EXACT CAUSE OF THE WRECK
Accident Drops an Obstruction on the
Track at a Curve.

Accident Drops an Obstruction on the
Track at q Curve.
The wreck was caused by the break
ing of the castings on a car load Of
bridge timbers. on west-hound
freight train which had passed Laurel
Run not more than fifteen minutes be
fore the Inflated passenger train. The
wreck occurred on curve. and it was
impossible for Engineer Thornley, tc
see far enough ahead to detect thu
obstruction on the tracks, The big At
lantic type engine plunged into the tim
bers. at velocity of sixty miles
an hour. The engine ploughed into
the embankment and the haggage and
express car were thrown into the
Youghiogheny river.
The smoker followed the engine. and
landed squarely on top OF 1t. This al
lowed the escaping steam from the en-
CINE to fill the car The smoker was
packed to its utmost capacity. and all
the passengers were cooked alive Not
a single passenger in this car escaped
WITH his lie. and 1t Is estimated that
at least forty of the dead were in the
smoker.
Baggagemaster Thomas ]. Baum. Of
Hazelwood. who was on the wrecked
train. proved himself hero. With
his head and body frightfully cut he
managed to crawl from the wreckage
and cropping his way along i'm dark
ness tagged the west-Dound passenger
train No. 40. He had nothing with
which to flag the train except matches.
and these he made use of in his desper-
alton by taking off his coat and set
ting fire to it. He stopped the train
just in time to prevent it from plung-
ing into the wreck and adding further
horror to an already indescribable dis
aster. Bum collapsed when he saw
he had succeeded In stopping the train.

Ex-Members OF the Mikado's Cabinet Tell
Their Views at a Banquet.
Toxic, Dec. 26.-At q dinner given
by the Oriental association ex-Foreign
Minister Kato, who presided, said he
deeply regretted that the people had
not been taken into the confidence Of
the government regarding the position
Of affairs between Japan and Russia.
Nevertheless, he said, should the en-
peror declare war the nation would be
found ready to give him unanimous
support.
Count Okuma, the ex-premier, said
he agreed with the view expressed by
kato, and he thought it was now high
time to let the people know the actual
position occupied by the government.
He also declared that not only feel
ing of chivalry but a desire for self
preservation required that Japan should
buttress the integrity of China. Both
speakers thought that the situation
had reached an extremely critical
stage.

Chicago. Dec. 2i.-The struggle be-
tween the Liverymen's and Undertak-
ers' association and the Livery Drivers
union, which for the past six days has
seriously interfered with the burial Of
Chicago's dead. as no hearses or car
riages have been available for funer-
ais, Is to be q fight to the finish, all
efforts looking to settlement of the
strike by Cancellation having been
abandoned For tine past two days the
prospects for settlement by arbitra
ton seemed bright, but the contending
parties have drifted farther apart than
ever, and ell peace negotiations have
been declared OF by the employers.
Will Fight for the .Open Shop"
At meeting of the employers af-
fected by the strike it was decided TO
open for business this morning on the
''open shop principle, and employ I'M
ion or non-union men. Before this de-
cision was reached arrangements were
made to petition one Of thecircuit court
judges the first thing this morning for
an Injunction restraining the stsrikers
from interfering with the business Of
the employers. The conservative ele-
ment at the meeting worked hard to
prevent the opening Of the stables, but
was defeated.
Union Leaders Pr c6ict Trouble.
The union officials predict trouble
when the 'open shop plan is tried. In
anticipation of opposition by the I'M
ion the employers have called upon
Chief OF Police O'Niell for further po-
lice protection against violence and
picketins. In reply Chief O'Niell said:
THE police have been ordered to ex-
tend you the utmost protection in car
ryi,.g on funerals. If you experience
the slightest trouble call up the nearest
police station, and if that does not
help, call me up" Chief C'Niells plan
is to have policemen accompany all fu-
nerals in cabs.
May Appeal to the State.
Members of the association said that
If the police fail to maint lin order the
sheriff will be called upon for protec-
ton. and should that measure IalI the
governor would be appealed to for the
troops.

THEIR DEATHS MOST HORRIBLE
Doctor Eek plains the Cause Of the Deaths
Of the Victims OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Crash.

and Ohio Crash.
Connellsville, Pa, Dec. 26.-Dr.
Thomas B. Mehard, who assisted in
rescue work at the wreck and attend
ed many of the injured, gave scien-
tific medical version Of the cause Of
the deaths. He said: aside from the
engineer and fireman, who died from
crushing violence, the death Of all the
others was due to the inhalation of
superheated steam, thus causing an
edema of the larynx and interfering
with respiration, death resulting from
the want of oxygen. In other words
the victims died of air starvation
The word edema practically means
an escape of the watery element of the
blood in the surrounding tissues, thus
causing pressure on the opening from
the lungs to the throat in the place
where the vocal cords are attached.
This change in the vocal cords and
larynx. practically scalding or cook
ing, caused the alteration in voice
sounds emitted by those who had in
hailed the deadly steam. This death
is one Of the most horrible known to
medical science"

So 1t Is Said of the Jap's Note to
the Bear That Walks Like
a Man."
REPLY BY THE 7TH OF JANUARY
in Her Position-Wal Spirit
at Toxic.

London, lee. 26.-The Daily Nail
Kobe correspondent says 1t is report
ed that the note to Baron Komura.
minister Of foreign affairs. to Baron de
Rosen. the Russian minister. in re-
Spouse to Russia's reply to the claims
Of japan. had a paragraph to the ef-
feet that only two weeks would be
allowed for an answer. This period
expires jan. Z.
Reports Are Very Contradictory.
But The Daily Nails report finds no
confirmation from any quarter and is
probably a revival OF an old rumor.
Special cabiegrams from the Far East
printed ia this mornings newspapers
reiterate the reports OF alleged war
preparations, but as Japanese secuTi-
ties yesterday recovered tie lost values
1t Is evident that little Importance is
attached to these rumors in financial
quarters. The Daily Telegraphs cor
respondent at Shanghai gives the
names of six steamers which Japan
has chartered for the conveyance Of
supplies, and says that the sixth army
division, now at the garrison city Of
Kumamoto is awaiting orders to pro-
coed to Korea.
Considering . Reply to Japan.
st. Petersburg. Dec. 26.-The Rus
sian government is still considering the
reply Of the japanese government 10
its note which was sent in answer to
Japan's demands relating to the situa-
ton in the Far East. A reconsidera-
ton Of the proposals made in the Rus
sian note is considered as d matter
of course here. Russia has never been
disposed to take any step which would
lead to an abrupt termination of the
negotiations with Japan.
Hopes to Gsye satisfaction.
In answer to many inquiries made
by the Associated Press the Russian
foreign office has always insisted that
the Russian proposals were so liberal
that it would be scarcely probable to
conceive any further concessions.
While the foreign Office is unwilling to
admit that Russia is prepared to offer
more than the concessions outlined in
the last note it is considered possible
that the government may suggest
changes by which the Russian require
ments may be met and satisfaction
given to Japan.
