of the flyer, was seriously injured. and
was taken 10 the Hazleton hospital.
Between Hazleton and Lofty there
Is a single track. which is used by both
the Lehigh Valley and the Pennsylva-
mia Railroads. Through a misunder-
standing of orders both trains got on
this single stretch of track. The
freight engine. one car and caboose
was coming north and running about
is miles an hour. The flyer was
= speeding south over the rails at about
SO miles an hour. Both trains we're
very close to each other before the en-
gineers saw the danger, Then the en-
gineer of the passenger train applied
the emergency brake. but not In time
10 avert a collision. Both locomotives
came together with a terrific crash.
The freight engine leaped over the
TOP of the express car and plunged in
TO the chair car. The passengers in
this car we're hurled in every direction.
The porter Harry Hayward. colored,
was thrown against the ceiling and
probably fatally injured. The hot
Goals from the fire box set fire to the
chair car and It was destroyed in a
short time. Hayward was dragged out
OF the burning car just in time to save
him from being incinerated. Both en-
gines were totally demolished by the
force of the collision.
A relief train was sent out from
Hazleton and a number of doctora
were on board. The injured were
brought TO the Hazleton hospital. Il
is said the engineer of the freight
train had an order to take a side
track and allow the flyer to pass, bul
failed to reach the siding before the
passenger train arrived. The railroad
officials stated that none of the pas
sengers were seriously injured.
The responsibility for the accident
is placed on the crew OF the freight
engine.

College men Throughout the East
are very anxious to know what dis
position Yale has made or is going to
make of the case of Edgar II. Glass,
who Harvard justly claims is ineligi-
bic to represent the Blue next year
because the present makes his fourth
year in intercollegiate athletics.
There is good reason to believe that
Yale has decided not to try to use
Glass another year, because the Har-
ward authorities have ceased to trou-
bic themselves about the matter. The
Crimson leaders made known their
position to Yale some time ago, and
their complete silence now is taken
to mean that they have been assured
by Yale that Glass will not be used
next year.

Mining men are telling good story
on how Vollney Williamson lost q
fortune by reason Of few flea bites
Some time back he had secured a
bond for $4,000 on a mine in Mexico.
He FASTENED back to Spokane and Sc
cured the service Of a mining engi-
neer.
This gentleman went south, accom-
panied by his wife, and they took up
their dwelling near the mine in a
Mexican adobe building. The place
was infested with an active specie of
the flea, and the wife insisted on
leaving Immediately, causing her hus-
band to throw up his commission.
And now Williamson learns that
the mine has passed into other hands
and 1t Is netting 5000 per day. There
is stated to be 5000, 900 tons of pay
ore in sight and so promising is the
property that even the Guggenheims
are after It.

Make two bread pills, and say to
the spectators that you are going to
throw one Of them away, and put the

Here Is the way to do the trick:
Hold one Of the pills between the
thumb and first finger of your right
hand for everyone to see. Then make
a motion as If throwing it away, but
by a deft, unseen motion Of your
thumb you must slip it between the
first and second fingers, where you

Now take up the second pill and
place It in your left hand. skilfuuy
