AS he was climbing for the window he

was startled to find the child was alive.
The little one was taken out apparently un-

The engineer Of the express. John S.
Davies, was not the regular engineer. He
was a relief engineer for the fast train

regular man, who had a day off. He was.
however, perfectly familiar with the run
ming of the train, as he ran it at least
once a week.
Before the wreckage had cooled the work
of getting out the charred bodies began.
Men worked the heap with poles and rods
of iron taken from the pile of debris and
raked out several arms, legs and heads.
Many of those who died will never be rec

Quick work was made In furnishing a

Representatives Meet to Discuss At
titude on the Reformatory Bill.

The Democratic members OF the House
held a caucus at o'clock last evening at
the Grand Hotel to see If they could get
together on the Reformatory bill and take
a united stand one way or the other. 1t
was the desire of prominent members to
make the bill caucus measure, but after
some little discussion 1t was found that
there were some who would not agree TO
stand by caucus decision, no matter what
that might be, and 1t was finally decided
that every Democrat should vote as he
pleased.
Ii devclopcd at the caucus that thirteen
of Ia, n embers of the minority were de-

ard tf.,'t twenty-one were as strongly In
clined toward the opposition and would
vote against ii. This really the only
thing that was accomplished at the caucus,
showing as il did the real position Of the
minority. All sorts of claims had been
made as to the manner in which the mi
nority vote would be divided. but the fig
ures given above are those that would
have been shown had the bill ever been
placed on its passage.
The Democratic representatives knew
nothing of the movement on the major ify
side toward a compromise, and those VI
them that were especially interested in the
contest spent last eveEing In preparing
themselves for the first skirmish which
was expected to-day.

NOT FOR "WATTY. "
He Will Not Consider a Proposition to
Manage Philadelphia Club.

Reports have been circulated recently
that the Widener-Ekins syndicate wants
to buy the Indianapolis baseball club
well as the Philadelphia National League
club and that Hugh ]. MCGOWAN is now
in Philadelphia for the purpose Of COM
plotting the deal for the purchase of the
latter club. 1t is said that w. III. Wat
kins is wanted as manager for the Phila-
delphia club and that in order to induce
him to accept it would be necessary for
the syndicate to purchase the Indianapolis
club. Mr.. Watkins says his business is
here and that he would not consider
proposition to manage the Philadelphia
club. He said if someone were to offer
million dollars for the Indianapolis club
he might consider ii, but from present
indications the Philadelphia club could not
afford to pay him a salary that would
warrant him in leaving. The Philadelphia
papers have mentioned Mr.. Wat1ins's name
in connection with the management Of
the Philadelphia club.
