vision of the Penn sylvan ia Railroad COL
lided head-on this evening with a
freight train near Lofty, nine miles

Seriously Iniured-Israel Carey, en-
gineer; John Smith, fireman; Harry
Hayward, colored, porter.
Between Hazleton and Lofty there is
single track. which is used by both
the I,ehigh Valley and Pennsylvania
Railroad. Through a mtsunderstand-
ing of orders. both trains got on this
single stretch of track, and before the
engineers saw the danger II was toe
late to avert the collision.
The locomotives came together with
terrific crash. The freight engine
leaped over the top of the express car
anu pluHSeu lnuO the Cnalr car. Inc
passengers in this car were hurled in
every direction. The porter, Harry
Howard, was thrown against the roof
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.
A relief train was sent out from
Hazleton with a number of physicians
on board. The injured were brought
to the Hazleton Hospital. The engineer
OF the freight train had an order to

MAY RESIST ALLIES
OPPOSITION TO NAUGHTY POWERS
IS SHOWING.
BOWEN MAKES IT PLAIN
THAT OTHERS WILL BE ASKED TO
INTERVENE.

No Answer Yet RECEIVED From the
Last Venezuelan Proposition.
Gathering Signs That Other COun-
tries Having Claims VIII Not Con-
sent to Great Britain, Germany
and Italy Being Given the Prefer
ence-France and United States in
Accord.
Washington, Jan. SO.-No answer has
vet come from the allied Powers to Mr..
Bowen's last proposition. The British
ambassador sent a long cablegram to
Lord Lansdowne yesterday afternoon,
stating what might be expected in case
Great Britain and her two allies in
blockading Powers.
The next of the cablegram
cannot be published but it in
formed the Foreign Office that Min
ister Bowen, in the event of the re-
fusal of his proposition, would call
upon the representatives of the other
claimant Powers in Washington and
state to them that Venezuela was be-
ing forced by the triple alliance to yield
= a plan which would affect seriously
the interests of France, Belgium, Nor
way and Sweden. Spain, Denmark, Hol-
land and the United States.
When this step is taken it is expect
ed that France will make representa-
tons at once to London, Berlin and
Rome, protesting against any interfer-
ence with the previous arrangement
she has made with Venezuela for the
settlement of claims. France may be
joined in this protest by the other
claimant nations.
There is reason to believe that the
French government has sounded the
United States government to learn how
much in common there may be between
their interests in Venezuela. 1t is said
that there is a strong resemblance be-
tween the claims of the two nations;
perhaps enough to link them together
in resistance to any policy on the part
of the allies which would tend to de-
stroy or impair those interests.
For instance. the United States,
through a regular tribunal, the Ven
ezuelan Claims Commission, has Sc
cured judgment against Venezuela for
a considerable sum of money which
Venezuela has been paying in install
ments. France, by treaty and negotia-
lions, has secured what amounts to a
judgment against Venezuela, and she
claims that. her debtor must not be
destroyed or Venezuela's means of
meeting her payments TO France I'M
paired; as viii be the case by the adop-
ton of the preferential treatment de-
manded by the allies. These consid-
erations are tending to draw France
and the United States together in a
policy that is likely to take issue with
that of the allies. ,..........
1t was reported to-day that an an
swer to Mr.. Bowen's demand had been
received in Washington, but the re-
port cannot be confirmed officially,
and the answer if received, was not
transmitted to MIR. Bowen. If the an
swer did arrive, the suspicion is that
it was unfavorable to Mr.. Bowen's
contention.

NATURAL POWER WE'D
WITH ARTIFICIAL
Lightning Strikes n Cable of Nj
agara Falls Plant.

agara Falls Plant
Niagara Falls, N Y. Jan. S0.-Fire,
which was started by the explosion of
one of the big transformers in the
power house of the Niagara Falls Pow
er and Conduit Company last night,
destroyed thousands of dollars worth
of valuable machinery, and temporarily
closed most of the big factories here.
As soon as possible the work of re-
placing the damaged cables was be-
gun. and within two hours temporary
arrangements had been made with the
Niagara Fells Hydraulic Power and
Manufacturing Company. whereby
power was secured for operating the
local and Buffalo trolley line. Twenty
of the fifty-five factories of Lockport,
N. Y, were shut down owing to the
fire.
The fire was caused by a bolt of
lightning, which struck a cable with
defective insulation, causing a shert
circuit, which blew up a transformer
in the power house. The loss is in the
neighborhood of $4,000 The lightning
entered the transformer here directly
and was bolt of great magnitude.
At $50 o'clock tonight the temper
airy repairs at the Niagara Falls Pow
er and Conduit Coinpanys plant were
completed and the electrical famine
along the Niagara frontier, due to the
carly morning fire, was practically at
an end. Never before since the estab-
lishment of Niagara Falls power has
there been a delay of such magnitude.
1t was felt directly by thousands of
people of Buffalo, Niagara Falls,
Lockport and the Tonawandas, and
intermediate points. Hundreds of fac
tories were shut down for the day and
street car service was demoralized.
The electrical famine lasted nineteen
hours.
A short circuit tonight seriously
burned five men, one of whom may
die, and delayed repairs for an hour.
