Allev Reported in Fair Condition.

Robert l. Fleming of 1905 Massachusetts
avenue recently requested the Commission
ers to pave the north and south alley in
square Pa, between 18th and 18th and K
and L streets northwest. The computing
engineer, Mr.. c. B. Hunt, has reported to
the authorities that after personal ex-
animation he does not think the condition
of the alley Is such as to call for its re-
paving in the absence of request for the
same from a majority of the AUDITING prop
erty owners. Its present pavement OF cob
BILE Is in comparatively fair condition.
If the alley were repaved Mr. Hunt says.
radical changes in the grade would be re-
CURED and these would be Instantaneous
to Mr.. Jennings property. The necessity
for repairs does not appear to be urgent.

warded to the Commissioners letter from
Jones & LeBaron of New York requet-
ing payment of the balance due the firm
for vault light work done at the Trumbull
street pumping station for Brown &
yetcham. subcontractors. The superin-
tendent of the water department.. w. A.
Mcfarland. has recommended that the
action taken by Mr.. McKenney, superin-
tendent of construction of the station, be
approved. The superintendent held that
no portion of the Fuller Company's con-
tract could be accepted until the compile
ton Of the whole. The vault lights will
therefore not be accepted prior to the &C

Interior received a letter from the Secre-
tary of State transmitting a commu-
nication from the United States min
lister to Japan, In which the depart
ment was informed that the markets
of Japan were being flooded with an En-
glish made pen in exact imitation Of the
Spencerian pen on which international pat
ents have been granted. The department
notified the manufacturers of the Spence
rian pen of the matter. and through the
aid of the patent laws of Japan the sale Of
the English imitation has been stopped.
The Interior Department was informed of
the action of the Japanese authorities to-

MINERS CONVENTION CLOSES
Many Important Measures Considered and
Acted Upon During Its Sessions
at Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Jan. %. - The mine
workers completed their work and adj
journed yesterday afternoon. The con-
vention has been the most expeditions
and harmonious ever held. Many i'm
p0rtant measures have been considered
and acted upon. Among them are the
formulation of the demand for an in
crease of wages of 1912 cents fiat per
ton on a run-of-mine basis and a fiat
differential of Z cents per ton between
pick and machine mined coal; a de-
mand for an increase of wages of in
side and outside laborers in proper
ton to the increase of the miners;
the refusal to commit the convention
to socialism and government owner
ship; raising officers salaries; the. dec
laration against children working in
mines; the demand for an anti-injunc-
ton law and the plans for a defense
fund.
The conference will be held with the
operators Friday. 1t is the opinion of
the members of the convention that the
conference will be of short duration.

flames. The passengers in the two for
ward cars of the first train, all the men
from the express, and every one In the
neighborhood started work at once to
get out the injured before the flames
could reach them.
At times While toilng in the wreck
age the flames reached the rescuerS
and their cl;@.ing took fire, but they
worked OH though in constant danger
OF being killed themselves. Some Of the
injured We're burned to death in sight
OF the men who were working with
desperation to save them. Firemen
from WeStfeld after time mastered
the flames. Then the Wreckage was at
tackled again and the work Of recover
ing the bodies was begun. Out Of the
first car eight bodies were taken.
The sight while the wreck was burn
ing was hOrrifying. Men could be seen
IN the Wreckage pinned fast amid the
tlmbers Of the cars and struggling to
be free, while the flames roared around
them. The rescuers were helpless to
aid them, as they already had been
driven from the wreck by the flames.
One of those who tried to take out
man pinned in found that he was held
down by leg near the ankle, and seeing
that it would be useless to do anything
else is said to have finally severed the
mans leg and then carried him to one
of the parlor cars. The rescued and
rescuer were badly burned.

THEY BEGGED TO BE KILLED
Those Who Saw the Relentless Flames
Coming Nearer and Nearer.

Those Who Saw the Relentless Flames
Coming Nearer and Nearer.
The imprisoned ones begged for
death to end their agonies and i'm
plored those who were laboring to get
them free to crush their heads with
the axes they were using to chop
away the wreckage. One Of the res
cuers relates an experience which star
tied him. He had climbed on to the
worst wrecked car. The fire was burn
ing below him. There were two men
there. One of them begged for drink
and bottle of whisky was passed
up. The injured man grasped it eager
ly and began to drink.
While clutching the bottle he died.
The rescuer took the bottle from him
and passed it to the other man, but,
although he had been alive few min
utes before, he was then dead The
rescuer then started to get out, intend
ing to drop out Of a window. AS he
was climbing for the window he knelt
on body and found it to be that of
child. On reaching down for it he was
startled to find the child was alive
The little one was taken out appar-
emily uninjured and is now in a house
at Westfield.
One passenger only was severely
hurt on the Royal Blue. He was walk
ing in the aisle Of one of the cars when
the crash came, and the impact hurled
him up into the air and sidewise across
tie heads of several persons in chairs,
aid then through a window. One of
his hands was cut and he was badly
bruised. He said he was Il son of John
Wanamaker, Of Philadelphia. He did
good work later on.
1t is impossible to give any authen-
tic list of the missing. A list would
include scores Of men and women who
are now at home safe.

tax commission renews it's recommen-
dation, made two years ago, for tax
ing the railroads of the state on their
valuation instead Of on the license fee
basis. A strong argument is made by

Odd Facts Developed by Their Prom
fnence In Murder Trials.

The important part played in many
murder trials by a fattened and mis-
shapen bit of lead or steel, once in the
form of a bullet, often leads to the de-
velOpment of some curious facts, says
the Baltimore American. A leaden Dull
let will lose appreciably in weight by
being fired, and the form of the barrel
may tend to reduce it's size. In rifle
some of the lead is taken off by the
grooves. The friction also heats and
tends to partially melt the outside OF
the ball. and because Of this it changes
it's shape in the air.
One peculiar fact about a bullet is
that it will very often make a wound of
entry smaller than the projectile itself
even in so brittle q substance as glass.
Another strange fact about q bullet IS
that it will often pass through inter
vening clothing, making a hole that can
hardly be noticed and yet carry on its
point circular piece Of cloth. The car
rying Of bits of clothing, hair OF dirt in
to wounds in such q manner greatly
enhances the dangers of peritonitis.
Were it not for this latter contact the
bullet would not be nearly so danger
GUS, as it's rapid fight and heating
make it practically sterile.
Blackened edges of wounds are more
likely to have been caused by lead
bullet, although the ball with lead tip
could also produce this result. Regard
ing powder stains, smOkelcss or other
wise, nothing of great value is to be
gained when the shooting occurs at a
distance greater than twelve or fifteen
feet At a recent trial a doctor stated
that from powder marks on the face
he judged that the shot had been fired
at a distance of not more than three
feet, which conclusion was later backed
up by the assertion made on the stand
by the prisoner himself.

THE LONG TAILED TROGON
a Most Gorgeous Bird Is the Ma
tiona1 Emblem of Guatemala.


By far the most interesting bird en-
hlem Of a modern state is that Of the
republic of Guatemala. 1t has been
adopted as the M tonal crest for so
long that, partly through the taste for
stamp collecting, the existence Of one
of the rarest and most beautiful of the
bird creation has been made far more
widely known than it otherwise would
have been. There is q race OF birds
called trogons, most of which have
very fine feathers and remarkable col
oring. They are found in India and
the Malays, but are most numerous III
Central and South America. 1t was
from their plunl;; sc that the MeXicans
made their far uS mOSaicS Of feather
work. From the tail feathers they
made the lusI Gus green helmets OF
their kings anl mobiles. The most gor-
geous of all vas the long tailed or re-
splendent trogon. which was kept as a
sacred or royal bird in the palace Of
Montezuma or in one of the two houses
which formed the royal menagerles.
Adequate description of the bird is al
most impossible. It has a rounded
plume on the head, cascades of feath-
ers falling from the back over the
shoulders, plumes falling over the tail
a yard long and most elegant con-
tour. The color of the whole of the
upper surface and plumes is most re-
splendent golden green, that Of the
breast and under parts crimson or scar
let. Such is the national emblem of
Guatemala.

AIexander's Miserable End.

At a period when most men who sue
ceed are just beginning to mount the
first stepping stone of success Alexan-
der the Great was at the summit of his
power. With a trained force of less
than 100000 men he had over run all of
what was then considered the civilized
part of Asia and also Egypt. He over
threw army after army UNNECESSARILY
his superior in numbers so swiftly that
the world was dazzled by the rapidity,
scope and magnitude of his achieve
ments. He was looked upon as a sort
of demigod. And yet even he was sigh
ing because there were no more worlds
to conquer He persisted miserably aft
er a prolonged debauch. His mighty
empire melted like mist under the in
f1uence of the rising sun and his life
work went apparently for nothing

STORY OF THE AWFUL WRECK
How 1t Happened That the Two Trains
Came Together.


The train which was run into left
New York at $40 and runs express
to Bound Brook, making stops at Eliza
beth, Westfield and Plainfeld. Beyond
Bound Brook it runs as a local. The
Royal Blue train left fifteen minutes
later, but travels at higher speed
and makes no stops except at Eliza
beth, and is scheduled to oyertake
the slower train just beyond Grace
land, where the latter switches from
track onto track 4 to permit the
Royal Blue to pass.
Last evening freight train was
blocked on track 4, and the local re-
ceiyed orders to proceed on the express
track to Dunellen and there take the
outside or No. 4 track. Shortly after
receiving orders the train had to stop
for a hot box, which delayed her SO
that when she got under way again
she was due at Dunellen. She had
just started and was moving slowly
when the Royal Blue, travelling appar-
emily at full speed, which at that point
apprOXimateS sixty-five miles an hour,
crashed into the rear-end
The heavy engine Of the Royal Blue
tore it's way into the rear car, and at
the same time drove the forward end
of that car into the rear end of the
car ahead. which in turn was driven
into the third car, and this in turn
was driven into the fourth car from
the rear The fourth car was only
partly wrecked, but the last three were
torn to pieces.
The engine Of the Royal Blue left
the rails and turned over on her side,
the engineer and firemenl sticking to-
their posts and going down in the
wreck. They are now in the Mullen
burg hospital at Plainfeld, and the
engineer is rot believed to have a
chance of living more than a few
hours.

Murdered for His Money.

Monroe, Wis, Jan. 29.-John Brad
shaw, a wealthy farmer, was found
murdered on his doorstep. The crime
is supposed TO have been committed
by robbers. Every room in the house
showed that it had been ransacked and
the mans pocketbook, together, with
all of the valuables in the house, were
stolen. A great cash in his head, nine
Inches long, told how he had come to
his death.
