WOMAN KILLED BY TRAIN KNOWN.
Engineer and Fireman's Miraculous Escape
From D Dsath---YOung Doctor nrops Dead.
Especial to News and Observer.

Especial to News and Observer)
Asheville, n. c., Nov. 6.-The woman
who was run over by passenger train
near here last night was today identified
as Katherine Amberg. a German, who for
the past six years had been employed as
cook at the residence of Mrs. John A. Roe
bling, OF this city. The general opinion
is that the woman deliberately committed
suicide. Mrs. Roebhng said today that
the woman has acted strangely for several
days, and that yesterday morning she left
home with the intention of going to see a
physician. She never visited the physi-
clan, but after coming up town purchased
SIX street car tickets and went to Bit
more. She was seen by an acquaintance
there shortly after noon, but upon being
spoken to refused to recognize the ac-
qualntance. The woman was not seen al
ter that until after she had been run over
by the train.
There is a difference of opinion as to
whether or not the passenger train was the
cause OF the womans death Some say
that she was killed by the freight that
passed the spot shortly before the passen-
ger train, but it is generally believed that
she was run over but once.
Engineer Hendersick and Fireman Lord,
OF the freight train, which was wrecked at
the high trestle near Tryon early yester-
day morning, had miraculous escape
from death. The wreck occurred ust off
the trestle and on a steep embankment.
The engine turned over six times in roll
ing down the embankment and now lies
at the foot. distance of fifty fest Both
the engineer and fireman turned over with
the engine three times before they were
thrown, and how either one of them escap-
ed death is more than they themselves can
tell.
A message from Waynesville today said
that DR.. Dave Boyd, young physician
of that county, living at Delwood,
dropped dead this morning at his home
DR.. Boyd was about twenty-six years of
age and had many friends in this section.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 6.-Consul
General Gudger arrived in Washington
this morning from Asheville and received
instructions preliminary to his depar-
ture for the isthmus of Panama. Eariy

partment and had long conference with
Assistant Secretary Loomis.
The Instructions given Mir. Gudger were

arrival at Colon he is to make himsel.

de facto government and do business

As & result of Mr. Gudger's visit &c
the State Department, it was arrangco
that instead of going to New York anG
waiting for the saihng of a merchant
steamer 20 Colon next tuesday, he should
leave here Sunday on the President S
yacht, Mayfower, with Admiral Cogn-
Ian, who is to hurry to Panama with IL
structions to Admiral Glass, IN command
OF the Pacific squadron.
On his return from the State Depart
ment, Mr.. Gudger expressed the opinion
that the provisional government Of Pom
anna Will be able TO maintain itself. He
says Panama and Colon are the only
routes by which Colombians can enter the
Panama country and that this govern
ment will not allow armed Colombians 10
go through, because to do so they wouia
have to lombard these towns, and there
by would interrupt the worlds traffic
across the isthmus and destroy the prop
erty of Americans He thinks that IN
this position the American government
has ample precedent to support it.
Mr.. Gudger says ne Knows personally
the three members of the executive
board, now constituting the provisional;
government, that they are men OF strong
cL1cacters, leaders in the commercial
world and command respect OF al, their
people From this and the recognition
of the new republic by this country, he
argues the stability of the government
they have set UP, even though there are
only three hundred thousand people in
Panama, while there are four ard bah
millions in Colombia.
These views may be regarded as in !.
measure rejecting the position of the
government of this country regarding
Panama In other words, it is the ev--
dent intention of this administration TO
uphold, at all cost, Panama in IT'S ses~
sions from the Colombian republic, if in
deed it does not purpose to grab an.
other slice of foreign territory. What 4
contrast such a course presents to the
position Of this same government regard
ing the Southern States forty odd years
ago. when Secession was rebellion and
ali who gave aid of comfort to it were
guilty OF treason.

cAssArT IN CHICAGO.
Pennsylvania May Build a $1O,oO0,-
600 Depot There.

The Chicago Chronicle says: Presi-
dent A. J. CaSSatt of the Pennsylvania
railroad visited Chicago yesterday and
as result of his short stay in the city
it is probable that the terminal facili-
ties furnished the roads entering the
Union station will be improved in the
near future. Mr. Cassatt was accom-
panied by Vice Presidents James Nc
E. B. Tavlor and by other officers and
five directors of the company. While
it was announced that the trip was
made for the purpose of inspecting the
Pennsylvania between Chicago and
Pittsburg, the question of improved
terminal facilities for Chicago occupied
most of the time of the officials.
It has been understood for some time
past that general plan for the con-
templated improvements in Chicago
was submitted some time ago and the
officials of the Pennsylvania system are
said to have given their approval. The
plan comprehends the erection of a
new depot at a cost of about 10000
600, with separate passenger and freight
terminals. The present site will be
used for the new DEPOT and additional
yards and freight buildings will be
erected near Eighteenth street 1t is
likely that the work will be begun
when the track elevation plans of the
Pennsylvania are put into effect.
Mr. Cassatt stated yesterday that his
visit to Chicago was simply one of in
SpectiOn and that the vice presidents
and directors had been invited to par
ticipate in the journey in order to
familiarize themselves with the condi-
ton of the company'S tracks and equip
ment in the west. The party arrived in
Chicago from Cleveland early yester-
day morning on a special train, and
While President CaSSatt was taken over
the road in the vicinity of Chicago the
directors were driven through the down
town streets in carriages. The train
left at noon for Pittsburg.
