MULES WERE KILLED
DRIVER BARELY ESCAPED.
Animals Attached to One of Hcs-
sioux Wagons Killed on Sen-
board Airline Track.

Two mules attached to wagon belong
ing to Mr.. Cyrus Bossieux and driven
by negro man were struck by a Sea-
board Airline train at the foot of Seven
tenth and both killed.
The remarkable part about the acct.
dent was that Notwithstanding the fact
that both mules were killed and the wa
gon thrown against the bank OF tho
creek. the driver after a short trip hea-
venvard returned to earth. landing with
thud which slightly shook him up.
but as far as known he sustained no other
injury After a few seconds. during
which tine the man lay in a heap. and
the witnesses thought his body alone
had returned to earth. the negro adhered
himself together and rushed to the as
sistance Of his mules.
One mule was killed outright and the
other died In a few minutes. The wa
gon was in no way hurt, the pole not
even being broken.
The man was driving down Hospital
street, and he failed to hear the train:
The mules were struck squarely and
knocked to either side The wagon was
turned over on the creek bank and the
driver was thrown into the air.. His zes-
cape was miraculous. and had the mules
advanced step further before they were
struck the man would certainly have been
seriously injured. If not killed. -

CAMDEN. N. T.. January Paul
Woodward was hanged in the Camden
Jail to-day. The drop fell at 1905 o'clock.
and Woodward was pronounced dead ten
minutes later woodward was apparently
the most unconcerned person In the party
at the hanging. and showed remarkable
nerve.
Paul Woodward's crime was the mur-
der on October LIST last. Of John Coffin.
aged II years; and Price eanings. aged
IA years. The boys disappeared from
their homes on October list. and their
bodies were found in wood near Haddon
HEIGHTS, six miles from here. on October
4th. woodward had been seen In COM
pany with the lads on the day OF tnelr
disa appearance, and was arrested.
An analysis of the boys stomachs SHOW
ed that they had died from arsenicai poi
sonIng. The police officials learned that
woodward had bought arsenic few
DAYS prior to the boys disappearance,
and upon being indicted by the grand jury
he was later placed on trial and con-
yicted of murder in the first degree.
Counsel for the prosecution claimed that
Woodward had poisoned the boys for the
purpose of robbery. When they left home
the boys had $40 In their possession. but
when the bodies were found the pockets
Of their clothing did not contain penny.

In his letter transmitting the report

diate help by Congress for the inhabit-
ants Of the archipelago.
In his letter transmitting the report,
and endorsing Secretary Roots plea, the
President says:
81 call your special attention to the re-
comm endatfons contained in this letter OF
the Secretary of Wars. I most earnestly
fee; that the enactment of the measure
already pending in your body for the bet
terment Of the Philippine Islands is I'M
peratively demanded by the situa ton IN
those islands. and serious calamity may
come from failure to enact them. Fur
thermore. with equal earnestness ask
your attention 10 the recommendat ton
of the Secretary of War in the accom-
panying letter. and urge its adoption SO
that the sum Of money therein specified
may be appropriated for the uses and IN
the manner likewise specified. in order
that the present distress in the islands
may be remedied.
Secretary Root, in his letter to the
President. says:
ut seems to me that the conditions re-
sulting from the destruction by rinderpest
Of so per cent of the caraboas. the draft
animals of the Islands. and the conse-
auent failure of the rice crop. followed
by an epidemic of cholera, are SO serious
and distressing as to call for action by
Congress beyond that for which the com
mission specifically asks. The removal
under the laws Of Congress, of export
duties on goods shipped from the Phil
ippines to the United States, has mate
rally reduced the revenues of the Islands
while the duties collected in the United
States upon Philippine products, Wnich,
under the same laws were to be turned
over the Philippine treasury. and were ex-
pected to make good the deficit. have
amounted to practically nothing. - the
same time, the decline in the price OF
silver, the evils of a fluctuating currency
and the impoverishment Of the people
have reduced the government revenues
when they are most needed for relief
of the people" =.
The Secretary recommends an approprta-
ton of IS, 600, 900 for expenditure IN the
distribution Of supplies and upon relief
work.

SEVEN MEN KILLED
SIX ARE INJURED.
Railway Wreck Near Duquesne, Pa.
Two of the Victims Literally
Roasted to Death-All Badly


PITTsBURG, PA. January 7.-As a re-
suit Of collision between passenger
train and the rear end of a freight train
on the Monongahela division Of the Penn
sylvania railway tonight. at Cochrane
station just above Duquesne. seven men
are dead, one is dying. and Ave others
are injured.
THE DEAD.
C. E. STROUD, baggagemaster, of Eliz-
abeth accommodation; HomeWood.
en-. BONNER, brakeman Of accommo-
dalton train. Pittsburg.
JOHN STEWART, passenger: residence
unknown.
TWO UNKNOWN FOREIGNERS; kill
ed outright
on way to hospital.
Injured: r. D. Cook, conductor Of &C
commodation, will probably die before
morning; Sam Sullahowky. shoulder
blade fractured: Peter Kimonsky. badly
injured; John A. Smith. seriously injured;
Mike Chowik. slightly injured; Mike Cen
tile, slightly injured.
The passenger train in the wreck was
the West Elizabeth accommodation, which
left P,ttsburg at 500 P. NJ. It was on
time, and had clear track, according to
the signals displayed at the siding at
Cochrane. 1t ran into the rear car OF an
extra freight, which had taken the switch
but failed to clear the main line.
REAR BRAKEMAN RESPONSIBLE
The officials Of the road attribute the
disaster to the failure Of Patrick Quinn.
the rear brakeman of the freight. to see
that his train had fully cleared. Up to
II P. NJ, Quinn had not been located.
When the passenger train came along.
the caboose Of the freight overlapped the
main track enough to: catch the tender
OF the passenger engine. which was forced
back upon the combination baggage and
smoking car with terrible force The
thirteen passengers were damned against
the rear end Of the car into almost solid
mass. Three Of the victims were appar-
entity killed outright. two Of the other
four were literally roasted to death. and and
two who died on the way to the hospital
were so banly burned that recognition
was almost impossible.
Immediately after impact. The stove IL
the smoker communicated fire to the
wreck. and the victims were tortured be
yond recognition. All OF the victims were
badly burned. Conductor Cook was found
unconscious under the charred body OF
Baggagemaster Stroud. He is SO badly
hurt that he can hardly i've the night
through.
Strange to say, not even truck. except
those of the tender. left the track. the
passengers in the coaches being thus pro-
Stected from ham. No other cars outside
{ ofl the smoker were injured. and the
tracks were cleared within short time
