THE WRECK VICTIMS
Connellsville's Sad Christmas, Where Another Succumbs.
FATHER FIENELLO LIES IN STATE
One of the Many Sad Features the Death of Robert Davidson, Who Was to Have Been Married
 on Christmas Day.


 on Christmas Day.
 CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, Dec 26.- Another name has been added to the long list resulting from the Duquesne limited wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Harry Devlin, one of the three remaining patients at the Got tage State hospital, expired yesterday morning. The total dead now numbers sixty-five, and this probably completes the list, as the two still at the hospital are doing well and will probably re- cover
 There was one Christmas funeral that of Edison Goldsmith. Goldsmith was a popular young man, and an inn mense concourse attended the services. The bodies of the other Connellsville victims will be held until today or to- morrow before burial. In fact, this is a necessity, as the undertakers are too overworked to attempt to conduct sev- eral funerals in day.
 Special services for the dead have been held in all the Protestant churches of the coke regions, and after the burial of Father Ftenello, which will take place today, the Catholic churches will hold masses for the dead.
 The body of Father Fienello was con- veyed to the main body of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, where it is lying in state.
 | The bodies of about thirty of the vic tims were gathered up and taken away on early trains.
 The remaining bodies identified will be shipped within the next twenty-four hours, and the. unknowns will be cared for by the borough council. President George Porter has called a special meeting to take measures toward the formation of a relief committee to look after bodies unidentified or unclaimed. In case no friends appear the citizens will see that the victims do not find a last resting place in the potter's field. 1 The saddest feature connected with the many sorrowful happenings fol- lowing the wreck which snuffed out sixty-f1ve lives was the death of Robert Davidson of Philadelphia. ., Davidson was fatally injured in the wreck. Dr. Chard attended him Knowing that his life was but a mat ter of a short time, he told his pitiful story to the surgeon as the relief train was bearing him to this place.
 "This Christmas day was to have been my wedding day" he said be tween spasns of pain. was to marry Hannah wietmaA in Philadelphia"
 His last words while lying on col fin the hospital were:
 Write to her, doctor. Tell her I an dying My last words were of her. Ii I am to die thus, tell her was brave."

EV FRY YE AR

And love, grown faint and fretful, With lips but half regretful, Averts it's eyes. forgetful,
 Every year. Oh! how sad to look before us,
 Every year: While the clouds grow darker OCT us,
 Every year: When we see the blossoms faded Which to bloom we might have aided, And immortal garlands braided,
 Every year. To the past go more dead faces.
 Every year; As the loved leave vacant places,
 Every year; Everywhere the sad eyes meet us, Tn the evenings dusk they greet us, And to come to them entreat us.
 Every year. "You are growing old." they tell us.
 Every year; "You are more alone" they tell us.
 Every year; "You can win no new affection, You have only recollection, Deeper sorrow and detection,
 Every year." Too true! Life's shores are shifting,
 Every year; And we are seaward drifting,
 Every year; Old places, changing, fret uS, The living more forget us, There are fewer to regret us,
 Every year. But the truer life draws higher,
 Every year; And it's morning star climbs higher.
 Every year; Earth's hold on HIS grows slfghter, And the heavy burthen lighter, And the Dawn Immortal brighter,
 Every year. Thank Godl no clouds are shifting, Every year; Ger the land to which we're drifting,
 Every year: No losses there will grieve us, Nor loving faces leave us, Nor death of friends bereave us, .. Every year.

river is rapidly falling. In a few more
days the work of reha bilitating North
Topeka may begin. The situation to-

of help; depth of river is yet % feet,
which is feet above highest ever

Gov. Bailey has issued a proclama-
ton calling for help and asking that
contributions be sent to William Sims,
treasurer.
The general relief fund has passed
$4,000. The Elks fund has passed $4,-
900. The fund in the hands of the
Governor now amounts to $500.

will be resumed some time tonight.

Over 200 deputies are guarding

The Governor may call an extra

provide state relief for all sufferers

hopes his appeal for help will bring
enough money to meet the emergency.
If it fails he said he will probably ask
the Legislature to make the necessary
appropriations.
