TACOMA CHURCHES OBSERVE
CHRISTMAS IN MANY WAYS

Services celebrating the birth of the
Christ will be held at nearly all Chris
tian churches, either this evening or to-
morrow.
The Emmanuel Presbyterian church
held it's Christmas celebration last eve
ming. 1t consisted of an enjoyable pro-
gram rendered by children 1t was this
tact, perhaps, which attracted Santa
Claus, for the lovable old man suddenly
appeared in the midst of the children and
proceeded to entertain the juveniles by
recounting experiences in his travels.
Overcome by his long journey, Santa fell
asleep. A chorus OF little girls soothed
his slumbers with "Please Go Way and
Let Me Sleep" At the close of the song
the children heaped about Santa great
piles of gifts for him to give to other
children whom he should visit.
The Christmas services of the Central
Christian church will be held Tuesday
evening. An entertaining program of ap-
propriate songs and recitations has been
prepared for the evening.
The services at st. Luke's Episcopal
church will be opened by holy communion
and the singing of Christmas carols at
1880 a. m. At 1890 a. m. holy communion
will be held and a sermon preached by
DlsnOp II. w. AedLOr.
a celebration of the holy communion
will be held at st. Andrews Episcopal
church at 9:l5 Christmas morning. A
musical program of Christmas selections
will be given in the evening in charge
of Mrs. L. 9. Thompson.
The Holy Rosary Catholic church will
open its Christmas services with solemn
high mass at 5 a. m. Christmas morning.
AT the second mass at a. m. anthems
will be sung by choir of children. At
lO:3O a. m. the last high mass will be held,
at which a male choir will render a mass
appropriate to the occasion.
Holy eucharist at a. m, mathis, holy
eucharist and sermon at ii a. m, accom-
panied by an elaborate musical program,
will comprise the Christmas day services
of the Church of the Holy Communion,
Rev. Harry Hudson, rector.
The Sunday school Christmas services
for both the Mason Methodist and the
Falkland Methodist churches will be held
this evening. An extensive and most en-
tertaining program has been arranged by
both the Mason and Parkland Metho-
dists.
Not only in the churches have steps
been taken to celebrate Christmas. The
Salvation Army, working hand in hand
with the Associated Charities, has gone
into the out of the way places and found
those to who ma small gift Of lfe's ne
cessities would be thankfully received.
Then these workers for the poor set
themselves to the far greater task of Sc
curing the gifts for the unfortunate ones.

Passenger Train on B. & 0. Crashes
Into Timber Pile -Sixty-Eight
People Killed and Thirty
Injured.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, Dec A.-The
Duquesne limited, the fast b. g. o. train
from Pittsburg to New York, crashed into
a pile of railroad timber at Laurel Run,
near Dawson, at 7:45 o'clock last night.
SiAty-eight of the passengers and crew
were killed and thirty injured.
When the train struck it was running
at high rate of speed. The train had
lett Pittsburg a few minutes late and the
time had to be made up. The place where
the accident occurred is an exceptionally
tine stretch of track The train was run
Aing smoothly when the passengers were
suddenly thrown from their seats by the
application of the air brakes. This shock
was followed a few seconds later by the
heavier crash. The train, which was COM
posed of the engine, two day coaches, one
sleeping car and two baggage cars, was
torn to pieces. The engine toppled over
and rolled down the bank, followed by
the rest of the train.
When the cars stopped rolling the wild
est scene imaginable resulted. Some of
the injured were pinned down under the
wreckage and the dead were everywhere.
Ibe scene was sickening. The awful char
acter of the accident did not impress
itself on all at once. They couldn't rea-
lie the extent of the loss for nearly half
an hour.
Had it not been for an act of bravery
on the part of Thomas j. Baum, the
baggagemaster, another horror would
have been added. Another fast passenger
tram was approaching the one that was
wrecked, on the opposite track, over
which debric was strewed. Baum,
bruised and bleeding from a dozen
cuts, crawled forth to stop the second
train that he knew was coming. He had
nothing with which to flag the train ex-
cept matches. He set fire to his coat
with them and then with the burning coat
stopped the oncoming train. When he
saw that he had sa1ed trrt5 ifif]yts-af those
on the train, Baum collapsed
Every man in the smoking car of the
wrecked train was killed. Those to whom
mercy showed itself were killed instantly.
The others were cooked with the hot
steam from the boiler of the engine. Not
a man who was in the car escaped They
were partly foreigners and negroes.
A train load of physicians left this place
for the scene of the accident last night.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1903-12-24

here, propositions were made to him re-
garding certain pieces of property. He
would not enter into any agreement in
regard to them just then, but gave out the
lntimation that later on the propositions
would be considered. No, there is no
doubt about the Union Pacific coming In
over some other tracks temporarily, per-
haps, but ultimately over their own. They
have their right of way from the Column
bia nearly all the way now, if not all the
way, and in. 1893 spent about four and
one-half millions of dollars on it, but were
prevented from completing the work at
that time by the financial panic which
spread throughout the country"
1t is believed that negotiations are now
going on in regard to certain properties
here which are known only to railroad Of
fcials. According to the old survey the
Southern Pacific would come in along the
edge of the Indian addition to Tacoma.
1t is said that parties living out in that
vicinity have been approached for 70
foot right of way through their acreage
tracts.

EXPRESS OFFICES
ARE CROWDED

On account of the heavy Christmas trade
the agents, drivers and clerks of the vari-
GUS express companies about town are
compelled to work overtime. John l..
Hopkins, agent for the Northern Pacific
and Wells-Fargo express companies, says
this is the best Christmas, SO far as ex-
press business is concerned. that he has
seen since coming here Ia years ago. For
more than week the express office force
has been compelled to work day and night
to keep UP with their work Formerly
people have put off sending their pack
ages TO the express Offices, but have
learned that delays are dangerous AMI
are trying to avoid the rush. Ii is hard
to realize what the express receipts would
amount to.
No package is sent for less than 20
cents, and this is only part of the busi-
ness done by the express companies. The
distribution and collection of packages
done by these companies throughout the
world is enormous during the holiday sea
son.
In Tacoma alone it will take ten wag-
ons to do the delivering.
People are sending more packages by
express because the delivery is more
prompt and the risk from damage in tran
sit is reduced to the minimum.
