Four Trainmen Killed and
Three Injured.
MISTAKE MADE BY BOY
sIGNALED CLEAR TRACK WHEN
1T WAS NOT.
Accident Occurred Just East Of Cum
berland-Express Crashed Into
Two Engines and Caboose.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, January 16.-
Through the alleged interference of a mes
senger boy a wreck was caused on the BAL
timore and Ohio railroad east of Cumber'
land early this morning, in which four EN-
ployes Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
were killed and three injured. Three OF
the men killed lived in Baltimore and tina
fourth was q resident Of Cumberland. Inc
killed are: W. 7. Simms, engineer; W. j
Moran, fireman; H. d. Sneeringer, nremah'
John Butler. engineer. Those injured were:
T. j. Hendricks, conductor, Baltimore,
bruised about the body: w. N. Christopher.
engineer, Baltimore, bruises: - Kinney
conductor, Cumberland.
The wreck was due to the displaying OF
false signal giving clear track for east
bound passenger train No. 10, when IN tne
next block ahead there was standing on the
track a caboose and two engines. The pas
senger train was drawn by two engines,
and these crashed through the caboose and
engines which obstructed the track.
Train Had Not Attained Full Speed.
Luckily the train had not attained its full
speed and was only moving at the rate OF
about twenty miles an hour when the colll-
sion came. The postal car Of the passenger
train was derafled, but the passenger
coaches did not leave the track and their
occupants escaped injury. This Is attribut-
ed to the enormous strength which is pos
sessed by modernly built passenger cars.
1t Is charged that a messenger boy named
Turner who was in the block tower when
No. 10 came along, and hearing the engl-
neers whistle for clear tracks, pulled
lever giving him a clear signal The opera
tor had, 1t Is explained previously set the
signal at danger. While his attention was
being devoted to communicating with the
succeeding block station, the boy, 1t is al
legged, pulled the lever that gave the on
coming train the signal that 1t had clear
block ahead, and the tower operator was
not aware of what was done until the crash
came.
After the wreck the passenger train was
taken back to Cumberland, subsequently
proceeding to Baltimore. The injured were
sent to the hospital in this city.

coNGRATULATING THEMSELVES
Republicans Jubilant Over Prompt
Action on Free Coal Bill.


Action on Free Coal Bill.
The republican senators who are opposed
to changes in the Dingley tariff law are to-
day congratulating themselves that events
in the Senate permitted the removal Of the
duty on anthracite coal without disturbing
other paragraphs OF the law. Some of the
senators who were In pronounced opposition
to removing the duty on anthracite coal de-
clare that they were prompted in their op-
position by their fear that such action could
be taken only in connection with additional
tariff changes.
They point to the statement of Senator
Aldrich, made while the Vest resolution
was under consideration, to the effect that
the duty on anthracite coal was imposed
out of respect to the wishes of Senator Per-
kins Of California, whose purpose was to
prevent coal from British Columbia and
Australia coming into competition with
semi-bituminous coal Of the Pacific coast.
Senator Aldrich stated at that time that
the owners Of the anthracite coal fields in
Pennsylvania said to the committee on
finance that they did not desire any duty on
that product, they were able to compete
with the world and did not need any pro-
lection.
the removal of this duty of 67 cents a ton
on anthracite coal showing less than 90 per
cent of fixed carbon, felt confident that
such proposition would not get through
the Senate without additional provision af-
fecting other lines Of protected industries
This fear had especial relation to meat
products and some other lines of industries
which high protectionists do not believe
should be disturbed by any change of the
tariff duties. They now declare that it
would not have been possible to have taken
the tariff Off anthracite coal except by the
fact that the discussion was developed and
carried on under the peculiar circumstances
that surrounded It, Mr.. Vests resolution
pointing to coal only having been discussed
and demanding attention, then in effect be-
ing taken up by the House with provision
largely similar to that suggested by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts,, the entire atten-
ton of the Senate and Of the country was
concentrated to this single purpose. Before
the House resolution reached the commit
tee on finance republican senator's who had
opposed the Vest resolution were in con-
slant fear, 1t is said, that a general tariff
provision might be introduced into the de-
bate, which they intended to oppose to the
utmost at this time. 1t Is said that these
republicans are now feeling very comfort
able over the fact that all danger of a gen.
eral tariff provision and danger OF any I'M
portant discussion of the tariff revision by
Congress at the present session has passed

The President and Postmaster General,
with the concurrence Of the cabinet, have
reached the conclusion that the mail for
Indfanola, Miss, will continue to go to
GreenvAle, twenty-five miles from Indian
ola, instead Of to Heathman, which Is four
miles from Indiancla- Senator McLaurin
OF Mississippi yesterday had conferences
with the President and Postmaster General
to request that the mali for Indianola be
sent to Heathman instead Of to Greenville
The decision OF the Postmaster General il
based upon the fact that Heathman Is 3
small fourth-class post Office, with total re-
ceipts Of only 81 cents a day and with No
allowance for clerk hire. 1t Is located in a
country store, and there are no facilities
for the handling Of additional mail. To
divert the mail Of Indianola to Heathman
would temporarily change the grade Of the
Heathman offlce and necessitate clerk hire
and many changes which would have to be
unmade on the opening Of the Indianola
office. The administration remains firm In
its attitude that the Indianola office has
been properly conducted: that there Is no
complaint against Mrs. Cox except that she
Is colored. and that the office is there to be
opened when the people see At to give pro-
lection to an official Of the government Of
the United States.

President Castro's Plan to Offset the
Blockade by the Allies.

The State Department has been Informed
that President Castro has directed the open.
ing to commerce without restriction OF the
whole of the boundary between Colombia
and Venezuela. The exact scope OF this
order is not known here. The relations be-
tween Venezuela and Colombia, for several
years very strained, have at times verged
on actual warfare and there has been no
trade across the frontier. 1t is inferred from
the news that Castro is not only willing to
reopen trade in that section, but will even
remit customs dues on imports from Colom-
bia. 1t is likewise inferred that the meas
ure is devised in part to offset the blockade,
which, according to Minister BoWens latest
reports was beginning to cause great suf-
fering among the poor people through the
cutting off of food supplies.
