over the remains Of Emma Booth

in America, were held this afternoon in

they might file past the catafalque and
look upon the face Of the dead Saliva
Zionist. The services which We're COM
Quoted by Colonel 3. J. Higgins. chief
secretary of the Salvation Army in
America, were most impressive. The
grief of Commander Booth Tucker
was most poignant, and, as he knelt by
the bier sobbing pathetically. the great
er part Of the vast congregation wept
with him.
General Ballington Booth of the Vol
unteers of America, who seeded from
| the Salvation Army owing to differ
ences with his father, had endeavored
| to arrange for family gathering and
short private services before the public
/ funeral took place. General Booth ar

hour ahead of time and waited for the
Eexpected family gathering, but learn

saying that he did not care to stay for
| the public demonstration.
Herbert Booth. his brother, who is
also out Of the army owing to mis-
understanding with his father, at the
request Of the general, remained to rep.
resent the family. Herbert Booth twice
asked permission from Commander

to address the audience, rendered &
prayer at the close Of the services
! Cablegrams were read from Genera

Il MIGHTY EXPLOSION.
One Of the Most Disastrous In the rsia-y
tory Of Raiiroading.

Crestline, O., Nov. 1.--One OF the
most disastrous explosions ever known
in railroad occurred here tonight at s.
o'clock when car containing dynamite
exploded from supposed collision or
lar with another car and let go with
immense force, Immediately setting fire
to every car within a radius of a quar-
ter Of a mile and they n turn starting
a blaze to adjoining cars. until at IL
O. clock it is said that at lease 500 load-
ed and empty freight cars are burning.
The explosions occurred at the west end
of the immense Pennsylvania yards in
this city and about two miles from the
city proper. A hole forty feet deep
was blown in the ground and the track
wrenched into all kinds of shapes for a
long distance.
The shock of the explosion was so ter
rife that it smashed thousands of vim
! dows. both plate and pane and made:
many people sick because of the concus-
sion. Railroad ties were blown a quar-
ter of a mile.
The destruction is SO complete and so
great that it is impossible to say any
thing Of the property damage.
Hundreds of Pennsylvania employees
are at work searching the ruins for the
dead or injured. The entire west yards
| of the road is wreck. Officials of the
railroad have said that there are not
less than $50 cars smashed. Engines at
work mile away were thrown from
| the track. In the downtown portion
Eof the city there is not a building that
has not suffered considerable damage.
Many persons who were on the streets
were cut and otherwise hurt by flying
glass, and hundreds Of women are in q
serious condition from shock and con-
Ecussion. All the physicians of the city
are at the scene of the wreck to assist
lthose who may be found injured.

HANGING FROM LEDGE
FRANK r. JOHNSON RESCUED
FROM PERILoUs SITUATION.

Over 200 Foot Precipics Lying Par
TALLY on Two Foot Ledge at East
4 Rock-One Arm aud Shred of Goat His
Only Hold for over Twelve Hours
How He Got There Is Mystery.
Hanging by one arm and shred of
his coat over two hundred foot preci-
pice at East Rock Park, for twelve
hours. Frank r, Johnson, manager Of
the Tide Water Trap Rock company Of
East Haven was discovered yesterday
morning BY a person who was riding
down the rock on a bicycle.
Captain Brewer of the Grand avenue
station received telephone message at
8 o'clock notifying him Of this state OF
affairs. The informant did not tell his
name
He said he was riding down the rock
on his bicycle when in turning the
horseshoe bend he found the partial re-
mains of broken bicycle strewn in the
road and on the wall. One of the
wheels and the chain, also part of
the frame, were in the road, while the
other wheel was upon the top OF the
stone wall. He went to the wall and
looked down and saw a man lying on
a ledge of rock, about ten feet below the
driveway.
Patrolman John B. Roach and Driver
Grady were sent to the scene in the
patrol wagon. In eight minutes time
after the start the wagon was at the
scene, which establishes the record for
this run.
The officers climbed down as near
to the man as they could and although
they risked being hurled to the bottom,
over two hundred feet below, they de-
cided the only way the man could be
saved was by forming a human line.
| This they did, one Of them leaning far
over the ledge and by hanging down
ward, being held by the other officer,
was able to grasp the man and draw
him to safety.
| He seemed to be in a sort Of comatose
state and simply mumbled a few SEN
/ tences. He was taken to the station
house, where Or. Moore attended him.
The only thing which the doctor could
find the matter with him was a slight
bruise just below the hip.
Johnson said: AT 9 o'clock last
evening started to ride down the rock
on my bicycle. From that time until
my arrival at the station house can
not remember one thing about it, He
i stoutly denied that he had any inten-
/ tion of committing suicide and said
that he could not account for the wheel
on the wall. neither could he tell
i if he had been thrown off his wheel and
over the wall, how it was that he had
stayed on the ledge just below and
not bounded off.
His foreman, John Hall, was sent fot
and took him to the house in which
they live in East Haven.
/ The ledge over which Mr.. johnson
went is the same which Edward Ford
the Yale junior, fell from and was kill
ed last February.

WILL ACT Congress Will Do Something
 for Alaska

Walter F. Clark, the Washington . city correspondent for the Post-Inteli- . gencer, wires that paper as follows:
 The members of the committee that visited Alaska last summer, did not see all there was to see or learn all there was to learn, but they saw and heard enough to make them enthusiastic friends of the territory These sena- tors will make @ long report Co the full committee and some measure or meas ures of legislation will, as a result, un- doubtedly be reported to the senate from the full committee on territories.
 Senator Nelson, Of Minnesota, is one of those who s deeply interested in se- curing wise legislation for Alaska. The only difference of opinion between him and his colleagues is as t9 what is wise. Not all the members ot the territories committee, by any means, are in favor Of a territorial form of government for Alaska Some of them are. All Of them believe Alaska should have a del- egate in the national house Of represen- tatives.
 It s almost a safe prediction, from present appearances, to say that the senate will pass bin al- lowing Alaska a delegate in con- gress and probably the house will follow suit. In fact. it is possible that the measure will originate in the house-which might be regarded as more appropriate from the fact that the proposed measure affects the meme bership of that body and not that of the senate.
