TRAIN CREW SAVES
OFFICER FROM MOB
Foster, Pa, Citizens Try to
Lynch Detective Who Has
Evidence of Their Thefts.

SCRANTON, Pa, July 26.-An at
tempt to lynch John Peel, a Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western company de-
tective, was made last night at Fos-
ter by a crowd of the villagers who
were infuriated upon learning that he
had gained evidence which would con-
meet score of the families of the vii
lage with wholesale thievery of brass
and other junk from the companys
property.
Peel was attacked at hotel while
waiting for a train. When the mob
made its attack with cries of lynch
him. the detective drew his revolver
and began pulling the trigger, but there
was something wrong with the mechan-
ism of the hammer and the cartridges
were not exploded
Peel gained the waiting room and
locked himself in. Word was tele-
graphed to this city and a force Of
twenty five officers was hastily re-
cruited to be sent to the detectives
rescue. In the meantime a passenger
train arrived and the crew, acting un-
der telegraphic, orders from this city,
quit the the train and after hard
fight succeeded in getting the detective
on the train.
The ring leader of the mob is said to
be one of the leading citizens of the
town.

DOG FAILS TO SAVE
DROWNING MASTER
Unknown Man, Believed to Be
From St. Paul, Is Drowned
in Lake Near Saltwater.

SALTWATER, Mimi, July 26.-De-
lirious as the result of drinking, we'll
dressed stranger waded out into Lily
lake this morning and lost his life.
Whether the man sought to destroy
himself or was drowned by accident in
a drunken freak cannot be determined.
The body has not been recovered. In
the water with the man at the time of
his death was a little dog. The animal
attracted attention to the drowning
man by his cries and swan about for
seme time after the man disappeared.
The animal is not known to any of the
residents in the neighborhood of the
lake.
The man appeared first in the out
skirts of Saltwater yesterday morning
early. He was well dressed when he
stopped at a dance house and asked
to be allowed to lie down. He wore
dark clothing and showed some jewelry
and money. He was about forty years
of age, of middle height, fair complex
ion, had light mustache and his man
ner and conversation indicated a per-
son of refinement. He had been drink
ing and when aroused by one of the
attendants and told that the place was
about to close he bought a bottle of
beer and went away.
Twenty -four hours later he turned
up at the same place. He was in a bad
way from drink and his language was
lncoherent. He had no coat or vest
and his clothing gave evidence that
he had been lying on the ground. AL
though he had changed a bill on his
first appearance at the place he had
no money on his return, at least he
showed none. The stranger left the
dance house and wandered off in the
direction of Lily lake.
Some hours later he was seen near
the w. e. Cooke place and later near
the Markey ice house. About o'clock
word was sent to Policeman McNaugh-
ton that a man had been seen in the
rushes on the border of the lake and
he went to look for him. While stand
Ing on the shore the policeman's at
tention was attracted by the barking
of dog in the water and he saw a
man swimming and encouraging the
dog to swim with him. At the instant
that McNaughton looked the man
threw up his hands and disappeared
beneath the surface. He was not seen
again.
The dog swan about for some time.
crying as though in distress, then swan
ashore and was lost sight Of
Men have worked with graphing

who would identify him

soon as he could move he crawled to
the safe and refused to move to have
his wounds attended to until relieved
from his post
BY fortunate occurrence, there
were two doctors on board the train,
and, although both were hurt, they lost
no time in rendering all the assistance
in their power.
DR.. M. L. Goodkind, of Chicago, was
in the compartment car, and sustained
bad cut on the side of his head, and
a very severe bruise on his left shoul-
der.
DR.. Hammond, surgeon who served
in the British army in the late Boer
war; was with DR.. Goodkind, and es-
capped with slight injuries.
These two doctors were assisted by
DR.. Thinsen, of Hayfield, and DR.. Ran
som. of Dodge Center, and relief train

Sensational Story Comes From
Vienna That Servian King Is
Plotting to Add Bulgaria to
His Kingdom.


VIENNA, July 26.-The Universal
Bucharest publishes a sensational story
of plot to bring about a union of
Servia and Bulgaria., which involves
the deposition of Prince Ferdinand and
the substitution of the Kara George
witch dynasty and which would also,
according to the story, incidentally re-
suit in the settlement of the Macedo-
nian question.
According to the report a secret
meeting was recently held. at Belgrade
Of Bulgarian parliamentarians, proini-
nent Servians and Macedonians, at
which the details Of the scheme were
agreed upon. They are said to include
a military convention and customs
union. The plotters. also are said to
have resolved to carry out their pro-
granme, if possible, by legal means,
including vote of the Bulgarian par
lament.
The plotters are said to have ar
gued that such a united kingdom could
overthrow Turkey, and the Macedo-
nian troubles and guarantee a greater
future both for Servia and Bulgaria.
The story is discredited here, being
regarded as fantastical.

When No. 1. the Great Western Lin
tied, left Chicago it was in two sec
tions, the first section being three
hours ahead of the second Orders
were sent on to the freight train that
left st. Paul at 10 o'clock on Saturday
night that the second section would
follow No. / three hours later.
1t is supposed that the orders were
board the freight that the limited was
three hours late. E. Clement, of st.
Paul, was the conductor of the freight
train.
AT Vlasaty, station four miles
south of Dodge Center and five miles
from Hayfield, there was heavy fog
and the first section of the limited and
the freight came together when run
ming at their ordinary speed.
Both engines were. badly smashed,
but held the rails. The baggage car,

nected with grain elevator, while the
buffet car that came next was telescop-

Behind the buffet car came the COM

off. 1t was SO heavily built, however,
that it was able to Withstand the shock
and remain on the rails, thereby keep

Fireman E. j. Hickey, of the passen-

was severely scalded about the back
and badly crushed. The fireman Of the
freight train, William Keene, living at
48 West Isabel street, ST Paul, was
thrown out between the engine and the
tank and was caught by his feet. He
released himself and fell to the ground,
escaping with some cuts about the
head and the fracture of small bone
in his right leg.
The colored attendant of the buffet

DIR. GOODKIND GIVES
A GRAPHIC ACCOUNT

"The first thing 1 knew of the
wreck" said DR.. M. l.. Goodkind, OF
Chicago, who was in the compartment
car on his way to st. Paul to visit his
relatives, was when l was awakened
with violent jolt and thrown against
the wall and out of my berth. / realized
instantly that the train was wrecked,
and as soon as l was able to move
seized part of my clothing and looked
out of the window frame, the glass in
which was shattered by the shock. 1
instinctively prepared my mind for
horrible sight but was scarcely pre-
pared. for that which met my view
when looked out of the car window.
Beside the track was a mangled
form of man who had been thrown,
as from a catapult. from the engine.
He was lying motionless in a heap.
Looking forward the full extent of the
disaster became apparent.
1.-The roof of the compartment car
was completely lifted from the walls
and the front end was battered down.
The buffet car, Immediately in front OF
the compartment car, was telescoped
and part of the baggage car in front
of the buffet car was inside its bulg1ng
walls The roof of the buffet car was
standing upwards, and part of the bag
gage car had been thrown from the
track against building which was
standing within few feet of the
track The building, which was of one
story, was lifted from its foundation
and thrown to the ground.
"The two engines were mass of
iron. Broken beams and torn and rent
fragments were piled about in con-
fusion. The engines were SO completely
crushed together that it was impossible
for me to distinguish the remains OF
one from those of the other.
1T is impossible to describe in words
the appearance of the shattered en-
gines and cars. Nor is it possible to
convey an idea of the impression re-
ceiyed by viewing such a tremendous
disaster So moved was | with the hor-
ror of the sight that never thought of
the miraculous escape which [ had had.
after viewing the sight and realiz-
ing that l was unharmed my first i'm
pulse was to render aid to the injured
and dying.

PANAMA, Colombia, July 26.-Not
since the days of the last revolution,
when an attack upon the city by the
Liberals was feared, has there been
such a panic in Panama as occurred
last night. Shortly after 8 o'clock the
Office of Ell Lapiz, the organ of the
Liberal party on the isthmus, was Wis
tied by officers of the general staff of
the army, who destroyed yesterdays
edition of the newspaper. One of the
directors was slightly wounded but
managed to escape.
AS the Office of the newspaper is sit
uated in a very populous district. the
news spread rapidly. In the Santa
Anas neighborhood, where most of the
Liberals reside, sentiment rose to a
high pitch and few of the prominent
people counseled retaliation. They took
no action. however.
Cobos Seizes Control.
The next event came like bomb
shell. A company of soldiers, appar-
emily under the orders of Gen. Vas
quez Cobos, commander Of the national
forces, surrounded the residence of Gov.
Nuts, but the governor and his wife,
who is an American woman, having
been warned a few minutes before the
arrival of the troops, succeeded in es-
Gaping. Gen. Huertas, commander Of
the battalion of Colombia, when he
learned Of the Ell Lapiz incident, re-
paired to headquarters, where be found
Gen. Cobos. According to current re-
ports the latter ordered Gen. Huertas
to remain in quarters. Exactly what
has taken place is unknown, but it is
said that DR.. Aristides Arizona, seere-
tary Of the government; Fernando
Arrange, chief of police, and Etraim
Navia, member of the departmental
superior tribunal Of justice, are under
arrest, the last named for trying to
argue with Gen. Cobos the illegality Of
his action.
An attempt also is said to have been
made to arrest Senor Guerra, secretary
of finance, but he refused to accompa-
ny the officer who went to his house
to arrest him, and when the officer
returned with soldiers to effect his
capture, Guerra had departed. The
