DOWN GRADE AT SIXTY MILES AN HOUR.
According to statements by officials OF the
Pere Marquette Railroad the westbound traiD
was travelling down grade at the rate OF sixty
miles an hour The eastbound train was climb
ing the hill at speed Of forty miles an hour.
The former carried probably seventy-hve passen-
gers while the latter is believed TO have been
carrying at least 125 persons. The two trains
came together at about the middle of a long.
sweeping curve. three-quarters of mile west of
East Paris. On the inner side OF the curve is a
high embankment, preventing view OF the
track ahead.
When the engines met, one turned completely
and lay with its in direction oppo-
site to that in which IL had been travelling. The
other climbed the wreckage of the first; its boiler
torn from the trucks, standing erect In the cen
tire of the debris.
General Superintendent Smith saw Booth. the
operator at McCords. last night, and said to-
day: Il have no reason to doubt the statement
Of Booth that his light was burning two min
utes before No. 3 passed McCords and that the
wind eXtingushed 1t. He is old operator. and
has been in the employ OF the road several
years"
Superintendent Smith said further: This is
the first wreck in which the Pere Marquette ever
killed passenger its own train. The road
has killed passengers on other trains-persons at
crossings, and employes-but never before has 1t
killed outright or fatally injured passenger On
it's own

all week and take part in the conferences that are
to be held. 1t said yesterday that he will be
reelected chairman of the State Committee and

moment are anticipated Immediately in the State
organization.
The question OF delegates at large to the national
convention will come up. Senators Platt and De-
pew and Governor Odell will be three of the four
delegates at large Colonel Dunn will probably be
the fourth although Timothy L. Woodruff,
Governor Black and others are mentioned in con-

goes to the western end of the State this Ellis
worth will get the nomination.
