ERIE COLLISION; EIGHT DEATHS
Burning of Wreck Prevents Identifl-
cation of Many Bodies.

hhEhAh& VI WNt7NAA
cation of Many Bodies.
JAMESTOWN, N. Y, April IL
Eight persons are dead and ten in
jured, three of them seriously, as the
result of a collision between a passen-
ger train and a freight train on the
Erie railroad near Red House, n. Y.
OF the dead only one, Robert H..
Hotchkiss of Meadville, a brakeman,
has been identified Seven bodies ap-
parently those Of three men, three wo-
men and a child, were burned beyond
recognition in the fierce fire which fol-
lowed the wreck The women are said
to have boarded the train at Youngs-
town and to have come from Pitts
burg
The wrecked passenger train was
known MS No, 4, running from Chicago
to New York, and was made up Of en-
CINE No 545, in charge of Engineer
Samuel Cook and Fireman Fred Bell
Of Meadville. 1t was derailed by strik-
ing a freight train which was entering
a siding at Red House. The wreck at
once took fire. and the combination
car, two day coaches and two sleepers
together with several freight cars,
were consumed.
The freight was drawn by two en-
gines Some trouble was experienced
in entering the siding, and the fore
most engine of the freight was sent in
along the siding with a flagman to hold
the express. 1t is alleged that the
cause of the accident was that the
operator in the tower, Lawrence Vale,
a boy seventeen years old, saw the
light engine of the freight, which was
bringing up the flag, and supposed the
freight was on the siding behind it.
With this mistaken idea Vale displayed
a white signal toward the passenger
train, indicating to the engineer that
he had clear track. The engineer on
the passenger train failed to see the
hagman sent out from the forward en-
CINE of the freight train and saw only
the clearance signal from the tower.

season played between the Dallas
league team and the Trinity Univers-

ever popular game gave very gener-
al satisfaction and in spite Of the
errors and fumbles few good plays
were made. During the first two
innings 1t looked like Dallas would
wipe up the earth with Trinity, but
in the last half the Dallas boys be-
gan to weaken and Trinity kept the
score keeper busy marking tallsys.
Al the end Of the game the score
stood: Irinity IL. Dallas 8.

ORDINANCE IS DEFECTIVE
Election for Voting Electric Light
Bends Will Not be Held.

From recent developments it APP
on April 7 for the purpose of determ-
lining whether or not Waxahachie
shall issue bonds for the establish
ment aud maintenance of an electric
light plant. The election has been
declared off, for the present at least,
for the reason that the ordinance
under which it was to have been
held was defective.
City Attorney Chapman was seen
this morning by reporter in refer
ence TO the matter and he made the
following statement:
at is fact that the election Will
not be held because of the reason
that the ordinance was not drawn
up to conform to the statutes.
never saw the ordinance until the
night 1t was read before the council
and passed by that body, and con-
sequently do not know who wrote
Il Thara were two or three defects
I'm II which render il of no force. In
the first place 1t did not specify how
long the bonds were to run or how
much interest they should draw. In
other instance the ordinance stated
that the bonds were to be used for
establishing, maintaining and oper-
ating an electric light plant. Bonds
can be issued for the establishment
Of the plant, but not for its opera
tion, this being expressly forbidden
| by the statutes -
Mr.. Chapman said he did not
/ know what further action would
be taken with regard TO the matter
bat supposed ii would come up fol
another hearing before the council
at its next regular meeting.

MRS. JESSIE SOUTHWICK
Will Appear at Trinity Univer.
sity Soon.

The department of oratory of
Trinity University announces the
coming of Mrs. Jessie Eldridge
Southwick, of Emerson College of
Oratory, Boston, Mass, on the
evening of March "a. Mrs.
Southwick is the wife of Mr.. Henry
Lawrence Southwick, president of
Emerson College, the largest school
OF oratory in America.
Mrs. Southwick enjoys the envia-
BILE reputation Of being one of the
finest impersonators in this coun-
try, and Waxahachie, as well as
Trinity University, should feel
proud of so rare an opportunity to
hear this gifted woman. 1t is
through a strong personal friend
ship existing between Miss Randle,
instructor Of oratory at Trinity, and
Mrs. Southwick that the latter was
induced to make a tour of Texas.
In the regular professional en-
gagements of Mrs. Southwick she
never appears for less than $3.50 and
$500 an evening, bat owing to her
personal plans she will appear at
Trinity for a much less amount,
which enables the department of or
| atory to sell tickets for the occasion
at the reduced rates of 50 cents for
reserved seats and 81 cents for gen
eral admission tickets. 1t is hoped
that the Waxahachie people will
avail themselves of the opportunity
TO hear this beautiful interpreter of
human mind and nature, which was
, secured through the untiring efforts
of Miss Randle.
Miss Randle says of her interpre-
tation OF Shakespeare's plays:
Gould Shakespeare hear Mrs.
Southwick on his Macbeth, Hamlet
and other plays, he would exclaim
The dead can live again. -
