TERRIBLE DISASTER
ON. B & 0. RAILROAD
Seventy Persons Killed and Many In
jured-Train Ran Into Bridge
Lumber.

CONNELSNLLE. Pa. Dec. "a
The latest estimate of the number of
deaths in the Baltimore and Ohio
wreck at Laurel Run last night places
the number at 10. only 30 being iden
titled.
The DuQuesne limited train left Pitts
burg yesterday evening, running few
| minutes late, in charge CT Engineer
William THORNLEY, of COnnellsville.
When approaching Laurel Run. which
| is a particularly good piece of roadbed.
the train was running at a high rate
| of speed.
Suddenly the passengers were thrown
from the seats by the lightning like
| application of the air brakes and Il
moment later there was a terrific
rash. The train At that time was car
rying 1T the lowest estimate $50 pas
sengers.
The train ploWed along for con-
siderable distance and the cars We're
| torn 10 pieces. the passengers jumping
| .creaming and falling from the wreck
-werved to the left and the coaches
| plunged down over an embanfment to
| the edge of the Youghogheny river.
The moment the cars stopped rolling
| there was wild scene. Many per
sons were pinioned beneath the wreck
age and the screams and cries that
rent the air were beyond description.
Many were injured in their mad ex-
citement and plunged into the river
Others. pinioned beneath the heavy
timbers. pleaded in agonized tones for
release.
So terrific was the force of the wreck
that nearly every passenger suffered
A moments unconsciousness. and many
abled bodied men We're unable to as
sist in helping the injured from the
wreck on account of having tainted.
The killed We're mostly foreigners
who were in the smoking car just back
of the baggage car They were liter
ally roasted to death. The baggage
and smoker telescoped the engine and
Immediately caught fire.
A peculiar feature Oh the dt'luctII 10
the fact that not a woman was ser
iously injured. The wreck was caus-
ed by the breaking of castings on a
carload of bridge timbers on the west
bound freight train which had passed
Laurel Run not more than 10 MN
utes before the wreck occurred on the
curve.
Many of the victims will never be
identified as they are burned beyond
recognition. The injured are being at
tended to by a score of doctors from
nearby points. Business at Conneils-
vile is entirely suspended.
At noon it was ascertained that there
were 6S deaths with three in the nos
pitfalls. Of these fifty-three have been
identified. They were fewer foreigners
in the wreck than at first supposed.
The foreigners killed were bound for
Europe.

United States in the recognition of
Panama and i'll preventing any attempt
at coercion of the new republic by
Colombia:
By the treaty of 1916 the United
States did not acquire control over
interoceanic transit. but entered into
Obligations by which, for compensatory
favors. it guaranteed the neutrality,
property and sovereignty of the 18TH
mus, the sovereignty being indivisibe.
IF the United States government
prevents the government of Colombia
! from subduing the rebels, then it ought
to submit them to Colombian author
ity.
The United States has never pro-
tected Colombia from foreign invas
ions. Whenever that government has
inteTfered to prevent the interruption
Of traffic il has been because Of the
rights granted or on Colombia's re-
quest only. Only in this instance has
ii interfered on its own initiative, with
the evident object of protecting the Sc
cessionsts on the isthnus.
If the guarantee Of neutrality were
to be looked upon as a privilege, it
would prevent the sovereign govern
ment from keeping order on the 18TH
mus which is against the principles
OF all governments.
The protocols Cf 1897 did not grant
any new rights to the United States.
much less the rights dominating this
territory.
The HayHerran canal treaty did
not modify the obligation which the
United States contracted by the treaty
If 1916 to guarantee the neutrality,
sovereignty and property Of the 18th
mus. When this treaty was disap-
proved no new propositions were made
Tho orders given by the United
States government to its navy help
Cd TO favor the secession movement,
and Colombia was at peace when this
government was begun.
The conduct Of the Washington
executive has been and now is favor
able in every way to the rebellion but
not to the maintenance of order, which
is contrary to the United States gov
ernment and to the policy established
| by it during the American war Of Sc
| cessiOn.
