DUE TO AN OPEN SWITCH.
PENNSYLVANIA Train Wrecked at Van.
Vert, O.-Engineer Killed
Fifteen Injured.

Van Vert, O., Aug. 15.-Fifteen min
utes late and running at the rate Of is,
miles an hour, the limited New York ex-
press on the Pennsylvania road ran into.
an open switch at the Burt street Cross
ing late Friday afternoon. The engineer
was instantly killed, the fireman fatally
injured, while IA others were more or
less seriously injured.
The dead man is Charles B. Eaton. of
Fort Wayne, crushed beneath his en-
CINE.
The train consisted of a mail car,
baggage car, combination express and
baggage car, two day coaches and a,
dining car, in addition to three Pullman
coaches. When the engine entered the
switch it first struck a fiat car, going
clear over it. The first mail car in turn
climbed over the engine and was fol-
lowed by the other three cars, all Of
which were reduced to kindling wood.
The rear cars remained upon the track.
1t is presumed that Engineer Eaton saw
the open switch, as the steam was af-
forwards found shut off in his engine
and the sand had been applied. All the
injured were removed to their homes
on various trains. 1t is not definitely
known how the switch came to be OPEN,

chants bank, of Duluth, which closed
its doors after Fridays business.

was due to a run on the bank result
ing from the closing of the CONNER
cial Banking company's Institution.
He said that he could not anticipate
the extent of the Withdrawals, and
closed to protect all depositors as

FORAKER ACT SUSTAINED.
Decision Aftrn1s Constitutionality OF
Revenue Tax on Goods Inn
ported from Porto Rico.

New York, Aug. 15.-Judge Ray in
the United States circuit court Friday
handed down an opinion sustaining the
,onstitutionality of the Foraker act,
which provided a new revenue tax on
merchandise brought into the United
States from Porto Rico, after the island
ceased to be a foreign country. The de-
cision sustained a demurrer ~interposed,
by the United States in action COM
menced against it by the sugar importing:
firm of Lascelles & Co.. of New York.
The firm imported a cargo of sugarfrom,
Porto Rico on June u, 1899, which was;
placed on it's arrival in a bonded ware
house. The entry was l%iquidated Mo-
vember IA, 1899, under the existing
Dingley tariff act. On June 6 the entry
was reliquidated and duties reassessed
under the Foraker act. The firm pro-
tested against the imposition of any and
all duties. Finally, under protest, $500
duty was paid and suit for its recovery
instituted. The government demurred.
under the so-called Foraker act and
Judge Ray sustained the demurrer. The
real question at issue and one not
previously raised was that portion Of
the Foraker act which provided for the
assessing of merchandise at bonded
warehouses at the time the newlaw went
into effect.

A VENERABLE FIRE ENGINE.
One of the Model Of 1900 is Preserved
at LAFAYETTE, Ind.

II read recently of an old hand fire
engine in Alexandra, Va. as having been
presented to the city and operated by
George Washington. We have one of
practically the same type in Lafayette,
though. of course. it is not so old as the
engine used by the father of his country"
said T. A. Oeram of the Indiana town to
a Star man at the Arlington. Fortunate
ly this old engine in Lafayette was saved
from a scrap pile recently. 1t is of the
pair that today 1t could be worked should
the occasion require. Back in the SOS
the names of the best citizens of the COM
munity were found upon the rolls of the
company that used to fight fires with the
ancient engine Horses were not used in
those days, and the machine was pulled by
hand. Arriving at a fire the men would
drop a suction hose into a well or cistern
to draw the water, and then they would
pump by hand as hard as they could go.
The highest speed Of the engine was the
throwing of one hundred gallons per min
ute, while modern engines throw as much
as fifteen hundred or two thousand gallons
a minute.
Our old engine is made of handsome
mahogany, is inlaid and the wood work is
in an excellent state of preservation.
There are probably few like 1t in the coun-
try. 1t was last in service in 1859, and
few Of the old members of the company
are now living. Those few propose to
have a celebration of the fixing up of
the old machine
