ENGINEER ESCAPED
WHILE BROTHER DIED.
Were Killed and One Was
Injured,

Quitman, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE South
Georgia and West Coast Railway
had a bad wreck on the bridge over
Little river, twenty miles north of
here, about s o'clock this morning, as
result of which two men are dead, a
third injured and eight cars, and 12O
feet of trestle are demolished.
The dead are Joseph X. Niles, white,
brakeman, and j. B. Dixon. white, fire
man. Engineer j. K. Niles is injurtd
painfully, but not seriously. The
train was a mixed one and cut off the
engine Just north of the river, to work
a side track. The engine with its
crew, and the brakeman, then crossed
the river to work a track on the south
side, the conductor remaining on the
rear part of the train.
The air brakes were left set and the
cars were checked. but the brakes
'bled" off, and the track being Slip
perry from the heavy rain, the cars
began to move. showing the checks be-
fore the wheels. The conductor set
the hand brakes tight, but was unable
to prevent their moving down the
heavy grade to the bridge. About this
time the engine was seen returning,
and every effort was made to stop it,
by signalling, but owing to rain the
curtain in the rear of the cab was
down, and the occupants knew moth
ing of their danger until the crash
came. The caboose of the engine was
completely demolished, the cars tele-
scoping with the tender.
Engineer Niles was thrown clear of
the wreckage and fell about thirty
feet to the ground, escaping with
sprained ankle and some bruises.
The body of Joseph Niles, his brother,
was found pinned against the boiler.
DiXon's body has not yet been found,
but is supposed to be under the wreck
age on the ground below The flag
man was on the fiat car ahead of the
engine and was uninjured. The
coach and three cars in the rear did
not leave the track and passengers
were uninjured, beyond being shaken
up. The engine also remained on the
track. though dismantled, it's safety
plug having blown out when the crash
came. The other cars are lying on
the ground below the track, in all
stages of dilapidation. 1t will be sew
eral days before the track is cleared
and the bridge rebuilt, though
transfer of passengers and mail will be
made and passenger service maintain
ed. No blame can be attached to any
one, unless it be that the men on the
engine did not maintain a proper look
out.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Miners Lost Their Lives at EveIeth,
Mimi.

Duluth, Mimi, Feb. 1.-Two lives
were lost, and ten men had narrow es
capes, as a result of a fire in No. 3
shaft, at the Spruce NINE owned by
the United States Steel Corporation, at
Eveleth, Mimi, to-day. The names of
the dead are: John O'Brien, unmarried,
and William Matthews, married.
The fire was caused by the explosion
of a lantern which was left near the
edge of the shaft on the second level,
$50 feet below the surface. Ninety feet
deeper in the mine, twelve men were
at work in a drift, which was being
put through from No. to No. 1 shaft.
There was no escape for them, except
by way of No. 3, in which the fire was
raging. There was no ventilation for
them, and they were in total darkness,
the lights from their candles being OF
little avail They grouped to the point
where the drift joined the No. l shaft.
When they could no longer see 1re
above they began climbing the ladders.
Ten of the men reached the second
level Two, O'Brien and Matthews,
were overcome when about forty feet
from the point of safety, and fell back
to their death. The firemen fought the
fire by carrying their hose down the
No. l shaft, and through to the point
where the blaze originated. Quick
work in extinguishing the fire saved
the lives of at least ten men. OBrien
and Matthews bodies have not yet
been recovered.

INFLUENCED BY FRAUD.
That VIII be Contention in Fight
for Fair Millions.

Boulder, Colo, Feb. 11.-Charles ].
Smith, half brother of Mrs. Charles
Fair, who, with her husband, was kill
ed in an automobile accident in France,
says that the compromise arranged be-
tween his mother, Mrs. Nelson, and
Mrs. Herman Oelrichs. and Mrs. VAN
derbilt sisters of Charles Fair, in
disposition of the estate of Mr.. Fair,
will be reopened on the ground that
Mrs. Nelson was influenced through
fraud and false representation into ac-
cepting the settlement.
Mr.. Smith asserts that his mother
was very i'll, and in no condition to
transact business when she went to
San Francisco, after her daughters
DEATH and that it was falsely repre-
sented to her that cablegrams had been
received, to the effect that Mrs. Fair
and her husband died at the same
time, whereas it is known, Mr.. Smith
declares, that Mrs. Fair lived thirty
minutes after Mr.. Fair had passed
away.
Mr.. Smith declared that the case
would be fought to the end. Mr.. Smith
promises great surprises to the other
side when afidavits taken from Mrs.
Fairs maid, the chauffeur the gate
keeper, and others living at the house
where Mrs. Fair was taken after the
accident, are made public.

HUMBERTS ARRAIGNED
FOR FIRST TIME.
ThereSe Displayed Usual Bravado
and Goodness, but Her Sister,
Marie, Was Unnerved.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE Humbert family
made their first appearance in the
criminal courts to-day, when the case
OF NJ. Cattaui. the banker. was taken
up in the Ninth Correctional Chamber.
There was great public interest mani
tested in the proceedings and the court
room was packed with people. All the
previous examinations of the Hum
berts had been held in secret. and
this was the first opportunity the
Parlstans had to see and hear the
prisoners.
The Humberts were brought in like
any ordinary prisoners and took seats
in the prisoners box. Nine Therese
Humbert displayed her usual bravado
and GOODNESS, her sister, Marie d'Aurig-
mac was pretty much unnerved, and
the latter's brothers, Roman and
Emily dAurignac, maintained an at
utude of calm defiance.
me case does not involve the main
question concerning the Crawford mil
lions, but NJ. Cattaui's charge that
they libelled him, in referring to him
as usurer, which indirectly affects the
whole affair.
The early stages of the trial to-day
did not produce any sensations. Nine
Humbert gave long, rambling state
ment of her dealings with M Cattaui,
and alleged that his demands for ex-
cessive interest, and her borrowings
from him, amounted to about $500, 00o
When M. Cattaui was heard, and re-
pudiated the charge of usury, Nine.
Humbert sprang from her seat and
asked for the privilege of interrogating
the banker, but the presiding magis-
trate repressed her.
While Frederick Humbert was tes-
flying he sought to incriminate a
number of prominent political person.
ages, including M. Valli the Minister
of Justice, when the Judge stopped
him from bringing in the names of
people who We're not parties to the
case.
Thereupon Nine. Humbert exclaim-
ed: "Other interesting facts will be
disclosed when the main case is
heard"
The judge again stopped NJ. Hum
bert when he asserted that persons
occupying high positions were aware
of the fact that the Humbert family
was in Madrid.

TO GLOSS MlSDEEDS
OF CROWN PRINCESS.
But Louise Has Been Divorced, and
Is Not Excused for Attachment
with Giron.


Dresden, Feb. 1.-THE Crown Prince
of Saxony was to-day granted divorce
from the former Crown Princess Louise,
after several doctors had furnished ex-
pert testimony in the case.
The decree reads: 1.-THE ties of the
marriage of the parties are dissolved
on account of the adultery of the re-
spondent with NJ Giron, teacher of
languages. The blame attaches to the
respondent, who is ordered to pay the
costs of the proceedings"
Although the special court declined
to take into account the contention of
the former Crown Princess lawyers
that she was deranged, this theory is
fully accepted by King George, Crown
Prince Frederick, and the Saxon court,
as the view to be put forth within the
kingdom in future. and that reasons
of state required the separation.
The same reasons also require that
the people shall be brought to believe
that the Princess acted in an unroyal
manner because she was demented.
This legend will be nourished until, so
far as Saxony is concerned. 1T Will be-
come historic truth. The conduct of
the Princess is considered by the mon
archists to be most destructive to re-
spect for the crown. and they claim
that every care must be taken to gloss
over her misdeeds.

lTkL JAMS SWINDLED
INSURANCE COMPANIES.
One of the SwindIers COnfesses and
Tells How the Game Was
Worked.

New York, Feb. 11.-An exposure of
the methods of the conspirators, in
the recently discovered Italian life in
the confession of one of the men con-
cerned.
1t appears that the frauds have been
in operation for ten years, during
which time the insurance companies
have been defrauded of hundreds of
thousands of dollars. In one instance
a company paid out $4,000 on one
fraudulent risk. The head of the
conspiracy, Mr.. Krotel says, was Bar
tolomeo Cirino, who was recently ar
rested and released under $4,000 bail.
Cirino is said to have disappeared, and
his bond will be ordered forfeited.
The usual plan of operations was to
make an application for insurance in
the name of some person in dying
condition, a healthy substitute being
presented for medical examination. In
cases where the original risk fingered
too long to satisfy the conspirators, a
substitute body was used on which to
collect the amount of the policy. These
bodies are said to have been furnish
ed by Joseph Tripan, an Italian I'M
dertaker, who is now awaiting trial
in the Tombs. In some instances false
death certificates were presented, said
to have been signed by Cirino, or by
two italian doctors, who are now I'M
der heavy bail.
So we'll organized was the scheme
that there was a regularly appointed
board of directors that used to meet
every week to discuss the payments
of premiums falling due, and pass on
the matter of the substitution of bo-
gus bodies, in the case of risks" that
did not die until the payment of pre-
miums became too heavy.
