The scenes following the explosion will

the train was wrecked. An Erie freight
train west bound broke in two on the hill

forward part of the train released of all the
weight of the cars behind. sprang forward
with increased speed. Brakes were applied.
and the front portion of the train was

gathering momentum as they came down
the hill, crashed into the forward part of
the train. Most of the cars in the train
were tank cars filled with refined oil or
gasoline. They weighed thousands of tons
and the impact was terrific.
One of the tank cars caught fire soon
after the collision. The exact cause of the
fire Is not known. but IL is supposed to have
started from spark struck from the grind
ing pieces of iron in the wreckage. In
few minutes another car Of gasoline caught
fire and burst in flames with a terrific re-
port. Portions of the iron dome of the cars
were hurled a distance OF several hundred
feet. The flames shot high In the air. pre-
senting a brilliant spectacle. In this early
accident. so far as can be learned, no one
was injured.
A large crowd quickly gathered. Hun
dreds OF people from Olean, North Olean
and the surrounding country gathered to
watch the brilliant play of flames. For two
hours the people stood massed together
and as the heat became less intense the
crowd began to edge little closer TO the
wreckage, until about II o'clock some ven-
turesome boys approached to within a few
hundred feet of the burning debris. Sud-
denly there was a terrific explosion. Great
masses Of white flames, shot hundreds Of

particular occasion. The witness said that
Mr.. Sachs extended the invitation 10 go

yers, that while you three were in the
cafe Colonel Jewett called you out and
talked to you a while, and that you then
or four drinks and then said you had 10 go

tion and did not deny the more prominent
features OF the query. AT one point In the
testimony of Judge Utz Judge Anderson
took the witness in hand and questioned
him at length. 'If ycu had known. said
Judge Anderson. that Colonel Jewett went
to Chicago to see Riarson & Son to have
them bring suit against his client in or
der TO have receiver appointed would you
have assumed jurisdiction in this case?'
The witness replied that he would not have
acted in the case had he known there was
anything wrong whatever. Judge Ander-
son put several other very earnest queS-
tions to the witness, and finally Mr.. Miller,
while not exactly objecting to the court
attitude. expressed his views in manner
that slightly nettled Judge Anderson:
That may be possible, Mr.. Miller said
he, but the court will pursue this invesu-
cation as far as he sees fit." Mr.. Miller
had no further observations TO make. IF

H. z. JEWETT TESTIFIES.
Henry E. Jewett was on the stand again
yesterday and corroborated the testimony
of Frederick Connor that 5000 of the as
sets of the insolvent firm had been retained
by him and his brother as attorney fees.
that $54S of 1t had afterward been returned
to Frederick Connor as receiver. He
stated that he had not known that $500
had been paid out of the assets of the in
solvent firm of M. Zier & Co. to Riarson &
Son. He told of a meeting of the cred
itors of NJ. Zier e. Co. that was held in
the Floyd Circuit Court room at New AL
bany, with Judge Utz presiding. He said
Gently been paid TO Minnie Zier and others

this meeting.
Col. Charles L. Jewett was another wit
ness yesterday. He corroborated much OF
his brothers testimony. While in Chicago
he went to see Riarson & Son, creditors
of M. Zier & Co., and IL was agreed with
the consent of Michael Zier that Riarson
& Son should bring friendly suit against
NJ. Zier & Co. for a receiver. The COM
pany owed Riarson & Son at that time
about $4,000 In the course of his testi-
mony Colonel Jewett was informed by

Among the most daring feats at
tempted by modern photographers are
those performed by the camera experts
who carry their apparatus to the sum
nit of the highest peaks of the Alps
The following incident is one of the
many thrilling ones related: 1--WE were
somewhat troubled by the rising wind,
which blew strongly across the crags,
and our route lay up striking looking
chimney on the exposed side of the
ridge The rest Of the party decided to
lower the writer over the ovcrhanging
wall of rock on our right, to gain some
lodges where a photograph could be
taken of the ascent of the chimney.
Being lowered over an ordinary cliff
in search of birds nests with proper
apparatus is child's play compared
with such lowering as | endured that
day. In the first place, an Alpine rope
is too thin for such work, for one felt
almost cut in half before the full strain
came on the rope, and absolutely con-
Yinced that those above could not have
sufficient hold to manipulate the rope
in such wind. However the painful
dangling was soon over. and a simple
scramble up some broken rocks led 10
a capacious recess which would accom-
modate the camera"

TRICKS OF CHINESE SERVANTS.
Signals of the Discharged to Warn
Their Successors,

1t is not an uncommon thing to hear
people in the East say that they are
still in want OF Chinese cook, while
others will have numbers of applica-
tions directly it is known that their
cook has left. The reason for this is
easily discovered If the master of the
house walks down to the kitchen after
his cook has been discharged and takes
notice how saucepan which will be
found standing ON the ground, is
placed. Chinese servants, particularly
those from Singapore, when dis
charged, leave signs which the new
conner looks for Immediately he enters
the kitchen. If the place Is considered
a good one, a saucepan will be left on
the ground with the lid put on proper
ly If the lid is placed in the saucepan
upside down, that is to say, with the
handle of the lid inside the saucepan
it means that the servant has gone
away for short time only and that as
soon as he con he intends to return, as
the situation is considered good one.
If the lid OF the saucepan is left out on
the ground, near the saucepan, which
is standing the right way up, 1T means
the house is in want of servants. If
the lid is put half way in and half out
of the saucepan, it means that the place
is good one, but the master of the
house is stingy. Should the saucepan
have still some rice in it and the lid
closed properly, it means that the SER
want is quite satisfied with everything
concerning the people of the house, but
that he is forced to leave on account
of debts or other reasons which incon-
venience him. If the master is in the
habit of cutting a servants pay for
broken or lost articles, or for other
faults, n mark is made on the bottom
OF the saucepan in chalk which will not
rub out easily

QUEER PEOPLE.
LoIos Have Custom Entirely Differ
ent from Chinese.

Writing of the Lolos of Chinese Turk
estan, the Rev. w. NJ. Upcraft says:
"The men wear loose blouse and wide
short trousers, made of blue cotton
cloth, over which stout plated felt
cloak is thrown, which reaches from
the neck to the knees, and is useful by
day in cold or wet weather and at
night forms an ample covering. AS
far as l remember, they wear long
trousers, too. One peculiar feature is
the manner of dressing the hair. In
stead of wearing a queue in the way
adopted by the Chinese, the Lolos al
low the hair to grow long in the front,
then broad it into kind of horn above
the forehead, so that it becomes the
most conspicuous object about them.
The women folk wear short jacket
often finely embroidered, over q plated
skirt, not unlike a Scotch kilt. Their
feet and ankles are bare-a fine con-
trast to the cramped, deformed feet of
the Chinese women" They have we'll
formed figures and even features. The
ease with which they go about their
work attracts the attention and wins
the admiration of the traveller.
