pontiff's extreme weakness, the doc

SARTO ELECTED PONTIFF
Choice of College of Cardinals Falls on the
Patriarch of Venice-Leo's Successor
Assumes Title of Plus K.

Rome, Aug. 5.-The conclave after be-
ing in session for four days, on Tuesday
elected Giuseppe Sarto, patriarch of Ven
ice, as pope to succeed Leo Kill, and he
now reigns at the vatican and over the
Catholic world as Plus x. At night all
Rome was Illuminated in his honor.
His election and the assumption of his
holy Office were marked by striking
demonstration and impressive cere-
monies at the vatican, which only end
ed in the evening.
The election of the patriarch of Ven
ice was unanimous. After Mondays
ballot it was foregone conclusion that
he was the only candidate sufficiently
acceptable to all to secure the necessary
two-thirds, which the laws of the church
require. One of the cardinals said that
he believed Plus x. would follow the
broad lines of Leo's policy, although not
likely to accentuate it. This voices the
general feeling here, which is one of
satisfaction.

SKETCH OF THE NEW POPE.

The Successor Of Leo XIII. Said to BE
. Man Of Liberal Views.
Giuseppe Sarto, the new pope. was
born in Resi-, diocese of Treviso. north
ern Italy, June 2, 1885. and was created
cardinal by Leo XIII. at the consistory
of June IL, 1893, receiving the title of 8.
Bernardo dele Terma He is also
patriarch of Venice since June, 1893, and
bishop of Mantua. He belongs to the &C.
clesiastical congregations of bishops
and regulars, sacred rites. indulgences
and sacred relics.
Pope Plus x. is very learned in the &C.
clesiastical doctrines. is modest, ener-
getic, a good administrator and Or
ganizer, a patron of the arts and his ssri-
BUSINESS always has been proverbial.
Early in April Pope Leo, in CONVEX
sation with Father Perosi, the Italian
composer, said in speaking of Cardinal
Sarto:
Hold him very dear, Perosi, as in the
future he will be able to do much for
you. We firmly believe he will be our
successor"
He has been known for many years as
;; one of the greatest preachers in the
church.
Plus x. enjoyed great popularity in
his diocese, and was honored by all for
his purity. for the strict uprightness of
his life and for liberal ideas. He is q
modest and agreeable man, highly cul-
, tivated, kind-hearted. still strong and
robust in spite of his 6S years. He has
never taken much part in the political
and public life of the church, but has
divided his time between study and good
works.
Although most faithful to the holy
see, he was presented to the king and
queen of Italy in Venice. He may be
considered among the more liberal
members of the Italian episcopate and
sacred college. He is rather timid in
expressing an opinion. 1t is said that
Leo XIII. always thought very highly
of him and sided with him on one &C.
casion when Sarto disapproved of Ram
polla's policy.

Leo always showed when going into
st. Peters to have the eyes of great
crowd focused on him. 1t is almost

New Pope Dlesses People.
Standing forward in the window, the
others having fallen back, he deliber-
ately controlled himself and looked
across the great basilica. Crossing
himself, Sarto raised his hand and n
a voice palpably tremulous. he said, As
soon as the cries from below gave an
opportunity:
"Ajutorium nostrum in nomine
Domini."
To this came in reply from thou
sands of voices the cry:
"Qui fecit coelum ct terrain"
In thrilling voice the pope re-
sponded:
'Sit nomen Domini benedictum."
Then, raising himself to his full
height, and leaning forward as much
as possible, he intoned:
"Benedicat vos omnipotens Deus,
in nomine Patri, ct Fill, ct Spiritus
Sancti." which called forth such ap-
plause that several minutes elapsed

operating on the injured and dressing
their wounds in the temporary hos
pital. Four of the injured died at the
hospital before $3.50 o'clock. When
the wrecking train crews had finished
pulling TO pieces the tangled and
broken cars, IL dead men were lying
on the grass, awaiting removal to the

Killed while asleep. The circus per-
formers were on the rear of the NOV

Brothers say that their loss will be
very heavy, but have given no esti-
mate Of it as yet. This is the second
wreck that the Wallace shows have
suffered within a month.
Engineer Brobst, Fireman Golfer and
Head Brakeman Benedict, who was also
on the engine of the second section, all
agree that if the brakes had worked as
they ought to have when the engineer
tried to use them there would have been
no collision.
Firman Golfer and Brakeman Ben
edict, when they saw that a collision
could not be averted, jumped. Engineer
Bropst remained at his post vainly try
ing to get the brakes to work, until his
train was within less than hundred
feet of train No. 1. Then he, too,
jumped, when he was within but very
few seconds of sure death in the crash.
He was, of course, shaken up, as was
the fireman and brakeman, but not
badly. None of the crews of either train
was hurt. At the time the crash oc-
Cured train No. 2 was running probably
Is miles an hour.
General Manager F. H. McGuigan, Of
the Grand Trunk system, was on his
way from Chicago to Montreal, and ar
rived on the scene on a passenger train
at seven a. m. He Immediately took
charge of the work of clearing the wreck
and caring for the injured and dead.
Wagons Used for Ambulances.
All the available drays and express
wagons in the vicinity were used for
ambulances and for several hours after
the accident there was a steady pro-
cession of these extemporized ambu-
lances from the scene of the accident
in the railroad yards to the Hotel
Richelieu. The dining-room of the ho-
tel was used as an operating room by
the surgeons. A score of wives and
daughters of the rescuers volunteered
as nurses and worked with the surgeons
all the morning. More than 20 of the in
jured Were fastened and pinned down
in the wreckage so that they had to be
chopped and pried out. Their groans
and cries were pitiful and spurred the
wreckers on to redoubled efforts. 1t
was late in the morning before all had
been extricated and removed to the
hospital. All of the animal cars were
unloaded and the cages removed to
neighboring fields where the animals
could get air and quiet down after ex-
element.

Receives Homage of Cardinals.
AS the new pontin stepped from be-
hind the altar, the only touch of color
about him being his red and gold
shoes, he really seemed to be the en-
bodiment of his holy Office. His face
was pale and clearly softened by emo
ton. He paused a moment, as he
came before the expectant cardinals,
then seated himself on the throne
with hurried movement, as though
he had suddenly grown weak. His
back was to the altar and he was en-
throned to serve the so-called first
obedience" of the cardinals.
All kissed his hand and feet, while

with bowed and uncovered heads.

he was about to give to the people of
Rome. The procession traversed many
noble halls, until it approached the
window looking into st. Peters. From
below rose a murmur of voices, which,
although subdued by distance. denoted
the presence Of a large concourse of
people. The pope was seen to grow
pale. and then, turning to Cardinal
Bacilieri, who stood beside him, he
said:
