Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. IS. THE
death list resulting from the head or
collision between two Pere Marquette
railway passenger trains near East Par
is Saturday evening stands at twenty
two with twenty persons injured
several OF them probably fatally.
1t was the most disastrous wreck il
the history of the Pcre Marquette sys-
tenn and instead OF being caused BY
man carelessness or mistake is charg-
ed to the high wind which extinguished
the red signal light Iii the order board
at McCord's station, where the west
bound train was expected to stop and
receive new orders. Two minutes be-
lore the train rushed by McCord's S sta
tion, the light was burning, says the
operator, but in that brief interval the
blizzard that was raging extingnished
it and train No. S flashed by the sta
tion to crash into east bound train No
|6 near east Paris. The trains which
were two of the finest on the system
were reduced to pile Of broken and
twisted timber and metal, with dead
and injured pinned down and crushed
by the fragments.
M. Carpenter, vice president OF
the Pere Marquette railroad arrived here
from Chicago and said the wreck was
caused undoubtedly BY a signal light be-

SAFE BLOWERS

Philadelphia, Dec. 28-Two white
men with revolyers blew open safe,
held up several persons and otherwise
caused considerable excitement in the
suburban towns along the main line Of
sthe Pennsylvania railroad. Two men
were held UP at Haverford and later a
man escorting several ladies was stop
ped by the same men, but the screams
of his companions scared the footpads
off. Several hours later they appeared
at Stafford, covered an aged watchman
with reyolvers and bIindfolded him.
The men then blew open the safe in the
railroad station, which is also used as a
postoffice and took about $1,000 in
money and stamps. The police have a
good description of the burglars.
