East-bound passenger train No. A
Of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad was
wrecked early yesterday evening at
Demmler, Pa, and five persons were
injured, and the passengers received a
severe shaking up. The train is fast
one, which goes to Weston, w. Va,
and at Demmler it collided with a
work train and derailed and wrecked
six cars Of the work train and smashed
the passenger engine somewhat. The
latter climbed on top OF the work
train cars, which were in big heap.
A dozen gondola cars in the dirt
train bad just been loaded with moist,
soft soil from the hillside, and when
the express train finally stopped tumb-
ling and rolling the five cars, passen-
gers and all, were covered with layer
of sticky mud. The wreck was clear

wounded scraped the mud from them
selves. The injured

leaving Pittsburg at o. N. The
passenger engine was wrecked, the bag
gage and express cars derailed and half
dozen cars Of the work train wreck
ed Of the dozen or more passengers
injured none were seriously burt.
Traffic on the road was blocked for
three hours.
Train No. / does not stop between
Braddoek and McKeesport, and at
Demmler it runs at the rate of 80 miles
an hour The work train was making
an effort to cross the eastbound track
before the arrival Of No. 4.
Engineer Davis says as he rounded
the curve below Demmler crossing he
saw the work train entering the main
track. He reversed the engine. Davis
had just time to leap back into the
tender when the locomotive hit a dirt
car. The fireman followed his chief
and both landed in the tender at the
moment of the collision. Their lives
were saved by the fact that the big
engine rose over the top of The dirt
car instead Of ploughing through it.
The dirt train was completely wreck
ed, all the II cars being sphntered.
Engineer Davis took his train
through McKeesport over three hours
late. The McKeesporters on the train
walked from the scene of the wreck to
that city, three miles.

WRIGHTS ALL WRONG.
Elopement at Mt. Hermon with
Unusual Features.

Nathaniel Wright Ran Away with His
Wife's Brothers Wife-R. B. Wright
and Mrs. Nathaniel Wright Left by
Their Spouses to Console Each
Other-RunaWays Said 10 be in Jail.
The story of an ,elopement with
some unusual features comes from
Mount Hermon this county. Ma
thaniel Wright disappeared several
days ago with the wife of r. b.
Wright. The two are not relatives,
but Nathaniel Wright's wife is K. b.
Wright's sister. r. B. is without a
wife and Mrs. Nathaniel without a
husband. Mrs. r. B. and Nathaniel
both evidently thought one of the
name was as good as the same, while
Mrs. Nathaniel and r. b. were
evidently of different opinion Mr.
and Mrs. Wright have gone wrong,
r. BIS efforts to right the wrong
have so far been without avail.
r. B. and Nathaniel Wright are
neighbors. They are about 35 or 40
years OF age, and their wives are
about the same. Mrs. r. b. is not "a
particularly handsome woman, but
nevertheless Nathaniel became in
fatuated with her.
He left home some days ago,
stating that he was going to Blacks
vile to deposit $500. Instead of
this he borrowed 500 from the
Blaeksville bank and returned TO
Days Run. Here he was seen with
Mrs. R. B. Wright, his wife's brothers
wife. They left together and were
last seen together at Burton.
Nathaniel sent his horse and buggy
from Burton back to Blacksville by
the mail-carrier, At Burton they
took the train, and went, no one
knows where.
1t is rumered that they were last
heard of III Cham bersburg and that
they were arrested and placed in jail
there. This report. however, has not
been confirmed. Mrs Nathaniel
Wright is living on the hill where she
has always lived, and across the lot
her brother lives in his deserted home.
The woman who ran away was an Ed
dy before her marriage, though the
officer who gave the facts to New

NotheF Jones Addresses Meeting.
cubernatorial Candidate Hanford
Abuses Everybody but Himself and
Gives Some Brilliant Advice.

New York, July "a Mother" Jones
army consisting of 81 men. women
ard children. arrived in Manhattan by
ferry from Hoboken. They we're met
by a delegation from the Social DEM
oeratic club. The army made no at
tempt to parade, but split up into
groups and walked on the sidewalks
to the headquarters OF the club.
The army abandoned its march in
view of Acting Police Commissioner
Ebsteins refusal earlier in the day to
permit a parade. Ater Mayor Low
granted a permit to hold an evening
meeting Still later Ebstein reversed
himself and granted permit to pa
rade
With drums beating and transpar-
encies setting forth their demands the
army walked to Madison avenue,
where the meeting took place.
Two hundred people, exclusive OF
the large police escort, were in line.
People who saw the motley collection
of walkers and their police escort
wondered what It was all about.
The speaking was from a truck.
Colonel Geiger, of Philadelphia, pre-
sided and made speech. SO did
Benjamin Hanford, candidate for gov
ernor of New York on the Social DEM
oeratic ticket at the last election. Col
onel Geiger introduced Mother Jones,
who was greeted with cheers. She
answered questions put to her by the
spectators.
Mother Jones began by saying she
had just marched 80 miles and was
very tired and had brought with her
a little band of slaves, and" said she,
we are quietly marching toward the
presidents home. | believe he can do
something for these children, although
the press declares he cannot. Con-
gress last year passed a bill giving
$45, 900 to fill the stomach of an old
prince, and he endorsed that, and If
he could do that, he surely could tell
congress to pass bill that would take
the children out of the God-accursed
mills and put them in the schools"
Hanford abused the police, Mayor
Low, j. P Morgan. J, d. Rockefeller,
President Roosevelt and others, and
among other things thus advised his
hearers:
Next election vote so that you will
carry the revolver instead of the po-
lice. Not that we socialists believe In
bloodshed, but if bloodshed there is to
be, want to see battlefield where
the capitalist lies stark and where the
socialists are planting their banner"

The following extract is taken
from Mason's Examination of
Water" f2nd ed. 1909 As an au-
thority upon his subject Prof Mason
is without a superior IN America:
"Lawes and Andrews in their re-
port to the London County Council
show that the chance of discovering
B. HYPNOSIS in sewage is exceedingly
small. They entirely failed to find
it in London sewage. Finally they
examined the sewage flowing with
out disinfection) from the Eastern
Hospital at Homeston, which same
received the objections of forty ty-
phoid patients. Out OF whole series
of samples examined from the latter
source only two colonies of B.
HYPNOSIS were differentiated with
certainty. Similar experience has
been recorded by practically all the
recent observers, and consequently
search for the typhoid germ in water
is becoming very unusual.
"The present position of this
question is tersely summed up by
Dir. W. H. WEIGH:
eve possess no satisfactory meth
cd for the determination of the
presence of the typhoid bacillus in
water. With our present methods
the most that can be expected from
the biological examination of water
as regards this question is the de
termination, not of the actual pres
ence of the typhoid bacillus, but of
the possibility or probability of its
presence. Our principal guide at
present in drawing conclusions as
to the possible presence of the ty
phoid bacillus in suspected drinking
water is the recognition OF faecal
bacteria, and more particularly, of
members of the colon group"

MAYOR M'GREW TALKS.
Has Some Interesting Things to
Say About Fever.

Only Twelve Cases in Town at Present
Time-SOme of These are Malarial--
Government Expert Wanted to Make
Investigation to Disarm all Possible
Criticism.
Mayor McGrew was found in his
office this morning by NEw Do
MINIoN man who had dropped in to
see what was doing at headquarters.
After a chat of some moments the
matter of engaging an expert to in
vestigate sanitary matters came up.
eve are doing the best we can to
locate man who is competent, ''said
Mayor McGrew At present we
are in correspondence with the state
board of health relative to getting
man from the marine hospital corps
at Washington
0There is no doubt that there are
men right here at home who are
thoroughly competent but we have
decided TO get some one whose de-
eision will not be questioned.
In case local man went into the
matter and decided that there was
nothing wrong with the water and
milk supplies, people outside would
say that of course he would not tell
the truth about the affair Some
people at home might object to his
finding no matter what it might be
and we want to bring in some man
who has absolutely no bias in the
premises and who is Indifferent to
what the conditions really are and
only interested in finding out the
exact status of affairs"
you remember Iwhen local ply
sicians said last year that we
had small pox and then state board
member was sent here and said the
same thing, their decisions were
questioned. After the government
sent man there was no longer any
question about it.
"The latest reports from the ply
slcians show that there are but | 2
cases of fever here Some if not most
of these are malarial rather than
typhoid. And ! believe that the
great majority of the cases hereto
fore noted have been that instead OF
typhoid fever"
'sThey may be caused by digging
for new streets, for new buildings,
for sewers and for the thousand and
one things which have caused the
streets to be torn up for months at
a time"
at may be that the water is bad.
But what causes fever in the noun
tains where there are no houses for
miles in any direction? There is
fever at Elkins and big row has
been kicked up there on account of
it."
water from Elkins is brought
from a mountain stream which
should be pure as pure can be.
There are no houses on the water
shed of the creek from which the
supply is taken. Yet the other night
when Mr.. Dean and | were there, a
oiS uclcSaeioH VI ClViACno HolIou on
the council and raised particular
cain because this, that and the other
thing had not been done.
''Pittsburg has an increase of
thirty fever cases IN two days. This
is blamed on the council which has
not provided adequate filtration.
And so it goes in any town you may
name"
at may be that the water supply
here is not pure but / think it is.
But at any rate we are going to get
man just as quickly as possible
and have him sift the thing thor
oughly. five can prevent it there
IS not going to be any further cause
for complaint"
