senger and six trainmen were killed
outright, while seventeen passengers
and eight employees were injured.
The two trains were respectively the
west and eastbound from st. Louis
and Louisville and were travelling at
q high rate of speed when the crash
came

Louis Knoxville sleepers were drawn
by both trains, but none of the pas

telescoped and caught fire. The cars
of the westbound train were only par.
TALLY telescoped and the passengers
escaped without serious injury.
A wrecking crew ana relief party
left Princeton, Ind, at once and began
clearing the track and removing the

of the task was to extinguish the
flames, which had broken out among
the shattered engines and coaches.
Water was carried in rain coats and
thrown on the flames by the passen-

Several cars were burned before the
fire was extinguished. Each train car
ried day coaches, chair car and two
sleepers. The chair cars and sleepers
were not injured.

GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENT.
One Man Killed and Eleven Persons
Injured at Minneapolis.

One Man Killed and Eleven Persons
Injured at Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, Dec. .27-W. M. Gager
was killed and eleven persons serl-
ously injured in crash between an
Eighth and Central street car and a
Northern Pacific switch engine at Sew
enteenth avenue, northeast, and Cen
tral avenue.
There were eighty.fve passengers
in the car and the fact that not more
were killed is surprising.
The accident was the result of a
misunderstanding of signals between
Motorman G. r. Gustafson and Mich
ael Bridell, fagman at the crossing.
GustafsOn drove the car to within a
few feet of the crossing. The flagman
was on the tracks and the gate was
up, He saw the train approaching
from the east and made motion to
the motorman, who thought that the
signal meant to go ahead E. S. Bill.
lows, engineer of the engine, saw the
signal and thought he had been sig
nailed to come ahead.
The car reached the tracks on which
the engine was coming and Gustafson
saw the danger and turned on the full
current, thinking he could get across.
The engineer tried to stop, but it was
tool late and the street car was struck
near the front end, thrown clear Off
the track and swung around.
The pilot of the engine then struck
the rear end of the car,-where most
of the passengers were and where
most of the injuries were inflicted.
The exact manner of Gager's death
has not yet been determined, but his
body was torn to shreds under the
wheels of the engine.

Vast Armies Again Being Mobilzed
in Japan.
Toxic, Dec. 27.-Tokio is again a
great military camp and the scenes Of
last spring, when the first armies
were mobilized and dispatched, are be-
ing duplicated. Thousands of recruits
and reservists are assembled, drilling
and equipping preparatory to taking
the field. The permanent and tempor-
ary barracks are filed and it is neces-
sary to billet the soldiers brought to
the city. Aoyoma field is the center
of activity, where infantry, cavalry
and artillery are constantly drilling.
The batteries fire blank cartridges for
the purpose of breaking in the horses.
The general military preparations

REQuISITION Refused
CLEVELAND SHERIFF FAILS TO
SECURE ExTRADlTloN OF
DR.. CHADWICK.
SERIOUS DEFECT IN LEGAL PAPERS
INDICTED MANS PRESENCE IN
OHIO ON MARCH 5, 1908,
NOT PROVEN.

Albany, N Y, Dec. 27.-Sheriff
Barry of Cleveland, O., who expects to
arrest DR.. Leroy S. Chadwick, hus-
band of Mrs. Chadwick, when he
lands in New York, on the charge Of
forging the name of Andrew Carnegie,
met a check in his plans when he
failed to obtain from Governor OdeIl
the requisitiOn papers necessary to
permit the transportation of DR.. Chad
wick to Ohio for trial. He called at
the executive chamber at the capitol,
but was Informed by Judge John T.
Joyce, the governors pardon and requi-
sition- clerk, that his papers were de-
fective in that they failed to prove
that DR.. Chadwick was in the state Of
Ohio on March 5, 1903, when the al
legged forgery was committed. Sheriff
Barry decided not to try to correct his
papers now, but to go on to New York
and arrest DR.. Chadwick and arrange
for his requisition afterwards.
Before leaving for New York Sun
day the Cleveland sheriff telegraphe
to the executive department here ask
ing that hisrpapers be prepared so that
there might be no delay upon his ar
rival early Monday morning. When
the telegram was received Governor
Odell was at his home in NeWDursh
and the message was given to his par
don clerk. Judge Joyce Immediately
teiephoned the governor and received
authority from him to deliver the de-
sired warrant in case the application
papers were properly drawn up. Sher-
If Barry called at the executive cham
Der and presented to Judge Joyce the
requisition papers signed by Governor
Herrick Of Ohio asking an extradition
warrant to enable him to take his
prisoner out of New York state,
When the sheriff learned that his
proof was defective there was at first
some talk Of his returning in person
to Ohio for the purpose of getting the
corrections. After further consuita-
ton with Judge Joyce he concluded
to telegraph to have the afidaYits pre-
pared and sent to him in New York.
He said this was a purely formal mat
ter and that affidavits could be prompt
ly Obtained showing that DR., Chadwick
was in Ohio on or about March 5,
1903.
Inc OillO -SneTlIl leLI lmmealaCely
afterWard for New York, where he will
wait for DR.. Chadwick's arrival, whose
steamer is expected Wednesday. He
will consult with the New York city
authorities regarding the best couge
of procedure. Before leaving Sheriff
Barry said that while he was disap-
pointed at not obtaining the requisi-
ton at the time the failure would not
delay him to any appreciable extent.
