WRECK ON A v1ADUcr.
Lake Shore Train Jumps Track and
Twelve Are Injured.

Chicago, Sept. ia passenger
train on the Lake Shore Michigan
Southern road was wrecked at the
crossing of the tracks at Root street.
Accounts of the cause differ, some of
the railroad people claiming that the
train ran into an open switch, and
others saying that the locomotive
jumped the track because of a broken
hange.
Twelve persons were injured and
several of them may die. Following
is a list of the casualties:
John Schuler, Elkhart, Ind, en-
gineer, fracture of left leg and COM
pound fracture of the left armi not ex-
pected to live.

man, head cut and internally injured;
George Leffert Clayton, Mich, two
ribs broken, left leg and right collar
bone broken.

E. Rluncus, Chicago. both hands
mangleA.
C. Folkus, Chicago, leg broken.
A. Trorog, Chicago, leg broken.

Miss Jean Martin, Pasadena, Cal,
badly bruised, not serious.
DR.. L. H. Goodrich, Springfield.
Mass, badly bruised.
w. G. Weiss. New York, severely cut
about the body.
The train was going at a high rate
of speed to make up lost time. The
tracks are elevated, and the accident
happened just before the train reach
ed the viaduct crossing over Root
street. The engine left the track. buE
the forepart of the tender struck the
end of the viaduct railing and was
torn to pieces. The engine plunged
to the far side of the viaduct, where
a rail torn from it's fastenings rose on
end and transhxed the rear of the en-
gine cab and the forepart Of the bag
gage car. 1t held the wreckage so
closely that several hours work with
cold chisels was necessary before the
wreckage of the baggage car could
be removed The four cars next be-
hind the baggage car were piled in a
heap at the north end of the viaducts
and all of them badly smashed. An
overturned stove in the rear coach set
fire to the wreckage, but 1t was extin-
guished by the fire department before
1t had gained much headway.
The engineer and fireman remained
at their posts until the last, and both
men were pulled out from the debris
unconscious.

Much Graphite Imported.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-The United
States geological survey has issued a
report showing that in 1903 the United
States consumed 37,75S short tons of
graphite, valued at s1,59S,5S9. The
value of the total home production
was only S225554. The annual i'm
portation of graphite into the United
States each year far exceeds, therefore,
the domestic production. The value
of the imports in 1903 was S1,207,73O.
against S116S,554, the value of the
graphite imported in 1902.

MUST HAVE
DUST AGAIN

II looks a good deal as though
Seattle would be n sufferer from
dust again next summer. The ap-
preparation asked by Street Super
intendent Walters for sprinkling
the streets at that time was not al
lowed by the finance committee be-
cause of rs stringent method of
keeping down the tax levy for next
year. II Is possible that later on
a means OF providing the money
necessary for the work will be
found. but Il is not likely. Mr..
Walters asked for a sufficient ap-
preparation to purchase two motor
sprinklers and several wagons.
