Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 26.-The
death list as a result of the fearful
wreck on the Southern railroad near
Newmarket Saturday has now grown
to sixty-two, and it will probably ex-
coed seventy before long, as many
OF the injured are in a serious coadi-
ton and more deaths will occur at the
hospital. Sunday there were six
deaths at that institution.
A force of $50 men toiled all day
long Sunday at the scene of the
wreck. Before 2 O'Clock Sunday morn
ing the track was cleared to through
trains, but it required many hours TO
clear the debris. Engineers Parrott
and Kline were found beneath their
engines, but their bodies were not
badly crushed. small fragments OF
bodies were found in many instances
Sunday, but it is thought that they be-
long to bodies already found and
brought to this city.
The cause of the loss of life in the
heavy ~eastbound train was explained
Sunday. 1t seems that the second
coach %ploughed its way into a bank in
such a manner that the other cars
were damned into it and, pushed on
by the weight of heavy Pullmans,
were crushed like eggshells.
Physicians at the hospital state that
of the long list of injured which they
have in their care, IL is probable that
not more than fou will die.
About 125 persons were injured.
The two passenger trains collided
eighteen miles east of Knoxville.
According to the best information
the wreck was due to a failure of the
crew of the w%estbound train to carry
out its orders to meet the e~astbound
passenger at Hodges station. In
stead of making the siding at Hodges,
1t proceeded toward Knoxville, with
the result that a collision occurred.
Engineer May Have Been Dead.
The possibility exists that the engi-
neer of the ~westbound train may have
been asleep or dead. But nothing is
known save that the orders were not
obeyed.
Both trains were running on time
and at thirty miles an hour. The To-
comotives were demolished and the
major portions of both trains were
wrecked with the exception of the
Pullman cars, none of which left the
track.
The wrecked coaches were filed
with dead and injured and the rescue
work was accomplished with great
difficulty. A special relief train left
Knoxville as soon as possible. The
removal of the wreckage and the
wounded and dead commenced as soon
as the train reached the Gene.
Some of the bodies may not be re-
covered and many remain unidentified.
All of the killed live in the South
and most of the injured are residents
of Tennessee. OF the persons injured
only a few suffered serious wounds.
Most of the wounded sustained cuts,
bruises and shocks that ought not to
result seriously.
The westbound passenger from Bris-
tol was q light local, while the east
bound train carried Pullmans, two
day coaches and a mail and baggage
car. The greatest loss of life occur
red in the eastbound train. In the
w~estbound only the engine crew were
killed.

POSSE IN PURSUIT.
Ten Desperate Prisoners Break Jail at
Billings, Mont.

Billings, Mont, Sept. 24.-Ten pris-
oners, among them some of the most
desperate criminals ever confined in
the Yellowstone county prison, made
their escape from jail here during the
night and are still at large. The Jail
breakers worked with great skill and
quietness and the escape probably
would o have been discovered until
morning had not the escaping men
secured guns and held up j.. W.

ONLY PENSIONER OF 1912.
Hiram Cronk, Of New York, Is the On-
iy Man Left on the Roll I-fIe Is Now
Io4 Years Old dets $77 Monthly.

Alva, N. Y, April 10, = Hiram S,
Cronk, the only surviving pensioner Of
the war of 1912, celebrated his 10th.
birthday at his home here today. For
man Of his age he displays wonderful
vitality. His daughter, with whom he
makes his home, is OF the opinion that
her father is getting new teeth, and
members OF the family say that few
years ago new hair, as soft and fine as
baby's made its appearance ON his head,
in places where the old hair had tallen
away.
Cronk was born at Frankfort, N. j.,
and has spent practically his entire life
within the borders Of this State. When
about thirteen years Of age he ENLISTED
ia the United States army. The war Of
1872 was then nearing its close. Accord
ing to record in possession OF his rela-
-tives, Cronk entered the United States
military service ut Western, N. ", on
August 2, 1914, as private in Captain
Edmund Fuller's company, the One
hundred and fifty seventh Regiment,
Infantry, New York militia, Lieutenant
Colonel Erastus Cleveland commanding
He served in the defense of Sackett's
Harbor, on Lake Ontario, until honora-
bly, discharged by reason Of the expira-
tion OF his enlistment, November i6, 1914.
His father, James Cronk, and his broth
ers, John and Casper, enlisted at the
same time and place. his first period OF
service was for forty days, at Sackett's
Harbor, and his relatives state that he
then went as substitute for period OF
sixty days more, or until the close OF the
war, when he was iionorably discharged.
Cronk got a pension Of So month In
1870, and in March, 1902, this was in
creased to S25 month. Two weeks ago
Governor Odell signed bill granting
him pension Of S72 a month.

Own Your Home.

There is both truth and poetry in the
following from the esteemed Mobile
Herald:
A Boston expert has been making ex-
haustive researches into the home life of
hundreds Of families in all parts OF the
country. He wanted 10 know how the
average family spent its income.
He found folks who ate themselves
into poverty; others who starved in or
der to dress; people who wasted hard
earned dollars, and one fact that seems
bigger than all the rest,
According to his figures the average
family of moderate means pays from 20
to 25 per cent. Of their gross income to
landlord. In other words, the bread
winner works nearly or quite fourth
OF his time for the privilege OF roof to
cover Lis head.
1t is wonder that more young married
men do not buy homes. They can do II
if they will. 1t only takes little pluck
a little daring and some selfdenial. Mo-
dern methods Of easy payments have
actually made 1T possible to pay for a
home as you now pay rent.
A home IS an anchor. A rented apart
ment can never be anything more than a
temporary place OF abode. The question
OF moving comes up often.
The man who owns home wants tc
improve it. He has flowers and vines
and well kept lawn. The sense OF pos
session and ownership makes his chest
stick out bit He is an actual part oi
the city in which he lives, and he and
his wife and children are all interested
in making it and the city beautiful.
There is another side to it.
The purchase OF home is almost al
profit. The head Of the family saves
money because he must save money oil
lose his home. He applies dollars to the
mortgage that would otherwise have
been frittereq away in manner thai
even he couldn't account for, Money
melts easier than snow In July. he
makes payments by cutting down or

After fifty-seven years of ardent,

nearly all OF which was spent in her good
work in Louisiana, Mother Stephanie has
passed to her last great reward her death
|occuring at the mother house of the sis
tors OF st. Joseph, in France, whithe,
she was called to spend her last davs in
the fullest enjoyment of the peace and
rest she had SO nobly earned.
d Mother Stephanie was born in France
seventy eight years ago, coming of a
deeply religious family. Early in life
she came to America and first devoted
her service to teaching and to succoring
the poor. 1t was under her plans and
personal direction that the square of
buildings OF the convent at st. Philip
and Galyez streets were erected and the
gounds beautified, also the beautiful
convent chapel facing Ursuline street.
She founded many large schools in
Louisiana, being great believer in
higher education. She also founded the
large orphan asylum in Baton Rouge,
and the magnificent academy OF st.
Joseph, which is pointed to as an ins.i-
tuition of which Baton Rouge and
Louisiana have cause TO be proud. The
splendid Convent of Bay st. Louis, sit
uated very near the College of st.
Stanislaus, was founded and erected by
Mother Stephanie.
