DYNAMITE
EXPLODES IN A B. & o.
COLLISION
TWO MEN ARE DEAD
And Several Others Sc
riously Injured.

Cumberland, Nd, Sept. 23.-Two
men are dead and several more or less
seriously injured as a result of COLI
sion which took place this afternoon
between a fast freight train OF the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad and truck
loaded with dynamite on a railroad
crossing at North Branch, w. Va, six
males east of here.
The force of the collision caused an
immediate explosion of nearly every
pound of dynamite on the wagon and
the next moment the locomotive,
dragging the long string of cars be-
hind it, was blown clear off the track
and over an embankment.
Brakeman Walter Whitehead, Of
Martinsburg, w. Va, was torn to
pieces, dying instantly, and Engineer
Nelson Pike was blown fifty feet into
the air and injured so badly that
death followed shortly afterward.
Fireman Sanders was scalded to such
an extent that his life is despaired of.
The little railroad office was literally
torn from the ground and came down
In spiinters. B. G o. operator Charles
Hamilton, who was in the Office and
his brother, Grant, were badly hurt.
In its mad dash down the embank-
ment, the train crashed by Hamilton's
residence, wrecking 1t completely but
none Of the occupants were injured to
any extent. The tower house wes de-
mOlished and the shock of tho eynIp-
sion broke nearly every window in the
town. Several people were thrown
from their feet, but escaped injury.
The blame for the accident is laid at
the door Of the driver of the wagon
who it is said persisted in keeping on
the tracks despite the engineers sig
nal. The man escaped unhurt, as did
the horses, although the wagon was
wrecked.

AN APPEAL
For Fall River Textile
Operations

Washington, d. c., Sept. 23.-Presi-
dent Gompers, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor issued an appeal to-
night to all organized labor, pleading
for financial aid for the $4,000 textile
operators in Fall River who have been
on strike for eight weeks against
a proposed reduction of 12h per cent
in their already scant wages"
1t is declared that the contest has
been fully investigated by the execu-
tive council Of the order and the strik-
ers given its full support. In conclu-
sion President Gompers says:
mo more worthy cause can appeal
to you than this. The textile OPP
eratives need your financial as we'll as
moral support. All members Of organ
lied labor are especially appealed to
contribute financially to the limit of
their ability. Let all make a deter
mined effort to help our brothers and
sisters OF Fall River to win glorious
victory and thereby protect our own
interests and receive the reward and
gratitude of the present as well as the
future"

AN ASSAULT
ON PORT ARTHUR NOW IN
PROGRESS
FIRING IS DEAFENlNC
Great Valor of the De-
tenders.

Paris, Sept. 24.-According to the ST
Petersburg correspondent of the Matin
the emperor received a dispatch at
O'Clock this morning which it is be-
lieved contains important news rela-
tive to the situation at Port Arthur.
The general assault upon the for
tress, says the correspondent is now
in progress.
Several attacks have been repulsed
with tremendous losses to the Japan
ese. The firing is being directed by
General Fock, whose success in di-
recting the defense is great beyond ex-
pectation.
The japanese warships are aiding In
the onslaught and are raining shells
into the city. The firing around the
fortress is deafening.
The valor displayed by the defenders
Is unprecedented in the annals of Rus
sian warfare, but the consensus of
opinion is that no effort can prevent
the fall of Port Arthur.
From every hill occupied by them
the japanese are pouring o perfect
stream of fire into the besieged town.
General Stoessel's tactics Of mining
the bases of the Hills still held by
his forces are proving disastrous to the
Japanese who are being killed by
thousands by exploding mines.

to the engulfed children to catch hold
of ropes we're almost drowned. Ask
ed by Coroner Weaver If complaint
had been made as to the condition Of
the closet, she replied that none was
made this year. Last year she thought
several complaints were made. The
floor at that time needed repairs at one
corner.
There are three churches in the vii
lage. They are the Presbyterian,
Methodist and the German Lutheran,
presided over by the Rev. Frederick
Homan, who is in a way the spiritual
father of many of the villagers regard

of the school directors. AS he left, the
scene of the accident four families
appealed to him for help in conducting
the services. The reverend gentleman
was heart-broken. 1t is his idea to
have the village appoint a season of
mourning and that a general service
be held by all churches for the dead.
1t is probable that the accident will be
still further investigated.
The Rev. Mr.. Homan tonight in dis
Cussing the accident said.
II weigh about 200 pounds. Last
week l tested the strength of the floor
by jumping up and down on it and it
never quivered. The fact that bricks
are not disturbed proves to my mind
that there was no defect in the founda-
ton, but that the timbers used for
girdere must have given way. The
outhouse was repaired two years ago."

Cincinnati, o., Sept. 23.-Pleasant
Ridge, the beautiful suburb of Cincin-
natl, is place of mourning tonight for
the nine little school girls who met
death in horrible form this morning
through the giving way of the floor
over the vault in the outhouse of the
public school. Another little one was
perhaps fatally hurt
Coroner Weaver closed his prelimin-
ary inquest into the accident at 2
o'clock this afternoon after having
heard the testimony of ali who could
throw any light on the affair ut the
time. He will summon the survivors
of the accident, the teachers, the mem
bers of the school board and all other
officials to his Office in the city where
he will go into the question Of respon-
sibility. AS a means to this end, he
ordered that the broken timbers be re-
served for him. and they will be placed
under lock and ley. When he had con-
cluded his duties, the undertakers
were permitted to remove the bodies.
The girders supporting the floor were
found to be badly rotted. The struc-
ture was built twelve years ago. The
floor was repaired two years ago.
Miss Una Venable, a teacher, told
how one of the children ran to her
room telling of the accident The high
school children We're at once formed
into a guard she said, to keep smaller
children from the scene and to quiet
them. The cries and shrieks of thc
children who ran from the school
room were so loud, she said that It
was almost impossible to hear any

FINANClERS CONCUR.
Contracts for Summit Avenue
Water Main and Jackson
Avenue Sewer Approved.

The Street and Water Board this
morning met and awarded to P. III. Tum-
lily, Jr, the contract for laying water
mains in upper Summit avenue at 1914
per cent. of the standard cost. The FL
nance Board met Immediately afterward
and concurred in the resolution.
The Finance Board also concurred in
the recent resolution of the Street and
Water Board awarding the contract for
the reconstruction Of the Jackson avenue
relief sewer to ]. Roosevelt Stanley at
971a per cent. of the standard cost. 1t

mule sewer as soon as the contract is ap-
proved by the law department.
The reconstruction of this sewer will
cost over $163, 900. Under the law, the

priated $146, 1O7. 80 as a balance Of the
estimated cost of the reconstruction of
the Jackson avenue sewer. The bonds
are to run for thirty years at four per
cent. interest, and the Board provided for
sinking funds into which 211a per cent.
of the whole issue is to be placed each
year

1856 for the furnishing of new No. IL
School. A temporary loan bond is to be
issued, and the principal and interest is
to be taken from the next tax levy.

ACCUSES A MAID
Mrs. Leroy h. Anderson Of
PrincetonSays She Was
Robbed in the
Gilsey House.

Lizzie Halloek, chambermaid in the
Gilsey House was charged today in JEFF
ferson Market Police Court, N. Y. with the
robbery of jewelry valued at 81 600 and

the maid was the last person there before
their disaearance.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were patrons
of the hotel on election night On re-
turning from the theatre, and before ac-
companying her husband out to see the
crowds, Mrs. Anderson removed a dia-
mond sunburst from her throat, a cluster
of pearls from her waist and placed
them, with diamond ring mad $3.50 in
gold and banknotes, in a chamois bag,
which She left on the bureau.
When she met her husband at a down
town ferry yesterday noon Mrs. Ander-
son discovered the chamois bag was not

Anderson returned to the hotel and noti-
fed its management Of the loss.
Lizzie Hallock said she had found a
bag such as Mrs. Anderson described,
and, thinking the room had not been sur
rendered, put it in bureau drawer. 1t
was not where she said she had placed
it. The hotel mana cement said she had
violated a hotel rule in not reporting the
matter to the ofice. Thereupon she was

cence. s

have been stolen.
