The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-01-01

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 2S.-Eigh-
teen identified dead and four unidenti-
fed and thirty injured is the result Of
the most disastrous railway wreck that
ever occurred on the Pere Marquette
and one Of the worst, so far as life is
concerned, that ever happened in
Michigan.
A warning signal light in the order
board of the McCords station, extin-
guished by the high wind, sent train
No. s, speeding toward Grand Rapids
to meet the fast local No. 6, on what
is admittedly the fastest stretch of
track on the Detroit division of the
Pere Marquette.
Five cars and two magnificent loco
motives were crushed and broken and
compressed into space ordinarily &C.
cupied by three coaches and the
wreckage strewn from fence to fence
of the right of way, with injured and
dying pinned and crushed under the
fragments of the heavy bulkheaded
cars.
SlqnaI Lamp blew Out.
No. 6 left Grand Rapids with Engi-
neer Stoddard at the throttle. The
starting orders were changed to meet
No. S at McCords. A similar order
was transmitted to the operator at Nc
Cords. His order board was set against
the flyer and the lamp was burning
brightly two minutes before the fast
train roared out of the cut.
There was no chance Of the fast run
ming trains to see each other through
the driving blizzard in time to even
slow down, and in a few minutes the
word came from the conductor of No.
s. They had come together and the
death list was something horrible to
contemplate. Both trains we're behind
time and both engineers were crow 81
Ing their magnificent machines. AS
the trains came together the seam
domes of each boiler blew off, lreleas-
ing the contents of the generators,
else there would have been ldded hor-
rors from the bllstering v>por.
It was at the rear end OF the smoker
and forward end Of the cafe car where
all passspgers were injured. From .
space SIX feet square the bodies OF two
women, a boy and a man were taken
out. Relief trains were sent out and
brought in the bodies of many OF the
dead and injured.
Pathetic Scenes.
1t was a pathetic little pathway that
was worn by the six carriers who bore
the single cot back and forth from the
end of the big parlor car to the bag
gage coach Of the relief train, and few
of the hundreds who stood about the
wreck cared to look.

II Must Come.

AS inevitable as the changing seasons of
the year is the change which comes to
every woman. And just as one anticipates
the changes of other seasons it is wise to
anticipate this change of season and pre-
pare for 1t. In this way the discomforts
and disasters suffered by many women at
the period of change can be avoided or
overcome.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, med
icine for every season of woman's life, will
entirely meet the needs of women at this
period of change. 1t cures the physical
ills and relieves the mental anxiety and
depression usually associated with this
critical period. 1t tranquilizes the nerves,
encourages the appetite and induces re-
freshing sleep.

COAL STRIKE
NOW SEEMS TO BE UN-
AVOlOABLE
NO SETTLEMENT LIKELY
Hopes Of Compromise
Nearly Abandoned.

indianapolis, Ind, March when
the session of the special scale commit
tee. upon the deliberations of which
depends the contention Of the miners
and operators of the four states. com
prisng the central competitive dis
trlct, adjourned today the settlement OF
the wage scale agreement, to be effec-
tive after the expiration of the pres
ent contract on April !, became more
remote than at any previous stage Of
the present negotiations. Throughout
the day representatives of the two rival
factions have considered to an eXhaus-
tive degree the demands of each party
TO the dispute. Nothing definite has
been accomplished.
Tonight a settlement is as unlikely
of accomplishment as Ii has been at
any previous stage OF the long confer
ence. An attempt was made at this
afternoons session of the committee to
effect a compromise of the demands of
miners and operators but neither side
evidenced any willingness to recede
from the positions that were announced
at the open conference OF yesterday
Francis L. Robbins who has domi-
mated the deliberations so far as the
operators have been concerned. declar-
ed in the executive session held this
afternoon that the operators of none OF
, the four states would sign any wage
scale agreement that did not mean a re-
duction Of 10 per cent, demanded at the
session Of yesterdays joint conference.
Just as firm in their stand are the
miners. President Mitchell said that
Mr.. Robbins, in his speech before the
joint conference yesterday afternoon
had said that the present discussion
meant the parting OF the ways. Since
listening to that declaration by the
leader of the operators. the miners
have decided that If his utterance
should become a reality, they were
willing and ready TO abide by The is
sue In view of this tonight there is
but slight probability that the confer
ence tomorrow will be able to decide on
joint scale agreement. Miners and
operators alike believe that strike In
the bituminous fields OF the country
cannot be averted Offers OF compro-
misses are improbable and the delegates
are awaiting the action of the confer
ence tomorrow morning with but
slight hope that an amicable agreement
can be effected.

ONE OF THE HEIRS

Mrs. Dee r. Myers, wife of the City
Engineer, is one Of the heirs which are
being sought after by Sheriff McKin-
ney in regard to the settlement of the
late p. w Armstrong; estate. Mrs.
Myers is a daughter of the deceased.
Armstrong died a while ago and left
two sections of land in Texas, but the
deeds for the same could not be found.
The sheriff recently received a letter
from w. d. Beeson, of Lubbock. Tex.
which has, eventually, brought the mat
ter to a satisfactory conclusion. An
investigation for the deeds has been
going on for years.

BRYAN
Loses Decision in Ben
nett Will Case.

New Haven Conn. March 2.-JudgG
Thayer of the superior court today
handed down decision In the case In
which William j. Bryan seeks to have
,~e court construe the will of the late
Philo S. Bennett. in which decision
demurrer to substitute answer is sus-
tanned.
The demurrer was filed by Judge
Stoddard, counsel for Mrs. Bennett.
The answer was filed by counsel for
Mr.. Bryan.
The answer was an effort to set up
facts so that the formers sealed letter
should be regarded as declaration OF
a trust fund for Bryan amounting to
$4,000. This question OF whether tho
letter is trust or not was left open
by Judge Cleaveland of the probate
court, when he admitted the Bennett
will, minus the letter
Judge Thayer's decision in sustain
ing the demurrer is to the effect that
the value of the sealed letter as decla-
ration of trust cannot be raised in the
action brought for the construction of
the will. 1t can be considered in the
other two cases which were brought to
the court in reference to the Bennett
estate.
In order to determine whether the
sealed letter is a declaration of trust
still another suit will probably have to
be brought

American and National League com
mittee on schedules could not come to
a decision on the question of arrang-
ing non-connicting dates for the base
ball season OF 1904 In joint meeting
at National League headquarters to-
day, the committees on rules arrived
at satisfactory settlement of pro-
posed changes. Both committees held
two sessions today and the commit
tees on schedule will hold another
session tomorrow morning at which it
is expected that non-confiicting dates
will I've adopted.
President Johnson, of the American

both schedules would be perfected to-
morrow He also said that in all prob
ability his organization would an
nounce its schedule tomorrow after
noon while that of the National
league would not be announced until
Friday.
The much talked of foul strike
rule. which was adopted by both
leagues last season will be retained
during the coming playing year. A
post season series of seven games
for the National championship was
agreed upon. The competing teams
will be the pennant winners OF l.
The only radical change made in the
rules was one which will permit two
coachers instead of one when one or
more men are on bases.
Late this evening the American
league delegates held brief session
at which they ratified the action of
the rules committee. No decision has
been rendered as yet in regard to the
Sunday games at Ridgewood. but ac
