paper. His relatives here had cen
unable 70 locate him, ewing to the
fact that he expected TO to abger (
Temporarily and left no address. and
he was not aware Of his father :
tragic death until he read the story
ia the newspapers, He wired that he
would make an effort to set here in
time for the funeral.
ARRIVED AT MIDNIGHT.
Mr.. Nelson 7. Pike. jr son Of tie
late Nelson T. Pike, who was buried
MoHday. arrived in this city Monday
ni at on the Duquense. several hours
at his fathers funeral Mr.. Pike
haG been at Lost City. w. Va, and
il Mps not until Monday that he
learned Of his fathers death. He made
every effort to get here in time for
the funeral, but on account Of the rail-
road connection from that place was
unable to get here. The family were
several DAYS locating him, and had al
most given up hone, when he te,e-
graphed. after seeing the account of
the death in the papers.

steel rails were broken in two like
pipestems. An uuusual incident was
the breaking Of wires il two, half
ways between telegraph poles. the

The most marvellous thing Of all was
tile escape Of James Laing. the driver
Of the team, and the horses. Lsing

the engine struck the wagon. He was
down low aud the force Of the ex-
plosion passed over him. When he
revived he found himself against a
telegraph pole. He was able to talk
and will be all right in a day or two.
The front running gear of the wagon
was net hurt. All three tracks were
blocked and it was necessary TO send
passenger traffic around the Pinto
cutoff. Conductor Charles Shipley,
of the wrecked train. used hand car
to Evitts Greek TO convey the
news of the catastrophe to railroad
headquarters at Cumberland. All the
wires were down and the information
was telecranhed via Evitts Greek.
CARE OF THE WOUNDED.
A special train was made up at
Cumberland and taken to the scene.
The dead and those badly injured
were taken to Cumberland on the
train.
Brakeman Whitehair, who was on
the engine at tie time. was killed al
most instantly 1t required the
strength of four or five men to get En-
gineer Pike away from the throttle.
He laid on top of the overturned
boiler, Buried in steam ana his hands
having deathlike clutch on the tbrot-
tie. He was also pinioned BY broken
iron.
1t was marvellous that nore Were
not injured. considering the large
number of persons living anR working
in the immediate vicinity. The
ground shook as if by an earthquake
when the explosion occurred. and the
noise was most deafenipg.

by an Exploding Lamp.
What might have been serious fire
at the home of DR.. NJ. y. Butler, in
Hedgesville, Monday. was averted
by the prompt action of the members
of the family and the timely aid OF
neighbors. Miss Edna Butler was
going to her room shortly after IL
O'Clock, when the lamp she was carry

to the floor. The lamp exploded. scat.
tering the burning oil over the carpet.
and the whole interior of the room
was instantly ablaze. Members of the
family and some friends hastened to
the scene and succeeded in extineuish-
ing the fire before it communicated
to other parts of the house. Almost
all the contents Of the room were de-
stroyed, but there was no damage to
any other part Of the house except
that caused by smoke. The insurance
will cover the loss. Que or two MEM
ers of the family of DR.. Batter were
slightly burned.

the house of Charles Hamilton was
torn inside and out. The furniture
was wrecked and all the china aud
crocserv broken. A vessel could not
be gotten for water with which to
battle the wounded. as all were broken.
The scene is one OF perfect destruc-
ton. Parts of the engine were huiled
many yards. and pickles and drugs,
with which several of the ears were
loaded, were scattered in all directions.
One of the hind tires OF the dyna-
mite wagon was hurled or top Of a
telegram pole. where it hung fast.
HORSES AND WAGON BLOWN UP.
The horses aligbted in an adjacent
field 90 yards from the scene of the
explosion, vet, despite this, they were
little hurt.
The wagon was carried down the
track so feet before the dynamite ex-
ploded. The explosion emptied pillows
in several houses, while IN the com
missary. poker hanging against tie
wall was driven through partition
and buried three feet in a mattress
on bed in another room. An oak
tree near the explosion was entirely
depuded of leaves. 1t was at first
thoughtthat the engine exploded. but
this was found to be mistake
The cylinder head of the engine was

engine was lifted IS feet. II is re-
ported that there was another wagon

Investigator OF ncath ofRngineer Pike
aud Brakeman ehitehair Results In
Verdict of Unavoidable Accident.
The investigation Of the coroner )
jury into the death OF Enpineer Pike
and Brakeman Whtehair, who were
killed in the wreck caused BY the
dynamite explosion at North Branch
Friday. resulted in veruict Saturday
afternoon stating in substance that the
accident was unavoidable.
The jury recommended, however,
that the railroad companies and con-
tractors be more cautious in handling
dynamite.
James Laine, driver of the wagon
which was loaded with dynamite that
caused the explosion, testified before
the jury that he did not see the train
nor hear the whistle until the wagon
was on the crossing, The Investigation
was conducted in very thorough
manner. States A ATTORNEY A. A. Wilson
acting for the state, while State Sena.
tor David J. Lewis appeared for the
Baltimore q ohio railroad.
Several witnesses testified that the
engineer hlew the usual whistle signal
for North Branch, while others testi.
fed that Driver Lainc tried to get bis
wagon over the crossing and leaped
when he saw collision unavoidable.
The injured fireman. A. X. Sanders,
who was badly sealded, and Grant
Hamilton. who are at the Hospital, are
Improving.
IL is expected that some heavy dam.
age suits will follow. The villagers
suffered heavily in tho wrecking oi
their homes, and it is n matter OF
doubt as to who will be made re-
sponsible for the damages. The rail
road people feel that they are net re
sponsible being heavy sufferers them
selves. III the finding Of the ooroner's
| jury THAT the accident was unavoid
able should he upheld in court it Ii
improbable that damages could be re
covered from anyone. The Marvlane
law Is rigid on the handliog Of dyna
mite and especially forbids the haul
ing of the explosive at a pace taste
than walk. 1t was stated by som,
that the dynamite wagon was an
preaching the crossing at a trot.
