A Horrible Accident Befalls
School Children at Pleasant
Ridge, Ohio, Today
FLOOR OF THE VAULT GIVES WAY
Over Twenty Little Girls are Precipi-
tated Into the Filth and Nine are
suffocated to Death, While Many
Others May Die From Internal Pois-
oning-SchooI Room a Moreue.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 2S.-During
school at Pleasant Ridge, about twenty
miles north of the city, the children
made a playful rush into an clubhouse
which gave way, precipitating about
twenty of them into the vault. -Four
dead already have been recovered and
more are still buried in the vault.
Nine bodies have been recovered.
1t is believed there are several more
children in the vault, as it is estimated
twenty-five fell with the floor. The
statement is made that the joists un-
der the flooring gave way suddenly,
precipitating all in the outhouse into
the vault. The populat ton Of the viii
lage soon surrounded the school
grounds and the excitement was in
tensified by the complaints of parents
against the school officers who said
the building and grounds were i'm
spected before the opening of school
two weeks ago. All sorts of utensils
were brought into use as teachers
and citizens searched for the victims.
AS each child was brought to the sur
face it was taken into the school room,
which was transformed into morgue.
After nine dead bodies had been re-
covered twelve were rescued alive. The
vault was thoroughly dredged, and the
drenched rescuers abandoned the
search. All the victims We're girls, the
oldest aged twelve. The nine who
were killed served to fill up the vault
so the other twelve were not drowned.
1t is feared many of the rescued will
die on account of the internal poison
ing from filth.
The dead: Carmen Card, aged nine;
Hazel Glover, nine; Edna Thee, ten;
Florence Foerste, eight; Emma Stein
kamp, twelve; Hesse -.

INCOMPETENT CREW
Inspectors Report On the sIocum Dis
aster Severely criticizes the Crew Of
the III Fated steamer-say Life
Preservers Would Not Have AvaiI.d.

New York, Sept. 23.-The steamboat
inspectors who made the inquiry
into the steamer General Slocum dis
aaster last June, when nearly thou
sand persons lost their lives, in their
report, revokes the licenses of Captain
Van Shaick, Edward Van Vert, pilot;
and Benjamin F. Conklin, chief engi-
nee. The board finds the life preser-
vers were inadequate; that their was
lack of dicipline on the part of the
crew because of the negligence OF
Van Shaick and Van Vert; that the
crew were ignorant and incompetent;
that Conklin was guilty of grass neg IL
gence in not seeing that the hose was
properly connected and water tur1led
on when notified the vessel was af re-.
Second Engineer Brandaw is hig aly
praised for remaining at his post
and manipulating the machine ry.
According to the inspectors view The
great mortality was due to the imp 0s-
sibility of equipping 1900 persons,
mostly children, in few minutes and
not to the age of the preservers. at is
our opinion" the report declares that
If the Slocum had been supplied with
double the quantity of life saving
equipments with crew as incompe-
tent as the crew Of the steamer proved
to be, not a single life more would
have been saved than was saved"

Canterbury and j. Pierpont
Morgan Wrecked Today
coLLIDEs WITH LIGHT ENGINE

But Injuries Are Not serious-Rest
of the Party Had Not Left Their
Berths and Escaped Without Serious
Injury.

East Broohfeld, Mass, Sept. 23.-
The special train conveying the Arch
bishop of Canterbury from Bar Harbor
to Washington was wrecked on the
Boston and Albany road here today.
The archbishop was not injured, a1t;lo
considerably shaken up. J. Pierpont
Morgan, accompanying the archbishop,
was shaken up but not hurt. The
wreck was caused by the collision of
light engine with the special! Several
trainmen were slightly hurt.
The special, which was one engaged
by Morgan or behalf Of the archbishop
was running at the rate of sixty miles
an hour. and was just passing the sta
ton when locomotive, which had
Brookfield branch, ran onto the main
line, for some reason at present unex-
planned. The engineer OF the special
sighted the G.anger, but owing to the
high speed and the slippery condition
of the rails found it impossible to do
more than slightly reduce the speed OF
his locomotive. Inc engineer OF the
branch engine heard the onrush of the
special, but had not time to move out
of the way. The archbishop's train
struck the engine with terrific crash
and demolished it. The other locomo-
tive turned from the rails and landed
across the east bound track The cars
did not leave the track. Withsthe arch
bishop, besides Mrs. Davidson and Mr..
!, Morgan, were Rev. Hyla Holden, and
Rev. ]. Ellison and attendants. None Of
the occupants OF the cars had left their
berths except. Morgan, who was at the
!. breakfast table when the crash came.
The large plate glass mirrors in the
cars were broken, as were some Of the
breakfast dishes. Morgan was sud-
denly thrown forward, but not pitched
from his seat. The members OF the
archbishop's party were also badly
shaken up, but none except the maid.
who was slightly cut in the face was
injured. The railroad officials sent a
combination of locomotive and two
special cars to Albany and the Journey

BIG LIABILITIES

The AuItman Company Of Canton
Ohio, in Charge of Receiver -
Iowa Conern's Failure Said to Have
Precipitated Bankruptcy Proceed
ings.

]. Sullivan, president of the Central
National Bank, of this city, who has
been appointed receiver of the Aultman
Company, of Canton, left here for the
latter city today to take charge of the
big plant.
Sullivan stated that until he had
thoroughly examined into the affairs
of the company he could make no
statement as to what would be done
The bankruptcy proceedings were
filed by the First National Bank OF
Blairsville, Pa, which ayers that it is
the holder of certain notes OF the Ault-
man Company due and unpaid, and de-
clares the concern is unable to meet its
obligations with numerous other cred
itors. 1t is stated the liabilities Of the
company are not less than a million
and a. half dollars. No estimate of the
assets have yet been filed. The pres
ent trouble was precipitated as the
result of the failure of the Cedar
Rapids Supply Company recently. The
Iowa concern, according to petition, is
a very large creditor of the Aultman
company.
The failure of the Arctic Machine
Company, of Akron, with liabilities
aggregating about half million re-
suited from the financial troubles of
the Aultman company. The latter con-
Germ manufactured all the machinery
handled by the Arctic company.

army officer, who arrived here the
night of Sept. Ii with Lieutenant Prince

woman to run the blockade from tbs

prince and his isxcompanion, Lieutenant
Christoforoff, who carried messages
from Lieutenant General Stoessel the
commander at Port Arthur to General

STAYS IN THE CHURCH
Rev. Allen Placed on the supernumer-
ary List by the Conference After Be-
ina Declared Insane-Had Resigned
s In Face of Charges.

Special to Tlmes-Republican.
Atlantic, Sept. 23.-The only thing
new that developed in the conference
this morning was the case OF Rev. Al
len. There was motion made and
carried that he be restored to his re-
llations in the church and that he be
placed on the supernumerary list. This
carries with it pension of from
nothing to $500 per year. He at the
same time is returned to full member
ship in the church and conference and
may on being pronounced fully sane
by competent authorities be returned
to work in the conference. The deci-
sion of the insane board and the ac-
ton of the conference this morning
has created great deal of satisfaction
in the conference. Many believed that
it was a dodge of Rev. Allen and his
wife TO escape the penalty of his all
legged actions. It is openly stated by
many that it is believed he is feigning
insanity, while others who were OPP
posed to him before now believe he is
insane.
year ago Rev. Allen was presiding
elder of the Atlantic district. He was
returned here as presiding elder by
Bishop Mallileau against the earnest
protest of many of the parishioners in
the district and nearly the whole num-
ber of pastors in the district. Dur
ing the winter he resigned in the face
Of a church trial, the charge being that
his conduct toward women was impro-
per.
After resigning he removed to Des
Moines, where he is living at the pre-
sent time.
Yesterday he arrived in town from
his home in Des Moines and was at
once taken before the commission for
the insane of Cass county. large
number of witnesse, both friends and
foes, were examined, including his wife
and some of the dignitaries of the
church. Rev. Allen himself was called
before the commission and gave testi-
mony in his own behalf.
After considering the matter and
taking into consideration large
amount of expert testimony, the COM
mission decided that he is insane and
recommended that he be given into
the charge of his wife.

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.

That oyama's forces are on the move
is indicated in today's advices, but
his strategy is not disclosed. kuropat-
kin reports the Japanese have assum-
ed the offenseive on Flu Pass, about
IL miles from Mukden, the object of the
movement being construed in St. Pet
ersburg as an attempt to isolate the
Russian columns guarding Fusun. Rus.
sian advices say the main purpose OF
the Japanese seems to be to turf. the
Russian left flank. The report that the
Vladivostok squadron has left the Port
is not confirmed by the admiralty. To-
kio reports engagements on September
goth between, the Japanese advance de :
tachments and Russian force at Tiel-
ing and SanIungku. 1t is not clear
whether or not Tie Pass s meant.

good wind and the moon was bright.
We were successful in avoiding the
danger of the first Japanese blockad-
| ing line. We came up to the second
| line when the moon was under cloud.
| Searchlights were flashing on all sides
but our junk was not discovered.
1--WE suddenly discovered ourselves
close to another junk with a Japanese
crew on board. They presumably were
pirates, but we outsailed them and
drew away.
''At o'clock the next morning we
saw steamer coming in our direction.
1t had the appearance of. a cruiser, and
was terribly frightened. When we
saw the cruiser Prince RadzivilS and
stretched myself out OH deck and cover
ed my self with dirty blankets. Chin
ese were lying at my feet and at my
sides, and for an hour, although nearly
smothered, J. kept my position.
Il never utter more thankful prayer
than when I was Informed that the
steamer we had seen was red cross
vessel and that it's captain had no in
tention of overhauling us.
Wonderful things are being done
by the staffs of the different hospitals
at Port Arthur, who are assisted by
women. There are thirty nurses for
each thousand patients. The women
devote most of their time to the max
ing OF clothes for the soldiers. The
laundry work is done by the poor wo-
men and the wives of enlisted men. The
sick and wounded are thus kept sup
piled with clean clothing. The laundry
work has to be done in dreadful heat.
Deaths From Fly Bites.
.sI here are no contagious diseases
ct Port Arthur, but many deaths are
resulting from the bite of a large red
headed fly which feeds on the decom-
POSING corpses scattered over the bat
tlef1elds. A doctor who was bitten
on the thumb by one Of these flies
instantly severed that member. He
then had his arm amputated, but not
before the poison had reached his heart.
The result of the bite was fatal.
Every day In the week the band
plays at one of the hospitals.
re wouifded men reeoNer quickly
from wounds inflicted by Maxim pio-
jectiles and by the bullet of the Csa-
ka rifle, but the wounds resulting from
explosive bullets are awful and recov-
cry is impossible.
Old Town Is Wrecked.
The cid town of Port Arthur is al.
most entirely wrecked. Tie streets
arc filed with holes made by axpiod-
ing shells. The loss of life in Port
Arthur from the bornbardmenls has
teen remarkably small. Once couris-
ed fifty Japanese shells fired at
Ilussian battery, not one of whish
reached it's mark.
