FfutRAL COURT CLOSES
May Term Ends With Two Ac-
quittaIs Thursday Afternoon.
IMPRESSION MADE BY DAYTON
Makes Splendid Judge and Pleases
His Friends and Political
Enemies as Well.

The May term of the federal court
came to close Thursday when
the jury in the case of j. A. Speck.
of Hamilton. w. Va, brought Ia q
verdict of not guilty of the charge of
selling Intoxicating drinks under the
guise of pop.
Another case that was concluded
was that of John Hartman, who
was charged with passing counterfeit
quarters at Terra Alta. The govern
ment likewise failed to make out a
case In this. and the jury promptly
acquitted the accused.
THE NEW JUDGE.
This being Judge Dayton's first
appearance on the bench In Martins
burg, the term has aroused no slight
dergee OF interest and curiositv among
many of the local lawyers. as we'll AS
among number of leading ~epr bli.
cans and democrats, who were uncer.
tain as to just how the new judge
wonld meaure M to the requirements
Of his exalted position. 1t was remem-
bered by manv that Mr.. Davton's
elevation had been opposed on the
ground that he WAS not "biR" enough
for the position-was not well enough
grounded in law, and lacked those
attributes which had made Judge
Jackson conspicuous figure in thu
judiciary.
Ii can be stated. however, that
Judge Dayton has made a most favor.
able impression upon oil who have
been present during this session OF
court. There has been air of solid
ity. Of reserve strength, Of calmness
and iInpartiality abort the nan that
hes been source of qualification to
his friends and political enemies alike.
and which has brought to the surface
depths Of characters and broadness of
mind hitherto unsupported in him ex-
cept by his closest associates.
Like most men of real parts. he does
not assume to know it all, ia open TO
reasonable suggestions, and does not
find it difficult to confess lack OF
ready grasp OF certain obscure points
OF law. He as shown consideration
and courtesy to all, has met the diff
culties of his position with prompt
ness and frankuess. and has 20 temper
ed justice and mercy in his sentences
as TO bring about most delicate and
exact balance between the TWO.
Judge Davtcn realizes. of course, that
he is tilliug a big pair of shoes, and
that he will be meaured by high

TWENTY DEAD IN A WRECK
Terrible Accident on Road In
Harrisburg This Morning,
PROBABLY 100 ARE INJURED
Fast Passenger Tram Plunges Into
Two Derailed Cars Loaded
With High Explosive.

With High Explosive.
Harrisburg, Pa, May IL
One of the most terrible rail
road accidents of recent years
occurred shortly after l O'Clock
this morning in the southern
portion of this city, when a fast
passenger train on the Penn
sylvania road plunged into two
freight cars loaded with dyna-
mite, exploding the deadly
stuff and making a complete
wreck of the coaches and
sleepers.
The cars containing the dyna.
mite were derailed and thrown
onto the passenger track in
front of the flying train. Three
terrific explosions took place in
swift succession, and human
bodies were hurled from the
berths in the sleeping cars, many
going down the steep enbank-
ment and several being thrown
into the Susquehanna river.
To add to the horror of the
situation, the demolished cars
of both trains were fired, and
dozens of helpless victims were
held in the debris until killed
by the flames.
The three main explosions
were followed by a number of
smaller ones, as individual cases
of the dynamite let go and the
work of rescue was greatly re-
tarded by the impossibility of
reaching the mass of wreckage.
The fire department. was inn
mediately sent to the scene, as
well as the police department.,
and the work of rescue was
commenced as soon as possible
The terror-stricken passen-
gers who had e. capped the awful
carriage were found flying
about half,dressed and wholly
dazed, and these were sent to a
place of safety. Scores of wo-
men and children had been
awakened from their sleep to
find themselves in a perfect hell
of horror, and a few were either
subsequently killed or injured
through their inability to fly.
The agonizing cries of those
who had been pinned in the de.
bris were heartrending. All
the physicians of the city were
soon on the scene, and the work
of attending the injured was
accomplished rapidly. Factories
in the vicinity were used as
temporary hospitals, and cabs,
ambulances and other vehicles
were pressed into service to con-
vey the more seriously injured
to the Harrisburg hospital,
which was soon taxed to it's
utmost capacity.
Up to noon Friday 20
dead bodies had been removed
from the wreck or located be-
meath the debris. 1t is estimated
that a several more bodies
are yet among the blackened
and twisted iron and wood.
The injured will number
about 100. Some of them may
die.
The shock of the explosion
threw a lamp from a table in
the home of Mrs. Martin, on
South Sixteenth street, setting
fire to the house. Before the
blaze could be extinguished six
houses were DESTROYED.
