DYNAMITE WRECKS TRAIN.
Explosion Demolishes Sleepers and
Kills Twenty Passengers at
Harrisburg, Pa.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 13.-Two more
victims of the wreck of the Cleveland
and Cincinnati express, on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at South Harrisburg
Thursday morning, died Friday, bring
ing the total number of victims to %.
TWO others are in a critical condition.
Sixteen of the dead have been identified.
The bodies of the others are so horribly
charred and burned that it is doubtful
If they will ever be positively identified.
The wrecked train was the second
section of the Cleveland and Cincinnati
express, leaving Philadelphia at 11:05
O'Clock Thursday night. 1t consisted
of combination baggage and smoking
car, one day coach and six sleepers.
There are various stories of how the
wreck occurred, but the official version
is as follows: About lao o'clock the
engine on an east-bound freight train
was tagged by the crew of shifting
engine ahead on the same track. The
engineer quickly put on his air brakes,
and the train, an unusually long one.
came to sudden halt The strain on
IhC OIL NoiNOo was d severe one, ana
connecting air hose in the middle of the
train blew out. This caused the middle
of the train to buckle and the dam
aged cars fell over on the passenger
tracks. Just IS this happened the
Cleveland express came laundering I'D
and "side-swiped" the wreck The ex-
press was stopped. within it's own
length, and the third sleeper was oppo-
site the wrecked ears.
Before anyone could leave the pas
senger train, which was not very badly
damaged, few slight explosions &C.
CURED, and then there was one great
flash and roar that shook the earth.
The whole affair occurred within a
period of few seconds. A scene of
horror followed the explosion of the
dynamite. The passenger cars and
some of the freight cars instantly took
fire. AS the reverbation of the ter
rife explosion died away across the
Susquehenna river, the agonizing
cries of the injured could be heard.
Sam S. Shubert, the well-known
New York theatrical manager, died at
$3.50 o'clock Friday at the Common.

Private Car Lines.

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought I'M
der the jurisdiction of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. A railroad
president is authority for the state
ment that lines are paid mileage, with
out discrimination, and the question Of
excessive charges is a matter for the
shipper to settle with the car lines, so
long as there is no law to govern their
rates. Car mileage paying has been de-
cided to be as legal as the payment of
rental for property.

In the patent Office reports one is
struck with the multitudes of small
inventions which are constantly being
patented in Washington. And a glance
at the records would show how many
of them have been put into use all
over the world and are practically in
dispensable. Enormous fortunes have
been and are made from these simple
contrivances. Take, for instance, the
copper toed shoe. This is seldom
seen to-day except in the rural dis
tricts, but during the year it was in
use the inventor made $50, 900 to $780,

the supply of this variety of Ameri.

is most in demand is that which may

DR.. Pierce's unparalleled success with

without the use of alcohol (using chem
