ESCAPE DEATH.
BROKEN RAIL CAUSE OF ACCIDENT
LARGE NUMBER OF PERSONS IN
JURED, ONE FATALLY AND
SIX SERIOUSLY.

Johnstown, Pa, Aug. "A train
from lockwood to Johnstown over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad was
wrecked eight miles from this city
One woman was fatally injured and
probably half dozen others SO badly
hurt that they had to be taken to the
hospital, while large number were
scratched and bruised.
That the forty passengers on the
train escaped death is little short OF
miraculous. Owing to broken raj
the cars left the track, the engine anc
tender remaining on the rails. The
baggage car rolled down the long ano
steep embankment, turning over and
over and finally landed in the creek,
standing on the wheels. The smoker
went only part way down the bank
turning over but once, and the follow
ing coach did not go so far from the
tracks, being held in place by tele
graph pole.
AS soon as word of the wreck
reached Johnstown special train was
made up and hurried to the scene
carrying physicians and nurses, anc
in two hours after the wreck occurred
the injured were being cared for i1

visit of a British, fleet to the Baltic sea

stead of, as has been suggested in
some quarters, adding to the friction

to the admiralty, in reply to questions,
said definitely that no protests regard

FEW FREIGHTs MOVING
STRIKE SITUATION ON GREAT
NORTHERN AND NORTHERN
PACIFIC UNCHANGED.
BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
STRIKERS AND RAILROAD OFF,.
GALS RElTERATE CLAIMS
TO ASSURED SUCCESS.

st. Paul. Aug. 4.-The te4egraphers'
strike sit1htion on the Northern Pa
cifc and Great Northern roads is prac.
tically unchanged. While the passen.
ger trains on both roads are kept NOV.
ing very little freight is being handled
and only between important points.
Large quantities of freight in the az.
gregate are being refused, particularly
perishable goods. Carload lots are
given the preference and handled
wherever possible.
President Perham Of the Order o.
Railway Telegraphers and the general
managers Of both roads reiterate their
claims to assured success.
Advices from the Willmar and SioHx
Falls divisions of the Great Northern
are that trains are being operated
either by telephone or are running
without orders.
A special from Grand Forks says
passenger trains are running as usual,
conductors taking the fares The
freight and express business is, how.
ever, described as badly crippled.
Advices from Minot, N. D., are to
the effect that 48 per cent of the sta
tions between Williston and Grand
Forks are in working order. Nfty
men are idle at Minot.
From Helena, Mont, advices indis
cate that both the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific are moving trains by
means of a tagging system worked
by hand cars.
From different points in Montana
comes the news that passenger trains
on both roads are from thirty minutes
to nine hours behind schedule time.
Executive, officials of both the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific admit
that the strike is the most complete
that organized effort has ever brought
about on their systems. In spite 6f
this, however, they claim they are net
seriously crippled.

There was an abundance of such labor,

now as high, practically, as in Amer

utterly inadequate treatment until they
fall into the hands of doctor are con-
sidered as partly responsible for the
heavy mortality among the unfortu-
nate Italians who have fallen victims
to yellow fever. It is said investiga-
tions have shown that heavy food like
macaroni and bananas has been taken
by members of the race after the
fever has fastened its clutches on
them That means almost certain
death, for in the treatment now pre-
scribed by the doctors no solid food
of any kind is given during several
days of patients illness. Milk is the
principal diet with alkalin waters and
the juice of watermelon to work on
the kidneys. To allay nausea the doc
tors prescribe small pieces of ice to
be dissolved in the mouth. Many of
the Italians die because they do not
get this treatment until too late. Com
paratively few outside of Italians have
been attacked and some of these ex-
ceptions are already on the streets

The situation continues to be viewed
