Simon watched her wistfully as she

from her until she had entered woody

brook and the Taunston farmhouse.

apprehension has again been some

the conference question has been en-

Cleveland, O., June 22.-While ira
yelling at the rate of seventy miles
an hour, the famous Twentieth Cen
tury Limited, the fastest long dis
tance train in the world, ran into an
open switch at the little town of
Mentor, east of Cleveland at 9:20
last night, causing one of the most
horrible accidents in the history of
the Lake Shore road. Twenty-one per
sons are dead as a result of the
wreck.
The engine was hurled into the
ditch. Part of the train was crushed
was partly burned. The train was
crowded with passengers, practically
all it's accommodations being taken
when it left the city 1t was behind
time and the greatest speed was be-
ing made to make up time.
A peculiarly distressing feature Of
the rescue work was that the injured
people were so crazed when they
were taken from under the mass of
wreckage that they could not even
reveal their identity.
Assistant General Superintendent
d. C. Moon, of the Lake Shore, who
was on the scene soon after the
wreck occurred, gave out the follow
ing statement: $50 far as can be
learned the switch was opened and
probably a crank. and evidently with
malicious purposes. Train No. 10,
| east-bound. passed through the same
switch AS minutes ahead of No. 26
and the switch was all right at that
| time. 1t is positively known that no
| other train or engine passed through
the switch between No. 10 and No.
26."
Travelling at the rate of more than
a mile a minute, the heavy train was
hurled to its doom with a momentum
that was appalling. The scene of the
accident was at the Mentor depot.
The switch that caused the trouble
is located about 13O yards west of
the depot AS the heavy engine struck
the switch, the engine left the main
track and swung violently 10 the
left. For a distance of twenty yards
the engine ran on the ties and then
| turned over on its side just east of
the depot The momentum was such
that the heavy tender was hurled ov-
er the engine and buried in the de-
pot. The combination car was nurl-
ed with terrific violence on top of
| the engine and in moment was
enveloped in flames. The Chicago
sleeper, Immediately behind crashed
into the depot and was -rompletely
burned in the wreck of the building.
4 The next sleeper following left the
track, but the rest remained on the
tracks.
An instant after the crash of the
wreck, the boiler of the great engine

The Roswell creamery is now run
ming in full blast. The first batch
of butter was turned out yesterday,
and it was as fine in quality as
could be asked. The first lot was 30
pounds, but the managers expect TO
increase the daily output to an am
ount far greater than the first days
lot. The creamery will now be in op-
Grafton every day. unless for some
unforeseen reason the supply of
cream is lacking
1t now becomes the duty of Roswell
people to do their part in the matter
by patronizing the home institution.
The creamery was secured largely
through the efforts of the Roswell
Commercial Club, and if their eff
forts are to amount to anything, .he
people must show their appreciation
by patronizing home industries. The
homemade butter can be secured at
the same price as the shipped in
product 1t is as good in every way
and the makers give a guaranty that
it is absolutely free from adultera-
tions and that the weight will be fuh
in every package. Full weight is not
always to be gotten in creamery but
