TO ARGUE ON CONSTITU-
TIONAL AMENDMENT
DISBURSEMENT Case to Come Up
Today at Annapolis.
NEWROADS BILL INCLUDED CASE
Expected That Court OF Appeals De-
cisiOn VIII Be Handed Down
Promptly

The mandamus case of Mr.. Murray
Nandiver against Governor Warfield
to test the validity of the proposed
Constitutional amendments to dis
franchise iliterates and to empower
the State to give aid to'public roads
will be argued before the Court of
Appeals today. This arrangement,
through the courtesy and sanction of
Chief Judge McSherry of the Court of
Appeals, has been made by the coun-
sci on both sides as a matter of con-
yenience.
The decision of the Court of APP
peals is expected to be handed down
promptly, and will be eagerly awaited
by the politicians on both sides, who
will then know where they are at"
Should the Court reverse the lower
tribunal, and decide that the Poe
amendment was not properly passed
because of the lack of the Governors
appr oval and signature, that would
be the end of the matter for the pres
ent. On the other hand, should the
Court of Appeals affirm the action of
the Circuit Court of Anne Arundel
county, and sustain the validity of
the amendment, both parties will at
once begin the campaign for and
against the measure. AS heretofore
stated, on the assumption that the
court of last resort will sustain the
amendment, Democratic Chairman
Vandiver has already done much pre-
liminary work toward organization.
Republican Chairman Hanna is also
closely watching the situation, and if
necessary. will be prepared to com
mence an active campaign as soon as
the decision of the Court of Appeals
is announced.

At nine o'clock Sunday morning
one of the rarest accidents in railroad
ing took place few hundred yards
west of the Baltimore and Ohio sta
ton at Mountain Lake Park, two
miles east of Oakland when the boil
er of passenger engine No. 1000, ex-
ploded, resulting in the death of two
men-the fireman of the locomotive
and the front brakeman of the train
who was riding on the engine-and
the serious injury of the. engineer and
slight injuries to the conductor.
! The dead are
Fireman John l.. Simpson, aged
about 80 years, unmarried, who re-
sided with his parents in South Cum
berland, where they conducted a
grocery store.
Brakeman Frank johnson, of Bal
timore, who boarded in Cumberland.
He leaves no near relatives.
Engineer A. w. Stanhagen, also of
South Cumberland, sustained badly
broken left leg and dislocated should
er, besides a bruise to his right hip,
the latter injury, however, being of a
minor nature.
Conductor Howell, of Grafton, who
was in the caboose at the time, was
pitched against his desk by the sud
den stoppage of the train and sustain
ed number of cuts 10 his head and
| face
The explosion of the boiler occurred
while the train was running at about
twenty miles an hour and just as the
engineer released the whistle lever
after blowing for the signal at the
Park tower. The boiler let go with
out the slightest warning, blowing

down the embankment to the right of
the track. He struck the earth in a
marshy place. his body as it passed
through the air describing the arc of
a circle. Beside him was found one
OF the air chambers from the engine
and also piece of friedrich from the
! engine. The brick was still red hot
and was so close that it set the unfor-
tunate mans shoe on fire, but he sue
ceeded by throwing snow on the fire
to extinguish it. He was soon found
| by some citizens of Loeb Lynn
Heights and taken INTO Cuppett's
store where he was kept until team
could be procured when he was con-
veyed to the McComas Sanitarium
where his injuries were dressed by
Drs. McComas and Legge. Mr.. STAN
hagen is still an inmate of the hospit-
al here and will remain until he is en-
tirely recovered.
The body of Fireman Simpson was
found underneath the tender of the
engine, which left the track. When
found the man WAS still breathing,

shops at Mount Clare II month ago
where it had been overhauled and

Bolden Il Co., and shipped to their
respective homes on train No. - Sun

steam and water from the boiler that
it was at once seen nothing could be
done to save his life. He was brought
to the hospital, however, and his last
moments made as painless as posi-
BILE. Death ensued about two hours
afterward.
The body of Brakeman Johnson was
blown forward from the boiler and
was discovered lying on the track
some fifty yards ahead of the point
where the engine exploded. John
son was dead when found, the entire
back portion of his head having been
blown away.
Conductor Howell's injuries were
not of serious nature. He was at
tended by DR.. McComas who band ag-
ed his face and head.
The force of the explosion was so
great that the boiler was stripped of
cab, brass fittings, stack and ether
fixtures, torn from the wheels and
blown ahead of the rest of the train
for distance of hundred feet or
more. The tremendous wheels and
running gear which weigh fifteen to
twenty tons, was turned completely
over, the framework being twisted
and torn in an inconceiyable manner.
The boiler after it left the trucks fell
across the 81 de track and west bound
track, completely blocking bot III.
From the appearance of the wrecked
boiler the crownsheet was first to give
way. This was stripped completely
from the point where it was curved
over the fireboX and down one side,
tearing way countless heavy stay
bolts. The front portion of the boiler
was found several hundred feet ahead
of the rest of the wreck.
The tender of the locomotive rolled
and slipped down the embankment
but was only slightly damaged.
OF the train but three cars were
wrecked, one being loaded with

was thrown on its side ana slid end

were taken out after the end had been
chopped way by some men living at
Loeb Lynn. The most remarkable
thing being that none of the animals
were seriously hurt. The other two
wrecked cars remained on the road

moved one was thrown over the bank
where it was burned.
Engineer Stanhagan in converse
