FATAL TRAIN WRECK

Harrisburg, Pa, May 12.-An ex-
press train on the Pennsylvania rail
road ran into freight train in which
there were two cars loaded with dyna-
mite at ITO o'clock in the morning in
South Harrisburg, near the plant of
the Paxtang Light, Heat & Power com
pany.
Three terrific explosions that broke
windows all over the city followed,
and the two trains were completely
wrecked and took fire. 1t is estimated
that so persons were killed and 100 in
jured, though these figures may be too
small.
1t is impossible to ascertain the ex-
act number of fatalities, because in the
wreckage many of the passengers and
members of the train crews are still
pinned and many small explosions are
occurring.
Some of the cars landed down an EN-
bankment and some rolled into the
Susquehanna river, which parallels the
railroad in that locality.

gether for the last round Britt Jump
ed at his man and kept right on top
of him. 1t was hit and clinch again.
The Californian had cut loose with
his right and waded in, swinging both
hands. He took Whites punches
eagerly and landed harder ones in
return. The fury of his attack was
irresistible. Whites guard was beat
en- down, and then came that dreadful
swing to the jaw that ended the fight
and kept the championship of the
world in America
George Harting, the veteran time

the most clever and scientific fight he
had ever seen. white is a marvel of

TORNADO.

Marquette, Kan, May 10.-Twenty-
four persons are known to have been
killed and over 35 were injured in
tornado, the most disastrous in the
history of central Kansas, which swept
over this portion of the state at mid
night. One large section of Marquette,
where the principal loss of life occurr-
ed, was entirely wiped out. Reports
from the surrounding country show that
the destruction of life and property
was widespread, and the list of dead
and injured is growing constantly. A
storeoom has been converted into a
temporary morgue, and at 9:30 o'clock
"a dead bodies have been brought in.
Following the storm the utmost con-
fusion prevailed, and it will be some
time before the actual extent of the
storm is known.
When daylight broke over the town
it found the entire population in state
of panic. Business was entirely sus-
pended and everyone who escaped in
jury turned his attention toward aid
ing the wounded.
The tornado formed three miles south
of Marquette anud did not lose its
force until it had passed many miles
north of the town. In Marquette the
residence portion west of the main
street suffered the most particular dam
age. The houses in the course of the
tornado were, with two or three excep-
tions, completely wrecked. In this
section there were number of modern
sidences, of which only one, the house
of K. A. Thomson, was left standing
The Swedish Luthern and Methodist
churches were among the first build
ings struck, and they, together with
the parsonage adjoining the Methodist
church, were completely demolished.

Life's Surperfiuous THINGS.

An English writer has been devotine
his attention to the elimination of I'M
necessary things, and has succeeded in
presenting a tentative list of articles
which mankind does not need. Like
many other propagandists of new
cult he goes to extremes in certain
instances but, on the whole, makes out
a pretty good case. He holds to be,
gin with, that the resident of a city
does not require watch He goes
so far as to say that an umbrella Is
not Indispensable and cited Lord Bea-
consfeld who never carried am am.

it rained he took refuge under the UNI
brella of the prettiest woman he could

Mrs. MEDIA Kempter, wife of Richard
Kempter Of Syracuse, N. Y, has iden-
titled the remains of the Cutler mount
ain victim as those of her daughter,
Mrs. Bessie Boughton, and has left
with the remains for New York The
identification was made complete by
the dental work upon the teeth and
by a scar upon the right ride of the
left foretinger, as well as by the hair.
The mother charged that Milton
franklin Andrews att mpted to muir
der the girl by poison while on the
Pacific coast. ard this convirces the
police that if they can capture An

a murder charge against him.
The body of Bessie Roughton was
found ON Cutler mountain, south of
this city, on the afternoon of Deem
Der II. 1904 by DR.. Chamberlain and
party of friends. Death was caused
by 80 caliber bullet being fired into
the head. Every article of clothing
was removed by the murderer and the
body placed across the stump of a
tree, face downward. In the effort to
prevent recognition of the body, the
murderer poured gasoline upon the
" and built fire under the face
1 the exhaustive dental work upon
teeth was not destroyed, and it
this work which has led to the
ifcatiOu Of the victim.
