Crashes Into Huge Log.

W~ilkesbarre, Pa. April. Chained
to the main track of the Lehigh Val
ley railroad near. Sayre to wreck pas
senger train No. 20, Thursday night,
a big log failed in its purpose by a
remarkable chance. The train,
crowded with passengers, was upon II
before the engineer saw it. There
was no time to stop, and the train
struck it with such force that the pilot
broke the log in two and tore loose
the Chains which held it. The engine
staggered from the blow, the hangel
of a driving wheel broke and the
engine swayed from side to side anc
was then stopped by the air brakes.
Detectives are now trying to dis
cover some clew to the train wreckers.

an exhaustive examination by the in
dustrial commission. authorized by
congress June IS. 1898, in Il review of
evidence the commission reported as
follows:
1T has been charged as Il matter
of general belief on the part of almost
all the opponents of the Standard Oil
company that these determinations in
various forms have been continually
received, ven up TO date. On the 9TH

MED in toto and most emphatically by
avery representative of the Standard
Oil company with reference to all cases
excepting one, which they claim was a
mistake. the amount of freight due be-
ing promptly paid on discovery of the
error. The Standard Oil company not
merely challenged the opponents to
bring forth proof of any case, but pro-
