All people who possess jewels have
certain trinkets which they regard with
almost superstitious affection. Sarah
Bernhardt pins her faith to a necklace
of old nuggets, a gift from the Cali

leans to a set Of %sapphires which be
longed to Mary Antoinette. The sap
phire is the Queens favorite stone.
She wears as a brooch one Of great
size, given to her by the late Duke of
Coburg. But old Egyptian jewels are
considered the most potent guardians
of fortune. Mrs. st. John Brodrick
owns Egyptian gems of priceless value.
Mrs. Clarence Mackay has a weird

a pendant of emeralds, the most beau

SCORES DROWN IN TRAIN
Excursion on Atlantic Coast Line
Wrecked Near Norfolk, Va.
PASSENGERS TRAPPED IN CARS

Locomotive Draws Its Train Through
the Elizabeth River 49, Faulty Ali
Brakes Are Blsmed-Divers Work t.
Rescue the Drowning.
Norfolk, Va.-The second section of
all excursion train from Kinston, N.
c., ran into al open draw ON the west
ern branch of the Elizabeth River, and
two passenger coaches and the engine
plunged into thirty feet of water.
Divers were soon engaged in the
work of rescue. All the victims, with
possibly two exceptions, were negroes.
Officials of the Atlantic Coast Line
declare ignorance of orders or direct
carelessness is responsible for the
wreck. The draw, it is said, had been
opened to allow a tug to pass. Faulty
airbrakes. the engineer says, caused his
train to plunge through the open draw.
Six hundred and fifty passengers on
an excursion train from Rock Mount,
N. c., arrived here late in the evening.
They narrowly escaped the fate of the
negro excursion train. A delay of
fifteen minutes at Rocky Mount held
the train and placed the Kinston Sec
ton ahead.
But for this delay the fate of the
Rocky Mount train might have been
that which befell the Kinston train.
AS soon as the news of the catastro-
phe reached this city ten Norfolk ply
%sicians, a score of nurses and every
doctor in the city of Portsmouth hur-
ried to the scene.
The excursion train consisted of five
coaches, which contained about $50
persons.
The wrecked train was due to arrive
at Norfolk at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
Preceding this train was another ex-
curSion train over the same road,
bringing 300 negro excursionists from
Rocky Mount, n. C. Following the
wrecked train there was still another
excursion train, this being composed Of
merchants and others from Augusta,
Ga; Charleston, S. c., and Jackson
vile, Fla, bound to Baltimore. Md;
Philadelphia, Pa, and New York City
for the purchase of fall goods.
The first train arrived here at $50
o'clock in the morning without acct
dent. and the Augusta, Jacksonville
and Charleston merchants all left for
the North at night by water.
Engineer c. f. Riggs and the fireman
saw that the draw was open too late
to stop the train. When almost IN the
bridge the engineer applied the air
brakes, but they did not appear to
work properly. The two men jumped.
The engineer landed on the piling of
the bridge AID his face was seriously
cut. The fireman jumped in the water
and was not seriously injured. Con-
ductor w. L. Morris, of Greensboro, n.
c., was not injured, nor was the
brakeman.
The scene following the wreck was
one of in~describable confusion, with
the shrieking of men, women and chill
dren who were drowning and strug-
Cling out OF the submerged coach and
floating to rescue those who were I'M
prisoned in the cars. People in the
neighborhood went to the assistance
of those i'll the wreck and helped in the
rescue. The injured were taken to the
track embankment and were attended
there by the physicians. Between
twenty and thirty people were in the
front car. These were among the miss
ing, and it was thought that not one
escaped.

BY LANDSLIDE
Avalanche of Rock Crushes Many
Workman in Quarry.
Dozen Killed by Tons of Rock Near Al.
lentOwn, Pa.-Others Injured by
the Huge Mass of Stone.

Allentown, PA mass of limestone,
weighing thousands of tons, slid from
a side of the quarry of Mill A, of the
Lehigh Portland Cement Company at
Ormrod at noon, just five minutes be.
fore time to quit work, killing a dozen
men and injuring several others.
Twenty-Five men were at work in the
quarry, which is 1000 feet long, $50
feet across and 100 feet deep. The
heavy rains of the past two days had
softened the earth, and this caused the
slide of rock. Where the fallen mass
slipped away, a smooth and nearly
perpendicular wall was left, rising
sheer 100 feet above the bottom of the
quarry, while the entire quarry floor
was covered with broken, Jagged rock.
Only nine of the men got away safe
ly. -Four of these escaped by running
up on a mass of rock at the opposite
side of the quarry. The remaining
eighteen men occupied a space ten feet
square, and were crushed under the
falling rocks. All Of the men were
~Slavonians, who lived in quarters close
to the quarry.
Two men who saw the side Of the
quarry CULVER shouted a warning to
the workers. These misinterpreted the
calls, and failed to move out of the
way Of danger until it was too late.
With a laundering roar the mountain
of rock fell, pinning the victims fast.
All the men from the company's five
neighboring Quarries as well as the
rigging gang set to work at once to ex-
tricate the unfortunate laborers. They
used block and tackle, crowbars, n.y.
draulic jacks and picks to remove the
stone, many single pieces Of which
weighed several tons. Means were
heard coming from several places, and
to these the rescuers directed their
first efforts. They uncovered one man
after another, and at $50 got out the
last living man. His head and Shout
ders were exposed from the first, but
his legs were pinned fast by an enor-
nous boulder.
Six men were found huddled in one
place, four standing and two lying
down. Three were alive, but one died
before he could be released. Five ply
sicians were summoned and gave the
injured first aid on the scene and then
had them hurried in wagons to the AL
lentown hospitals. The dead were car
ried to the stockhouse.
Eight bodies were recovered before
dark.
Most of the men killed or injured are
single. Others had families in Austria.
A number of women from the foreign
colony ran to the quarry when the
news of the accident reached them and
worked with the men in the work of
rescue.

the Del Prado early in the evening to
do some shopping in Fifty-seyenth

grabbing Mrs. Mics well-flled pock-
etbook. Mrs. Wilson did not wait to
see what happened. She ran down the
street to the hotel, crying loudly for
help.
Mrs. Mize resisted the robber, at
tempting to retain hold on her purse,
and with her right hand tried to grab
the thief's revolver. The next instant
there was a shot, and Mrs. Mize sank
to the sidewalk, wounded in the right
hand and in the breast.
Mrs. Wilson and a maid, Hannah
Canlin, who was a witness to the rob-
berry and shooting from the opposite
side of the street, alarmed the hotel
people and the neighborhood. The rob-
berry occurred almost directly in front
of the residence of Alderman +. l.
Bennett.
The thief ran west in the alley open
ing in Fifty-eighth street, with a crowd
behind him. He easily distanced them.
He retained the purse, which it Is sup
posed contained several hundred dol
lars.
Mrs. Mize was carried back to the
hotel, where she died soon afterward.
The body IA removed to Jordan's
Morgue.
1T all happened so quickly" said
Mrs. Wilson, that / could not realize
it until l heard the shot and saw Mrs.
Mize lying on the sidewalk, with the
thief running up the alley. The man
had followed us two blocks, and we
both noticed him, but did not think he
was a robber."
Mrs. Wilson would not tell the police
anything about Mrs. Mize, and it re
quired urging to get her to say any
thing about the robbery. This silence
on her part led the police to believe at
first that there was some other expla-
nation than robbery for the shooting.
The Hyde Park police were at the
scene a few minutes after the shooting,
and Inspector Hunt drove up i'll his
buggy. A description of the thief was
sent to all police stations. Detectives
went to look for the man at the White
City and other amusement parks and
especially in Washington Park, where
the Inspector believed he might have
hidden himself. Other detectives were
sent to watch all elevated stations.
"It looks to me as though the man
was an amateur from the kind of
work." said Inspector Hunt. ut is
possible that Mrs. MiZe in reaching
for the revolver caused the weapon to
explode"
Mrs. Mize was forty-two years old,
and came to the hotel with Mrs. Will

husband having died a year ago.
