DEAF AT 81 THROTTLE.
Train Sped Past Signals After tho
Eugincer Was Killed.

Euginoor Was Killed.
William It. Stoot, of Harrison, N.
j., the flreman Of the fast Flying
Virginian, the chesapeake and Ohio
railroad through express to ST. Louis,
which left Jersey City at 6:52 O'Clock
last evening, saved the lives Of his
passengers by taking charge Of the
locomotive after the engineer, Dan
Mahoney, had been killed In the cub.
When StoOt grasped the throttle and
slackened the speed the train had al.
ready passed at least two danger
signals.
The train made Trenton on sched
ule time last night, but pulled out
OF that city with a smoking journal.
Mahoney was afraid Of thai journal
and kept q watch on 1t as he sped
alorg g. To do so he had to lean out
Of tie cab while he kept n hand on
the throttle. Ooce he bent too far
forward out Of his csb window to get
a glimpse Of the defective journal and
his head was struck by q signal post.
Death was probably instantaneous.
The locomotive gathered steam
and picked up speed. 1t was Of the
big hogback type, and it Is, therefore
engineer. TO Fireman Stool the
train seemed to have attained the
velocity Of q cannon ball. He had
hardly a moments lull in his work OF
shoveling on coal. AS he stopped to
mop the pe%rSpiration from his brow,
a lucky glance through the other side
Of the cab revealed q red light.
Dan" he yelled, but there was no
answer. Another instant a second
red light was passed. 1t was plain
that something was wrong and that
he and the passengers behind him, as
thilgS then stood, were riding to al.
most certain death. For Gods sake,
why don't you slow her up?" he again
called to the engineer. I'VE have
passed two red bugs. Check her,
Dan, for Gods sake" In the Ian.
guage Of railroad men rcd bug
means q danger signal.
Every moment the engine bounded
faster until the telegraph poles seem
ed to Stoot like lead pencils. After
his second warning cry he did not
wait for an answer, but began to
Chamber over into the engineers side
to Investigate. He found Mahoney
dead. His lifcless hand was Still OH
the throttle and his head, wet with
blood, rested on the edge Of the win
dow. Stoot slowed down the engine.
Then he took the train on to West
Philadelphia, after putting another
man at his own end OF the boiler.
Not q passenger MOI the conductor
knew Of the peril OF the train. Ma.
honey lived In Brooklyn, and the
body was sent there. He was 4C
years old. About a YER ago his
wife was killed in q trolley accident

TWGLVE M&M KILLED
BY D Largo Mass OF Stone Failing
Upon Thorn.

A mass Of limestone weighing
thousands Of tons slid from a side Of
the quarry OF mill a OF the Lahigt
Portland Cement company at Orm'
rod, P&., at noon Wednesday just five
minutes before time to quit work.
TWenty-seven men Were at work In
the quarry, which is |, 900 feet long,
100 feet across and 100 feet deep. The
heavy rains OF the past two days had
softened the earth and caused the slide
Of rock.
Where the fallen mass slipped away
a smooth, nearly perpendicular wall
was left, rising sheer 100 feet above
tho bottom Of the quarry, while the
entire quarry floor was covered With
broken, jagged rock. Only nine OF
the men got away safely, four OF whom
escaped by running up on q mass OF
rock at the opposite side OF the quar-.
ry. The remaining Is were bundled
in a spacs ten feet square, and ~ OF
them we're killed and six Injured. TwC
OF the latter may die. All Of the
men are Slavon!ans who lived In shan
Ties close to the quarry.
Two men VINO saw the SIDE or the
quarry culver shouted a warning to
the men. The mon mis!nterpreted
the called and failed To moved ou5 OF
zono OF danger until 1t was too late.
With o t%hundCrcui rOar the mountain
OF rock fell, plnntng the mon fast.
The r scuerB found six men huddled
In II place, four standing and two
lying down. Three were alive and
II died before he could be gotten out.
Five physicians were summoned who
gave the injured first aid on tito scene
and then had t!iem hurried In wagons
TO the Allentown hospital. The dead
were laid on boards aud carried to the
stock house. Eight bodies were re-
covered before dark, at which time
two more were exposed TO view and
two others buried deep In the pit
Tho lattor's bodies may not be reached
until Thursday.
Most Of the men killed or injured
are single. Others had families In the
old country. A number OF women
from the foreign colony ran to the
quarry when the news Of tho accident
reached them and their moaning and
anguish were piLiable.

Washington, July 3.-The informa-
tion has come to the department Of
justice that the beef trust fight TO be

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
On the Surface at Odessa, But Rebel
lion Is Rampant.

Odessa, July 4.-Superflcially, the
situation seems more hopeful and the
peace outlook is brighter owing to a
relaxation of the strenuous militarism
of the past few days. Under the sur
face of affairs, however. the situation is
most alarming, owing to the wildflre
spread of dissension and rebellion in
the army Twenty officers are now
under arrest owing to their declara-
tions that they will not in the future
give orders to their commands to fire
upon unarmed people. 1t is known
that the revolutionary propaganda is
making gigantic strides among the
troops. 1t is stated that within the
last week 30 soldiers, who were known
to be of the revolutionary party, have
been summarily shot by their officers.
Last night 80 revolutionists, three of
whom were soldiers, were put to death.
While it is generally believed that
an actual revolution is some distance
away, it is conceded that those behind
the movement are embracing every op-
portunity to increase their power, and
that the work of the revolutionists'
agents among the soldiers is most
fruitful.
Peasant disturbances around Odessa
and Cherson are causing the authori-
ties much alarm.

pearance off this harbor on Sunday
They asked permission to purchase
coal and provisions. The men in au.

order to make their way back to Odes-

stated that they had only such coal
aboard as would last only through one

whether to grant or deny the request
During Sunday night, however a mes
sage was received from Bucharest,
directing the port officials to deny the
rebel ships any assistance and order
ing that the port officers attempt TO
persuade the mutineers to give up the
ships.
Yesterday morning the Potemkine
fred a salute in honor of the Rou-
manian flag. The salute was ignored
by both the forts and the Roumanian
warships. Then the torpedo boat con-
sort of the Potemkine started to en-.

Ell Elizabetha signalled the rebel to
retire and Immediately fired shot at
her which failed to hit. The torpedo
boat turned. however, and left the

The officials of the port called upon
the men aboard the two vessels to
surrender. declaring that they would
not be held as Russian deserters, II
they came ashore without arms and
had not damaged either of the two
vessels, and would be allowed to
leave the country.

Those who are on the inside of the
affairs are not so confident of the
State bank paying out in full as they
were sometime ago. The recent bank
ruptcy proceedings means that all
moneys paid in on discounted paper
written four months preceding the
bankruptcy date as well as all assign
ments or deeds within that time must
be refunded and the bank becomes a
common creditor with others on the
amount due them.
Some of the creditors have unearth-
ed a statute that gives them hopes OF
collecting off some of the directors
individually, The section referred to
is as follows:
"3S21-84. Sec. eff the directors
of any banking company which shall

MORE OUTBREAKS
Reported in the Russian Army From
All over the Country.

st. Peterburg, July 4.-Every hour
brings fresh reports to the government
of outbreaks in the army from all parts
of the country. So far they are all
small affairs. At Kherson yesterday,
while an officer by the name of Cir
forodsky, renowned disciplinarian,
was drilling a battalion, he was at
tackled by number of soldiers. His
men used their bayonets, and he was
severely wounded Col. Davydoff, see
ing the plight of the officer, with drawn
sword rushed to his assistance. The
soldiers, eight in number, turned their
bayonets upon the colonel.
Although fatally wounded, the colo
mel, with the blood streaming from
wounds in his lungs, face and abdo-
men, shouted to his men:
Attention, men; musicians to the
front! Hurrah for the czar!"
His promptness in bringing the bat
talon back to sense of its duty II
said to have alone prevented the out
break of every one of the soldiers whC
witnessed the attack.
Col Davydoff then left the parad
ground, and. making his way to hi
quarters, wrote letter to the czar tell
ing him that he had done the best h
could for his country. He then ex
pired. The soldiers who attacked hin
