Wrsckage Takes Fire and
Adds 70 Disaster

An express train on the Pennsylva
MIA railroad ran Into a freight train
in which there were two cars loaded
with dynamite at ITO o'clock Thurs
day morning In South Harrisburg. Pa.
near the plant Of the Paxtang Light
Heat and Power company.
Three terrific explosions that broke
windows all over the city followed
and two trains were completely wreck
ed and took fire. 1t was estimated
that fifty persons we're killed and one
hundred injured.
When the first explosion occurred
bodies were thrown clear out Of the
berths In the sleeping cars, many land.
ing down on the railroad embankment,
and some even having been hurled
into the SusquehanAa river, which par
allels the railroad in that locality.
Ali the physicians procurable in Har
risburg were summoned to work with
the injured.
A fire alarm sounded and the fire.
men arrived, to find themselves prae.
tically helpless Ia the work Of res
cue. A police patrol wagon was com
missioned as an ambulance, and many,
of the injured as possible were load
ed Into 1t on each trip and taken to
the Harrisburg hospital, the capacity
Of which soon became taxed because
of the large number that were brought
in. A special train was made up and
transferred injured and dying to the
union station. Many Of the injured
were taken into private houses.
Immediately after the wreck, all the
passengers who could do SO ran from
the scenes of horror to safety from.
the Mcessant small explosions.
The agonizing cries Of the unfortun.
ates were heartrending. The office OF
the Paxtang Light, Heat and Power
Company was transformed into TEN.
porary hospital. At an early hour the
Harrisburg Traction company ran out
number Of cars from its South Har
risburg barns and used them to bring
the injured to the hospital.
The train was the second section oil

SEEKS SCAPECOAT
Is Accusation Of Stevens In
RepIytO Charge Of Jordan.
ABOUT FERTlL FER TAGS
oeorgla Agricultural Commissioner and
Head q Southern Cotton Assocla-
tlOn Engage IN Decidedly
Bitter Controversy.

"Mr Jordan Is now hunting for 3
scapegoat, and do not propose that
he shall use me for that purpose"
So said Commissioner Of Agricll,
ture Of Georgia, O. B. Stevens. to .
representative Of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, after reading in an afternoon
paper the letter Of Hon. Harvle Jor-
dan. president of the Southern Cot
on Association. in which Mr.. Jordan
charges that "Mr. Stevens is under.
taking to apologize for or stand by
the fertilizer companies IN. the reck-
less waste Of tags this season"
President Jordan's charge is based
on an interview with Commissioner
Stevens, which was gathered by q
representative Of. the Constitution in
the course Of casual conversation
with the commissioner, and in which
Colonel Stevens stated that the pres
ence Of unused fertilizer tags in cars
Of guanO was doubtless due to care.
lessness Of employees, as the fertil-
izer companies, even If they desired
to create the impression of heavy
sales, would hardly scatter the tags
In that way, but would rather de-
stroy them or hide them away.
President Jordan quotes part Of this
interview and seriously charges Com
missioner Stevens with undertaking
to apologize or stand by the fertil-
izer companies in the reckless waste
Of tags this season, and to admit that
the same condition of affairs has been
going on every year"
Continuing, Mr.. Jordan declares that
instead Of cooperating with the farm
ers and the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton in trying to expose the fertilizer
companies in their wanton waste Of
tags, he appears from his interview
ito have prejudged the case and rem.
dered his verdict in favor of the fer
tilizer companies"
When shown President Jordan's let
ter Colonel Stevens, after reading It,
made the following brief but pointed
statement:
Il have no desire to get into con.
troVersy with Hon. Harvie Jordan.
have, to the best OF my ability, sup
ported the Southern Cotton Associa.
ton movement, and have in every way
endeavored to uphold Mr.. Jordan's
hands, having gone of my own mo-
ton to New Orleans to assist him in
his election to the presidency.
"The trouble with Mr.. Jordan is
that he Is now hunting for scape-
goat, and do not propose that he
shall use me for that purpose. No
doubt Mr.. Jordan is doing his best
to earn his $4,000 salary, but am
under the impression that If he had
proceeded along lines somewhat DIFF
-ferent from those followed by him
since the New Orleans convention, we
would now be getting much higher
prices for our cotton.
"Mr. Jordan seems to have been
systematic kicker, and l am simply
one Of the many on whose rnoffending
heads he has poured the vial OF his
wrath.
I am perfectly willing that the
farming interests of Georgia should
Judge between Harvie Jordan and my
self, and as to which Of the two has
done most in contributing to the de-
velopment of the agricultural inter-
ests Of the state"

I When President Roosevelt addressed
the American Tract Society at wash
ington, D. G., he took for his text "Be
We doors Of the word and not hearers
only" which is said to be the text
found at the point in the Scriptures
which he selected to kiss on taking
the oath at his Inauguration. The adj
dress which he based on these words
was entirely sound in morals and as
emphatic as usual, opines the New
York Times. He urged his hearers to
remember always that 1t is not
strength alone. or wealth, that makes
a great nation, but the qualities of the
men and women who are the nation.

shippers Of poultry and eggs should
be very careful about responding to
new commission men who quote prices
higher than the regular market, adj
yIses the Massachusetts Ploughman.
These are very likely to be irresponsible
parties who fail and defraud shippers
as soon as they have received any con-
siderable quantity of goods. The best
trade of the cities is mostly commanded
by the older and long established firms,
and these are able to pay as high for
the goods as anybody. New concerns
which quote very high prices usually
do SO at the expense of reliability.

The butter product of the United
