TERRIBLE DISASTER
NEAR HARRISBURG.
Eastern Express Train Crashes
Into Cars Loaded will
Dynamite.
so KILLED, 100 INJURED.

South Harrisburg was the scene
of an appalling disaster at fifteen
minutes past one o clock this morn
ing, when train known as the
Eastern Express, going west,
crashed into an eastbound freight.
Two cars of the latter train were
loaded with dynamite and three
terrific explosions followed. Both
trains were piled in mass of wreck
age which Immediately took fire
and many smaller explosions re.
suited.
1t was extremely difficult to ascer-
tain the details this morning, but
it is estimated that fifty were killed
and one hundred injured. Definite
figures could not be had as the
blazing mass is unapproachable,
and many of the victims are pinned
in the debris.
The train left Chicago at a. m.
on Tuesday, and Pittsburg at SIS
yesterday afternoon. 1t was due
at Harrisburg at LIS this morning,
at Philadelphia at 4.25 and at New
York at 7.I3.
1t was impossible to get within
100 yards of the fire, as explosions
were occurring continuously.
When the first explosion oc-
Cured human bodies were thrown
clear out of the berths in the sleep
ing cars, many landing down the
railroad embaukment, and some
hurled into the Susquehanna river.
All the physicians in Harrisburg
were summoned to work with the
injured. A fire alarm was sounded
and the firemen arrived to find
themselves practically helpless in
the work OF rescue.
Immediately after the wreck all
the passengers who could, ran from
the scenes of horror, to safety, from
the incessant explosions. There
were great numbers of men, women
and children wakened from their
; sleep in the berths to find them
selves in perfect hell of horror.
With practically no clothing they
were compelled to wander about
the fields, as there are but few
houses in the vicinity of the wreck.
| The agonizing cries of the in
jured ones were heart rending. The
Office of the Paxtang Light. Heat
& Power Co. looked hospital.
The Harrisburg Traction Co. ran
out a number of cars which were
used to carry the injured to the
hospital at Harrisburg.

COUNCIL REDUCES
The TAX RATE.
Nine Mills for Built up Portion,
Five for Suburban and
Four for Farm De-
Cided Upon.
Many Requests for Sewer.

The fixing OF the tax rate for the
ensuing year was the dominant
matter before the Bloomsbury
Town Council at the regular month
ly meeting held Monday evening.
There was a full attendance,
President Yetter, and members
Magee, Giger, Deily, Mifflin, Run
yon, and Rhodes all being present,
as we'll as the solicitor Hon. Grant
Herring and the treasurer John w.
Lewis.
The first thing considered was
the reading of the minutes of the
previous meeting, which on motion
were approved, and then the treas
urer rendered his report. During
the month he received from Tax
Collector w. N. Robbins, on the
duplicate for 1908, S24I.I4; OH du-
plicate of 1904, S342.77, and from
J. X. Townsend, President of the
old council, SI72.35 which with
balance in hand at the last report
of 500. 90 made total Of SI377.9o;
that he had paid orders amounting
to SSoS. "a, leaving on hand a bal
ance of S564.65. He also reported
that there was due on the duplicate
of 1901, Sa136.37, on duplicate of
1902, $500. 90, on duplicate of 1908
SI262 .67 and on duplicate of 1904,
S7II3.o3, making total amount of
outstanding taxes, SII,II5.I6.
Mr.. Magee suggested that here
after the treasurer furnish the f.
nance committee with copy of his
report some time prior to the meet
ing of Council, i'll order that the
committee may have sufficient time
to examine it properly.
The bond of treasurer Lewis in
the sum of $4,000, with E. B.
Tustin and M. l. Low, as sureties,
was presented to the Council and
approved.
Chief of the Fire Department, G.
T.. Lewis as per request of Presi-
dent Yetter, made a report relative
to the condition OF the department,
the strength of the various COM
panies and the number of men that
had responded to the fire alarm dur
ing the month. He also presented
a resolution adopted at a recent
meeting of the Fire Board, which
has for its purpose the retirement
by Council of the long standing
dispute regarding the number and
position OF the companies. Before
the petition was considered Mr..
Magee foreseeing that the matter
would require considerable time,
made motion that it be laid over
till Monday night and that special
meeting be held at that time to
consider it. The motion was
seconded and carried and the matter
will be taken up Monday night.
Hon. John G. Harman on behalf
of the Joseph Ratti Hospital ap-
peared before the meeting and ask
ed Council to construct a sewer in
order that the institution may have
an outlet. He explained very
lucidly the object and purposes of
the Hospital, and stated that mas
much as it is to be fine home for
the sick and injured, and not for
profit or gain, the moral obligation
to construct a sewer was greater
than the legal obligation. He said
that 81 S, 900 had already been paid
in cash; S., 900 subscribed by pri-
vate enterprise; $500 more pledged
and $25oo to be spent in the operat-
ing room, He stated further that a
new law signed by the Governor OF
the Commonwealth might make the

from trouble with my heart, with Sc

the examining physician said, my
heart was so bad he could not

child dependent upon me. It
was to protect her future that want

Fortunately for me, I happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that I was
with heart trouble and who was cured
by leaving off coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee. grasped at the hope
this held out, and made the change at
once.
My health began to improve imme-
ately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, I gained in flesh and my
Greatest of ALL my heart was strength
