FRIGHTFUL TRAIN CARSH
Takes the Lives CT Ten People and
Injuries a Score of Cthers-!r,-
pact Terrific and Disastrous.

A special from Altoona, Pa, says:
The most disastrous accident on the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad since the dis
aster east of Harrisburg nearly a year
ago, when about twenty persons were
killed, occurred Friday night about 10
o'clock on the Petersburg branch
about 500 yards east Of Clover Creek
junction.
The Chicago Mail, bount east, and
the Chicago and st. Louis Express,
bound west, two of the fastest trains
of the system, going at full speed,
net head on. Seven cars were wreck
ed, and both engines badly damaged.
Six persons were killed outright,
and four died later from injuries.
About twenty of the passengers and
train crew were more or less seri-
ously injured, but as far as is known
all will recover.
Some hours before twenty-seven
loaded freight cars had been wrecked
CD the main line of the Pennsylvania
railroad at Union Furnace, 20 miles
east of Altoona. Debris blocked all
the tracks and fast passenger trains
were run over the Petersburg branch.
The Chicago and st. Louis express
was sent from Altoona and the Chlca-
go mail from Huntingdon.
At Clover Creek Junction, about
midway between Altoona and Hunting
don, where single line trayerses i
r:eavy curve, the two trains crashed
together with frightful force, the IN
pact standing the locomotives on end
and piling the cars of the mail IN a
heap. One coach contained thirty
cne passengers and none escaped In
jury.
Officials Of the Pennsylvania road
state that the disaster was due to a
misconception of orders on the part OF
the crew Of the Chicago mail. 1nstruc-
tioas had been given to pull on to
a siding near Williamsburg, two miles
east of where the accident happened,
the st. Louis flyer having the right OF
line.
Heartrending scenes unnerved the
rescuers as they worked by the glare
OF oil lamps in an effort to extrioate
the unfortunates,! !who were under the
wreckage. Until wrecking crew ar
rived from Altoona, two hours after
the accident, human hands were I'M
&C tent to extend succor to the MAIN
ed and mangled passengers.

METHODIST DOCTRINES
May Be Changed, If Recommendations
Of General Conference Committee
Carried to Conclusion.

At Mondays session of the general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, in Birmingham, a res
olution concerning the preparation OF
a new statement Of the dcctrinal faith
of Methodism was introduced by w.
z. Tillett and ". R. Lambuth, OF the
Tennessee conference as follows:
while reafirming our absolute
faith in our articles Of religion, we do
not believe that in their present form
they meet the existing needs OF our
church as a statement Of doctrinal
system of evangelical Methodist Ar
minianism. Believing that the differ
ent branches OF the world OF Meth
odism as represented in an ecumenical
Methodist conference can and should
unite in The preparation of such 4
statement Of our common faith as IS
needed, AMI believing that this gen.
eral conference should take such steps
as may be necessary to secure in the
early future the cooperation of other
representative Methodist churches in
the preparation of new statement OF
our faith, we therefore offer the fol-
lowing resolution:
"Resolvsd, That the college Of bish'
ops be requested to appoint commits
sion of five members, one Of whom
shall be a bishop, which shall invite
other branches Of Methodism to unite
with us in the preparation Of such 4
statement of. our faith and such an
expression of our doctrinal system
as is called for in our day, and this
commission shall represent our church
in the preparation of the same.
"W. F. TILLETT, ...
"W. R. LAMBUTH."
With the introduction Of the resolu-
ton, a motion was made to create 4
special committee to consider it. The.
special committee consists Of the two
ministers who offered the resolution
and the Rev. C. W. Carter Of Arcadia,
La. . <
A complaint against the episcopal
administration Of Bishop H. c. Nor
rison was also read and formally filed
with the episcopacy committee. 1t
relates to certain differences between
the Wayne Memorial Church Of New
Orleans, and the bishop, and Is sign
ed by majority of the stewards OF
that church, who are said to have re-
signed because Rev. Richard Wilkins
pastor, was transferred from Wayne
church to q. church in Monroe, La.
A complaint was also filed by the
German Mission conference, by which
the admission of bishop Is ques'
toned.

First National Parliament Close at
Hand-Deiunates ARRIVING.

Hand-OeIogates arriving.
The members Of the national par.
lament and of the council Of the em-
pire are arriving in st. Petersburg
on every train. Quite a number OF
distinguished foreign visitors and jour-
nalists already have reached the cap
ital to witness a great historic event
the Inauguration Of the Russian par
lament
The fears that the government
might attempt to dissolve the parlia-
ment before it had the opportunity OF
accomplishing anything are vanishing,
and despite the bomb outrage at MOS
COW and the continued irreconcilabie
attitude of the extreme revolutionists,
there is a more hopeful feeling that
Russia may enter smoothly into par
liamentary life. This is due not only
to the moderate attitude OF the con-
stitutional democratic majority,
whose leaders are holding the ex-
tremists, among them in check, but
to the manifest desire Of the govern
ment to avoid conflict.
The new cabinet has announced a
policy of hands off, practically saying
that the parliament shall have carte
blanche, and that SO long as 1t does
not attempt to meddle with the funda-
mental laws of the empire the parliar
ment will be allowed to offer It's own
solution for the crying agrarian PROD
lem. With this attitude Of tae gov
ernment, If 1t Is sincerely carried OUT
the constitutional democrats Tor the
present are content Tney believe
their final victory when the emperor
will be forced to grant a constitution
is not far off-a few months at most
especially If in the meantime they
are permitted to accomplish some
thing tangible which will strengthen
them with the country.
NJ. Naboukotf, leader of the con-
stitutional democrats, said frankly
than his party had no desire at pres
ent to have premier and cabinet
even if it could. Such responsibility
y ould place it upon the defensive
while by remaining in opposition with
the country behind it, the chances OF
forcing a complete surrender were
increased instead Of being diminish
ed The little group Of socialists CT
the extreme left has not yet shown
it, hand; but without the constit''-
tional democrats who have clear
working majority it will be powerless
to force a conflict.

What's Doing at the Mine.

The Monarch Mining & Developing
company rich company under the
management of f. B. Schermerhorn, is
rapidly constructing twelve-foot wagon
road from Lake Valley to the Grand
Central properties, in order that the ma
chinery designed for the properties may
be placed, and the product hauled to
the railroad. The ore is principally zinc
and lead, and it is the intention of the
company to put large separator on the
ground. The ore bodies are exception
ally large, and of good grade, which
makes the success of the enterprise as
sured. No expense is being spared to
make the road permanent and of an easy
grade, as the large amount of freight to
be carried over it makes expense in this
direction a matter of economy.
Much activity is reported from the
Carpenter district in Grant county,
where number of capitalists have been
investing of late. Several good proper
ties have been put under bond, and at
tempts are being made to secure others.

have been inclined to think that Sully
was weak batter, but had they seen
him perform with his club yesterday they
would have thought him regular La

times up. The other two times he hit
long flies, one of which Stahl barely got,

Fred Broughton had a narrow escape
from what might have been serious &C.
cident. A thirty gallon gasoline can,
which was supposed to have been empty,
was standing on the platform and Fred
scratched match on it. Before he had
time to get away the gasoline vapor
which was in the can exploded, blowing
the top completely off. Fred's hands
were somewhat burned as was his face,
however not seriously. The noise of the
explosion was very loud and could have
