ATE MATCH HEADS
Woman Who Was Advised to Take
 Sulphur For Her Health.

Because she had been told by a friend that sulphur was good for the blood, Miss Veronica Shamteta of 831 Bank street almost lost her life last evening and If 1t were not for the good work of Dr Lopez this morning the woman might now be in very serious condition.
 Veronica Is about 45 years of age and lives with MT and Mrs Pampira at S3l Bank street at the corner of Bank and South Leonard streets. She mas been feeling unwell the past few days and yesterday while talking with one of her friends, the latter told her that if she took some sul- phur she would undoubtedly be much better. Last evening she took a dose in very peculiar manner. Taking almost half box of matches she soaked them in water. After they had been in the water some time she took them out and scraping the sulphur or the matches she placed it in little water and drank the mixture. She then went to her room and no one knew of her condition until early this morning. The poison was just starting to work and the woman was in precarious condition Dr Lopez was called and after working over her some time brought her out of danger. This afternoon she was re- ported as getting we'll at her home.

DEATH TO THIRTEEN
Runaway Oar Causes Ap-
 palling Disaster.
HIT CROWD AT LIGHTNING SPEED.

Strikers Blamed by Puritan Mine
 Omciais--say Foreigners Started Juggernaat on Wild Career Down Mountain Side. ALTOONA, Pa, July 5.-A runaway car, flying like the wind down mine branch track that runs between Puritan and Portage, jumped the track short distance west of Portage and crashed into party of twenty foreigners who were holding a celebration along the track.
 Thirteen were killed instantly and without moments warning. Several others were injured.
 The car was smashed to kindling wood and the tracks were torn up for hundred feet.
 The car was loaded with motor con signed to the Puritan Coal company and had been left standing on siding near the mine shaft. Mine officials give it as their opinion that striking foreigners loosened the brake and started the car down the preeipitous spur, although another theory is that boys sent the car off in spirit of mis- chief.
 The disaster happened on what is known as Martins curve, on track four miles long that acts as feeder for several mines located between Portage and Puritan. The incline Is very steep, and it is the custom to run cars down to Portage by gravity.
 The car had gone three miles before leaving the tracks and had gained a frightful momentum. It hit Martins curve while going at full speed and left the track at sharp angle, turning halfway around and plunging into the crowd of merrymakers.
 The party had been drinking and singing for several hours. One for eigner, who returned to Portage to have his injuries dressed, declared that the party was singing last song prior to retiring for the night
 When rescners arrived they were ap- palled by the frightful sight that was presented. Two of the unfortunate foreigners had been decapitated. The lower portion of the bodies of four men were missing, while the trunks were crushed into shapeless mass, pinned down by the twisted steel and broken timber. 's r, ,f.+
