JOHN RICHIE
INSTANTLY
KILLED
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2S.-John H.
Richie, the well known lightweight
pugilist, was instantly killed while
hunting near Paway today.
Richie, accompanied by Irving Phil
lips, was in a buggy.
Richie had his gun between his
knees, having just reloaded it after
taking shot at a rabbit.
1t is supposed that a jolt of the
buggy caused the gun, which was
cooked, to explode.
The charge struck Richie In the
neck, severing the jugular vein and
killing him almost instantly.
Phillips went for help and on his
return with assistance found Richie's
hunting dog standing guard over his
masters body.
1t was some time before the animal
would permit anybody to touch the
corpse. Richie was 36 years old and
unmarried.
Although he had often fought in the
ring he had a record of never having
been knocked out.
He was engaged in business here and
was generally liked.

AS the street car approached Fair
Oaks avenue, it stopped for an instant
While the motorman hastily gazed UP
and down the line of the intersecting
track to see If another car was ap.

Mrs. Alcorn believed the car stopped
at that point to let off passengers and
before the conductor could warn her
attempted to step off the car. AS one
foot touched the ground the car start

WANT TERRITORIAL
FORM Of GOVERNMENT

SEATTLE, Oct. 2S.-Hon. Thomas
Gale of Fairbanks, Alaska, is in the
city on his way east to Washington.
1.-The people of Alaska" he said. "are
more interested i'm securing a territorial
form of government than in anything
else that Is before them at present
We don't mean. of course, to go into
all the ramifications of local self gov
ernment, into township and county or
ganizations as is done In the older
settled countries. We wish-and 1t is
natural want of American citizens
to be empowered to legislate for our
selves.
1--WE are anxious to secure as much
governmental assistance as we can for
road construction in Alaska.
1.-The present provision for schools
away from the incorporated towns is
meager and unsatisfactory and people
I'm many places have to educate their
own children after paying their revenue
to the government. We look for more
government assistance along this ad-
ditional line.
Alaska Is sadly neglected as regards
life saving stations along the danger
Gus coasts. NaVigators should be given
great deal more protection"

PLEASANTVIEW, CONCORD, N.
H. Oct. 2S.-The sensational report
published in the New York World of
Sunday, october 2S, 1905, to the erect
that Mrs. Eddy is physically and men
tally incapacitated, that for many
months she has not left her ROOM"
that she does not drive daily and that
she is impersonated in her carriage by
Mrs. Parmlia ]. Leonard or by any
body else is unqualifiedly false.
MY position in Mrs Eddys house
hold is simply that of paid employe;
She conducts her own affairs, financial
and otherwise, today as she always
has and the statement that Mrs. Eddy
is dominated or controlled by any sort
of a cabinet" or combination is posi-
lively false, absurdedly so to anyone
who is acquainted with Mrs. Eddy's
extraordinary ability as an executive
Mrs Eddy, as she herself wrote to
the Boston Herald on October 19, 1906
is in her usual good health. She is not
slowly dying from cancer, nor has she
a cancer or any chronic or organic or
functional disease. She has never been
visited by cancer specialist, nor do
or anybody else provide old school sur
geons and physicians, dentists and
the entire range of pharmeutics for at
tendance upon Mrs. Eddy, as is stated
by the World.
'"Had the reporters of the World
really desired to learn whether Mrs.
Leonard ilnpersonated Mrs. Eddy on
Mrs Eddy's drive it would have been
a very simple matter for these re-
porters to have called at Pleasantview
while Mrs. Eddy was driving and
asked for Mrs. Leonard. Had they
taken this ready way of verification
they would have had no trouble in
seeing Mrs. Leonard herself and talk
with her.

STOLEN
BY BOLD
TRIO

Coming out Of the First Presbyterian
church at Pasadena last night two men
and woman, all we'll dressed, stepped
lightly into $4,000 Buick automobile
owned by S. A. Valid, 1861 South Pasa-
Gena avenue, and sped eastward at a
high rate of speed. "A moment later
Mr.. Valid, who had just entered the
church, returned to the street to find
his machine gone, and at once reported
the affair to the police Within fifteen
minutes several automobiles had been
chartered and determined auto-thief
hunt was on.
The machine was a new one, in per-
feet running order and capable of being
driven sixty miles an hour, hence Mr.
Valid could hardly believe that with
the start they had the thieves would be
overtaken last night. That the man
who drove the Buick knew his business
was evident to a passer by who saw
the trio enter the auto and start east
Touching the lever the auto responded
instantly and before block had been
covered the machine was running at a
speed of fifteen miles an hour.
The tank contained seven gallons OF
gasoline. according to a statement
made by Mr.. Valid, enough to drive
the machine several hundred miles.
The number was 5779.

went down into the water with it. He
then swan ashore. His action in hold
ing the door open saved many lives.
When the third car dropped into the
water Henry Roemer was in the act of
crawling from window.
Freeing himself with an effort and
being strong swimmer he set about
TO- help Others. Swimming along the
side of the fast sinking car he kicked
out the glass and thus gave several
passengers an opportunity to escape.
Boats soon swarmed around the spot
where the cars went down, the loca-
tion of the cars being marked by the
tops of their trolley poles.
Although the cars got power from a
third rail they also carried trolley poles
to take power from above If necessary.
AS quickly as body was brought
up or f1oated to the surface 1t was re-
moved to the city morgue.
Many Injured VIII Die
I, Of the list Of injured is believed most
| of them will die They are suffering
from bruised limbs and other serious
| injuries.
| A Camden physician, whose name is
mot known, together with his wife, was
in the first car and both are believed
to be among the dead, although the
bodies have not yet been recovered
Although the work of rescue was be-
gun Immediately the recovery of the
dead was retarded by lack Of facilities
and the quick approach of darkness.
1t is believed that the cars will only
be partly submerged at low tide.
Hundreds of anxious relatives and
friends are pouring into Atlantic City
searching for missing ones
Details as to just how the accident
occurred are vague. A complete cir
cumstantial story cannot be obtained
from any of the passengers as vet.
Two causes have been assigned One
is that the rails spread and that the
rails were not properly locked when
the drawbridge. was closed after the
pleasure yacht had passed through.
The man who may best be able to
tell what caused the accident is Dan
lei B. Stewart, the bridge tender. He
is in no condition to talk tonight, how
ever.
The horror of the affair has tempor-
arily bereft him of his reason. He is
80 years of age and was the only per-
son who witnessed the plunge OF the
train with its human cargo from a
close point of vantage The scenes
which followed caused him to lose his
reason.

FIRST ACCOUNTS OF
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
Ry AssocInted Press.


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. ga
railroad accident that was even worse
than the Meadow wreck of July 30,
1906. sent about eighty people to sud-
den death this afternoon, catching them
like rats in trap.
The ears of the 1870 p. m. electric
train of the West Jersey g. Seashore
railroad line, due here at $3.50. jumped
the track on the trestle bridge over
the "Thoroughfare" and before anyone
could get out they were hurled to a
watery grave.
The trestle is about fifteen feet above
the water and the drop to the water
REQUIRED several seconds, giving time
for the passengers to see and calculate
their fate.
The entire city was thrown into a
state of excitement as the news reached
town about half past two, few min
utes after 1t happened.
Fully 5000 people crowded the mea-
dows and trestle, relatives and friends
crying out in despair for loved ones,
chief of Police Maxwell had a Gordon
of police swung around the death circle
and Chief Black of the fire department
called out his men and made them
police temporarily.
Several bodies were recovered up to
z O'Clock tonight and the wrecking
train is now at work trying TO hoist
the submerged cars from the water.

Woman Hit by Thugs
Who Steal Cash
and Deeds
Is Rendered Unconscious
by Blow From
Weapon
Though HoIdup Occurred Saturday
Morning Victim Was Too Badly
Stunned to Report Until
Sunday

While on her way to pay the taxes
on six lots, the deeds for which she
had in her hand bag, Mrs. Bertha Fall
230ls South Main street, was held up
and robbed of the deeds to her lots
and of 1886 in money. The robbery
occurred on San Pedro street, near
Commercial, about 10 o'clock Saturday
morning, but was not reported to the
police until yesterday.
Mrs. Fall was hit by the ruffians,
who took her money, and lay uncon-
scious for more than half an hour. The
right side of her face was laid open
by the blow inflicted upon her.
According to the woman, she was
on her way to the city hall from the
home of friend, with whom she had
spent the morning.
Mrs. Fall turned into San Pedro
street at Commercial and no sooner
had she turned the corner than she
was attacked by two men, who first
struck her with a leather sap" and
then stole the hand bag, in which was
contained the deeds and the money.
The reason that, Mrs. Fall did not
report the theft of her money and the
injury inflicted upon her was that she
WAS rendered unconscious by the blow.
When she recovered consciousness she
called carriage and was taken to her
rooms at 2301a South Main street. She
was too i'll during the time she was
injured and up to the hour she made
the report to the police last night to
taks any oction.
= Mrs. Fall was able to give only a
Vgaue description of the men who at
tackled her and it is feared by the
police that there is little likelihood
that they will be able to apprehend the

The bodies of Lieutenant Fepoux and
four men were found clustered amid
ships, six bodies were found in the
stern and the remainder in the bow.
All were in a horrible condition, ow-
ing to the action of the acids. The
only means of Identification were by
the objects found on the corpses.
The indications are that they met
their death Instantly. The opinion pre-
walls that the Lutin tried to come to
the surface too rapidly and her stern
struck on the bottom.
This caused rivets to start and plates
to burst.
Six leaks were found in the hull.

Three Electric Cars Thrown from a

Few Escape Instant
Death

BY associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct.
28.-By the wrecking of a three
coach electric train on the West
Jersey and Seashore railroad this
afternoon at least fifty passengers
perished and the list may reach
the total of eighty when all is
known.
While crossing the draw bridge
spanning the water way known as
the "Thoroughfare," which sepa-
rates Atlantic City from the main
land, the train left the tracks and
plunged into the water.
The passengers in the first two
coaches with one or two excep-
tons were drowned. sf,~es4s,.e
Up to midnight twenty-five
bodies have been recovered and it
is expected that at least twenty
FIVE and possibly more bodies are
still in the submerged coaches.
The place was visited by many
persons on shore and assistance
was promptly sent from Atlantic
City.
Little could be done, however,
toward saving the lives of those
imprisoned in the submerged
coaches.
The water at the point where
the train plunged in was not deep
enough to cover the coaches at
first, but as they settled in the
mud and as the tide rose they
were soon hidden from sight.
Late in the evening wrecking
crew arrived and with their aid
the use of a derrick dozen or
more bodies we're taken out and
brought to this city.
Of the twenty-five bodies about
twenty have been identified, and
it is believed that no difficulty will
be experienced in establishing the
identity of the others.
