SEVENTY DROWNED
ELECTRICiTRAIN AT ATLANTIC
CITY, runs OFF BRIDGE
Train of Three Cars Loaded With Peo-
pie Plunged Into 30 Feet Of Water
There Was no Escaping From the
cars-Many Survivors Owe Lives to
heroism of Rescuers.

Atlantic City, N. J.. Oct. 29.-At
least 80 persons, and in all probability
rs, lost their lives in horrible man
ner just outside this city at 2;30
o'clock Sunday, when a three car cleo
trio train over the Pennsylvania rail-
road third rail system, running about
rs miles an hour, struck a spreading
rail upon the drawbridge that carries
fare" and plunged headlong into IS
feet of water. Every man. woman and
child in the first two cars persisted
without even remote fighting chance
for their lives. The cars were closely
vestibuled with air tight windows.
There was no escaping from them.
From the third car few managed
to make their way from the rear end
as this rested above water upon one
of the projecting piers of the bridge
But they were cut and bruised and
half drowned, and they said that there
were as many more persons left in the
car who could not get out.
James l.. Curtis, the conductor OF
the train, is alive. but he is so frenzied
with grief and shock that he is unable
TO say just how many tickets he col
lected. His estimates vary from Sc to
1870.
II is known that the train was fairly
well filled when 1t left Camden, and II
took on more passengers at Newfeld
the junction point of the Cape May di-
vision, and at Pleasantville, upon the
other side of the meadows from here
Passengers who survive the wreck
declare that there were at least 100
persons in the three cars, which have
a capacity of about So each.
Every effort is being made toward
recovering the bodies. A hundred
yachts and motor boats and skiffs are
out at the drawbridge, filling the wa
tiers of the narrow thoroughfare. These
boats are manned by men who are
working like fiends, although there is
little they can do. A wrecking train

is light structure and any strong pull
would drag the derrick into the thor

cars.
In the light of acetylene automobile
lamps, electric searchlights and loco

that may possibly be swept out of the
cars, with oyster tongs and heavy fish

ENGLAND HAS A FEW BoYCoTTs
Everybody Seems to be Boycotting
Somebody Else.

SOMEBODY Else.
Boycotts of every description are
raging in England, and while Irish
men, the first users of the weapon, looK
on with equaniminity, their bitter an
tagonist and historic enemy the London
Times. is boycotting the book publish
ers, aud they in turn are retahating
with all their tremendous power. The
newspapers and independent soap max
ers are boycotting the soap trust and
the trust magnates are boycottiDg the
independents and are threatening TO
withdraw their advertisements from
the hostile journals.
American canned meats are being
boycotted by certain trade journals,
and trade interests and newspapers are
being boycotted by strikes in many
places throughout Great Britain.
Woman suffragists, becoming enraged
at every conspicuous statesmen and
politician because of the rough treat
ment they received in the outer lobby
of the house of commons, are planning
to boycott these statesmen and politic-
ians whose interests are accessible to
commercial attack. A practical boy
colt is being maintained by all social
lists against every individual, party or
trade interests which puts obstacles in
their way.
Organized railway employees and
other trade unionists are boycotting
politically such of their members as
seek to prevent them from working
with the socialists for the betterment
of the conditions of labor. English
churchmen and Catholics are morally
boycotting the supporters of what they
call the non conformist education bill,
while the free churchmen in and out
of parliament breathe war against
everybody, partially the peers of the
rela, who tries to thwart the efforts tc
secure national state-maintained edu-
cation, without sectarian tests and
wholly controlled by the people.

''The water taken from the st.
Mary's belongs in Teton county, and
we feel that Teton county should
have some benefit from the proposed
irrigation. AS it now stands, we will
get nothing and the water is carried
through our county east and past
lands just as good as those it is carried
to, a hundred miles further on.
Eff possible, we want to have a
change made, 50 that we will be bene-
fitted as well as those farther east.
The proposition will not interfere
with the Milk river irrigation, except
that it will start the canal upon ir-
rigable lands one hundred miles soon
er than under the present proposition.
1.-The statistics being gathered will
show conclusively that the land in the
country to be irrigated will produce
any crop that will grow in northern
Montana; that there would be more
than one and half million acres re-
claimed; that by building the Marias
diversion dam and canal the people OF
the lower Milk river valley would not
suffer in the least, and that IL the
water of St. Mary's lake is not used
to irrigate our lands, we can never
hope to have this vast country
settled up.

REILLY IS EASY VICTOR.

The contest at the Montana
Concert Hall last Monday night
was witnessed by d large audi
ence, and various were the comments
as to the relative possibilities of the
two men, Reilly and Callahan. The
contest, which was to begin immedi-
ately after the preliminary, was post
poned until after the arrival of No. 3,
on which large delegation of sport
ing men was expected. This slight
delay only heightened the expectation
of the spectators and, when Reilly,
unequiyocally the fayorite, entered
the arena, the orchestra started a
lively Irish melody, and the enthusiasm
of the crowd was immense. Reilly
smilingly acknowledged the compli-
ment as he sat down in his corner,
awaiting the advent of his adversary,
the picture of perfect health and man
hood. 1t was some time before Gala
han arrived, but was yociferously well
coined upon his appearance. Little
time was consumed after that. Reilly
shook hands with his opponent, upon
the latter's entry in the ring, the
seconds attended to the customary
details, the gong sounded, and the
fight was on.
Round /. Both men quickly jumped
to the centre, Callahan assuming a
peculiarly crouching position. They
circle around each other when Gala
han suddenly shot right and left on
Reilly, doing no particularly damage
however. Reilly closely watched his
opponent, leading for the side of CAL
lahan's head, the only visible and
permissible target, but was neatly
blocked. No damage done.
Round 2. Callahan assumes his
crouch, and Reilly is apparently puz-

an agricultural state. But every year
more farms are being worked and one
of these days there will be printing
of statistics that will show the agri-

The completion of any one of the gov
ernment irrigation works will be a
great thing for the agricultural deyel-

as fine soil as any in the union, and
whatever is grown on it's lands is equal
and often superior to the other states
farther east and west.

WILL Benefit MONTANA

The people Of Shelby Junction and
country tributary are working ener-
getically to secure government recog-
milton of their claims to a share in
the use Of the waters Of the st. Nary's
lake, which are to be diverted down
this way. They recently organized an
association, known as the ST. Mary's
Improvement association, for this
purpose. A meeting Of the association
is to be held at Shelby Junction to-
morrow, at which large attendance
is expected. Mayor Newman has
reqested to name a committee to con-
sist Of representative business men to
attend the meeting, but while Havre
is in sympath, it is doubtful if a dele
CATION can be sent today.
In talking to a representative of the
HERALD who was in Shelby Junction
Saturday, Mr.. Il. M. Meade, secretary
OF the association, said that ''they de-
sired to have the canal start from the
crossing of the South fork of Milk
river and be carried straight east to
the Chain Of Lakes, being from 25 to
10 miles north of the canal as intend
ed. This will give hundreds Of thous-
ands of acres of land in Teton county,
north of Shelby, and in Chouteau
county, irrigation chat could not be
reached by the canal proposed by the
government.

What about John d. Rockefeller"
Mr. Hadley was asked. WAS there
any discussion pertaining to him?"
"The question of subpoenaing John
