THIRTEEN DEAD, 70 MANNED.
Horrible Cost Of Blunder on Illinois
Interurban Line.

Thirteen persons were killed and SOW
enty.six injured so badly that their recov-
cry Is not expected. In a head-on collision
between train. consisting Of q motor
car ana trailer, and an empty express car
on the Charleston and Nation interur-
ban line at 10 80 o'clock Friday morning
one mile west of Charleston, III. Both
cars were running ut high speed and met
rs they were rounding sharp curve. The
impact was dcafcning. The train was
telescopcd by the express car and both
were reduced to tangled mass Of wood
and iron. The passengers had not mo-
ment's warning of danger and were killed
or injured without opportunity to savs
themselves. The scene Of suffering and
death that followed was appalling. Tho
dead and dying were jammcd together In
a mass. while many less seriously injured
lay near by. A confusion of orders r..
ceivcd over the telephone II said to b
responsible for the catastrophe.

WIRELESS PHONES FOR FLEET.
North Atlantic Squadron VIII b
Equipped with System.

Bnttleships of the North Atlantic feet
will be equipped with wireless telephones.
These instruments have been installed
and tested successfully on board the
Louisiana and Virginia. II is now intend
ed to equip all the other battleships with
them. Ii is said Admiral Evans, through
the use of tho system, will be able to
talk with commanding officers of the bat
tlcships even when five miles apart. De-
tails of the invention are kept secret BY
the Navy Department, because of an un-
willingness to inform foreign powers Of
their nature. The system will be Of In.
calculable advantage In peace and war
maneuvers. The only objection Is that
interference is possible as in wireless
telcgraphy, but aside from this wireless
telephones will be of great service.

ANEoLEcTED OPPORTUNITY

The committee appointed by Congress to consider the possibility of equalizing the cost of mail transportation has after careful examination made report with string of recommendations. The re- forms are urgent but the probability is that nothing will be done. That which should be the most profitable branch of the postal service is monopolized by the Express companies who easily get car service at less than one-half the price paid by the Government. A Parcels Post is withheld to the millions that want it and need 1t, all in the interests of these same Express Companies and a few hun dred petty shop keepers. The Govern menu, already equipped with splendid rural mail delivery system, might add millions to the national revenue by hay ing the Rural route agents at the same time deliver parcels post packages at a price that would compensate the Gov ernment and be 8 blessing to millions throughout the land.
Connecticut western news., 1907-02-14

A step has been taken toward redue- ing the much talked of postal deficit, in fact several steps. This one ill particu- lar is noteworthy in that the govern ment will save about $32, ,0OO, 900 this year on the amount heretofore paid the railroad companies for carrying the mails. In addition to the cut in price to be paid for hauling mails, cut of $1 .OOO- 900 is proposed in the amount paid for the rental of mail cars. Further the weight of the mail bags must not be in- cluded in the weight of the mail matter paid for If it is true as stated that for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, the government will pay the railroads $32, OO0,O more than the express companies would pay for hauling an equal tonnage, there would seeem to be opportunity for still greater retrenchment along these railroad lines.

The Final Assembly


 The last of this seasons very success ful series of assemblies was held at Town Hall last Friday evening and it was a quarter of twelve Chats three) before the last merrymaker wended his or her homeward way. The attendance was much larger than at any of the previous gatherings. The music for dancing was provided by an orchestra of four pieces composed of musicians from Lakeville, Norfolk and Millerton and was highly satisfactory. MT. P. Unch was again present, accompanied by ice cream and and cake. Square and round dances were about equally divided and this was much appreciated by those whose know ledge of dancing was acquired in the days when the hold of the round dance on popular fancy was not as great as it is at the present time. The evenings festivities began with the 30-minute farce entitled "The Crowed Hotel or The Tricky Mig" Local people com posed the cast of characters and the audience was kept in roars of laughter throughout the presentation. Station Agent M. D. Cosgriff as Seth Hopkins, landlord of the Bimbletown Hotel, made decided hit and all day Saturday he was kept busy answering telegrams from Pawtucket, Askaloosa, Tallahassa, San Francisco and other spots, sent by hotel .,,e nf 1a nI1 Tf ,c a1 rumored that the manner in which he played his part suggested to the N. Y. N. H. & H. R R. the advisability of transforming the upper portion of the station into hotel and placing the same ill charge of the affable agent. It was a different matter to convince the audience that Mike Mo Flynn. was none other then Frank F. Stevens who in real life deals out pills. plasters, sou venir post cards and such over the count CTS of Humphreys drug store. To all appearances he had come directly from Cork to the Bimbletown hotel. Beneath a coating of burnt cork was apparently a native of Sandtown. Henry R. Whit ford would never have been suspected but it was he, nevertheless. He sustain ed the role to the manner born and he made life burden for his fellow lodgers in the hotel. The "leading lady" P. J. Kane was greeted by rounds of applause as "she" stepped on the stage. "She" was lone and unprotected female from Peppermint Holler but 'she" showed an ability to take care of ''herself." "Her" maldenly reserve, symmetry of figure, and perfectly modulated feminine voice won the plaudits of the assemblage and sshe" is now considering proposition to substitute for Lillian Russell while
