Honduras Says Nicaragua Has In
vaded Its Territory.

Washington, D. C.-The Minister
of Foreign Affairs of Honduras has
given notice that negotiations look
ing toward the establishment of peace
between his country and Nicaragua
have been terminated by an invasion
of Honduras by Nicaraguan troops.
AS a matter of course, a claim is
expected from Nicaragua soon that
the Honduranian soldiers invaded
Nicaraguan territory.
The State Departments only dis
patch on the subject came from Leslie
Combs, the American Minister to
Guatemala, who said:
1.-THE Minister of Foreign Affairs
of Honduras telegraphs that Nicara-
qua by it's invasion of Honduras has
terminated the pending negotiations
for a pacific settlement"
The situation is most peculiar. 1t
appears that there is a strip of land,
in some places twenty-five or thirty
miles wide, along the frontier that is
disputed territory. The boundary has
long been a bone of contention be-
tween the two countries. Nicaragua
asserts that the crest of the Colon
Mountain range marks the end Of
Nicaraguan territory. Honduras de-
clares that the Wanks River, a num-
Der Of miles to the east, is Honduras
territory. Between these two points
is the disputed strip of land. The
troops of the two countries have mo-
bilized around this territory, so when
there is an advance each side can
claim that it is still in it's own terri
tory.

~Conemaugh River-None Killed.

Pittsburg, Pa.-The Pennsylvania
special, the famous New York-Chi-
cago eighteen-hour train of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, left the tracks at
Mineral Point, near Johnstown. at
11.45 O'Clock p. M, rolled down sixty
feet of embankment and crashed
through the almost solid ice of the
Conemaugh River, the stream that
took such a tragic part in the flood of
almost two decades ago.
The remarkable feature is that not
n of the more than 100 persons on
the train was killed outright. Fifty
OF the injured are at the hospitals in
this city, Altoona and Johnstown.
1t was the most unexpected thing
that happened.
A new piece of track had been put
IN at this point a short time ago. In
stead of the ordinary wood crossties
the track was supported on steel ties,
TO which the rails are bolted. One of
these bolts, the railroad men say,
gave way, the rails spread and the
train, running around a curve at
sixty miles an hour to make up lost
time, was thrown to the river.
When the heavy train went over
the embankment everything went be-
fore it, including the telegraph poles.
For that region it was hours before
the outside world could be commune

when assistance did arrive and a spe-

and were wrapped in blankets and
bedclothes.
Let us give thanks to the Lord
our God that our lives have been
spared" said the pastor as he opened
the brief service. Our presence here
in the flesh at this time is nothing
more than an act of. providence. So
let US utter thanks to Him who has
permitted US to live"
Then down IN their knees went the

the clergyman was heartily Joined in

they could attract no ones attention.
The smoke almost suffocated them
and they had given up hope when
