DOUBLE WRECK is FATAL.
Debris from Freight Accident Causes
DeraiInent of Fast Train. s

Little Falls, n Y, May 22.-In the
wreck of the Buffalo-Cleveland special,
west bound from New York on the
New York Central railroad, just out
side the eastern limits of this city, at
1870 Tuesday morning, one man was
killed and two were perhaps fatally in
jured. Baggageman Isaac Finley lost
his life Matthew Maher Of Syracuse,
the fireman, was severely burned, and
Engineer John Hyde Of Rensselaer,
was scalded by escaping steam and is
in critical condition.
Just as the Buffalo Cleveland special
was approaching Little Falls an east
bound freight running on the track
paralleling that of the special was de,
rallied by pile of stones. All four OF
the tracks were covered with the
wreckage, and the train hands of the
freight declare that they did not have
time to flag the express until it plowed
into the debris. Four cars of the
special were thrown from the track
and two of them, the buffet car and a
day coach, were overturned and drag
ged for some distance before the
train stopped.
None of the passengers was serious
ly injured. Traffic on all Of the four
tracks was blocked for six hours after
the accident.

Special to Daily Herald.
Des Moines, May 22--Alleging that
c. c. Pugh of Des Moines pictured a
mining scheme in Colorado thai was
too glowing, the Rev. II. P, Lane of
Upland, Cal, and w. b. Stewart of
Ontario. Cal, have brought suit in the
Polk county district court to recover
the amounts paid Pugh for stock,whicn
they claim to be worthless.
In his petition the Rev. Mr. Lane al
leges that Pugh induced him to pay
S510.25 for $4,000 shares of stock in
the wa-Manhattan Mining and De-
velopment company, wnich has proved
to nave no value whatever. Stewart
alleges that he lost $42O in the deal
through the recommendations of the
proposition made by Pugh to Mr.Lane.
Letters written by Pugh giving glow
ing descriptions of the mining prop
erty and its prospects are set forth
in the petitions. A letter written by
the minister to the promoter shows
that ne had complete confidence in
the project and that only lack of
means prevented him from investing
more heavily. =

taken by the women. The loss was not
discovered until after they had left

goods.

goods had been found. The chief of
police in company with Miss Garrison

trunks of goods.
