WRECKED TRAIN BURNS,
FIVE LIVES ARE LOST

st. Paul, MINI, April 17.-Running
at speed of forty miles an hour on
a straight track, the Great Northern
westbound Oriental Limited, which left
here for Pacific coast points Sunday
morning, was derailed at lis o'clock
Monday morning at Bartlett, ". d..
Five persons were killed and a score or
more injured, some OF them seriously.
After the wreck a gas tank exploded
and the train took fire, seven passenger
coaches being destroyed, the sleeper
and observation cars escaping the
flames. There Is said to be some evil
dence that the rails had been tampered
with. Officials of the road say that the
track In this vicinity had been appar-
emily In first class condition, and they
are unable to account for the wreck
on any other theory than that IL was
the deliberate attempt Of miscreants to
wreck the train.
The dead: -

wrecked train burned in Nelson county.
There were many thrilling escapes
reported, and acts OF heroism on the.
part OF the passengers and train crew,
who escaped injury, were numerous.

clared that he, too, believed their task
was hopeless.
Thaw was remanded to the Tombs
without bail to await a second trial
on the charge of having murdered
Stanford White.
Second Trial Late in Fall.
When this new trial would take place
no one connected with the case would
express an opinion. District Attorney
Jerome declared there were many other
persons accused of homicide awaiting
turn with the rest. AS to a possible
change of venue, both the district at
torney and counsel for Thaw declared
they would make no such move. Thaw's S
attorneys will have q conference with
the prisoner to decide on their next
step. They may make an early appli-
cation for bail.
Mr.. Jerome declared he would siren
uously oppose 1t. He added the belief
that as seven Of the jurors had voted
for guilty his opposition probably
would be successful. In that event
Thaw has another long summer before
him in the city prison, for his case on
the already crowded criminal calendar
cannot possibly be reached until some
time next fall.
Thaw Hears Announcement.
The scenes attending the announce
ment by the jury of its inability to
agree was robbed Of any theatrical
ism by the general belief that after
their long deliberation and the reports
of a wide division of sentiment the
jurors could make no other report than
one of disagreement.
Thaw surrounded by members OF
his family, received the news in ahso-
lue silence. When 1t became known
that the jury was about to make its
report, Thaw called his wife to a seat
by his side and sat with his right arm
thrown about her until he was COM
manded to stand and face the jurors
Smiling and confident as he en-
tered the court room, he sank Imply
into his chair when Foreman Deming
B. Smith, in response to a question by
Clerk Penny as to whether a verdict
had been agreed upon, said:
I'VE have not"
Thaw Hoped to Last Minute.
When the disagreement OF the jury
was announced in court Thaw turned
even paler than he has been for the
last several days, and when he was re-
manded back to the city prison at the
suggestion of District Attorney jerome
he hung his head dejectedly.
Up to the very last Thaw had hoped
the twelve men would finally agree on
a verdist of not guilty.
1t was 4:20 o'clock Friday when JUS
tice Fitzgerald sent court messengers to
summon District Attorney Jerome and
counsel for the defendant. Three min
utes later he ordered the jury to report
before him in the court room. The jury
filed in at 4:25 p. nj. There was consid-
erable delay waiting for District Attor-
ney Jerome, who had left the building
Thaw was brought before the jury al
4:29 p. m. He entered smiling and con-
fident as ever. Soon his wife appeared

Aged Woman Locks Up for the Might

Hill City, 8. D., April 17.-Mrs Casler.,

a fire in her cabin on the edge of town.
She took supper at her sons house,

READY TO BREAK
UP; new START
Octopus, WiIted by Crushing
Chicago Defeat, Files An
swer in Big Suit.
GOVERNMENT Is PLEASED
Conviction for Relating Is Expected
to Have Great Moral Effect
on the st. Louis
Cases.

Washington. d. c., April H.-Right
on the heels OF the conviction Of the
Standard Oil in the big rebating case
in Chicago the government Is now
ready to press its much more import
ant case for the dissolution of that cor
poration.
There have been strong intimations
for some time that Standard Oil is get
ting ready for the worst by planning a
reorganization Of its great system Of
properties and corporations on some
basis that will enable it to comply with
the letter of an adverse decision. How
1t will do this without meeting the
spirit of the decision Is only surmised,
but 1t is expected that when the gov
ernment has secured a decree it will
have only begun the fight.
Last Answers Today.
The last answers of defendants
named in the big st. Louis case were
hled today with. the exception Of one
individual defendant, who has been
given till April %.
II is expected the court will over
rule the demurrers OF some of the
defendants, and then the case Will go
on to trial on its merits.
The government is greatly pleased
with the result of the Chicago case,
though its effect on the st. Louis liti-
CATION is only indirect and moral. The
st. Louis case will be tried before the
same court that dissolved the Northern
Securities company and the depart
ment of justice has made this case
follow as closely as possible the lines
Of the decisions made in that famous
action; consequently 1t is expected the
result will be the same, an order Of
dissolution.
The Chicago Victory.
Chicago, April 1.-THE Standard Oil
company, of Indiana, which has been
on trial for the last six weeks before
Judge E. M. lands, in the United
States court, on charge Of having re-
eeived rebates from the Chicago and
Alton railroad on shipments of oil from
Whiting, Ind, to East st. Louis, ILL.,,
has been found guilty on 1,463 counts
put of the original 1903 in the indict-
ment The remaining 440 counts were
dropped from the indictment on ac-
count of errors.
If the verdict is sustained the oil
company is liable to fine of $29, $780,
poo, as the Ellkins law, which the in
hictment charged the company with
having violated, provides a fine Of
Il, 900 to $4,000 for each offense.
Pending a motion for a new trial
which John s. Miller, chief counsel for
The defense, announced would be made
no action will be taken toward collect

defendant. Gentlemen OF the jury,
have you agreed upon a verdict"
I'VE have not" quickly responded
Foreman Deming B. Smith In a voice
that was audible In every corner OF
the court room. Little Mrs. Thaw
reached up and grasped her husbands
hand. Thaw sat down Imply beside
her. She whispered comforting words
in his ear and told him she believed
from what counsel said that there was
a good chance OF his being liberated
on bail.
Justice Fitzgerald. turning to the
jurors, said:
Gentlemen Of the jury: have
deemed it my duty to keep you here
as long as there was a possibility of
your reaching a verdict. l have ar
rived at the conclusion that 1t will
be impossible for you to do 80. I have
consulted with counsel for the de-
fense and the learned district attor-
ney and l am going to discharge you
from further consideration Of the
case, the public, prosecutor and, coun-
sci, for the defendant consenting, to
such discharge"
Justice Fitzgerald called on District
Attorney Jerome and Messrs. Daniel
O'Reilly and Clifford Hartridge. of
Thaw's consel, to arise, and formally
enter their consent
Then Mr.. Jerome spoke: Il will
ask" he said, that the defendant be
remanded in custody as before"
THE defendant will be so remanded," ;"
ordered Justice Fitzgerald, and Thaw
arose and made his way out of the
court room.
The district attorney said he consid-
cred it would be his duty to put Thaw
on trial again.
There are thirty-four homicide
cases in my Office" he said, "and four
teen or fifteen murderers in the
Tombs and they must have their day
in court. The Thaw case must take
its turn"

and after smiling a greeting to him she
was making her way to her accustomed
place when Thaw caught her by the
sleeve and beckoned her into the unoc-
cupied chair beside him. He put his
right arm around her waist.
The Closing Scene.
AS soon as Mr.. Jerome arrived Jus
tice Fitzgerald took his place on the
bench and Clerk Penny began to call
the roll Of the jury. When this was
over he said to Thaw:
THE defendant will rise"
Then for the first time those in the
court room knew that the end Of the
famous trial was at hand.
Clerk Penny next said: THE jury
will rise"

GIRL CANNOT STOP
DANCING, EVEN UNDER
ETHER'S INFLUENCE
Theresa Horns Mania Like
That Which Caused New
England Witch Crusade.

Philadelphia, Pa. April 17.-After
nearly three days of almost continuous
dancing, Theresa Horn, employed by
John Kelly, a rich resident of Ardmore
was placed today under the influence Of
ether in Norristown hospital to save
her from dancing her life away. Even
then her feet kept twitching.
The only parallels, according to the
doctors, are the strange dancing mania
caused by tarantula's bites and the
wierd phenomenon which formed one
Of the foundations for the horrible cru
sade against the witches of New Eng
land.
