FAST TRAIN IN DITCH
Passengers Marvel at Their Es-
cape From Death.
EVERY COACH TURNS OVER
Although the Speed Was Fifty Miles
an Hour at the Time of the Accident
No One Is Killed and Only a Few
Persons Injured.

Columbus, O., June 19.-Big -Four
passenger train No. 10, one of the
fastest trains on the New York Central
lines, went thr. ugh an open switch in
the northern part Of the city and is
nov lying on its side along the track.
Several passengers were seriously in
jured. Many of them are wondering
how they escaped being instantly
killed.
The train was rushing along, &C.
cording to one of the passengers, at
fifty miles an hour when it struck the
switch, throwing the passengers in
every direction. The engine continued
along the side Of the track for 200
yards and then turned over. as did the
rest Of the train. Engineer William
T. Smith remained at his post and was
uninjured. His fireman, Joseph Ma
haffey of Cleveland. jumped and was
probably fatally injured.
The train, which is a mate of the
Twentieth Century limited, carried
through sleepers from New York.
These sleepers were wrecked. The
wreck did not catch fire.
The track is twisted and broken up
in a remarkable manner. The first
coach of the train is half buried where
1t tore into the ground. The heroism
Of Engineer Smith in sticking to his
engine is being commented upon by
all the passengers. He applied the
emergency brakes when he saw that
the wreck was inevitable, put on the
air, sanded the track and stuck to his
post. although the huge engine. was
grooming and apparently topping over
every second 1t bumped along the
track.

New York, June 19.-Charles P.

The question at stake is the 10 per

companies promised to give on March

emphatically that they did give the 10

TO |MPEACH ORCHARD
Defense Lays Foundation for In
PRODUCTION Of Evidence.
STAR WITNESS IS RECALLED
Prosecution Offers a Number Of Let
tiers Tending to Stow Conspiracy
Between officials of Miners Union
and self-Ccnfessed Murderer.

Boise. Ida, june 1o.-With Harry
Orchard recalled to the stand, first to
be formally nic.,ared by the defense
for impeachment and then to be re.
directly examined, tie state produced
g, number Of letters written by the
witness and one by the prisoner, Hay
wood, the purpose Of which was tc
show that there had been 6 conspiracy
to deceive Mrs. Orchard of Cripple
Creek as to the whereabouts CT Or.
chard in the spring and summer of
1905.
The defense vigorously protested
against the Introduction Of the matter
on redirect examination, but the court
ruled that If it was improper on re-
direct he would permit the. state to
reopen it's examination.
Orchard swore that Haywood said
in the spring of 1905 that Mrs. Or
chard was repeatedly writing to him
as to Orchards whereabouts and Or
ehard suggested that he write her a
series of letters, date them at San
Francisco and have them delivered
through agents Of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. Two we're thus
written and the state, producing them,
secured their admission. Then one
was written dated at Nome, Alaska,
and given to Marion Moore, then an
organizer for the Western Federation
of Miners, to take to Alaska and mail.
The state produced the letter and,
over objections, secured its admission.
Next the state produced a letter
written by Haywood himself to Mrs.
Orchard showing that the prisoner
had knowledge Of the Alaskan story
and this was admitted in evidence.
Orchard also testified that the re-
plies of Mrs. Orchard were sent to
him through Haywood.
The impeaching questions pro-
pounded by the defense all indicated a
purpose by the defense to show that
at various times Orchard threatened
to kill Steunenberg because Of . de-
sire to be revenged for the loss Of his
interest In the Hercules mine.

Elephants Delight In Dress.

Elephants are passionately fond of
ffnery and delight to see themselves
decked out with gorgeous trappinss.
The native princes of India are very
particular in choosing their state ele-
plants and will give fabulous sums for
an animal that exactly meets the some
what fanciful standards they have
erected.
For these they have made cloths of
silk so heavily embroidered with gold
that two men are hardly able to lift
them.
An amusing instance of elephantine
pride is narrated The elephant which
usually led the state procession of a
rajah being i'll, the magnificent trap
pings were placed on one which had up
to that time occupied only a subordi-
nate place.
The animal, delighted with its inery,
showed its glee by so many little
squeaks and kicks of pleasure that gen.
eral attention was attracted to it.
Not long after another state process
sion was formed, and the previous
wearer of the gold cloths. being restored
to health, took his accustomed place
and trappings, when the now degraded
beast, imagining. perhaps, that he was
being defrauded Of his promotion, was
with great difficulty restrained from
attacking the leader Of the parade.
