WHOLE TRAIN BLOWS UP AT
SANFORD INDIANA.
Death List May Grow to 2o-Injured
Number nearly 35-Car of Powder
Exploded While a Big Four Passen-
ger Train Was Passing-Entire
Train Took Fire. Many Cremated.

Terre Raute, Ind, Jan. 21.-Big Four
accommodation train No. 3 was des-
troyed by the explosion of a car Of
powder at the siding east of Sanford,
Ind. Fifteen persons were killed out
right, and the death list probably will
reach 20, with 80 or IS injured. The
engine, two coaches and baggage car
of the passenger train were derailed.
The identified dead:
Charles Cosnell Paris, III.
John Franklin, brakeman, Ashmore.
Ill.
A. +. Hectar farmer, Elbridge Ill.
Claude Steels Sonford, Ill
Reed Wolfe, wife and two children,
Sanford, Ind.
Three cremated bodies were taken
from the w~reckage and four fright
fully mutilated bodies were found in
the woods some distance from the
wreck. Four other bodies have not
been identified. 1t is believed there
are more in the wreck.
The first intimation people had of
the disaster was a shock which was
felt in Terre Haute and as far east
as Brazil, Ind, and as far south as
Sullivan, Ind. The wires we're blown
down and it was some time before the
Big Four officials here learned of the
explosion.
1T is said the a contained 500 kegs
of powder. All means of communica-
ton between this city and Sanford
were cut off.
The entire passenger train was a
mass of flames and the relief party
was able to reach only the passengers
who had been either blown from the
train or were able to crawl from the
coaches after the explosion.
Two Of the men who were cremated
were still alive when the relief train
from this city reached the wreck. but
the rescuers were unable to reach
them and were compelled to stand
and watch them burn.
The flames lighted up the scene SO
that the did not have to
work in total darkness.
The station at Sanford was turned
into a morgue.
After the physician from Paris. ILL.,.
and members of the relief parry from
Terre Hapte arrived the flames died
down so that the men had to work by
the light of lanterns.
1t is not known how many passen-
gers there were on the train, but It is
said both cars we're full.
Many gruesome finds were made by
the relief party and it is probable that
some of those who were blown TO
piects or were cremated will never be
identified.
From the most definite information
obtainable the freight train had iust
cleared the main track and had come
to a standstill when the passenger
to pass it. II is thought that
the conclusion caused by the passen-
ger train set off the powder in the
freight a 4.

ROAD AFRAID OF PENALTY

in equity was filed in the United States
Circuit Court this afternoon by Nell
son Buckley, George j. Pearson and
other stockholders of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company. Its direc-
tors. managers, agents, and also against
the corporation commission of North

junction against che State officers of
North Carolina restraining them from
publishing and enforcing the recent
rates provlded by the act of the Legis-
lature of North Carolina.
1t alleges that the railroad company
refuses TO contest the rate bill on ac-
count Of the extreme penalties pro-
vided therein, which would aggregate
over million dollars day, or $685.
900, 900 per year. in case the rate was
finally sustained by the highest court.
The bill alleges that committee of
stockholders applied to the corpora
ton itself to protect It's interests. and
it has declined to do SO. The point
is also made that the rate bill was
not read three times. and not signed
by the Speaker Of the House. rub
ber stamp being. substituted in lieu
thereof. The interesting point raised
is that the power conferred upon the
Corporation Commission of North Caro-
lima to fix Just and reasonable rates
is a judicial function, and while the
commission exists with such power, the
Legislature cannot interfere and under
ia keto exercise what, under the policy
of North Carolina is judicial function.

VIII MIKE the Test.
The baseball magnates propose to
test the authority of the county off
GERS to forbid the PLAYING of Sunday
ball.
Secretary Harmon, of the Norfolk
club, says that he knows of no State
law which prohibits baseball in Nir-
ginia on Sundays
II speaking oil sunday baseball in
Virginia. Manager Moss. of the Truck
ers,' stated to-day that he does not
favor playing the game OH Sabbath
days.
eff It is started, l am afraid the
patronage Of the league will be greatly
hurt" said he. 1T must be remem-
bcred that tho, game throughout the
league is now patronized by the minis
tcrs of the gospel and other Christian
people. and to begin desecratinS tbs
Sabbath By playing the game will nc
doubt cause a dtscontinuance OF thell
patronage at all contests.
