TRY TO WRECK
FAST B. & O.
EXPRESS
Wreckers Fail in Their At
tempt, but Ditch Through
Freight Train.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 5.-Train wreck
ers were at work last evening on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Scott
Haven and Suterville, thirty miles east
of here. Spikes, 1t is said. were drawn
from the east-bound tracks for the pur-
pose, it is thought, of catching the New
York express, which leaves Pittsburg at
$3.50 o'clock In the evening.
The wreckers, however, were deceived
by the number of freight and passen-
ger trains passing this point last even
ing, and the express got through be-
fore the spikes were drawn.
The next train following 1t, however,
a fast freight express for Philadelphia
and New York, was not so fortunate.
When the big engine struck the rail-
from which the spikes had been drawn,
the rail turned over, derailing the en-
gine and twelve cars. The tank of the
engine is in the Youghiogheny River,
which is a distance of from 35 to 40
feet below the east-bound track
Five of the derailed cars turned over
merchandise being scattered along the
tracks, while the other cars completely
blocked both tracks. The fireman and
tho engineer escaped injury by jump
ing. The west-bound track was re-
opened for traffic about midnight, but
the east-bound track was not reopened
until after 10. o'clock this forenoon.

While under the influence of LIQUOR

swallowed small dose of carbolic acid.
Word was sent to DIR. Joseph c. Froe-
Itch, who lives block away, and when
he reached the place he found Schuster
lying on his back, very sick man.
DR.. Froelich discovered that Schuster
had spilled more of the acid over his
face, hands and clothing, than he had
swallowed. The physician gave him
temporary treatment, and by that time
the police ambulance arrived, and as
none of the members of the Schuster
family were at home, DR.. Froelich
thought the best thing to do was to
send the man to hospital
Two companions of Schuster assisted
him to the street and led him to an
ambulance from st. Barnabas's Hos
pital
At the hospital DIR. Froelich explained
the circumstances and the authorities
there felt that the patient was too much
under the influence Of liquor and re-
fused to allow him to remain. It is
said that it was drink that led Schuster
to drink the acid.
The bottle. which was more than half
full, was taken In charge by DR.. Froe-

Should Be Thrown Quietly Clerk
Hears Complaint.

The New idea men are taking steps to-
day to have the Regular" Republican
nominating petition froh the third district
of the Ninth Ward invalidated. The re-
formers claim that the man who made the
a0Ddavit as to the genuineness of the sig
natures to the petitions admitted that he
had sworn to signatures that he had not
witnessed.
Today r. Arthur Heller, a New Idea
man, went to the Office of City Clerk
James f. Connolly and registered COM
plaint against the issuance of ballots and
other necessary primary election material
for the district in question: on the score
that there was fraud in the composition of
the petition.
The city clerk. however, hxs no author
ity in the matter. He must obey the order
of the courts when the charges shall have
been disposed of legally.
The city clerk promised Mr.. Heller to
hold the ballots and the ballot boxes until
the last possible moment to allow the
New Idea men to take advantage of any
legal action they may take to have the
petitions invalidated.

BROKERS FAIL
WATSON & co. GO UNDER IN
NEW YORK.
Dealt Mainly in Grain and Produce and
Lately Dabbled Considerably in
Railroad Stocks.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE failure of
Watson & Co, grain and commission
brokers, was announced on the New
York Stock Exchange today. 1t is un-
derstood that the firm has been very
active in trading in Northwestern Rail-
road stocks lately.
The firm is composed Of Lewis T..
Watson, the stock exchange member;
Henry Fl. Watson, Fl. V. Jones and G.
Il. Anderson. 1t has branch offices in
Duluth, Hot Springs, Va, Minneapolis
and Winnipeg.
w. Frank Newell has been appointed
receiver for the firm.
Mr.. Newell is the firms office manager
The doors of Watson e. Co.'S office in
Broad street were closed after the an
nouncement of the failure, a placard an
nouncing that the firm had assigned for
the benefit of its creditors No statement
as TO the cause Of the failure or as to the
firms resources was obtainable but one Of
the clerks said that statement would
probably be issued later.
Watson g. Company have been large OPP
orators in grain. II. V. Jones, one of the
members of the finn. is crop expert, and

Northern and Northern Pacific stocks,
and is reported to have suffered severely
In a decline of those stocks last Decem-
ber.
The failure had evidently been anticipated
on the stock exchange, where prices were
wealS during the morning on rumorS that
the failure was impending.
The actual announcement did not induce
any considerable selling. and spectators
for the decline who had been making con-
tracts to sell earlier in the day were forced
to buy at advancing prices to cover those
contracts. Prices Of stocks were at the
highest Of the day shortly after the failure
was posted.
There was a sharp decline of about two
cents a bushel in the price of grain in the
market following the failure. Watson g.
Co. had been predicting that grain prices
would advance, and 1t is generally UNDER
stood that their customers had proiited in
that market. 1t was therefore concluded
that their losses were practically all in
stocks.

OF BOY
CUT IN TWO
BY TRAIN
Young ThOrne Knox Net
Horrible Death While
on Pleasure Trip.

After saying goodby to his mother
yesterday afternoon at o'clock, Thorne
Radcliffe Knox. the 13-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. William r. Knox, of 322
Elm street, started on a grabbing ex-
cursion to Newark Bay. His mangled
body was taken home this morning.
The boys life was crushed out by a
drill engine on the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road, near the bridge across Newark
Bay.
The boy had caught goodly num-
ber of crustaceans, and was on his way
home when the accident happened. Tho
hour was late, and it is believed that he
made an effort TO board a moving train
which was bound for the lower section
of this city, missed his footing and fell
under the wheels. His body was cut
in half and his left hand was sew
cred
The body was taken to a pumping
station by the train crew, and after
being viewed by County Physician Dan
iel Elliott. 1t was removed to Mullins
morgue on Lafayette street
At the Knox home this morning little
could be learned about the accident.
Thorne's parents said that he was very
daring and had often been cautioned.
Young Knox was a pupil of the Ann
Street School, and was considered ex-
ceptionally bright by his tutors. He
was also an attendant of the Central
Methodist Episcopal Church and a pupil
in the Sunday School.
