IN COLLISION OF CARS
Fourteen Persons Are Killed Near
Charleston, Ill.
FIFTY OTHERS ARE INJURED
Motor Car and Trailer and Traction
Car Come Observation-Disclosures Of
Orders Blamed for Wreck.

NATION, Ill, Aug. 31.-Fourteen per.
sons were killed and about fifty in
jured in a head-on collision between
an i%nterurban express train, consist
ing of a motor car and a trailer, and a
traction car on the Nation and
Charleston electric line Friday
morning. The crash occurred on a
| sharp curve one mile west of Charles
ton, Ill. A confusion of orders re-
ceived over the telephone is said to
have caused the accident.
The cars approached each other at
high speed and the impact was SO ter
rife, that the motor a and trailer
were telescoped by the traction car.
Few passengers had time to escape
by jumping. The passengers were
nearly all en- route to the Coles county
fair at Charleston.
Some of those who were able to
talk say the scene at the wreck was
grewsome. The dead and dying yer
damned together in a mass. Women
were shrieking with pain and children
were crying for mothers who are
thought to be among the dead.
When news of the wreck reached
Mattoon special cars were hurried to
the scene and the dead and injured
were brought to the morgue and hos
pital here. Some of the injured are in
a critical condition.
Medical aid was summoned from
this city, but in the meantime doctors
and others had hurried from Charles
ton, a mile from the disaster. The
dead and injured were extricated from
broken timbers and seats. First aid
was given the MANNED and bruised
and the dead were laid alongside the
track.
The line on which the disaster hap
pened is but twelve miles long, run
ming between NATION and Charles
ton, ILL.,, and is a single track system.
Telephones are placed every few miles
at which orders are transmitted to
the conductors and motormen. A mis-
understanding Of one of these tele.
phone orderes is said to have caused
the disaster.

RICHARD MANSFIELD DEAD
Americas Foremost Actor Dies
at His Summer Home.

New London, Conn, Aug. 31.-After
battling for months with an illness
which last spring forced him to leave
the stage and go abroad in search of
health, Richard Mansfield, the best
known actor in this country, died at
his summer home at Seven Oaks Fri
day morning of a disease of the liver,
aggravated by complications. Last
spring he was compelled to give up his
engagement at Scranton, Pa, after
suffering a ervou breakdown and
went to England in the hope that it
would benefit him. A short time ago
he returned to this country and went
to Ampersand, N. Y, very recently
coming to his summer home at Seven
Oaks. In spite of every effort to pro
long his life it became evident that
he could not live long. He became
unconscious about 2 o'clock Friday
morning and remained so until his
death at $50. At his bedside when
the end came were his wife, his broth
er Felix and his physicians and nurses.
His only child, Gibbs Mansfield, was
sleeping in an adjoining room.

Federal Judge Issues an Injunction
Against Railways.

feoeral Juo9e issues an injunction
Against Railways.
Chicago, Aug. 29.-Judge Kohlsaat,
in the United States circuit court, is
sued a temporary injunction against
fourteen Western railroads and five
express companies restraining them
from establishing on Sept. / a new
rate on shipments of cream, milk and
butter.
The compliments were fourteen
creamery companies of the Middle
West, who charged that the railway
and express companies had combined
to fix an excessive rate that would
drive the creameries out of business.
A protest against the proposed action
of the railroad and express companies
has been filed with the interstate
commerce commission, but, according
to the creamery companies, it could
not be considered by the commission
within a year.
Judge Kohlsaat set Oct. 8 as the
date for the hearing on the applica-
ton for a permanent injunction.

GREAT YEAR FOR FARMERS
Earnings Estimated at One Billion
Dollars Over 1906,

New York, Sept. 3.-The American
farmers earnings are $1.00O,0 100000
greater this year than last, according
to a preliminary report on crops which
will be published in the next issue Of
the American Agriculturist. This big
gain will be entirely due to the in
creased prices of farm products, as
the production in general will be fully
10 per cent less in quantity than in
1906, which was the bumper year.
THE farmer was never in so healthy
q position as he is today-fnancially,
socially, politically, mentally and
spiritually" says the report. "The
increase in the value Of his real estate
has been prodigious. He owes less
money than ever before. He has
greater assets than ever Again, the
farmers wants are greater. He is in
the market for more and better breed
ing stock, farm implements, household
goods and other merchandise

Casa Blanca, Aug. 31.-The fighting
Wednesday near the French camp be-

serious engagements since the occupa-

tack was unexpected and the tribes
men as on previous occasions showed
absolute fearlessness. The caid with
the red coat was again prominent and
his flaming garment vas seen in the
thickest of the fray.
The engagement lasted three hours.
The line of battle extended over two
miles and it is estimated that over 49,
600 Moors were engaged. The loss of
the latter is now known, but it is be-
lieved to have been heavy. French

The opposing leaders are by no

On that point they appear to be as

the Photographers union said he is con-
fident that next Wednesday will see
a complete capitulation of the COM
panies. Superintendent Brooks of the
Western Union said he believed that

OVER EIGHTY KILLED
Great Bridge Across the River al
Quebec Collapses.
EIGHT woRKMEN RESCUED
Estimated That Over Four Score 9th
ers Were Crushed to Death or
Drowned When Bridge Fell.

Quebec, Aug. 30.-The great Que
bee bridge collapsed late Thursday af-
ternoon and o the vast mass OF
steel lies a tumbled wreck across the
st. Lawrence channel. A careful es-
innate places the loss of life at
eighty-four. The bridge fell at exact
ly 5:37 p. m, just as many Of the
workmen were preparing to leave.
The accident vas so terrible in it's
effectiveness in wiping out the lives
Of the men employed that very little
is known as to the cause of the disas-
ter.
The bridge was about a mile and a
3alf i. length and half of it, from the
south shore to midstream, crumpled
up and dropped into the water. Ninety
men were at work on this section Of
the structure and the whistle had just
blown at 5:37 for the men to quit
work for the day when there came a
grinding sound from the bridge in
midstream. The men turned to see
what had happened and an instant
later the cry went up "the bridge is
falling"
The men made a rush s~horeward,
but the distance was too great for
them to escape. The fallen section of
the bridge dragged others after it, the
swapping Orders and cables booming
like the crash of artillery. Terror
lent fleetness to the feet of the fright
ened workmen as they sped shore
ward, but only a few of them reached
safety before the last piece of iron
work on the south shore was dragged
into the river.
Eight Workmen Rescued.
Near the shore the wreckage of the
bridge did not go below the surface
Of the water and eight workmen who
remained above water were rescued
and taken to the hospital at Lewis.
The steamer Glenmont had just
cleared the bridge when the first sec
ton fell. The water thrown up by
the debris came clear over the bridge
Lowered boats. The small boats
plleQ backward n FORWARD over the
sunken wreckage for half an hour,
but there was no sign of life. The
twisted iron and steel had it's vic
tins in a terrible deathgrip. A few
floating timbers and the broken
strands of the bridge toward the
north shore were the only signs that
anything unusual had happened. There
was not a ripple on the smooth sur
face of the St. Lawrence as it swept
along toward the gulf.
All the emen drowned were en-
ployes of '$he Phoenixville Bridge
company and sub-contractors of Que
bee and Montreal.
The Quebec bridge was begun about
seven years ago and it was to be
finished in 1909. Subsidies had been
granted by the federal and provincial
governments and the city Of Quebec,
and the estimated cost of the work
was $4,000, 900.
The Phoenixville Bridge company
of Pennsylvania had the contract for
the construction of the bridge and
was working from both sides of the
river.
