ENGINE LEAPS INTO CREEK
PASSENGERS ON WABASH TRAIN
HAVE MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.
Engineer and Fireman kiIIed-AII
Cars But the Empty Stay on
the Treste.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 29.-Two men
were killed and 100 passengers had a
thrilling escape from like fate in a
wreck on the Wabash railroad Sunday
when the engine and one passenger
coach of west-bound train No. q left
the tracks half mile west of the
BridgeVille station near here and
plunged into CHARTERS creek, 40 feet
below.
The dead are: Marion Boyd, engi-
neer, of Rock Station, and Frank Nc
Isaacs, fireman, of Barberton, o.
The train was made up of four pas
senger coaches. 1t was crossing a
trestle over CHARTERS creek when the
engine suddenly leaped from the rails
and shot to the stream underneath,
taking the first coach with it. The
fore part of the engine sank several
feet into the mud of the creek bed.
The coach was smashed to splinters
by it's terrific impact with the locomo-
tive.
By what the railroad men regard as
little more than mere chance there
were no passengers in the. front coach.
The coupling between it and the sec
ond coach was wrenched in two when
it was torn from the trestle by the
engine. None of those in the three
rear coaches knew of the accident or
realized how close they had come to
death until several minutes afterward
when the cars, deprived Of motive
power, slackened their speed and
came to stop.
A new schedule went into effect on
the road Sunday and to this fact many
owe their lives. Under the new SEIZED
ule train No. 81 left this city As min
utes earlier and over so persons
missed the train for this reason. On
account of the reduced number of
passengers all were placed in the
three rear coaches.
The cause of the accident is thus
far a mystery and the railroad officials
will give out no statement until an in
vestigation has been made.

PACKERS MUST PAY FINES.
Federal Court of Appeals Affrms Con-
viction for Relating.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 30-Judge
Sanborn Monday filed the opinion of

accepting concessions of II cents a
hundred pounds from the portion OF
the established rate for the transpor-
tation of provisions on through bills
of lading from Kansas City to Chris
tiana and other points in foreign
countries. Judges Hook and Adams
concur in the opinion.
The lower court imposed penalty
of $4,000 on each of the indicted
firms, and these fines have been
affirmed.
The defendants in the case involved
in the decision are Armour & Co.,
Swift & Co., Morris & Co., and the
Cudahy Packing company.

Coach Horses Join Fox Chase,

They had some spirited horses in
the old coaching days. Just 100
years ago remarkable proof of this
was given, and fortunately recorded
for the establishment of later motor
ing generations, in the case of the Liv-
erpool mail coach. Horses were
changed at Monks Heath, between
Newcastle-underLyme, says the Lon
don Tribune.
On this particular occasion a pack
of foxhounds was heard in full cry
just as the horses from Congleton
were freed from the coach, and they
started off with the harness on their
backs and followed the run to the
finish. One of them, blood mare,
stuck close to the whipper-in and took
every jump after him through the two
hours. And in the evening they took
the return coach to Congleton as mer-
rily as If they had been in the stable
all the time.

FLOOD NEAR OKLAHOMA CITY
Lightning Creek Out of Its Banks
LoWIands Become a Swamp.

Oklahoma City, Okla, April 30
With Lightning creek out of it's banks
and the Canadian river rising steadi-
ly, the people in the lowlands of Capt.
toll Hill, suburb of Oklahoma City,
are facing a situation that will be-
come critical if the heavy rains of the
last "a hours continue.
The lowlands have been converted
into a veritable swamp, crops have
been ruined and much stock drowned.
No human lives have been lost so
far as can be learned. Residents of
the bottoms were forced to leave their
homes Sunday night and several per-
sons were kept in trees all night. One
house fioated down the Canadian river
with a family inside. The occupants
were rescued.
Four inches of rain, accompanied by
heavy hail and high winds, fell
throughout southwestern Oklahoma
and the Texas Panhandle early Nor

are down and communication with
many towns is cut off. The rain will

Union City electric light plant, caus-

from this city and the fire was got un-

An hour after the fire started the
water supply failed through a break

FOLLOWS HER FROM PRUSSIA
TO AMERICA AND PHilA-

Fatally Shoots Himself-Had Tried to
Murder Her in Old Country Where
She First Refused to Become His
Wife.

Philadelphia, April 30.-Marth Ko-
rails, comedy Prussian girl, was shot
and instantly killed here Monday I'M
der unusual circumstances, by Franz
Endrukat, an enraged lover, who after
numbering the girl, sent bullet into
his own brain, inficting a wound
from which he cannot recover.
Endrukat, who was angry because
the girl would not marry him, fol-
lowed her to this country from the
province of Pomerania in Renish
Prussia, where four years ago he at
tempted to kill her by beating her
over the head with a Ratchet After
this attempt he cut his throat in an
effort to end his life, and after lying
for four months In hospital, accord
ing to the information given to the
coroner, he was sentenced to one
year and eight months imprisonment.
Followed Her to America.
After the assault in Europe, Miss
KOraiS, who was the daughter of a
physician and a school teacher, came
to Philadelphia. Endrukat, despite the
refusal of the girl to marry him in his
native country, followed her to Ameri-
ca and to Philadelphia. He went to
work at Cramps ship yards and
boarded in the northern section of the
city. Miss Korais secured place as
maid in the home of August Ram
stein, in the southern section of the
city.
Endrukat met the girl by chance in
the street on Easter Sunday and i'm
mediately endeavored to renew his at
tentions. He was repulsed. He fol-
lowed her about and threatened to
kill her unless she married him. Fin
ally Miss Korais caused a warrant to
be issued for his arrest, but at the
last minute she declined to prosecute
him.
Took Her at Her Word.
Endrukat Monday met Miss Korais
and followed her from the home of
her employer to nearby bakery and
again pressed his suit. The girl told
him she would sooner die than marry
him, whereupon he drew revolver
and sent two bullets into her brain.
He then turned the weapon upon him
self and sent one of the leaden mis-
siles into his head, falling uncon-
scious across the body of the girl. En-

But no vessel of all the number will
typify as much glorious history as
"Old Ironsides." 1t seems almost a
pity, says Troy Times, that the
famous craft, now at Brooklyn navy
yard, cannot be put in shape to sail
down the coast and into the famous

impossible, however, and the once
stately vessel will be towed to her
destination by a commonplace tug.
But even this cannot rob her of her

EVEN IF DISCOURAGED
TRY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured the Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advanced STAGES.

Rheumatism is a painful infamma-
ton of the muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Golf
St., Auburn, Me-, says: 81 had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
brought on by overwork. My heart was
weak and my hands colorless. I was
troubled with Indigestion and vomiting

over. My head ached continuously for

headaches stopped and not long after
ward l felt the pain in my joints be-

DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
such diseases as nervous and general
debility, indigestion, nervous headache,
neuralgia and even partial paralysis and
locomOtor ataxia. AS a tonic for the
blood and nerves they are unequalled.
