Topeka, Kan, Jan. 2.-One of the
most disastrous wrecks in the history
Of the Rock Island railway system &C.
CURED near Alta Vista, fifty miles
west of Topeka. when passenger train
No. %, southbound, and No. 80, north
bound, collided headon while travelling
at a high rate of speed. The brunt
Of the collision was sustained by No.
20, which was heavily laden with pas
into the ditch and several of them
caught fire and were consumed. Four
white men, a negro porter and thirty
Mexican laborers lost their lives and
%tifty-five persons were injured. Many
of them, pinioned in the wreckage,
were burned to death and only their
ashes remain. Twelve Of the injured
were seriously hurt and it is believed
leans were en- route to Ell Paso to
work for the Rock Island railroad.
But few persons on train No. 80 were
seriously injured. The cars on this
train were not badly damaged.
But few trainmen were injured. Tho
and most Of the trainmen jumped in
time to save themselves.
Telegraph Operator Responsible.
Blame for the collision seems to
rest upon John Lynes, the telegraph
operator at Volland, who disappeared
but was captured later. Orders had
been issued for No. 20 and No. 80 to
pass at Volland. These orders had
been sent to the operator at Volland,
who vas instructed to hold No. 20 at
that point. 1t Is stated he for some
reason failed to deliver the order to
the crew of No. 20 and the latter train
went by, meeting No. 30 a few miles
west of Volland.
Lynes fed before the wreck &C.
CURED after first forecasting the i'm
pending collision. Five minutes be-
fore the trains met he called up the
dispatcher and wired him as follows:
NO. 20 has gone and 1 have gone
also"
Then he left his key. Even with
this dispatch i'll hand there was no
possible way vi preventing the wreck.
Both trains were heavy ones. having
ten cars each, including Pullman
sleepers and tourists, chair cars and
coaches, smokers and baggage cars.
No. % was crowded to the doors with
passengers, bus the number of travel
ers on No. 80 a not large.

Like Fate-Half a Dozen Others Are
Injured, Two Probably Fatally, and
the Interior of the Banking Room Is
Completely Wrecked.
Philadelphia. Jan. 5.-Shortly be-
fore noon an unknown man hurled a
bomb in the Fourth Street National
bank at Fourth and Library streets.
The resulting explosion tore the bomb
thrower 10 pieces and killed w. u. Nc
Lear, the cashier. Half a dozen
other employees of the bank and
patrons We're injured.
Two Of those hurt may die. The
bomb thrower had demanded money
from the president, Richard P. Rush
ton. When this was refused he took
the missile from under his coat and
hurled it at Mr.. Rushton. A slight
fire followed the explosion and ten
ants In the Bullitt building, in which
the bank is located, fled from their
offices. The police We're quickly on
hand and they placed the vaults and
the securities of the institution under
under a heavy guard. The body of
the cashier was badly mangled and
the bomb thrower himself was blown
to fragments. The only clue to the
identity of the bomb thrower was a
bunch OF keys found in a portion of
she clothing, attached to which was a
plate Inscribed r. Steele, Garner,
Ia"
The Fourth Street National bank is
the largest financial institution in the
city and occupies the greater portion
Of the first floor of the Bullitt build
ing in the heart of the financial dis
trict. The explosion was terrific and
it caused tremendous excitement in
the crowded building and the street.
Interior of Room Devastated.
At the time the explosion occurred
all the vaults were open, books were
piled on desks and papers of all sorts
of value We're lying on desks prepare
tory to being put away for the day.
The explosion devastated the interior
of the big banking room. Glass and
wooden partitions were wrecked and
Ieveled to the ground as though a
cyclone had swept through the place.
Desks were ruined and iron bars We're
twisted, in fact there was hardly an
object left intact in the room.
The explosion blew every one in the
banking room to the floor and for a
moment they were dazed. Many of
them, not knowing what had hap
pened and fearing that the building,
which is an eight-story structure, was
falling. made a rush for the door, MI.
Rushton among them. The roar Of
the explosion brought the tenants on
all floors to their feet and a general
rush was made to the elevators and
The stairways.
the bank wrecked. but the large win
dows looking out on a small side street
were blown out. The explosion scat
tered all the books and papers OF the
Institution that We're not in the vaults
at the time. Some of them were
blown out OF the windows and were
returned by those who found them. 1t
probably will take days before the
bank officials are able TO tell how
many of the valuable documents in
the banks custody We're destroyed, as
the whole place was strewn with torn
bits of naDeT.
