MANY DIE IN WRECK.
TRAIN DIsPATcHER'S ERROR

Excursion Train and Freight Collide
In New Hampshire While Under
High Speed-Twenty-Ffv Are
Killed Outright

Twenty-Five lives were sacrificed to

thirty other persons. were badly in.
jured in train wreck which occurred
just before daylight Sunday four miles
west of Canaan Station in New Hanp-
shire on the Concord division of the
Boston and Maine Railroad.
An operator at Canaan station, it is
said, by udsconstruing orders sent a
freight train directly in the path of
crowded excursion train. The two
trains met in a head-on collision at
high speed. The resulting crash made
a pile of splinters out of a light day
coach which was crowded with women
and children who were returning from
fair at Sherbrooke. Province of Que
bee, 100 miles over the Canadian Dor
der.
The excursion train was rounding a
curve four miles west of Canaan Sta
ton when the engineer saw the head
light of the freight train. The passen-
ger train was running down grade and
had attained a speed of nearly fifty
miles an hour. There was no chance
OF averting a collision, as the curve
at that point is sharp and the trains
were within few feet of each other
when the engineers saw the danger.
Brakes were thrown on and the en-
CINE crews jumped to safety.
YTsl-
seconds warning. The jar caused by
the setting of the brakes was follow
ed by a grinding crash and the coach
es doubled up as if they had been made
of cardboard. The baggage car, direct
ly behind the engine, telescoped the
coach and reduced it to kindling wood.
1t was hours before some of the in
jured were taken from under the
wreck. When the last body was
taken from the wreck it was found
that twenty-four had been killed out
right and that others were 50 badly
hurt that they would die.
The baggage car in the rear of the
engine was hurled back into the crowd
ed day coach like a great ram and
tore it asunder from end to end. AS
it did so the rear end of the baggage
car rose up, so that when it stopped
at the forward end of the smoker, after
tearing through the day coach, the car
was almost perpendicular.
The shattered day coach was crowd
ed with more than fifty people. Short
ly before the accident a few of the
men had gone back into the smoking
car in the rear, leaving the.women to
get little sleep in the straight seats.
One of those who escaped said that as
the train was rounding the curve some
one in the front began to sing, so that
nearly every one was awake when the
crash came.

Cassie Chadwick, the bank wrecker,
was suddenly stricken blind while having
an interview with her son in the Ohio
penitentiary, and now lies in the prison
hospital in a critical state. During a
conversation with her son the former
witch of finance, who victimized dozens
of capitalists and bankers, fell into a
nervous collapse, which was at first mis-
taken for death. She was carried to the
hospital in the female department by her
son and female attendants, and DR.. Gar

When DIR. Garrett arrived she was con-
scious and quiet mentally, but her circu-
lation was almost stopped and she was
blind. DIR. Garrett Immediately admins
tered nitroglycerin. Wild with anxiety,
her son, who had come from Cleveland,
stood over the bed, urging the physician
TO do his best to save her. Cassie revived
within twenty minutes, although she re-
manned weak and sightless. DIR. Hell
mick, the night physician at the peniten-

for nervous trouble. DIR. Garrett says
she is neurasthenic and that her nervous
system is in utter COLLAPSE. Her illness
is due to the strain she underwent during

MARCH OF THE G. A. r.
VETERANS PARADE THROUGH
SARATOGA N. Y.
Gov. Hughes and National 0Gicers
Lead Lac Through blaze of Ma
tionai CoIors and Then Review
RanE.2---Flag Draped Grants Bier.


Martial music, the old wartime tunes
to which the soldiers of the Civil War
had marched i'll many campaigns,
awakened Saratoga ut an early hour
Wednesday-the day of the parade of
the veterans who attended the national
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic. 1t was expected that 10000
paraders would be in line and the
weather, which was unfavorable in the
early morning, gave promise of bright
ening before the hour scheduled for the
start
Significant of the failing strength Of
the veterans was the fact that the pa
rading distance was reduced to one
mile-the shortest ever fixed for the
national encampment For the first
time the parade was limited to mem
bers of the Grand Army instead of be-
ing open to all survivors of the war.
The national eolors covered the
fronts of buildings, were festooned at
every convenient point, strung in rows
at short intervals across the streets and
completely covered the interior of the
great convention hall. where the ses-
sions of the encampment were held.
Flag Recalls Gen. Grant.
One of the features of the parade was
the presence of a big flag which covered
the body of Gen. Grant on its way from
Mount McGregor to the tomb. In Gus
tody Of the grenadier guard, command
ed by Col. f. NJ. Sterrett of st. Louis.
of which every man was over six feet
tall and each representing one of the
forty-fiye departments of the G. A. r.,
this old flag brought up the extreme
rear, escorted by the whole parade and
being carried at last along the whole
line of review
As planned, the national officers in
carriages with Gov. Charles e. Hughes
led the line, the cnief of staff in COM
mand being j. Cary Winans Of Toledo.
The department of New York State, al
though entitled by seniority to fifth
place, selected as hosts the left of the
line, which included representation of
every department, including Alaska,
and of every branch Of the service. The
parade was reviewed by Gov. Hughes
and the national officers of the G. A. r.
The days program began with a re-
ception ut Congress hall, the New York
State headquarters, in honor of Gov.
Hughes at II 80 a. IN. At u 80 lunch
con was served by the department of
New York to the Governor, Commander
in Chief Robert B. Brown and his staff,
past national officers, department COM
manders and the other distinguished
guests. Meanwhile there had been re-
unions of the various organizations.
The real business of the convention
began Thursday with the annual adj
dress of Commander Brown, reports
of officers and committees and election
of officers.

rwo BANDITS Loot TRAIN.



Two masked bandits early Thursday
held up and robbed the Great Northern's
Oriental Limited train six or seven miles
west of Rexford Mont They found the
regular through safe empty and stole a
quantity of registered mail. This is the
latest of repeated efforts to loot the Great
Northern trains of large sums, and recalls
the fact that about two years ago two
train robbers, after serving sentences in
prison, tried to blackmail the company
out of $4,000 by threats to blow up
trains. Heavy charges of dynamite were
found under several bridges after the
threats were made In the holdup Thurs
day morning the robbers crawled over the
tender and at the point of their guns
commanded the engineer to stop the train.
Then they ordered the engineer to go
back with them TO the express car, and
instructed him to tell the express messen-
ger, mail clerk and baggage man to go
back into the coaches. While this was
being done the robbers kept up a con-
tinual fusillade with their guns to terrify
the passengers and keep them within the
coaches. After the messenger, baggage
man and mail clerk had left their cars,
the robbers went through the mail cars
and robbed the sacks of large quantity
of registered mail. Then they went into
an express car which -arried an overflow
of mail, baggage and express and which
contained a regular through safe. This
they attempted to blow open. After ex-
ploding three charges, the safe was open
ed and it was found to be empty. The
robbers did not enter the regular express
car in which the messenger had been rid
ing. On finding the safe empty the high
waymen helped themselves to the regis
tered mail, and after firing parting
volley, disappeared.

| Physicians Declare Them RESPONSE
bic for Spreading Disease
If Chicago people had stayed at home
| during their vacations this summer and
drank good lake water, the health de-
partment would not be coping with nearly
200 cases of typhoid, as is the case at
present. This is the conclusion of the
health officers who have made an exhaus-
tive investigation of the situation. They
wondered what was causing SO much ty-
phoid, as the city itself is healthy enough.
Calling for facts from attending physi-
clans, the guardians of Chicago's sanitary
| welfare found that 51.9 per cent of the
| total number of typhoid were contracted
outside the city. This figuring was made
| on the basis of known cases. There may
be many other cases in the city for all
the Board of Health knows as a number
of otherwise careful doctors have habit
Of keeping the news to themselves when
they are treating disease which should
be reported to the department. The num-
Der of typhoid cases directly traceable to
the outside vacation habit is much larger
than last year, when the percentage was
placed at SO.
The beautiful sparkling spring water"
which many resort prospectus tells
about is good enough to swim in, but the
Chicago health department would advise
the seeker after country joys to take
along a cask of the real thing taken from
Lake Michigan for drinking purposes The
doctors think some way that a man is
mors apt to take typhoid when travelling
than when at home attending to his BUSH
ness. They do not wish to be understood
as knocking" on the vacation habit, of
course. They merely want to warn peo-
pie so that vacations may be taken on
an intelligent basis.

That State control of interstate rail-
roads has ceased by virtue of the Hep
burn rate law is the broad ground of an
appeal to the federal courts now made
by the Missouri Pacific railroad from a
writ issued by the Supreme Court of
Kansas. The writ was issued in favor Of
the Larrabee Milling Company of Stat
ford, Kan, to compel the Missouri Pacific
to continue the practice of delivering cars
to the mill over Santa Fe tracks, which
cross at that point, at the old rate of So
a car. 1t was conceded that three-hfths
OF the mills business was interstate. The
defendant railroad now asserts that the
State court has no jurisdiction, and that
the road is wholly under the control of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.

GUARD FOR POLICY HOLDER.
Court Decides He Can Rescind Con-
tract if Fraud Is Found.


tract if Fraud Is Found.
The Appellate division of the Supreme
Court, sitting at Saratoga, n. Y, has
handed down a most important decision.
The effect of the decision is that where
an insurance company is guilty of fraud
on a policy holder at the inception of the
contract, the policy holder, on discovering
the fraud, can rescind the contract and
recover all the premiums paid, with inter-
est, and the defrauding company must
stand the loss that ensues from its wrong
doing. The case at issue was that of
John Moore, a lawyer and editor of the
Elmira Telegram, against the Mutual Re
serve Life Insurance Company Of New
York. The case was tried in Elmira be-
fore Justice Lyon liz May, 1900 Justice
Lyon found that the fraud alleged had
been committed by the false statements
made to Mr.. Moore personally at the New
York Office, declared that the policy should
be rescinded, but charged the plaintiff
with the cost of the company for carry
ing the life insurance for fourteen years
and gave to plaintiff damages of only
1922. Mr.. Moore at once took an appeal,
asking that Justice Lyons decision be
modified by giving him judgment for So
$780, the amount he had paid as premiums,
with interest, and as modified the judg-
ment be affirmed. The insurance company
also took an appeal, asking that the entire
decision by Justice Lyon be reversed. The
decision establishes a precedent in this
line of cases, and it is probable that 1t
will be carried to the Court of Appeals.
However in that event the insurance
company will have to give bond.

A LIFE FOR SCIENCE.
CHICAGO WOMAN MAKES MOST
HEROIC OFFER.
Offers to Die that Test of New Means
of Resuseifation May BE Made
Upon Her-Detective's Narrow Es-
cape.

Mrs. Harriet A. Martyr of Chicago has
offered to give her life in the cause of sci
ence. Prof. George Poe of South Nor
walk, Va, who has invented an artificial
respirator which he claims viii resusci-
tate persons who have died of asphyxis-
ton, has received this letter from Mrs.
Martyr: Il have heard that your wonder
full invention has brought back to life
dumb creatures drowned or killed by gas
or electricity. / will be glad to offer my
self as human experiment. l am very
healthful woman of % years." The letter
was addressed from the Saratoga Hotel,
Chicago. Prof Poe declared that he
could not accept Mrs. Martyrs offer. 1T
would mean that we must first kill her de-
hberately.' The machine, it is claimed,
restores life by pumping air into the lungs
until respiration and heart action start
again, at the same time pumping out the
poisonous gases that have been the cause
of death.

STEAMSHIPS FAST TRIP.
Lusftanfa Crosses the Atlantic fn Five
Days and ga Minutes.

After a spectacular ocean race
against time, which held the attention
IT the world for five days, the Lusi-
tania reached Sandy Hook lfghtship.
EThe giant turbine liner of the Cunard
Line made the voyage from Queens
town in days "a minutes
The Lusitania beat the best time
ever made by her sister ship of the
Cunard Line, the Lucania-fve days,
seven hours and twenty-three minutes
by over six hours, but was thirty
five minutes behind the time set by the
Hamburg-American liner, Deutschland
Sixty-one years ago the little steam
ship Europa of the Cunard Line, with
old-fashioned engines, crossed the At
lantic from Liverpool to New York in
eleven days and three hours, breaking
the worlds record at that time. Then
began the contest for supremacy of the
sea which led to the building Of the
feet Lusitania.
The Lucania's record of five days,
seven hours and twenty-five minutes,
made from Queenstown to New York
in 1894, was at an average speed of
21.S1 knots over a course of 2,779
miles.
Then the North German Lloyd and
American lines began to battle for the
western record from Southampton to
New York, which was held between
1898 and 1896, by the steamships Paris,
New York and St Paul of the Ameri-
can Line The st. Paul in 1896 made
the voyage in six days and thirty one
minutes.
Then the North German Lloyd Com
pasy put over the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, and the new vessel in 1897 be-
came the marine wonder of the world
when it hung up record of five days,
twenty-five hours and thirty-five min
utes from Southampton to New York.
The big Kaiser created a new record
in 1899, when it steamed from Cher
bourg to New York, a distance of 1850
miles, in five days. eighteen hours and
fifteen minutes. This record was low
cred in the same year by the Kaiser
to five days, seventeen hours and thir-
ty-seven minutes.
