-
catastrophe ever recorded in Belgium
took place near Contich. six miles
southeast of Antwerp, this morning,
when. because of a misplaced switch,
~-she Antwerp express, running fifty
miles an hour, crashed into train
loaded witt pilgrims on a siding. Every
car OF the pilgrim train, except the
foremost one, was telescOped. The cars
were literally ground 10 pieces, and
practically ali the passengers were
esther killed or badly injured. About
MY dead people already have been re-
moved from the wreck, and succor is
being extended 10 more than 100 III
Jured
Scenes of Horror.
Surgeons, doctors and nurses arrived
early from Antwerp at the scene of the
wreck. Helpless wounded persons are
still pinned under the debris. and the
scene is one OF horror beyond descrip-
ton.
The station has been converted into
q temporary mOrgue and Is rapidly
filling up with the dead and injured.
Everything is being done TO alleviate
the suffering of the injured. All the
clergy and physicians OF COntich and
the soldiers from the ne ghboring bar
racks are taking part i'm the work. In
addition 10 the surgeons who hurried
down from Antwerp. s,n ambulance
corps from Amiens is also on the
scene.
Locomotive Jumped the Track.
II now appears that the locomotive
of the express train jumped the track
and plunged into and completely
wrecked the last three passenger
coaches OF the train on the siding.
The collision occurred at 06 a. m.
just as the express from Antwerp 70
Brussels was entering the depot at
COntich. The train loaded with pill
grims was bound for Turnbout
The work OF extricating the dead
and wounded from the debris appalled,
even the stoutest of the rescuers
Many of the bodies had completely
lost all human shape and were re-
dUced TO pulp, heads, arms and legs
having been ground off by the wheels
and scattered through the wreckage.
Three decapitated bodies were found
twenty feet from the wreck.
Workmen and Peasants.
The occupants of the cars were
mostly workmen and peasants. The
wounded persons were transferred
from Contich 10 Antwerp and Brussels
as rapidly as possible. A second-class
coach was overturned by the force OF

ed were so pinned down by wreckage
that the rescuers had TO make use Of

Basis of Assertion on Remark
abIe Canvass Made in
That State.
HUGHES NOT FAR BEHIND.
DURING PAST WEEK PRESENT
GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK HAS
MADE RAPID GAINS, PARTY
MANAGERS SAY.

IN predicting that New York state
will give a plurality both to Mr.. Taft
and Governor Hughes, republican
campaign managers base their assert
ion on a remarkable canvass which
has just been completed covering
every election district in the state.
1t was made by 1900 men. and it
records the intentions of 100000 vot-
ers, divided about equally between
the two regular parties.
The canvass gives Taft a plurality
of more than 100000 in the state and
indicates that Governor Hughes will
not run more than 10000 behind him,
which means that the governor will
be reelected by at least 10000. The
canvass shows further, the party
managers say, that the tide has set
in for Hughes ad that he has made
big gains during the last week.
No more extensive canvass was ever
made by either party In this state
than the one on which the claims of
the republicans are based, and they
say that they are satisfied that 1t is
accurate. 1t was made under the per-
sonal supervision of William l.. Ward.
national committeeman from the state.
In some sections of the state the can
vass shows that there is a very strong
feeling against Governor Hughes. 1t
shows falling off IN his vote from
that Of Mr.. Taft in practically all the
counties Of the state, but it does not
indicate, Mr.. Ward says, the big loss
that many predictions have shown.
1t shows many of the old line DEM
ocrats who stood out against Mr..
Bryan four years ago are going
straight through this year, but 1T
shows also that in the cities there are
a good many merchants and business
men, ordinarily democratic who are
going to vote for Mr.. Taft.

We shut ourselves In, just as Mr.. Yeamss
was admitted to the drawing room by the
other door.
I would have given anything to know
what was taking place there; but could
not well put my ear to the keyhole in the
presence of Little Laure, so had to con-
tent myself with the hope that Nurse
Gertrude would see through the wiles Of
her crafty visitor. II was exasperating
to hear the murrnur Of voices and not to
distinguish what was being said, however,
l learned later on from certain source
what took place in this interview, and |
will set II down here as IL had seen and
heard all--which, in my mind, / certain
were made known to me.
Standing by the door as he closed it
Lynn made a grave inclination of his head
expressive of respect, contrition--any-
thing you like; then he stepped forward
hastily with his hand out, his head erect,
his chest thrown forward, in a manly,
honest way. She put her hand in his.
Can you forgive me?" he asked, hold
ing her hand and speaking in that rapid,
full undertone that is supposed to express
earnest anxiety. Gertrude ~ he added
with tender infection, putting forth his
left arm to take her by the waist.
Nothing succeeds like audacity with
certain women; but Gertrude was not Of
that set, and, quietly shrinking to avoid
his touch she withdrew her hand and
seated herself with the slightest depreca-
tory movement of her head. l can see
that graceful. dignifed movement as
write--a kind of ''no-thank-you" move
ment. With deep sigh Lynn dropped
his hands by his sides and sank into
chair.
II ought TO have spoken out at the very
first, know that" he said, in the tone
of a man candidly admitting an amiable
weakness. II ought to have given you an
explanation but l was beside myself that
morning" ...
"As you have not offered any explana-
tion since, am TO suppose that you have
been beside yourself rather over week, J"
said Miss Dalrymple, with sympathy in
her voice.
Indeed | have" he said.
''Irhen | tlynk a little apparent eccen-
tricity of coryu must certainly be for
given" and J, as if she had dismissed
the Subject, sli, asked in a tone of ordi-
nary ciyility, And when did you re-
turn?"
.'Oh, I---er--came back this morning"
replied Mr.. Lynn uncomfortably.
'Dr Awdrey has asked frequently af-
ter you. / suppose .ou have not had
time to call upon him." .r
"No-that is, yes; saw him coming
along"
How very fortunate. Mr.. Keene has
been inquiring about you. OF course, you
have not seen himr"
Not knowing how much she knew, he
had to admit the fact that he had seen
me also.

fed nearly ererynodys curiosity. Isn't it

Tree after tree of this large growth
