number OF people have been killed
That the wreck is a serious one IS
Indicated by the number OF surgeons
being rushed TO the sn0t with the
Brecking train. The details OF the de-
raiIneut Of the train. which was crowd
ed with eXcJrsionists and others. are as

IS SHOT
RIDING ON TRAIN
Injury Follows Visit OF
Syrian to Papal Delegate
in Washington.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Is.-The Rev.
Father B. Bellama. pastor Of Syrien
Church IN Scranton. IS In the Hahnc-
mann Hospital today with a bullet
wound IN his right arm.
He was shot while asleep in the chair
car Of a Pennsylvania railroad train
from Washington to this city last night.
He had visited PapaI Delegate FalConiO
in Washington.
The story told by Mr.. BeIlama is
that he entered the car at Washing
ton After riding for some distance, he
went into the dining car. Then he re-
turned 10 his seat and fell asleep he
was awakened by a sharp pain in his
arm, and opening his eyes, saw blood
running down his wrist
He bound up the wound. and. on ar
riving at Broad Street station, was tax
en- to the hospital by a brakeman.
Mr.. Bellama told those who assisted
him that he had been IN washington 10
see the papaI delegate He said his
business was of a pacific nature, and
that he knew Of no enemies who would
seek 20 do him harm The strange Lea-
ture Of the occurrence is that no One
on the train heard the shot. Mr.. Bellc-
ma says he did not carry a revolver.
and no weapon was IN his clothing when
he entered the hospital, yet there is q
bullet In his arm
Father Bellama had sufficiently re-
covered this noon 10 discuss the shoot
ing.
Only one solution could be advanced
that he was shot as q result Of fne
church war raging about the Syrian
Catholic Church, at Ninth and Button
wood streets, this city, the trustees
OF which. despite their prOfessed al
legiance to the Church Of Rome, refuse
to turn over the keys OF the church to
the archbishop.
Father BeIlama said he had been sent
for by Archbishop FalcOniO, the Papal
delegate. for a conference N Washing
ton. and was returning with q message
Of peace and good will when shot.
Father Bellama admitted that his
mission was one of mediation.

PapaI Delegate Gone
When Visitor Called

While neither Monsignor FalconiO, the
papal delegate TO the United States, nor
Father Hughes, secretary of the apOs-
tolic legation, is in Washington, serv-
ants IN the legation building remember
visits made by the Rev Dellama yester-
day. According 10 the servants, the
priest first arrived at the legation about
$3.50. one-half hour after Father Hughes
had left it for New York.
When informed that Monsignor Fal-
COMO was not in. but was expected at
any moment, he left the legation. About
IS O'Clock last night he returned again.
After waiting for half an hour or more
he informed the housekeeper that he
must return to his parish at once.
He appeared very much excited, ac-
cording to the hOusekeeper, and wrote
a letter to MOnsignor FalConi0 before
he left. He left one Of his cards, which
states that he Is a Marontte missionary.
His address is given as 2l6 North Ninth
avenue, Scranton, Pa
