Old Railway Track Found in River Bed.
A half mile of ties and railroad iron
have recently been discovered in the AL
legheny river between Oil City and
Franklin. The rails show the trademark
'B. B. l. c." indicating that they were
turned out by the Brany's Bend Iron
company, the first to manufacture iron
mountains As the Franklin branch of
the former Atlantic & Great Western,
now the Erie railroad, and the Franklin

Who Killed Saloonist

MADISON, Wis, March 6.-Gov. Da-
wilson has issued a communication of the
sentence of John Bernhard of Wauke-

mutation is in effect pardon, as the
subject has already served more than
thirty years in prison. When a boy in

HOPELESS RESCUE WORK.

Ihe building was completely destroyed,
only the outside brick walls remaining
standing The floors and roof fell into
the interior early in the fire, making the
rescue of intact bodies absolutely hope
less.
AS soon as firemen and volunteers could
get close enough attempts were made to
pluck bodies from the death heaps at the
doors. 1t was found that the flames had
practically incinerated the bodies. Fire
men with rakes, forks and shovels, turned
up blackened bones. little bIackened
skulls. and masses of charred flesh, but
bodies recognizable as such were no
longer to be found. A fearful stencil
added to the horror of the scene.
Miss Anna Moran, principal of the
school. who escaped, says the children
made mad rush for the door as soon as
the alarm of fire was sounded, but were
driven back by the choking smoke:
Later the flames prevented the escape of
many of them from the burning building.

building and were early on the scene be-
lieve that most of the loss of life was
due to the fact that all of the rooms
were dismissed at once.
Pupils pouring down the stairs made
for the doorways already full of children
escaping from the lower floors. The ex-
its were soon choked. The desperate
ones behind pushed and struggled for
their lives, driving the human wedges
the tighter in place.
NeighbOrs living across the street, who
were the first to reach the burning build
ing, said the lower halls were already
filled with flames when they arrived. The
doors and windows were packed with
terrified little ones, whose fright left
them helpless to escape.
Many children descended the fire es-
capes, but feared to jump on reaching
the bottom. They were pulled down to
make room for others.
Fearful scenes were enacted around
the burning schoohouse. Fathers and
mothers raved, cursed or prayed. Many
tried to break through the crowd and
some got as far as to dash toward the
flaming doorways. One big man in over
alls and jumper was restrained by force.

''kinder' were in the building. He strug

held him. Finally they threw him to
the ground and sat on him, forcing his
great form down in the ankle deep mud.

ONE DOOR LOCKED.

Walter G. Kelley, a newspaper man,
two of whose children were in the build
ing, was one of the FIRST upon the scene.
He stated that the rear door, one of
the two exits, was locked. The children
rushed for the front and rear doors. The
front exit soon was damned full of fight
ing and panic stricken humanity. Many
who reached the exit first escaped, but
those. the greater number, who followed
choked the doorway. Those who fell
were trampled upon and many are sup
posed to have been killed in this manner.
Those behind turned and made for the
windows. Some upon the second and
thir floors jumped from the windows
and escaped. In this way three or four
were killed while others were more for
tunate and escaped with slight injuries
The greater number of those who met
death were cut off from escape by the
smoke which blinded them.
Caught in this manner, they fell with
the lower floor, amid the blazing tim
bers, to the basement below. There the
little bodies could be seen writing in
their last death struggle.
Bodies were taken to the morgue at
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
Railway company's shops.

FACTORIES ARE CLOSED.

Factories in the immediate neighbor-
hood dismissed their men, who went to
work in an effort to rescue the little
ones.
A few minutes after the building was
known TO be on fire the school was sur
rounded by parents, fathers and mothers,
who were frantic in their dazed efforts
to rescue their children. Very few were
saved from among the children who
were behind the jam at the front door.
The others escaped with slight injuries.
SCENE IS AWFUL.
From the moment that the floor gave
vay and precipitated the children into
the burning ruins of the building, it was
seen that any attempt to save the pupils
would be useless. 10 go into the burn
ing structure would be suicidal, and all
the parents could do was to look on and
pray that their" children would be
saved.
The apparatus for fighting fire in the
village was of no practical use. Eff
forts were made at first to quench the
flames, but they were fruitless, and the
blaze continued with undated fury I'M
til the last bit of woodwork in the
school building had been consumed.

Theater fires have caused greater losses
of life, but to witness the destruction
of nearly a hundred young lives, of
children who had been playing happily
together only few hours before, was
terrible. Mothers lifted up prayers to
the Almighty to except their own off
spring, and factory men and others
worked with the fury Of demons to res
cue those which could be seen from the
ward adjoining the schoolhouse.

what, piles Of charred little bodies were
still visible in the dorways. In the rear
door bodies burned beyond recognition,
lay piled FIVE feet deep.
A man who reached the school build
ing shortly after the fire broke out, &C.
clared that the back door was locked.
He attempted to break down the door,
but failed to do so. He then smashed
in the windows with the aid of some
other men and rescued a number of chill
dren by dragging them out.
The flames shot up through the CEN
tral halls with terrible rapidity. 1t was
said the children were terrified beyond
all control and the teachers, although
they struggled braveIy to marshal their
like order. were utterly helpless.

The panic that had worked such fear
full results inside the building spread
TO the helpless crowd outside, but only
for a brief time. Organized efforts at
rescue were soon under way. Firemen
played streams upon the piles of bodies
in the doorways and tried to drag out
bodies with rakes and other implements.
Ambulances and automobiles were soon
available to take the injured to hospitals.

INTO FIERY FURNACE.

The fire from the basement, in addition
to filling the schoolrooms with smoke,
which caused the first alarm, leaped up
the stairway to the first, second and
third floors When the children rushed
from their rooms to the Railways they
rushed into a fiery furnace. 1t was IN
the Railways and at the main exit where
the greatest number met death. The
Railways were narrow and could not ac-
commodate the large number that at
tempted to rush through them to reach
the main door.

the scene early, and at the time the
children were crowded in the front door
discovered his little girl among the mass
of injured and crushed. He caught the
girl by the hand and, in his frantic eff

her body.
The four children of the janitor of the
building lost their lives in the fire.
