received written orders. but declared he
had been given verbal orders by Train
Dispatcher Schumacher at Annapolis.
Schumacher was called and stated that
he had given Bernasco written orders.
He produced q duplicate Of the orders he
claimed to have given the conductor.
Bernasco finally admitted that he had
received written orders from Schumacher,
but had lost them. He identified the du-
plicate as similar to the orders given
| to him.
Bernasco, said he was informed that
the tracks to Best Gate were clear The
orders had originally carried the sem
tence. Look out for No. :33" fthe train

TAFT's NARROW ESCAPE.
Towerman's Promptness Saved Train
From Serious Wreck.

DENNISON, Ohio, June 22.-Secretary
Taft had a narrow escape last night from
being involved In serious wreck on the
Pennsylvania flyer which was carrying
him east. Prompt action of the tower
man In a signal station a third of a mile
east of Coshocton and of the engineer
Of the flyer alone averted what might
have been a bad accident. AS the train
was speeding along at the rate Of fifty
miles an hour the piston rod on the left
side of the locomotive broke short Off
Instantly. almost. the cylinder of the en-
CINE was cracked by the unmanageable
rod The train was just approaching a
signal tower east of Coshocton. The
operator saw that something serious was
wrong and threw down signal to stop
the train. The engineer applied the emer-
gency brakes and the train of six cars
came to stop on sharp curve.
The accident occurred at $3.50 o'clock.
as many of the passengers on the train
were at dinner in the dining car. Few Of
them realized how narrow their escape
had been from an awful accident. Sec
Kellogg entered the dining car and sat
down to dinner. even after the accident
occurred. without thought of anything
serious in connection with the stopping
and delay OF the train. The Secretary
made no comment on the incident when
Informed of 1t. The engineer of the
locomotive explained that 1t was merely
good luck that averted a bad accident
If the piston rod after it broke had
gone under the train" said he. I'VE would
have gone into the ditch. as we were
running fifty miles an hour, and the de-
railment would have been a serious mat
ter. Fortunately the broken rod landed
six or eight inches outside of the left
rail. That saved u.s.
Immediately after the towerman sent a
message to Dennison for another locomo-
tive, and after a delay of about an hour
the locomotive arrived and the flyer pro-
ceeded on its way east

Latter Declines to Discuss the
Liquor Question

Cincinnati, Sept. 1s.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation, without her Ratchet, dropped
in to town and went direct to the Pike
street address of Judge Taft. The
Judge himself admitted Mrs. Nation
into the spacious hall.
"You know me?" she demanded
without preliminaries.
The candidate admitted that from
the public prints he knew who Mrs.
Nation was
"Well, I have come here to have a
discussion with you on the liquor
question:" was her next remark.
"You will have to excuse me from
entering upon any discussion with
you," was Mr.. Taft's half smiling re-
ply.
Whereupon Mrs. Nation began one
of her characteristic speeches against
the drink evil, not overlooking a con-
demnation of all those who did not go
valiantly to the work of reform as she
believed it should be carried On.
Judge Taft was modestly backing
away and Mrs. Nation, seemingly
somewhat awed by what she was do
ing, also backed her way out of the
door and the interview was ended.
