Robbers Wrecked Fast Penn
sylvania Special.
OVER FORTY WERE INJURED
Royal Blue Train Between New York
and Chicago Thrown off Track
at Newcastle junction, Pa.

Newcastle Junction. Pa, Sept. A.
Two passengers were killed outright
and forty injured waen the Royal
Blue express was wrecked by robbers
near here early this morning Among
the injured were many women and
children.
The wrecked train is one of the
fastest trains running between New
York and Chicago on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. When the accident
happened it was travelling at a high
rate of speed which accounts for the
large number injured.
The wreck is thought to be the
work of robbers and probably has
some connection with the daring hold
up and robbery of one of the Pennsyl-
vania trains earlier in the week. The
officials of the road and express com
pany have done everything in their
power to get some clue to the rob-
berry, but all efforts proved futile.

MEN AND WOMEN ABOARD
Picked Up by the Nettie and Men in
Rowboats-Capt. Heineman Says
the Nettie Showed No Lights.

New York. Sept. with tnirty
passengers aboard her, many of them
women, the fifty-foot launch Mag
nolia, in charge of Capt. Frederick
Heineman, was approaching it's pier
at the foot of East Twenty-third
Street, Sheepshead Bay, at $3.50 o.
clock last night, having nearly com
pleted the run from Plum Island, be-
tween which and Sheepshead Bay it
plies regularly, when out of the dark
ness ON the port side loomed the
bulk If another boat. Cries arose
from the Magnolia's passengers when
they saw the boat so near; and the
Capt. Heineman, who had seen it at
the same instant tarew over his
wheel, hoping to avoid a collision.
Before passenger could grab a life
preserver, however, the sharp PROV
of the oncoming boat rammed the
Magnolia amidship, breaking the craft
in two. Men and women were hurl-
ed from their feet by the shock of the
collision. and before they could rise,
the decks of the Magnolia sank from
under them.
On the Sheepshead Bay shore the
cries of the men and women, sudden
ly thrown into the water, could be
heard clearly, and half a dozen row.
boats put out into the bay where a
moment since the lights of the Mag
nolia had been shining.
In the darkness the struggle to res
cue the men and women in the water
was not an easy one. AT last all of
the thirty passengers of the Magnolia
together with her Captain and his
crew of three men, were picked up by
one or the other of the rescuing boats
and brought into Sneepshead Bay
Capt. Heineman reported immedi-
ately that the Nettie had shown no
lights and that he had been unable,
therefore, to see her.

NO SITE CHOSEN
New York Commission is Not in Fav-
or of Isle La Motto.

Plattsburg, N. Y, Sept. 4.-The
New York Champlain tercentenary
commission met at Hotel Champlain
today but made no decision on the
memorial site.
The work done was largely of a
routine nature. The commission did,
however, inspect the proposed site at
Cliff Haven adjoining the hotel
grounds and tomorrow expect to hear
delegation from Ticonderoga pre-
senting advantages of that location.
At present it seems unlikely that Isle
La Motto will be chosen and it is
pretty certain that nearly half of the
commissioners favor Cliff Haven. al
though there is not a majority com
mitted to that location.
The recently published report that
the commissioners would have nearly
100000 left available for the memoir
ial was unofficial, but the commits
sioners stated that it was believed the
sum would be near that amount.

DEEPEN OTTER CREEK
Army Engineer Says II viii be Made
Waterway of Eight Feet.

Boston, Mass, Sept. aleu-. Col.
Edward Burr, army engineer for the
Boston district, which comprises
Lake Champlain, has returned to his
Office after an inspection trip to Bur
lington harbor, Plattsburgh harbor
and otter creek.
AS result of his trip he will send,
in few days, men from the Boston
Office to make survey of otter creek.
The surveymen will pick up boatmen
and others needed to make a party
of six. AS soon as Colonel Burr re-
ceives the report of this party he will
devise a scheme of making Otter
creek a waterway of eight feet, as
the original project called for. In
the past 10 years the creek has filled
in until at present it is only five feet
deep and of even lesser depth in a
number of places.
Colonel Burr states that Vergennes
has excellent water power facilities
but all of the power is not being used.
He hoped to be able to get a report
for the project of redredging the
creek before the chief engineers early
this fall.

it.
How does the North Pole look
