FOUR WERE KILLED Second Section of Chicago Flyer Ran Into First
 Section.
Especial from United Press)

Plttsourg, Jan. 23-Four persons were killed and many injured in a rear end collision at 2:3O at Summit Hill on the main line of the Pennsvlvania, rail road.
 The second section of train No 21. known as the Chicago Flyer, ran into the first section of sleepers well filled with passengers, which was wrecked. The identified dead are: M. J. Kelly. Pullman conductor. Jersey City; Char les Coleman, Pullman porter, Philadel- phia. Among the seriously injured are Mrs. Adam Anderson, Kentucky; D. Kiese1l. Pittsburg; M. H. Johnson, Cincinnati.
 All of the dead and injured were in the first section, consisting of six cars. The accident occurred in one of the worst spots on the mountain. A huge boulder had slipped down on the. rails and was found by a track walker. A freight train was flag ged. When the first section of the flyer came along it was held up in time to prevent trouble. Why the second section was not flagged is a question which some one will have to answer.
 Around the bend came the two huge engines drawing their heavy load of human freight. Too late the engineer saw the tail lights of the stalled train
  whistle, a creaking of brakes and then the crash.
 Following a moment of silence, screaming passengers in their night clothing poured out into the snow. Two cars immediately took fire but the flames were quickly extinguished with snow.
 .Pittsburg, Jan. 23.-Three persons are dead, 9 injured and 90 slightly hurt as the result of a rear-end collis- ion at Summit Hill, at 1915 a. m. to- day. The trains were Chicago and : St. Louis expresses which were run ming as 1he first and second sections of Train No. 21, west-bound from New York. The cause is not known posi- lively, but it is thought it was due to the engineer of the second section fail- ing, owing to heavy fog, to see signals set against him.
 A statement from the Pittsburg di- vision headquarters gives this cause for the wreck: "A freight had been delayed by rock falling from the hill side to the tracks The freight was stopped while the rock was being re- and a second freight was de- !ayed. Train No. 21 was stopped by the automatic signals. A flagman was sent out from the end section of No. 21 but whether the engineer fail- ed to heed the signal or did not see it has not been determined"

It is surely a rather awkward com pltcation when a lady and a gentle man both of high degree make a mis- take in a bath with little in the way of fine linen about save a few Turkish towels, a kimono and such like. Such a situation might we'll be called hu- morous. A situation akin to this is evolved in Laura Burt's famous "Or- der of. the Bath'' which will be pre- sented by the clever actress and a competent company at Poli's next week as the added feature. Miss Laura Burt is perhaps one of the most accomplished women on the Am of The Bath'' she has splendid ve- hicle for her talents. It will be safe for Polls patrons to anticipate some thing unusually fine in the Order of

 Miss Burt has the support of com petent cast, uses special scenic effects, staging, etc. All along the circuit the "Order of the Bath'' embracing the famous bathroom scene has been one great long success. The comedy playlet embraces as characters, Capt. Jack Lanticern, of the British Army, Oallas Anderson); Lizette a French maid, (Olive Walker) Mildred Chip perfeld, a society girl, Gaura Burt). The scene is laid in bath room in the country house of Lady Mintern, in Wales. "The Order of The Bath,'' is destined to create a sensation at Polls commencing with the initial matinee performance next Monday af- ternOn.

OPPOSE "DIP WALTZ"
Girls Must Stay at Home If It Is Per-
 mitted.


 willimantic, Jan. 23.-Ere mammas will allow their daughters to attend dances this winter they are first ascer- taining if the floor committees sanc- tion that new fad. the "dip waltz" If so then the young woman finds that she must spend the evening at home.
 The "dip waltz" invaded the local dance halls last fall and has been the craze among the young people of the Saturday night affairs and the twi- light hops. Taken in it's mild form the "dip waltz is a graceful dance, but the dancing masters have refused to teach it on the ground that it is always carried beyond their control. It also interferes with other dancers doing the usual formal waltz.
 There was a. storm of protest at the Hibernian fair this week because the dip waltz" was introduced there. The committee in charge was obliged on Wednesday night to announce that the ''dip'' would have to be discontinued. They declared it was suggestive to a degree verging on indecency.

FLoRIDA'S BAD MANNERS


Florida accepts Mr.. Taft's olive
branch with eagerness and perhaps
with misunderstanding. The presi-
dent wants peace between the sec
tiOns. He wants to develop the re-
publican party in the south. When he
runs again in 1912 he wants to carry
a few southern states. With these
aims in view he has expressed opin-
ions on the subject of restricting the
suffrage, which have produced an inn
preston that he is in favor of sup
pressing the negro vote. He has
agreed not to appoint colored men to
office against the wishes of the
whites.
In most places this attitude has
been accepted merely as a manifesta-
ton Of good will, but Florida's warm,
sub-tropical blood has become fever
ish. and it is conducting itself in a
fashion that is likely to cause trou-
bic. One branch of the legislature
has passed, and another now has I'M
der consideration an amendment to
the state constitution declaring that
as the fourteenth and fifteenth, amend
ments to the national constitution
were illegally adopted they are null
and void, and that on and after a date
not yet fixed only white persons shall
have the right to vote in that COM
mOnwealth.
This proposition will shock MANY
people, but it will cause greater con-
sternation at the White House than
else. Of all things that
the amiable and leisurely Mr.. Taft
would avoid at the opening of the
golf season we may be sure that for.

RECEPTION OF RATTLESHIP MIS-

"A He'll of Place; But Well Do Our

Coats

A late special from Baton Rouge,
La, says: Chagrinned at the &C
counts of elaborate banquets and balls
given the officers aud men of the bat
tleship Mississippi at New Orleans,
Baton Rouge, and other points, the
chairman of the reception committee
at the little village of Bayou Sara,
where the Mississippi will stop Tues
day, wired to Capt. Fremont as fol
lows:
This is hell of a place to receive
anybody, but we'll do our best"
'I'll wager that the man who sent
that telegram is a bully good fellow,
said Capt. Fremont, land the pleas
ure of meeting him will prove more
than sufficient compensation for drop.
ping anchor at Bayou Sara"
That Bayou Sara intends to be hos
pftable was shown by an exchange of
kilograms between a newspaper rep
resentative on the battleship and
some of the reception officials. Eth
er as joke or through ignorance of
conditions along the river, the CORES
pendent wired:
will it be necessary for civilians
on the battleship to wear high silk
hats and frock coats during the day
reception at Bayou Sara?"
And straightway came back the an
swer:
Not necessary to wear anything at
all. Come ahead"

THE MERCHANTS INTERESTED
Will Bring New Trade to oea'a ano
Give Hadsome Prizes


ARRANGEMENTS are now under way
for another contest which promises
to eclipse all former attempts In
Ocala, as it will take in all sections
of the county, and the out of town
candidates will have a chance to WIN
one of the handsome prizes that VIII
be given away by the merchants OF
Ocala.
The scheme of the business houses
who enter the combine is to induce
new trade to Ocala, bring visitors here
during the summer and have them
spend their money with the parties
that are in the contest.
1t is proposed to divide the county
into three sections, making Ocala the
central section. The northern sec
ton will be from this city north, and
will be divided along the line OF the
A. C. L. to DunnellOn and along the
Seaboard to Silver Springs and the
OkIawaha river; all territory south OF
this, excepting Ocala, to remain as
the southern section.
A sufficient number of business
firms have agreed to enter the con-
test to insure the manager, NJ. w. L.
Denham in offering a handsome lear
at diamond ring for the central sec
ton. while the northern and southern
parts of the county will share in a
high grade piano each, making three
grand prizes in all.
1t will readily be seen that this will
be a very interesting contest, for it
will induce a large amount of outside
business being brought to this city,
and the firms that are successful in
getting in this scheme will find that
it will prove a very valuable adver-
Using proposition.
Among those that have already sig
nifed their intentions of joining in
the contest are: Teapot Grocery, Hell
venstOn & Pasteur. Ocala News Com
pany, Guarantee Clothing Company,
A. E. Burnett, Knight & Lang, Ocala
Furniture Company, Miss Affieck, W.
p Edwards, The Ocala Banner, and
R. E. Yonge & Son. Besides this list
of progressive business firms there
are others that will probably join to-
day, but only one line of each business
is allowed to enter.
Look for further announcement to-
morrow.
