BOY STRUCK BY
FREIGHT TRAIN
Dragged Across Overhead
Bridge And Perhaps Fa-
tally Injured

James Allen, aged about Il years, OF
No 1GO7 Howland street. IS IN a serious
condition at the Delaware Hospital as
result OF being struck by a freight train
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at the
elevated bridge at Pennsylvania avenue,
shortly before o o'clock this morning.
Part OF the lads left foot was cut Off
and the leg fractured. The back OF his
head was also crushed.
From what could be learned the boy,
with some other lads Of his age. was
playing on the railroad. Allen sat down
on the south bound track and was struck
by freight train No. $50 bound for Bal
timorc. Another train was coming in the
opposite direction which drowned the
noise made by the south bound train.
Tie boy was dragged across tho bridge
n distance Of seventy feet where he was
dropped TO one side.
The train was stopped and John ].
o'Neal, Of Baltimore, the conductor Of
the freight, carried the wounded boy in
his arms to Fourteenth street where the
Phoenix ambulance met them and con-
veyed the lad TO the hospital.
Railroad officials say they are troubled
considerably by boys who insist on play
ing on the elevated tracks and It is a
wonder to them that not moro Of them are
injured.

children, IL arranged TO sent rooms in
Bantams Hall. beyond the bridge, and
TO this arrangement the colored resi-
dents Of that section objected. The mem
bers OF the Board OF Education after
looking into the matter satisfied them
selves that the objections made were
just, and they then began TO look around
for more suitable quarters.
a proposition Just made which IS look
ed upon with favor by both the members
OF the board and the colored residents
of that section OF tho city. Is now being

Roth Wera Wlnnera.

A former United States senator was
sitting IN the Grand Pacific hotel in
Chicago one evening when he was ap-
preached by an old time friend. who
was engaged in 2 losing battle with
John Barleycorn. The man took a
chair alongside the senator.
II have a tip on which can make
81 on the open board OF trade tomor-
row If l can get $40 to put up" he
said. Il thought you would let me
have the ten"
The senator canvassed the situation
quickly In bis mind. Then he reached
into his pocket and pulled out some
money.
There you are" he said to his
friend. handing him 81.
The man took the currency and then
hesitated.
'This is only 81. SENATOR" he explain
ed. Il need ten."

bankment, but left the rails and turn
ed partly on their sides. Few passen-
gers were injured in the two cars and
these but slightly.
Immediately after the engine struck
the open rail a scene Of widest disor-
der ensued. The day coach was mostly
occupied by women and their shrieks
added to the disorder.
Axes were use dand the passengers
taken fro mthe cars, but it seemed
that the horror OF the wreck would
be added to by fire as the baggage car
began TO blaze from the embers thrown
back by the engine.
The members of the train crew and
the passengers who has escaped injury
formed a bucket brigade and the fire
was extinguished before serious dam
age was done.
A distress call to New Castle brought
doctors, nurses and medical supplies
to the scene on a relief train and the
injured were rushed to the Shenango
Valley Hospital.
Fireman's Miraculous Escape.
Tho body of Engineer Dill was found
buried under the engine. His fireman
had miraculous escape. He was
shoveling coal when the engine plunged
over the embankment and he jumped
just in time to escape being crushed.
That the wreckers would have OBJ
tanned large sum of money If their
plans to completely wipe out the train
crew and passengers list Of the train
had been successful was admitted today
by the officials. The train which is
known as the Royal Blue Flyer car
ries a heavy mile besides a large
amount of money of the Adams Ex-
press Company. The big safe contain
ing the money was in charge Of armed
guards last night and when it was
discovered that wreckers were respon-
sible for the disaster the guards about
the safe was doubled and every man
armed and given orders to shoot to
kill.
