$32, 2,O24.2I STOLEN FROM DEPOT.
While Agent Loaded Baggage, Three
Packages of Money Disappeared.

Oil City. Pa, May 19-Three pack
ages Of money containing $22,024.24
were stolen from the Pennsylvania
depot here at $40 o'clock this morn
ing white John J. TRULY, the station
agent, was loading baggage on a
Buffalo train. The money was being
shipped by the Adams Express Com
pany TO Philadelphia.
The railroad detectives Investigate
ing the robbery are Of the opinion
that the theft was the work of one
man. The packages were too bulky
for storage in the small station safe.
and Night Agent Truby placed them
under sack behind the ticket coun-
ter, covering them carefully.
AT $50 this morning train pulled
into the station, and Truby stepped
out on the platform, closing the
Office door behind him. The door is
self-lOcking. While about 200 feet
from the station office TRULY saw by
the light in the station platform lamp
that the office door was not closed.
Hurrying back he discovered that the
three packages Of money were miss
ing.

Charges Mortality to Greed.

Washington, May 2O.-"More men
have been killed in the shambles OF
pitiless greed than ever went to their
eternal count in all the carnage of
the Civil War" declared Mr.. Stan
ley, Of Kentucky, in the House to-
day.
Coal to the amount of 25O,0OO,-
900 tons is wasted annually in this
country, said Mr.. Stanley, and he
charged further that the United
States Is the only country which
makes no effort toward safety in
mining. The result has been, he
said, that this nation killed from two
to five hundred per cent more than
any other civilized country. He said
there were 100000 engaged in
mining. He announced that he
would vote for $4,000, in addi-
ton to the 100000 already appro-
priated, looking to the safety Of min
crS.

Tallapoosa, Ga. May Especial:
we are having very cool weather in
this section of Georgia at present
plenty OF rain and some hail. Crops
are late here on account Of so much
cool weather, although some have
very good gardens.
We live in the thriving little city
OF Tallapoosa, which IS about 63
miles from Atlanta. 1t has about
5000 population. several stores and
blacksmith shops. one cotton mill,
one glass factory and several other
industrial plants.
The sad news reached Tallapoosa
late yesterday afternoon Of the death
of Howell McCurdy, of Fruithurst,
Ala, which was shock to his many
friends at this place, as this was for
merly his home. Mr.. McCurdy came
to his death by the explosion of a
boiler at large saw mill and plan
Ing plant at which he was at work.
His many friends here feel a deep
sympathy for his loved ones.
There Is not much fruit in this
part OF Haralson county owing to the
snow and slcct some time back.

CATASTROPHE IN PINAR DEL RIO
Hundred Persons Dead as Result of
Dynamite Explosion.

Havana, Cuba, May 1S.-Two al
most simultaneous explosions Of dy
Mantle, supposed to consist Of 5000
pounds, completely destroyed the
rural guard barracks in the city of
Pinar Del Rio this afternoon. Fully
hundred persons were killed and
nearly as many were wounded.
Most Of the dead were rural
guards, but the entire families Of
several of the officers Of the rural
guard, it is reported, were also kill
ed, as well as several employees of
the public works department and
residents OF the city, on which fell
deluge OF masonry and debris from
the blown-up building.
1t IS not known whether the explo-
sion was the result OF an accident or
was due to ali act Of conspiracy, but
the former hypothesis is considered
the more probable. Several relief
trains, carrying surgeons, officers and
men Of the rural guard and govern
ment officials, started this afternoon
from Havana to the scene of the ca
tastrophe.
The barracks was a massive build
ing Of Spanish construction and oc-
cupied a site on the outskirts of the
city. During the late Intervention
st was the headquarters Of Col. Par
kers regiment, the nth cavalry Ad-
jacent to the barracks was long
row Of officers quarters. Recently
the barracks was occupied by the
public works department and four
troops Of rural cavalry
In consequence OF the alarm over
race disturbances, the government or
dercd all deposits Of dynamite in the
vicinity in the possession Of contrac-
tors for road construction and other
public works to be removed to the
barracks for safe Keeping This af-
ternoon the work Of removing the
dynamite from the barracks for
shipment to the government maga-
zine in Havana was begun by en-
ployees Of the public works depart-
ment, assisted by rural guards

Fewer Railroad Fatalities.

On 1896 miles Of railway in the
United States not single passenger
was killed in the six months term
ending June 80, 1909, according to
figures just published by the Bureau
Of Railway News and Statistics.
This is gratifying record and one
which should prove reassuring to the
travelling public.
1t means that railroad travel Is be-
coming safer, despite the Increased
speed being maintained and the lar
ger number Of trains being run over
the same track.
Through the operation of the safe
ty appliance laws put into effect by
Congress and State Legislatures, in
juries to trainmen are being steadily
decreased.
The bureau statistics show that
only twice in half century have the
railways Of Great Britain, including a
mileage Of $4,000, shown a record Of
no fatalities among passengers. The
average rate OF speed maintained IS
as high rs that in this country, the
public impression to the contrary not
withstanding.
Seventeen railroads Of the United
states are said to have completed a
siN-year term without passenger
killed. ninety-fllt companies a five
year term. TT companies four
year term, 22S companies three years,
2S7 companies two years, and PAT
companies, out of 36S reporting, one
year Of immunity.
With the increase in the double
trackagc of railroads and the rigid
enforcement Of safety appliances, etc
reducing the risk Of railway opera
tion, fatalities should show steady
decrease.
