TRAIN WRECkERS
CAUSE Bis SMASH
No One Seriously Hurt, But En-.
CINE and Cars Are
Derailed.

WiLkESBARRE, PA. July 3o.-The
Quaker City express of the Central
Railroad OF New Jersey, running over
the Delaware and Hudson tracks, was
wrecked by train wreekeFs at Pittsten,
ten miles from here, at midnight. The
engine. In charge Of Engineer Casey,
of Scranton. and Fireman Peterson,
also of Scranton, turned over on its
side and both had a miraculous escape
from death. Three OF the four coaches
of the train were derailed and the for
ward car badly smashed. or the
twenty-five passengers aboard of the
train, all were badly shaken up, but
none seriously injured
The Vigilance OF the engineer alone
prevented what might have been a
serious disaster. He saw the danger
ahead and before his engine struck
the misplaced rail he applied the
brakes and greatly reduced the speed
of his train.
1t was shown that the spikes had
been drawn from dozen ties and the
fish plates removed. This caused the
flange of the wheels to strike the end
of the rail and the deraiiment followed.

South Richmond will send not less
than twenty players to the different
clubs. One club will be known as
the "Manchesters," and other will be
called the Wizards. They will repre-
sent, respectively. the city proper and
the suburbanites.

from Dry Bridge. The Chesterfield
ians are of the opinion that they have
the best aggregation OF bailoiogists to
be gathered under one tent. they hav-
ing defeated every nine from Bon Air
to Chesterfield Courthouse. But the
Wizards think differently. Therefore
the game will be of some interest to
the many rooters who will gather
around the wizards diamond when
the umpire tells the player to get
busy.

Senator Theodore Burton by George
B. Cox. the republican boss. of Gin
cinnati, which Is the topic OF come
Interested discussion here to-day.
Cox was discussing the State con-
vention and its results, according to a
local paper. and II was quite evident
that the cause OF his peevishness was
not merely the sting of defeat. II
seemed little deeper.
II enjoyed myself very much: met
a great many of my old friends and
think / made some new ones" said
Cox, but Of all the treacherous men
have met in my life Theodore Bur-
ton Is the worst"
From personal knowledge and ex-
perience l am warranted In saying
that he is devoid of principle and
places no values whatever upon the
truth. He may know the meaning Of
the word truth. but doubt It."
Cox refused to 60 further in ex-
PLANTATION of his anger, but II liz not

knowledge of his friends that he has

and thirteen people were convicted.
Four cripptes who had been run
out of Petersburg and Richmond tried
to seek aims from the good people OF
Southstde and as a result they were
brought into the station house by
policemen.
IF Petersburg won't stand for you
people, and there isn't room enough
on the north side OF the james for
you. this new territory Is certainly too
small. Go back to the pen and re-
main there until the wagon comes
and then you may seek shelter with
the city sergeant for three months"
Thus quoth MFR. Maurice.
Five people were fined 81 each for
ordinance violations and four. paid
