persons lost their lives and another had
a narrow escape from serious injury in

fed man who did not register last night.
His body was still in the ruins tonight
About twenty persons were in the house,
but the others escaped.
White had been working here for two
weeks, and expected to return to Roch-
ester tomorrow. His wife arrived last
night to spend Sunday with him. They
occupied a front room on the top floor

fused and were separated when an alarm
was sounded by 1. P. Cropt, proprietor
of the hotel, who discovered the flames.
Mrs. Whites body was found on the
ground floor, partly burned, but death
was due to suffocation. Whites body
was found hanging over the transom Of

CAR KILLS TWO IN AUTO
Father and Son Lose Lives at
Down Grade Crossing.

PittSburg, June 26.-Two persons were in
stantly killed, three dangerously injured
and two painfully hurt when a large auto
mobile was struck near CharIero this after
noon by one of the heavy suburban cars of
the Pittsburg Street Railways Company
The dead are William Fl. Hamilton, forty
three years old, an undertaken, of Roscoe,
and his son Roy, aged twenty-five Mrs
Hamltons wife, aged forty. his daughter
Matheny. a cousin. aged nineteen, are in
the hospital tonight with Injuries which
may prove fatal. Robert Hamilton, aged
twelve, deaf and dumb, and Mary. aged
seven, are also in the hospital, but are ex-
pected to recover.
The accident occurred at Beechwood
Park Crossing, about a mile south Of
Charieroi. The crossing is approached at
considerable down grade. and it is thought
that Hamilton misjudged the speed Of the
approaching trolley car. The family was
thrown as if from catapult, Hamilton
and his son. who were on the front seat,
landing their heads.
The little daughter Mary was caught
under the wreckage Of the automobile,
which took fire, and she was painfully
burned before the motorman and several
passengers from his car succeeded in res
cuing her. The motorman was slightly
burned None of the passengers in the
trolley car was hurt, although the car was
partly wrecked.
