he escaped without being instantly
killed Is a mystery. The fireman was
more fortunate than he for, although
he stuck to the engine, he escaped
without n scratch. The passengers in
the dera.led coaches were badly shak-

escaped without injury. One lady I'm

Young Heiress, Missing for
Days, Meets Death in
Lake CarasaIjo.
A PECULIAR DISCOVERY
MAN FALLING OUT OF A SkIFF
DIsTURes THE WATER, so THE
BODY WAS DIsLoDGED FROM
TANGLED WEEDS,
american News Service)

New York, March 1.-THE long and
far reaching search for Miss Helen
Bloodgood, the young heiress to the
fortune of William Bloodgood, of this
city, came to an unexpected end this
afternoon, when by a strange accident
she was found dead in the waters of
lake Carasaljo, no less than a mile
from the cottage where she had been
living in Lakewood. n. ].
The fourth day of the exciting pur-
suit of false clues was coming to a
close when William Pendel and John
Daughty, two boatmen employed by
Mr.. Bloodgood to search the lake,
heard cries for help coming from a
point on the water a few hundred feet
from Pines, one of the
fashionable Lakewood hotels. The
boatmen put out in skiff and about
thirty yards off Tine Point they res
cued Henry Cassel. a Carnegie hero,
who had been plunged into the lake by
the overturning of a row boat.
These boatmen had been dragging
the lake with graphing irons for two
days and believed they had covered
every foot of the bottom. but the dis
turb nee of the water at this particular
point caused by the capsizing of Cas-
sells boat, the body of the girl was
dislodged from a tangle of woods and
they spied it about three feet under
the surface.

theories, was the most likely place

wore when she leaped from the window
and fled in the dawn of last Wednes-

Aged Woman Found Yester-
day Afternoon in Her Room
by Her Daughter in Very
Serious Condition.
LINGERING between
LIFE AND DEATH NOW
In Some Manner She Pulled
Jet Loose From Piping and
the Deadly Fumes at Once
Frustrated Her.

Escaping fumes from an artificial
gas jet almost resulted in the asphyxi-
alton of Mrs. Anna Hoey. aged 81 years
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Rachel Toohey, 800 North Eighteenth
street, yesterday afternoon. The aged
woman was found lying PROSTATE on
the floor of her room In an unconscious
condition, by her daughter, and the
very perceptive odor of gas explained
fully the cause.
At about I o'clock Mrs. Hoey went
upstairs to her room for an article she
had left on the bureau. About ten
minutes later Mrs. Toohey, thinking
it rather strange that her mother
should remain upstairs so long when
she had stated that she would be right
down. scented gas fumes and imme-
diately began an investigation. Rush
ing up the steps and into her mothers
room, Mrs. Toohey found the woman
stretched full length on the floor en-
tirely unconscious. She was carried
out of the room at once and Dr. Kinsey
was hastily summoned. The physi-
clan, after several hours work, par
TALLY restored Mrs. Hoey's conscious
ness. but up to a late hour last night,
she was still in a comatose state and
grave doubts are entertained for her
recovery, because of her very advanc-
ed age.
Mrs Hoey has not recovered suffi-
ciently to explain how the affair hap
pened However. it is the supposition
of Mrs. Toohey that her mother at
tempted to fix the artificial gas jet
and. in some manner, pulled the pro-
lection from it's socket in the wall
causing the gas to escape full blast
from three-eights inch piping. The
whole house soon became filled with
the fumes and the other members OF
the family were threatened to be over.

Pretense That the Two Local
Roads Exchange Freight,
Assuring Competition, Is a
Serio-comedy.
RICHMOND SHIPPERS
ARE NOT Benefited
P. R. R. Interchanges Freight
Only to Points Served Ex-
ClusiveIy by RivaI-SWitch
Rate Too High.

Richmond shippers are of the opin-
ion that the system relative to the in
terchange in freight between the Penn
sylvania railroad and the c., C. & L. as
1t stands at present, is but little better
than no interchange whatsoever. In
fact, local shippers declare that under
the present conditions the whole affair
is farce and in view of the fact that
there is not the slightest competition
between the two railroads, not the
least benefit is derived from the So
called interchange in freight because
of the high rate charged and restric-
tion clause inserted by the Pennsylva-
mia company when it agreed to carry
on the interchange.
The clause inserted by the Pennsyl-
vania company was to the effect that
freight would be interchanged with the
c., c. & L. which was destined to or
received from points served by the c..
c. & l.. exclusively. This means
that the Pennsylvania refuses to accept
interchange with the c. c. & l.. un-
less the shipment is from some point
on the c., c. 4 l.. which is not touched
by the Pennsylvania.
Result Easily Seen.
The result of this restriction is seen
at a glance. Under these conditions
only shipments to and from the small
towns on the c. C. & L., where no very
large shipments are ever made or re-
ceived, are accorded the local inter
change privilege. The larger cities,
most of them being touched by both
roads. 1t is therefore, the height of
absurdity, it is said, to presume the
local shippers derive any benefit by
the interchange under this plan. In.
stead, they are subjected to much in.
convenience and considerable needless
expense in some instances.
Not only is the restriction clause det
rimental to the local merchants, but
the 50 rate charged by both railroads
for each car interchanged, is entirely
too high, it is alleged. The railroad
commission ruled against this order
of the Pennsylvania and also claimed
that the rate should be lowered at least
So. The company refused to abide by
the decision of the railroad commission
and the case has been rehearsed in the
Marion county superior court at In
dianapolis, at present awaiting the rul
ing on demurrer. 1t is probable thai
the case will be appealed to the SUI
preme court as the next step. In the
meantime. however, the old order still
remains and the interchange being eff
fected between the two roads is useles:
and of no practical value.

THE traction company ought to sod

may expect all kinds of trouble from

soon as possible, and when the weather
is favorable, the banks will be regrad
