ERIE TRAIN RACING n DOG
NIPS OFF ANIMALS NAME

NEW YORK.-Special.- he ster
Taylor, son of the station agent of the
Erie Railroad at Cedar Grove, N. J..
has a fox terrier called Spot. The
name came from a lone spot at the
end of the dogs tail. Taylor made a
little house for Spot, with a knot hole
in its front door, commanding a pleas
ant prospect of the Erie tracks. And
Spot, gazing through the knot hole at
the Erie engines, observed:
Pooh! I can go faster than that"
When old enough to roam about a
bit Spot went down to the track and
took short practice runs in prepara-
ton for a trial of speed against the
Erie. Yesterday the dog decided that
the time had come. Starting close to
an express, Spot dashed along beside
1T. For some yards it was a close race.
Then Spot, in excitement, got so close
that the wheel Of q car shipped off
the end of the dogs tail, Including
the spot.
Besides curing the terrier of his
anti-Erie ambitions, the accident Is
q using much agitation in Cedar
Grove. Some villagers maintain that
~ pt no longer deserves the name, see
Il that the train removed the spot.
'lers maintain that once a dog Is
led It is always named. And there

MISSING WOMAN'S HUSBAND
TELLS CURIOUS STORIES

VINELAND.- Special.-"My wife is
Sate in the Blackwood Asylum" said
James Thomas, the husband of the
aged woman who disappeared last
Monday, when a posse headed bv
three constables searched his house
Sunday.
A telegram from Blackwood said
Mrs. Thomas was not there When
confronted with the telegram Thomas
said neighbor, Mrs. Sturgis, had told
him she was there, but Mrs. Sturgis
denied it.
Under close questioning Thomas
SAID his wife was missing when he
came home Monday night. He thought
she had gone with her two dogs TO a
neighbor's where she had never gone
before. Monday night one Of her dogs
came home and on Tuesday the other
minus a collar. Wednesday he began
TO look for her. He says an Italian
named Joe told him the missing wo-
man went by in a wagon, but the
Italian denies it. The officers are ali
at sea, but believe they can trace the
different stories to neighborhood Cos
sip.
Torrents of rain have prevented
search OF a swamp near Thomas
home.

SKEETER AND a HORSE
MAKE HIS DILEMMA

NEW YORK Special.-A MOSQUITO
which apparently was a cross of the
famous or notorious families of Jer-
sey wellborers and Staten Island rock
drillers, saw George Gordon's nose
Sunday afternoon, buzzed a little song
about "Oh, for a pasture newt" and
swept down upon the nose. The nose
and George were at that moment be-
hind horse that George was driv-
ing along upper Broad Street, Brook
dale. n. j.
Now, George had had all he could
do to manage that skittsh steed be-
fore the advent of the insect. When
he felt the first jab of the skeeters
surgical scissors, George started to
knock the squatter on his nasal ter
ritory. But he restrained his hand,
for in that instant he remembered
that he needed both hands to handle
the fractions horse.
And there was George in a dilemma
equal to that ancient one that con-
cerned devil and a deep sea. II he
didn't knock that mosquito off his
nose he'd lose his life blood, but If
ne took hand from the reins to de-
liver that knockout swing aWay
would go his bad-tempered horse!
Gordon shook his head violently and
blew his breath toward the MOSQUITO
to dislodge it, but all to no purpose.
The insect held on and Just bored
and bored and bored. Gordon grit
TED his teeth and remembered the
story he had read in school about
the Spartan. But what was a mere
fox gnawing at a boys vitals to
real, war-size Jersey mosquito sinking
an artesian well In mans nose!
George could stand It no longer. !

WITNESS STAND IN TRIAL
OF BROWNE.

CHICAGO, ILL-Special.-The trial
of Lee O'Neill Browne continued Tues
day. The defense sprung a surprise
when the session opened by withdraw
ing all objections which were to have
been argued before the court today
White and Browne met i'm the cor
ridor outside the court for a moment
before the session began. Browne was
with his attorneys and White was
trailing along behind a corps of as
sistant States attorneys.
White looked at Browne and made
some remark inaudible to all but
Browne. The latter made some reply.
and, turning to his lawyers, said
something which caused them to
laugh.
Whites face flushed and he entered
the court. The self-confessed bribe~
taker, whose confession has brought
about one of the most intense and de-
termined political wars in the history
OF the State, was called to the stand

that the victims were burned TO

After night of constant work.
IN which the reScuerS were aided
by powerful searchlights PLAYING
ON the ruins, the roll of missing
this morning was twenty-nine.
The latest figures indicate that
the death list will i'm all proba-
biity be thirty-five, and possibly
forty.
The fire department authorities
today declared that il will prob
ably DC days before the last body
Is taken out.
The fire is still blazing in some in
accessible corners under piled up
debris, it is believed.
me task of reScuing the dead is ex-
tremely hazardous, the workers being
I'm constant danger from the tottering
walls that escaped destruction in the
fire which followed the fan of the
twenty-fve-ton water-tank on the
roof.
Few of the bodies taken from the
RUNS can be identified. Early today
a crowd of hundreds gathered at the
morgue, and a steady stream of en-
by, but identifications of the mangled
and burned bodies were few. MANY
or the victims were today released
from the hospitals, but fully a score
are still in the care of physicians, and
II was declared this morning that
some had scant hope of recovery.
Many remarkable stories of escapes
came to light today, after the first
shock of the disaster had passed away.
IN one instance printer walked
from one end of the composing room
TO the other a second before the
smash. n man who took the place
where the first had been standing was
swept to death through the great rent
torn in the floors of the building
Today's investigation showed that
some of the victims were drowned in
the basement in the flood of water
from the collapsed tank-pinned in
the lake under burning debris.
The work of getting at the ruins
was seriously hampered by the fact
that the lane in the rear of the build
ing was choked to a depth of six feet
with wreckage.
