ENGINE ON HONESDALE TRAIN
ON ERIE ROAD BREAKS DOWN
IN YARD AT PORT JERVIS-AC-
CIDENT NARROWLY AVERTED
TRAIN DELAYED ONLY 40
MINUTES,

The Erie train which leaves Homes
dale at S.25 a. m. and is called the
Honesdale and New York Express,
met with an accident at Port Jervis
Tuesday morning which came near
being a serious wreck. While run
ming through the Port Jervis yard
opposite yard 3D." engine 1863, in
charge of engineer Michael Fritz and
Fireman Wickham Bross, was haul
ing the train when the main pin on
the left front driver broke dropping
the connecting rods and side rods to
the track The back end of the
cylinder was blown out and the rods
trailing over the track for a distance
of about 800 feet tore up the ties
and caused the wheels of the for
ward truck on the tender to jump
the track.
Engineer Fritz, as soon as he dis
covered there was something wrong,
applied the airbrakes and brought
the train to stop. Help was sum-
moned at once by telephone to the
round house and within a few min
utes the wrecking crew, in charge of
Foreman Edward Rutan, was on the
ground. The crippled engine was
soon placed on the track and brought
down to the shops for repairs
In the meantime switch engine
2504, which was sent to the aid of
the delayed train, had hauled it
back to WX tower and pushed it
down the westbound track to the de-
pot, causing a delay of only 40 min
utes on the schedule.
Besides the damages above named
both journal boxes on the forward
truck of the tender were broken.
Fortunately the accident occurred
in the yards near the Delaware divi-
sion terminals with plenty of help
from the motive power and mechani-
cal departments, and in case it had
taken place on some of the sharp
curves along the river valley the re-
suits might have been of a far diff
ferent and more serious nature.
Engine 926 took the Honesdale
train out for the noon trip.

who was not about. When the
husband returned the wife told
him about the candidate and said
he was running for constable.
On being told who he was she
said she surely was not mistaken
as he looked about like a man
who would be in a race for the

of for Congress. However we

SENATOR EIKINs, CONDITION.

II is learned from reliable sources
that Senator Elkins. who has been i'll
since the adjournment Of the last ses-
sion OF Congress, is in precarious
condition.
It is denied that there is any imme-
date danger, but his condition is re-
garded as very grave and as not war
ranting any hopes Of his recovery.
Since last Wednesday he has been
slowly losing ground, and bis family
and physicians have been apprehensiye.
A shert time ago it was decided by
the family that il an examination dis
closed the presence OF pus in either
liver or kidneys, and II an operation
would remove the cause OF his illness,
an operation was best for him, but
through the use OF the hollow needle it
was found that there was no pus and
the idea OF an operation was abandoned
for few days.
Senator Elkins seemed to be improy-
ing, but last Wednesday his condition
took turn for the worse, since which
time there have been no favorable
symptoms.
