train for over year and half, was
35 years of age and one of the finest
type of men in the business. How he
came to misjudge his speed in taking
this switch cannot be determined. The
signal man was on the sround to give
him a message but he went by so fast
he could not hand it,

Engineer and Fireman Killed -
No Passengers Hurt.
Went by Signal Tower at Rate Pre-
venting Delivering Message.

Utica. N. V, Jan. 25.-The engine on
the New York Central Twentieth Cen
tury Limited, eastbound, turned COM
pletely over about quarter or a mile
west of st. townsville. this morning at
$40. 1t slid 800 feet before it stopped
and is torn and wrecked beyond re-
pair. Under the engine pits, Fireman
Melvin j. Handviile, of Syracuse, was
crushed beyond recognition. The en-
sineer, John Scanlon of Fort Hunter
attempted to leap when the engine
left the rails but he was caught in
between the engine tender and cut and
crushed in a terrible manner. None Of
the coaches left the track, though the
trucks of several of them are derailed.
They are all right side up however,
and it is declared by the railroad peo-
pie that the passengers are unhurt
1t is known that most of them were
thrown from their berths and it is
Cured. William Hyde, a mail clerk,
who was working in the combination
baggage and mail oar, was thrown up
on his knee AMI mad badly bruised
knee. Hyde's nome is in townsville
There is signal tower about quar-
ter Of mile west of the st. Johns
vile station. The switches and cross
overs are controlled by the operator
IN this tower. For some reason not yet
explained, it was necessary for the OPP
orator to shift the train from Track
No. l to Track Nc. aud he had
thrown the switch for the cross-Over
and set the signals
The supposition is that the signal
cautioning Engineer Scanlon to slow
down was not seen by him in time to
bring his train under full control, and
when the locomotive struck the cross
over the ponderous machine bounded
into the air. turned upon it's side, and
as it struck one of the rails, rolled up
on it's back and plowed ahead through
the rails, ties and ballast at least 800
feet. The sudden twist wrenched loose
the coupling between the engine and
baggage and mail car. and this saved
the train from the ditch. The passen-
gers were nearly all asleep and some
of them were scarcely disturbed. Those
in the front ends OF the sleepers were
shaken from their berths and several
were thrown out upon the floor 1t is
stated that none of the passengers suf-
fered, the slightest injury. Not a. glass
WAS broken in any of the coaches.
n 10 blame appears TO be attached to
the tower man. Joseph Battle, for the

The Debating Society yesterday at
ternoon discussed the question which
was used for the preliminary debate
and amendments proposed in order to
satisfy the sides in the final prize de-
bate which is 20 be held some time the
last of February; the exact date will
be announced Friday. After lively
discussion of the possibilities and ad-
vantagcs that each side had at present
it was decided to retain the question
as it was previously stated: Re-
solved, That the United States Should
Adopt a System of Shipping Subsidies
with the condition that Pres. Roberts
should define just what is meant py
shipping subsidies" That term IN the
preliminary debate seemed too broad
and gave the question too much scope,
so much that some of the debaters
were confused Both sides agreed that
if that term was defined there would
be no advantages for either side.
