MOeBY, CONFEDERATE
 GUERILLA, DISMISSED
HELD POSITION IN THE DEPART
 MEkT OF JUSTICE.
No Beacon Given for Aenoval of CiSH Waw Veteran, In Absence Of
 WIokersham.

Washington. July 11.-Col. John s. Mosby the famous Confederate guer- illa of the civil war, has been removed from the position in the department of justice kiven him by Col. Roosevelt early In his first administration. In the absence of Attorney General Wick ersham no reason Is given at the de partment.
 Incapacity owing to old age, 1t Is said. was the chief cause. Col. Mosby is 73 years of age. He has been blind In one eye since he was young man. and lately has grown deaf. This is the most notable change in the de partment of justice since Wickersham became its head.
 The history of Gel. Mosby as fight ing man, his achievement with small band of guerilias during the war, have given him a place in history. When appointed a special attorney of the department he was assigned to break up the cattlemen's operations against government lands in the Middle West. His fearlessness in this work. in spite of numerous threats. won him the ap' probation of President Roosevelt.
 Mosby was a favorite of Gen. Grant, who kept him in good federal posi- tons and consulted him of9en as to in portaHt government matters.

GOLDEN HAIRED
 BABY, BEGGAR
 INYOLUNTARILl

Golden haired, with big blue eyes and rosy cheeks, baby of one year was used by Joseph Cronan, of 72 Elm street, to excite sympathy among prospective purchasers of the trinketS he was selling from house to house about the North End this morning. The baby was warmly clad and wrap ped in a heavy shawl, seemingly un- mindful of the damp chill air, but the 1nhumanity of the parent in placing the infant to use as a means of mak- ing his hard luck story more effective led to the arrest of Cronan.
 He did not know when he went to the home of Special Policeman Keen an in Beechmont avenue, north of St Vipcent's hospital, the authority ot the resident within. When he told his story to Keenan that the babes mother had died but a short time ago the policeman at once placed him un- der arrest and brought him to police headquarters.
 Only for the intercession of Su- perintendent Brennan of the Charities department, the man might still be in cell. But MT. Brennan said the man had come to him with a hard luck story and wanted work. He didn't ask assistance. He gave the applicant several letters to the local factories and he found the man went to each place but did not secure work This was several days ago.
 He made several misstatements of his marriages and children to the charities department, as was found on investigation, and for that reason feared to face the Superintendent of Poor when it was suggested that he be brought there with his child. Su- perintendent Birmingham heard the story of Superintendent Brennan, then freed the man, warning him to place the child in place where it could be properly cared for.
 Cronan has been married three times. He carries certificate of the death of his first wife, and displays the child in order to play upon the sympathies of his patrons. He has another child aged 3, which he leaves in the children's day nursery while his wife works about town cleaning.

DEATH MAY TOTAL 50 IN RAILROAD WRECK
 ON CANADIAN PACIFIC
Plunge of Train Into Icy Waters of Spanish River Ac companied By Most Horrible and Plying Sight Within Memory of Old Time Raroader.

of the train and toppled down the bank on the opposite side.
 A more terrifying death than those who were thus trapped in the waters of the river could scarcely be imagined and it was only matched by the late which befell those who were helplessly pinioned in the wreckage of the derailed cars which had es- caped the river but which had been attacked by flames almost immediate ly. Some of these victims were in Cinerated and will never be identified.
 The passengers in the cars which went into the river fought like mad men to escape. Some of these man aged to escape from the cars but were caught under ceiling of ice. Eight of those in the diner succeeded in escaping but so far as known not one of those in the second class coach (the half that went into the river) colonial and first class coach escaped. The dining car was not immediately submerged which fact enabled Con- ductor Reynolds and others of the train crew to pull eight of the i'm prisoned passengers from the win dows and through hole torn in the roofs.
 ''The most horrible and at the same time, the most pitiful sight in my career of railroading," was the brief summary of a railroad man who came in this morning from the scene of the wreck. For obvious reasons affecting his employment he refused to give his name. According to this emp1oye and others, the crew of a freight and fellow passengers of the killed and injured rendered heroic aid in the rescue work. Some suffered serious burns trying to extricate the passeng- CTS from the burning second class coaches, while others plunged into the Spanish river, making their way be- tween great cakes of ice, to reach men and women who succeeded in breaking out of their submerged pris- on.
 The freight crew says that only the roof of the day coach is visible above the surface of the river and that theopen water where the coach broke through is fast freezing over, making the work of the divers most perilous. Without any f1re-fghting apparatus the other passengers fought the fire consuming the two second class coaches with snow. According to the freight crew the day coach was the only one that went into the water, the diner going part way. The sleep CT turned over and lay on the brink of the river. Eighteen are said to have been killed in one of the sec ond class coaches alone. On account of the blizzard it is difficult to get in- to direct communication with the scene of the wreck, the wires being in bad shape.
