A Cincinnati traveller says: about

ENGINEER KILLED IN WRECK
Illinois Central Passenger Train Is
Ditched Near GaIena, III.

Galena, H. - One person was
killed, three others were proba-
bly, fatally injured and a dozen or
more were less seriously hurt when
passenger train No. 5 on the Illinois
Central railroad jumped the track
eight miles east of here and went into
the ditch.
The accident occurred on sharp
curve and all cars except one left the
track and fell over on their sides.
Every car but the last. which was a
diner, left the track. The train turned
over, throwing many passengers
across the cars. A wild panic ensued.
Screams and means were heard
above the loud hiss of the steam es-
Gaping from the engine and passen-
gers in terror fought their way across
the berth and seat sides to doors and
windows.
Several passengers in the diner mar
rowly escaped serious injury when
china and glassware was scattered
over the car. Flying glass in other
cars added to the scenes of terror.
An investigation into the cause of
the wreck at which passengers and
members of the crew were to testify
was ordered Immediately.

Opportunity Of sufraaIst.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
of the magazines how the women Of
Finland came to vote. The fact is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when
crisis, such as that in 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

THOSE SUMMER RoMANCEs
Sad Awakening of Man Who Asked
"the Girl of His Dreams" for
Her Hand.

The dark wood had become rosy
and sweet. A new dawn had entered
into Harkaway's vision, and 1t was all
gloriously golden, says Harper's
Weekly. Mabel, as they paced the
sands on that wonderful moonlight
night, had yielded to his passionate
entreaties, in which he had voiced all
the aspirations OF his ardent nature
and had spoken soft yes to his ques-
ton.
Yes, Harold" she had murmured,
with shy glance at the moon-"yes,
dear, will be your wife"
For a long while Harkaway was 81
lent. He feared to break the spell OF
the moment with ordinary human
speech. So far and away beyond his
real expectations had her answer been
that it was difficult for him for the
time being to realize that It was not
all a dream, and who could tell but
that the sound of his own voice would
awaken him to a lonely reality? Thus
they walked on for brief period, ana
then summoning his courage to his
aid he ventured:
Say it again, Mabel-let the en-
chanting assent come once more to
my devoted ears that I may know II
is true!"
Yes, Harold" she repeated-"yes'
dear, will be your wife"
He folded her in his arms, and
kindly cloud obscured the moon for
second, as though to hide her bushes.
Tomorrow 1 shall go to New York"
he cried, his heart elate. What Is
your fathers address, sweetheart"
Father" she repeated. "Oh-fa-
ther's address-why, it is steen-hun-
dred and two Wall street. What do
you want daddy's address for, dear?
Il am going to ask him to smile
upon our" he began.
ooh, no, Harold" she demonstrated.
II wouldn't do that. Dads very busy,
and we never bother him with little
things"
Little things?" he cried.
Eyes, dear. They annoy him very
much, indeed" she replied. Il don't
think Pm engaged to a single man
now who's been to see popper-lt
makes him so mad when the fall
comes and I break it off"

MINERS
BELIEVED DEAD
AFTER EXPLOSION
Six Bodies Recovered and
Twelve Are Missing in Depths
of an Ohio Coal Mine.

STEUBENVILLE, O., April a.
Eighteen of a night force of twenty
five machine men employed in the mine
of the Youghiogheny and Ohio Coal
Company, near Amsterdam, are
thought to be dead as a result of an
explosion in the mine late last night.
So far six bodies have been recov-
cred. Seven were taken from the shaft
alive. but in an unconscious condition.
Twelve men are missing. They still
are in the min and there is a gen.
eral belief that they ave persisted.
Rescue parties began work a few min
utes after the explosion.
About 200 men are employed in the
mine during the day time. They quit
work between 8 and a o'clock each eve
ming. The machine men work nights,
preparing the work for the day shift.
1t is thought that the explosion was
caused by coal gas being ignited by the
light on the helmets of the miners.
