supposed. Another presumption is that
they tainted with fright and that in
the panicky rush they were overlook
ed The oil from the tank car into
which the passenger engine had crash
ed fed the furious flames, and practi-
eally every atom of the coaches were
consumed in the fiery furnace. It is
supposed that Goals from the firebox
of the wrecked engine started the oil
to burn, while flames from the stoves
in the dining car did the mischief in
the rear.
OF the dead there we're three in the
Easton hospital: Eleanor Rutherford,
a teacher, of Utica; Charles NJ. Per-
son, the train conductor, of Strouds-
burg, and NJ. W. Vanoy, the engineer,
of Trenton.
There seems to be no reason to
doubt that others died in the fire.
From the mass of ashes and twisted
iron the wrecking crew removed frag-
ments of four bodies.
Professor A. G. Burton, president OF
the Utica Teachers association, said
that he had sent word home that these
six teachers. all of Utica, perished in
the flames: Sophie Knoult, Mary Al
len. Safeh Jones. Susan Sessions, Bes-
sic Walker and Louise Lindsman.
Stewart F. Day, secretary to Mayor
Frederick Gilmore, of Utica, sent word
to the mayor that after a talk with the
Pennsylvania railroad officials he was
convinced that no further hope could
be held out to the relatives and friends
of the six
Besides the six teachers, four EN-
ployes of the Pennsylvania railroad
are dead: Person. the conductor;
Vanoy. the engineer; Harry Wilmer, I
the baggageman, and Joseph Bicknell, (
the tourist agent, whose home was in
Philadelphia.
All Of the survivors save the in
jured in the hospitals have been sent /
home by the Pennsylvania railroad .
Many Of those who went back to
Utica carried injuries, some of them
serious, but they were able to travel. /
The investigation made by Professors
Burton and Vincent Brown and Miss
Marian Haskins. one of the heroines
OF the wreck, determined definitely
that at least fifty OF the teachers were
burned or cut or bruised. On board
the special train there were thirty wo-
men whose hands or faces were band
aged. Some were unable to sit up on
account of sprailed backs or dislocat-

ing to $40, which he had laid on a
table, while he took a wash at the
pump before going to town to pay
several bills.
When he looked for the money it
was missing He was positive that no
one had entered the house. Besides
himself, Tige, a pet fox terrier, was
the only living creature in the room.
While feeding his chickens, Riley
saw Tige quite a distance away, busily
scratching. Curiously he went to in.
vestigate and found that the dog was
trying to bury a baby's rattle.
Riley's curiosity was aroused and
he had an inkling that Tiges cache
might contain other articles. He dug
into the hole and brought out such
things as spools, rattles, blocks, bones,
etc. Lastly he saw his roll of bills. So
overjoyed was Riley that Tige was not
even chastised.

Eleven lives were lost in the derail-

ers' special near Martins creek, eight
miles north of Easton, Pa, on the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad The train, car
rying 16S school teachers, was en- route
to Washington. The railroad men them
selves say that the most remarkable
feature OF the wreck was that 100
weren't killed in the terrific shock
and the sudden sweep of fire.
The train had run by way of Scran-
ton over the Lackawanna railroad and
was taken in charge by the Pennsyl-
vania crew at Stroudsburg. There
were three coaches. The corps OF
teachers were having a merry time
and looking forward to great times
during their stay in Washington, a
feature OF which was to have been
reception by Vice President and Mrs.
Sherman. There was a sudden grind
and jar. The merry party was thrown
together in heaps and violently jerked
into all sorts of positions, many Of
them buried under baggage. The en-
gine had lett the tracks, turned over
on its side and the coaches were de-
rallied.
While the panic-stricken teachers
were making frantic efforts to get out
of the cars the flames broke out,
seeming to envelop the whole train
at once and sweeping with frightful
roar upon the struggling women, none
of whom had been able to snatch any
wraps or hand baggage.

flames that the six unfortnnates who !

Rloomer Won1an Is Dead


Miss Susan p Fowler, the bloomel
woman, diedat her home in Vineland
N. j. She was eighty-seven years old
and she donned the bloOmer costume
sixty-nine years ago, when it bid fair
to become popular under the advocacy
of such women as Susan b. Anthony
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others In
the Oneida community of New York,
although she never accepted any OF
the doctrines Of that community.
Marriage and motherhood as known
today she contended are a farce, and
all because the young men art not
taught the basic laws of life For over
forty years she conducted a farm on
the outskirts of Vineland and never
would have a man around.
Miss Fowler was highly educated
and was the author Of several books.

Lonely Oatman Bachelors
Wants HelpmeetS

To accelerate the god Cupid the
Bachelors Club of Oatman are using
publicity of the police department of
Santa Monica and the newspapers in
the effort to attract the proper num-
Der of widows and even spinsters to
supply the demand of that organiza-
tion for wives. And after the 5th of
this month if the people of Kingman
find every vehicle going in the diree-
tion of Oatman and filled to overflow
ing with the unmarried female popula-
tion of Santa Monica they may know
that the Bachelors of Oatman are get
ting their reward. The news of the
probable influx of widows comes in the
following telegram from Santa Monica
to Los Angeles newspaper:
Santa Monica, Cal, Nov. lS.-Con-
shutting what is said to be the largest
matrimonial offer IN history, the mem
beers of the Oatman Bachelors Associ-
alton of OaJman. Ariz., have proposed
to $50 widows of Santa Monica.
The offer is official, having come in
the form of letter to Chief of Police
Barretto and having been signed 10y
sixteen directors of the Bachelors or
ganization. As the widows hold the
balance of power in the city election
of December ), however, all steps TO
reply to the gigantic proposal, either
jointly or severally, will be postponed
until after that date, as the widows
are needed TO vote here then.
The letter gives a long list of the
bachelors names and descriptions,
such as ANDY Porter, 80 years old,
six feet one inch tall, and 220 pounds
heavy" The letter concludes:
These names are only a small mar
gin compared with the great number
of bachelors employed at the Tom
Reed mining camp. We would sug-
gest that you try to find us life part
ners."

M'Namaras Confess.

After two months time in the en-
panelling of a jury to try the
M7Namaras for the crime of blowing
up the Los Angeles Times office, J..
B. M'Namara yesterday morning
sent for the district attorney and made
confession of the crime, after which
he went into court and confessed that
he had blown up the Times building,
in which nineteen men lost their lives.
J. J. M'Namara then stood up in court
and plead guilty TO the crime of blow
ing up the Llewelen Iron works.
The confession of these two men
that they were guilty of the most
hein0us crimes in the history of the
civilized world took the breath of the
Los Angeles public and il will be days
before the people grasp the full i'm
port. J. B. MNamara, the head of
the Structural Workers of the United
States, in a statement gave out the
reason why he had confessed TO the
crime. His brother was being tried
and he feared that be would be found
guilty and hanged, and as he alone
was guilty of the Times disaster he
was willing to pay the penalty for that
crime that the brotber's life might be
saved. The sentence will be passed
next Tuesday, although it is possible
l. = l. :
as under the law il is legal holiday
The character of the crime is one
that should bring on these men the
severest penalty that can be meted out,
but is probable that they will only get
imprisonment for life, as no case has
yet been cited where a judge has
taken upon himself the inhiction #
the highest penalty on plea of guilty.

Burned to Death.

Last Monday evening a Wallapai
squaw known as Nora met q horrible
death by fire at her camp west OF
town. Il appears that the woman had
gone home and was engaged in get
ting supper for herself and small son
and while working over the stove her
dress caught fire and in a moment she
was a mass of flame. She frantically
tore at the clothing, but the fame
spread SO rapidly that she was soon
overcome and fell by the door while
attempting to get out of the house.
Her boy, little fellow aged about
four years, Witnessed the horrible
death of his mother and tried to get
out the door, but the flames blocked
the passage and he took a hammer and
knocked off a board in the side of the
house and got out. Running to a
ueighboring camp he gave the alarm,
but it was some time before the other
Indians realized that the little fellow
was not telling a story, and when they
got to the pace the poor woman was
but a .charred fragment of hum anity.
The building was on FIRE, but the
flames were soon eXtinguished.
