ENGINEER DIES AT

Friends Say Collision Was Re-

Railroad men in Erie, Pa, declare
that the Erie and Pittsburg express
train would not have been wrecked al
Dock Junction if Engineer John S
Jones had arrived there a minute
earlier
His friends say he was dead before
the accident, as he passed at forty
miles an hour, with sagnal set against
him.
The passenger killed was identified
as Joseph KapaninO, of Erie. The other
two dead are Engineer Jones, of Erie,
and a tramp who cannot be identified.
The bodies were found beneath the To-
connective and smoker, the body of the
passenger being badly mutilated.
In addition to the dead, Fireman
James >Firman, of Erie, is in a
serious condition. He was scalded and
burned when the crash came.
The wrecked passenger train was
bound for Erie from Pittsburg and ran
by a block near the crossing, crash
ing into the Lake Shore freight Both
engines and freight and passenger
cars piled up in a mass of twisted
steel and iron, while the splintered
woodwork soon took fire. It was the
later that burned Fireman Firman so
badly after he had been scalded be-
meath his own engine.
Besides the injured in the hospitals
more than a score were taken in au-
tomobiles to nearby homes, where they
were attended by physicians.

HITS GOLF BALL FROM TREE

In Tree Crotch.
Perched on the top round of a lad
der held by twelve men, R. c. Dun
ham used a spoon" to drive a gOli
ball from the crotch of a tree. where
It was lodged, at Elizabeth, N. ].
Since he could get no swing, the
ball dropped dead and the loss of a
stroke prevented him from tieing for
net score in the golf match at the
Suburban club of Elizabeth.
Dunham was playing on the eigh-
teenth hole when he drove the ball
from the tee and it sailed gracefully
along for about $50 yards. The players
and the gallery lost sight of the ball
and searched long in the grass before
a caddie located it in the tree, thirty
6et from the ground.
A ladder was procured and Dunham
made a valiant effort to play from his
precarious position high in the air. A
cheer went up when he swung might.

lided with the tree before the tiny
sphere, which fell to the ground from
the jar.

Tug Sinks Boat; Three Drown.
Three men we're drowned and five
narrowly escaped death when a motor
boat filled with pleasure-seekers col
lided with a tugboat on the Delaware
river, near Florence, N. J.
The victims were married men, with
families. They were George Ledger,
Charles Tect and George Bentz, of
Roeblings, N. ].
The boat, which was the property
of one of the men in the party, was
struck by the tug when in the middle
of the channel The men who were

stuck to the smaller boat were saved.
There were no women aboard the
craft. The party was formed of en-
ployers of Roebling's brewery, and
supplies had been taken aboard for
an all-day outing
A tugboat was coming up the river
at full speed. The captain of the tug
blew a shrill whistle of warning, sig

Bentz. Ledger and Techt jumped
into the water from the rear deck,
where they had been sitting. None of
the three could swim, and after fioun-

AN IDAHO MAMMOTH CAVE.
Explorers Discovered Beautiful Arch
Way and Many Large Rooms.

Explorers Discovered Beautiful Arch
Way and Many Large Rooms.
AS a result Of an investigation of a
mammoth cave near Kuna by the
United States Surveyor-General D. A..
Utter and other prominent engineers
of the state, it is probable that the
cave. which is said to be one Of rare
beauty in its formation, will be set
aside by the government for the pub
lie use. This is the recommendation
which will be made by Mr.. Utter.
In speaking of the cave General Ut
ter said:
THE entrance to the cave is hole
which drops down through a level
plain and down which wire ladderhas
been placed. The cave is a serieg of
apartments about seven in all. The
first room in which we found ourselves
was about thirty feet wide and some
twenty feet high To the north of this
there is a tunnel about three feet high
opening into an apartment $50 feet
long about 40 feet high, and with a
long shelf or balcony running about
it. 1t was on this balcony that the
body of a man was found some time
ago, and it is apparent that he had
climbed on top of it and was working
to dig out through the top when death
overcame him.
THE most beautiful formation in
tba ooya g., m orcbad bo1lwav as fne-
ly and smoothly constructed as though
human hands had been at work there
and which runs forward. about two
hundred and fifty feet. 1t is twenty
feet high and about thirty feet wide.
The flooring of the archway is covered
with a fine coating Of sand.
At one end of the hall the party
came upon an opening Of about foot
by eighteen inches. Mr.. Harston was
the only one Of the party Of sufficiently
small stature to get through the open
ing, and he went ahead about three
hundred yards, when he came to a
point where the passageway was clog
ged with sand"
Inc party W cAplOlC
ward toward the river. They had gone
about a hundred feet when strong
breeze of wet, damp air was felt and
the candles were blown out. The river
Is five miles away, and General Utter
is of the opinion that there Is an open
ing all the way to the river, but the
ground was so Soggy and the opening
so choked up that the party did not
make further explorations in that di-
rection.
The cave is an extremely beautiful
place" said Gen. Utter, land is the re-
suit Of the formation left when the
lava rock cooled off. The rooms in
the cave are huge lava bubbles, so to
speak. and there is no reason why the
cave should not be made into one Of the
most delightful curiosities In the world
From the fact that there is a strong,
wet breeze blowing from one direc-
ton and hot. dry breeze from anoth-
er it is apparent that there are two
other openings in the cave. one to the
river and another To the plainland. -
