MANY CHILDREN INJURED WHEN A PENNSYLVANIA PASSENGER
 IS STRUCK BY FREIGHT.
NURSE BECOMES HEROINE
Front of Car-Resort Town In Mourning-First Deaths in
 Forty Years.

Ligonier, Pa, July S.-With 27 per sons dead and more than 30 injured, some so seriously that the death toll probably will be increased before the day ends, this summer resort and pie mic today is a village of sorrow, fol lowing the telescoping of a passenger train on the Wilpen branch of the Ligonier Valley railroad.
 Almost every family in town was affected by the disaster and every home became a hospital or feverishly aided in caring for the injured, many of whom were children returning from a romp in the woods and carrying wild flowers gathered during the day.
 Only One Coach on Train.
 The Wilpen branch is an outlet for the mines of the Wilpen Coal com pany, and one passenger train, a coach and an engine, makes trips over the 10 miles of road every day, one in the morning and one in the after noon. It was during the afternoon trip that the accident happened.
 The train was coming down the slope of the mountain and the chil- dren had gathered around Miss Esther NJ. Mathews, a nurse, who had in spe- cial care several children of Henry Rhoddy, manager of the McCane Sup. ply company at Ligonier, at one end of the car.
 Miss Mathews, talking and laugh ing with the children, looked out of the rear door of the car and saw a long freight train bearing down upon them. She realized a crash could not be avoided and threw the two children nearest her in the baggage compart ment near the front of the car. This foresight probably saved their lives.
 Saves Other Children.
 An instant later she clasped two more of the children in her arms and ran toward the front of the car, and then the heavy freight with it's two engines crashed through the f1imsy day coach, crushing it like an egg shell, and killing and maiming more than a score of it's occupants.
 Miss Mathews was buried along with other passengers, under a mass of wreckage, but refused to be taken from beneath the heavy timbers until her little charges were rescued. She was taken to the Allegheny general hospital, where she recently con- pleted a course in nursing

Secretary H. NJ. Hewitt of the Bryan
Commercial Club, and who is also sec
rotary of the Civic League, is to be
commended for his generosity and pub

one of the five winners in the contest
and actuated by his interest in Bryan
and its welfare, presented his part
about 500, to the league, which was
indeed a handsome thing to do.

NEW MOVE WILL NOT SUCCEED

Colonel Roosevelt and his followers
in their Independent movement are
going to try for recruits from the re-
publican, democratic, socialist and all
other ranks. There is absolutely moth
ing in their appeal, except they want
Teddy" instead of Taft.
The platform drawn by the platform
committee suited the Roosevelt men,
bers of the committee so well they
did not even prepare minority re-
port They would have been perfectly
satisfied with the platform If they
could have gotten Roosevelt as a
leader Hence they have nothing to
go before the country on as an appeal
for votes.
1t occurs to The Eagle they had bet
ter have raised rough house, elected
their own chairman and made their
nomination right on the floor of the
Coliseum. They could then have laid
claim to being the regular republican
party and gone before the people on
that issue.
1t Is fact they were steam-rolled
to fare-you-well, which may have
been sufficient cause for bolt and
straight fight before the people with
in the ranks, but not for starting a
third party to be made up of the dis
affected elements of all the different
parties. In such an aggregation there
can be no harmony, no oneness of
purpose and no victory.
There must be something for a basis
more than desire to have certain
individual for president, upon which
to found an Independent movement
that will sweep the country.
The infant prodigy will die right
where it Is.

The many people who have been on
the anxious seat Of anticipation for
the past twenty days regarding the
money contained in the large jar at
the Princess Theatre, were informed
as to how close they came in their
guesses by the announcement of the
amount and the lucky ones Saturday

curtain with the amount of their
guesses, as follows:
Mrs. J. NJ. Saladiner, $9S.67.

M. G. Steele of Jewett, $9S.75.
The amount of the money in the jar
was 1851, so that it can readily be
seen that there were five guesses
within four cents of the correct
amount, and the $9S.71 will be divided
equally among them.

One of the geologists who indicat- ed the probability Of rich placers in the Kloudike shortly before the big discoveries said that the mother lode of silver WIS in Mexico and he believed the mother lode Of gold was in Alaska. He predicted that ultimately Alaska would be the greatest of all gold producing coun- tries, as Mexico has been the great est of silver producers. The only thing about this prediction unveri- fled is the extent of the Alaska gold deposits. Gold has been found tn every explored part of the ter ritory, and every part has been at least superfiGially explored eX- cept the Arctic region. Such an extensive area of gold bearing rock and gravel is found nowhere else. Gold is found In all the states from the Rockies to the Pacific and most Of them are large gold pro ducers, but only a small fraction comparatively, of their area, carries gold in workable quantity.
