HIS TURN COST 40 LIVES
Engineer of Inflated Express
Admits he Probably Passed
Caution Signal

Corning, n. Y, July 16.-Wil-
liam Schroeder, engineer of the
i'll fated Lackawanna express, which
crashed into the rear of the pas
senger train here on July 4, costing
the lives of 40 persons, admitted at
the coroner's inquest here that he
had probably passed a block signal
set at "caution' and the warning
fuse placed beside the track by the
tlagman.
Schroeder testified in defense of
this that trouble with the injectors,
which sent the water into the boil
ers, forced him to turn his attention
momentarily from watching for
signals to the injectors, and that in
this moment his train shot past the
stretch of 1000 feet in which were
said to be located both the caution
signal and the tlagman.
He admitted he had drank gin
the night before the wreck, but de-
MED that he was intoxicated. He
said his fireman had noted that he
was having trouble with the injec-
tors and came forward The
engineer asserted that he got down
from his seat to listen to the fire
man and thought it was while he
was attempting to hear what the
fireman said that he passed the
caution signal and the flagman.
According to Schroeder, he saw
the rear of No. 9 ahead just after
the fireman left for No./9 cab. He
applied the emergency brake and
closed the throttle, but the crash
followed. He had no time to re-
verse his engine, he declared.
Several saloon men, called to
testify as to whether Schroeder was
intoxicated in Elmira the night
before the wreck, bore out Schroe-
der's contention that he was sober.

ness campmeeting is in session on
the new grounds at the north end
of Fourth street. Rev. John Pen
nington, of Damascus, Ohio, and
Rev. S. w. McGarvey. of Irvona,

preaching to attentive and appreci-
ative audiences. A goodly number

from almost the first service and
the prospect is that every available
place will be taken up before the
camp closes. The Sabbath services
were much enjoyed by large con-
gregations and were crowned with
success. The evening service was
a most enthusiastic demonstration
of the fact that Hughesville APP
preciates the benefit and blessing
of having a good campmeeting
within its limits. A free will Of
fering was taken that entirely COW
cred theindebtedness for the ground,
with some $50 over for improve
ments. The response to the ap-
peal for this need was prompt.
The Campmeeting Association pro-
poses laying out the grounds into
avenues, planting some shade trees,
erecting building; and lighting the
ground with electricity, etc.

Look Out for This Sharper

Look out for the fellow with
certified check. His method of
operation is to go to a bank and
buy a draft on New York, or make
some other transaction where he
can secure the signature of the cash
ier. This signature is used to make
a rubber stamp with which he goes
through the form of certifying a
check. Then he rushes in to business
place with story about getting a
telegram to come home, that thebank
isclosed and he hasn't enough money
about him to buy ticket, but luckily
he has a certified check for a couple
of hundred that he got from the
cashier that morning for another
purpose. Will the merchant (whom
he calls by his first name) kindly
cash the check SO that he can leave
on the $40. When the check is
presented the next morning it is
declareda a forgery. Look out for this
fellow, and if he turns up detain him
on some pretence or other while you
send for the police. He is a danger

FIENDISH CRIME COMMIT
TED AT BERNICE BY
SUPPOSED BLACK
HAND
Mans Abdomen Ripped
From Side to Side

From Side to Side
The village of Bernice, which dur
the last few years has been the scene
of several startling crimes by SuppOs-
ed members of the criminal orgaEiz-
alton known AS the Black Hand, was
startled Saturday night by the news
of another fiendish crime, the victim
of which was Tony Kilo. a we'll
known Italian, who is now lying at
the Williamsport hospital in a criti-
cal condition. He was slashed across
the stomach with knife by strange
Italian, who succeeded in getting
away before those who witnessed the
act had recovered their presence of
mind sufficiently to make any move
toward capturing him.
According to those near by at the
time, the strange Italian met Kilo
in front of "the white house" in
Bernice, said something to Kilo
which made him stop, and no sooner
had he halted when the stranger
made sweep with his right hand,
in which he held a knife, the sharp
blade ripping open Kilo's abdomen
from side to side. The wounded man
sank to his knees with groan, his
intestines slipping down to his knees,
and when people reached him he was
unconscious.
The knife wielder took to his heels
and ran toward Towanda. A half
mile south of Bernice all trace of
him was lost. The Bernice constable
and several men spent Saturday
night looking for the fend, but with
out success.
He is described as being about
thirty years of age, height about five
feet eight inches, smooth face, wore
light colored suit which was con
siderably faded, He was little
stopped slouldered, seemingly in
clined to be hunch back. He work
ed in Bernice about a year ago, and
went away, coming back about
week ago. He kept to himself, made
no friends and said nothing which
would lead people to think ill of him.
kilo is about 20 years of age, and has
been employed in the Connell mines
for some time. AS far as can be
learned he was not acquainted with
the man who slashed him.
Many Bernice people are satisfied
it was a Black Hand crime pure and
simple. That Kilo was a marked
man. and that the stranger came to
Bernice, secured employment, full
filled his horrible mission and is now
seeking place of safety.
The officers in all the surrounding
territory have been notified to watch
for the stoop shouldered Italian who
slashed Kilo.
Kilo was taken to the Williams
port hospital on Sunday and every
effort is being made to save his life,
although his condition is very seri-
Gus at this writing.
