The Nevada Beats Them All.

the last thing in naval architecture,
power and practicability in the world.
Admiral Bowels. formerly chief
constructor of the Navy Department.
who is building the Nevada. says
that she will be a greater ship than
the Argentine monster which now
holds the record for size but notin
power of battery The Argentine
ships are $4,000 tons burden and car
nv each twelve twelveinch buns.
The Nevada is to be of greater dis
placement and is to carry twelve
fourteen-inch guns.
The Argentine ships have e98 feet
beam and as the canal lacks are 10
feet. according to Admiral Bowles,
they will hav only leeway of six
feet on each. side to get through
1t is different with the Nevada
with all chr additional advantages,
Admiral Bowles says. She is % feet
and that will give her nine feet on
each side to make the passage through
the locks He regards that difference
as very important.
Admiral Bowles does not think il

crash occurred. although after the wreck
IL was thought that there might have
been another trainman riding in il. The
cause of the fire which followed the col
iision, as explained by him. was the up
setting of a stove in the caboose OF the
freight train The blaze rapidly spread
to the other cars and the contents. com
posed partially of Hflammable merchan-
disc, soon became a mass of flames.
Today. all trains that ordinarily would
pass through the tunnel were diverted
over the Boston & Albany Railroad.
The cause of the wreck was learned.
today. A freight train of empty cars
was being shifted in the yard wnen the
forward truck of one of the empty cars
split switch. one end of the car went
onto the main track while the other took
the siding. This held up their freight
train in the tunnel and while the train
was stalled the passenger train came
along and the collision resulted. The
engineer of the passenger train, how
ever had been notified that the freight
was held up, it was stated. 1t was stun
believed here, today, that the brakes Of
the electric engine failed to work. Gas
In the tunnel made the attempt of the
railroad employees TO reach the scene OF
the wreck extremely hazardous. Despite
the condition, however, Freight Brake
man Thomas Madden rode into the tun-
mel on the under part of fiat car, and
succeeded in fastening chain to seven
of the freight cars. These We're drag
ged out by an engine Madden said that
10 cars were still burning so briskly
that he could not reach them The train
consisted of refrigerator and livestock
cars. One of the cars pulled out of the
tunnel, this forenoon, was loaded with
hogs All had been suffocated or burn
ed
Railroad men We're OF the opinion
that ii would be SO hours before the
tunnel could be entered to start the
work of clearing away the wreckage.
Great waves of heat and gas contin
ued TO sweep out of the mouth of the
tunnel today Men who entered the
tunnel said that great pieces of rocks
were continually falling. The faces
and hands of those who entered the
tunnel were blistered by the extreme
heat.
Fire engines and crews from Spring
field and Shelburne Falls were at
work, this afternoon, attempting to
extinguish the flames. The tiremen
worked from beneath fiat cars and
the water was taken into the tunnel
in the tenders of four locomotives.
This afternoon the firemen had pene-
trated 500 feet into the tunnel, about
400 feet from the scene of the wreck.
Big pieces of rock continue to fall in
the tunnel, about 800 feet west of the
wreck Trainmen say that it will be
impossible for trains to go through
the tunnel before the first of next
week. 1t was believed that the fire
started from a stove in the caboose
of the wrecked freight train. The next
car was filed with hay and it is
thought that this caught fire shortly
after the wreck occurred.
