TRAIN WRECK AT TYRONE, PA.
Engineer Killed; More Than 100 Pas.
sengers Injured.

SN''SS'S 'HJtlSN
Over n hundred passengers were
injured and the engineer OF a loco
motive was killed when passenger
train No, Is ran into the rear of
passenger train No. Is at Tyrone, Pa.
The coaches of train No. Is were
badly damaged.
Train No. 13, which was made up at
Harrisburg and was w%estbound,
crashed into train No. 10, Philadelphia
for Pittsburg, which was just pulling
out of the Tyrone station. No. Is vas
five minutes late and No. 10 was a
through train. A parlor car was at
the rear of No. Is and most of the
seriously injured We're in that car.
The first three cars on No. IL were
mail cars. Mail Clerks Herb. Seitz,
Fisk and H%untzbarger were injured.
All the injured were given first aid
treatment by Tyrone physicians and
druggists. A special train was made
up and the seriously injured were
taken to hospitals at Altoona.
1t is thought the wreck was due to a
mix-up in the signals. II is believed
that train No. Is was let through the
block and the Ell gineer did not see
the train in front Of him until it was
too late to avert the wreck. There is
a sharp curve just near the station
and this INSTRUCTED the engineers
view. The weather was bright and
clear.

The number of dead as a result OF
the double explosion at the East
Brookside colliery of the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron company
at Tower City, Pa, was Increased to
nineteen by the death at Pottsville OF
John Lorenz, mine superintendent.
Daniel Farley and John Fessler, fire
bosses, are still in the workings in
spite of the efforts which have made
to rescue them. 1t is now almost Ger.
tain that they are buried under a big
fall of rock.
Harry Schoffstall, night inspector,
who was the only one or the first
r%escuing party to escape with his life,
is still living and chances are good
for his recovery.
The theory of the miners as to the
cause of the accident Is that the first
explosion was one of dynamite, prob.
ably caused by the laborers in the
tunnel striking a dualin cap in the
debris with their shovels, setting of
175 pounds of dynamite which had
been carried into the mine by the
tunnel workers. This explosion, 1t is
believed, liberated a large body Of gas
which exploded just as the rescuing
party neared the tunnel, killing five
of the six.

DETECTIVE ARMY BAFFLED
Friends Of Servants Believed to Have
Stolen $275, 900 Worth Of Gems.

Stolen $4,000 Worth OF Gems.
The disappearance of $275, 900 worth
of jewels from two residences in
the summer colony at Narragansett
Pier, R. l., remains unexplained though
a small army of detectives has
been diligently at work for more
than a week. Mrs. John IL. Hanan,
who sustained more than half the
total loss, was i%ndisposed as a con-
sequence of the disturbance of her
household combined with the serious
illness of her husband.
According to Charles c. Rumsey,
the original estimate OF the losses at
his cottage vas much too small and
the figure is now placed at S125, 900.
A report that Mr.. Rumsey had dis
missed the detectives in his employ
could not be confirmed.
Detectives hold the generally &C
cepted theory that a gang of profess
sional thieves committed both rob
berries after ingratiating themselves
with servants or others familiar with
the habits of two families.

That newspapers have a right to de-

Objectionable, even if it is submitted

effect of a decision handed down in

The case came up when a local
merchant was sued by a newspaper TO
GOV money due under a yearly
contract which the merchant had de-
clared void because certain portions
of his advertising copy had been re-

Man in Hospital With Fighting Chance
For Life.

Uriah W~ashburn, a Waterman, is in
a hospital in Chester, Pa, with his

son slapped him on the back and
broke his neck. Once before Wash
burn had his neck broken, but 1t was
sutured together with silver wire and
nc n ever knew that the accident
had happened.
For years Washburn has gone about
his work, which has been of the light
est kind, but the operation that was
performed had been so well done that
to all intents and purposes the watch
man was a perfectly normal person.
At the hospital the surgeons say they
may be able to perform a similar
operation again.
