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


Over one hundred passengers were
injured and the engineer OF loco
motive was killed when passenger
train No, 13 ran into the rear Of
passenger train No. 10 at Tyrone, Pa
The coaches of train No. 10 were
badly damaged.
Train No. l3, which was made up at
Harrisburg and was westbound,
crashed into train No. 10, Philadelphia
for Pittsburg, which was just pulling
out of the Tyrone station. No. 10 was
five minutes late and No. 13 was
through train. A parlor car was at
the rear of No. 15 and most of the
seriously injured We're in that car
The first three cars on No. Is were
mail cars. Mail Clerks Herb. Seitz,
Fisk and Huntzbarger 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 n
miXup in the signals. II is believed
that train No. 13 was let through the
block and the engineer did not see
the train in front of him until 1t was
too late to avert the wreck. There is
sharp curve just near the station
and this obstructed the engineers
view. The weather was bright and
clear.

Double Explosion in Mine at

FIRST BLAST WAS OF DYNAMITE
Bodies Of Two Men Still Believed to
Be Under Fall Of Rock-Res
cuers Killed by Second Explosion,

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 big
fall of rock.
Harry Schoffstall, night inspector,
who was the only one or the first
rescuing 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 dualn 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 large body of gas
which exploded just as the rescuing
party neared the tunnel, killing five
of the six.

DETECTIVE ARMY 8AFFlED
Friends Of Servants Believed to Have
Stolen $275,O00 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
small army of detectives has
been diligently at work for more
than a week. Mrs. John II. Hanan
who sustained more than half the
total loss, was indisposed 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 or the losses at
his cottage was much too small and
the figure is now placed at $125,OOO
A report that Mr.. Ramsey had dis
missed the detectives in his employ
could not be confirmed.
Detectives hold the generally ac-
cepted theory that gang of profes-
sional thieves committed both rob
berries after ingratiating themselves
with servants or others familiar with
the habits of two families.
