Although a relief train was prompt

of the accident it was three hours and
fifty minutes after the crash when
the first victim was removed from
the wreckage So great was the force
of the collision that the smoking car
was telescoped over the baggage car,
one car completely enveloping the
other. The cries of the mangled and
helpless victims within the car were
plainly heard by the rescuers long be-

penetrate the twisted and damned
wreckage and render assistance.

LECTED TO FILL VACANCY

Hot Springs, Ark. Jan. 26.-The
official term of Postmater Fred E.
johnson of the Postoffice in this city
came to an end yesterday, and while
he holds the office until his success
sor is appointed and qualified, yet
the fact that no news was heard
from Washington yesterday relative
to the successor was very disappoint-
ing to many of those who are seek
ing the appointment.
Not word was heard indicating
what Congressman Sam Taylor had
done in the matter. 1t had been gen.
orally conceded that the appointment
was wholly within his hands, and
that the man who received his en-
dorsement would be appointed by
the postmaster general, without
doubt.
During recent visit Mr.. Taylor
made to Hot Springs he conducted
some little inquiry for himself as 70
the candidate, but he did not indi-
cate anything as to who would be his
selection. There are more than hall
a dozen candidates for the place and
all of these seemed yesterday to ex'
pect that any moment would bring
tn news that the matter had been
settled, but II came not There was
one postmastership sent out over the
press report from Washington last
night. that Of a postmaster in q small

LIST Psalm.
Mr.. Allen made the students an
inspiring address full of good advice
and kind Thoughts. He advised the

failure be stimulant for the better
work. "Those who passed. he said,
"are a credit to their teachers, the
school and themselves. Those who
failed have only themselves to blame.
The joys and sorrows of examinations

do is to settle down and do a half
year of good work. Those who pass
ed can better their record, those who
failed can redeem their bad ones"

been avery pleasant one, the teach
ers and pupils cooperating in. evry
thing for the betterment of school
affairs. Mr.. Allen reviewed the

tDNFERS TO AIDING
PRISONERS |: TO E. ESCAPE
ATF1CHES OF STATE ASYLUM
FOR THE INSANE ARE AR
RESTED AS A RESULT.


Little Rock, Jan. 26.-The escape
OF Herbert Coons, alias "ThA Brass
Kid" from the State Hospi IL for
the Treatment Of Nervous Diseases
Saturday night. resembles very much
the escape Of Harry X. Thaw from
the asylum at Matteawan, N. Y. In
the case of Coons, however, those
who made his escape possible are un-
der arrest and the city officers ex-
spect soon to have Coons back in
prison.
Shortly after dusk Saturday even
Ing. county and city officers in Little
Rock were notified that Coons was
missing, and the only trace that
could be found was automobile tracks
on road near the state asylum,
where Coons had been incarcerated.
No one apparently saw the man es-
cape, nor could account for his alb
sence.
On Sunday morning the Little
Rock police took into custody two at
tendants at the hospital, who admit
ted they had permitted Coons to es-
cape. and had assisted him in cover
ing his tracks until he had a chance
to get away from the grounds. The
young men. who have served as at
PENDANTS in a number of other state
institutions, confessed that they al
& lowed Coons to go on his promise to
visit the home OF an attorney in Lit
tile Rock and to send them an amount
\ between 5000 and $500 which he had
Stfore. The men declare they never
heard the name Of the attorney, but
Coons offered to take them along and
pay them as soon as the house was
reached. but they declined in order to
allay suspicion that they were impli-
GATED In the plot to escape.
ss II IL thought by the officers that
Coons was met on the outside by
confederates who spirited him away
Ia m automobile The men under
arrest state they knew nothing about
outside aid, as Coons had never
spoken Of any.
