SIX HURT when
ENGINES Crash ON
P. and. R. ROAD
CONTINUED from First Pagel

King street station, this city at SAT
o'clock. When the crash came the
passengers and members Of the crew
were greatly shaken up. The freight
locomotive was much larger than the
passenger train engine, and for that
reason was not so badly damaged.
The number of the freight engine was
l'O6s and the passenger locomotive
$50.
There were no cars attached to
the freight engine. which was going
to Elsmere Junction. The fireman
and engineer of this engine escaped
without injuries.
There were a number Of Whining
tonians on the train who had been
away for over Sunday, and were re-
turning to this city. The wreckage
delayed traffic over that track for
several hours.
The passengers we're brought to
this city on another train.
John Horsley, conductor Of the pas
senger train. was also slightly injured
1t was learned this afternoon. He
sustained a number Of bruises.
The passenger train Of which Harry
c. Kinney was the engineer, consisted
Of two passenger coaches and a bag
gage car. In addition to the freight
engine and tender. caboose was
also attached. When the head-on
crash came both engines were thrown
of the track. and, as stated, both
damaged The tender on the engine
on the passenger train. was knocked
off its trucks. The front end Of the
first passenger coach was crushed in.
The injured were brought TO the
Delaware avenue station on a Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad locomotive.
The passenger engine was the last
OF the old type that was used on the
Wilmington and Northern Railroad
when II was sold to the P. and r.
some years ago. Both locomotives
we're gotten back on the track early
this afternoon and taken to the shops
Of the company in this city.

few RECRUITS FOR U. S.
Army IN this CITY

Recruits for the United States
army are as scarce as applicants for
enrolment in the State Militia, ac-
cording TO the officers in charge Of
the recruiting in the Federal Build
ing, Sixth and and King streets.
That more young men OF Whining
ton and vicinity do not join the army
is a matter OF surprise to the Off
GERS in charge. They point out that
there are splendid chances for pro-
motion in the army since the increase
was allowed, especially in the medi-
cal corps.
They say they have urgent calls
for master hospital sergeants, first
sergeants, corporals, cooks and pri-
Yates OF the first class. II is claimed
the physical examination for these
appointments is not as hard as that
for other branches Of the service.

POLITICAL FIGHT MAY Be
aimed At DUPONT HIGHWAY
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MILFORD, Del, Aug From
present indications the dupont Boule-
ward may become campaign issue in
this State, so far as the fight between
the Alfred / DUPONT and the General
T. Coleman DUPONT forces are con-
cerned. The latest claim made by
some champions Of the DUPONT Boule-
ward is that one of the objects in max
ing a fight for the control Of the Re
publican party is for the opposition
to get control of the Legislature for
the purpose Of killing off the DUPONT
BoulevarN
II is claimed that those who are
now fighting the organization opposed
the boulevard and have placed OBJ
stacles in the way of its completion.
In the meantime. GSneral DUPONT is
going on with the work as rapidly as
the right Of way can be secured. and
is now in Sussex county looking over
the construction work which is now
being done. Sussex and lower Kent
counties are keen for the construction
of the boulevard and are opposed TO
repeating the boulevard law.
