Red Cross History.

The work of the Red Gross is
far reaching in it's great work.
It was organized at an inter
national conference held at
Geneva, Switzerland, in 1868,
which was followed the next
year by an international conven.
ton agreed upon at the same
place at which the international
treaty of Geneva was accepted
and signed by a number OF
nations. According to this
treaty all hospitals and hospital
officials and all in any way
engaged in attending the sick
and wounded in time of war are
treated as neutral persons and
properties. The first war to
bring the Red Cross service in
to activity was that of 1866, in
Germany, Austria and Italy.
The next call on the Red Cross
was in the FrancoPrussion War.
The American National Red
Cross was incorporated under
the laws of the District of
Colum bia Oct. /, 1881, reincor'
porated April II, 1898 and again
reincorporated by act of Con-
gress in June, 1900, for the re-
lief of suffering in time of war,
by pestilence, famine, floods,
fires and any calamity of suf-
ficient magnitude to be deemed
national in extent. The organi-
zation acts under the Geneva
treaty. Miss Clara Barton was
the founder of the American
Red cross.

Trolley PlungeS
In Niagra Gorge

ANlOS9 OIL ~ l. eIllto1 49, L u di) u
A belt line trolley car on the
Great Gorge route left the rails,
plunged down 20-foot emEank-
ment and turned over in ten feet
of water on the edge of the
Whirlpool Rapids at $50 o'clock
this afternoon.
Nine persons are known to be
dead. Two persons known to
have been on the car have Lot
been seen since the accident and
probably are dead. An indie
finite number, estimated at from
Two to ten, are reported missing,
and more than a score are in
hospitals, suffering from in
juries received in the accident.
There were more than so peO
pie on the car.
A washout due to recent heavy
rains. was the cause of the dis
aster, which occurred just below
the Cantilever bridge and 60
feet below the point where the
smooth water Of the upper
reaches of the Niagara river
breaks into the turbulent waters
of the whirlpool Rapids. The
car had all but completed the cir
cult of the Gorge, having crossed
from the Canadian side of the
river on the trolley bridge at
Lewiston.
The car was one Of the open
types, the seats extending from
side to side with steps on both
sides the full length Of the car,
All the seats were occupied and
some of the passengers We're
standing between them, and
there were others on the rear
platform.
The car was running at speed
of about 20 miles an hour when
it struck the weak spot in the
road bed. Less than half a
minute elapsed from the time
the motorman felt the first jar
ring away until the car was bot
tom side up on the edge of the
rushing rapids.
AS it slipped down the incline
from the tracks to the edge of
the river screaming men and
women fought to escape, and
some of them were able to get
free, but we're unable to obtain a
footing on the steep bank,
There was a mad scramble in
the shallow water. From the
river side the bodies of at least
two of the passengers were seen
to be caught in the swift waters
and were carried down to the
whirlpool.
Members of the National
Guard regiment who were on
guard at the Cantilever bridge
saw the accident and were the
first to the rescue. The soldiers
slid down the bank into the
river and worked in water up to
their waists getting injured pas,
