Fifteen Persons Lose
Lives In Train Wreck

One of those railroad horrors which
it seems must come, occurred last
Thursday at Blairsville, Pa, on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, in which fif-
teen, persons lost their ives-four
.trainmen and eleven passengers.
It was a case of crash into the
rear of a train standing still, by one
going at a high rate of speed. Sleep
ing cars and Pullmans were telescOp-
ed, and the passengers, sleeping and
awake, were either killed, or badly
wounded.
Investigations have not been thor
ough enough as yet to settle the cause
of the disaster. It was due probably
to mistaken or disregarded signals.
The statement was made that shortly
after one train stopped the brakeman
went back and burnt flares; but soon
afterward the moving train Numbered
out of the darkness and the awful
crash came.
Another accident is recorded in Ne
vada which was attended by a pa
thetic incident. A sleeping car caught
fire. A bridal couple therein made
their escape. The groom returned to
the blazing car to save some baggage,
and made his exit by leaping through
a window. The bride, unaware of this,
became uneasy about her husband,
rushed into the car to look for him
and persisted in the flames. Five 9th
ers are missing from this car, and six
are reported as wounded.

Two Pocomoke base ball enthusiasts
made trip to Crisfield this week to
see game between the team repre-

Easton.
But when they arrived they found
the ball park at the Somerset town
deserted. The Crisfeld bunch were
playing at Easton. It is not reported
as to just how the boys got their dates
mixed. They deny that they had TAX
en- anything to make them see double

Fingers In Making Arrest

Chief of Police Stroud made an arrest
which should be a lesson to the riot
ious element of the town. Two boys
were at the home Of James Drifting

disturbing the peace so it was alleged.

rived one of the culprits was trying
to leave the house. The Chief, how
ever, blocked the way, and after a
rather lengthy tussle managed to
bring the offender to terms. The
boys name was Richard Jones from
around Stockton. l
Chief Stroud, while making the ar
rest, sprained two of his fingers,
