TROLLEY CARS CRASH
One Killed, Ten Injured, in Collision
Near Allentown, Pa.
Allentown, Pa., Aug. 6.—Two heavily
loaded trolley cars of the Lehigh Val-
ley Transit company collided head-on
at Hofford’s chapel, three miles south
of Allentown, killing Motorman J. W.
Esser and seriously injuring 10 other
persons. One car was running from
Philadelphia to Allentown and the
other from Allentown to Macungie.
When the Macungie car reached the
turnout beyond Hofford's chapel, the
motorman threw the signal, giving the
car from Philadelphia a clear track.
With the grade in his favor, Motorman
Esser pulled out of the switch and col-
lided with the Macungie car, which was
running rapidly in order to gain the
turnout ahead. Both motormen stuck
to their posts, and Esser still had his
hand on the brake when released from
the wreck. He died an hour later at
a hospital.
The injured are: Miss Marguerite
Ferguson, Washington, N. J. right
tibia fractured; William H. Manley,
Catasauqua, right elbow fractured;
Martin Flynn, Michael G. Finnegan,
Minnie Kindt, Hannah Donohue, all of
Allentown: Mrs. James Rader, of Sieg-
fried: Mrs. Frederick, of Treichlers;
Motorman Herbert Fritz and Conduc-
tor Charles Jones, bruised and cut by
flying glass.
General Manager Hall places the
blame for the accident on Fritz, who,
he says, disregarded the signal.
MINE EXPLOSION INJURES SEVEN
Miner Ignited Gas With Naked Lamp
In Shaft at Nanticoke.
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Aug. 7.—An ex-
plosion of gas occurred in the old No.1
shaft at Nanticoke, operated by the
Susquehanna Coal company. As a di
rect result of the accident, six men
and one boy, all Polish, were injured
or burned, four of whom are not ex:
pected to recover. The explosion was
caused by a miner with a naked lamp
coming in contact with a feeder of gas,
which he ignited while in the act of
blasting. There were nearly 100 men
in the main gangway at the time, bul
they fortunately escaped. Many of
them were knocked down hy the force
of the explosion, but none was serious:
ly injured aside from the seven wha
were near the point where the gas
was set off.
Frank Laman, a door boy, crawled
along the rails in the mine and made
his way through three doors and gave
the alarm to one of the mine bosses.
It took some time to reach the men
and rescue them.
The injured are: Edward Malkows

Rablouski, laborer, fatally burned;
Stanley Opoloski, laborer, fatally

The vessel began to settle rapidly im-

sued on board. The fishermen along
the coast sought to render every as
sistance in their power and sent out
boats which brought many survivors
ashore. Most of the officers and crew
of the Sirio are among the saved.

terror-stricken survivors it would ap-

ing to Brazil. The captain, in order
to shorten the.route and gain time,
purposed to pass as close as possible
to the dangerous rocky ledges sur-
rounding the Hormiges Islands. With.
out any warning and while running at
full speed, the Sirio crashed upon the
rocks with terrific force. A few min-
utes later the stern of the vessel sank
peneath the waves. The passengers
were in a state of horror and panic.
Crowds rushed forward, pushing each
other and fighting for places in the
bow of the boat. Many fell and were
trampled to death. Dozens of men and
women threw themselves into the sea
A young mother who was carrying her
baby was advised to abandon the child

greatest brutality for the possession of

or wounded, including several mem-

by emigrants.

killing several with their knives. Just
as they were about to occupy the boat
themselves, another body of armed em-
! {grants came up and a flerce fight for
the possession of the lifeboat followed.
The survivors have gone into camp
on the main square of the town at
Cape Palos. Here harrowing scenes
are enacted as the stricken families
anxionely seek beloved members
among the rescued. A mother who
lost her three children went insane.
The doctor of the Sirio gave up his
wife and child as lost, but they were
finaily brought in by one of the rescu-
ing boats. and the scene as this family
wes reunited was most affecting. One|
of the boats sent out by the fishermen
brought in 24 passengers.
The condition of the survivors is
most deplorable. They have lost every-
thing and are without money, food or
clothing. The maritime authorities of
Cartegena have dispatched a tug to
the scene, carrying relief supplies. The
buildings of a circus and the poor-
house are being used as temporary
quarters for the survivors. :
An additional sadness is added to
the catastrophe owing to the fact that
a number of fishermen who were
conducting rescuing operations were
drowned in consequence of the over
turning of a boat.
The captain of the Siro just before
he killed himself attributed the wreck
to his own imprudence.
MILITIA DIDN'T PROTECT THEM
Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 7.—A mob of
2000 determined men forcibly entered
the Rowan county jail at Salisbury,
removed therefrom three of the six
negroes charged with the murder of
the Lyerly family at Barber Junction,
July 13. and lynched them. Nease
and John Gillespie and Jack Dilling-
ham, supposed to be the principals in
that crime, were the victims of mob
vengeance. The remaining negroes,
Dillingham, were not molested, and
later officers hurried them away to
Greensboro.
The mob began gathering at sun-
down. Mayor Boyden promptly or-
dered the saloons closed, and with
other prominent citizens, United
States Senator Overman, Judge Long,
who was holding the special term of
court to try the negroes, and Solicitor
Hammer, gathered on the jail steps
and addressed the crowd, which at that
time numbered 2000. There were hoots
and catcalls from the mob, but for a
time there was no move—the mob
lacked a leader. While citizens were
appealing to the mob two men slipped
through the crowd and were entering
the jail with hammers. They were dis-
covered and arrested. Mayor Boyden
called upon the local military com-
pany, the Rowen Rifles, for ald. They
assembled quickly, but were supplied
only with blank cartridges, having no
orders to shoot to kill. Fireman Mec-
Lendon, of Charlotte, a Southern rail
way employe, was shot in the stom-
ach by a bullet said to have been fired
by a member of the mob. He was fa.
tally wounded. Will Troutman, a ne
gro drayman, was also seriously shot
at about the same time.
At 10 o'clock there was a great stir
in the mob, which had been augment
ed by fully 500 men, who came, it is
said, from Whitney. It was but a few
minutes after their arrival when a
crowd of 50, forming a sort of flying
wedge, made a break for the jail
doors, overpowered the officers and ef.
fected an entrance. The great crowd
outside surged in behind the leaders,
and in a few moments more

was made at Henderson's ball grounds
in the edge of the town. There the ne:
groes were given time to confess the

or confess, and were so thoroughly

power of speech. John Gillespie wept
