yy SS .. ARE—— Lemont. Nathan Grove is on the sick list this week. The Houserville U. B. protracted meeting is still going on. Walter Musser and men are busy tearing down the old creamery building.

The banquet held by the Grangers the lat- ter part of last week was well attended and all had a pleasant time. George R. Roan bad a Bell telephone in- stalled in his residence a few days ago, so any one wishing to speak with him can do 80. James DD.

Etters visited some of the schools of College township Monday, and he reports the roads down by Linden Hall bad- ly drifted. The only difference between last Friday morning and last summer was at the former time there was too much ice and last summer not enough.

Williams made a flying trip from Altoona the fore part of last week to pay his sister, Mrs. Longwell, a visit before she departs for her home in Philadelphia. Robert F.

Rockefeller’s fortune was reported in an inquiry here. In reply to a question, Frederick T. Gates, Mr. Bogketallors business representative, “There have been a great many amusing misstatements on this sub- Ject. Quite recently a statement has been made and published widely throughout the country that his an- nual income exceeds $100,000,000. Now the facts are that Mr. Rockefeller has at various times himself authorized a statement that his fortune cannot ex- ceed $250,000,000 to $253,000,000. Fur- thermore, his income instead of being $100,000,000, or anything like it, can- not in his most prosperous year have exceeded $15,000,000 to $20,000,000. The public generally are under the impression that he owns a majority of the Standard Oil stock. The facts arc that Mr. Rockefeller’s holdings of Standard Oil stock are about 20 per cent.” 64 PASSENGERS WERE INJURED Johnstown, Pa., Feb. 25.—In one of the most remarkable and miraculous wrecks that has ever occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad, 54 passengers were more or less injured when the Pennsylvania special, the palatial 18- hour train between New York and Chicago was wrecked while rounding a sharp curve near South Fork, six miles from this city. Of the injured passengers seven sus- tained serious hurts necessitating their removal to hospitals. They are Fred- erick A. Busse, postmaster of Chicago; John F. Kline, postmaster of Jolit, IIL; Felix Isman, real estate broker, Phila- delphia, and Samuel F. Nixon, Phila- delphia, taken to the Altoona hospital. Thomas Bauer, Lafayette, Ind.; J. Wood Wilson, Maricn, Ind., and W. H. Baker, Chicago, are in the Allegheny General hospital at Pittsburg. All of the injured passengers except those mentioned above were sent to Pittsburg on the first section of the St. Louis express. The train was run- ning about 50 minutes late and was traveling over 50 miles an hour when it reached the curve. The accident was caused by a brake rigging dropping to the track on the first Pullman coach following the engine and com- bination smoking car. The great speed and weight of the train tore up the tracks and steel ties for a distance of 300 feet. The engine and smoking car remained on the rails, but the three Pullman coaches plunged from the track down, over a 60-foot embank- ment, where they rolled over and over onto the thick ice covering the Cone- maugh river. Much disorder followed the accident, which was greatly increased by the attempts of the railroad officials to pre- vent the newspaper men from getting at the facts. In the midst of the confusion a num- ber of foreigners were detected plun- dering the Pullman cars. One was ar- | rested and the others driven away by | a disulay of firearms. Considerable jewelry and valuable wearing apparel will be lost as a re- sult, however. All the passengers were thankful and happy that they had escaped death, and Rev. Edward Cope, of Phil- adelphia, conducted brief services on the relief train, in which he thanked God for their deliverance. The cars did not overturn going down the steep hill. There were no trees or obstructions in the way to hinder them and they remained up- right until they reached the bottom. The first car overturned and slid along on its side for quite a distance. The second car did likewise. The third car turned over completely and had its top crushed in. The fourth car is on its side. Most of the passengers on the train were in their berths when the cars left the tracks. The cars went through the heavy ice on the river, but there was so lit- tle water that there was no danger of drowning. The locomotive and com-4 bination car remained on the tracks, SAY PENNSY MEN LOOTED Three Employes Accucsed of Stealing From Wreck Victims. Johnstown, Pa., Feb. 26,—Passenger Flagman C. E. Hoover, who gave the first news of the wreck of the Penn- sylvania special Saturday morning, is under arrest, charged with larceny. Detective Charles A. Robinson alleges that Hoover had in his possession a lady's watch with diamond settings worth $1500 and over a dozen small ar- ticles of fair value. He said he in- tended to turn the articles over to the high officials, and the police here arc inclined to believe him. Two other railroaders, Vincent Sherlock, a freight brakeman, and Michael Burke, a rail- the Elmwood avenue entrance to Dela ware Park. The dead are: Mrs. William H. Drummer, 28 years old; Authony Beiter, 13 years old; Richard Beiter, 12 years old, Anthony's brother, and Ruth Drummer, 14 years old, Mrs. Drummer’s stepdaughter. Mrs. Drummer, with several chil dren, was walking on the ice toward Delaware Park. At the Elmwood ave- nue viaduct over the creek the ice suddenly gave way under Ruth and the two Beiter boys, throwing them into the water. Mrs. Drummer was about 20 feet away with her 4-year-old son, Walter. Mrs. Drummer ran to the res- cue of the three children. In her ef- forts to save them she broke through the ice, and little Walter, who had toddied after his mother, fell in after her. Walter clung to the edge of the fce and was rescued. Mrs. Drummer was unconscoius when taken from the water and died shortly afterward. The bodies of the others were recovered.

He 1. an! hie col BLERKS ARE UNDER SUSPICION Chicago, Feb. 26.—One ‘of the larg- est, if pot the largest, thefts from the United States treasury has been un- earthed in Chicago. Somewhere be- tween $170,000 and $175,000 was stolen from the local sub-treasury last week. The money has disappeared as com- pletely as if it had vanished from the face of the earth. When interviewed in regard to the robbery, Sub-Treasurer Boldenweck admitted that a theft of $173,000 had been perpetrated, but refused to go into details. Mr, Boldenweck declared later that it had been definitely determined just where the shortage occurred, but he declined to say where it had been traced. He declared himself positive, howewver, that the money had never reached the vaults. He said that the only reason for believing that the stolen money had been in bills of large denomination was that it would have been impossible for anybody to take $173,000 from the office in small bills and escaped detection, but that a package of $173,000 in $1000 bills could have been carried about the person easily without exciting sus- picion. “It is true that what I and other government officials believe to be a gigantic steal has been perpetrated in the sub-treasury,” he said. “The amount, I believe, will be $173,000. At present I cannot go into details as to what work we have done in the case or what method of procedure Chief Wilkie, Captain Porter and their men will pursue. “We discovered the shortage last Wednesday when the books of the sub- treasury were balanced for the day. There is a possibility that the shortage is due to an error of a bookkeeper, but I am inclined to believe that a robbery has been committed. The money was in large denominations as far as I have learned, currency bills of $1000, $5000 and $10,000 each.” Every man who could have had any- thing to do with the case was called into Treasurer Boldenweck’s office and put through an exhaustive examination and a still more rigid cross-examina- tion. They stood the ordeal, every one of the. All denied any knowledge of the theft and protested their innocence with unanimity and vociferousness. But it was perfectly obvious that some one was lying. The chances were 1000 to 1 that one or more of the employes actually had purloined the cash or had road hand, were also arrested on a charge of looting the Pullmans. Both men were released on bail. Burke had two diamond pins worth $1500 about him, while Sherlock had a fine over- coat. DIED TRYING TO SAVE CHILDREN Woman Tried to Rescue Three When Ice Broke and All Drowned. Buffalo, N.
