Pennsylvania Trains Collide on
Trestle Work.
SMOKING CAR TELESCOPED
Camden, N. J., Dec. 28.—Three per-
sons were killed and a score more or
less seriously injured in a collision on
the new elevated line of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad system, when a Pem-
berton accommodation train crashed
into the rear of an Atlantic City ex-
press.
The dead are: Thomas L. Webster,
of Merchantville, N. J.; C. T. Sont-
gen, of Stanwood, N. J., and James J.
Dabarino, of Mount Holly, N. J.
Those killed and injured were in
the smoking car of the accommodation
train, next to the locomotive. No one
on the Atlantic City train was in-
jured, nor were the firemen or engi-
neers of either train hurt. The ma-
jority of the passengers had left the
Atlantic City train when the crash
eccurred.
There was a dense fog at the time,
which is supposed to have caused the
accident. The Atlantic City train was
stationary, having been stopped just
outside the trainshed. For some rea-
son as yet undetermined the Pember-
ton accommodation bore down upon
it, the impact driving the tender of
the accommodation train locomotive
under the smoker behind it, in which
nearly every passenge? was injured to
some extent.
Just who is at fault has not been
decided. The Atlantic City train
usually slows up at the point where
the accident occurred, but all trains
were delayed by the fog, while outgo-
ing trains waited for scheduled boats
that were delayed on the river.
The rear of the Atlantie City train
caught fire and the fire department
and all the police reserves of the city
were called out. The firemen, train
hands and the police worked energeti-
callly to get the dead and injured
from the wreck.
Among the injured are: James
Clark, Merchantville, N. J. general
contusions; Charles Stewart, Mer
chantville, N. J., ankle broken, eye
cut; William H. Mason, fifty-three
years old, Mount Holly, bruised back
and leg; F. H. Smith, Brooklyn, shock;
Paul Smith, six years old, Merchant’
ville, contusions; J. K. Mendenhall,
Lumberton, N. J., broken arm and dis-
located hip; W. C. Dix, Merchantville,
struck on nose by flying timber; Paul
Picot, Merchantville, badly bruised;

juries; W. B. Abbey, Mount Holly,

DEADLY FLOBERT RIFLE
Eight-Year-Old Boy Accidentally Shot
and Killed His Mother.
Stroudsburg, Pa., Dec. 30. — Mrs,
George Hoenshilt, of Scranton, was
accidentally shot and killed here by
her eight-year-old son Lewis. Mrs.
Hoenshilt, who was visiting her father,
Samuel Edinger, was talking to a
friend over the telephone when her
son, who had previously been shooting
at mark with a flobert rifle, came ino
the room and pointing the gun at her
pulled the trigger. A bullet struck
Mrs. Hoenshilt in a vital spot and she
lived but a short time. The boy
thought the gun was empty.
Victims of Suicide Pact.
Baltimore, Dec. 31. — Apparently
wiiling victims of a suicide pact, Sand:
ers Pearlman, aged twenty-four years.
and his wife Cecilia, aged twenty,
were found in their bedroom. The man
was dead and the woman nearly so.
She is in a nospital and has not yet
regained consciousness. The room was
filled with gas from a bracket, the
cock of which could be turned only
with difficulty. No one can be found
to assign a reason for the act of the
couple, whose married life is said to
have been apparently happy.
Hangs On Fence and Dies.
Conshohocken, Pa. Dec. 30. — The
death of James Worrell, a Civil War
veteran, was indirectly due to being
caught on a fence while climbing in:
to his yard in West Conshohocken.
Worrell, on his return home late at
night, found the front gate locked.
Not desiring to awaken the household,
he made his ill-fated attempt to climb
the fense, when his trousers leg was
caught on the top of a picket and he
hung head downward, in which posi-
tion he was discovered in an uncon-
scious condition, and he never rallied.
Kills Her to See Child Burn.
Tamaqua, Pa., Dec. 30.—While Mrs.
Michael Haben, of Lansford, was pour-
ing kerosene on a fire she was making
it exploded, setting fire to her six-
year-old daughter. When the mother
saw the child in flames she fell dead
from the shock. The little girl was al
most incinerated.
A BURMESE TIGER.
Bringing Down One of These Kings of
the Jungle.
It must be the king of the jungle.
The anger of the monkey people said
it, and the terror in the eyes of the
bullock pictured it. He was straining
back at the strong rope that held him,
and from his frothed ilps issued a low
moaning bellow of fear. His fawn
colored skin, soft as silk, was as trem-
ulous as shaken water.
The bullock was a watch that timed
dccurately each yard in the tiger's ad-
vance. His abject terror filled me with
pity. It was a strange, inexplicable
thing, this intuition of the animal
world that taught them wherein lay
great danger.
Now, I knew that stripes was close,
for the monkeys, running nimbly to
the top of their tree, shot away with
downward swoop to the branches of
another, scolding and calling to each
other as they fled.
The bullock had almost ceased to bel-
low and stood, fore legs wide apart and
head lowered to the ground, transfixed
in terror.
Suddenly through the bushes ten
yards from our machan was thrust
the sneering yellow muzzle of a tiger,
and his red brown eyes giared with
horrible cupidity at the animal that
was now fascinated to silence. Atop
this face of evil the rounded ears,
black rosetted, were twitched back an-
y.
Even in its dreadful menace, In its
suggestion of brutal ferocity, the
stealthy approach of the tigress was
beautiful to see. A creep of a yard
or two, then she crouched, head low
to earth and tall lashing from side to
side with vicious jerks.
The cub was evidently being school-
ed. Close behind his mother the
youngster skulked, his young, foolish
eyes shifting from point to point as
though he did not quite know what it
all meant.
As we lay side by side both our rifles
were trained on the tigress.
She was head-on to us, and either
the brain shot or the point of the shoul-
der or the vertebrae of the neck were |
there to choose from,
I knew that Dan would nudge me
when we were to fire, and I waited,
finger on trigger and my eye lying
along the sights.
The tigress crouched and turned her
face toward our machan, though her
eyes still rested straight ahead.
I felt the soft push of Dan's knee on
my leg and pressed my trembling fin-
ger to the lever.
There was a roar of both rifles, a lit-
tle cloud of smoke, a sulphurous breath
in our nostrils, and below in the bar- |
ren paddy field many devils were tear- |
ing up the earth with great noise.
“Bagged her!” Dan ejaculated, for
the great beast, tawny and black strip- |
Thackeray as a Diner.
Many wortby and some notable per-
sons have possessed the onion babit
now and again. Willlam Makepeace
Thackeray, writing of himself in “Lov-
ell the Widower,” says, “It is notori-
ous to all my friends there is a cer-
tain dish 1 cannot resist.” He referred
to stewed tripe and onions, as a proof
of which it is narrated of him that on
one occasion while on his way to dine
with the Marquis of Westminster his
eye caught sight of a placard in the
window of a London restaurant bear-
ing the legend, “Tripe and onions to-
night.” Going in, he called for the
off as an excuse to his would be host
that he had unexpectedly met an old
friend that insisted upon
him, Thackeray's favorite edibles were
raw oysters and onions, and it may be
recalled that he told Mr. Field, the
Boston author, who acted as agent in
his lecture tour in this country, that
his chief purpose in coming to Amer-
fea was to obtain some of the famous
large oysters of this land—which he
had heard grew to fabulous size—in-
stead of the little coppery things of
England. At this first dinner of Bos-
! ton, therefore, a plate of large “Provi-
dence rivers” was set before him as
an appetizer,

| felt, he replied: “Profoundly grateful.

He added that he must eat an onion to
digest him,
Two Ways of Love.
| Two brothers who had not seen each |
| other for ten years met at the Grand |
| Central station, New York. As soon as
| one saw the other coming down the
platform he rushed toward him and
| fell on his neck. They hugged each
| other, these honest German black-
| smiths; they kissed each other; they
| jumped about and shouted and laugh-
ed wildly in their joy. An observing
| crowd impeded the movements of pas-
| sengers, and the brothers, arrested for
disturbing the peace, were thrown into
' a cell, where they could exchange rem-
| iniscences and vent their happiness
without jarring the less sentimental.
An eminent Bostonlan was away
| from the city for a dozen years. Re-
turning, he visited his club, and he
thus described his visit: “There were
. the same men in the same seats. They
| were drinking the drinks they used to
order when I left. They were talking
| about the same things. One of them
| looked up when | went into the room,
nodded and sald: ‘Hello, Wigglespoon!

Again our rifles spoke.
Slowly the huge head fell flat to

or was it only a glint of pity for the

blood that oozed from mouth and nos-

A Verdant Student.
To add to the gayety of nations a
new Arkansas student from the rural |
districts was caught the moment he
stepped off a train, and a few points |
were explained. He was told that if
he hoped for pence during his college
life he must promptly squelch a watch- |
man who took a delight In bossing |
freshmen. They led him like a lamb
to the room of the president and in-
formed him the watchman was inside.
The young man entered. Sure enough,
there was a man sitting at the desk.
“I merely want to say.” the student
began, “that I don't like your face. I
can't compel you to change it, but
keep it away from me or I'll hurt it.”
The supposed watchman grew apo-
plectic.
“You may be the policeman,” went
on the youth, “but you must keep on
your own beat. Don’t try to explain.
I've heard of you before. All I want
to say is, keep away from me.”
Then he went out, and the next day,
when he realized it all, he passed on
to the football field and saw the spot
where fools rush and angels fear to
tread. —Fayetteville (Ark. Dispatch to
