Widow of Jonathan Dillinger, Whe
Lost His Life Saving Aged Woman,
Awarded Silver Medal and $50 a
Month—$10,000 Granted For Relief
of West Virginia Mine Victims,
Pittsburg, May 4. — The Carnegie
Hero Fund commission at its regular
quarterly meeting made awards to
twenty-three persons in different parts
of this country for deeds of heroism
considered since the last meeting.
The awards consist of sixteen bronze
and seven silver medals, $14,000 in
cash and annuities amounting to $125
a month.
The commission also appropriated
$10,000 to the relief fund for the rela
tives of thc 117 victims of the two
mine explosions at the Lick Branch
mine of the Pocahontas Consolidated
Colileries company at Switchback, W.
Va., on Dec. 29, 1908, and Jan. 12, |
1909. t
The following are some of ‘the
awards:
Sallie R. Dillinger, of Pottsville, Pa., |
widow of Jonathan Dillinger, awarded |
silver medal and $50 a month during
her life or till she remarries, with $5
a month additional for her daughter
till she is sixteen years old. Jonathan
Dillinger or Jan. 23, 1908, rushed in
front of a moving train at Pottstown,
Pa., and shoved Mrs. Mary E. Gruff,
sixty-five years old and slightly deaf,
from the tracks. Her legs were cut off,
but her life was saved. Dillinger was
killed.
John Carruthers, of West Newton,
Pa., awarded bronze medal and $1000
to be applied to the purchase of a
home. Carruthers, a Baltimore & Ohio
railroad engineer, saw a boy crawling
across the track in front of his train.
He went through his cab window and
to the pilot, where he seized the boy
and prevented his being run over.
John C. Scureman, of West Pitts
ton, Pa., awarded bronze medal and
$2160 to liquidate his indebtedness.
Scureman rescued Karl A. Keller,
eleven years old, who had grasped a
live wire and was thrown unconscious
to the ground, still grasping the wire.
The boy was saved, but Scureman
came in coatact with another wire
and was permanently injured.
Henry Herwig, of Sharon, Pa., was

apply on the purchase of a home.

over the “Falls of the James,” in the
James river, Richmond, in an effort

Barnes was drowned.

Such a Kill on First Hunt For King of
Jungle Was Far Beyond Their Ex-
pectations — No Fewer Than Ten
_ Kinds of Game Taken.
Four lions are trophies of ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's camp in the Mau
hills in Briiish East Agrica, and the
200 native followers are joining with
the Americans in celebrating the un-
usually good luck.
Colonel Roosevelt's gun brought
three of them to earth, each on the
first shot. Thus one of the president's
fondest ambitions has been realized,
and he is proud, too, that the fourth of
the jungle kings fell before the rifle
of his son Kermit, who, however, took
three shots to kill his quarry.
Both father and son are jubilant. It
was their first lion hunt, and so mag-
nificent a kill was far beyond their
expectations.
The caravan started Thursday from
the ranch of Sir Alfred Pease, on the
Athi river, and proceeded slowly to
the Mau hiils. This range is open for
wide areas, but in places is covered
with dense growths, where game is
plentiful. The first night in camp was
without especial incident, no attempt
being made to go after lions, although
their call wes heard now and then. At
dawn the camp was astir, and the
drive speedily organized.
The native beaters set out in all
directions, under the instruction of the
“headman,” armed with all sorts of
noise-making devices, which could not
fail to arouse any game within ear
shot. Some of the beats proved blanks,
but by nightfall no fewer than tem
kinds of ga:ne had been bagged.
Kermit, during the greater part of
the day, did more effective work with
his camera than he did with his gun,
he and other members of the party al-
lowing Mr. Roosevelt the much-prized
shots.
All of the lions were or normal size,
and after the natives had dragged
them together in the grass, they ex.
ecuted the usual dance around the
trophies.
Storm Left Trail of Death.
An epidemic of cyclones and torna-
does, the like of which has not been
known for many years, swept through
the south, leaving in their wake scores
of dead and manled bodies and the
dismantled wrecks of property worth
many millions.
The state of Tennessee was an es-
pecially heavy sufferer. Careful es-
timates indicate that at least fifty
people were killed in the Volunteer
state alone, while the loss in dollars
and cents will not fall short of a mill
jon. At Fayetteville, Franklin and
Hillsboro there was loss of life. The
latter town is said to be practically
destroyed, while at Centerville and ad-
joining villages the damage is reported
very heavy both in lives and property.
Near Pulaski, in Giles county, the
death list reached twelve, and many
were injured.
At Cuba many houses were blown
down, and at Gilestown not even a
shed was left standing. No fatalities
were reported from either place, but
information is very meagre.
At Horn lake, Miss. half a dozen
lives were lost, and the property dam-
age was very heavy. From neighbor
ing towns come tales of men, women
and children killed and homes
wrecked.
The tornado swept over into Arkan-
sas and killed eight persons mnear
Monmouth Springs, besides wreck-
ing a score of buildings. Other points
in Arkansas report heavy loss.
Coal Committees Sign Agreement.
Peace between the mine workers
and the operators in the anthracite
coal regions of Pennsylvania is assur-
ed tor anot! er period of three years.
The agreement continuing in force
until March 31, 1912, the awards of
the anthracite coal strike commission
was signed in the board room of the
Reading company in Philadelphia
by the committee of seven on bebalf
of the mine owners and a similar com-
mittee representing the workers. With
the exception of five added stipula-
tions suggested by the miners, the
agreement is identical with the one
signed in New York three years ago.
The mine workers’ union is not offi-
cially recognized, the members of the
miners’ committee simply signing the
agreement “on behalf of the represen-
tatives of the anthracite mine work-
ers.” The conference was a harmon-
fous affair and ended with “everybody
happy,” as one of the committeemen
expressed it.

Teeth Worth $1000 Each.
A jury in the state supreme court

teeth. On August 28, 1806, after Cros

Powder Explosion Kills Four.
Four men were killed and four oth-
ers seriously injured by an explosion
in the glycerine packing house of the
Potts Powder company, at Reynolds,
near Tamaqua, Pa.
The dead are: John Applegate, of
Lakeside; Joseph Durst, of Tamaqua;
J. M. Rumble, of Hecla, and W. A.
Stevens, of Chain.
The force of the explosion was felt
in Pottsville, but it was some time be-
fore it could be located. The bodies
of the dead men were fearfully man- | to the decision of the
gled, Applegate's head being found a
considerable distance away from the
plant, having been blown from his
body.
Found Thirty-two Skeletens.
Twenty-nine more skeletons were
discovered by workmen while exca
vating for the new Sage dormitery at
Princeton nniversity. This makes a
total of thirty-two bodies, which are
now thought to be those of Colonial
residents. Inasmuch as the ground | ¢ii0.6c
was at one time a private burial
ground extant records are scant. The
grave of Nathaniel Fitz Randolph, the
benefactor of the college, however, has
been definitely located, and it has not
yet been determined whether it will
be necessary to disturb it.
