Thirteen Hurt In Crash.
Pittsburg, Pa.—<The Atlantic Ex-
press, No. 8, eastbound on the Penne
gylvania Railroad, was wrecked a few
minutes after it had left the Union
Station. A majority of the passen-
gers on two Pullman cars were in-
jured---13 so seriously as to require
medical attention. The wreck was
caused by either a frozen switch or
a too hasty throwing of the switch,
it is sald, with the result that two
Pullman cars were thrown from the
tracks and were sidewiped by two
express cars.
Burned To Death,
‘Boston (8pecial).—~Three persons
were burned to death and another in
Jured during a fire here. When dis-
covered the fire had filled the block
with smoke. Several men passing,
among whom was John Hurley, a
former Harvard football player, kept
the men at the windows from jump-
Ing until a blanket had been secured.
Peter Joubert jumped into the
blanket, which gave way and his leg
was broken by striking the pavement.
