It had been expected thnt Sullivan would reach the final, but Buxton won on his merits. The Huntingdon Valley man showed much better Judgment than his opponent. Time and again Sullivan misjudged distances, and it frequently led him into trouble. Buxton's approach shots and putting were extremely accurate, and It was In this department of the game that he completely outplayed his opponent. B, W. Estabrook, the second of the Bos tonlans, succumbed to U M. Washburn, of Merlon, but only on the 18th hole. The match was the best contested of the' morning, and Washburn deserved, np lit tle credit, for at one stage of the match he was -four down. II, U.

Ten men were killed at 1:15 o'clock this morning and six others were injured, when a speeding Philadelphia and Read ing Hallway express train ran through a gang of GO workmen in the Phoenix- vllle tunnel. Seven of tho deaiU-swer, In n' fow hours. More deaths are ex pected'. The train was due to arrive at Philadel phia at 8:07 o'clock. There was a panic among tho passengers, who feared asphyxiation fror. the heavy gas in the tunnel. A section train, in charge of James Kenny, had Just pulled Into tho tunnel with the gang of workmen, most of whom were foreigners, and the smoke from the engine had not cleared away when the express train, which was nearlng Phoenixvllle, came rushing into the tun nel. The smoke obscured the view of the workmen, who by that time had left tho Bectlon train and were walking through the tunnel to the scene of their work. The workmen heard the noise of the train, became contused and stampeded. The train plowed into the ranks of the workmen. Six ot the men, all foreigners, were taken from tho tunnel dead. They lay for some time at the Heading station at Phoenixvllle. Ten others, badly Injured, were taken to the Phoenixvllle Hospital, where one man died shortly after being admitted. All the dead are foreigners 'from Bridgeport., opposite Norrjstown., Among those Injured, not foreigners, are James Kinney, foreman of the section gang, and Wallace J, Zimmerman, of Mahanoy City, who was in general charge of the work In the tunnel, Moru deaths are expected at the hos pital. Doctors from Phoenixvllle and the surrounding country gave their serv ices to relieve the Injured. The section .gang had been working at widening the tunnel tor more than two weeks. As far' as can be learned, no passen gers were Injured In the panic that fol lowed the accident. The trainmen con ducted those In the rear cars to the front of the train, which was outside the tun nel, so that none would be affected by th heavy gas, Just about a year ago, on September 22, the engineer and conductor of a Pottsvlllo express train were asphyxiated In the tunnel, where the train had stopped after striking a woman. She had at tempted to cross tie tracks near the en trance to the tunnel. After making an investigation, the Coroner at that time said the engineer and conductor wero killed by coal gas, which had been generated By the engine.
