WHY THEY WERJJ THANKFUL.
The Homo for the Frlondlcss will have
a happy ThnnkKBlvIng day as tho result
of tho kindly thought of many friends
nmong tho echool children. Yesterday
from No, 23 school a largo wagon load
of provlMoiiR was received as tho contri
bution from Miss Moffntt's room, whllo
u huge dray load came from tho othct
rooms of that building, From No. 38 was
sent another big wagon load and a box
containing clgl-ty-thrco cons of fruit and
vegetables, beside W.9J In cash. How
gratefully theso bountiful gifts aro re
lelved can srarcely bo expressed by the
inanagcmcnt. J. 0. Warner contributed
tho curtngo for these donations.
Tho School of thu Lackawanna, nc
cording to a beaiitltul custom observed
In that Institution, made a collection of
gifts yesterday for Olstrlhutlon amon,j
tho poor. This was tho occasion of a
scene not on tho bill which attrncted
tho IndlWdual attention of tho populace
In that locality. It Included a small boy
and a roosc, Tho boy was Carlcton. the
10-year-old son of J. L. Conncll, and
grandson of Congressman William Cou
ncil. Tho goose was n big gray bipod
with n broad pink ribbon lied Jauntily
nbout Its neck. It wns held tennclously
under the lad's arm f.nd he was followed
by a procession of school boys and girls,
the volume of which had swelled to an
urmy before reaching Jefferson avenue.
The goose made a i, ligation upon Its ar
rival and no doubt tho hlstoiy of Its
further peregrinations to the fortunate
home of Its dcstlnntlcii would be of In
terest. Owing to the liberal donations irom
pnrishloners and priests, the largest Mn
gp contribution being from tho Spooncr
Drnmntlo company now playing In this
city, the committed of tho Women's
guild was enabled to send out between
forty and fifty bags of poultry nnd pro
visions from St. Luke's parish house to
as many families whose Thanksgiving
day will thus bo brightened.
A Fmall boy on tho hill asked his
mother yesterday If It wouldn't bo a good
thing to bo thnnkful today thnt they
didn't hac a water meter as well as a
gnu meter In their house, nnd his
mother wns of the opinion that It would.
This is a reminder of an Incident at the
doll show tho other day when some ono
wns sent next door to a livery stable
for n small pall of water for the flvo
o'clock tea. "So sorry," said tho stable
man, politely, "but we've got a meter
now and wo can't lend any water."

SIX PERSONS
KILLED IN
A WRECK
Concluded from Pago 1.
ten feet of the front end of the day
coach. The second last car Is the one
In which tho kilted were.
Tho cxpicss wns made up of a com
bination express and baggage, chnlr
car, sleeper, buffet car, two day
coaches and a smoker.
Tho Buffalo express was In
charge of Conductor Capwell. The
Phllllpsburg train was In charge of
Conductor Huike and Engineer Hjear
doii. DID NOT SEE .EXPRESS.
Apparently tho engineer of tho Phll
llpsburg accommodation did not no
tice that the express drew up some
300 feet west of the depot. Tho express
was seventeen minutes late and the ac
commodation was following very close
ly. When Engineer Reardon saw tho
lights ahead tho distance was too short
to avoid a collision. His train wns
going at full speed.
The engine plunged Into the rear
car of the express, a day coach, and
ploughed through the heavy timbers
almost Its entire length. This car was
lifted from thu track and pushed to
the next to the last car, also a Pull
man, carrying off Its end and almost
completely telescoping It.
The engine of the Phllllpsburg trnln
was torn to pieces. The wreckage
caught lire, but the llames were soon
extinguished.
Within a few moments police re
serves, firemen and great crowds of
people came to the rescue of those In
the terrible tangle of wood and Iron.
From the wreck came groans and
slulcks and prayers for death or de
liverance. It was Intensely dark at
the scene, nnd as the broken wood
was taken out of the wreck It was
thrown to the sides of tho tracks,
where It was set on lire to furnish light
for the rescuers.
The firemen, police, train hands and
several score of citizens turned in to
rip the fearful pile to pieces. It was
desirable to diuw the engine out, but
this could not be d me, because It
would result in death to some of those
Imprisoned In the debris.
HANGING FROM WINDOW.
Before tho wreckage was attacked
there was the body of a man hanging
half way out of one of the rear win
dows on ono side and a woman hang
ing from a window on tho other side.
Doth were In rear s.ats, and when
the telescoping occurred their mnngled
bodies were crushed through the win
dows nnd hung between tho sides of
the car and the engine. The rescuers
took men nnd women out of the wreck
age In rapid succession, and they wen
hurried nway to the hospital. In many
cases it was noeesrary to chop away
the wreckage about the Injured In or
der to get them out.
One man was found standing up, his
head in a corner, held fast by the
wreckage which had piled nboulhlm.
Ho was tnken out unconscious and It
wns thought he wns dead, but he re
vived and proved to be but slightly
lnjuied.
Lizzie Kane, of Blnghamton, N. Y.,
was found with her feet held fast be
tween two heavy beams. Tho remain
der of her body was clear, but she,
had to He there suffering great agony
while the men were trying to get her
out by digging through a heavy mass
"" broken wood nnd lion to free the
upper beam.
Agnes McDonald, of Oxford, N. Y.,
was taken out with great difficulty.
Her legs were fearfully crushed. She
suffered terrible agony during the half
hour It took to cut and free her.
David Roe. who Is In the hospital
with his right leg badly crushed, be
came frantic when he found his wife
was not In the hospital. He believed
she was killed, but he was not told so.
The Whites, father and son, were
found with their arms about each oth
er. The son's leg Is broken, while the
father Is badly bruised and his face
and hands cut by flying glass.
LEONARD ON TRAIN.
Frank J. Leonard, of the firm of
Leonard Brothers, tobacco manufac
turers, of Scranton, had his hand pain
fully bruised, but was able to assist
In getting out the Injured. He went
on to Now York and had his hand
dressed at tho Westminster hotel.
One of the dend men Is said to be
Miller Craig, who is connected with the
New York Tribune. A book found on
his person would Indicate this, although
tho identification Is not complete.
Inquiries came from Scranton for
Alex. Craig, manager of the Scrantoi
Tribune, who with his wife and two
daughters are known to have left for
New York on the wrecked train.

STORIES OF EYE WITNESSES.
Told by Persons Who Returned to
This City Last Night.
Louis Friedman, tho Penn nvonuo bird
denier, who was Injured In tho wreck,
arrived In this cMy nt about 2.40 this
morning on the train due at 1 n. m.
Mr. Frledmnn was Injured about tho
legs, though not severely, ho having
been In tho next to the last car. Ho
was very much excited and was un
able to give a connected story of tho
accident. He wns removed to his home
on Penn avenue and medical aid wa
summoned
T. II. Groves, of this city, a passen
ger on tho westbound train, which ar
rived at the scene of the wreck about
two minutes after It happened, also
arrived this morning on the same train
as Mr. Friedman. Mr, Oroves assisted
In tho removal of the dead and Injured
from the debris. He said the scene,
was horrible beyond descilptlon. He
saw eight bodies altogether, flvo men,
two women and a little girl about 13
years old.
The body of one of tho women nnd
thnt of the little girl were found side
by side, and the general Impression
prevailed that they were mother and
child.
Ho described, In particular, tho man
ner in which one of thp men's bodies
was found. Tho man was standing, he
said, with his hands outstretched
egalnst ono of the windows In the rear
of the train, an If making a futile effort
to escape. The ear had burned at this
end and tho clothing and visible por
tions of the body wero charred beyond
recognition.
Charles R, Connell. fcecretary and
treasurer of the Lackawanna mills,
who was a passenger on Trnln 7 was
seen up his arrival here and said:,
"Our train wns standing at the Pat
erson station nnd had Just started to
pull out, I Imagine, when the wreck
occurred, for we did not hear a crash,
the puffing of our engine drowning tho
noise of tho collision. Our train came
to a sudden stop and when we hurried
to see what tho trouble was an appall
ing sight met our eyes.
"The last two cars of the express
train on the opposite track were tele
scoped and the shrieks of the dying
and Injured were terrible to hear.
"A woman nnd man wero pinned
against the side of the second Inst car
nearest our train and both of them
dad. In a very brief time the police
patrols, ambulances and fire wagons
arrived nnd began the work of getting
out the dead and Injured, the passen
gers assisting. The west-bound track
was cleared in nbout forty minutes nnd
wo were whisked on past the wreck."
THE WORK OF RESCUE.
Herculean Tasks Performed by a
Strapping Mormon.
New York, Nov. 29. Rev. C. S. Bul
lock, of Chicago, a passenger on tho
Buffalo express led the rescue work.
He was sitting in the parlor car,
which was hitched on the forward part
of the train, talking to Auditor Bridge
man, of the Lackawanna road, also a
passenser of the car, when the crash
came. Queerly enough they wero dis
cussing railroad accidents at the very
time thev wero both thrown to the
floor of the car by the shock of the
collision.
Rev. Mr. Bullock ran out and took
In the appalling situation at a glance.
He ran back Into the parlor car and
seized an axe. He told the other men
passengers to get axes and crowbars
and to get to work, as lives depended
upon quick action.
A big strapping Mormon who during
the run from Buffalo, had told the pas
sengers that he was a great fiiend of
Congressman-elect Roberts, set to work
like a Trojan, and while others chopped
on the root of the car and found thf
shrieking men nnd women, the Mor
mon got Into the body of the car with
a crow bar and pried up the twisted
and heavy Iron work off seat after
seat and pulled the maimed and
wounded men and children out. He
had astonishing strength and did tho
work of four men,
Those who were chopping through
the root of the car nnd freeing the
victims ui there were treated to a piece
of snlendld courage, when they came
to Sterling S. Smith, a Cornell stu
dent nnd a nephew of General Joe
Wheeler. The boy lives In Brooklyn
nnd was going to Philadelphia today
to see the football game between Cor
nell and the University of Pennsylva
nia. His right leg was terribly man
gled and Jammed between heavy lion
and woodwork, but he was conscious
when the rescuers reached him.
"Don't bother nbout me," he yelleJ
to the rescuers. "There are women
b'elow me. Get them out, I can wait a
while. My leg Is broken see it wiggle,"
and the vouth triad to smile.
One of tho rescuers said ns he
chopped away:
"You're a bravo young chap."
"I don't know about that," said
Smith calmly, "hut my mother Is n
sister of General Joe Wheeler, and I
guess I've got the right stuff In me."
The leg which he referred to ns brok
en was mashed Into a shapeless mass
and It "wiggled" because the bones
were splintered and It was hanging
simply by shreds of flesh and torn
tissues.
At the hospital later tho doctors
made Immediate preparations to ampu
tate It.

TERRIBLE CRIME
OF JOHN LUTZ
STRUCK HIS WIFE WITH AXE
WHILE SHE SLEPT.
Ho Then Made nn Unsuccessful At
tempt to End His Own Life Mrs.
Lutz Cannot Recover from the Ter
rible Injuries Sho Received It Is
Supposed That Lutz Was of Un
sound Mind Said to Have Been
Jealous of His Wife Without Cause.
The quiet vlllnge of West Plttston
was the scene of n most shocking trag
edy Tuesday evening, when John Lutz
made n probably successful attempt
to kill his wife with an axe nnd then
tried to commit suicide.
The scene of the crime Is a two
story frame building at tho corner of
Montgomery and Franklin streets.
Here John Lutz, aged about 39 years,
employed as an nssistant firemen at
the Exeter colliery, his wife, Mrs. Au
gusta Schriebler Lutz, and live chil
dren, the eldest of whom Is nbout thir
teen years of age and tho youngest
about 2 years old, lived a life hat
was not quite as peaceful as It should
bo.
Lutz, It Is said, was somewhat ad
dicted to the liquor habit and while
slightly under Its Influence ho acted
very queerly, giving the Impression
thnt his mind was not evenly balance 1,
and this Impression Is augmented by
the fact that his father was at one
time confined In Danville nsylum and
his mother was at times not mentally
sound.
Lutz was also of a very Jealous dis
position nnd wns under the Impression
that different men were paying atten.
tlons to Mrs. Lutz in his absence, even
going so far at times as to InsIU
that tho curtains on the windows
should be raised to their full height,
so as he came near the house ho could
see whether any men were there oro
not. The neighbors, however, say that
Mrs. Lutz was a very Industrious wo
man nnd was perfectly innocent of tho
accusations of her husband. Although
at times Lutz threatened to abuse his
wife he Is not known to havo threat
ened her life.
STORY OF THE CRIME.
The deed wns commlttted at 10.30
o'clock Tuesday night and the only In
formation as to tho events leading up
to the affair Is obtained from the chil
dren. A Tribune man had a talk with Hen
rietta Lutz, the only daughter, aged
about 11 years, who was asleep In a
bed with her mother. Her story Is sub
stantially as follows: Mr. Lutz had
been working yesterday and came
home for supper at the usual hour.
After supper the discussion of family
matters led up to an argument which
resulted In Mr. Lutz leaving the house
In somewhat of a temper. He returned
shortly nfterward. He requested his
daughter to play the organ for him.
She was tired and sleepy and didn't
care to do It.
Lutz reprimanded her ,and Mrs. Lutz
took the girl's part. Shortly after
ward the children were taken up stairs
to bed by their mother. Lutz remark
ed when ho came Into the house that
If his wife didn't have breakfast ready
for him in the morning, the next day
would bo an unhappy ono for them."
Two of the children slept In one bod
room and Henrietta, the daughter,
slept In another roonr'in which tho
baby slept In a crib. Mrs. Lutz took
off her shoes and, with her clothes on,
laid down on the bed alongside of
Henrietta, the husband being as yet
downstairs. Later Henrietta was
awakened by the crying of the baby,
and as she raised herself to a sitting
position sho placed her hand In a
pool of blood in Hie bed. She hear!
footsteps In the hall and then heard
something like an axe drop In another
room, and her father got Into bed.
Her mother had uttered no scream, but
was moaning.
Through fear of her father tho girl
said nothing for a few minutes. Flnnl
ly by tho dlnY rays of a light In the
hallway she saw blood flowing from a
cut on her mother's ear. She called
to her brother who Immediately arose,
and In coming to her aid passed tho
room In which was the bed where the
father lay, an axe by his s'de nnd a
pocketknlfe on the floor. Hurrying to
his mother's room he saw the condition
she was in and ran out for n police
officer, who Immediately sent for doc
tors, nnd rushed to tho scene.
A ghastly sight met the gaze of the
nlivslclans ns they entered the room
In which was Mrs. Lutz. She' lay on
the edge of tho bed. a big pool of blood
on the floor, the pillow nnd bedclothes
alt soaked with the life-giving ele
ment and the wall at the head of the
bed bespattered with blood. The
young girl In the meantime had arisen
and. taking tho babe from the crib,
went hack Into bed and wns seated In
the blood, with the babe In her arms,
alongside her bleeding mother. An
examination showed tho woman to be
In a horrible state. Sho had two ugly
gashes on the right side of the head,
her ear wasplit and there was a deep
cut between the first nnd second fin
gers. No one saw the deed committed, but
