COLLISION ON CENTRAL
Engineer and Fireman of Fast
Mail Killed.
Panlo In Factory Recovery of Stolen
Jewelry Trade Condition Deaths
of Congressman Cummings and
Potter Palmer Nervous About
Succession.
New York Central fast moll No. 3,
Westbound, collided with a fast freight
Koing In the opposite direction, a quar
ter mile west of the station at Clyde,
N. Y., on Friday, killing the englneet
and fireman of the mail and seriously
Injuring 13 mall clerks.
The fast freight was going east on
track No. 1 but crossed over to No. 2
to permit an eastbound passenger
train to pass. When It started to cross
back the mall approached at a speed
of 50 miles an hour, and before Its
speed could be checked the two en
gines collided. Thoy were torn to
pieces and hurled Into the air by the
force of the Impact. The first mull
car and six freight cars were crushed
to pieces nnd the other cars of both
trains badly damaged.
The tower man did not Bee the
freight crossing and gave the mail a
clear track. It Is said that the freight
crew should have waited for the mall
to pass knowing that It was due.
Factory Girls Killed In Panic.
An unfortunate accident to a deal
and dumb youth, lsador Liaccus,
at Philadelphia, was Indirectly re
sponsible for the death of eight
girls and young women, the fatal in
jury of three others and the serious
Injury of more than two score more,
all employed In the cigar factory ot
Harbitrger, 1 Ionian & company, a
branch of the American Tobacco com
pany, at loth street and Washington
avenue.
Bacons, who was janitor, went aftnr
a ball of twine on an upper floor and
pulled the rope of an elevator to bring
the elevator down so that he could
ascend. The elevator descended slow
ly, accidentally pinioning his head
between the elevator and the lioor.
A stock boy released him and cried
for help.
The foreman ran from the building
to call an ambulance and immediately
there was a panic among the em
ployees. Some of the younger girls
fainted while others cried fire. In
stantly there was a mad rush for a
narrow stairway leading Into 10th
street. Some fell, others tripped
over them and In less than a minute
there were hundreds of children nn1
young women struggling in the pas
sage way. Their screams could be
heard for a block or more.
Ambulances and patrol wagons were
speedily put to use.
At nearly every window of the
structure were girls crying for help.
In half an hour, however, the panic
was over. It was some time before an
Intelligent Idea of the disaster could
be had and It was three hours after
the accident occurred before a single
victim was identified.
Recovery of Stolen Jewelry.
Fifty thousand dollars worth of Jew
elry consisting of 13 pieces set with
over 100 diamonds, more thnn 400

night. They were hidden In the house

ler who hns worked for Mr. Steers for
11 years, was arrested. The police
say he confessed the theft. Joseph
Walker, a truckman, was also arrest
ed. Detectives suspected the butler
and since the robbery have been
watrhlng the house .
A truckman drove up to the Steers
home with an ash cart. He went to
the basement and came out with an
old band box which he threw Into the
ash cart, but the detectives observed
that It was put into the corner near
the seat. The man was followed by
the detectives and arrested in a sa
loon where he had opened the band
box and taken out the jewels.
Itranagan was arrested shortly after
wards. Mr. and Mrs. Steers were overjoyed
at the recovery of the Jewels and Im
mensely surprised to learn that the
gems had been under the coal In the
cellar.

right.
