Two Bodies of Spier Ferry Vic
tims Recovered.

Trade Pope's Jubilee Glass Blow
ing Machinery Extra Session of th)
Senate Spectator at Fire Killed
Only two bodies of tho victims oi
the Spier Falls tragedy of Saturday
have been recovered, those of Free
Ferron and Pasquale Caferelll.
Two of the 16 men not accounted foi
Saturday night have turned up anc
the latest information given out by the
ofliclula of the company fixes the num
ber of deid and missing at 17.
Tho accident happened as the met
were going to work early Saturdaj
morning. Spier Falls is 10 miles wesi
of Glens Falls on the Hudson rivet
and over l.oOO men are employed there
at present in the construction of the
mammoth power dam of the Hudsoi
River Power company.
Seventy or 80 men got aboard a ferrj
boat. TYe ferryman, Arthur Cran
nell, stopped more from getting on anc
the boat started, leaving a big crowc
on the bank watching. When 80 fee'
from shore the water splashed agalnsi
the rail and a boy made a gra'u at one
of the tackle ropes which ran from the
overhead cable to the stern of tin
boat.
Some of the men started toward
him presumably to prevent him front
falling Into the river. The weight was
thus thrown Into the upstream side ol
the boat and it instantly careened anc
filled.
Those on shore say that they saw
the boat Up and the next moment the
men were In the river. The Hudson
swollen by the freshet, bore the strug
gling mass of men down the stream
Many of thera succeeded In grabbing
the side of the boat, which had righted
and hung on until It wa.s pulled nshore
Rioting and Morder at Waterbury,
Violence In worst form has broken
out anew in Waterbury as a result ol
the high feeling In connection with the
strike of the molormen and eonduc-
tors of the Connecticut Railway and
Lighting company.
This time It Is murder and. Super-
nuruery Policeman Paul Mendelsohn it
the victim. John W. Chambers, a non
union motornmn, is shot and his con
ductor, George Weberndorfer, wai
pounded almost Into Insensibility.
The scene of the crime ww at Forest
Park, the terminus of the North Main
sticet lino. As the car was about to
start on the return trip eight masked
men sprung out of the bushes by the
icadslde, entered the car and dis
charged their revolvers. Mendelsohn
fell deail at tho first report.
The motorman was pounded over the
head with tho butt end of a revolver.
He ran from the car and hid In a near
by swamp and thus eluded the men
who pursued him. The conductor was
thrown to the floor of the car and
pounded and kicked until he was al
most unconscious. . The men then left
the car and disappeared, the struggle
having lasted 10 minutes.
Looking For Burdick Murderer.
Exploded theories and vanishing
clows do not discourage the authori
ties of Buffalo, who are working on
the Burdick murder case. They have
turned with dogged determination to
establish the identity of the lone wo
man met on Ashland avenue by Patrol
man Meyer, and to establish. If pos
slble, some connection hetween her and
the woman taken to the vlcViky of the
Burdick home by Cabman Joey, on tho
night of the murder, and the one who
lost her way near there. If they can
prove that they are one and the same
person they believe they will have thfi
woman who killed Burdick. If It turns
out that they were different persons
they believe one of the three will be
the right person.
Marion W. Hutchinson, a young wo
man formerly employed in Burdlck'i
office, was taken to police headquar
ters by a detail of detectives at an
early hour Saturday. She was not un
der arrest, the police say. Her attor
ney says she was.
After being detained for five hojre
she was released and allowed to gc
free, for the sufficient reason that the
police could find absolutely nothing
against her.
Business Ahead of Last Year.
Business is ahead of last year and

brated Tuesday with all the grandeui
and Impresslveness associated wltl
the high ceremonies of the Catholic
Church and amid a display of enthus
asm and emotion on the part of the
vast assemblage gathered within the
walls of St. Peter's such as vied wltt
the greatest of previous demonstra
Hons of reverence and affection for the
aged pontiff.
The ceremony at St. Peter's cafhe
dral lasted two hours and a quarter
and although it was noticeable that
Pope Leo felt the effects of his recent
cold, all were surprised to see how
well he seemed. His voice was strong
his gestures vigorous, and the frantic
cheering which greeted his arrival and
departure gave him visible pleasure
and brought a faint tinge of color tc
his face.

22 LIVES BURNED OUT.
Vwful Accident From Burning
Cars Near Olean.
Took Fire aid Series of Explosioni
Occurred Scores of Spectators Wen
Caught Near the Spreading Fire
Many Bodies Incinerated Doctor
Summoned From Olean.
Olean, N. Y., Match 10. A score 01
more of people were killed and I
larger number were Injured by an ex
plosion cf oil near here last night.
A freight train on the Erie, made hi
principally cf tank cars filled with oil
broke in two north of the city at about
9 o'clock. The two sections of the
train came togeb'.ier with a cras-h. and
one of the oil tanks was demolished
Fire broke out almost Instantly and
the sky was lighted up for miles. A
large crowd of people left this city foi
the scene of the fire.
Wthile they were lined up along the
tracks a terrific explosion occurred
The flames communicated quickly wilt
the other tank cars and a second and
third explosion followed each other In
rapid succession. Sheets of flame:
shot out In all directions.
Scores of persons were caught with
in the zone of the fire and enveloped
In flames. Men and boys ran scream
Ing down the tracks with their cloth
ing a mass of flames. Others fell where
they stood, overcome by the awful
(.eat
Just how many were killed la not
known, as many of the bodies were
Incinerated.
Sydney Fish, a prominent business
man of the city, returned from the
scene of the fire at midnight. He
said: "I was attracted to the scene ol
the fire between 9:30 and 10 o'clock
Wflren I was within a quarter of a mile
of the wrecked train there was a ter
rific explosion. Flames shot outwards
and upwards for a great distance.
"I saw several persons who started
to run away drop on the railroad tracks
and they never moved again. Others
who had 'been standing close to the
wreckage were hurled through the air
for hundreds of feet. The s-'eno was
awful.
"Half a dozen young hoys ran down
the tracks with their clothing on fire.
They resembled human torches. 1
could hear their agoni.ed screams dis
tinctly from where I stood. They ran
some distance down the track and then
threw themselves to the ground, grov
elilng In the ditches in their frantic
efforts to extinguish the flames. Then
they laid still, some of them uncon
scious, others dead. I don't know how
many were killed, but I counted 20
bodies before I came away."
Word was at once sent to Olean po
lice headquarters by telephone. Every
doctor and ambulance in the city was
summoned. Grocery wagons and car
riages of all kinds were pressed into
service and everything possible was
dome to bring the wounded without
delay to the elty hospital for treat
ment." At midnight the first of the wounded
arrived at the hospital. They were
four young boys. Their injuries were
frightful. Great patchies of flesh were
burned off and 'hung In shreds from
their bodies.
A report from the scene of the acci
dent says 22 bodies have been taken
from the wreckage. Some of them
are burned beyond recognition, only
the trunks and skulls remaining.
It will he difficult to ascertain the
names of a great many of the dead ai
their bodies were burned to ashes In
the Intense heat. A canvass Is being
made of the city as rapidly as possible
to find out the names of the persons
who are missing.
As these missing persons turn up, It
they do, their names will be eliminated
and In the end a complete list of those
who lost their lives will be secured.
But this will take time and patience.
Besides, there was great excitement In
tho city and the streets were thronged
with people until long after mldnlgfit.
Large crowds gathered at the hos
pital and the faces of the injured were
anxiously scanned as they were borne
into the building on stretchers
Heartrending scenes were witnessed
when one of the poor, blistered bodies
was recognized by a father or a mother
or a brother and It was wluh difficulty
that the people were restrained from
Invading the operating room.
The latest estimate of the casualties
places the number of dead at 22 and
the Injured at 45. Some of the In
jured will die.
