Wreck of the 20th Century Limited
Running tit the rate of 60 miles an
hour, the 20th Century Limited on the
Lake Shore railroad dashed Into an
pen switch ut the passenger station
at Mentor, O., shortly before 10 o'clock
Wednesday night.
Nineteen persons were killed and 12
others slightly Injured. The comblna-
Hon baggage and smoking car and the
coach behind it caught lire and were
destroyed.
The train waB eastbound, having left
Cleveland about 9 o'clock, and as it
does not stop there it was running at
great speed. The engineer did not
notice the open switch until the train
struck it. The engine loft the rails
nnd plowed Into the ground, tearing up
the track for yards.
The two coaches following It Jam
med into It with great force and were
crushed, the fire from the engine
setting them t blaze.
It is still maintained by railroad
officers that tho switch was thrown
open and locked by some person,
either a maniac or some one seeking
revenge. It is still unknown to the
police who this person is.
A careful examination of the switch
showed that it was in perfect condi
tion. Detectives nre working on the
case. Trainmen are of the opinion
that the engineer of the 20th Century
Limited was deceived by the light of a
switch Just beyond tho open switch,
the light of which is said to have
been out.
18-Hour Schedule Restored.
The following announcement was
made by President W. H. Newman of
the New York Central railroad:
"The rigid investigation of the
wreck on the Lake Shore road at
Mentor, O., which has been made by
the officials of the Lake Shore com
pany and by the state railway commis
sioner of Ohio, who with tho chief In
spector of railways for the state made
a personal Investigation at the scene
of the accident, having shown con
clusively that the accident was not
caused by the speed of the train, It is
now decided unnecessary to longer
continue the slower schedule of the
20th Century train, the time of which
was lengthened pending a thorough
Investigation of the cause of the acci
dent "Its schedule of 18 hours between
New York and Chicago will be re
sumed Monday, the 2Gth."
Accident Companies Badly Hit.
The wreck of the 20th Century Lim
ited at Mentor, cost the Hartford in
Biiranca companies about $175,000. The
Travelers' Insurance company had $9,
000 accident Insurance on persons
killed and $33,000 life; the Aetna Life
had a $20,000 accident policy on C. E.
Wellman, who was killed. It pays
double In case of railroad nccldent
Other companies had about $10,000 ac
cHrnt and life Instiranco on persons
killed, whllo small claims are still to
be heard from.
Referred to Attorney General.
. The report of Superintendent Fran
cis Hendricks of the state insurance
department to Governor Hlgglns upon
his Investigation of the Equitable Lit'!
Assurance society has been made puo
lie. . .
It is described In the title as a "pre
liminary report," nnd it is decidedly
critical of the management of the so
ciety as well as of the new trust ar
rangement for voting the stock agreed
upon by Messrs. Thomas F. Ryan and
tho three trustees designated by him.
In the conclusion of his report he
says:
"No superficial measures will cor
rect the existing evils in this society.
A cancer cannot be cured by treating
the symptoms. Complete mutualiza
tlon with the elimination of the stock,
to be paid for at a price only commen
surate with, its dividends, Is in my
opinion the only sure measure of re
lief. "This report with a copy of the evi
dence taken on this investigation will
to transmitted to the attorney general
for such action thereon as he may
deem proper."
Third Reprieve For Mrs. Rogers.
A reprieve until Dec. 8 for Mrs.
Mary M. Rogers, the condemned mur
deress, was signed by Governor C. 3.
Hell, and for the third time tho woman
who was to have been hanged at Wind
sor, Vt., for killing her husband has
ur-cu saved through the operation of
the governor's power of staying the
axecutlon.
The reprieve was granted In order
that the rase may be carried to the
supreme court of the United States on
constitutional questions which were
raised at. a hearing before Judge Hoyt
II. Wheeler, silting as n Justice of tho
United Slates circuit, court. Mrs.
Rogers' attorneys petitioned for her
release on a writ of habeas corpus.
The court declined to grant tho pe
tition, but suggested that tho points of
law raised by the petitioners were
such as to be passed upon by tho su
preme court of the country.
Colored Boy Won Scholarship.
Henry Arthur Callis of Blnguam
ttm, N. Y., the first colored boy ever
graduated from tho Bingharnton high
school, a member of this year's class,
has won the Cornell scholarship from
the county, haviug a higher standing
in tho recent examinations for that
honor than any of his numerous white
competitors.
Military Stormed Barricades.
According to advices received at St
Petersburg, the situation In Po
land is again exceedingly seri
ous. Censored dispatches from Lodz,
though giving few details. Indicate
that fierce street fighting was in pro
gress on Friday between the military
and the striking workmen, who barri'
coded the thoroughfares In various
quarters of the city and offered resist
ance which the troops met with vol-
Joys.
Lodz has been In a turmoil for the
past three days. Tho strike which em
braces 60.000 workers appears to have
entirely lost Its economic nature and
is now a vast political manifestation.
It Is reported that several hundred
workmen nnd CO soldiers were killed
Friday.
Russian Plenipotentiaries.
It is reported unofficially that Presl
dent Roosevelt has been Informed by
Mr. Meyer, the American ambassador
at St. Petersburg, of tho selection of
tho Russian peace plenipotentiaries.
The exact date proposed for the
meeting of peace conference has not
been ascertained, but there is reason
to suppose that it Is some time dur
ing the first week or 10 days of Au
gust, which is about the earliest pep.
iod In which the Japanese representa
tives can be expected to reach Wash
ington, allowing reasonable time for
the acceptance of the proposal and the
interchange of the nomination of plea
Ipotentlailes. Better Treatment of Chinese.
Dy direction of President Roosevelt,
action has been taken by the admin
istration that will facilitate the land
ing in this country of Chinese of the
exempt classes, and also will eliminate
from tho Immigration bureau such ad
ministrative features as have been the
subject of criticism by Chinese.
Representations have been made to
the president that, in view of alleged
harsh treatment accorded to many
Chineso seeking a landing In the
United States, the commercial guilds
of China have determined to Institute
a boycott on American manufactures.
It is anticipated that the prompt ac
tion taken by this government to meet
the objections made by the Chinese
will eliminate the possibility of serious
trade difficulties between China and
the manufacturers of this country,
Immigration Record Breaker.
Immigrants are pouring into New
York through Ellis island, breaking
all prelous records. More than 72,
000 Immigrants have landed at Ellis
Island since June 1, and the official

Increase than In May, this year, bring

1904. "The high water mark In Immi
gration Is usually reached in May,
The census office approximates the to
tal immigration for this fiscal year at
1,061.659, which indicates a record
breaker, the high water mark being
857,040 for the year ending June 30
1903. For the fiscal year of 1904 the
figures were 812,870.
President's New England Trip.
Under circumstances most unfav
orable, as far as the weather was con
cerned, tho president was accorded,
throughout his New England trip last
week an enthusiastic welcome in all
the cities and towns he visited in Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut. Ho was
given distinguished honors by three
educational Institutions.
Despite tho tremendous electrical
storm which swept over Massachusetts
and Connecticut during the president's
Journey from Wllllamstown through
North Adams, Piltsfield, Brookfield
Junction, Danbnry and South Norwalk,
the crowds a.sembled at the six places
aggregated many thousands.

was arrested on charges of forgery
and falsifying certain books and pa
pers to defraud tho city of Philadel
phia. After a hearing lasti.ig nearly

Floor Burled Under Tons of Stone
Brick and Iron Beams.
. New York, June 27. A Btorm ol
cyclone proportions, accompanied by
a terrific deluge of rain, passed ovei

crnoon causing widespread havoc.
A building in course of erection In
13Cth street, near Riverside drive, was
demolished, John Lawler. foreman ol
bricklayers, being crushed to death
and two Italian laborers severely In
Jurcd. The wrecked building was one
of a row of new apartment houses.
Lawler and the two laborers, seeing
the storm approaching from the New
Jersey shorn, ran to the fifth floor and
made a brave effort to shore up the
west wall.
From neighboring buildings heavj
wooden horses were carried up in
the air like so many pieces of paper
while the six-foot chimney of a dum
my engine in the street was torn frorr
its rivets an 1 hurled 30 feet away.
Having finished their work, the
men Btarted for the street and had
reached the first floor when the whole
building collapsed, burying them un
der tons of sandstone, brick, mortal
and iron beams.
After policemen and firemen hac
worked on the ruins for more than
an hour Lawler was taken out alive
but survived only long enough to re
celvo the last rites of the church
The other two men were soon after
wards extricated and were taken tc
the hospital.
Abraham Pearlman of the firm ol
Pearlman & Brown, the builders ol
the house, aud Abraham Bordock, the
superintendent xif construction, were
later arrested and held to await the
action of tho coroner.
The storm was severe In the Bronj
and Harlem, while the lower section
of the city experienced only a some
whnt heavy gale with no rain. The
storm appealed to break almost simul
taneously in the Bronx and Harlenr
and the wind reached a velocity of 4S
miles an hoiu accompanied by blind
lng sheets of rain. Plate glass win
dows were ' shattered and trees and
chimneys blown down.
At the Hebrew Orphan asylum In
Amsterdam avenue four chimneyi
were demolished and several window!
were blown out. No one was Injured
however.
The storm, which started so sud
denly, after venting its fury, stopped
as suddenly as it began, within If
minutes.

NO PROVISION FOR ARMISTICE.
Japanese Scouts Have Appeared on
Both Russian Flanks.
Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, June 27.
Vague dispatches reaching here
through tho official paper, edited for
the army, make the conditions under
which the proposed peace la to be
reached Indifferently understood.
Although Generals Linevitch and
Kuropatkin express the conviction
that Russia Is drifting toward peace,
do action looking to an armistice has
fet been taken. On the contrary, the
commanders appear to regret that at
the time wnen the army has reached
Its maximum strength it is likely to be
deprived of victory.
Numerous small bodies of Japanese
scouts have appeared In the regions of
eltherRusslan flank; and It Is feared
that they were Intended to screen the
turning operations of the Japanese, as
before the battle of Mukden. Chinese
report that flanking movements have
already begun, but the Russian Btaff
denies this.
Traders coming from Bedoun say
that the Japanese are advancing in
that direction from Slnmintln.

ANNUAL MORTGAGE TAX.
Probable Expense of Collection Under
the New Law.
Albany, June 27. Tho state board
of tax commissioners has looked over
the estimates submitted by the various
county officers regarding the probable
expense of collecting the annual mort
gage tax under the law which goes
Into active operation July 1.
"In a majority of cases," said Com
missioner Stearns, "we have found the
estimates excessive. Most collecting
offices have an exaggerated idea of
the cost of the work. Their estimates
aggregate between $130,000 and $150,
000, whereas we shall allow not more
thon one-third of that sum.
"Th-3 expense of carrying out the
new law is problematical and we can
not reach any definite conclusion un
til after it has been in operation at
least a year.
"The commission Is now perfecting
plans for tin enforcement of the law
and preparing further instructions for
county officers."

CLUE TO TRAIN WRECKER.
.Dope Fiend Murderer May Have
Caused the Mentor Disaster.
Cleveland, O., June 2C. Detectlvei
Investigating the wreck of the 20tt
Century Limited at Mentor, announced
that they believe the switch causing
the disaster was thrown open by the
man who murdered Marlon Burllsou
here a week ago.
This man was seen near tho scene
of the wreck early on Wednesdaj
night. The description of him talliej
with that of tho man who killed Bur
llson and tho fugitive Is known as a
desperate dope fiend. Ho murderod
and robbed Burlison, a prominent west
side resident, after Burlison had be
friended him.
Coroner Sleglesten began an Invea
tlgatlon of the Mentor wreck. He
found evidence that the switch wai
not thrown Immediately beforo the ad
vancing train, but had been opon foi
some time, that a boy probably did not
throw the switch, that a water pluf
stands almost directly In line botwcot
the switch light and the west track
that from tho track, 500 vards to the
westward, the switch is concoaled, that
directly beneath the water plug is I
switch exactly like tho ono thai
caused the wreck.
Sleglesten believes this light maj
have been mistaken by the englneoi
for the one farther on und that not
until the farther switch was almost
reached did ho see the red dangol
light. He says Lake Shoro employei
have complained for years of the
switch lights at Mentor.
General Superintendent Storrs sale
In reply to Slegloaten's statements
that he could state positively that the
engineer and fireman saw the light ol
the switch that caused the wreck.

vision ef the department of agrlcul
ture, filed a detailed statement wltt

showing the result of an examination
Just concluded into tho milk and
cream supply of the following Western
and Central Pennsylvania cities and
towns: Allegheny, Altoona, Johns

Hollldaysburg and Homestead.
In the above-named places a total
of 650 samples of milk and cream were
purchased from tho dairymen and
dealers by tho sworn special agentt
of the division and submitted to the
official chemists for analysis. Tho re
markable result followed that but one
single sample was found to contain t
preservative viz., that of one pur
chase of milk made In Homestead
which contained formaldchydo, or em
balmlng fluid, as it Is commonlj
known.
The dealer who sold tho article will
be prosecuted, and tho case must be
tried In court. It Is probablo that sov
eral additional prosecutions may be
made on account of tho samples con
tabling less than the normal amounl

samples examined. In tho same city
not a 6lngle milkman was found to be
using chemical preservatives durlnj

Commissioner Warren was greatlj
pleased with tho report, as it fully

cutions in 1904 were productive of the
most satisfactory and beneficial re
suits for the public good.
