Three Cars of the Pennsylvania Special Went Into River. Terrible North Sea Disaster Mrs. Thaw's Cross-Examination Gover nor Asks For Kelsey's Removal. Death of John Cunneen Senator Smoot Retains His Scat. In one of the most remarkable wrecks that lias ever occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad 51 passengeis and a railroad crew of 10 persons were more or less injured early Saturday morning when the Pennsylvania spec ial, the palatial 18-hour train between New York and Chicago, was wrecked while rounding a sharp curve near South Forks, six miles from Johns town. Of the injured passengers seven su? tallied serious hurts, necessitating their removal to hospitals. They aro Frederick A. Busse, postmaster of Chi cago, and candidate for Republican nomination for mayor; John F. Klino, postmaster of Jollet, 111.; Felix Ismm, real estate broker, Philadelphia: Sam uel F. Nixon, Philadelphia; Thomas Bauer. Lafayette, Ind.; J. Wood Wil son, Marion, Ind., and W. H. Baker, Chicago. All of these will be able to leave the hospitals within a couple of days, ex cept Postmaster Kline, who has a seri ous wound in his lung. It is stated he will recover unless complications sot in. The accident was caused by a brake rigging dropping to the track on tiie first Pullman coach following the en gtne and combination smoking ci.r. The great speed and weight of the train tore up the tracks and the steel ties for a distance of 300 feet. The engine and smoking car remained on the rails, but the three Pullman coat h- es plunged from the track down over a CO-foot embankment where they rolled over and over onto the thick ice cov ering the Conemaugh river. Terrible North Sea Disaster. The worst disaster in the history of the busy cross-channel traffic be tween England and the continent oc curred during a violent gale shortly before C o'clock Thursday morning, when the Rotterdam mull steamer Berlin, from Harwich to Hook of Hol land, having safely weathered the hur ricane, was suddenly wrecked as she was entering port. It is conjectured that some derange ment of the engines or steering gear may have rendered the vessel uncon trollable. Captain Precious of the Berlin had a good record of 14 years' service. The list of passengers on the fated steamer was lost and all the names of those who were on board have not been learned, but as far as lias been ascertained there were no Americans among the passengers. Thanks largely to the courage and determination of Prince Henry of Neth erlands, prince consort, that which appeared impossible has been achieved add the hfrpie and unflinching efforts Centre, Sycamore, Seneca Sts., of the Dutch lifeboat men have suc ceeded In rescuing 11 more survivors of the ill-fated steamer Berlin. This makes the total number of saved 15 out of the 143 who were aboard the vessel. Breaks Down Under Fire of Questions. Under the stress of a cross-examination in which Mr. Jerome gave no quar ter, Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw broke down upon the witness stand.- With Minding tears burning their way down cheeks which from ashen white flush ed to crimson, she admitted that after her first experience with Stanford White her relations with the architect continued several months. But that was not all. There were other confessions, which, while dam aging to her character, accentuated all the more the terrible personal sacri fice she is making in the effort to save her husband from death In the electric chnir. After bringing out that her relations with White continued for some time, Mr. Jerome went deeper. Mrs. Thaw admitted that iu 1903, after the return from Europe, she spent a night at Thaw's apartments in New York and for three weeks !iand she occupied connecting apartf ts at the Grand hotel in this city. There seemed to be nothing in the witness' past life of which the prose cutor was not informed. He seemed to be able to trace her every step and this seems to be largely due to the typewritten statement of the young wife's mother which he nearly always holds In his hand while hurling telling questions at the daughter. Written in single spaced typewriting the state ment seems to cover fully 75 pages. M&ks For Kelsey's Removal. Governor Hughes has recommended to the senate the removal of Otto Kel sey, superintendent of Insurance, on the ground of unfitness for the position, demonstrated by what the governor regards as a lack of appreciation and grasp of the needs of the department, especially ns disclosed by the Investi gation of the Armstrong committee. The message, which was accom panied by a transcript of Mr. Kelsey's testimony taken before Governor Hughes on Monday afternoon, was read and on motion of Senaior Raines, the Republican leader, was ordered printed nud referred without debate or comment to the committee on ju diciary, which consists of Senators Davis, Armstrong.

HELPED HER HUSBAND. Young Mrs. Thaw Holds Up Well In Cross-Ex amination. Thaw Took Letter of Credit From Her and Said Neither She Nor Her Mother Should Use It Thaw's Cable gram to White Was About an Insult to Her Mother. New York, Feb. 2G- Except for one brief moment Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit. Thaw had a decidedly- easy day of it during the continuation of her cross cxamlnutlon by District Attorney Jer ome. When adjournment was taken the prosecutor announced that he had practlcdlly concluded with the wit ness. Mrs. Thaw will be temporarily ex cused this morning to enable Mr. Jer ome to introduce Abraham Hummel to identify a photographic copy of the affidavit Evelyn Nesbit is alleged to have signed, which charges Thaw with many cruelties during their trip to Europe in 1903. The district attorney got the con tents of the affidavit before the jury by reading certain of its statements in the form of questions and asking Mrs. Thaw If she told such things to Mr. Hummel. In each instance she declared she did not. . She also denied ever having signed bucIi an affidavit but admitted that she signed some papers for White in the Madison Square Garden tower, the nature of which she was not aware. Never Saw Dr. Flint Before. It was during the morning session that Mr, Jerome played his strongest card of the day. Mrs. Thaw had de nied most positively that she ever went to see a Dr. Carlton Flint with Jack Barrymore, the actor. "Call Dr. Flint," commanded Mr. Jer ome to a court attendant. The doctor entered from the witness room and was escorted to within a few feet of the witness chair. "Did you ever see that man before?-' Mr. Jerome asked Mrs. Thaw. The witness seemed a bit startled, looked quickly and intently at the phy sician, then turned to Mr. Jerome and shook her head. "Never," she declared. Thaw was intensely interested In this incident and when it was oer he turned to the newspaper men sitting nearest him and whispered: "That man made a mistake in coming here. He stood there a liar. Do you catch the point a liar." Mrs. Thaw was in much better spirits when she took the stand and lookod decidedly better physically than she did last week. She seemed thoroughly at home in the witness chair and with a foot stool and back cushion appeared quite comfortable. She had all her wits about her and did not fare at all badly at the hands of the district ntlnrnpv whn una Tn.irn gentle In questioning her than he was I last week. Hero's an opportunity to buy the best of Foot wear at prices so low that no one can afford to stay away. If you care to save money, here's a Shoe Sale liicil, in justice io your pocketbook, you cannot Saturday, March 9th Helped Her Husband In Two Points, Instead of further hurting the causo of her husband, Mrs. Thaw managed to make two decided gains. When court adjourned last Thursday it ap peared from her own statements that she used a letter of credit from Stan ford White while traveling In Europe and turned the letter over to Thaw Yesterday she explained that Thaw took the letter of credit from her, say ing the money was "poison," that neither she nor her mother must touch It, and thut he would provide them with funds. Whatever of the money was spent, she declared, was for her mother. The second point Mrs. Thaw made was concerning the cablegrams Thaw is said to have sent to Stanford White from Ixindoii. It appeared Thursday that these cablegrams were requests to White to use his influence to keep Mrs. Nesbit from "raising a row" and Interfering with her daughter In her continuing in company with Thaw. Mr. Jerome took up the subject again but his questions elicited the in formation that the letters did not con cern Mrs. Thaw at all but related to a inn n a secretary of Ihe American em hassy in London, who Mrs. Thaw said "sneaked up to mamma's bed room and insulted her." She said the man also insulted her and that Thaw went In search of him but failed to find him. The proceedings dragged a great deal and It was evident long before he announced the fact that Mr. Jerome was Hearing the end of his cross-ex- tuinatlon. lutni.v s proceedings, Willi Mr. Hum mel on the stand, should be more in teresting. The defense on cross-examination will attempt to discredit the witness, who is under indictment. It may be late in the afternoon before Mrs. Thaw will again take the stand for Mr. Jerome's final questions, which will havo to do with the affidavit. Should the defense decide to proceed with the re-direct examination of Mrs. Thaw, and should Mr. Jerome take up her re-cross-examlmitlon, Mrs. Thaw may be kept upon the stand all of Wednesday and Thursday. There may be an attempt, however, to intersperse the Inst parts of her testimony with furl her statements from the experts. Honduran Town Captured. .Managua, Nicaragua, Feb. 25.
