MANY CHILDREN LOSE LIVES
Thirty-nine Passenger Meet Death In
Rear End Collision on Lackawanna
Railroad Near Corning, N. Y.
In a rear-end collision on the Wll
pen branch of the Ligonier Valley
(Pa.) ni II road twenty-seven persons

Not a single passenger escaped death
or Injury.

The accident occurred at the fair
grounds, one and one-half miles from
Ligonier. The passenger train was
backing to Wilpen.
Through a misunderstanding of
nrders a double-header freight train
going to Ligonier crashed into the
only passenger car.
The conch contained a large num
ber of children who were being taken
by Miss Mathews, a nurse at the homo
of J. O, Senft of Ligonier, president
of the Ligonier Valley railroad, for a
day's outing. All the children were
either killed or mstained severe In
juries. The passenger train left Ligonier
on Its regular trip up the branch. A
heavy train of coal cars pulled by two
locomotives was hurrying to Ligonier,
At a curve near the Denny race track
the two trains came together with a
terrific crash,
The freight engines plowed through
the wooden coach, crushing It as If It
were an egg shell. The car was ripped
to pieces. All the occupants were
hurled to the roadbed. Some fell In
the path of the engines while others
were Imbedded partly in a cinder and
stone ballasting. The first engine of
the double-header pulling the freight
train stopped after it had passed
through the coach, turned half way
around and fell over on Its side.
Conductor Charles H. Kuhn of tho
passenger train leaped when he saw
the Impending crash and received a
brpken leg. Engineer Dunlap and
Fireman. Frank Byers of the passen
ger train stuck to their posts and were
uninjured.
Farmers near the scene of the acci
dent and men who were at work at
the Denny race track went to the as
sistance of Engineer Dunlap and Fire
man Byers, who were pulling tho
dyliig and Injured from the wreckage.
A messenger sped with all haste to
Ligonier and notified the residents
there of the accident. In a few min
utes every resldeut of the town who
was able to walk was on the way to
the race track. A frantic call for
physicians and aid was sent to La
trobe. Five Latrobe physicians went
to the scene. A special train was
made up and Bent to Ligonier to bring
the injured to the hospital.
When notified of the wreck the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, of
which the Ligonier Valley railroad is
a branch, sent a special train from
Pittsburg to Latrobe to bring the In
jured from the overtaxed Latrobe hos
ital to Pittsburg hospitals.
When the news of the accident
reached Ligonier automobiles and
wagons were pressed Into service. Wo
men stopped in their homes only long
enough to rip sheets from the beds
then Join the men who were waiting
ft Ith machines In the street.
The women performed heroic serv
ice in the rescue of the Injured and
(lying. As fast as the men pulled tho
poclies from the wreck they wer
carried to the roadside where the wo
men bandaged their wounds.

at a high rate of speed past a signal

a dropped semiphore arm into the pas

track with Its hundred or so sleeping
passengers.
The dead, which filled to overflow
ing the morgues of the little town, are
In many Instances so frightfully
mangled that identification is almo.st
Impossible.
The engine of the express train
ripped Its way through the two day
coaches in the rear, killing Instantly
all the passengers In them, plowed
through half a steel car, throwing the
sleeping car off the track, and then
came to a standstill.
The wreck was the worst in the his
tory of the road. Its cause, according
to Engineer Sehroeder of the express,
was his failure to see signals set
against his train. The morning was
foggy and he said he could not make
them out,
The stretch of track from Elmira
to Corning Is fitted for fast running
and Sehroeder was sending his train
along at slxty-Hve miles an hour. No.
9 was supposed to be' half an hour
ahead of him. He had no warning
until he made, out the outline of the
rear coach of No. 9, through the fog.
Then he threw In the reverse without
shutting off steam.
Sehroeder said the impact threw
him from the cab and landed him on
his shoulder on the roadbed practically
unhurt.
JOHNSON DECLARED WINNER
Championship Fight Stopped by Police.
Wolgast Wins on Foul.
Jack Johnson Is still the champion
of the world but not because he
prpved himself very much superior to
Jim flynn, the Pueblo fireman, in the
fight at Las Vegas, N. M.
Johnson is still the champion for the
reason that Flynn lost his head when
lie had the big black fellow on the run
apd made It necessary for the police
to jump Into the ring In the ninth
round,
Referee Smith announced that he
did not give the decision to Johnson
because of the foul tactics of Flynn,
as the white man had transgressed no
more than the negro. And that while
the butting of the Pueblo fireman could
be seen the holding of Johnson was
Just as truly an Infraction of the rules.
He held that the men sometime ago
agreed that If the fight was stopped
for any reason that the victor should
be the man who was leading at the
time. There was no question but that
Johnson had struck the greater num
ber of clean blows.
Wolgast Wins on Foul.
Ad Wolgast, lightweight champion,
Was given the decision over Joe
Rivers In the thirteenth round In their
fight In California. The referee de
cided that Rivers fouled Wolgast. The
decision was unpopular with the
crowd, as it was claimed that Wolgast,
first fouled Rivers.

Vaniman's Tragic Disaster.
With thousands of spectators stand
ing In full view, too horrified to utMr
a cry, the dirigible Akron, having
M el v I n Vaniman as commander, his
younger brother, Calvin Vaniman, and
Fred Elmer, Walter Gest and Georgo
Bourrillion, his crew, all on board, was
shattered by the explosion of the gas
bag while high In the air over the
ocean near Atlantic City. N. J.
The Akron was taken out for a teU
flight. One flight had already been
made, about a month ago. Defects dis
covered at that time were remedied
and this flight was to be among th'
last prior to the attempt to cross tin
Atlantic.
When a half mile off Rrigantine
beach the thousands of spectators whe
had been watching the ship saw a
burst of flames outlined against the
sky. In a few seconds they were hor
rified to see the car of the balloon
detach itself from the bag and shoot
downward Into the water, followed by
the collapsed gas bag.
Mrs. Vaniman saw the collapse of
the balloon and Its drop Into the
ocean carrying with It her husband
and brother-in-law. She fell in a faint
and was unconscious some time.
Friends who were with her sent for
physicians am", when she recovered
consciousness she talked of her hus
band's bravery.
The wives of Bourrillion, C.est and
Elmer, who lived nearby, also saw
the disaster from their homes. Neigh
bors tenderly cared for them and lat.r
they went over to the Vaniman cot
tage. Men turned away as the four
widows wept on one another's shoul
ders. Miss Quimby's Fall With Willard.
The martyr roll of the science of
aviation was Increased by two souls
when Harriet Quiniby of New York,
premier aviatrlce of this continent,
anil W. A. P. Willard of Boston were
hurled a thousand feet into Dorchester
bay from Miss Quimby's Illerlot of tlio
most recent war type and Instantly
killed.
There Is probably no person wiio
will ever be able to tell what caused
the accident, but some are Inclined to
the belief that the machine suddenly
ran Into a gust of wind that caused
the nose to point downward too rapid
ly and that the suction pulled Willard
out of his seat to the rear of the
operator and threw him headforemost
through space. His weight forced
Miss Quiniby to follow. Others say
the Indications are that the tall con
trol broke, for It suddenly pointed up
ward Into the air and then Willard
shot out. The latter theory Is ad
vanced by a number of aviators.
Plunges From Parachute.
In full view of 20.000 persons gath
ered In Hillside park, near Belleville,
N. J., Tom Moore fell from his para
chute and was dashed to death.
He fell 1,200 feet. In some way he
lost his balance. Before the ascent
he had refused to put on a life belt.

An Investigation of the treasury de
partment by congress will probably re
sult from the resignation of A. Piatt
Andrew as second assistant secretary
of the treasury accompanied by "en
sational letters addressed by Andrew
to both the secretary of the treasury
and the president.
Andrew declared Hint energetic
young men in the treasury had been
"hampered and discouraged at every
turn by Secretary MarVeagh's Idiosyn
crasies, his astounding capacity for
prosrrastinatlon, his Incapacity for de
cision and tho peculiar moods of sus
picion and aversion to which he Is
constantly subject."
Andrew names in his letter to the
president some half-dozen high of
ficials of the department who, he says,
will confirm his statements regarding
conditions In the department and the
relations existing between the various
division and bureau heads anil tho
secretary.
