WEDNESDAY EVENING.
PROBE CAUSE OF
WRECK IN WHICH
THREEJPERISH
Pennsy Officials Uncertain
Whether Freight or Ex
press Went Wrong
By Associated Press
Altoona, Feb. s.—Pennsylvania
Railroad officials are to-day investi
gating the cause of the wreck early
last night at Shoenberger, eighteen
miles"cast of here, where three men
were killed when the Chicago Mail,
eastbound, was derailed. The engine
of the fast train went over an em
bankment into the Juniata river.
The dead wero all in the locomo
tive. They are:
J. L. Sandoe, Harrisburg, en
gineer.
F. M. McCue, Altoona, fireman-
Samuel Hyle, Altoona, special In
structor.
Nine of fourteen cars In the train
were derailed. One day coach at the
rear carried the only passengers,
none of them being hurt. Tho other
cars contained mail and express. Sev
eral postal clerks and express mes
sengers suffered minor injuries.
The accident resulted in a dual
wreck. Three empty cars of a west
bound freight train were wrecked at
the same point All tracks are block
ed and passenger traffic is being de
toured by Middle division branches.
Whether the mail train caused the
freight wreck, or if the freight train,
was wrecked first, has not been de
termined.
The crash came at 9.30 P. M. as
the train was gathering momentum
for a down-grade coast. At this
point the trackage runs almost
parallel with the Juniata river and
the embankment at this point is
fully thirty feet high. It Is not
known whether there was an ob
struction on the track or not, but
from first indications it is believed
that the wreck may have been
caused by spreading rails.
The engineer of the train did not
realize his peril until the locomo
tive lurched and plunged down the
embankment lnttytho river. As the
red-hotf boiler of the locomotive
came in contact with the water
there was an explosion and part of
the engine was blown to pieces.
Nine of the twelve cars which made
up the train were derailed, but none
of them rolled down the embank
ment.
Officials at the Pennsylvania
railroad station here this morning
said that the trains were again run
ning on time. During the night
they had been delayed because of
the wreck. It is expected that all
of the wreckage will be cleared up
during the day.
Mr. Sandoe, the engineer, who
was killed, lived at 21 North Fifth
street. The body was brought
home shortly after 9 o'clock this
morning. Plans for the funeral will
be completed late to-day.
Besides his wife, who is pros
trated over the death. Mr. Sandoe is
survived by two daughters. Miss
Mary Sandoe, of Philadelphia, and
Mrs. Anna Sands, of Atlantic City.
When Mrs. Sandoe learned of the
death of her husband a physician
had to be called for her.

ALTOONA CAR
SHOPSAREBUSY
Enough Work on Hand to
Keep Them Busy Unlti
Late August
Forces at Altcona car shops have
sufficient work ahfad to keep them
occupied until August, probably the
latter part of the month, it was
learned last night.
Orders for 1,000 boxcars of the
X-26 type, and 200 flat cars will
occupy the men for several months,
as the greater number of them re
main to be built Employes are also
working on the last of an order for
N-5 cabin cars. Practically all of
these cars have been completed save
the floors, and are waiting for the
necessary material.
Six gun-trucks constructed at the
car shops last spring, for the gov
ernment naval yards, were never
delivered to the points where they
were to have been utilized. The
Pennsy completed on schedule time,
this order, but the signing of the
armistice removed all present need
of them, and the trucks are stored
in the local yards, awaiting orders
from Uncle Sam.

RETRENCHMENTS
ARE STARTED
Western Maryland Discharges
75 Brakemen; 150
More to Go
Retrenchments have set in in full
force on the Western Maryland !
railroad and the labor situation at!
Hagerstown is reaching alarming \
conditions.
More than 225 brakemen of the
railroad in and near Hagerstown |
are scheduled for early discharge, |
Western Maryland officials have an- '
nounced. The cutting of men and |
crews was started yesterday in earn
est. Seventy-five brakemen were

Railroad Notes
Railroads are ordered by the Okla
homa corporation commission "to
refund of 1 cent a mile in all
cases where a cash fare'of four cents
a mile is collected from passengers
in Oklahoma. The roads have been
collecting four cents a mile in all
cases where passengers were not
provided with tickets. The commis
sion will allow the railroads to con
tinue the collection of four cents
a mile as cash fare in order that the
roads may have some checß on
such fares, but where a cash fare is
collected the conductor will be re
quired to give a refund slip for one
cent for each mile.
Passenger travel to Florida Is re
ported very heavy just now. Sleeping
car reservation out of New York and
Washington, for the south, have
been practically taken for the entire
month of February, it is said. At
least, lower berths will be scarce.
MAY USE HEAVY ENGINES
The intention, of the Pennsylvania
railroad to use the heaviest motive
power in and about Pittsburgh Is
indicated by a bulletin issued bv Su
perintendent R. T. Morrow, In which
he says "that HJC-F Mallet en
gines may be Operated over the
Brilliant, Port Perry and Rade
baugh divisions without restriction."
The Mallet type engine Is the heav
iest locomotive in- service on any
railroad. The Pittsburgh dl/ision
of the Pehnsylvania is now operat
ing several Bessemer and Lake
Erie engines. There are also being
used on the Pittsburgh division two
fregiht locomotives of the Santa Fe
railroad. .
NEW MILEAGE BOOKS
Mileage scrip books, good for
3,000 miles, costing S3O, with $7.20
additional for war tax, will bo
placed on sale February 10, the
railroad administration announces.
They will be good on all govern
ment-controlled railroads and terms
will be the same as those of S3O
and sls' books now on sale.
Returns Home From the

From flying over the battlefields
In France to conducting on the Har
risburg Railways Company lines is
a far, far call, but Ralph Bryan
Campbell, 1907 North Fourth street,
who has just accepted the position
as a conductor after serving as an
aviator In the Army, declares that
"it will be a nice little change to
come down to earth and stay there
awhile."
Campbell was trained at Kelley
fields, and at three English flelds.
He did a lot of flying on the west
front, and figured in one or two
flying accidents which nearly cost
his life. Campbell also has two

| COMBINED I
I 10th Anniversary And I
February Furniture Sale I
Double reductions on nearly everything in our
store. A wonderful opportunity for Home Furnish
ers to provide their needs in our lines at extraordi
nary low prices. , •
I Just ten years ago this store was opened in a very modest way and
in rather limited quarters. A fixed policy of square, honest business
methods has built the business up gradually until at the present time it
is one of the largest, if not the largest, and most complete Furniture and
Home Furnishing establishment in Harrisburg, utilizing 19,000 sq. ft.
of floor space to show our goods.
This being our 10th Anniversary we felt the necessity of doing some- I
thing in the shape of celebrating a successful business. The event com- I
B ing at the same time as our Annual February Furniture Sale complicated
matters somewhat for us. We hard y felt ourselves able to afford two
reduction sales owing to our unalterable rule of adhering strictly to every
representation made in connection with our business.
We finally decided to apply an extraordinary large reduction on all
our goods during the entire month of February and call it our 10th Anni
versary and February Furniture Sale.
This reduction will place our vast stock of Furniture, Rugs, etc.,
before the people*this month at prices that it is fair to say will not be
equalled in other stores in the city. - t
It will pay youjto anticipate your needs early in the sale.
