R., Jan. 18, 1908 □ "I will try and send you a few lines on the sad accident on the Massachusetts last Friday. We were at target practice and while the crew of the 8-inch guns were firing •» charge of 100 lbs. of pow der, it exploded and burned ten men so badly that they are all dead but one, and he is almost dead. As soon as the accident happened the Admiral gave orders for us to go to San Juan as quicklj as we could, and sent four doctors on l>oard to help our own. And we made a flying trip to San Juan, a distance of 50 miles. But, when we had arrived, five of the poor fellows had died and the carpen ter's gang had started to make the cof fins and the dead were prepared for bur ial, and those who were yet living seut to the hospital. Next morning the dead were buried with naval honors. As we were coming back from the graveyard a signal came that two more of them had died. And now we have just got word that one more of them has died and is to be buried to-morrow. Just to think what they have been suffering. It is too hor rible to relate; some of them were burn ed so bad you could not tell who they were. We had just finished firing the sis inch gun and were standing about watching them fire the 8-inch sun. One of the gun's crewe had just finished firing and had come out of the turret, leaving only one crew inside, (ten men). Thev had fired all but two shots and had on<* in, but when they went to fire it the gun held fire, and when they opened the breech the gun went off, filling the tnrret with Humes and setting fire to bags of powder that had just came tip from the magazine and the men could not get out quick enough. We manned the hose and turned the tnrret as soon as we could, and flooded the magazine in time to save the ship. I shall never forget those poor fellows some with the flesh falling off them, begging for someone to kill them. They were taken to the bay, and wrapped in clothes soaked linseed oil. One fellow, before anyone could catch him, jumped overboard, but he died a few hours afterwards. You will get the papers giving full accounts of it, as there have been sev eral reporters on board.

The directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and i f the Pennsyl vania Company at their meetings held in Philadelphia last Thursday, had be fore them the plan for the low-gratis freight cut-off to run from Enon, on the Fort Wayne road, to Red Bank ou the Allegheny Valley railroad. The officials approved the plans and ordered that the contracts be let at once. The road will be double tracked, with enormous freight yards at both ends, and.will cost at least $0,000,000. It was said at the meetings that tracks of the Allegheny Valley, Philadelphia & Erie and Northern Central roads were in good shape to handle the new traffic which the low grade route will give them, but that big transfer yards must be built at Sunburv. where the Philadel phia & Erie road will liai.d over the freight to the Northern Central. The yards will cost about $50,000, and it is semi-officially announced that the Northern will soon let contracts for their construction The cut-off from Enon to Red Bank will enable the Pennsylvania to send all through freight to and from the west around Pittsburg and relieve the con gestion at that city, and when it is built and and the freight road through Lan caster and Chester counties is completed the Pennsylvania will have a low grade freight road stretching from the Alle gheny river to the Delaware The route from Red Bank is by way of the low grade division of the Allegheny Valley road to Driftwood, thence by the Phila delphia & Erie to Sunburv, and thence by the Northern Central to Maysyille, north of Ilarrisburg, and down along the Susquehanna to Shocks Mills. The route of the low-grade road is thence down the fast bank of the Susquehanna on the bed of the Columbia & Deiwsit road to York Haven, and thence across Lancaster and Chester counties to At glen. From Atglen the main line will be used to Glen Loch, where connection is made with the Trenton cut off, which takes the low-grade freight route to the Delaware. The road is expected to be opened from the Allegheny to the Dela ware within 18 months. SHERIFFS SALE. By virtue of a writ of Fi.
