THE AFFAIR VERY MUCH ONE-SIDED About Six Bundled People in Attendance and the Capacity of the Theatre Was by no Means Taxed Officers of the Meet' lng and the Resolutions Adopted. The so-called citizens meeting in l'orgu. son's theatre last night called by "Com- mltteo" to again stir Op tho charges mado against Suiwrlnteirfcnt of Schools ltogartwas as near tho point of Hat failure as anything ever held in tho town anil that it did tiot fall completely was duo to herculean work 011 tho part of tho promoters at a time when tho theatre should lravo been filled to overflowing and thocltizens of tho town, if they were as indignant as "Ooinmlttco" would havo tho public at largo believe, should havo been transacting ths'buslncss lor which tlio meet ing was caltod. At tho hour fixed (8 o'clock) thero woro not forty pcoplo in tho theatre. After that hour thero wore arrivals in bundles and by 8:20, whon tho meeting Was opsuel, there wore about 150 men and boys In attendance. Tho number was increased to alwut 000 during tho meeting. Tho theatre has a capacity of 1,400, Notwithstanding tho disparity between tho actual attendance anil tho capacity of tho theatre, and tho fact that Frank Ilauna, who acted as master of cere monies, urged tho attendants to move to tho front and Jill tho seats near tho stago, some of tho speakers persisted In referring to "tho large attendance," It was ovidently dono for the benefit of tho reporters, to give color of enthusiasm to tho affair. When taking Ids seat as chairman of tho meeting. II. E. JJoylo said : Fellow Citizens : 1 fool gratified for tho honor you havo conferred upon me In chosiug mo to prcslilo over this meeting. I can seo from tho largo attendance Iwro that tho subject under consideration must-be 0110 of importance. It is really ono of Importanco and I am ablo to seo that the citizT.is of Shenandoah havo been aroused to such a pitch that they seo tho advisability of taking proper action upon a subject in winch they .arc so much interested." Frank Hanna, tho secretary of the School Board and ono of tho momlxjrs who were un successful in trying to defeat tho motion to exonerate Superintendent Ilogart at tho last meeting of tho Hoard, opened tho meeting last night by reciting all tho proceedings of tho oaso from tho time or Superintendent llogart'a election. There woro no new developments in his remarks. They simply reviewed the proceedings as they havo al ready been given to the public at vsriou; stages, and Mr. Hanna closed by suyingjtliat it had been resolved to turn tho wholo matter over to tho citizens and an election of olHccrs was in order. Thero was a string of chairs oxtended across tho centre of tho stage, but none of them had becomo occupied. John J. Toolo moved that M. 12. Doylo bo mado president. After a motion by German Gregory that tho nomination closo, Mr. Doylo was unanimously elected and took his seat after making tho acknowledgment of tho meeting's action. Patrick Conry nominated Martin ,1. Lawlor for secretary and the nomination closed upon motion of Barney MeGinno6s. Mr. Eawlor was elcted, but failed to appear and Chair man Doylo invited James F. O'Haren to fill tho position. Mr. O'Haren accepted the office, and H. J. Muldoon presented tho following list of vice presidents? Patrick Conry, J. J. Frauey, P. J. Ferguson, Jacob Noll, Joseph Hinks, William Stein, M Mellet. St. J. Scanlan, M. 31. Master, J. M Kalbach, Charles liadzlowicz John J. Dobbin, Andrew Meluskcy, Adam Tabor, John Mieldazls, Michael l'cters, William Chmicl owsky, Christ Schmidt, George Folmer, M II. Keillor, Max Iieese, Levi ltcfowlch and Louis Goldin. Of theso olllcers elected Patrick Conry, Jacob Noll, Joseph Hinks, M. J. Seaman, Adam Tabor and Max Iieeso took seats on tho stage. Frank Hanna then proceeded to .read tho much-read original affidavits of Clara M, Vatcs, Elizabeth and John C. Yates, her father and mother, and Georgo W. Bailey, one of tho six members of tho Kuoxvillo School Hoard. Upon tho conclusion of his reading Mr. Hanna said ho was not in possession of tho affidavits that had been presented to tho School Hoard In behalf of Superintendent Ilogart and in a complaining touo added that when ho asked for tho latter original affidavits to spread them on tho minutes of the School Hoard with tho others ho was informed that they were tho personal proporty of Superintendent Iiogart. Chairman Doylo then called upon John J. Toolo, who responded with a statement that he had tho honor of visiting Knnxvlllo as a detectlvo in tho caso, that tho people there seemed to be very decent and respectable and that tho Vatos people at first refused to make any statement of tho case, ng they wished to avoid any further notoriety, but Mr. Toolo finally succeeded in inducing thorn to make tho affidavits. Aftor Mr, Toolo took his seat German Gregory aroso in tho audience and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Toole did he get that right from the father of the child, or did it como from tho father of tho child 1" Mr. Toole answered, "I got tho affidavits from tho littlo girl herself, tho mother, the father, and also Mr, ISailey." Mr. Gregory: "Tho reason I ask that quostiou I am the father of children and I Ilko to protect my own children." M. F. Conry, who recently returned to town after taking a two-year course in tho study of law at tho Unlvorsity of Ann Arbor, Mich., was introduced as tho noxt speaker. It was an opportunity for Mr. Conry to spread him self oratorically and ho took full advantage of it, beginning with tho founding of tho public school system in this town, following up its growth and,conclud!ng by congratulat ing the peoplo upon tho oxcellcnt standard tho system has attained. Mr. Conry Is thoroughly at homo in such affairs, having taught school hero for sovoral years Iprior to entering upon tho study of law. The peroration closed with an Inspiring address on tho stars and stripes and before closing Mr. Conry pleaded with tho audience not to allpw tho children to breath, or tho stars and stripes to float In tlioairof a schoolroom that tn- he polluted by tho breath of immorality. The oration brought forth a storm of ap plause that the young man fully deserved, as the! effort was an able ono and many public spsikcrs of more maturo years havo been rd on the slant) of tho theatre with far favorable effect. Mr. I'unry lias an llcnt platform appearance, a pleasing 0 and admirable delivery. erman Gregory again arose and askod, 'Aro any of tho seven School Hoard members hate any of tho seven that had no voice?" alter a delay or a few moments School Director Sullivan aroo and said that, ns Mr, Itanna bad covered tho ground fully, ho did not sco any occasion for further remarks from utiy of the seven Directors. Air. Gregory : "If Mr. Hanna was a mnbcrof tho Board, that was sufficient." Secretary O Huron then read tho following preamblo and resolutions : .Whereas.

ULLY A HUNDRED YICTIMS Of These It Is Bolleved That at Least Fifty Are Dead-A Reading Engine Crushes Into a Pennsylvania Train, Cut ting It In Two. Atlantic City, July 31. A rnllroad nc- clflcnt, horriblo In Its details and sicken ing In its results, occurred last ovcnlng just outside thlsclty, ntulits n result nliout n hundred jwrsons nro oitllor killed or In jured.

Tho Penn sylvania train wits returning to llrldp-eton with it imrty of excursionists from that nlnco. Mlllvlllo nnd nelGhlxirlnK towns. It was loaded with pasngers, una a rougn estimate of tho killed nnd injured nt a Into hour places tho numlier nt 100. It Is hoped that this Is an exaggeration, nut tno num ber Is undoubtedly more than llfty. At tho second signal tower tho tracks of tho two romls cros diagonally. The Heading train was givon tho signal, hut It either fniloil to work or tho speed of tho express was too groat to m checked in time. It caught tno excursion train nromi sido nnd ploughed through, literally clenv- Inn it in twnln. Tho enaino of tho Head- liio- train was shnttered to splinters, and nnilor it lloinnny of tho dead. As soon its tho news reached Atlnntlo City relief trains were dispatched to tho scene, loaded with cots and lienrlng stuffs of surgeons. As quick ns tho bodies wore recovered they were curried Into tho local hospitals nnd undertnkei'V shops. A gen eral fire nlnrin was pounded' and tho de partment promptly responded nnd nlded In tho work of digging for tho victims. Tho first Heading relief train boro into this city twenty-seven mangled eorpsos, men, women nnd children., Tho noxt train, not nn hour Inter, carried llfteon of tho maimed nnd wounded, nml two of theso died soon after reaching tho city. As train after train plied to tho scene of tho wreck and toiled luvck with each gnnstiy load tho sanitarium, which does duty us tho cltv hospital, quickly found its enpao itv ovortaxed. Jlennwhile others of tho dead nrjd Injured were lieingcarrledtotho nrlvnto hospital at Ocean nnd PaciCo nvonues. IJnglneer rnltliful Until Death. Edward FittT, engineer on tho Hendlng train, was killed outright, ns was another road man who rode on tho englno witn Win. This man, whoso name hits not yet been learned, saw tho collision coming and leaped front thecal) an Instant buforo tho crash. Almost at the same tlino tho englno cut its way through nml caught him directly In its path. His hotly and that of Farr wore foifnd under a heap of dobrls. but tho engineer lay In what re mained of tho cab, nnd his right hand still clasped tho throttle. Ho hnd been fnlthf ill unto death, nnd mot It nt his post. Tho ilreman on tho train hud leaped n fow seconds before anil escaped with triilliiK Injuries. Samuel Thorno, Inggngemaster on the Heading train, Is among tho dead. James M. Hatuinan, a Hrldgeton undertaker, Is known to bo killed. Ho was In tho third car, and his hat was found lying among tho mass of broken timbers. Illchnrd Trcnchard. a Hrldgeton machinist, and his wife aro lxith doad. Conductor Kelly, of tho Pennsylvania train, had both logs and arms broken and was internally in jured. All tho killed nnd injured were on tho Pennsylvania train. As tlmo pro gresses it seems almost certain that fifty peonlo wcru killed. Fourteen of tne in jurctl havo died at tho Sanitarium. An Associated Press reporter was on ono of tho llrst relief trains sentout by tho Pennsylvania railroad, nnd ho was tho first nowspaper roprocntntlvo on tho sceno. Staggering In and out of ditches nnd stumbling ovor masses of t)rok',n timber with only n, fow fitful lanterns to help their straining oyes the re-cue gang set bravely to work. Axes and shovels wcro piled with tho greatest vigor, and al most at ovcry half dozen strokesn mangled form was brought up and laid tenderly on tho waiting pallets. A Human Heart In the Itiilus. A heap of bloodstained tlmliers, turned nsldo by one of tho rescuers, brought to sight a woman's nrm. It had boon wronchod otf almost by the roots, and nothing remained but a dripping stump, oven the hand being gone. It had ljee.it olad In n dainty white linon glovo, the sleeve of whloh still clung to It. Not five minutes later 11 chance blow from a ntok revealed a still more ghastly remnant, ti human heart that only a fow short hours before had Ijobu throbbing with Ufa and love. One woman whoso ltody was recovered still held In her dead hand a plato bearing n picture of Atlnntlo City. It was un broken. Scattered ubout thegrouud near the wriiok wore uutuy pieces of clothing whloh had been torn from tho bodies of the victims, hats, dulnty pam&ols, fans nnd glove. Just its one of tho relief trains roschod the Pennsylvania depot with Its terrible loud one innn who lay In a oornerhorrlbly Injured regained his senses for a moment, nnd clasping his hand to his head cried in heartrending agony : "Who did this? My God, where are my wife nnd children?" The excursion train was made up of fifteen oars, the foremost of which was a baggage oar. This and the next two coaches caught the full forco of the crash, and were utterly demolished. What re mained of tho third enr was tumbled Into a ditch nt tho roadside. The responsibility for the accident cannot now lie fixed. Charles C. Ityulck, of Hrldgeton, who was In the exourolon party, wns in one of the rear cars.
