The wreck of the passenger train on the
. it R. Railway, near Tamanua, yesterday.
whereby Kngine er Grior was killed and two
firemen were fatally Injured, has been
followed by surprising developments and tho
arrest of tho party responsible for tho dis
aster, who is a young Irian whose curiosity
over-balanced his common sense and has
caused his Incarceration In jail.
John Short, the fireman of tho freight
train who suffered In tho wreck, is an inmate
of tho Pottsville hospital. The officials thcro
stated to-day that tho victim's condition con
ttuued as It was yesterday, and that there
are no hones for recovery. A report from
Sbamoklu to-day regarding the condition of
Fireman Kerstvller was of a similar nature.
Tho other victims aro Improving.
The young man under arrreat for causing
tho disaster is Oliver Ohl. Ho is in the 1'otU
vlllo jail, aud will in all pr ibbility remain
there uutll after the Grand Jury acts Ou his
case, and possibly until he is tried by a jury
In court.
Ohl Is seventeen years old. He was accom
panied at the scene of the wreck by Arthur
Sticgerwalt, who is about tho samo age
Both are sons of farmers of West Pcnn
Sticgerwalt is under surveillance as a wit
ness.
Both parties reside about ulna miles from
Tamariua. Yesterday morning they drove
from their homes to a place along tbo rail
road near the point of the wreck with a
load of railway sills, which they loaded on a
railway truck standing ou a siding. While
there Ohl placed a spike on a rail of the
main line for the purpose of seeing how-
train would flatten the spike. It was this
spike, in connection with the sharp curve
near tlie place, that caused tlio passenger
tralu to leave the track.
After the wreck occurred Ohl and his com
naulon drovo homeward. Their actions had
excited suspicion and two officers wcro sent
in pursuit of them, Tho men detailed for
tills work were O. & I. Policeman Daniel
Goudge, ot Askland, and T. D. Fister,
special P. & R. Railway officer located at
Tamaqua. Young Stiegcrwalt was first over
taken, at his homo. When charged with the
terrible deed he dented it, but suggested that
tho officers arrest Ohl, as be could tell all
about It. Tho latter was arrested shortly
after. He made no denial, but said that ho
was not prompted by malicious intent In tbo
act ; that he had simply placed tho spike on
tho rail to see what effect a train would have
n passing over it, tho idea that tho train
ould be thrown from tho rail, or that any
othor accident would happen, never entering
his bead.
Tho officers took Ohl to tho Pottsville jail,
hero he was held until this morning, when
was taken before Justlco Stidfole, at
Tamaqua, and given a hearing. Ohl pleaded
guilty and told his story with reservation,
exonerating his companion from any com
plictty iu tho matter. Ohl was then com
initted to jail without bail.
The' Deputy Coronor at Tamaqua and
ury viewed tbo scene of the wreck and took
testimony last night and this morning. A
verdict will not be rendered until this even
lug.
llurgess Itcaigns
At a special meeting of tho Mahanoy City
Borough Council last night Chief Burgess
Bowman asked If the Council was of the
samo opinion as It was at tho previous meet
ingthat he should pay up his arrearages
and resign. He said he was ready to settle
the acconnt of $61 charged against him and
did not know that he owed any moro. Some
Councilmen insisted upon the payment and
resignation, while others thought the Burtress
should bo given more time to consider the
matter. A vote was taken and It stood 0 to 3
favor of the resignation. The Burgess
