I.V.I UK El).
DUNMORE, Sept. C Division
Supt. C. P. Eckels of the Erie Is not
yet ready to give out a statement de
finitely placing the blame for Fri
day's bad collision between two pas
senger trains at Lake Ariel a col
lision in which Engineer Daniel
Smith nnd his fireman, John B. Mil
ler, were killed and 17 persons in
jured, some of them seriously. Ho
intimated today that he might not be
ready to talk fqr publication for two
or three days yet.
Several witnesses, Including En
gineer W. C. Grant nnd Conductor
Abraham Snyder of one of the
wrecked passenger trains, are still to
bo examined by the company. Both
Grant nnd Snyder are unablo to leave
their homes on account of Injuries
they received In the wreck.
The funeral of Fireman John D.
Miller of East Grove street, Dun-
more, one of the wreck victims, was
held at noon Monday from his home.
The body was taken to Lake Ariel
at 1.30 over the Erie and exercises
were held there. Burial wns In the
Maplowood cemetery.
Tho collision occurred at 2.25
o'clock In the afternoon on a stretch
of single track leading from the main
line of the Erie division Into tho
Lake Ariel station. This track is
In the form of a loop, and Is nbout
three miles In length. It leaves the
main track at a point called East
Junction and enters onto it again
at West Junction, three-fourths of a
mile distant.
Train No. 102, leaving Scranton
at 1.27 o'clock, running east, and
train No. 143, running west, came
together on the loop leading to the
station. Train No. 102 was In
charge of Engineer Smith and Con
ductor Elston. Train No. 143 was
in charge of Engineer Grant and
Conductor Snyder. The locomotives
were less than 200 feet apart be
fore either engineer saw the other
train. Then Engineer Grant jammed
on his air and with his fireman
jumped. Engineer Smith and his
fireman were caught in tho wreck
age before they had a chance to
jump. Both were killed. It was
five hours before the fireman's body
was recovered from under the
wreckage.
When tho trains came together
the locomotives ploughed through In
to tho baggage cars in their rear.
The passenger coaches were thrown
from the tracks, but none of them
were telescoped. The passengers
were thrown In all directions Inside
the cars.
Engineer Grant, who escaped by
jumping, and the conductors of both
trains disclaim all responsibility.
At Lake Ariel a dozen persons inter
viewed said both conductors had dis
played their train orders, Which
gave them the right of way on the
loop. Conductor Snyder, they said,
had shown his orders, telling him to
pass train 143 at East Junctiou.
Conductor Elston had displayed' or
ders telling him to pass No. 102
at West Junction.
Just before the collision both
trains were running about 30 miles
an hour, but Engineer Grant had
brought his train to about half that
speed before he Jumped. The fact
that both trains carried two bag
gage coaches between the engines
and the passenger cars prevented
more serious Injury among the pas
sengers.
Within a few minutes after the
collision four doctors from Lake
Ariel were at the secne. They tem
porarily dressed the Injuries of tho
passengers. A call sent to Scranton
brought a special relief train to Lake
Ariel, carrying several doctors and
surgical supplies. The more seri
ously hurt were brought to Scranton
or taken to the hotels at Lake Ariel.
The. less serioiiBly hurt who were
bound for Scranton were taken there
In a special train. The eastbound
passengers were provided transpor
tation by the company to Gravity,
where they took main line trains for
New York.
Superintendent Eckels was In
formed of tho statements of the resi
dents of Ariel and the passengers on
tho wrecked trains that conductors
of both trains had displayed train or
ders which gave both tho right of
way on tho loop to tho Ariel station,
and that these orders apparently
conflicted, the conductors being or
dered to pass each other at differ
ent points. Mr. Eckels was asked
for a statement from tho company
giving tho causes of the accident, but
ho was not ready to talk then.

HELD FOR LARCENY
ELLA SIMPSON, PKKSTON GIUL,
SAID TO HAVE TAKEN SILK
WAIST FROM WOMAN IN THAT
PLACE DROUGHT TO JAIL TO
AWAIT TRIAL AT OCTOBER
TERM.
Ella Simpson, only 20 and a very
goodlooklng girl when dressed up,
was brought to jail Friday night
from Preston by Constable Sherwood,
who delivered to Sheriff Braman a
commitment in which tho young
woman was charged with larceny.
Lilly Lee, who lives In Preston, the
home of the accused woman, missed
some clothing, Including a silk waist,
and other personal effects. The
Simpson woman, who was wearing a
silk waist thnt looked for all the
world like the one missing from the
wardrobe of Lilly Lee, was arrested
Tho hearing Friday was before
Justice Lee. Ella Simpson couldn't
get ball in the sum of $300 and the
constable hitched up after supper and
brought her to Honesdale.
There may be further develop
ments In this Simpson case, Con-
stable Sherwood said Friday night at
a Honesdale hotel. He hunted up De
tective Spencer and had a conference
with him.
The Simpson woman' Is well known
up Preston way. It Is understood she
is not mentally strong and that she
has not borne the best kind of a
reputation.
Constable Sherwood is a small
man physically, but he is a spunky
officer. He has had considerable ex
perience with rough gangs of Itali
ans working on contracts and also
with the Polanders that were plenti
ful In Preston two or three years
ago. He went back to Preston Sat
urday morning.

The vibration of the building causes
the feed steam pipe to the gong to

laid on the roof to the peak and then
an elbow extended Into the air. The
committee was Instructed to design
some means whereby tho vibration
would be lessened. It cost $75 to
place the gong In its present posi
tion. - ,JUayor Kuhbach called the
council's attention to the sale of the
Hendrlck hook and ladder equip -
ment, Including a chemical engine of
80 gallons' capacity, an ambulance,
three horses and harness. The ex- asters; Mrs. H. B. Ely, pink rose

the council claiming Protection En
gine company No. 3 had not so much
ns a stepladder to light tires and
depended entirely on the Texas
companies for their supply of lad
ders. The matter was left with May
or Kuhbach to confer with tho Car
bondale parties in relation to ac
cepting tho offer made.
Mr. Kuhbach also appeared In ref -
erence to the protection demanded
by the Herbeck-Demer Cutglnss com
pany. Tho council discussed the sit
uation but no definite action was tak
en, it was interrogated of tne May
or by some members whether he
had any right to hire extra police for
the protection of the people when tho
police could be called on, the coun
cil questioning the payment of a bill
for special police service.
Mr. Kuhbach stated that there was
recently some dlfllculty in the neigh
borhood of the Farnham bridge and
thnt tho protection of the peoplo was
demanded. He stated that he was
In search ot an ofticer and the tlrst
ono he met was Mr. Spencer, and he
ordered him to quiet tho disturbance.
The chief burgess stated that If he
had gone around town In search ot a
policeman there was a possibility ot
one or more being killed. He stated
that In his judgment ho thought he
was doing what was right. After the
matter was explained tho majority of
the members agreed with tho Mayor.
Councilman Murray corroborated
Mr. Kuhbach's statements, claiming
he was an eye witness of tho pro
ceedings. The contract of the Honesdale Con
solidated Electric Light, Heat and
Power company was read. Tho con
tract calls for three years' service,
commencing May 1, 1910. For 38
arc lights the contract places tho
price for each light at $75 per year,
but if that number should increase
to 40 lights, $70 per lamp would be
asked. For additional lamps over 40,
ono lamp will be furnished free of
charge. Tho' incandescent street
lamps will be operated In connection
with tho arc lights. The resolution
was accepted by the council at April's
meeting. Tho only stipulation In the
contract presented by the Electric
Light company, which was signed by
H. T. Menner nnd M. B. Allen, was
that the secretary sign it, represent
ing tho council. On motion of G.
W. Penwarden, It was carried that
the contract be accepted and signed
by the secretary.
