H., Sept. 16.—In tho of flee of the train dispatcher of the Con cord division men awaited the wreck which they knew was sure to result from a mistake either In the receiving or the sending of the orders, and made preparations for it. Before word was received that the fast passenger, mov ing at 40 miles an hour, and the plod ding freight train had come together, the operators had sent out orders for the wrecking crew to bq ready. ”1 know’ where the blame Is. It is In the Concord depot. 1 have In :ny pocket order No. 4, delivered to me at Canaan. They can’t put the blame on the operator nt Canaan.”—Statement made by Benjamin J. Lawrence, con ductor of the freight train. Operator Has Collapsed. Those men on duty In the otfico that runs Ute Concord division discovered that a mistake hud been made In the transmission of tho orders. They knew that No. 30, making up time, was speeding nt perhaps 60 miles an hour toward the heavy freight that makes an average of 30 miles an hour, neither engineer having the slightest idea that his orders were wrong. Dispatcher James A. Browley, who was In charge of tho dispatcher’s of- flee hero when the orders were sent for the two passenger trains and the freight, has completely collapsed. Ills mental condition Is such that officials of the rood fear he may lose his rea son. He has been with the Boston and Maine for six years, and previous to taking that position was a dispatcher on other roads. The men In the dispatcher’s office knew that the freight and the passen ger train, with full cars of sleeping excursionists, would meet head-on, and they were powerless to signal either one. If the railroad men are to be be lieved, the discovery was made soon RAGE OVER CRIMES Paris, Sept. 16.—Several thousand persons, many of them women, took part In demonstrations in the streets here Sunday against monstrous crimes against little girls. It Is supposed that the indignation of the crowds wus ac centuated by the escape from the guil lotine of Solelllant, slayer of a 12- year-old girl. Last week his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment by President Falllerea. The greatest demonstiuiion occurred nt Place Saint Ambrose, near which lived little Martha Eberdlng, the vic tim of Solelllant. The rage of the women of this district has been great since President Fallleres showed clem ency to Solelllant. They assembled In the afternoon with their husbands and other of the sympathisers and were augmented In numbers by crowds of curious persons. Their orderly erlea for justice w-ere quickly changed to cries of “death to Solelllant,” and ”do*n with Fallleres,” ns the procession, led by a woman, who carried a little girl on her shoulders, with th© purpose of Indicating the ob ject of manifestation, moved • toward the Piaoe de la Republlque. Soon the streets were choked by a vast mob, and the police reserves were called out to disperse It. The parade, however, assembled again and several of the more violent demonstrators were ar rested. when questioned about It, and he looks it. II© says another boy run away with him and that he (Jake) had all the money. They went to Griffin, Ga., ho says, and there he declares the other boy got what coin was left and left him. He then boarded a train and It i* said that Jake has been missing through the aid of passengers got to weeks. He didn’t deny that Atlanta* after tho second order was sent to Ca- naau giving the freight an lirtTJr and ten minutes of the time of the passen ger train; that the order gave the freight the extra time on the Quebec Express when It should have been giv en on tho Canadian Pacific Limited. Called Up All Stations. In an Instant Browley and the men with hint In the office realised what was about to happen. Frantically one of the men rushed to his key. His nervous fingers Jerked out call after call for Canaatv Operator John Gree ley answered. "Can you stop 267?” Breathlessly they awaited Greeley's answer. "Gone; anything wrong?” They didn't stop to tell him. Other fingers were busy at other wires. Calls for other stations north of Canaan were clicked In short, nervous Morse. The white-faced men were hoping ugalnst hope. Thoy got another station. Every ear In the room was strained to tho sound er that#spelled out the words that struck terror to the heart of every man in the offlpe: "Express passed here.” Ordered Out Wrecking Crewe. They did nothing more. They sat down In the office and, unable to look at one another, awaited for tho ines- sage to come that would tell of loss of life—human beings crushed to death as they slept—a scene somewhere along the line of the Boston and Maine’s Con cord division of untold agony. It came finally, and they knew' that their worst fears had been realised. Even while the mes8<t H c whs clicking over the wires from Cunaan, they were ordering out wrecking crews and send ing for doctors and nurses. That was all they could do. Somebody had made a blunder; had wrlten one little figure when he meant to write another. LOOKED LIKE WHITE, BUT WAS W, H, GIBBS II. Glhbs, of Cherokee county, nml not Sam White, Is the name of the man whose body was found beneath an oak tree near the city dumping ground. Thursday morning. Sam White, a vet. eran railroad man, himself denied that he waa dead Saturday, although two of hl« friends, D. F, MeClatchey and D. F. McClatchey, Jr., of .Marietta, hatl al ready positively Identified Ills body ns It Iny In Barclay A Brandon - * under taking establishment. Mrs. Gibbs, of Marietta, Identified the body Sunday as that of her son. Tho mistake In Identity was due to nn extraordinary case of doubles. When Mr. MeClatchey,-8r.. who has known Sam White for a long time, heard of the death of a strange man he went to aid In the Identification. The body as It lay In the undertaking parlors could be none other than Sain White, he said. By two broken fingers, by a scar or. the knee and other mask*. as well as bv general appearance, ho recognized hl’s friend. To make perfectly sure, he sent for his son and without telling him anything of the matter led him Into the room. Mr. MeClatchey, Jr., was shocked to see the body of 8am White, his friend, lying on the stone. lie declared It could bo no other. Together tho MeClatchey* went to Marietta to break the news to the fam ily. Almost the first person they met was Sam White, looking much like the body at Barclay A Brandon’s, but nev ertheless hole and hearty. They were dumfounded. Mrs. Gibbs, also of Marietta, hearing of the unknown man. went to Barclay A Brandon’s and Identified the body us that of her son, W. H. Utbbs, who had been on a visit to her at Marietta, but had gone to Atlanta Friday and had not been seen afterward. TWENTY-SEVEN SLAIN IN VERMONT WRECK Continued From Page One, due to the mistake In placing a cipher after the three In the number of the train Instead of a four. Wrecked In Fog. The wreck occurred Just after the express had rounded a curve Into a straight stretch of track, but owing to the fog and early morning mist, neither engineer saw the other's head light until It was too late. The baggage car was hurled back Into the pasesnger conch and tore It asunder from end to end. Only a few wlnduws were broken In the smoking car. Tho Ill-fated passenger coach was crowded with more than fifty people. As the train was rounding a curve some one In the front of the car began to sing, so that nearly every one was awake whon the crash came. Those who were In the other cara recovered their dazed senses, jumped out to the side of the trnrk and hurried to the demolished passenger coach, where gronns, cries and ahrleks were rending the atr. The train hands, ably seconded by the passenger* from the sleeping cars, groped their way among the ruins and began the work of rescue. The bodies of the dead were laid beside the track quickly, while the resouers turned their attention to those who needed aid. Mangled Forms Resoued. .The bleeding and mangled forms were dragged out and laid on the backs of broken seats or upon blankets from the sleeping cars. Wounds were hasti ly bound up and cut* tanched by strips of bedding from the eteepers. The little band worked diligently In the dnwnlng light before the doctors came. Farmers lent every aid to the work of sucoor. Frank Ryan, a hrakeman on the ex' press, was enught In the wreck and had nn artery severed. He was uncon scious for nearly fifteen .lhlnutes, and when he regained his senses his first thought was qf the Montreal Express, which he knew was thundering down on the wreck with no flagman In the rear to wave a warning signal. In a few words Ryan told of the approach ing danger, and the Montreal Express was stopped only u quarter of a mile from the rear of the wrecked train. Crowds Visit Scans. As tho sun rose the full horror of the disaster became apparent. Along the side of the track lay the dead yet uncovered. A little further off were the living, some of thorn stretched on the ground with relatives and friends, but more otten total strangers binding up their wounds and encouraging them in the thought of a speedy medical aid. There were a comparatively few In that crowd of passengers who did not show some wound from the disaster. The scene of the accident waa thronged with people all day and the work of the train wreckers was Im peded. The track wns cleared finally In the afternoon, although several hun dred feet of rails had to be relatd. The rear of the express train slopped di rectly over a bridge over a small river, but fortunately the sleeper did not leave the track. Killed While Asleep. The express vis speeding along at SO miles an hour when the engineer, John E. Hallahan, saw the fiash of a head light ahead. He applied the brakes, but there was not the slightest chance to avert a craeh. The freight engineer, B. F. Hurtlelf. also put on the brakes; Then both engine crews leaped and escaped Injury. In an Instant the crash came. The engines, one on the excur sion and two on the freight, were tan gled together and destroyed. The bog. gage car was driven backward through tho day coach, telescoping It. Not one pc rson In that car escaped death or In jury. The next car was a smoker and here many were hurt. In the sleeper, which was of more substantial construction, no one was wounded. Ore side of the coach was ripped off. It was 1:24 In the morning when the accident happened. Tho passengers were asleep or nodding and some of those who perished passed from mortal tc eternal plumber without awakening. Boy Begins Singing. One of the Injured survivors said that -■me of the passengers bad been dis turbed by a hoy who began singing softly and that at that time a little party left the coach and went back to the smoker. "It was a procession from death to life," ho said, "‘for In another minute the trains had collided. The man I had been sitting with In the coach was killed." “For a minute,” said another passen ger. "there was no sound. Then we heard the cries of the Injured and aa speedily as possible, began to drag them from beneath the seats, wrecked side walls of the car and from tho heavy Iron work of the running parts. It. was a horrible sight as we put the victims In a row alongside the track; acme dead, some dying as the night waa breaking Into full day. "As rapidly as possible we bound up the injured with blankets and sheets taken from the sleepers. There was no tlmo to care for the dead and they were left there uncovered. Women Are Heroines. "Women who were able played the parts of heroines. After they had re covered from the first shock of the ac. cldcnt, they turned to and attended the Injured. No wound waa too revolting to turn them away from this task, and thus they labored for an hour until the physicians began to arrive." It waa a piteous spectabtu. There was hardly a person In the train but lost some member of his family or found a relative maimed In that awful row along the ditch. The bagage car had telescoped com pletely through the second car, cut ting It diagonally. At the end of the car a man hung with his head jammed between two timbers, his feet being three feet from the ground. He had apparently been thrown up when the timbers buckled and was caught at tho same Instant. Ha had been Instantly kllled. Taken Out Alive, One woman seemed to be Inextrica bly tangled by her lower limbs In the timbers. She walled piteously and kept asking If she would be gotten out olive. Some one gave her brandy and three ethers held her up while others chopped her loose. She was taken out alive and the doctors said .she stood a good chance of recovering. She was sand wiched In between two dead bodies, one above her with the fragments of a sc at between, and another Just beneath, with another seat separating It from her. Inalde the car-one of the passengers w as doing splendid work In getting out the dead and Injured. He got out an elderly woman who was badly crushed. Just beside her lay a two-months-old baby. The baby was finally rescued by rutting a hole through the timbers. It had hardly a scratch. Its mother was dead. The baby was given In charge of a sister of the mother. senger rates, and declared that this was done In order to deny the railway com panies any appeal from Its decisions. Governor Smith and Secretary Mont gomery will be served with notices of the action taken by the Central and the hearing of the cose will be resumed by Judge Newman on Monday, October 7.

For several days the two men had been loafing around the neighborhood, and when Policeman West arrested them he considered them merely ordi nary hoboes, who would probably get shout thirty days In Judge Calhoun's justice mill. But coming In on the car with his prisoners he began looking at their feel. The more he looked the more uneasy his prisoners became. It did not take Officer West long to de cide that the shoee were of tho last manufactured exclusively by Uncle Sam.
