Altoona, Pa., July 4.—Flying like
the wind down a mine branch track
that runs from Puritan to Portage, just
before midnight last night, a runaway
mine car killed thirteen men and boys
and Injured several more. Tho car had
been left standing near Puritan lost
night when the mines closed and some
malicious person loosened the brakes
nnd permitted tho car to speed down
the Bharp Incline.
The disaster happened on what is
known as Martin's branch, a stretch
of tra?k four miles long. The car was
stopped one mile west of Portage, but
In tho short space of three miles thlr*
teen persons were killed.
The car crashed Into a number of
cars standing on tbo track and was
wrecked. An Investigation disclosed
tho mangled body of a man lying be
side the track. Going further another
body was found. Several hundred foot
up the Incline two bodies, horribly
mangled, wore lying on tho track. On,
and still on, the searchers went, and

Oyster Bay, July 4.—Thle wn. Oyster
Bny’« Fourth of July. A little thlnu
Ilk. lowering cloud, and occasional
shower, did not dampen tho ardor of
the hardy Long Islanders, who were
determined, rain or shine, to carry out
their program, and do honor to tho day
nnd the president.
Mr. Roosevelt was among the early
arrivals at th» grove In which tho cor.-
inonles were to toko place. He was
accompanied by Secretary Loob.
Promptly on time tho ccre.monlc« began
with a chorus of school children under
the direction of Rev. Warren A. Bos
nian. They sang the “Star Spangled
Banner" with fervor, nnd wore re
warded with hearty applause, which
wns led by the president.
Mr. Roosevelt was well guarded.
There was beside the eecret servlco
guard a platoon of uniformed police
men, who come over from Nassau, and
at least inn special deputy sheriffs mi
duty, so that there was no probability
of harm coming to tho distinguished
guest. -
The master of ceremonies wns form
er Sheriff Jerome Johnson, who Intro
duced Grand Bookman ns the man
upon whom liiul beer, conferred th-
honor of Introducing Mr. Roosevelt.
The president spoke extemporaneous
ly nnd was in his happiest vein. Ho
delivered a typical Fourth of July
speech, In which ho demonstrated tho
truth of the famous saying of Uncle Joe
Cannon, that "This country Is s h—I
of II siicr-ess.” He spoke of tho duties
of citizenship and tho virtues necessary
to keep tho United States In tho high
place among the family of nations sho
now holds.

Commissioners of Roads and Rev

Wednesday.
Tho county will corns to the aid of
Atlanta with a proposition which may
solve the Peachtree paving problem, to
which there has seemed to be no so
lution without a long wait of probably
• year.
At a lengthy and Important meeting
of the county commissioners, held
Wednesday morning, It waa decided
to make a proposition to the city that
If the city would furnish the money
for the actual cost of material the
county wduld resurface Peachtree
street from Kills to Sixth street, und
pavo this Important horoughfare from
Sixth to Fourteen streets, with hi-
tullthtc. Figures were given showing
t this pavement, which by all tl
sent was considered excellent,
laid for less than (1 n yard, or a
saving ot some 18,000, to tho city and
the tame to the property owners, mak
ing a saving of (18,000 In all, over
asphalt.
A full attendance of the r l ,mmlnnl,in
ert was present at tho meeting that
lasted for over two hoars. Attorney E.
M. Underwood, for tho Southern Bl-
tultthlc Company, from which tho
county purchased Its bltulithlc np.

Colonel Anderson Crlttolzee Counoll.
A long and at one Juncture rather
ardent discussion was brought ud At
the meeting when a committee of cltl
tens, composed of Malvern HUl, W. B.
Shropshire, 8. W. Wilkes and R.
Gann, brought before tho commission
ers tho matter of plnelng pavement
on Leo street from Gordon street to
tho city limits. Mr. Hill slated that
the road was In a poor condition, and
that chert seemed Inadequate for tho
heavy traffic which passed over this
much-used thoroughfare. He asked
that tho county lay another paving,
placing brick between the car tracks
and several feet on the sides.
Colonel Clifford Andorson next took
tho Boor and said; "I wish to nay
something at this time, ns there are a
number of the city councilmon present.
The I minty I- willing In cl,, Its part,
but It Is getting tired or fixing streets

will do nothing to keep them up."

that the city hod heavy expenses and
