FEARFUL ACCIDENT THE RESULT
„E A DENSE FOR.
MEN WERE GROUND TO ATOMS
Tyvcnty Were in tlie Gang, anil the Engine
Xhbatli Came Upon Them
Without Warning.
A special from Now York says: In
the gloom of smoke, steam and fog
that darkened the rails of the Penn¬
sylvania railroad early Friday morn¬
ing, between Jersey City and Harri-"
son, a belated suburban train dashed
into a gang of workmen, killing twelve
and injuring three. Five others had
remarkable escapes. All the victims
lived in Jersey City.
‘The accident happened abrut two
and a..half miles west of Jersey City,
just .beyond the Hackensack bridge
At that point, there are four tracks,
two devoted to paks.enger and two to
freight traffic. At the north arc the
tracks of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western, Foreman Quirck took
out a gang of nineteen men at 8 a. m.
, to repair the westbound freight track
at, that place. Quirk saw that the fog
might mean danger, for he sent ahead
two men, Lawless and Doherty, to
give warning of approaching trains.
Lawless was to go west and Doherty
east and cover all the tracks. They
were to shout warnings at the approach
of trains. The passenger tracks wore
kept busy with incoming suburban
trains and the smoke and steam from
these trains helped to make the atmos¬
phere more dense.
Suddenly, about 8:30, there was a
shout from Lawless, who was the ad-
vence guard of the gang. ‘‘Train on
No. 3!” cried he.
It was an east-bound freight train
that came along slowly,leaving behind
a heavy pall of smoke. The men who
were scattered along the track jumped
out of the way: Almost all of them
jumped over to track No. 1, the east-
bound passenger track.
The heavy smoke enveloped them,
and tlie men, many of them new hands
on the road, shivered with fright, for
they could not see and could scarcely
hear the approaching trains that fol¬
-
lowed the freight.
Lawless, too, had jumped across to
track No, 1, keeping all the time a
sharp lookout. Suddenly there was a
rumble of wheels and the shriek of a
whistle. - The Millstone local, delayed
by Kg, was coming along at the rate
of forty miles an hour. Lawless was
struck and thrown thirty feet away,
mangled and bleeding.
On went the train. Engineer Van
Nor.trarid had scarcely noticed the
man’s body flying through the air
when the engine struck Doheriy; then
it plunged into the mass of cowering
men who stood huddled together on
the track.
‘ ‘It ‘
was an awful sight,” said tho
engineer later. ‘‘There was a mass
of legs and arms and heads flying
through the air. I was drenched with
blood. I knew that something terri¬
ble had happened, and put oil the air
brakes as hard as possible.”
When the train came to a standstill
the passengers rushed out. The track
was drenched in blood. The meadows
and the track looked like a battlefield
covered with bodies. The shrieks of
the dying drowned the cries of the
horrified passengers. Women fainted
and men turned away in horror. Of
‘he nineteen men nine-were dea l and
six wounded.
Some one telephoned quickly to
Jersey City. Many of the bodies still
writhing in mortal agony were placed
on the train and borne to the city. 1
Three of the wounded died on the j
way. A relief train reached the city
later with the others. j j

MORE TROUBLE IN PANA.
Striking Miner* ami Negroes Have Fre¬

A special of Friday from Pana, Ill.,
says: The town has been kept in a
state of terror all evening by numer¬
ous encounters between negroes and
striking miners. Both are heavily
armed and use their ammunition
freely.
Sheriff Sid Watts, who was return¬
ing from the Springfield mine, where
he had been on duty, was shot from
ambush. The bullet took effect in
his right arm, which had to be ampu¬
tated.
A number of residences have been
pierced by bullets, and those who are
able to do so have sent their families
to the country. The principal streets
are patrolled by soldiers.
Captain Butler had a long conversa¬
tion by telephone with Governor
Tanner Friday evening, and it is said
more troops will be sent.
Desultory firing in every section of
the city continued throughout Thurs¬
day night, The terrorized citizens
huddled in groups were guarded by
heads of families heavily armed.
Quite a number of families left the
city and spent the night in the country
with friends.

Promptly at 10:30 o'clock Chairman
J- S. Menken, of the local committee,
called the convention to order. Mr.
M f nken s P oke briefly, and, among
other things, saidf
“Phis convention is made up of rep-
resentatives from the north, east, west
and south—all having one object in
view, the initiation of a broad ba-
sis of an effective national quarantine
controlled by tho government of the
United States. To formulate a plan
effectual, of action, which feasible, comprehensive and
can be quickly crys-
tallized into law, is the work to be ac-
eomplished. While quarantine is the
best known means of prevention at
present and the one which possesses
more completely the confidence of the
people, we all hope that science will
soon disclose the true cause and dis-
cover a general remedy for this un-
welcome exotic, rob it of its terrors
and inspire the public with confidence
and faith. Until that time arrives,
however, our hope and trust must he
in an effectual national quarantine.”
Mayor J. J. Williams delivered an
address of welcome and the conven-
tion proceeded to its organization.
At the suggestion of the local com-
dispensed temporary organization was
with and General Luke E.
Wright, of Tennessee, was unanimous-
ly named as permanent .president of

reservation submitted a verbial report

She gave her husband $3,000 Soule
time ago to set him up iu the bar bus-

since he has been in Savannah and has
made her numerous promises that he
would reform. For the last w-eek, in
spite of an oath he took before a jus-
Gee of the peace, lie has been drunk
most of the time.
Saturday night he left Mrs. tho keys to
the place at. his home. Bradley
found them, and with her baby, nine
months old,in her arms, went out about
3 ‘o’clock in the morning. She first
told the burglar-alarm people that they
need not come to the place, as she was
going in.
She went in, put her child on a
table and sat down for about half an
hour to deliberate, and theti took a
heavy bottle and smashed every piece

every drop of liquor, leaving nothing
hut the empty, shattered bar.

sayR : The movement of the

within ten days. The exact* date of

reports of Major General Greene, who
commands a division of the Seventh'

ness connected with garrisoning that
province, and of General Charles F.,
Humphrey and Colonel Hecker, of the
quartermaster’s* department. These

arrangements for the reception of the
troops, the quartermaster’s officers be-
engaged in the supervision of tho
construction of wharves and depots tc.
i be used by the army.
t’he occupation of Cienfuegos is also
receiving attention. General Snyder

lands in that province,
He will ho followed soon afterwards
'’J Major General NYilson and the
Firf,t corps. Nothing has been hoard
of the detachments of the Eighth cav-
airy, which sailed for Neuvttas and
Puerto Principe, but as there is no
telegraph communication with that
part of the is'and, no surprise is mani-
tested at the War department.
The conduct of the volunteer regi-
ments in Santiago province may result .
in a transfer of name of these troops
to corps where a more rigid discipline
can he enforced and where regiments
under command of general officers can
lie used to quell any disturbances of
