day afternoon.
The engines are a maps of ruins, the
rrasenger conches were telescoped,
"' two part'y fe'esooped. while the smo
, ker went over the basgage car and
' landed In a cornfield.
The Big Four people had asked the
rifiht oT way over the Cincinnati. Hamilton-
& Dayton trac:k3 because of a
freight wreck at Sharon, O. ,and the
train was bowling along at approxi
mately fifty miles an hour. It is said
that the engineers of two trains did
not see each other's engine until too
close for the accident. Orders had
' been given it was said for "clear track
'for the Big Four train," which left
Dayton ten minutes behind time about
'pne o'clock and which was trying to
make up the lost time.
The two engines crashed with ter
rific Impact. - The massive engines
fooi-lniT nn IIVp Hvln; thinsrs then
crashed into and through the cars of
' both trains. As soon as news of the
collision was received In Cincinnati
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
officials sent a train to the scene with
Cincinnati -fhyslclana and nurses.
Railroad officials of both roads also
went to the scene. At the same time
Middleton and Dayton rushed as
sistance and the people of Middletown
turned out almost en masse to ren
der what assistance they could.
When the engines crashed one of
the steel monsters crushed through
the combination baggage and smoking
car and day coach which was large
ly filled with women and. children. It
was some minutes before a move at
rescue work could be started, as the
crews as well as passengers -were
tossed about. When those too able
reached the upturned cars they found
dead and Injured persons lying near
, or pinned under the heavy wreckage.
Within a few minutes 11 bodies had'
been . removed. Some of them were
females, for the coach was what is
known as the ladies' ar reserved es
pecially for the women and children.
While the dead were being removed
willing hands were working with
might and under distressing clrcum
' stances. The shrieks of irjuredj some

as -it hissed from battered engines,

veyed to ih station at Hamilton and
' here the scenes were heartreudlng.
Crowds of men and women thronged
'around the building, many In search
of relatives or friends they knew were
on the train.
The Twentieth Century train was
In charge of Conductor Weaver. The
freiarht in charee of Pilot Wald. had
orders to meet the flyer at 1:07 at
Coast Town. In advance of the, regular
engine of the flyer was a Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton pilot engine in
charge of engineer,- fireman and Con-
v ductor Lange. The Big Four train
was. in charge of Conductor Thomas
Maloney. It is thought the fact that
the Twentieth Century Limited was
late was the main cause of the acci
dent with having left Dayton ten min
utes late the effort was being made to
regain that lost time. The freight
was on the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
for a clear track at 1:07 p. m. When
that time arrived she pulled out on
,the main line but was scarcely under
headway when the flyer flashed into
view and crashed into It. There was
. practically no chance for either en
gineer to reverse levers before the
crash came.

MRS. PHEDUM'S GUESTS DISCUSS THE GOOD OLD SUMMER
TIME
ROOSEVELT AKD TAFT MEET
FORMER EXECUTIVE CALLS ON
PRESIDENT AT BEVERLY.
Maintain Secrecy Concerning What
Passed Between Them In Con
ferenceMarked With
Cordiality.
Beverly, Mass. A smile spread over
the face of President Taft Thursday
afternoon as he hurriedly left his work
In the library of the Burgess Point
cottage and rushed to the veranda
when the Lodge llmouBlne drove up,
the "honk honk" of which was an
nouncing the arrival of former Presi
dent Roosevelt,
They met Just outside the door and
simultaneously Taft clapped a hand on
the Roosevelt shoulder as Roosevelt
seized the president's band in a strong
grip.
"Mr. President," exclalmrd the one;
and "Theodore," cried the other.
"By George," continued Roosevelt,
"this is fine. 1 am mighty glad to see
you, Mr. President."
Thus, after a separation of sixteen
months, Taft and Roosevelt met again,
atthe Taft cottage here In Bevrly,
with only Senator Lodge and Secre
tary Norton present, all tho rest of
the world being barred out.
Those who witnessed the meeting
say it was characterized by all the
old-time cordiality of relations be
tween the two that there was the
best of feeling displayed and that
the hearty bursts of laughter that pro
ceeded first from tho president and
then ffOm Roosevelt as they 6at on
the veranda and chatted for two hours
and a half, was strongly reminiscent
of tho old White House days.
In a long Interview with Chairman
Martin A. Knapp of the commission
Friday President Taft went exhaustive
ly Into the provisions of the new law
and later, In conversation with callers,
he earnestly pointed out that there
need be no apprehension that the com
mission will run amuck or that the
new law will be used to club Indiscrim
inately all railroads that propose an
advance in rates.
The law, the president pointed out,
was not passed for the purpose of
lowering rates, or even of holding all
rates where they are at the time of
the passage of the law, but rather for
the purpose of equalizing rates.
RAIL RATES ARE LOWERED
Interstate Commerce Commission
Takes Action In Cases Affect
ing the Entire Country.
Washington. Reductions In class
and commodities on all shipments
west from Chicago to the Pacific
coast were ordered Wednesday by the
Interstate commerce commission.
The commission decided that the cap
ital Invested In railroad property and
betterments did not justify the ad
vance In rates to the point marked In
the new schedules filed by the rail
roads. The decisions are in what are
known popularly as the Pacific coast
cases. These cases were beard last
autumn by the commission on Us six
weeks' trip to the Pacific coast and
intermountaln territory and bad been
under consideration ever since then.
In every instance reductions In the
existing rates were made.

nated with success in the varsity
eight.
With her stroke oar all but col
lapsed, Yale crossed the lino at thu
New London bridge four lengths be
hind the Cambridge crew.
For three and a half mllos tho shells
sped down the river almost abreast,
first one and then another forging
slightly ahead. Harvard was nearly a
length ahead at the two-mile point
and her bow showed In front for the
greater part of the way, but time and
again a gallant spurt brought the New
Haven shell on even terms. Not until
the boats entered the final quarter
mile stretch did the Crimson look like
a winner.
Harvard's victories were the most
decisive that ever marked the open
ing of her annual rowing regatta with
Yale. The Crimson freshman eight
oared crew beat tho youngsters from
New Haven by throe lengths, and the
Haptard.. 'varsity four bettered this
performance a little later by rowing
away from Yale In the last eighth
mile of a surprising race and finish
ing four lengths in the lead.

GIF JUSTICE FULLER B
Aged Jurist Passes Away Suddenly
at Sorrento, Maine.
Bar Harbor, Me. Chief Justice Mel
ville W. Fuller of the United States
Supreme court died from heart failure
at his summer home In Sorrento at
six o'clock Monday mornfng.
The death of the chief magistrate
was unexpected, as he had been In
fairly good health lately, and there
had been no premonitory symptoms of
any kind of trouble. Sunday he at
tended ,-fhurch as usual, and when he
retired at night he was to all appear
ances In his customary health.
Death came about six o'clock Mon
day morning. His daughter, Mrs. Na
thaniel Francis, and , Rev. James E.
Freeman, who was a feuest of Justice
Fuller's at his Sorrento cottage,
"Main Stay," were with the Jurist
when he died.
The funeral services will be held at
Sorrento and he Interment will be at
Chicago.
For many years the chief Justice
had spent his summers at Sorrento, a
summer colony located on French
man's bay. "five miles from Bar Har
bor. A Great American.
To Chief Justice Fuller fell the
honor of third rank for length of serv
ice as presiding Justice in the highest
tribunal of the American government.
For 22 years he was chief Justice
of the Supreme court of the United
States. Chief Justice Marshall pre
sided over tho court for 34 years and
Chief Justice Taney for 28 years.
With the future rests the determina
tion of his rank among the eight
chief justices or history for ability and
accomplishments.
Before Grover Cleveland sent his
name to the senate on April 30, 1888,
for confirmation as chief Juatlce, he
was practically unknown except to
members of the legal profession. In
Maine, where he was born on Febru
ary 11, 1833, he had been known as
a well-behaved, rather scholarly lad.
He had gone to Bowdoln college, and,
Incidentally, there won most of the
prizes for elocution. He had gone
down to Harvard law school for one
year.
His Great Argument.
From 1856 to 1888 he lived In. Chi
cago, but attracted little attention out
lide his Immediate circle of friends
and associates at the bar until he
undertook the defense of Bishop
Cheney on a charge of heresy. His
knowledge of ecclesiastical history
and procedure astonished those who
conducted the case, and his argument
of the cause of the bishop before the
supreme court of Illinois Is referred to
still as a forensic effort seldom If ever
surpassed In that court.
He was a delegate to the national
conventlona of the Democratic party
In 1804, 1872, 1870 and 1880.
The nomination of Mr. Fuller, then
fifty-five years of age, was followed by j
a memorable contest In the senate.
Inducing a Sneeze.
Probably everybody has exp ri
triced the displeasure, If not actual
pain, which comes from missing a
sneeze. There is an easy way out of
this if one happens to be out of doors
at the time an dthe weather Is clear.
Just glance at the sun. There is some
thing about the brightness of It that
supplies the missing Irritation, or
whatever it Is that is needed, and nine
times out of ten If tho sneeze has not
got too far a ay It will come back.
New York Sun.
N - s;v , - ':; ,
The Judiciary committee, with Its
Republican majority, to which the
nomination was sent April 30, held
up the appointment until July 20.
Then the committee reported It to the
senate "without recommendation."
For three hours that body debated
In executive session whether to con
firm or reject the nomination. The
attack on Mr. Fuller was led by Sena
tors Edmunds, Evarts and Stewart.
Senators Cullom and Farwell defend
ed him.
The reports that ho had been a
"copperhead" during the Civil war
and that be did not possess the re
quisite ability aa a lawyer were gone
over.
His Great Victory.
Finally, by a vote of 41 to 20, his
nomination was confirmed.
Since that day the entire court, as
it then existed has passed away with
the single exception of Justice Har
lan. Of those prominent In the fight
over his confirmation only Senator
Cullom remains, and President Cleve
land, who thus honored the Illlnohi
lawyer, has thus gone to his grave.
Throughout his service Chief Jus
tice Fuller was noted for the dignity
with which he filled the position. He
preserved that manner on tho bench
or oft
Although small of stature, not more
than five feet seven Inches, hU wealth
of silvery hair and classic features
made him a commanding figure wher
ever he appeared.
Chief Justice Fuller leaves an in-
dellblo stamp on the laws of the coun
try. Among his most famous opinions
are. the following:
His Famous Decisions. ;
Tho Income tax decision, in which
the income tax law was held to bo un
constitutional. The Danbury hat case, by which la
bor unions were held to be amenable
to the Sherman anti-trust law.
The Western Union Telegraph com
pany versus the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, in which the state was
denied the right to tax telegraph mes
sages, except when Interstate,
The Bank of Washington versus
Hume, in which the insurable Interest
of the wife and children In the life
of the husband and father was recog
nized as distinguished from the claims
of creditors.
Inman versus South Carolina Rail-
wny company, in which the railroad
was denied the power to exempt it
self from liability for its negligence
in the shipment of goods.
Moore versus Crawford, In which
married women were made to bear lia
bilities, such as those growing out of
the fraudulent salo of land, as well as
the legal rights.
Leisy versus Haddin, in which the
state wns denied rights over original
packages of liquor In Interstate com
merce, an opinion which led to the
passage of tho Wilson liquor law.
Climatic Differences.
On the coast of southeastern Alaska
the average annual precipitation is
about ninety inches and trees grow
to a large size; in the central plateau,
tho precipitation is less than fifteen
inches, including the melted snow
and the average size of timber la
small; while on the arctic slope, north
of Rocky mountains, climatic condi
tions make forest growht altoge-her
impossible, and those vast tundras are
covered chiefly with moss, sedres and
a few small shrub.

Reno, Nev. Jack Johnson showed
that he Is clearly entitled to he called
the greatest heavy we'ht fig'iter In
the history of the prize ring when he
knocked James J. JolTrics cut in the
fifteen round of their encounter In
the nrena here. A most remarkable
knockout it wns. Near tho close of
the round Johnson put In a Ml to
Jeff's Jaw and followed it with a right.
This wns right near Jeff's own corner.
The former champion staggered to the
floor of the ring and ns he rolled over
the bell sounded. This, if noticed by
the ring ofTlcials, would have given
Jeff a chance to rest for the minute
interval between rounds, but appar
ently everybody, princitais, referee,
timekeepers, seconds and advisers had
lost their heads and the bout went on.
Johnsen, setting himself r.a Jeff arose.
pounced on htm again and pounded
him across tho ring. Again and aain
he sent Jelf to tho floor and through
the ropes In almost the same sj:ot. Jim
Corbett, Abe Attell, Roper Cornell and
lion Armstrong boosted the Eemi-con-sclous
Jeff to his feet, but Johnson
wns there once more and smr.shed him
a right to the Jaw that sent him down
for keeps.
Jeff did not lose consciousness. Ho

pointed man on whom the agony of
defeat was written In lines more

strongly than pen can portray.
As soon as it was seen that the most
sensational contest of prize ring his
tory was over there was a scramble
for the ring. From every side the
crowd surged forward and climbing
over seats and benches they swarmed
within the ropes. Jef :, bleeding from
a score of cuts and bruises, sat in his
corner trying to understand what hia
seconds and other friends were telling'
him.
"What's that?" was the burden of
his conversation, as he gazed about.
"Cheer up, Jim." said Corbett, "you
did tho best you could."
"Not a lot was it?" said Jeff a few
minutes later.
Jeff rested a few mlnuteB before he
was able to steady himself enough to
make his way out of the ring and to
the room where his handlers took hold
of him and brough him back to condi
tion; ;
In the mcnntlme, tho police, the
deputy sheriffs and the special con-
stables were having a hard time of it
trying to clear the ring. Chief Burke;
of the Reno force hustled men off thej
platform right and left. The deputies!
and constables helped and soon the.
platform was quite clear. About a'
dozen men, with big wild west re-,
volvers, formed a guard around John
son aa he left tho ring to go to his
quarters. There was not a sign of hos
tility toward the black as he worked
his way along one of the runways lead- .
lng from the ring, In fact it was ap
parent that his victory was neither a
surprise nor a disappointment to a big
crowd who watched the fight. As a
whole the fight was a very sorry
spectacle. Jeff never showed from the
start enough speed or skill. He did
not attempt to box with the negro.
