Steward Proves tria.
A atory of courage and heroism seldom
equalled Is told ' of benjamin Nichols,
steward' In the dining car.. When tha
terrible elide of tha engine dragged the
train whirling eldeways along tha road,
Nlchola was In the dining ar. ' He was
battered from one aide to another of the
car. Before the car1 had mad It last
' lurch Nlchola had leaped and waa running
toward tha amoker, which waa reduced to
a mass of twisted Iron . and . splinters.
-1 The craah 'had torn the escape valve from
the top of tha engine end the steam wa
pouring Into the car upon tha struggling
mass of smoking humanity.., The escaping
team waa the first thing that attracted
the plucky steward. Taking oft hla coat
he ripped and tora t,ha garment until It
wa in shreds. With thl he plugged up
the pip and- hut oft tha steam. Temporary
' relief was thus given the sufferer, Then:
climbing through a. broken window the
steward leaped Into the darkened car,
filled with the ateam. Tha crlea of tha
Injured made It confusing what to do.
Picking up tha flrat form at hand, Nlchola
carried It out Into tha open. Placing It
en the f rosen ground, Nichols re-entered
the car. By thl time other rescuers had
arrived. On by one ha handed out the
forms until five had been rescued. Then
he was forced to lesp to the ground, being
.exhausted and overcome by the heat and
(team.

In addition to the twelv who hava died
since being taken from the wreck, many
others are certain to be added to th num
ber of victims.. All have Inhaled the steam
and are Buffering Intensely. '
Lewis Helgoth, the conductor of the train,
wa In the eeond day coach when the
crash cam and no one knows juet how or
what happened to him until afterward.
D. W. Hills, porter on on Of the sleepers.
said that as aeon aa ha could get oft hla

shouting from the top of the bank. He
recognised Helgoth' voice. Ha wa la ter
rible agony, but shouted: "For Ood'a sake,
someon of you get a red lamp and flag 49
or she will bo on us."
'Even in the mental Buffering of everyone
about the scene, the bravery and thought-
fulness of the dying conductor waa suffi
cient to' bring Words of praise and com
mendation. , . . . .
Wedared la Like Sticks.
Forte Hills tailing of his experience.
said:'. "I, went to tha smoking car and be
gaii to get tha injured out The car waa
the moat awful scene I ever witnessed.
Men Wer Jammed Into all sorts of shapes.
They wera on top of each other and bur.
led under heapa of dirt and scat cushions.
When I tried to lift ona man out I found
other so tightly wedged Into tha same
place that several had to be aided at one
time. X got seven men out before I stopped
there." Tha dead wer badly bruised and
soma, of tha scalded wera in such a fear
ful ' condition that they ' would better be
dead. Borne of these had lost their eyes
entirely. The baggage and clothing of th
passengers was scattered all over the
ground. Some of It was soaked with biood
while In tha nllea of It could bo aeen pllea
of toys, telling the pathetic tale of Christ-
Bias shopping."
When asked If there would be any In
vestigation on the part 'of the railroad
officials Superintendent D. W. Duer said:
I don't think that an' Investigation ' la
necessary to explain this affair. It la all
too apparent" Pointing to half a doien
heaVy timbers under the dining coach, he
said: "There la the causa of It. An extra
westbound freight - ha dropped thosa
timber on th track and proceeded un
conscious of the trouble It had left behind."
PITTSBURO, Dao, M-When aeen today
after he had received a full report of the
Dawson accident. General Superintendent
William C. Loree of tha Baltimore at Ohio
said: , .
"While tho accident was deplorable In
tha extreme, yet tt Is a consolation to mek
peaking aa an official of the company, to
know that It .'caxnot be attributed to
negligence, of . any of our employes. A
wreck of this character I liable to happen
on any railroad having a double track.
While It waa lumbar that fell from a west
bound freight train that caused the acci
dent, yet any obstruction of a similar char
acter would have produced tha aam ter
rible result"
Englna No. IMS, which pulled tha ill-fated
train, la one of a number of new loco
motive of the Atlantic type recently placed
on tha Pittsburg division. It was tha larg
est type of paasenger engine In service on
tha road and capable of hauling a heavy
train at great apeed. It has been only In

old Baltimore at Ohio railroad engineers
pronounced It a wonder.

remain unidentified, wer bound for their

llxty Scalded to Death..
Superintendent B. W. Duer of the Pitts
burg division of th Baltimore A Ohio rail
road says sixty persona wer killed In last
night's wreck. Tha latest reports from
Connellsvllle places th total number of
dead at'alxty-four, but It la probable that
some of thoae named are Included In th
eleven unidentified vlctlma reported by th
railroad company.
"The sixty persons who lost their Uvea
laat night." aald Superintendent Duer,
"wer scalded to death by escaping ateam.
If th dome on the engine had hot broken
probably not more than two or three per
sons would have been killed. The damage
to th railroad property waa comparatively
light, considering th great loss of lite."
Tha railroad company did everything pos
sible to relieve th sufferings of th Injured
and no effort wa mad to repair the dam
age to the track until every dead and In
jured person had been taken from the
wreck.

STUDY OF COhN ROOT GROWTH
' ' ' "
Ames College Professor Prepare Ia-

, Exposition.
AMES, la., Dec. 54. (Special.)-Bom very
Interesting experimental work In corn roots,
conducted by 'Prof. W. H. Olln of th
Agronomy department fit, Iowa Bute, col
lege, has Just been completed. The object
of the test was to show foot growth-unobstructed,
by acreert r netting wire.
The work was undertaken at the sugges
tion of George 8. Forest of Mills, la., su
perintendent of th' tnwa aa-l-lniiltiiral Aim-
Slav at thai- Bt. T JMlim inmlllnii - Tha
mounted corn roots" will forta, part of the
Iowa display."-'7-1 '3J V' " ;
It waa decided '4o obtain roots in three
atagea of deyelomertuThe first waa to be a,
the time when fnrrnirs horln In vl,M tn
the temptation to Jet, Uie shovel down. The
vwu ni uue miukp eooui ipur or nv
week old from' the time oi Its appearance
Dove tne ground. - ,
The second root ia. from ihmii tho ,-'
selling 4tage, or when farmer usually lay
corn by.
Tha third la at thj jitaara vhan .
is formed oa th staik, when it is believed
that the root ia at, its maximum growth.
Considerable trouble waa experienced in
securing the roots without loss of any of
the tender rootlets. .This was done. by re
moving the dirt from the roots by waahlng
with a gentle spray. A trench was dug
about the roots at such a distance from
the stalk that there would be no danger of
cutting off th roots,. .Water was pumped
upon the roota with force enough to re
move the dirt In layers. As the roota were
uncovered they wera meaiuriwt in .!
and In location, both ways. A map or plat
waa kept of tha root arrangement on a
specially prepared paper. Every root waa
located on thla map, Its position being
platted exactly every three Inches In each
direction. When the trench was filled with
water and dirt It was, cleaned and th
process continued. .' .
Thl process gav excellent results, al
though It waa alow. It took one man one
week to wash out the rmita in h
stage, and to prepare tho third and largest
to lenuueu m weea s wont I or two men.
A the .root were exposed they were
wrapped in moint cloths and kept wet uqtil
mounted.
The roots were mounted on black wire.
By use of the plat every root and rootlet
wa placed In It normal position, as In the
ground. A large cubical box waa arranged
In which to keep each, root, the box being
adapted to the else of the roots. The stalk
was securely faelenrd lu the center of the
top, and the roota filled tha box. The box
was lined with black cloth and a clear
pane of glasa Inserted In the front, so It
could be photographed. Th plan waa car
ried out successfully, and the series give a
clear conception of (he process of root
growth.
The novelty of the plan, and the ad
vantage tt gives In Showing root growth
over the usual flat mount, make tha aeries
of three roots an Interesting fsctor In the
agricultural exhibit arranged for Iowa at

Though It bad been announced that thei
revision commission would reach a decision,
this evening there were few persons out.-;
side of the Ministry of Juwtlce, where the:
sitting of the commission were held. Indi

case la not aa keen as It ha been In the
past.- - - t -

Dreyfus received the news of the action
of. the commission through personal friend's
who extended to him their earnest con
gratulations, on- the victory. The public
was compelled to wait for It Information
until the regular edition of the evening
papera were published, a no extra editions
were issued.- The few persons who wer at
the- Ministry of Justice saw the members
of the revision commission depart shortly
after S o'clock, apparently glad that they
had completed their taskv There, was sbso
lute'unanlmlty among the members of the
commission. One member asserted that on
the fact presented as the result' of the In
vestigation made by Captnln Targe, an
officer on the staff of Minister of Waf An
dre, another revision of the case was made
possible. The details in , the report of the
commission have not been made public, but
It I atated generally that the production
of evidence which had not been submitted
to the court martial at Rehne and the
changing of 'testimony jon the part of some
witnesses before the court martial entirely
changed the view as 40 the guilt of Drey
fus,, brought about the decision of th com
mission to refer the case foe trial to a civil
tribunal. The submission of the. question
of revision to a commission la regarded In
France as a tactful move on. the part of the
government to jobtaln Judicial' aupport for
Its favorable' attitude " toward Dreyfus.
Moreover, a the proceedings of the. com
mission -will extend over four weeks, the
firs excitement disappeared and th people
had a chance to coolly consider the action
of the ministers. -
' Coort Will Give Doesmesli.
" Immediately upon the receipt of the re
port, of , the commission'" the government
jfflll transmit ; all , th.. documents , In Uja
case, to the. procurcur general of the court
cassation.' These documents 1hc1ud" th
modified testimony of M. Qrtbellri, tlie prin
cipal archivist' of the headquarters " taff,
who ,'at the court-martial at Rennes testi
fied that he believed Dreyfus was guilty of
treason but who haa now altered hla evi
dence, so ss to throw the blame upon
Colonel Henry.1 . '
The criminal branch of the court of cas
sation Is composed of sixteen members,
presided over by M. Loewe, who has par
ticipated In many of the most prominent
trial of recent year.
Many people are In doubt a to whether
thl court can deflnltehy decide the case of
Dreyfus' restoration to the army, some
authorities holding that under the law of
rehabilitation of the officer muat be de
termined by the council of war. A promi
nent .official Informed the Associated Press
correspondent tonight that he expected the
decision of the court would be accepted
a final. Dreyfus did not desire that his
new trial should be conducted by a civil
tribunal, as he was anxious to again go
before a court-martial. M. Morrtard, th
Parisian -lawyer who' represented Dreyfus
before th court of cassation, refused to
be Interviewed, but a- friend, speaking for
him, said that Dreyfus had asked to bs
judged by his peers and that he had not
changed his view. His counsel will again
demand a military judgment of the ease.
At the home of former Captain Dreyfus
the decision was expected and prepara
tions are now being made to convince th
court of his Innocence.
