TEE TALLYHO EOEEOE

The Death IList May Yet Be S veiled to '

Twelve.

AUTOMATIC SIGNAL SILENT.

But the Young Church People Were
Warned of Their Danger, and Did
Not Seem to Understand.
When the Crash Came. A

Brooklyn, June 2.—Of the victims of
the collision between a Long Island
railroad train and a. tallyho at Valley
Stream, N. Y., Memorial day, five are
dead and'seven more may die. ' The
seven are at St. John’s hospital, and all
are in a critical condition. Four of
these have little chance of recovery.
They are Miss Clara L.‘ Stewart, Miss
Emma. Bertsch Lawrence K. Barnes
and McCormick. the driver.

Miss Bertsch and Miss Stewart have
only One chance of recovery. That lies
in an Operation. Miss Bertsch sustain-
edinternal injuries and Miss Stewart 3.
bad fracture of the skull.

The bodies of the dead—Miss Dora
Bertschp *‘William Gilchrist, W. W.
Lewis, George Pashley and Le'slie J.
Roberts—were brought to the Greene
avenue Baptist church from Valley
Stream by the pastor, the Rev. Dr.
Woelf-Kain. Six of the injured—Miss
Ray Stillman, Earl B. Barnes, Richard
H. Bates, Miss Edna Bulmer, Miss
Florence De Bedts and Miss Ella IPash-
ley—are out of danger.

What President Baldwin Says.

President Baldwin of the Long Island
railroad was not inclined to talk about
the accident. He said, however, that
he did not think that the railroad was
to blame, as tlie'coach had driven right
in front Of’ the train despite the warn-
ings of a half dozen persons. . He said
that he had personally examined the
scene of the accident and that the loco-
motive must have been in sight for
fully three minutes before the team
reached the crossing. The bell was
ringing, too, and he accounted for its
not being heard by the fact that the
coaching party from the Greene Aveune
Baptist church was making a great
deal of noise.

The young me n and women who were
killed or injured while on a pleasure
excursion were among the most active
best known and best liked in the
church. Four of them were killed with
the suddenness of ailighting flash, with
song, joke and merry laughter yet on
their lips. One other died when the
rescuers picked her broken body from
the ground. Sixteen others were man-
gled and bruised and shattered, so that
the lives of some of them hang in the

“’hen Death Came.

As the tallyho was bowling down the
broad Merrick road at Valley Stream,
about.15 miles from this city, the loco-
motive Of a fast express on the Montauk
division of the Long Island railroad
crashed into it fair in the center. The
two dozen coachers had scarcely a sec-
ond of warning. Their mangled bodies
were scattered over an eighth Of a mile
of railroad track befo1e the train could
be brought to a stop.

The only precaution that seems to
have been taken by the railroad com-
pany is an automatic electric hell that
is supposed to ring at the crossing upon
the approach of a train. It is said that
this bell is frequently out of order, and
some of the witnesses of yesterday’s
accident declare that it did not ring at
all upon the approach of the express.

A furniture van crossed the track
about 100 yards ahead. of the tallyho.
The driver of the van was seen sudden-
ly to whip up his horses as he struck
the track. He had seen the oncoming
train, and he jumped up from his seat
and waved his hands frantically to
warn the coacheis of their danger. Half
a dozen cyclists crossed the track just
ahead of the coach, and they shouted
and gesticulated to the driver. One of
them, a woman, fell in a dead faint aft—
er she saw the train and the tallyho
coming together. Apparently the driver
did not understand, or else it was too
late for him to pull up his six horses,
with the momentum the big coach had
attained.

Durrant In the Death Cell.

San Fi‘ancisco, June 2.—When Mur-
derer Durrant’s mother informed him
of the governor’s refusal to interfere
with the sentence, Durrant lost his self
control entirely and wept like a child.

. He was placed in the chamber of death,

as it is called, where he will remain
until the end. The announcement that
Mrs. Durrant would attend the execu-
tion has excited an extraordinary
amount of comment. She still main-
tains her determination to be near her
son when the final moment arrives.

San Francisco June 2. "—The revolt of
convicts at San Quentin penitentiary

and in place of the constant shrieking
and howling of the preceding days the

gang now keep a sullen silence.
; The state boaId _of prison directors
Iauthorized the warden to shoot down

and Governor Budd telephoned to the

' warden and gave him explicit instruc-

tions about handling the mutineers. He
told the warden to notify the convicts

ruly from this time will be denied the
right of restoration to citizenship and
that no mutineer who continues to hold
out need ever apply ror executive clem-
ency.

Ten extra guards Were employed and
placed on the prison walls for the night,
and gatling guns were got into position.
At 6 o’clock the captains went into the
yardand began operations.- “Kid al-
ley,” On the side of the prison which
contains 66 cells, was the scene of at—
tack by the officers. This alley contains
the boys and young men, and they
made the greatest amount of trouble
during the mutiny. When the officers
and guards appeared, they were cursed
and hooted‘as usual. ,

Each cell from which came a sound
was marked and the inmates taken out
and relieved of most of their clothes.
Captain Birlem then ordered out the fire
hose. The nozzle was pokedinto the
wicket of each cell and the convicts
were thoroughly drenched. This oper—
ation was continued until 8 o’clock, and
finally the yelling and cursing ceased.

tinuation of the trial of Lloyd S. Win—

ingly serve 20 years in the penitentiary
to put a bullet through Waller’s heart.

Keystone Manufacturing company, of

which Wintersteen is a director, cor-

roborated Snyder.

I. D. White, a merchant of Blooms-
burg and former _manager of the
Bloomsburg store in which Wintersteen
was one of the employees, swore that
the defendant said that he would like
to meet Waller in a dark alley and kill
him.

strongest testimony, and the tilts be-
tween the attorneys are frequent and
sharp. It has been decided that James

and that he was knocked down, dis-
armed and driven'off. The department
officials say they have no doubt that

ton, it is said, will be rigorously prose-
outed.

ing quietly in its cage in the kitchen

after climbing up to the window sill he
made a flying leap for the bird, upset-
ting a lamp on the way, which in turn
ignited the curtains.
