Bill the Young Church People “’cre
Warned of Their Danger, and Did
Not Seem to Understand.
W’hen the CrashCnme.
"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-
ed internal injuries and Miss Stewart 3
bad fracture of the skull.
The bodies of the dead—Miss Dora
Bertsch, William Gilchrist, W. W.
, Lewis,- George Pashley and Leslie 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.Pash-
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 the 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 men 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 a lighting 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
balance.
t When 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 before 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 bell 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 coachers 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.
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 Francisco, 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.
Masons In Session.
New York, June 2.——The one hundred

Pownall, both of this city, being candi-
dates for the office. '

That California Catarrh Cure cures
catarrh; that it stops hawking and spit-
ting and the dropping into the throat;
that it cures the stuffed up feeling and
all the other irritating symptoms.
Here’s what one of them says, only
one, but remember, there are others:
Mrs. A. M. Bedford, 27 Stuart ave-
nue, N orwalk, says: “ Several mem-
bers of my family have used the Cali-
fornia Catarrh Cure, which was ob-
tained at Plaisted’s drug store, and we
think that it is a fine medicine. I find
it good to clear the head, and my
daughter Grace, has found it is invalu-
able in curing headaches, from which
she has suifered for a long time, never
having found anything that benefitted
her as this has done. My husband has
also used it for catarrh in the head and
throat, and we are all willing to speak
a good word for C. C. C., for we know
it is good.”
In cases of hay fever, C. C. C. gives
instant relief, and used in season will
entirely prevent the malady. Sold by

WATER CURE FOR CONVIOTS.
Novel Ending of the Strike In San Quenc
‘ - tin Prison. _
San Francisco, June 2,—The revolt of
convicts at San Quentin penitentiary
has been subdued by harsh measures,
and in place of the constant shrieking
and howling of the preceding days the
700 prisoners in the “bread and water”
gang now keep a sullen silence.
The state board of prison directors
authorized the warden to shoot down.
convicts if necessary to restore order,
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
that any man who continues to be un-
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 for 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
yard and began operations. “Kid al-
ley,” on the side of the prison which
contains 66 cells, was the scene of at-
tack by the ofiicers. 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 poked into 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.
THE WINTBRSTEEH TRIAL.
Witnesses Testify That \Vintersteen Said
That He “'ould Like to Kill \Valler.
Bloomsburg. Pa, June 2.——At the con-
tinuation of the trial of Lloyd S. Win-
ez‘steen on a charge of attempting mur-
der by exploding a dynamite bomb, W.
H. Snyder, a lawyer, swore that VVin-
tersteen told him that he would will-
ingly serve 20 years in the penitentiary
to put a bullet through Waller’s heart.
Theodore Conner, bookkeeper for the
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.
The prosecution is now putting in its
strongest testimony. and the, tilts be—
tween the attorneys are frequent and
sharp. It has been decided that James
Scarlet of Danville and District Attor-
ney G. S. Graham of Philadelphia will
address the jury for the. commonwealth
and Fred Ikler of Bloomsburg and A.
L. S. Shields of Philadelphia for the de-
fendant. The defense has 75 witnesses
to be heard.
Cat Cau’se'd the Fire.
New York, June 2.——Fire was discov-
ered about 1 a. m. at 110 Madison street
in the rooms occupied by John Flood.
The damage was trifling. A cat, a
canary and a lamp were instrumental
in setting the fire. The canary, r‘oost-
ing quietly in its cage in the kitchen
Window, was spied by the cat in the
course of its midnight prowlings, and
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.
