Freight Train Plunges Into Midst of 2,700 People AT JOHNSTOWN STATION. Train Dashes Around a Curve a Short DUtauoe Above the Depot Compelling All to Flee for Their Live Catche Five Unfortunates. As the result of an accident at the Pennsylvania railroad station at Johnstown, Pa., Wednesday morning, when a freight train plunged into a crowd of 2,700 people waiting to board an excursion train bound for Altoona to spend the day, five persons were injured, two of whom are dead and two probably fatally injured. The dead: Luther Begley, aged IS months, son of J. C. Begley of Winbers; Frank Urbach, aged 13 years, son of Frank Urbach, Sr., of Upper Yoder. The injured: James Begley, editor of the Winbers Journal, bruised, cut and suffering from concussion of brain; has not regained consciousness; Annie Begley, wife of James C. Begley, leg badly crushed, amputated at hospital; FORT AT AMOY probably fatal; Frank Urbach, Sr., of I'pter Yoder township, bruised and cut. It was the occasion of the annual outing of the A. O. U. V., and a crowd of over 2,700 persons had gathered to take excursion trains for Altoona. The first section had just stopped in front of the depot and a general rush for the train was in progress when a fast freight dashed around the curve a short distance from the station. A wild scene followed in the scramble for places of safety, but before all could get out of the way the freight train was upon them, catching those above mentioned. The injured were removed to a hospital. Fifteen Drown in Flood. Fifteen lives are known to have been lost in a cloudburst at Coleman, Tex., Monday. Ten bodies were recovered, but only two were identified. They are: Joseph Späth, leading merchant of the village; John Fuleisstine. It is feared that many more lives were lost in the valley below Coleman. The cloudburst, which followed three days of unprecedented rainfall, caused Ford's creek to burst its banks and rush through Coleman, a village of less than 1,000 inhabitants. Bewildered citizens roused from their slumbers ran into the streets and were swept away. Many were saved by catching hold of pieces of timber and navigating them into eddies formed by the swift current, whence they were drawn ashore. Hold Joliet Milt by Force. The minority stockholders of the Joliet Wire company, assisted by Deputy Sheriff Blair and a force of men sworn in as deputies, are still in possession of the big plant in Joliet, 111. They declare they will keep possession unless driven out by orders of the courts and operate the mill during the coming year. They hold that the first election, held before the arrival of the Chicago stockholders, was the legal one. Mr. Minnemeyer said that no attempt would be made by himself and the majority stockholders to secure possession of the mill by force, but that injunction proceedings would be started as soon as their attorneys could prepare the necessary proceedings. Mob Chinaman at Fontl Iu l.ac. Chauncey Richards, a well-known young man, started a Chinese "boxer" riot of his own at Fon Du Lac, Wis. He met Sun Wah, a laundryman, and expostulated with him very forcibly for the massacre of the foreigners in Pekin. Sun Wah knew enough English to attempt to talk about it and Richards drew a revolver and fired two shots at him. Sun Wah was only slightly injured and he fled in terror, but was caught by a crowd and used roughly before the police arrived to protect him. Richards was locked up and the magistrate fixed his bonds at $1,000. Sun Wah is sleeping in the 6tation for safety. MctjSovern Deteats Erne. Terry McGovern defeated Frank Erne of Buffalo inside of three rounds at Madison Square Garden, New York, Monday night. The conditions of the fight were not favorable to Erne. The contest was limited to ten rounds, in which Erne had agreed to knock Terry out within the limit or lose the fight. The handicap was a bad one for Erne.

Denies Boers Will Emlgrat Charles D. Pierce, consul-general of the Orange Free State, at New York, said: "My attention having been called to a statement that 10,060 or more Boers are about to emigrate from the South African Republic and the Orange Free State to the United States, I wish to state in the most emphatic language possible that there is not one word of truth in such statement. Stories of that kind emanate from British sources, to make it appear in America that the Boers are discouraged and that the war is about over, but I say 'No.' The Boers are as determined today as they ever were tl.at they will gain their independence from British rule, and everything points in that direction. I have the most encouraging news from the republics. The British have lost 60,000 men, and their weekly average of losses is now from 1,500 to 1,800 men, killed in battle, taken prisoners, invalided home or died from disease."
