DIE IN AN EXPLOSION,

THIRTY ARE KILLED IN RAILROAD DISASTER. Pennsylvania Passenger Engine Hits Cars Loaded with Dynamite Locomotive Boiler Explodes, Coaches Blown to Pieces and Many Persons Killed. The western express on the Pennsylvania Railroad, known as the Cleveland-Cincinnati Express, crashed into a freight train which contained two cars of dynamite early Thursday morning at South Harrisburg, Pa., and the explosions that followed brought death to thirty persons and grave injuries to perhaps one hundred more. The passengers numbered ICO and nearly everyone wns killed or inju:ed. Both trains were piled in a mas3 of wreckage which at once took fire. The flames from the blazing mass were so fierce that rescuers ?o hurried to the spot attracted by the noise of the explosion were unable to approach the pyre of the dead and injured. Following the crash of the wreck, three distinct explosions were heard. The spread of the flames caused several later blasts, adding to the fierceness of the blaze and increasing the number of casualties. As the smoke relied from the wreck the forms of men and women could be seen beneath the timbers which had formed the passenger cars, and their cries for help were piteous. The train wa3 running as the second section of the west bound express, which left Xew York at 5:55 p. m., and the first section of which passed through Harrisburg at midnight. The second and fated section was running nearly an hour behind the regular express. The title of the train was the Cleveland and Cincinnati express, but at Tittsburg certain cars were made up again for the Chicago train. Canse of the Wreck. The wreck was caused by a smaller wreck to the freight train, which was east bound. Passing the plant of the Paxtang Electric Company, near Cedar street,- an air hose of the freight burst and several cars in the middle of the train buckled up and fell across the passenger tracks at the side. Almost at the same moment the express train, with ten coaches, dashed along and plunged into the wrecked freight cars. The boiler of the passenger locomotive blew up and the concussion caused the immediate explosion of the two cars of dynamite in the freight. The force of the collision crushed all the passenger cars, which piled up in a huge mass with those of the freight. Instantly the two trains were masses of flames. With the crash the passengers, all of whom were asleep in their berths, were hurled in all directions. Many were tossed free of the wreckage, some down the railroad embankment, some into the Susquehanna river, which parallels the railroad In that locality. All who were not pinned in the debris or wholly incapacitated ran away from the burning mass, which kept exploding and scattering debris like a volcano. It was Impossible for those who escaped uninjured to reach the imprisoned passengers, whose cries rent the air for blocks. As soon as some of the dead and injured were reached they were laid In rows along the tracks. The passenger train, which was entirely demolished or burned, had consisted of one locomotive, torn to pieces when the explosion occurred; six Pullman sleeping coaches, two baggage cars, one mail coach and one engine tender. The first explosion heard wss that of the boiler of the passenger locomotive. This was followed by a terrific noise when the dynamite car went up. The car was Xo. 713S3 of the Erie railroad and had a cargo of 5,000 pounds of dynamite. Soon after the wreck many negroes and foreigners were on the scene searching for loot. M'KINLEY TOMB TO BE COSTLY Memorial Association Decides on a Mausoleum Worth $500,000.

PRESIDENT SN CHICAGO. Receives a Hearty Welcome in StrikeBound City. President Roosevelt arrived ia Chicago at noon Wednesday. A hearty welcome was extended him as he stepped off the presidential train at the Xorthwestern station, fresh from his extended hunting trip in the West. Gov. Deneen, Mayor Dunne, delegations from the Merchants, the Hamilton and the Iroquois clubs, a committee of Aldermen and other city ofBcials extended a greeting. Admission to the railway station, where the presidential train pulled up, was by card only, yet those authorized to be present almost crowded the place. President Roosevelt shook hands with Gov. Deneen and those who met him at the train steps. Immediately the visitor was escorted to a carriage to be taken to the Auditorium Annex, where a suite of rooms had been provided for the President's party. The President was a guest in the city for twelve and a half hours. In almost all of that time he was entertained at some function. Thousands of people were prevented from crowding into the station by a strong police guard. Long before the train arrived 150 policemen were

PRESIDENT EOOSEVELT.

distributed about the station. Besides these there was a detachment of cavalry from the First Illinois, which with the police acted as an escort in the procession to the hotel. Besides the regular United States secret service men who accompany the President eight picked men were detailed by the police department. The streets through which the President's carriage drove were lined with police and men in uniform and plain clothes mingled with the crowds everywhere. There were 450 policemen along the drive from the Xorthwestern station to the Auditorium and an equal number in the parade from the hotel to the Hamilton club. In addition to these there were over fifty detectives who followed the President's carriage and watched the crowds closely for any disturbers. Having arrived at the hotel the President went almost immediately to the dining room, where ICO members and guests of the Merchants Club awaited him. The luncheon followed. The President was a figure in the strike situation in Chicago. In the afternoon he received and responded to a written appeal handed to him by the labor leaders. In the evening he referred to the strike in a speech at the Iroquois Club banquet. In response to the appeal presented to him personally by President Shea of the teamsters, the President urged respct for law and order. He deprecated certain phrasing of the appeal and expressed a wish the labor leaders had not referred to federal troops as likely to be sent to Chicago. Speaking at the Iroquois Club banquet at night. President Roosevelt declared mob rule would never triumph in this country. He made a personal application of this assertion by turning to Mayor Dunne and telling him that behind te city administration stood the State. Then speaking to Gov. Deneen, he assured him that back of the State stood the nataion. President Roosevelt also gave the trusts and corporations his attention. He declared th federal government must take control cf corporations, and strongly advocated the passage of a law conferring on some executive body the power of supervision and regulation of the great corporations. Speaking of mob rule, the President said: "There need not be the slightest apprehension in the hearts of the most timid that ever mob spirit will triumph in this country. If ever the need arises, back of the city stands the State and back of the State stands the nation." Other important paragraphs from President Roosevelt's speech follow: We must recognize that the time has now come when It is essential in the interests of the public that there should be exercised a power of supervision a cd regulation over the railroads In the Interests of the public. ; Personally I believe that the Federal government must take an Increasing control over corporations. I hope there will be no halt In the steady process of assuming such national control. The first step toward it should be the adoption of a law conferring on some executive body the power of Increased supervision and regulation of the great corporations engaged primarily In Interstate commerce of the railroads. I have not the least anticipation of Chicago's ever reversing that most complimentary vote which I so deeply appreciated last year. It will never have the chance. I wanted Congress to give me power t remodel the Panama Canal Commission. It did not do lt. L remodeled it anyhow. The corporation that Is, organized 'capital and unions that Is, organized labor, must alike be held to be peculiarly responsible to the public at large, and from each alike we have the right to demand not only obedience to the law, but service to the public. I believe la a big navy, but I hope that I need not say that I believe In It not as a provocative of war, but as a guarantee of peace. We have not the choice as to whether this country will play a great part in this world; we cannot help playing a great part. All we can do Is to decide whether we will play It well or 111. We cannot abandon our position on the Monroe Doctrine. W cannot abandon the Panama canal.

WIND DEALS DEATH.

OKLAHOMA CYCLONE CAUSES AWFUL HAVOC Entire Town of Snyder Reported to Have Been Swept Away by Furions Tornado -Death List May Reach lOO or More. Approximately S00 persons were killed or injured by a tornado which struck the town of Snyder at 11 o'clock Wednesday night. The first news of the disaster was received at Hobart, O. T.f by telephone giving a bald statement of the tornado having struck the town. The wires, both telegraphic and telephonic, were down and no further news could be obtained directly from Snyder. It is reported that bodies are scattered all over the streets and surrounding country. The storm struck the town from the southwest, traveling north until about 100 yards from the Oklahoma City and Western railway track. Then it took a northeasterly course through the business portion of the town. Xorth of the track not a building was left standing. Snyder was credited with 2,500 inhabitants, in Kiowa county, Oklahoma, in the Kiowa and Comanche Indian country, opened to white settlnent in 1901. The town was laid out largely by the St. Louis and San Francisco railway at the junction of two of it3 lines, and the company erected important buildings there. Snyder is the divisional point for the Quanah division of the road. The town was named after Bryan Snyder, passenger traffic manager of the system. Xews was received in Guthrie from the 'Frisco station agent at Mountain Park, Kiowa couuty, a neighboring town of Snyder, to the effect that the town is reported to be only partially destroyed, but that the list of dead will total something between one and two hundred. This agent, whose name could not be learned, made a personal visit to Snyder, where he observed the details of the calamity. Rumors to the effect that other towns in southwestern Oklahoma were destroyed were declared by the telephone exchanges to be incorrect. The news of the terrible disaster came In meager bulletins from Hobart and Anadarko. Snyder is practically wiped out. The 'Frisco Railroad sent a relief train from Chickasha to Snyder, with all the doctors and nurses that could be found, to render whatever aid possible. The storm broke over the town at 11 o'clock at night, completely demolishing it, as near as reports can be obtained. One of the killed was J. M. Egan, agent of the 'Frisco at Snyder. He was formerly superintendent of telegraph for the 'Frisco system, and was one of the best-known telegraphers in the West Snyder is a town of 1,000 people in Kiowa County, on the 'Frisco Railroad, and came Into existence about three years ago. A tornado struck the town of Quinlan, in Woodward County, in ths northeastern part of Oklahoma. It destroyed a number of dwellings and killed two small sons of Mrs. O. W. Cox. MOSQUITO A STATE PROBLEM. New Jersey Will Spend $1,000,000 to Fight the Insect. Xew Jersey is ready to tackle the mosquito as a State problem, a mosquito destroying bill having been passed by the lower house of the State Legislature. It appropriates State aid to the amount of $1,000 a year for first and second class cities and $500 a year in all other municipalities having marsh lands in which mftsquitoes breed. First and second class cities are to bear SO per cent and the other municipalities CO per cent of the cost of these battles against mosquitoes within their borders. The State will supply the balance, up to the limit of $1,000 for each first and second class cities and $500 each for the smaller municipalities. If all the mosquito infected communities apply for State aid this year, the total expenditure may run anywhere from $75,000 to $200,000, and this will represent only about one-fourth of the whole amonnt to be expended. The balance will be borne by the separate municipalities. Two practical methods are proposed for fighting mosquitoes.
