RAILROAD WRECK

fcj . WHICH FOUR INDIANA PEOPLE ARE KILLED s RIGID INVESTIGATION Ml Be Made to Determine Who Was Responsible Brakeman and Conductor Blamed. (By Associated Press.) Chicago, 111., August 10. Four Inhna people, a mother and her three Sldreu, were killed and the father (1 a nuraer of other persons were fmislv in hired in a collision last Lht between a west-bound B. & O. al passenger train, known as Iso. and a Chicago & Erie freight iiin at the Brighton park railroad issin- at. Western avenue ana W est bity-ninth street. The dead are all mhers of the family ot t. Viwartz. of Garrett, Ind., and the ther was the only one of the family io escaped alive. The collision followed a irantic eit on the part of the crossing flag on to chamre the course of the Light train, the crew of which he d given a signal that all was clear ? them to back over the Baltimore Ohio tracks. The passenger train, nch was approacning rapiui, ao lick by the feright cars and two the coaches were overturned. 0 ne of the freight cars crashed ou-li the wood work of one of the iclies where the four who were led Were seated. They were the hwartz ; family .of . five. Although 1.' iinnna'iions and '.Tering frbm'''--bMrbkenr hones and uisesit is believed that the injurs of the father, C. C. Schwartz, will t prove fatal. The mother and the v children were killed instantly. A rigid investigation will be made determine who was responsible tor e accident. Coroner John E. Treaar, as soon as notified of the wreck, stened personally with a torce ot n to the scene to determine where U blame lies. LLate last night the police arrested hrry Moore, brakeman, and tfenjan F. Waller, conductor of the Light. train that caused the disaster. nllpv in his statement to the police elared that the. signalman in an adnincr tower was to blame for the tident, as he, according to Waller, .rthe signal for the freight to come ead, giving it the right of way. 'ter it had started he reversed the nal, but it was then too late to event the collision. MPEII POLITICS markable Evidences Said to Have Been Pound There. Recently Joseph Offord read a pa ir before the society for the encourbment of the Fine Arts, in which described what. must have been a knicipal election in Pompeii shortly fore, in 79 A. D., the ashes and lava Vesuvius overwhelmed it and Heraneum. It is the calims of canjlatjes that we read in these strange w long, unaecipneraDie inscnpuons the walls. It is the Pompeiian way announcing: "For Mayor, Michael Gracchus, the friend of labor." Ne of these placards are rudely r-i ' ' , ,i i mi pie. Dome are set ionn wun skui with embellishments. One of them itains a bit of street car health pd verse all painted in red. No s than our own candidates of today, bse of the year '79 were put forrd b 1 parties of supporters. There re tJe trades' interests. There s the money power to be vituperaton the stump. The spellbinders lressedas "Friends and fellowfizens of Pompeii," the woodeut- ' union, the fishers, the perfumers $7 dyers, the barbers and porters. explained to them what were their re rights of man and '.what were ir more glorious privileges as free

and united advocates of the six-hour day. And there w?ere faddists in those javs persons to whom South Boston would apply the epithet "bughouse." These were the long sleepers, the deep drinkers. They ran a candidatte in common who was solmenly pledged to the suppression of street noises and the chief plank in their platform was a club sandwich.

The heterogeneous religion of the city crept into politics. Venus was principally worshipped we know, but by the side of her temples were shrines to Isis and Horus and Anubis. And at this last election we hear of a minority party which in caucus assembled decided to call them selves the Isis passive resisters. They seemed to desire most or all represen tation on the police force. Home Coming Week. (Special to the Palladium.) Marysville, O., Aug. 10. This is "Home Coming week" at Marysville. Today's feature is the industrial parade. Senator Fairbanks, who was born in this county, will deliver the address tomorrow. The affair is nonpolitical. Many former residents are returning for a visit. RI OF C, G. & R. TO BE BUILT FIRST AND POWER TO BE OBTAINED FROM RICHMOND CO. Some Statements Made by Manager Wilson That Interest Richmond Readers. 4 Columbus, Ind., August 10 Charles N. Wilson, general manager of the Columbus, Greensburg & Richmond Traction company, has announced that the active work of building the road will not commence until next spring and that the road will not be in operation between this city and Richmond before late in the fall of 1906. He says that the twenty-four miles of road between Richmond and Connersville will be built first, and put in operation by Thanksgiving of 1905. The spring of 1906 will see the work started at Connersville and pushed on to Greensburg anl this city.

Reed Offers Much Praise. General Hugh T. Reed, brother of Frank I. Reed of this city, wrote Governor Durbin, as follows: "General Grant, Majors Liggett and Winship, Lieutenant Williams and myself were all delighted with the camp of the Indiana National Guard, with the soldierly appearance of the officers and men, and especially with the good work done at the encampment."

SUPT. "GORMON RETURNS HOME

BUT W. H. PICKENS WAS NOT WITH HIM COM PLICATIONS AROSE Pickens Released Before Arrival of Superintendent Gormon Warrant Had to he Changed. Superintendent Gormon has returned from Terre Haute without Pickens the owner of "999." Superintendent Gormon says that Pickens' attorney, named Hughes, went before the police judge and "had Pickens released on a writ of habeas corpus and the superintendent did not lay eyes on him. Attorney Hughes is holding $1,100 gate 'receipts. The Terre'.Haute Express of last evening has the following account of the affair: 'J,"'"W. II. Pickens and his 'dare-devil hired man'; who disappointed about five thousand people of this city Sunday afternoon, was in temporary relief from the enraged public by agreeing to make the '999' go against time at the fair ground, next Sunday, but it proved a case of 'out of the frying pan, etc. This complication results from the fact that Manager Pickens was arrested last night on instructions from the chief of police of Richmond, Ind., and sent to jail pending the arrival of the Richmond officers. When tlie message was received, Captain Beattie and Detective Smith went to the Terre Haute house and placed Pickens under arrest. Two weeks ago the two men.brought up at Richmond with; :ibjectt!iar . 1 bloody,, ma chine . and as they did in Terre Haute announced a 'terrible run' against time. A large crowd gathered, but the machine, they claimed, wouldn't work, and after keeping the crowd waiting for a couple of hours Xewkirk and Pickens announced that the run would not be made. Xo other explanation was made. The machine was attached to pay bills. Pickens is Released. "Pickens was released today and proceeded to repair his machine. He said '999' would be ready for a test Thursday, when he would invite the representatives of the press out to see it, and further stated that he would give the exhibition Sunday as he had promised. He says Xewkirk should not be blamed at all in the matter, as he is merely hired to run the machine. Pickens claims he is willing to take all of the criticism and declares that next Sunday he will vindicate himself before Terre Haute people. He says the Richmond incident was wholly unavoidable. There it was that the machine broke, and when the chief of police demanded that he pay the money back there were several hundred more dollars demanded than had been taken in. He refused to be robbed, he says, and engaged a lawyer and was ready to stand trial. Pickens' Warrant Changed. "The warrant for the arrest of W. II. Pickens, the manager of the automobile racer '999' who has been in trouble here for the last two days, was this morning found to be deficient in that it had no certificate attached and Sheriff Gormon of Richmond, who brought the warrant, has sworn out a fugitive warrant and at 2 o'clock this afternoon the court ordered that Pickens be brought into court for trial. At at late hour he had not made his appearance, but his attorneys claimed that when it was made plain that it was necessary to produce him he would appear in court.

Leap Year Entertainment. There will be no admission foe whatever charged to the leap year entertainment to be given at the Wesleyan M. E. church on South Tenth street Thursday evening, August 11, and everybody is welcome to attend Lunch and ice cream will be served. Professor Fiske Keeps House. The base insinuation that a man can not keep house is fully refuted in the case of Professor W. A. Fiske of the city high school. He can go all the paces of the most expert house keeper milk the cow, churn and all that, and it is fine butter, too, that he turns out. So let the story that a man can not keep house rest in the limbo of exploded and forgotten theories. SHPT. GARD AT MISHAWAKA THE MISSING SUPERINTENDENT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT AT HIS OLD HOME He Refuses to Make a Statement No Word Has Been Received Here Since He Left.

CATCH

THE DAYTON JAIL BREAKERS TAKEN IN f AT 3 THIS MORNING While Crossing Test's Bridge Arrest Made by Officer Edwards and a -Mr. Alteck. The Palladium yesterday gave the information that William Kickers and Frank Redmond (printed Redinghouse by mistake) had broken jail at Day ton and that th police of Richmond were notified to be on the lookout for them. As this city is the home of the young men, it was but natural that they should come this way, and plans were immediately outlined to give them a warm reception when they crossed the State line. All yesterday afternoon Superintendent Gormon had officers McXally and Hebble guard the south part of the city, along the river and south along the city limits. Then last evening Officer Edward and Mr. Alteck of Dayton, whose house the men robbed, took up picket duty in the vicinity of Test's bridge and kept anxious vigil until the wee sma' hours of this morning. Hidden from view the two men anxiously awaited what they felt sure would come, and at 3 o'clock this morning they were aroused by approaching footsteps. The pale moon shone brightly through the overhanging branches and soon revealed the forms of Riekers and Redmond stealthily making their way toward the bridge. At the proper moment the officer and Mr. Alteck stood at "present arms,'.' and demanded the men to "halt," which they promptlv did, and were placed under arrest and brought to the city jail. Riekers lives near Test's and it is the supposition of the officers that they were intent on going to Ricker's home, securing funds and something to eat and then start for South Dakota, where .they intended going. The two offenders were taken back to Dayton this morning. The catch is considered a good one and the officers are to be commended for the prompt arrest of the offenders. A reward of $100 each had been offered, and a big slice of this will come to the Metropolitan police force of this city. Horse and Buggy Stolen. Yesterday Lon Grose, of Cottage (Continued on 4th page.) HAG-ERSTOM HAN A Man Who Made His Own CofSa Now Fills It. Hagerstown, Ind.," August 10. John L.
