V..V York, June 14.-It was , hP the first swiin of the season * vening for Margret Hughes, ■•jj) years Oiu, a nurse in the Man- State hospital for the in- Ward’s island. So she other nurses there, janc- ‘•''‘1, kid , j i. tbe air and water seemed too ’ jVi :o tempt any of the others. At 6 o’clock Miss Hughes went the bathing pavillior. erected COLONEL’S TRAIN r STRIKES BOULlill m £^.355 dO'vn W , ^hich has been on the River beach opposite One Snared and First street for the j.'jses and hospital internes, ivirh her went six other nuraes, L of them Miss Ellie O’Rourke V'vho like Miss Hughes, had wn at the hospital for two years afi(i was her room-mate. Miss Hughes, the others wait- ;4*on the beach, went into , the iilion and put on her bathing Si. She stepped into the shal- ^ water, kicking it about with V^v t06S. ^ Its too cold/’'she saib* *Gome *r» ^ Fatticularly was the invitation 3dv.rcs-^ed to Miss O’Rourke, fi^ others said they could not Miss O'Rourke laughed. ' "Xot this early.” she said, i'li ireeze to death in that wat- ‘Tiie others watched Miss Hug- j-/; strike sturdily out. When S-i turned look and smile at rrem hey shouted to her, but d only shook her head and or,. ' The watching nurses grew an- xjyus. Miss Hughes bad chosen a i;oiirse not far north of the dan^aerous eddying currents of Heii Gate. Miss O’Rourke calm ed them: she said Miss Hughes was one of the best swinamers she had ever known. For 30 yards the girl swam on inioothiy. Then she raised her ri?ht arm toward the shore. Pain and weakness seemed to force it down. It went up again irantically and it flashed down again the girl’s head went too. Then it rose again. In a strain* ed voice, Miss Hughes cried the one work, “cramp.’' Every one of the six nurses standing on the beach started to tear off clothes and shoes. Miss 0’^>urke stopped them. “None of you can swim,” she said quickly, “I can. rU go.” Her white sweater came of? in an instant and then her shoes. Fearins: to lose time she sprang into the river in clin^tig skirt and petticoats. The tide drag ged Miss Hughes out rather swiftly. Miss O'Rourke did not reach her until both were out a fuii 50 yards. Miss Hughes in a panic, clasp ed the waist of the girl who had gone to aid her. Her hands j am- med down Miss O’Rourke’s skirt. Miss O’Rourke tried to slip this perilous grip and place her arm under the other’s shoulders. Miss Hughes relaxed her hold for just a moment and then clasped her arms around iier friend’s neck. Then the watchers on the shore saw them go down together. And though they gazed steadily for many minutes they did not see either come up again. Screaming then, they raced to ihe hospital. Superintendeni }^iiiiam Kiabom hurried to thf beach with four doctors. The:, rowed out swiftly in two boats, but there was no sign of either swimmer. At 6.45 the waves brought in the body of Miss Hughes to the crowd on the l^ch. Every me thod of resuscitation was employ ed but in vain. With grappling irons the doctors went out again. The police from Harbor squad A aided, but the body of Miss O'Rourke was not found. Miss O’Rourke’s sister and orother are employed in the hos pital. The home addresses of the girls could not be learned. Albany, N. Y., June 14.—A large boulder in the path of the train which is bearing Col. Theo dore ■ Roosovelt td Chicago^' brought his journey to an abmpt halt less than an hour after it be gan at 5;30 p. m. today. The train was traveling at a high rate of speed when two miles nortfe of T^rrytown it came to a sudden stop with a series of jiolts and the crunching of brakes. The acci dent fortunately was not a sieri- ous one, but it delayed the trains arrival an hour at Albany. The train reached here at 9:55 p. ra., and left for the West at 10:^ p. m. Ck>loael Roosevelt sat quietly in his stateroom during the halt down the river without coming out to Inquire the cause of the de lay. “I didn’t know what had hap pened untilit was all over,” he said. The damage from the accident was inflicted chiefly upon the lomomotive and the air brike equipment. The explanation of the.accident generally accepted w^as that the boulder was rolled on to the track by boys. The force of the blow was shown by the pilot or “cowcatcher” which was badly bent and t'wisted, one side of the heavy steel frame hav ing been wrenched back more than a foot. John McAuliffee the engineer, said the obstruction was struck as the train was passing through a cut. The locomotive had just rounded a curve so that he did not even get a glance of the rock and his first intimation of the Ac cident was the shock of impact. The stone or a fragment of it tore a gash in the hose conveying the compressed air, releasing the air and automatically "applying the brakes. The engineer said the boulder must have been at least two feet in diameter to work such havoc with the pilot. Instead of being hurled from the track, the stone passed under the loco.notive and the first six cars of the train bumped against the axles and brake beams and tossing bars a- bout. Although the passengers were not severely shaken the brake b^ams were bent and two of the brakeshoes were wrenched from place. Colonel Eoosevelt was in the third car w^ch buitSp ed over the boulder a second aft er it struck the pilot. We»ley £dwar^ Is Taken Keatuelqr. Campaign Song Writers Bai^. Chicago, June 14. —That a army of song writers has been busy in an effort to put forth pro ductions which will make cam paign hits is evidenced by the lact that daily about half a ton pi such material is distributed at headquarters of the various can didates. An extra man is kept busy at ^he rooms of each candidate dis- of the discarded music. A few titles of the inspiring ut3 that the song writers have putfforth are: “I^llyKound the Boys,” “Taf-fy, Taf^y, fresident.
