The scene after the accident is sickening. Bodies had been hurled on every side. it was after midnight before all the dead had been collected and placed on a special train to be brought to the city. Several of the bodies were ground to pulp. As the injured were taken from under the debris and while the physi cians were affording relief, Catholic priests were administering the last rites to the dying. A Later Report. The list of the dead as the result ; of the appalling wreck at Terra Cotta • on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, J had reached 47 at noon to-day. Inquiry at the various hospitals of the city, where the injured have been taken, shows a number "of persons whose condition is regarded as hope less. List of Dead Fifty-Three. The number of dead ast he result ! of the Terra Cotta wreck, according to the police this afternoon, reached . fifty-three. Two Stories of The Cause. , Two stories are being told by the friends of those who will naturally be implicated. It is said that the local train, No. j 66, from Frederick, entered the block with a clear track. Two green lights | were then set on the signal tower, showing that the block was occupied. At the Takoma station, near the I center of the block, it is said the day operator had tied down white signals showing a clear track and left his station. \ At this indication, the engineer of the "dead" train crowded on all the steam and forged ahead at a tremen dous speed in the dark and foggy night and on 2. slippery track. It was only a few minutes until the huge engine of the "dead" train plung ed into the rear of the local, just pull ing out of Terra Cotta. Operator Phillips, at Takoma, denies that his signals were white. He de-' clares he was at his post and that red signals were set showing the tracks , were occupied. He was much aston -1 ished to see the "dead" train rush ! past and expected it to slow down and back up. Instead, he heard of the ac | cident in a few minutes. FUNERAL OF CASSETT. ! Without Ostentation or Display The Remains of Pennsylvania Railroad's President Was Laid to Rest. Philadelphia, Pa., December 31. — With services as simple as the rites of the Protestant Episcopal Church 1 would permit of the remains of Alex ander J. Cassett. president of the Pennsylvania railroad were laid to rest 1 in the graveyard of the pretty subur- j II ban church of Dedemer at Brynmawr. I Following out the desire of the great j raidroad president and those of the widow, only a small number of rela tives and friends were present as the body was lowered into the gravel. The services at the home of Mr. Cas satt, were as quiet as thope at the grave. TO INCREASE SALARIES. ■ An Increase of 05 Per Cent in Con gressional Salaries is Most Likely. Washington, Dec. 31.—The sub-com mittee of the Senate committee on eppropriations, has considered the question of increasing the salaries of senators and members of the House. It now seems probable that the sub committee will recommend an ad ' vance of 50 per cent on congressional salaries. Receivers Ousted. Mobile, Ala., Dec. 31. F. D. Dewey and J .L. Dantzler, recently appointed ' receivers of the Mobile, Jackson and 1 Kansas City Railroad were, ousted ' from possesion of the property on an ' order from Chancery court. The action superseding the action \ Dec. 26 was due to*the fact that the > application for appeal was made to the 1 supreme court. f The old management. which was t ousted Wednesday has again assumed f charge of the property, t 3 DATE OF H,*iMGING. s Raleigh, Dec. 31.—Governor Glenn • to-day set February the Bth as the day • for the hanging of Frank Bohanan. at Greensboro, and of J.

LIFE THREVTENED .or m PUBLIC Mdlle. Sari Fedak Obliged to Flee from Budapesth to Escape Vengeful Crowds Who Hold Her Responsible For Suicide of a Popular Dramatist — Her Rapacious Demands Forced Paul Widor into Bankruptcy, and When She Refused Him Assistance He Took His Own Life —Mob Stormed The Actress' Home and Threatened Her With Death, and Managers Throughout Hungary Have Closed Their Theatres Against Her. From a Staff Correspondent. Budapesth, December 5. —Never, per haps. in the history of the modern stage has any actress brought down upon herself such general execration as that which is now being displayed against Sari Fedak, one of the best known and most beautiful women on the Hungarian stage. Mdlle. Fedak has just fled from Bu dapesth in terror of her life, angry crowds having stormed her house and threatened her with death if she fell into their hands. The cause of this feeling against the actress is the re cent suicide of Paul Widor. a widely known and popular Hungarian dra matist, who recently engaged Mdlle. Fedak to appear in a new piece of hi-3 at. the Imperial Theatre, Budapesth. The play did not attract, largely, it is said, on acount of the poor perform ance of Sari Fedak in the principal role, but in spite of this, the actress insisted on her contract being carried out to the letter. This action on Mdlle. Fedak's part plunged W T idor into serious financial difficulties. He could not pay the rent of the theatre due at the beginning of this month and feeling unable to face the situation, he shot himself. Since Widor's death, it has leaked out that he appealed to Sari Fedak to help him. and she not only refused, but made preparations to take over the theatre herself when the crash came. The feeling among Budapesth people is almost indescrible. Not only was the actress' life in positive danger so long as she remained in Budapesth, but all managers of theatres in the Hungarian capital have decided not to allow her to appear on their stages, and many provincial managers have taken a similar step. Accordingly, Sari Fedak has felt compelled to an nounce that she has closed her career as a prcfesional actress. Incredulous. Andrew Carnegie once attended ser vice in a colored church. ' The deacons took up a collection, but, through hospitable motives, avoid ed passing the box to the white visi tor. The old pastor preached a ser mon that was at the same time elo quent, earnest and ridiculous, and his description of the poverty of the church was so impressive that when the dea cons passed the contribution boxes, Mr. Carnegie interceputed one and dropped a fifty dolar bil in the box. The old preacher counted their contents. When he had finished he placed a handful of small change on one side and a crisp greenback on the other. Clearing his throat he said: "Breddern, we has been greatly bless ed by dis yer contebution. We has heah fo' dollars and fo'ty cents; dat is good; an' if de fifty dollah bill put in bv the white gemman wid re gray whiskers j is also good, we is blessed a whole lot jmoab," and he looked suspiciously at I the giver of libraries and campaign ; funds. —Michigan Christian Herald. Oyster Patties. About one-half pounti of puff pastry will be required for the patties, which 1 must be rolled out till it is about half an inch thick. Stamp it out in rounds about the size of a wineglass; make a ring in the center with a small cut ter, but do not press it far in. Bake the cases in a quick oven till they are a delicate brown; then carefully re move the marked center and save it to lay on the top of the patty when done. Put two dozen oysters and their liquor into a saucepan. Let them just reach boiling point; then take them at once from the fire. Strain off the liquor and save it. Beard the oysters and cut each in three pieces. Melt two and one-half ounces of butter in a pan, tir in two ounces of flour; then add one pint of milk and the oyster liquor and let it boil. Add to it a little lem on juice and a pinch of cayenne. When the sause is quite thick add the oys ters. Fill the cases with the mixture, put on the little tops of pastry and they are ready to serve.

C. ;BRAVE ENGINEER KIILEDJ WRECK Bad Wreck on Seaboard Sat urday Night Near Wades boro in Which One En i gineer Loses his Life Wreck Due to Flagman. Wadesboro, N. C.. December 31. — ; i A heavy collision occured Saturday I night at 10 o'clock, one mile east of > Peachland in which S. B. Maxwell, of - Raleigh lost his life. Engineer Max- I well's legs were caught between the i tender and the engine, and for four s hours he remained in this condition. I When taken from the wreck his left I foot was burned off, the right leg and 5 left arm broken. He remained con- I scious up to ten minutes before his death. There were two firemen on ttte engine, one of them had his breast bone broken. Drs. J. O. Covington, Ashe, Ross and Bennett were at the ■ scene of the wreck in one hour after i it happened. An incompetent flagman i and a short crew on the freight wa% i the cause of the accident. I The wreck might have been much t more serious but for the fact that En* i gineer Maxwell remained on his engine to the last in an effort to stop his - train. When he had done all he could r and did try to leave his place it was I tco late. The crash came just as he I was stepping out and he was caught s between the engine and tender and - completely wedged in. The negro flagman, who is blamed ■ for the wreck is said to have been . a green hand. The freight had orders i to take the siding at Peachland, south . of Polkton, but before reaching that I point broke down. It w?.s gnown * that No. 39. a passenger train was [ following the freight and the regular 5 flagman was sent back to protect the I rear. The negro was sent ahead to hold up No. 32, north bound. But he t failed to do this. He claims that his I light went out and that he did not t know how to relight his lantern. So ; the engineer saw no signal to stop > and the first intimation he had of . danger was from the light of the t freight engine standing on the main > track just ahead of him. t He succeeded in slowing his train » down to about 15 miles an hour. It . would seem that the crew of the pas > senger would have known that they 5 were to pass the freight at Peachland > and not having dono- so would have , been on the lookout for danger. They ; evidently had orders to pass the pas > senger following the freight at Polk , ton, and where they expected to get i by the freight after passihg Peachland , is a mystery. The wreck was a bad one in every r way. The engines were badly torn up and many freight cars demolished and The mail and express cars were splintered and the postal and - express clerks had narrow escapes. w CASE FOR PARDON. - Peculiar Situation Resulting Because The Jury aid not Understand the •- Law. * Columbia, S. C.. Dec. 29—Among the cases which will be presented to " the board of pardons when it meets next month is that of Levy Manigault, i which is rather peculiar. In the peti tion which has been sent to the gover , nor it is stated that Levy Manigault. a Charleston youth. 21 years of age, ' was tried for murder and that the jury 9 returned a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to the mercy of the j court. Under the South Carolina law . a verdict of murder carries with it the L death penalty but a verdict of murder 5 with recommendation to mercy carries \ life imprisonment, the judge having no t discretion in either case. As coon as j the sentence was pronouncsd upon .Manigault the jurors said to the de fendant's attorney, so the petition states, that they had returned the ver dict under a misapprehension of the ' law and that they did not mean to give J the youth so long a punishment, that , they intended to give a verdict of manslaughter, which may be from two to 20 years, in the discretion of the judge. This point was made in the argument for new trial before the pre siding judge and the statement of all " 12 jurors to that effect was presented. This statement, signed by the jurors, 1 accompanies the petition. Judgd Dant r. zler refused a new trial and said that it was a matter for executive clemency I so the petition has been addressed to I the governor and by him will be re * ferred to the Board of Pardons. POPULIST WILL NOT DISBAND. r Kansas Organization Refuses Lead ~ ers' Plea to Join Republican Party. 1- Topeka, Kans., Dec. 29. —The Pop i, iiHst leaders called here by State 1 Chairman Hanna to disband and join ihe Republican party, declined to do so Hanna pleaded with his brethren i- and insisted that Roosevelt was a s gcod enough Populist for him, but the 1 two dozen leaders said it was too early to disband a party that had twice carried Kansas. It is said that Wiliam J. Bryan, who addressed the State teachers v here advised the Populists to main tain their organization. -Who Was Assailant? Pittsburg, Dec. 31. —W. S.

Three Policemen Supposed to Have Been Lost Land Safely. New York, December 29 —After a night spent amid the biting cold and the ice in the wide reaches of Jamaica bay the three police castaways who have been missing since 7 o'clock yes terday morning from the Carnarsie Station were rescued by a relief party this morning. The police launch was sent out ear ly yesterday morning on a special , thief hunt, and it seems that it was | making good progress until something . went wrong with her machinery and 1 the boat began to drift. Finally she ; got into an ice jam and was frozen in ; hard and fast. The three policemen were obliged to use their oars to bat ter a way for the launch. It was te dious work, and it seemed an age be fore the gain made by this method was apparent, but the exercise kept the blood in circulation, preventing freez ing. It was early this morning when the three men were able to get on land. They landed on the West Meadows, and the first thing they did was to make their way to a telephone station in order to tell the world that they were very much alive. DEEMS JAP WAR IMPOSSIBLE. Count Witte Says it Would Be Disas trous to Japan 2nd Russia. St. Petersburg, December 29. —Count , Witte in a conversation with friends expresses the opinion that war with Japan is impossible, that it would be disastrous for the two countries, and especially for Japan, whose finances are in a precarious condition. - He considers fear of new and unex pected aggression on the part of the Japanese to be rediculous, for they would be completely discretited in the eyes of Europe and American, but he advises the immediate removal of all misunderstandings and the conclusion of an entente cordiale which would be especially profitable to Russia in the Far East. He recognizes it is right that the public in Russia should be keut informed as to progress of pour parlers with Japan. A syndicate of Russian and foreign capitalists has formed a company to work gold mines discovered in East ern Siberia. WONT ADMIT BETROTHAL. Mrs. Bowland Ccx and F. Burton Har rison Silent. Cannes, December 29.—Neither Mrs. Rowland Cox nor Francis Murton Har rison, of New York, will confirm or deny their reported engagement. The report doubtless arose from the fact that Mrs. Cox has been seen frequently of late with Mr. Harrison and his mother, Mrs. Burton Harrison. Mrs. Cox by the way, was not divorc ed by Rowland Cox, as she it was who obtained a divorce some time ago in the courts of New York. For a month past Mrs. Cox has been stopping with her mother and her sis ter, Mrs. Henry Judson and Miss Jud son at the Hotel de la Californie. She will leave to-morrow with them for Paris. BRYAN IS IN THE RACE. Virtually Admits That He Will Be a Presidential Candidate —His Signifi cant Statement —Says the Nomina tion is a High Honor That no Ameri can Citizen Should Decline Topeka, Kansas, December 29. —In an interview today William J. Bryan virtually admitted that he would be a candidate for the Presidential nomi nation before the next Democratic Na tional Convention. "While I have not yet announced that I r/ould be a candidate," said Mr. Bryan, "I have not stated that I would not be a candidate. Such a high honor as the Presidential nomination is something that no American citizen should decline." Mr. Bryan said there was no founda tion for the story to the effect that he would, if nominated, favor the se lection of Senator William J. Stone, of Missouri, as chairman of the Demo cratic National committee.
