Commanded Respect After Calumny The west bound Black Diamond, the Lehigh Valley railroad's premier express, was involved In a serious collision last evening at Pittston Junction. The express train caused the wreck by crashing into the side of an east bound freight train. However, the express train escaped with the least Injury, none of its passengers or crew being injured, and the train damage being confined to the engine. Unfortunately the same was not the case with the freight train and crew, Harry Dampman, flagman on the freight, being fatally injured. Three of the cars in the freight train were demolished. That more loss of life gineer of the express. When the trains were brought to a standstill and the express backed out of the wreckage, it was found that the only damage suffered by the express was to the engine, one of the big type, No. 2001. The pilot had been smashed and the fore part of the engine slightly damaged, but it was in working order. None of the cars had been damaged. As far as could be learned none of the passengers of the train had been injured, save for an unusually severe "jolting. The three last cars and caboose of the freight had been badly Wrecked.

The anthracite operators' committee had only this to say: operators that Intervention by third parties in the settlement of the hard coal situation will be motg unwelcome, and that they and the l*iners should be permitted to work out the labor problem now confronting them, with' out outside influences. The operators. in making these expressions, refer to the indicated intervention of President Roosevelt, when the time arrives, and it is evident that the miners will lay down tools on April 1.

The end came peacefully. .Miss Anthony had been unconscious practically all of the time for more than twenty-four hours, and her death had been almost momentarily expected. Washington, March 13.—Mr. TUhnnn addressed the senate in reply to President Roosevelt's message concerning the Tillman-Gillespie resolution instructing the interstate commerce commission to make an examination of railroad discriminations in the matter of hauling coal and oil.

Nor may it claim Immunity, as the beef trust has been claiming it, because of evidence given by any one or derived from any source. Such in effect Is the important and far reaching decision given by the United States supreme court in two cases, the so called "tobacco trust" and "paper trust" eases. "Mr. Baer received this morning Mr. Mitchell's acknowledgment of the answer made by the operators' committee to the propositions made by the committee on behalf of the anthracite mine, workers with advice that the same be submitted to the miners' committee as soon as possible." * Dr. M.

She liad had serious valvular heart trouble for the last six or seven The message, which condemns the resolution on the ground that itn purpose was not speeltic, was sent to the desk by Mr. Tillman and was reread. The president after signing the resolu tiou asked that additional legislaticfci lie entered into to make it effective. The operators state that Ihey submitted to intervention tbree years ago and abided by the award of a strike commission, with the hope that it would establish relations that would be continued for not only three years but a longer period of time. Since the miners are not apparently willing to continue under the commission's award, the operators state that intervention would be purposeless, as it cannot offer a more effective mode of settlement than it did three years ago. None of the anthracite operators would talk personally as to the possibility of further negotiations. The original Idea was that the miners' committee of seven should send its demands to the operators, after" "which the anthracite operators' committee of or injury was not caused is remarkable. The collision occurred at a spot where great havoc might be wrought. The fact' that trains .are required to cross the Lackawanna railroad tracks at Pittston Junction at a moderate speed is probably accountable for the limited damage, as the Diamond was running at light speed. Traffic was hindered for several hours. The express train passes through Pittston at 4:55 but does not stop. the least Main IJno Traffic Kosomo-d This decision is accepted by the adijiinlstration ;is of the greatest importance In its prosecution of the trust*.

By the use of the single track on the south side of the bridge, the east bound Black Diamond express, which was due shortly after the collision. was able to pass, after a brief "I deprecate the necessity of criticising this most extraordinary document," said Mr. Tillman.

The presidents of the coal carrying companies meet this afternoon at 143 Scene of the Collision, delay The collision occurred at the east end of the railroad bridge which crosses the Lackawanna river ,a short distance north of Pittston Junction. It is a dangerous spot. Directly at the east end of the bridge is the junction of the mountain cut-off tracks and the main line. All trains for tlio cut-off branch cross the bridge and then take the switch for the cut-oft tracks. The express which caused the collision was about 10 or 15 minutes late, and the collision occurred shortly after 5 o'clock. The freight train having come to the main line, it was necessary to have it cross over the west bound track in order to reach the cut-off track. Had the west bound express been on time the freight would have waited for It to pass and would have had plenty of time to get out of the way of the east bound CHILD ARE ACCUSED OF THEFT.

The allegation is that they took goods from the store of Jonas Long's Sons, corner of Lackawanna and Wyming avenues. The arrests were made in the store at 5 o'clock last evening and the women were searched with the result that in all 23 articles were found on their persons. The names of the women: Mrs. Patrick Council. of Mill street, this city; Mrs. Frank Brown, of Parke street, West Pittston; Mrs. Louis Bachman, of Wilkesbarre. The members of the Long firm and the officers in their employ have been keeping a close watch of late to try and discover a number of shoplifters, who have been playing havoc with several different kinds of removable goods. The firm has, as is the case with every large firm, suffered continually from tfie depredations' of daylight thieves, who carried off many articles, yet always evaded the vigilance of the employes.
