Aroused by the murder by burglura of Harry F. Smith iu his line borne in the east end, the east end board of trade appointed a vigilance committee, Instructing its members to shoot first and ask questions afterward.

The petitions alleged that the Standard Oil company of New Jersey owns and controls all the stock of these four companies except an amount sufficient to maintain a directorate and a corporate existence iu Ohio. It is further alleged that the controi of these companies is exercised In restraint of trade and in contravention of the antitrust laws of the state. onic State—Some Hot Times Arc Promised, A man who gave his name as Charles Buclnl was arrested suspected of being the murderer of Smith. Buclnl hud been shot through the right hand, and It Is supposed that he was wounded by Smith and dropped the revolver which Is now In the possession of the police. Engineer Joslyn. of the latter train, jumped for his life, and landed out of harm's way as the engines came together. Fireman Taylor was shoveling coal into the firebox. He was not aware of his plight until the crash came. The engine was thrown back on top of the tender a mass of misshapen Iron. Taylor was caught between both sections of the locomotive and was frightfully squeezed. He was taken out with difficulty and brought to the Emergency hospital. Though. •In connection with the hottest kind of a political fight for the Democratic nomination for city .offices there will be sharp ward contests throughout the city. February will'be an important election day for ward offices, as well as for municipal offices. In the evennumbered wards practically a full corps of representatives to the different bodies will be chosen, while in all the odd numbered wards the choice will be confined to the election of one school controller. The deputy sheriffs have so far failed to locate Daniel Corrigan, of the Fourth ward of Luzerne borough, Owen Flynn of the North district of Hanover Township, or Squire McKelvy of Hazle Townshop. The officers are still on the hunt and they expect to lancl their men if they are in the United States. City Terror Stricken. The engineer of the freight train on instructions received at McCool, lnd., waited at a siding at Bubcock, lnd., to allow the Immigrant train to pass. The quick rising tide of crime has appalled the stoutest, and the city is terror stricken at night and actually cowers before the attacks in broad daylight as well as after dark of thugs, burglars, highwaymen and murderers of every description. With a record of not fewer than a hundred acts of outlawry on the streets of Pittsburg within the past three weeks, increased in an astounding way In one day. the police and detective staff admitted their helplessness, and Mayor Outhrie appealed to the council for help. The response was immediate, all other business being laid aside. Oil Trust Files Demurrer. Chicago. Nov. IS.—Formal demurrer was tiled In the United States district court by the Standard Oil company 'Df Indiana to the Indictments against It in which the company is charged with rebating. The indictments against the oil company, which were returne 1 some weeks ago, contain 6,(KM) counts. The passenger train carried two coaches both comfortably filled. Whe" the crash occurred the occupants of both cars were thrown from their seats and landed sprawling In the aisles. A panic reignod for several minutes until the exact extent of the collision was made known. While none of the passengers was hurt, many of them were seriousiy shaken up and nil suffered from shock. One report is that the engineer of the freight train hud not been informed that the passenger train was running In two sections. The other is that the first section of the passenger train car ried 110 lights or signals of auy kiud indicating that a second section wits close behind. As soon as the first section of the immigrant train had passed the switch at Babcock the freight train, in charge of Engineer Burke and Conductor Moste, started eastward. There is a rumor that the judges of the courts are thinking seriously of Impaneling a special grand Jury and have the election cases disposed of. If this is done there will possibly be a special term of Criminal Court in December, so that District Attorney Jones can try the cases. The judges nre more determined than * ever to fully Investigate the outrageous and flagrant frauds. GENERAL WILLIAM R. SHAFTER. A. Schafer was called for consultation. Intestinal obstruction was discovered, but it was determined that this was a secondary affliction brought on by an acute attack of pneumonia. San Francisco physicians were summoned, but their efforts were unavailing. Few of the ward fights have taken shape as yet. Numerous candidates are scurrying through their districts trying to estimate their strength for a contest for councilman or a place on the board of control. The period of elimination is yet to come, and It will be a month hence before all the contests will assume definite shape. There will be one or more ward contests on in nearly every ward of the city. These will no doubt have some effect on the scramble for the larger offices. The term* of thrf following ward representatives will expire In the Spring, and the vacancies will be voted on in February: CHURCH COUNCIL MEETS ON WEST SIDE It was some time before the wreck was cleared.
