When au aalo bus, owned by the Hartman Company, of West Pittston. was struck by a Lackawanna engine on the crossing west of Franklin street, that plaee. at S-.SO o'clock, last night, Henry ]\lcGavin. aged 22 years, the driver of the bus, received in¬ juries tliat are espected to prove fatal, and Mrs. C. M. Conway, the only passenger, was also seriously but not fatally in.iured. The bus was about totally demolished.
.McGavin is a married man and a resident of Fourth street, Pittston. -MfTS. Conway is the wife of the pastor of the Luzerue avenue Baptist Chureh. at West Pittston. It is believed that she reccivefi   a   fracture   of   the   skull.
i Woman Was Lone Passenger
The accident hanpened as the bus was just completing a trip from Pittston to West; Pittston. l\lrs. Conway boarded the vehicle about two blocks from where it was to frtart on its return trip to Pittston in order to assure herself of a seat. Had the accident oc¬ curred on the return trip of the bus. many lives would probably have iieen  lost beeause of the big  traffic  between  West  Pittston
I and Pittston at that time of the   night.
i l'ntil 8 o'clock each night, the   tracks  of    the     Lackawanna
I Railroad near Frankliu street are guarded by a watchman.      He
I was just after leaving his post when the bus attempted to cross the

., I Drs. C. W. Prevost and Underwood  were immediately summoned.
^! Both victims were treated anJ huiried to their homes.
Death Seemed Certain
Latest reports received by T.^e Independent before going tc press were to the elect that ]\tcGavin had heen so seriously kijured internally that his death would oniy be the question of a f-.w hours.    Mrs. Conway will pi"obably recover.

London, June 13.—In almost every statement made today by Col. Roose¬ velt in an hour's chat w-ith 30 new-s¬ paper men at the home of Col. Arthur I je he said that his return to Xew York will signalize his formal return into the b.melight for the nomination fo"-  tl-.e   Presidency.
It   was   not   altogether   a   pleasing

that the Colonel made  this    morning
as he stepped  from     the    continental
express    at     Charing    Cross    station.

' Informed   that   the  Oolonel's     speci.iJ
j pullman   was attached  to   the rear of

The re.sult was that Col. Roosevelt as be stepped out of tbe carriage, et- pressed ."surprise and made almost ! disgii.sted remarks anent the lack i.f a reception, confidants being his daughter. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt- Longwortb and his nephew, Philip Roosevelt.

But   old   timers   w-ho   re¬ member the Oyster Bfiy,    Wash'ufeton , an.i Al'oany interviews pointed out the i .•significant fact  that the   ex-Pre.^'lent j seems   to   have   strange   diffleulty     in expressing   different     thoughts     with j tbe  same lightning-like   rapidity  that | used to charaeterize    his    utterances.

But Col. Roosevelt wants everyone j to know- that he is just as fit as he | ever was. To pro\-e it he explHii. a at len.arth that the critics of his Wash¬ ington lecture failed to mention that he was speaking in a big hall to :") noo  persons  nnd  the very  nature  of
