A despatch from Canonsburg, Pa., says:~Twentyâ€"six dead from sufiocation, twentyâ€"five seriously in- jured, and thirty suffering from minor hurts. That is the human toll exacted on Saturday night dur- ing an inexcusable panic at a, mov- ing-picture show in the Canonsburg Opera House. The moving-picture machine developed a slight defect. There occured a noise like a “click.” A small boy shouted “fire,” at the same time starting for the narrow exit. Bolus Duprowski, a foreign miner, a giant in propor- tion. jumped from his seat and ran wildly for the same exit. In a moment there was a. fighting, strugâ€" gling mass after him. At the head of a narrow stairway, which led to the street. the foreigner tripped. As he rolled down the stairs he swept others from their feet. who were a- waiting their turn to enter the‘ theatre. and soon there was an inâ€" describable pile of humanitv at the foot of the steps, battling like much BURNED COOKING A Young Woman Held Bottle of Alcoho ‘ Over Stove, Which Exploded. ‘All bumped over the ties a short distance when the coupling between day coach N0. 237 and the rear end of the diner broke.

Crowded with passengers, many of whom were war veterans and excur- sionists from the Grand Army of the Republic encampment at Rochester, train No. 4, made up of fourteen ears, drawn by two big mogul en- .gines, was forty minutes late when it reached Rochester Junction, and from there sped eastward to make up time before reaching Geneva. The engineand two day coaches had just passed the centre of a £0111'-11undred~foot trestle over Canâ€" andaigua outlet, 150 yards east of the station at Manchester, at 12.35 o’clock, when the Pullman car Aus- tin, the third car of a. long train,1 left the rails. It dragged the din-‘ ing car with it and two day ooachesl and two Pullmans, in this order, fol~ lowed.

This was definitely decided at a directors’ meeting of the \Vinnipeg Industrial Bureau on Thursday. Leading financial and commercial men repreenting all Western cities, will be invited to accompany the Winnipeg party, covering six weeks’ itinerary abroad. It was necessary to chop through the sides and bottom and the work of removing the victims moved with painful slowness. Death had come swiftly to many, a large number of the dead having had their skulls crushed in when they were thrown with terrible velocity against the car seats and projections. The mortality was high amorg the older passengers, most of whom were ba-tâ€" tleâ€"scarred veterans of the Civil War and their wives. Indescrable pandemonium follow- ed. The Pullman car, Emelyn, which remained on the bridge, with one end projecting over the gulch, and several cars behind it, derailed, and n immedoate danger of going over on the mass of wreckage below, were soon emptied of all their pas- sengers, and these, aided by gangs of railroad employes from the big freight yards at Manchester, rush- ed to aid. As the groans of the inr- jured and dying were heard below, all possible speed was made, but it was several minutes before anybody reached the‘cars at the bottom to effect rescues. This second day coach struck on the bottom and stood up, the rear end projecting a few feet above the- top of the trestle. All of the pasâ€" sengers in this car were piled in a tangled. mass of broken seats at the bottom of the car. Both cars were filled with humanâ€" ity as the plunge was made, and in a, few minutes the cars lay, a, mass of crumbled wood, metal and glass, under which a hundred men, women and children, many of whom were killed instantly, were buried. The most destruction occurred in the day coach No. 237, and a. dozen perâ€" sons were later taken dead from the second day coach, which, having fol- lowed the first over the trestle, snapped its rear coupling and thus eaved the rest of the train from be- lngrdragged over. The end of the first day coach that went over struck the east embankâ€" ment of solid masonry and, with the other sixtyâ€"foot; cars behind it. both shot against the wall with terrific force.
