THE STOJDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, MAY 13, 1900. COLLISION IN A TUNNEL CAUSED BY THE SIGXALHAX BEING ASLEEP. Seven Men "Were Killed and Twenty or More Firemca Hurt la Flehllnff tkc Flame. PHILADELPHIA, May 32. Frank Lan tel. a tower operator of the B. & O. P.. B. Co., stationed at the entrance of the tun siel under Two Hundred and Fiftieth Btreet. It Is claimed, slept at his post. As a result, a rear-end freight collision oc curred today In the tunnel, causing the death of Engineer George Loeb and Fire man George Hinchtnan, and It Is believed Ave tramps, who were stealing a ride. Fire followed the wreck, and many firemen Rcre Injured while fighting the flamis. The fast New-Tork-bound express freight train reached the tunnel on time and slowed down to shift somo cars. The second section was due 10 minu-es later. It was Lantel's duty to signal the second section, as the first had stopped In the tunnel. This he failed to do. The second section crashed into the first section at full speed. Cars were piled In an Indescriba ble mass and took fire. Great difficulty was experienced In fighting the flames, as dense volumes of smoke Issued frcm bath ends of the tunnel. Four firemen who were most seriously injured are John Jor dan, John McKeerman, Joseph Davis and Charles Rau. Twenty additional firemen have been treated for minor injuries. Each of the oil cars contained about 4000 gallons and the burning oil spread with great rapidity to other cars. The loss to the company Is estimated at $110,000. Shortly after the collision the operator disappeared, and could not be found until he gave himself up late this afternoon. When questioned he said: "I did It. "Why the white signal re mained In place I do not know, but it was there, and the train went through as usual. I was asleep or dazing, and why I cannot say, except that I feel myself over worked; but I am ready to stand the cen sure and take what comes to me. I have no excuse to offer." Poured Ganolljie In. a Stove. OMAHA, May 12. Mrs. Lena Anderson and litue 8-year-old Mary Olsen were burned to death in South Omaha today. Mrs. Anderson was lighting the fire by pouring gasoline In the stove, thinking It was coal oil. An- explosion resulted, and the victims w ere caught In the flames. FACTS ABOUT PRESIDENTS. Vigorous Health, nnd Loner Lives n General Characteristic. The Presidents of the United S'a.es have as a rule been strong and robust men. polk was the exception. He was never robust, and yet he was bj no means an Invalid. Of the remainder of the 25 Prea. dints or perhaps It would be btter to say 24, bearing in mind thi fact that Grover Cleveland counts twice, that is, as the 22d and the 24th PreMden. there was not one who did not enj.y robust hea.th up to and bejond middle life, and mes: of them continued to do so up to a goad o'd age. savs the New York Sun It will surprise man to know that the average age of tne 21 Presidents who have died, from Washington to Aithur incu bive, is the alloted three score and ten, or to be more exact. 70 j ears 3 months and 10 dajs. By an odd coin ieice, ihs was almost the exact age of Rutherford B. Has es w ho lived 70 j ears 3 months-and 13 dajs. The Presidents lived longer in the early dajs than in more recent times. The average age of the first 10. from "Wash ington to Tjler inclusive. Is 77 years, 16 months and 3 dajs. That of the 11, from Polk to Arthur, inclusive, Is C3 ytars. i months and 7 days. This great differ ence is accounted for in part by the circumstance that two of the 11 Presi dents, Lincoln and GarflMd. were stricken down by an assassin at th? comparatively early ages of 56 and 49 respectively. Bo.h of these were men of unusual health and strength, and had It not b'en for the'r as rasslnatlon, one or both might have lived in the natural course of events to at least the average age of the other Presi dents. Of the first 10 Prrsidents "Washington was tho youngest to die, and yet he reached the considerable age of 67. Only three of the 11 Presidents from Polk to Arthur attained a greater age. These were Fill more, Buchanan and Haes. John Adams, one of the sturdiest of all the Presidents reached the most advanced age. lie lived to be SO. and Is the only nonagenarian among them. Curiously enough, the second In longev.ty was Mad ison, though at the age of 21, snortly after he was graduated from Princeton Co.lege. he was in so poor health that he wrote to a friend intimating that he did not expect a long or healthy life. Tet Madison grew stronger In due time, and lived to the ripe old age of 85. Next in longevity comes Madison's- life long friend and coursellor, Thomas Jeffer son, who lived to be 83. John Qulncy Adams reached 80. The joungest of all the Presidents to die was Garfield, who was cut down In the prime of life by an assassin's bullet. Had he lived Just two months more he would have reached 50. The oungcst of the Presidents to die a natural death was Polk, who lived to be E3. Nexno-hiirntame Arthur, who died at E6. The ages of all the dead Presidents, ar ranged In the order of longevity, are: John Adams. M; Madison, S3; Jefferson, S3; John Qulncy Adams. SO; Van Buren, 79; Jackson, 78. Buchanan. 77; rillmore, 74; Morroe. 73: Tyler. 71: Hayes, 70; "William Henry Harrison, 68; "Washington. 67; John son, CC; Taj lor, G3; Pierce. C4; Grat, C3; Lincoln. 56; Arthur, 56; Garfield. 49. It will be seen that no two of the Presidents died at the same age except Lincoln and Arthur, The most remarkable coincidence relat ing to the deaths of the Presidents is the circumstance that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson din on tho same day. July 4. 1S26, just 50 years after the Decla ration of Independence, which Jefferson himself had written, and which both Adams and Jefferson had done much to bring to pass. Adams died after having remarked: "Thomas Jefferson sti'l lives." But as a matter of fact. Jefferson had died a few hours before. Flvo j ears later, on Independence Day, 1S3L died James Morrroe. the originator of the Monroe doctrine. Washington was the only President to pass his life entirely In the last century, ind Pierce was the first to be born dur ng the present century Tour of the Presidents died In office Vllllam Henry Harrison, who served only no month; Zachary Taylor, who served no j ear and four months: Lincoln, who ervcd one full term and about sir weeks tf his second term; and onrfield, who died fter he had held the office six months. Of the three Presidents now living. Ben 3vmln Harrison Is CG. and Tcsides at In danapolis. Grover Cleveland is 63. and Ives at Princeton; President McKInley Is C. It is a singular thlny that two of the P-atee. Virginia and Ohio, have furnished core than half the Presidents to th Na tion. Virginia, "the mother of Presi dents " is the birthplace of eight; Ohio of rVe: Massachusetts. NFiv Tork nnd North Carolina of two each, and New Hamp sjlre. Pennsj lvania. Kentucky, Vermont aid New Jersey of one each. Thus 10 sates share tho honor of being the blrth Paccs of all the Presidents of the United Sates. Washington, Jefferson. Madison, lonroe. "William Henry Harrison. Tyler. Islk ani Taylor were born in Virginia. Grant. Hayes. Garfield. Benjamin Harri son and McKInley In Ohio; John Adams aad John Qulncy Adams InMassachu--tts. Van Buren and Fillmore In New Tork, Jackson and Johnson In North Car- Clna. Plercft In Kiw TTiunnrtlw TJi.v.... , w ,. . fc j an In Pennsylvania. Lincoln In Kentucky, Arthur In Vermont and Cleveland In New Jersey. It should be stated, though, that Jackson was born so lsear the border be tween North and South Carolina that the Question of his nativity has always been a matter of dispute. His biographer, James Parton, has, however, demonstrated that the honor belongs to North Carolina. Twelve of the Presidents, "Washington, Jefferson, Madison. Monroe, John Adams, John Qulncy Adams, Van Buren, Pierce. Buchanan. Hayes, Garfield and McKInley. were chosen from their native states. Tyler, who succeeded "William Henry Har rison on the death of the latter, was a resident of his native state at the time; and so was Fillmore, who succeeded Tay lor. "William Henry Harrison was chosen from Ohio. Polk and Jackson from Ten nessee. Taylor from Kentucky, Lincoln, and Grant from Illinois, and Benjamin Harrison from Indiana. Johnson was a citizen of Tennessee when he succeeded Lincoln, and Arthur a citizen of New Tork when he succeeded Garfield. Buffalo enjoys the distinction of being the only city in the country that has fur nished two Presidents. They are Fillmore and Cleveland. Each of the Important wars of the United States has given one or more Presidents to the country. The War of the Revolution gave Washington: the War of 1812, Jackson and Harrison; Tay lor and Pierce went to the White House on the strength of their records during the Mexican War, w hlle e ery Pres dent chosen since the Civil War, except Cleve land, took part In that strug-gle. Washington and Grant were the great- est soldiers, though Jacksqn and HarrI- son were distinguished Generals.

Description of Rare nnd Valuable Collection Owned by n. C. Ste vens, of Oregon City. Indian relics of a perishable nature, and therefore typifying a comparatively mod ern age. are numerous, but seldom Is found a collection throwing light on the traditional past. Such, however. Is the very complete exhibit possessed by H. C. Stevens, of Oregon City. Mr. Stevens' relics are not general or representative of Indian life In all phases, but he has confined his efforts almost exclusively to arrow-heads If thoroughness compen sates for lack of range, this collection Is one of great Importance, particularly to the Pacifl; Northwest and Oregon. There are 5000 complete arrow-points, many spear-heads and several large pieces of obsidian, used by the Indians as knives. As a sort of auxiliary or incident. Mr. Stevens also displays an Interesting lot of mortars and pestles, stone hammers, stone weapons, and a few pieces of sculp tor work for which archaeologists ascribe no use. These arrow and spear-heads come from SOME OK II. C. STEVEN S ARUOWU the vast deposits near the ancient Indian village ground at the confluence of the Willamette and Clackamas rivers.

There are a few with double pci-ts. which seemingly was the method of painting a shaft so it would sever a tendoj In lis path. Those with out barbs are not numerous, and usually are of, greater length and sharpness, pene trating power apparently being sought rather than etr ngtb, as is found in oth ers. A few w th fie double barbs carry the torturing Idea far, as su-h a head sunk In flesh could not be extracted with out severe 'acerat'ons. The same savage purpose acems to have exceeded the bounds o utl ity or reason In the p'aclng of three barts on'eaAi sd of an arrow head. But ey few of these are left, which leads to the belief that they were never very gen ratly enploved. A rather odd ru pose and rrraocerrtcst ie lound in a head with a single barb on one sid only. This would have a t ndcncy'to un balance the shaft In its flight, and must have been very rar as M. Stevens has never fund more than one. A doubtful purp se Is seen In notched barbs. The notch is not of sufficient s ze to aid the barb In I 3 cru 1 work, and can be attrib uted to mcre'y a sp'rlt of orramentation, or pirharw a d stlngul-hlng mark for s:mc brave, fam ly cr tib 's weapon.

TO LEARIf ABOUT HENS. A Contest to Decide If Keeping Chickens Vaya, and the Conditions. Nearly 10,000 peraons in this country have recently entered a contest, the ob ject of which is to answer three appar ently very simple little questions. The questions are: Do hens pay? If so, why? and how? The man, woman or child who can answer these three questions and demonstrate the correctness of his an swers In the briefest yet completes! fash. Ion will, on April 1. 1901. be entitled to something like X in gold and may also obtain some of about 2000 special prizes offered by various individuals and flrnui that have become Intertsted In the con test. The conditions of the contest have been arranged so that the city man who keeps hens In his back yard has an equal chance for first honors with the man who makea his living by raising poultry on a farm. In tnc.t under ths rnni tions a man with three birds may com pete on even terms with the man who owns COCO: and. furthermore.

A few years ago the proprietors of this paper undertook to collect some statistics that would give an adequate Idea of the number of fowls ln this country, the number of eggs pro duced In the course of a year and the value of both fowls and eggs. The figures ohtalnivl were mthpr fitnrtllnir Vint thr was no reason to' doubt their accuracy. ... ., .......w.. .v. uuuut. vnv... uviuiaij, for they were the result of statistics sent in by thousands of correspondents in nunarcfln or diiiercnt localities, and were compiled with the greatest care. The figures showed 2S3.000.000 fowls in th'a country In the year 1S95; the number of ftrtrs nrnrlnrPfl t-w1k-iti1 In Inrnno Txm 1.141.000,000 and he value of It all In dol- , lars was KM3,00.t.X).

Some Idea of the amount of in terest taken In the contest can be gath ered from the fact that there are now al most 10,000 contestants, and more names are being entered every day. Among them are city and country raisera In every state in the Union, in all parts of Canada, And even ln Mexico, Porto Rico, the Phil ippines, England and Australia. The greater number of contestants are farmers, but among those who are striving for the prizes are many poultry specialists, who raise fine birds for amusement, and with no Idea of profit.
