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,

Islk ani Taylor were born in Virginia.

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. Monroe j
was a soldier of the Revolution, and was
engaged In several Important battles In-!

RELICS OF ABORIGINES
ARROW-HEADS :FOUND AT MOTJTH
OF CLACKAMAS RIVER.
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

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.

American Agriculturist. 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

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

At the present time they figure the num

product for the jear 1M0, represent a
total value, it ls fcdtimated, of more than
$400,000,000. The figures given for the
year 1SS6 were reached on the basis of
an average valuation for chickens of 51

upon as the time for the beginning of
records, more than 2000 poultry-raisers had
entered their names In the contest on
March 1. 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. In speaking of the
contest and what led up to it, on0 of the
editora of the American Agriculturist
said:
"Poultry Is ra!sd on every farm, on
most village homesteads, and on countless
city lots, to say nothing of city cellars and
back yards. So great ls the Interest in
It and so vast the amount of money In
vested, that we regard the industry as one
of the great American industries. Now
we have an Idea that it pays to raise noul-
