Meadville, Pa., Sept. 15.—Thirty-four
persons were injured in the wreck of
Erie train No. 4, Chicago to New York
express, at Geneva, Pa., a small station
eight miles west of here. The wreck,
railroad officials believe, was due to
persons having a grievance against the
company opening a switch shortly be­
fore the passenger train arrived. The
injured were brought to this city and
23 were taken to a Spencer hospital.
Five, after having their injuries
dressed, were discharged, while 18 still
remain at the hospital.
Thirty-one df the injured were pas­
sengers and three railroad employes. A
majority of the former were Italian and
Greek laborers. It is not believed any
of the victims will die.
The train is due here at 12:50 A. M.,
but was an hour late and was running
over 50 miles an hour. Upon striking
the open switch the entire train left the
track, the locomotive turning over upon
its side. Two of the ears, a combina­
tion smoker and baggage ear and a day
coach were demolished. A majority of
the injured were riding in the combina­
tion car. ________________

Reports from Chesterton, Ind., were
to the effect that five* persons were
killed and more than 20 injured. The
wreck was caused by a collision between
a passenger train which left Chicago at
11:30 P. M., and which ran into the
rear of an excursion train Found for In­
dianapolis via the Lake Erie & West­
ern. At the offices at the railroad
’here it was said that but two or three
passengers were injured.
Owing to the isolation of the place,
definite reports were difficult to ob­
tain. Conflicting reports were given by
the few persons that could be found to
talk about the wreck. The number of
casualties were given all the way from
two injured to five dead and twenty
injured.

Three Particulars.
Washington, Sept. 14__ In two flights
at Fort Myer Saturday afternoon, Or­
ville Wright, in the Wright flyer, broke
three records. Staying up nine min­
utes and six and one third second in the
first flight, in which Major George 0.
Squiers, acting chief signal officer, ac­
companied him, Mr. Weight broke the
record for a two-man flight, which he
established on Tuesday.
The first
flight wax at 4:29 o ’clock.
In the second flight, which started
at 5:17, Mr. Wright broke the record
for time and distance of a heavier-
than air flying machine, which be es­
tablished by remaining in the air fur
one hour, fourteen minutes and twenty-
four seconds. In this flight he also
went higher than an aeroplaniat hut
ever gone, rising to an altitude of 250
feet.
Mr. Wright also maintained a higher
speed than in his other flights at Fort
Myer, traveling around the drillgrounds
at the rate of 38.75 miles an hour on
the first flight, when Major Squiers
accompanied him.
The distance of this flight was 5.88
miles.
In Saturday’s flight, Mr.
Wright broke the world’s record for
time and distance for the fifth time
last week.
A crowd of 5.000 persons gathered to
witness the flights and their enthusi­
asm knew no bounds. It was all the
cavalry, detailed to guard the aeeoplaoe
from damage, could do to keep the
crowd back. They cheered Mr. Wright
until he went away in the signal corps
