CORPSE HI
THE THROTTLE
With the engluw dead nt the throt
tie, a fast frvl-*lit of the I.ehli;h Vn'
ley railroad crashed Into the end ca:
of a train In the Mahoning yard n
mile below Lelghtou. Pa., throwing
the engine across the tracks and seri
ously Injuring Cyrus Young, fireman,
and Richard Miller, brakeman of the
freight train.
The accident Is regarded as a strong
arjjument la favor of the proposed
legislation to compel railroads to have
two engineers In the ?yifflne of each
train. Investigation of the circum
stances surrounding the crash showed
that Cabin Frederick, engineer of the
fast freight, had been dead at the
THBEW BTOJTES 1XTO THE CAB.
throttle for at least half an hour be
fore the ncclueiif an?T thaf tBe train
had sped ahead at tho rate of forty
miles nn hour without a human hand
to guide It I' ld Frederick been In
charge of a passenger train his death
might have resulted In death or seri
ous Injury to many persona.
When the freight train, composed of
about thirty-five ears, left the yards In
Jersey City. Frederick complained of
a sharp pain In his head. At Easton
and in the station In Allentown he re
marked also that he had a headache
which made him dizzy. Nevertheless
he was permitted to remain at his post
That something had happened to the
engineer was apparent when the train
neared the Mahoning yard. It was gor
ing at forty miles an hour, and no at
tention was paid to a block signal that
was set against It Ahead of the
freight train was a stalled train of
empty passenger cars, and a short dis
tance from the last car stood a flag
man who tried to attract the attention
of the englueer of the approaching
freight Seelug that no effort was be
ing made to check the speed of the
train, the flagman ran up the tracks,
and when the engine passed him he
threw several stones into the cab. The
train did not slow up, and the engine
crashed with full force Into the rear
of the stalled passenger train.
The engine plowed halfway Into the
empty passenger coach aud then turn
ed over, strewing heavy wreckage on
both tracks and tying up traffic on the
road for an hour. Young and Miller
were lifted from the wreckage by
men In the freight yard, and after their
wounds were dressed by a physician
who had been summoned they were
taken to the hospital.
Frederick's body was found with his
hand on the throttle in the overturned
engine. It was badly scalded by the
escaping steam, but not a bruise was
on It. He could have escaped easily
had he been alive. The throttle of tho
engine was open, showing he had died
at his post long before the collision.

THE NORTHERN LIGHT
The Stormy will mako her first trip
to Dyea today.
Mr. Godmg is moving to the Ashley
resldeoco on Eighth and Maid.
We wish to let the boys know that
the room up stairs belongs to the girls
as much as the boys.
The following, whioh is nn lllustru- 1
tion of the school spirit of which we
need more, was contributed by a fifth
grade boy: "We have a small news
paper, and so has the Daily Alaskan.
The Dally Alaskan makes all people
pay for the paper, while the Northern
Light docs not charge anything at all.
The Alaskan has a man for editor, and
we have a bright girl for our news
paper."
^Another plaint from the captain of
the Soccers: "All we want Is a fair
referee to watch the '08 in making
fouls. I. watched Clarence Achison yes
terday, and ho hugged the ball twice
and it was not counted. We would have
won with a fair deal. The Soccers are
watched too closely, and the '08 not
enough. He eould not boar to see the
'08s lose."
Jacky Patrick re-entered school yes
terday.
BASKETBALL.
Yesterday morning some girls from
Mrs. Draper's room and Mr. Telfo'd's
room played a game of basketball.
The teams were Maud Haslett, Minnie
Wolff, Nellie Shea, Nellio FlynD and
Veronica; and Neillie Orchard, Edith
Liddicoat, Eleanor Leslie, Ruth DeWitt
and Viol Powell. At first there was
some difficulty in getting the ball into
the basket, but after some practice the
team last mentioned succeeded in mak
ing one goal before the bell rung.
At the afternoon recess a game was
played between the class of 1908 and
the Soccers. On account of the greater
height of the baskets not so lar&re a
score as usual whs made. The class of
1908 woo, nine to six, a number of
awardeci points having a great deal to
do with the result, iu addition to caus
ing the captain- of the- Soccers to ask
for space in the Northern Light to ex
plain the causc of his team's dofeat.
