St. Louis, Aprll 'J—Five persont were injured in a collision of -a Bur: lngton railroad passenger train with & frolght near here. J. A. MoKlttrick, & atockman, was pinioned under the ‘wreockage by his left leg, which was mearly crushed off at the knee. Scald- ing steam from the damaged passen- ger locomotive was enveloping him and to save McKittrick’s life Rev. R. C. Allen of Grove City, Pa., cut off the leg with a pocket knife. With steam enveloping him McKit- trick pulled out his knife and handed 1t to Rev. Mr. Allen, who with others ‘was trying to drag the man loose from the wreckage, commanded the minis- ter to cut off the crushed leg and save him from being scalded to death. Mrs. Bmma Renner, a trained nurse from Cincinnati, a passenger, pressed a bottle of whisky to McKittrick’s lips and told him to drink. “I'll try a little of it,” said McKittrick, “but I haven’t touched a drop of the stuff in five years.” The steam from the engine increased in quantity. “Cut off that leg. I can’t stay here and die,” shout- ed McKittrick. i The minister then began cutting at the tendons with the knife. It was dull and McKittrick suffered intense agony. “Throw it away and get an axe,” he finally cried out. But Mr. Allen desperately continued and in a feow minutes had severed the tendons and McKittrick was carried into a car. At once Mrs. Renner, the nurse, made a tourniquet of her veil and staunched the flow of blood. Soon afterward Mc- Kittrick was given attention by a phy- glolan and was later brought to a St. Louis hospital. CAUSES NO SURPRISE. Action for Divorce Begun by Mrs. Al- fred G. Vanderbilt. New York, April }.—There is little surprise expressed in any quarter over the announcement that formal action in a suit for absolute divorce had been taken by Mrs. Ellen French Vander- bilt against Alfred Gwynne Vander- bilt. Even rumors of impending ac- tion which have been in free circula- tion since March 26, when Mrs. Van- derbilt hurriedly left the Vanderbilt farm at Portsmouth, R. I, are said to have caused surprise only outside the social set in- which the couple have been leaders. Within that:circle it had been known for a year or more, it s said, that there was a lack of mutual good feeling between the young people. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt inherited a fortune of $60,000,000 at the death of his father, the late Cornelius Van- derbiit. At the same time, although & younger son, he became the head of thét branch of the Vanderbilt family, bis older brother Cornelius having be- comme estranged from his father wou‘h his marriage with Miss Grace laoh. ed G. Vanderbilt married BEllen oh, the daughter of the late Fran- ofe O. French, a New York banker, on ?‘fl, 1001. At the time of his mar- Mr. Vanderbilt was twenty- ree years of age and his bride twen- {g<ené, They have one obild, a boy, ;"bo ] Q%h his mother at the home of #s: Vanderbilt's brother in Tuxedo. COUNT BONI IS FURIOUS. Dislikes Idea of Former Wife Marry- ing His Cousin. = Paris, April '.—Although Madame Anna Gould, before her departure from Paris for the United States, re- peatedly denied to intimate friends that she had any intention of marry- ing Prince Helie de Sagan the prince was a welcome guest at her city and country residences for months and they often dined and went to the the- ater together. Madame Gould has al- ways been regarded as headstrong by her friends and consequently they ‘would not be astonished if she per- sisted in marrying the prince despite the disastrous results of her marriage to Count Boni de Castellane and the present opposition of her family. Count Boni de Castellane, who is a cousin of the prince, is represented as being furfous at the confirmation of his suspicions and the Paris newspa- pers naturally are having considerable fun over the idea of Madame Gould’s re-entry into the French aristocracy a8 the Princess de Sagan at a reduced fortune’ of only $60,000 a year, that sum being regarded as prodigious in France. The Gil Blas is especially hilarious over the prince’s alleged re- ply to an insinuation that he was a fortune hunter, in which he said: “At my age a man only marries for love.” > Lucky.

THIRTY-SIX OF CREW LOST Deckmen Were Clothed in Heavy Oil- skins and Not Having Time to Free Themselves From the Encumbrances 8ank With the Vessel. Portsmouth, Eng., April 4.—Thirty- six men, including Lieutenant Middle- ton, the commander of the torpedo boat destroyer Tiger, lost their lives in a collision off the Isle of Wight be- tween that vessel and ‘the British cruiser Berwick. The vessels belong to the Portsmouth division of the Brit- ish home fleet and were engaged in night maneuvers in the channel while on their way to Portland. The night Wwas very dark and the Berwick was steaming slowly. When the destroyer attempted to cross the big cruiser’s bow she was caught amidships and out in half with knifelike precision, sink- ing almost instantly. The deck crew, who were dressed in heavy oilskins and boots, went down with the vessel, not having time to free themselves from these heavy encumbrances. Of the twenty-two men who were rescued most of them were engineers and stokers who, having light -clothing, were able to keep themselves afloat until boats from other ships, which were immediately launched, picked them up. The smaller naval vessels were in the midst of an attack on their bigger consorts when the disaster occurred. The entire fleet was under masked lights and in the absolute darkness the Tiger was suddenly struck square amidships by the Berwick. The sharp stem of thi vessel cut the destroyer in two as if she had been made of paper. . The forward half sank in- stantaenously and the sea became dot- ted” with struggling men. Most of them, however, sank before help could reach them. More Haytians Seek Refuge. Paris, April J—Advices received by the French government from Haytk indicate that the state of chaos which prevails at Port au Prince is accen- tuated by strife among the negro fac- tlons there.
