Some of the bodies were Incinerated nnd some were blown into the creek by the explosion. The following are dead: John StemIluger. aged seventeen years: Norman Brown, aged eighteen years: John Tobin. aged sixteen years: John McOready. aged eighteen years; John McMnhou, aged nineteen years: Walter Swift aged nineteen years: Michael Rriscoil. aged twenty-two years; Walter Jackson, aged thirteen years: Walter Roth, aged sixteen years; Richard Connell. aged nineteen years; Herman Rollman. aged fifteen years: Rofelo Quarinto, Carmen Siteliano aud Martin Gallagher, all of Olean: Henry Goddeu. ageu eighteen years, of Boardmanville. At the General Hospital one of the pnui-nig saiu u youug uoy ?us mu?u Into the creek nenr him. It was about 0 o'clock p. ra. when an Erie frolpht train westbound broke -3 two on the bill two miles north of the city. At first the forward part of the train sprang forward with increased speed. Brakes were applied and the front portion was brought almost to a standstill at the iron bridge across Olean Creek. The rear cars, gathering momentum as they came down the bill, crashed into the front end of the train. Most of the cars were tank cars filled with refined oil or gasoline. One of the tanbs caught fire soon after the collision. The exact cause of the fire Is not known, but it 1h supposed to have started from a spark struck from the grinding pieces of iron in the wreckage. In a few ninutes another car of gasoline caught fire and burst into flames with a terrific report. Portions of the iron domes of the cars were hurled a distance of several hundred feet. The dames shot high up in the air. presenting a brilliant spectacle. In this early accident, so far as can be learned, no one was Injured. A large crowd quickly gathered. For two hours the people stood massed together, fascinated by the bright white flames that shot hundreds of feet into the air. As the heat became less Intense the crowd began to edge closer to the wreckage, until about 11 o'clock some venturesome boys approached to within a few hundred feet of the burning debris. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion. Great masses of white flames shot hundreds of feet into the air and literally rolled down the banked sides of the track Into the gully where the spectators were standing. Men and boys fell before the wave of white light to rise no more. Huge pieces of iron were hurled through the air with lightning velocity, mowing down human beings by the ?core. Some managed to scramble to their feet and get away from the dames, but others lay still in death. The scene of agony and horror at that moment was beyond description. A veritable rain of tire came down upon the crowd. Men and boys with their clothing a mass of flames ran down the track, shrieking In their agony, some of them falling to the ground unconscious, while others grovelled In the ditch or jumped into the creek in mad endeavor to put out the fire that was consuming them. Many of those overwhelmed by the flames probably never knew what happened. They dropped where they stood and never again moved. The groans and cries of those maimed or burned were frightful to bear. As noon as the telephone could be reached all the doctors in the city were summoned and the ambulances were called out. Express wagons and other vehicles were pressed Into service. In the meantime those in the vicinity of the wreckage who escaped injury made valiant efforts to rescue the wounded who were still lying with reach of the withering flames. Nothing could be done to chock the flames. They began to die out alrout midnight. A short distance west of the Iron bridge a dead line was established. beyond which no one was permitted to pass, as one of the burning cars wan still thought to be in danger of exploding. It was about 1 o'clock in the morning when Deputy Sheriff1 Osterhout came forward and called for twenty volunteers to carry stretchers on which the dead and Injured were to be l>orne | to the ambulance* and wagons. Three times as many as were called for stepped forward. It was a gruesome trip. A strong light won shinlnc down the track, but instead of serving to Illuminate. it seemed to blind the sight with Its dazzling whiteness.

When tbe Inst ImmIv had been rescued the stretcher hearer* formed a proccuslnu ana started down the track toward the ambulances and carriages. The crowd fell hack and the only sound that broke the stlllnrss was an occasional sob or a shuddering "oh." The remains of the dead arrived in the city about .1 o'clock, and were taken to undertaking establishments. It will be impossible to identify some of the dead. Droirnril Man'n Widow a Snleldt.

PEN NELL DEAD. CfldancM That H?r Hatband Did No? Commit Solcldo. Buffalo. X. Y.?Mr*. Arthur R. Pennell. who with her husband was carried over a ledge into a stone quarry In their automobile, died at the Sisters of Charity Hospital. She never recovered consciousness. A search of the Pennell residence revealed a number of Important document*. including a will of recent date. What the provisions of the will were is not known, as none of those who saw it would discuss the matter. It is believed that Mr. Pennell carried J213.000 life Insurance anJ S.TO.COO accident insurance. The automobile which carried Mr. Pennell and his wife in the plunge to the bottom of the stone quarry on Kensington avenue was carefully examined. The result of the examination left no doubt In the minds of an? of the mrn present, that Pennell did everything within human power to regain control of the vehicle, when it careened In Its mad course toward the yawning chasm at the quarry. The brake* were tightly *et: the power indicator nointel to "Reverse." and the track of the wheel* in the soft earth on the ridge I etween the *treet J pavement and the quarry showed that t the wheels wer? turning backward when the ponderous machine sped forward to desti 'on.

The Rati Scat loo Ileqalred Oalj a Ma* Jority. So Tboro Wore Several Votes to Spare? Bastameate'e Argument Made Deep InprtMloi. Havana. Cuba.?The Senate by a vote of slxteeu to five ratified the reciprocity treaty with the United State*. The treaty wag thus ratified by exactly two-thirda of the votes of the Senate. Fifteen Republican Conservatives or administration Senators aud one Nationalist voted in favor of the treaty, and five Nationalists against it. There were three absentee*, all of , whom, it is believed, favored the treaty, j The ratification required only a majority vote, so that there were several votes to spare. The vote was taken immediately on the conclusion of a forceful appeal by Henor Bustamente. He insisted that whether the trust or the producers were the chief beneficiaries of the twenty per ceut. reduction or customs duties oil Cuban sugar shipped to the United Sta'es, it wax not possible that such differential treatment favoring Cuban sugar in competition with tbat of Europe, could result otber tban favorably to Cuba's trade. Under the treaty, he said, the European producer would be unable to compete with Cuba. If the European nations were really seeking to prevent the ratification of the treaty in the United States Senate. It was not on account of the little they would lose in the Cuban markets, but l>ecause they would no longer be able to send sugar to the United States. The treaty would also provide the protection that Cuba needed on tobacco. Viewed in another aspect, the treaty would give Cuba national entity and allow her to enter Into commercial relations with the nation wtiicb was hitherto considered only her guardian. "I vote." paid the speaker, "for the treaty with the conviction tbat we iu so doing are rendering a patriotic duty lo L'liua, even ir iue irvaiy i? uui unproved by the United State* Senate. "I do not intend to retire to-night with my mind disquieted by thought* of a weak and hungry Cuba Belling her independence for a bag of money, but rather with the knowledge that through our assistance she has taken progressive stpps toward prosperity, rower and the protection of her independence and liberties." Senator Bnstamente'g speech waa loudly applaudfd. The custom of approving the treaty by articles was dispensed with and the recommendations of the committee were approved in their entirety.

Burdiok, In his home, in followed by the shock* Ing death of Arthur R. Penned, whom he had made co-respondenr in his suit for divorce, and who. if he would, many believe, could have point m! the finger of justice straight at the murderer. Pennell was dashed over a precipice ( in no automobile wirli his wife a little after G o'clock p. m. He was killed instantly. and Sir*. Pennell was takpn terribly injured to the Sister*' Hospital. Their fate is as mysterious as that of the rieh merchant with which fot ten horrible days Pennell has been involved. None ran say whether It was ui iii ?i<vi^ii i mi i ncni iu?: ?i ui? ?w7 plunging over the crest of a thirty-foot embankment. Only two younj>; men saw tbo tragedy. The two l>oys who saw the tragedy said that Pennell was driving his machine at a fairly rapid rate when his hat blew off and the automobile swerved and disappeared with its burden into the bowl of limestone a few feet from the road. Unless Mrs. Pennell recovers enough to tell her story, no one may ever learn Pennell's hist words and Impulses, or ever know whether the machine or Its driver was responsible for the plunge. Sensational in the highest degree is the fact that only an hour before starting on the fatal ride Pennell held an anxious conversation over th#> telephone with a friend; that the information given to him by that friend made a strong impression upon him?Indeed, plainly weighed heavily on his mind? and that the subject of that talk was the midnight murder of bis former friend. Edwin L. Burdick. That was the lart conversation be held with any one. unless, perhaps, his wife, for sixty minutes later the lifeless l>ody of Arthur B.

These say Pennell kdied himself deliberately, as the murderer had slain Rurdick. and that in his mad egotism he never naused to reflect he was taking his fa4thful wife with him to eternity. %-tma r>Annnll ltd a luion IaVhI trt h<>P husband and throughout IiIk trying experience* during the past ten days she freouently Mir! her faith in him was unshaken. and that she would stick to him to the end. Pennell carried life insurance ooiicie* aggregating *200.000. It is said that a large part of this insurance was tak?*n out recently, and some of it may become invalidated because of thcstrange circumstance* surrounding the lawyer's death. Mr. Pennell was named as co-r#spondent in the suit for divorce brought by Mr. Burdlck. ITe had been a friend of Mr. Burdlck nntil two years ago. bnt objections were flnallv made to his attentions to Mrs. Burdick. He was supported by his wife, however, in the assertion that he had merely acted as Mrs. Burdick'* legaf adviser in her troubles with her hnsband.

There were several pointed ref??ronce* to the dlvoire suit in newnpaper articles, Indicating that there was n new disposition to look into this feature of the ease. In this connection a statement was printed over the signature of Mr. Pennoil. It was in the form of a letter which h? sent to a friend at Pottsville.
