The Metropolitan Polico force would
seem tohave some mysterious attraction
for tho average countrymen judging
from the largo number of applications
for positions upon it which the District
Commissioners daily reccivo from resi
dents in small towns and villages
throughout the country. Many of these
applicants stntc that they now hold good
situations at home, but would prefer to
come to Washington and pace a beat on
tho police force.
Tlio Commissioners, in replying to
theso letters, after stating the nccessnry
qualifications for a member of tho forco,
viz, nn honorable discharge from the
army and navy and good physical con
dition, always adviso the applicant not
to throw up their jobs with tho expecta

night nnd wns resting easy this morn

pected. W. W. Urnuch of Charleston
and Julius SIcgcl of New York, both
with broken arms, aro much improved
and getting nlong well. Tlio others in
jured nro all doing well.
Coroner Tucker and it jury visited tho
Eccnc of the wreck yesterday afternoon,
nnd mndu a thorough examination of
tho rond and tho grade. Tho inquest
will be held next Tuesday afternoon.
As additional facts arc learned It be
comes clearer that tho responsibility
for the accident rests with Con
ductor Houglilaling. Tho rules
governing the caso of n train breaking
hi two specially say: "Tho forward
part must not stoji until the engineer is
sine that the rear pait of tho train has
stopped." From the statements of tho
passengers, it is evident that no step
wns taken to ascertain tho position of
tlio detached portion before the for
ward part was stopped in Thursday
night's accident.
Hyncinthe iicauchcmtti of Sorel,
Quebec, says the traiti ran nlong for
three minutes after it broke in two. He
then' saw tlio conductor pull the bell
rope to stop the train. Ucauchctnin
rnn to the conductor and exclaimed:
"For God's sake don't stop the train or
wo will be telescoped!" Tho conductor
pnvc no heed to the warning. Dean
chimin rnn to the rear platform and bo
held the detached sleepers entiling
ground rapidly. Ho cried to thu pas
Ecuecrs to jump; nnd thencame the
crash.
Tho bodies of five of the victims Ho
nt the morgue. That of Mrs. llnucus
is at an undertaking establishment.
Haby Stewart was very fcvciish last
night and could not bo (filleted, contin
ually calling for "mamma. "This morn
In 2 she is lcstlng more easily.
The responsibility for the railroad
accident has not yet been definitely
fixed. All accounts seem to agree that
tho air-brakes wcro uncoupled when
the train stalled, after first breaking in
two nt Dunkirk. The brakes were,
therefoic, useless. They work auto
matically, and, if in proper condition,
would havo set themselves on the
slcepeis when they broko ' nway from
the forwaid section of the train.
Under those conditions the proper step
was to stop the first scftion at once.
The questions Hint will be raised at
the Coroner's inquest will bo these:
Did the coiiduclor know that tho air
brakes on tho detached section wcro
useless: if so, why did ho stop tho first
section?
Who wns responsible for running tho
train without having tho air brakes in
working order?
A United Press reporter tiled to Inter
view Conductor Houghtnling, but the
Conductor, who had just left Superin
tendent Couch, would say nothing.
The repoiter then saw tho Superintend
ent. That olllcial said that Conductor
Houghtaling had been on the road
about twenty-fivo years and had -been
regarded as n capable, careful and elll
clcnt olllcial.
"What nro your rules or instructions
to conductors in such an emergency as
last night?"
"I don't care to go into that ques
tion," was tho reply.
Mr. Haupt, a well-known lawyer of
this city, mnkes n very serious state
ment concerning tho condition of the
train. Mr. Haupt, who was found in
bed at his resilience, suffering from
cuts in the left nrm nnd the nervous
strain, said to the reporter:
"I was sitting in tho last day coach
of the forward half of tho parted train,
when I saw the conductor, John
Houghtaling, rushing through the car.
In (mother instant I iicaid tho bcll-ropo
pull, nnd also the terrifying shout, 'Go
abend or we'll all bo smashed.' I sprang
toward tho parti' opened door, facing
the coming section of the train, nnd ns
my hnnd "grasped tho kuob tho crash
came, nnd 1 kucw nothing more till I
fonud myself in the midst of a chaos of
wreckage, from which I nianngcd to
extiicato myself witli a few cuts on tho
nun. How I escaped being smashed
to pieces In such n tangle, God only
Knows.
"Can you tell mo anything about tho
cause of "tho disaster?"
"Why. yes. Tho cold truth Is, tho
train was not in fit cond.tlon to carry
human beings from tho timo it left Clove
land. Thctralii parted once before leav
ing that city. I spoke to tho conductor
about it, ami lie assured me Hint every
thing wns all light. At Duuklrk tho
train parted twice. Tho btcam coup
lines weio broken and tho air brakes
failed to act. A traveling companion
nnd I discussed tho question whether It
would not bo wiser to get off thero and
tnke another train. Wo did not like tho
idea of traveling in such n broken-down
outfit. Hut wo took tho chances, and
hero I am. Many poor creatures did
not fore so well."
"Was theio mismanagement after tho
train Darted?"
"Well, it is evident that tho train
conductor, Hougtnling, though nn old
hand, lost his head. Ho pulled tho
tope in tho first place and stopped tho
forward seetion. a rash thlnir to do.
Two passengers saw him do it nnd told
mo so. Then tho Wngncr conductor
might havo nverted tlio collision by
working tho hand brakes instead of
wasting timo in trying tho useless air
brakes onthteoenrs. when ho must
havo known thoy had failed to act at
Dunkirk.
"How long wns it heforo relief
reached you from the city?"
"Just before tho nccident I had
changed my timo from Cleveland to
Buffalo lime. It wns 8:35 when tho
crash came. The lellef train camo
fiom Huffalo, seven miles dlstaut, nt
11:80 p. m two hours and a half later.
It was barbarous that terrible en
foiced wnltimr for medical and sur
pirnl aid. With any proper exertion
and some humane appreciation of tho
lcqiilrcmcnls of tho situation, relief
should havo reached us In an hour nt
least,"

IiosioN, Mass, Mnrcli 8. An or
ganized cffoit Is being mado to induce
nn exodus of Southern colored people
to New England. The schema finds its
motlvo in thu lack of suitable domestic
servants in New England nnd In tho
desito of ccitnlii original abolitionists
to place tlio frccdmen in n condition of
civil libeity.
Mr. Stilimnu 11. Pratt savs that tho
people of this section have, within 11
few years, found out that the women of
tlio negro race mnko tlio boat servants
that enn bo had, and that there is a

from nil parts of Now England. Tho
Intention of tho promoters of lite Immi

families como on thu women ns ser

says tho purpose isto colonize them

way that Vermont is encouraging tlio

A South Carolina Orniid Jury That

CiiAiu.nsTON, S. C, March 8. The
grand jury in Edgefield County has
mado a presentment which causes some
excitement. Tlio jury arraigns the Su
premo Court for delays and innova

dud which was attempted last Feb
mary by attacking very severely tlio
duelling law. They say the statutes
nro so defective that nothing short of
a duel actually fought is over likely
to be brought to tho'tcst of a trial.
Hegardlng tho escape from prison of
two white murderers under senlcnco of
death, the jury finds that tho sheriff
and his assistants wore culpably negli

responsible for the escape of the prison
ers. In view of tills presentment, tho

Historical Worlca I'.ndanceroll In
Hampton Court,
London, March 8. Tlio Tory organs
profess to bo shocked nnd gilevcd nt
the flippant tone ndoptcd by "Hie
grandest legislative body In tlio world"
in their debates, and at tho Irreverence
exhibited toward the highest olllclnls In
the realm. They blame the members
of the House of Louis for their scanty
and Iricgulnr ntlciidnnce, and leave it
to bo Inferred that theio Is n decided
lack of nblltly In the Upper House, n
suspicion of which stato of things has
been for some timo prevalent In the
community.
Her Majesty is in trouble again with
the artists. Thero is a difference us to
the price ngiccd upon with tho painter
Au.clla, who Is painting tlio royal por
trait for the Prussian regiment, of
.which she is honorary colonel, and Im
putations of chronic parsimony havo
been mado In several art publications.
Tho German wan lots, however, will
not bo deprived of tho opportunity of
gathering inspiration and valor from
the sight of their doughty commander's
features, ns the affair, it is understood,
lias been settled.
A more serious cause for royal wrath
has ariEen from the solicitude felt, not
onlv bv English paluters, but artists
throughout tho world, for tho safely of
the works of art at Hampton Court.
The old palace there is used as nn asy
lum for decayed members of the aris
tocracy, whoso pauperism is mitigated
by certain attentions duo to their former
slate. Ashoit while ago flro was dis
covered in tho venerable pile in timo to
save it from the fate of the Do
llgium palace nt Lnkcn. A similar
accident is likely to occur at any
time while it lcmains tenanted by a
swarm of helpless old Indies, a number
of whom aro of unsound mind, nnd for
whose convenience fires have to bo
kept up in the living rooms the year
round. Sir Frederick Lcighlon pointed
out tlio danger some years ago, and
now Alma Tadcmn and other nrtlsts of
note hnvo joined in demanding that tho
art treasures there bo secured against
such n possible calamity.
Her Majesty is iudlgnnnt .at the sug
gestion that tho palace, perfectly de
fenseless against fire, shall bo vacated
by its reduced gentry, nnd possibly In
her secret mind thinks them entitled to
more consideration than nil the paint
ings in existence, but there is little
doubt that a calamity like that which is
now feared must bo prevented, no mat
ter nt what disregard of royal and nils
toeralic feelings.

has been n frequent visitor to the hard

have for about tho same timo missed
various articles of value, tlio loss of
which was ihioudcd in 11 good dcnl of

Mr. Fiilcli wns not suspected until
the oilier day, when immediately after
his dcpaitiire a box of penknives wns
missed. No 0110 had been near them
except Fiilcli, and tho members of thu
film nt once held n hasty consultation.
The only conclusion they could roach
wns that their clerical customer had
the missing properly, nnd 0110 of tho
linn wns hastily dispatched nrtcr him.
Mr. Frltch was overtaken several
squares from thu store nnd requested to
leturn tlio articles. Ho turned pale,
but went back without objection, and
when in tlio ofilce wns chnrged with the
theft. Then tlio accused minister broke
down nnd produced tho box of knives.
Detective ltambo secured a warrant
for his arrest and took him into custody
to-day. Ho gave bail for a hearing,
and when accused wrote a list of thu
articles he had stolen from timo to llmo
and signed his name, which was wit
nessed by two other pnities. Tills pa
per is now in possession of Mr. ltebcr.
Mr. Fiilcli is now beliovcd to bo n
