I was in seat No. 2. on the kft side, in the
front of the car. The train wont slowly up
through the yards, and was gathering speed at
about 59th-6t-. when, after a rumbling as we
w«ot «r«r a lot of awttches, the car seemed to
Itere th* trsek and swing sharprj to the. left-
Then the side of the car caved in and showers
of splir.te.rs. cinders and dust came in. I was
knockc-d over and pinioned under my chair,
and I became unconscious. T dimrv remember
being carried into another car. and then of going
In a train to the depot, whence I came here.
There was great commotion when the car left
the track. The women - reamed, a. id some of
the men lost control of themselves, ion. though
most of them were coo] and helped the women.
One man. very much excited kept shouting.
"Open the door: open the noor;' and he didn't
make a move to do anything himself.
Mr. Hines. husband of one of th-^ injured

They treated me like a dog at the Grand Cen

the injury to rr.y wife. I got there at 12:20
o'clock. It was after 2 o"clock before i could
get any one to te]i where my wife was. I
finally found her In the womei waitin— room.
Now, all that time officials knew where she was

SECOND PEACE CONGRESS.
CZAR'S CALL TO NATIONS.
The Plan Believed to Meet the Presi
dent's Approval.
St. Petersburg. Sept. IS.- -Emperor \*lrhola.s
again appears bo .Tore the, world as a promoter
of universal pecc». Before th.> peace treaty has
been ratified his majesty has issued invitation?
to a second peace conference at The Hague.
That th" Kmperor has takon this step was
learned to-day from a source which leaves no
shadow of doubt of its authenticity.
It i<= officially announced that "the Rassian
government proposes to address the foreign
powers with a view to the. holding? of a second
peace conference at The Hague." but it Is known
that negotiations preceding this announcement
that the government "proposed" to address the
powers wer» entered into especially with th«*
United States and were conducted with the
frrea.fe«sT secrecy.
The announcement created the greatest Fur
prise here, and that Russia should plan a second
conference despite the steps already taken by
President RoooevcH was aiso heard with amaze
ment. It seems cl»ar that such a step could not
have been taken by Russia without first reach
ing: a complete und«-standin? with President
Roosevelt. The fact that President Roosevelt is
reported as being: entirely in sympathy with thA
proposal, that he is said to believe that to the
initiator of the first Hague conference should
belong the honor of convoking the second, and
that he gladly acceded to the Russian proposal,
is dear proof that the conference has already
been called, and that President Roosevelt relin
quished his part in It to the Emperor.
There is strong reason to believe that the
news, even of the intention of the Russian gov
ernment, would not have been given out unless
invitations had already been sent to the powers
and. possibly, unless their answers had been re
ceived.
The question arises how the invitation was
communicated to Japan In view of the lack of
diplomatic relations, but the invitation may be
delayed until such relations hay« been resumed,
or it may have been forwarded through ths
United States.
It was impossible to learn to-night the pro
posed date of the second conference, but it prob
ably will not be greatly delayed. Russia, as
the power convoking the conference, will prob
ably submit an official programme, the other
powers submitting suggestions.
CLERK STEALS $20,000.
J. W. Boyd Confesses Embezzlement
from Public Health Service.
Washington, Sept. IS. — James W. Boyd. a clerk
In the Public Health and Marine Hospital Serv
ice, was arrested to-day on a warrant sworn
[ out by W. P. "Worcester, chief clerk of that of
! rice, charging hira with embezzlement. The dls
j covery of facts leading to the charge was mado
i last Thursday, in Boyd's absence, and the
' amount abstracted will, according to Boyd's con
; fession, reach not less than $20,000.
It was Boyd's duty to prepare bills for the
' approval of the surgeon general, and when
j checks were signed they were delivered to him
to be mailed to the persons for whom they were
intended. Tt is charged that he manipulated the
bill« by erasing the dates and amounts of dupli
cates left in the office, and that he secured the
money on the checks by indorsing on the checks
the names of the firm? to which they were is
sued. The defalcation has been in progress for
the last three years, but Boyd was not suspected
until a recent illness compelled him to be ab
sent and made It necessary for some one else
; to assume his duties. When his desk was
j opened a number of suspicious documents were
I found. This discovery led to an investigation
I by Surgeon General Wyman and Chief Clerk
I Worcester with the result that the case was
t placed in the hands of the Secret Service of-
I fleer« who made the arrest. Property belong
i lng to Boyd valued at about $8,000 has been
i seized.
Boyd had been in the Public Health Service
about twelve years, and was appointed from
Westchester County, New-York. He was well
known about town, especially so because of his
fondness for automobiling. His salary was $1,800
a year. The members of his family are said to
be travelling in Europe.
When taken before United States Commis
sioner Taylor, Boyd waived a hearing and was
held in $10,000 bail.

MEAT PACKERS PROTEST.
Alleged Irregularity in Grand Jury
Which Indicted Them.
Chicago, SepT 18.— By pleas in abatement at
torneys representing the seventeen meat pack
ers and other persons indicted by a federal
grand jury on charges of conspiring in a trust
to monopolize the meat business to-day at
tacked the position of the government. The at
tack was made against the impanelling of the
Jury. It alleged improper service of a summons
on John Murray, one of the jurors, unlawful
secrecy at the time the jury was drawn from
the box. unlawful presence of a stenographer in
the jury room during the hearing-, and the sub
sequent writing of the shorthand notes; that
the indictment was returned in the Eastern Di
vision of Illinois, although the Jury which found
the indictment was sitting in the Northern Di
vision of the Northern District.
The pleas were filed late this afternoon with
District Attorney C. B. Morrison, after an all
day conference between Attorney John S. Miller,
general counsel for the packers, and several as
sociate attorneys in the case. There were no
court proceedings, and the pleas have not yet
been properly filed with the clerk of the District
Court, but this will be done to-morrow.
The main grounJ on which the defendants
stand in the!- pleas is the presenoa of John Mur
ray in the jury. It is their assertion that the
jury was drawn from the box previous to
March 3, at which time a law redistricting the
Northern District of Illinois went into effect, ex
cludlng Kankak?e County, the home of John
Murray, from the Northern Division of th»
Northern District of Illinois. By the terms of
the new law this county was piaced in the East
ern Division of th^ Northern District, and there
fore not within the Jurisdiction of the court. It
is declared that Murray was served on March S.
five day 3 after the enactment of the law re
moving Kankakee County from this division, by
a deputy marshai of another division of the

C. U. FOR FUSION STILL
LITTLETON IN THE FIELD.
Cutting "Lei Down Easy"—
Tammany. He Says.
The city r<-rr>n-itree of the Citizen.* UhkA, at
a lirsrely attended m**tlnsr last nisht. diplo
matically indorsed the action of President Cut
ting In belting the fusion caucus on Thursday
last at the Fifrh Avenue Hotel, and fh- by
fon^ resolution ro-e?r.ib!!?»hed its lin»s of
c.-inimuni'iifion with the f unionist'--, having
thine* in shape no that negotiations for a -"I
ti<ket can be reopened to-day and ' <rri«*d to a
successful rompletlon.
Tli" rentiment In th<» mooting last nitrhf was
overwhelmingly in favor of staying in he fusk>n
army, and doing everything possible to malM
successful coalition.
After disruw which showed unmistakably
that the n ttment of the city ronimittee vu in
favor of fusion. the follow ins resolution, submit
ted by John Brooks Leavitt. was adopted:
Whereas this body las unanimously approved
the withdrawal of the committee of sixteen from
the conference of the anti-Tammany orsantov
tions. and has done so on the ground that the
other parties to the conference bad steadily
omitted to confer:
Resolved. Thif the committee of sixteen be
requested to take steps to ascertain whether
those other bodies are now willine to enter into
real conference, and. if so. that said committee
of sixteen is hereby authorized to onfer nltll
them.
President Cutting said last night that his con
ference committee of sixteen had had under con
sideration, and would have laid before the con
| f»»renc° last Thursday night, the name of Bor
ougl) President Littleton of Brooklyn as a can
didate for Mayor.
"But," said he. "we hiv» not seen Mr. Little*
ton and do not know whether he would accept
a nomination or not '
This probably means that if Justice Gayncr i
will not accept a nomination Mr. Littleton can,
have it. Tn answer to a question about Justice
Gaynor's availability. Mr. Cutting said:
"Th° name of Justice Gaynor wa? not brought
up to-night."
"But did not'your enmmitt"? on nomln*ti<*n«
by resolution pass on him unfavorably?" he was
asked.
"Yes." said Mr. Cutting, "1 beli*v« that is a
fact. Until that action is reconsidered it stands
as the judgment of the .-ommitfee."
STILL OPEN TO SUGGESTION.
"Th conference rommittee will mwt to
morrow afternoon at 8:30 o'dock,** said Mr.
Cutting. "We are just where we were befor*
we started in. We are not back in the confer
ence. bur we are open to suggestion. We shall
make no overtures to th« organizations that took
part in the conference on last Thursday night.
Thei-e was nothing approaching a conference in
the deliberations of the conferrees up to th«
time of the last adjournment. We were not
allowed to discuss names, and. as set forth in
our statement, wh°n the conference adjourned.
we felt that it was useless tt> continue the con
ference."
"Are you inxious to join a fusion movement
against Tammany Hall?- Mr. Cutting was
asked.
"Certainly we nr»." said h<s. '"vVe said so In
our statement last spring, and we stand by that
now."
At the meeting last ntsht James B. Butler. «f
Brooklyn, moved that the names of John Ford.
Justice ?armiel Seabury and C'iivin Tomkins
y^ presented to the fusion conference for Mayor
alty candidates. The motion was tabled.
About 125 members attended. Some of those
present were President Cutting. Dr. E. R. L.
Gould. Calvin Tomldn*. Timothy Healy, John
J. Young, Alfred J. Boulton, Abner S. Haia:ht.
F. C. Huntington, Arthur F. Cosby, John Ford.
A . H. Stebbins and James B. Butler.
MR. CUTTING'S RKP«"»RT ACCEPTED.
The first question presented was the report
of the conference committee. President Cutting
mad-* a long speech, and was liberally ap
piauded. By unanimous vote his report «aa
pted, and the action of the committee in
leaving the conference was approved. That mo
tion was, as one of the radicals put it. to "let
Mr. Cutting down easy."
Almost instantly men were on their feet ask
in if this was the end of the fusion movement
for the Citizens Union. A. H. Stebbins. OS
Brooklyn, offered a motion directing the confer
enc « committee at once to re-establish Itself
with the other fusion bodies. The language of
the motion was rather undiplomatic, and as It
grated on the feelings of the Cutting men. it
was laid Ol the table.
nPr speakers said that it would destroy th«
union and make it a laughing stock with th*
votera of th» city if it forsook fusion after its
]or time professions. This sentiment was weil
nisrh universal. Every one wanted a re-estab
lishment of amicable relations with the aatt-
Tammany bodies in the fusion movement, but
no one wanted to hurt Mr. Cutting's feellnir*
by moving a resolution of censure or disapproval
of the committee's work. Finally a modified]
resolution, dlre-.-ting the conference committea
to continue its work for fusion, was unanimously
adopted, and that is the way the matter wa»
left. The net result was an indirect reproof for
President Cutting and an op«r> door for further
co-operation with the fusionists.
"The sentiment for fusion was simply <iv*r
whelmhig," sa 1 ex-Senator Ford, "and there i 9
no doabi in my mind that by the end of th«
eek everything will be in good shape again."
CAPTAIN COSBT*S STATEMENT.
After the meeting. Captain Arthur F. Cosby
said that a resolution \\h<l been carried prac
ti(>;, mously directing the committee of
sixteen to rpop.-n negotiations with the fusion
conference.
"The mittee of sixteen will hold a meeting
at Mr. Cutting's office to-morrow at ■''■"■' •aid
Captain Cosby. rr> consider ways and means.
The same members are retained. Th«* committee,
according to the resolution. i--= uninstnicted. Thj
members wUi have to decide then whether to
send word to the fusion conference that tt«
Citizens Union would like to b~ r ea«lmitt-?d t»
th conferences. <>r to wait until soi word

"Nothing v.as decided about a ,-andidate. and
the committee Is n-.r Btructed now as to th*
adoption of any candidate put forward (>y th
Republicans or any other organization. Three
names were considered by the meeting to
night those of Senator John Ford. Judg« Sea
buo and Calvin Tomkins. Nothing d«»ctstv«
was done."
Justin Gaynor's name was not mentioned
officially at tn* meeting, but before nfl after
his chances were discussed by lembers of th*
union. Justice Gaynor has a few stanch frlendt.^
but rit;7 Union sentiment, according to i>n«
of the union's most influential members, la ;
largely against him. ,'
