LEANDER STAYS OUT
PUTS UP A JVP AND WHIMPERS OP
UNFAIRNESS.
UMPIRE JUST CATCHES IT THOUGH
BUT THE STEWARDS SUSTAIN HIil
AT ALL POINTS.
Cornell Men were Warned of Crookedness
--Leander Can't Swim In Their llelies-
pont Sporting Life's Opinion.
Henley on Thames, July 9. The first
"flay of the Fifty-sixth anniversary of
the water derby of Great Britain was a
disappointment to all concerned. Cor
nell was pitted against the crew of the
Leander boat club composed of Ox
ford and Cambridge oarsmen and said
to be the strongest on the river.
There was some confusion at the
start owing to the presence near tihe
starting line of a number of boats
which seriously interfered with Leander
Consequently the laflter were somewhat
slow in getting into psition. Then,
when the umpire asked if the crews
were ready, Cornell promptly answered
yes, and the umpire claims Leander did
the same. This the Leander's deny. In
iny case the umpire gave the word go,
uird the Cornell crew shot away. But
only half of the Leander crew started
and their stroke protested that they
were not ready. In spite of this the um
pire allowed Cornell to pull over the
course and awarded the Americans the
race. The Leanders have lodged a pro
test against the umpire's decision and
it was referred to the board of stewards
But the board will not change the de
cision. HOW THE AFFAIR HAPPENED.
Sunday's rest and yesterday's light
practice had a permanent effect for the
better on the members of the Cornell
orew. They rose early this morning
and after a light breakfast, which had
been preceded by a. good rub down, they
arrived at the boat house at 9:20 in
good spirits and confident of-victory.
Spellman and Fennell re-echoed the
sentiment of the crew when they said,
"We will make the race of our lives,
a,nd we hope for the best result." E.
.A, Thompson of the Argonauts of To
ronto, reviewing the prospects of the
Cornell crew, in conversation with a
-representative of the Associated Press
said: ""I think Cornell will win. Their
time on the river has been faster than
that of the London crew. If they can
only keep up the gait after the ..three
quarter post, they will cross the finish
line first."
The Cornell crew left the brnt house
at 10 o'clock and paddled their racing
shell slowly to the starting point. The
weather was then warm and cloudy.
There was a light wind blowing from
the Buckingham shore, which should
turn out favorable to the American
crow.
Ait noon today, judging from the
number nf American flags flying on
ill side, and by the many familiar
faces about the water, it was estimated
there were fully 5,000 Americans pres
ent, prepared to sustain Cornell with
pheering and every other mark of en
couragement posible.
When the first crews started ait noon
9 strong wind was blowing from the
Buckingham shore, giving the crew pul
ling on that side of the river a great
advantage. The Cornell ciew when call
?d at 2 o'clock were feejing, as one of
them expressed it. "out of sight."
As Eton paddled up to position, the
public school crew was received with
great enthusiasm, and when they won
the second heat for the grand challenge
"up. beating the Thames Rowing club,
there was the loudest cheering of the
day. It was merrited. for the race was
the het puld up to that time.
COLLEGE YELLS, PERHAPS.
At 2 o'clock the Cornell team drove
through the fields to the starting ponit
the American colege boys running and
yelling after the vehicle, uttering cries
wthieh astvmrshed the Britishers. At
2.30 p. m., the leaders paddlfxl down the
course to the starting point. They look
ed in splendid form, and were loudly
cheered by the crowds on both banks
of the river.
The excitement was at fever heat
when the course was cleared in prepar
ation for the most important event of
the day. the race between Cornell and
London, in the third of the first series
nf trial heats for the grand challenge
cup. When the umpire put the crews
In position Cornell was first in place,
and Leander slowly paddled to the
point assigned to that crew. The um
pire then asked the crews if they were
ready, whereupon Cornell answered
"yes." A member of the Leander first
said "yes," and then the Leander
strokecried "no, no." The umpire an
Instant before had said "go." Leander
at the word started, half the crew
pulling for dear life, but the others
s'louted "we're not ready." The um
pire waved his hand to Cornell, which
cow had taken the water promptly
whn the word was given and shot
ahead and continued over the course.
Coxswain Beggs of the Leander crew
was in a terrible rage and scored the
umpire.
On the grand stand, among the
Americans. the feeling was one of
great disappointment. .n American
said. "Well, I would rather they had
licked us than to have the thing like
this." However, the universal opinion
among the rowing authorities here
was that Cornell could not have done
otherwise than row over the course in
the face of the umpire's orders.

events today.

DON'T FOOL WITH THE UMPIRE.
The board or committee of stewards,
this evening, issued the following state
ment: "The committee, while deeply
regretting the most unfortunate mis
understanding at the start of the Cor-nell-Leander
racerfeel that htey must
abide by the laws of boat racing, and
cannot reverse the decision of the um
pire and starter."
The members of the Leander crew are
all wild against the umpire for his de
cision in favor of Cornell, and in their
rage, they say most unpleasant things
against the Ithaca boys.
C. W. Kent, stroke of the .Leander
crew, said: "I have rowed in many
races and I never met with such un
sportsmanlike conduct. We had not
heard the umpire's say 'go when the
mess was made."
Another member of the crew remark:
ed: "We do not want any more such
crews as Cornell. After hearing the de
cision of the committee of stewards,
Kent cried out: "Well, I never want
any more to do with Americans or their
crews."
"Thoy are not sportsmen," said an
other member of the Leanders, and
this is why Yale and Harvard won't
row them. They are not wanted in
England again. The only satisfaction
is that they will get a good licking to
morrow." NOT HOT, NOR NOTHING.
A determined effort is being made by
the Britishers, led by the Leanders, to
place the Cornell crew in the wrong
and put the whole responsibility for
the outcome upon their shoulders. The
Leanders and their sympathizers ig
nore the decision of their own umpire,
which Is upheld by this evening's de
cision of the stewards. The general cry
is, "Damn America and Americans."
As a matter of fact the Cornell crew
are not only strictly within their rights
but, in view of the umpire's orders,
they could not well have done other-
wise. It would have been a pretty
"Quixtonic" thing had they disobeyed
the umpire and returned to the post,
but meantime Leander would have
probably gone on and won the race.
It is the Leanders who are showing
a most unsportmanshiplike spirit.
Andrew S. White, a nephew of ex
President Andrews D. Whi'e of Corn
ell, said to a representative of the As
sociated Press this evening in regard
to this thing:
"It is the greatest outrage that was
ever perpetrated on God's earth. The
attempt to put he blame on our boys
is a dastardly thing. They could only
obey the umpire. Before the regetta
we were warned on all sides to beware
of the Leanders. 'They will do you In
any possible way,' it was said. 'They
will run you Into the post as they did
the French crew last year.' We were
told, even before the draw, that things
had been fixed that our race would be
against Leander. In our hearts we be
lieve that Leander went to the post de
termined not to race. We had the best
position and had beaten their best
time."
Mr. Francisco, the Cornell manager,
said: "Our boys have done just right.
It must be remembered that Leander is
not the only crew we have to meet.
Ever since we have been here we have
been unfairly treated by the British
press.
UMPIRE HAS A WORD.
Umpire Frank Willan, after the meet
Ing of the stewards this evening said:
"I could not do differently than send
Cornell along. I, myself, and Mr. Gol
die, my assistant, both saw that the
crews were ready. I gave the word,
and both seemed to start. Then came
calls from the Leanders, "No, we are
not ready.'
"Had I ordered the Cornell crew back
they might say that because they were
ahead at the start, the English umpire
rivalled them to favor their oppon
ents." This version of the occurrence can be
confirmed by the correspondent of the
Associated Press who witnessed the
race from the umpire's boat.
Sporting Life says: "Mr. Frank Wil
lan, acting umpire, has offered to give
a prize to the value of one hundred
pounds for a Leander-CornelPrace on
the day the regetta closes. It remains
to be seen whether the offer will have
any result.
"Of course, many people will blame
Willan for not calling the rowers back
but it must be remembered that there
is no appeal against the umpire's deci
sion. It was an international contest,
and any semblance of partiality to
wards an English crew would have
opened the floodgates of American
wrath.
"Far and away the best race of the
day was that of the Leander Rowing
club and the Argonauts of Toronto.
Time and again It looked as If the Ca
nadians were hopelessly done, but the
manner in which they held on suggest
ed the tenacity of a terrier and a rat.
The final burst of speed was orth
traveling hundreds of miles to see.
This magnificent struggle was an ex
cellent make-weight for the Cornell
Lea nder fizzle.
"Had it not been forF.H.Thompson's
mishao there is no telling how his race
with Hon. Rupert Guinness, in the dia
mond sculls, would have ended. The
manner in which he went after Guin
ness was a caution, and his pluck
gained many rounds of applause."
HIS LITT.L. CHILD WAS DEAD.
Pitiable Plight of the Robber Shot by the
Police in Chicago.
Chicago, July 9. The body of the
man who was shot and killed by Police
man Rosenthal in front of the Audi
torium last night has been identified as
that of Charles Gorman, who lived at
the Hotel Somerset, Twelfth and Wa
bash avnue. From the laundry mark
on his shirt he was supposed to be C.
E. Cole, but the linen was borrowed
before the shooting occurred and his
real identity was established by the
man who had befriended hfm. Monday
Gorman received a telegram in St.
Paul saying that his baby dauchter
had died the night before and urging j
him to come to her. He made every ef
fort to secure money to take him to
where his dead baby was and after re
peated failures in a moment of desper
ation, he attempted to rob Saloonkeep
er McGloin, that he might have funds
with which to go to his wife.
C. E. Cole, the man who loaned Gor
man the linen, and who Identified his
body, is In charge of a dining room of
the Union League club. He roomed at
the hotel with Gorman and kew him
well. Last night about 6 o'clock Gor
man met Cole as the latter was leav
ing the club house and showed him a
telegram from his wife, telling him of
the death of his child. He tried to sell
a large revolver to Cole but the latter
did not have the amount necessary,
51$. Then the two men tried to pawn
the weapon, but could get no more
than 56 on it. Gorman then tried to
trade it at the railroad offices for a
ticket to St. Paul, his efforts being un
successful. The two men then went
back to the hotel. Gorman was very
uneasy and about 7 o'clock said he
must renew his efforts to get the
money. He started down town and
was not seen again by Cole until his
body was identified. In Gorman's trunk
were found letters of recommendation
from various bar rooms where he had
been employed, one of them being from
the Grand Pacific hotel In Chicago. All
the testimonials spoke of him as a man
of integrity.

Enid, O. T., July 9. (Special.) J. L.
Isenburg has returned to his home In
this city after an absence of ten days.
In thee olumns of his paper, the Enid
Daily Wave, referring to the recent
shooting affray, in which Marshal Wil
liams and Register Patterson of the
land office lost their lives, each by the
hand of the other he has the following:
"We are again ait our post after an
absence from the city of ten days, dur
ing which time we were in no mental
condition to contribute anything to
these columns and the time seems like
an age to us, as we lingered on the bor
ders of nervous prostration a greater
part of the time. Our trouble was ever
in mind like a horrible dream. It came
on as unexpectedly as a loud clap of
thunder in the night time; Its fatal and
sorrowful ending created within us a
remorse and regret seldom experienced
by man under like circumstances.
"No ona outside of the near and dear
relatives of our two unfortunate fellow
citizens could possibly mourn their trag
ical demise more deeply than the spirit
penning these lines, yet, conscientious
ly speaking, we cannot see where we
are so much to blame as ithe harsh crit
icisms indicate, unless it be in inadvert
antly arousing the desperately madden
ed passion which started the trouble
which ended in a fatal duel.
"We shall always feel thankful and
grateful to our friends .who nobly stood
by us through the trying ordeal and
we have no words of censure or feelings
of enmity toward any fellow citizen
who may have criticized us harshly
during the first hours and days when
death and sorrow enshrouded the home
and streets of our young city.
"The mistakes of the past cannot be
altered or amended: we can only look
forward to the future, ever hoping that
the blight which so suddenly overtook
us in our pathway may not destroy
whatever use we may be to our fellow
man in this world, as it sterns that the
mighty hand of providence saved our
life, for what end no man can fathom.
"We are glad to be at home again
with the family and mingle as of yore
among ithe citizens of Enid in the publi
cation of the Wave, which will continue
to reach its readers regularly.
DIVORCE IN A BUNCO GAME.
Oklahoma Swindler TelU n New Story to
Two Innocent Farmers.
Guthrie. O. T., July 9. John and
James McMain, two poor farmers liv
ing near Pawnee, were here yesterday,
told of being buncoed by crook named
J. D. Waltman, who hails from Colo
rado. The McMains Say that Waltman
came to their claim ten miles from
Pawnee two months ago and told
many tales of his great wealth in Col
orado, but that he had recently ob
tained a divorce from his wife and
came to Oklahoma to hide from his di
vorced wife, who was trying to get
service for alimony. He lived high at
MoMains' paying a partner's board
bill. He induced the McMain boys to
sell their claims and household goods
and go back to Colorado by promising
to make them managers of large
ranches at very large salaries. In the
meantime he obtained about $1,000 from
them and went to Arkansas City to
make arrangements for the trip, and
there the McMain boys and all their
families were to meet him. The Mc
Mains spent three days at Arkansas
City, but Waltman could not be found.
The men returned without home or
money, but some bitter experience.

FREAK OF A CRAZV MAN.
Rams Ills Head Through a Plato Glass in
Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City, O. T., July 9. Last
night about 10:30 o'clock while Doug
las, the janitor, was scrubbing out the
First National bank, a man got up on
the iron railings that protect the base
ment windows, and looked In. After
peering a moment he struck the big
plate glass with some heavy instru
ment, smashing it in. The crash of
glass frightened the janitor, and the
glass had hardly touched the sidewalk
before he came bounding through the
hole in the glass yelling loud enough to
be heard a couple of blocks. The man
who broke the glass did not move, and
was soon in the hands of the police. He
is an insane man who had tried in the
morning to get away with the express
wagon. The bank was thoroughly
guarded during the remainder of the
night, for Douglas sat facing the hole
in the window all night, armed with a
big revolver.
NOW DAWES .MAKES A PLAY.
He Threatens to Appoint Assistants in Sev
eral Kan. is Couutloo.
Topeka. Kan., July 9. Attorney Gen
eral F. B. Dawes yesterday afternoon
fnnV- afMiA sffn ti frVi rir-A l-
in the saloons and joints in several
counties in -tviuisas. no addressed a
letter to J. A. Clark, the Democratic
county attorney of Brown county; an
other to A. B. Switzer of Labetta
county; one to F. J. Harris, county at
torney of Geary county, and still an
other to J. W. Poore. county attorney
of Linn county. In each instance Mr.
Dawes give the county attorneys ten
days in which to close the joints and
saloons in their respective counties and
informs them that unless it is accom
plished by that time he will appoint
assistant generals to assist the countv
attorneys In enforcing the law.
In addressing Mr. Clark, the attor
ney general refers to paragraph 2543 of
the general statutes of 1S3. also para
graph 2545. He then says:
"1 do not believe that under the pro
visions of the prohibitory law that it
is contemplated that a county attorney
one being notified that the law was be
ing openly violated, that such county
attorneys should sit quietly in his oilice
and wait for somebody to come and of
fer to make complaint against violat
ors of the l3w. I think that when the
legislature said that he should make
diligent inquiry It meant Just what it
said. I know under the decisions of
the courts Information must be veri
fied before warrants can issue. The
court has also heid that any person
veruying suca miormation must have i Is an applicant for chief clerk of th
in mind at the time he verfles It. some j postotSce department, but this intT
particular sale or sales. This being viw. printed fa a local paper a few
the case, it is difficult for the county days since. 3s Kkely to give him ktic
attorneys to charge the unlawful saie f trouble. Richardson has suspected this
of liquors specifically, that is to say, it and today he was over a; the Interior
Is diffieut to file any Information simp- d?partment making an application for
ly charging the violator of the law with . somethinsr at rh bands of SM.-r
mankind any specific sale and many j
county attorneys have taiea advant- J
age of this fact and have seen fit to
apparently be in favor of the enforce
ment of the law and are constantly
declaring their willingness to enforce
it, providing some one having actual
knowledge will make complaint. There
has been too much of this foolishness."
Mr. Dawes refers again to the provi
sion of the statute and cites para
graph 2533 of the general statutes re
ferring to the maintenance of nuisan
ces on the part of the violators of the
law. He then says:
"The maintenance of a nuisance may
be procured by proof of sale af any per
son. Besides this proof may be offered
of the character of the people who fre
quent such places. That Is to say, the
fact that they go in sober and come
out drunk, beet kegs and altundetoma
cut drunk, the fact a bar is kept, bot
tles, glasses, beer kegs, and all those
things. Now these are things that the
county attorney in obedience to para
graph 25,43 may come In possession of
such knowledge that he can conscien
tiously verify an Information charging
the maintaining of a common nuisance.
I think that any county attorney if he
desires to be informed and he shall dili
gently inquire into the facts of such
violations' can gain sufficient knowl
edge to warrant him In charging the
maintaining a common nuisance. In
my judgement the very appearance of
a saloon, or of a place where intoxi
cating liquors are kept for sale, witn
all its bars, bottles and fixtures kept
in such a place is enough to satisfy
you or any other county attorney, that
a nuisance is being maintained at such
place."
Continuing. Mr. Dawes refers to para
graph 2.533 and recommends injunction
proceedings as the best method because
under that proceeding it is only neces
sary to file a petition. The Attorney
general mentions the complaints that
have been filed in his office touching
upon the violation of the law in Brown
county and again refers to the statutes
and cites paragraph 2,546. Continuing
he says:
"Now of the saloon business is being
carried on in your county, it Is because
you are either unable to enforce the
law or because you neglect or refuse
to enforce it, and the law is plain that
if you are unable to do so. It is my duty
to make theattempt and I shall not
hesitate to perform that duty. I. am
willing to give everyone a chance to do
his dutv before taking action and will
now say to you -that if within the next
ten days you shall vigorously proceed
to close the saloons and Joints in your
county no assistant attorney general
will be appointed for your county, but
if at the end of that time they are run
ning in your county I will appoint
enopgh assistants to close them."
The communication is closed with
the assertion: "The business has got to
stop."
Mr. Dawes writes very forcibly to
Mr. Poore of Linn county and uses the
following language in the communica
tion: "Complaint has been lodged in this
office thait salons are running openly
in vour county. If such is the case.
I urgently request that you proceed
at once to close every joint and sa
loon In your county. If saloons are
being run in your county you can
easily ascertain sufficient facts to war
rant vou in filing the necessary veri
fied information under paragraph 2.533
of ithe general statutes of 1SS9. You can
also begin a civil action enjoining the
maintaining of these nuisances. I
would spggest that you call upon the
sheriff of your county and- request him
to assist you in the enforcement of the
law in your county. Paragraph 3522
of the general statutes makes it the
duty of -the sheriff to report such viol
ations of the law to you-and assist you
in their prosecution. The law makes it
your special duty to diligently inquire
into the facts as to the violation of
this law.
"It is not for me or you to decide
as to what laws shall be enforced in
this state. It is not for us to say
that certain laws shall be enforced
and that certain other laws shall be
trampled under foot The trampling
of one law under foot is simply a
stepping stone to the violation of all
other laws. They must all be enforced
alike. It is you rduty and mine to give
just as much attention to the enforce
ment of the prohibitory liquor law as
we give to every other law upon the
statute books. It is your duty and
mine to see that this law Is enforced.
If after the expiration of ten days
vigorous action has not been taken
by you to close all the saloons and
joints in your county, I shall, under
the provisions of paragraph 2546 of the
general statutes of 1SS9. appoint an
assistant for your county with instruc
tions to close the joints."
REIIEARING IN nRIEDETIIAL CASE
It is Asked of the Supreme Court by Attor
ney General Dawes.
Topeka, July 9. Attorney General B.
F. Dawes yesterday filed in the supreme
court a motion for a re-hearing in the
suit instituted to oust John W. Breiden
rhal from the office of bank commission
er. The grounds on which the rehear
ing are asked for are that the majori
tv opinion was by two members of the
court acting independently and that one
of them. Chief Justice Martin, decided
on the theory that there is no consecu
tive term for the office of bank commis
sioner from which theory both the
others dissented.
The decission as made, says the peti
tion, conflicts with the decision made
by the supremo court In the case of
Hale vs. Bischoff, 53 Kansas, page
301, which recognizes consecutive term3
of office in such cases and that the first
term commences at the time of the ap
pointment of the first Incumbent. It is
held that it also conflicts with the de
cision in the case of lwis versus Lo
well ing, 53 Kansas, pages 201 and 202
which hoId3 that where the staute
fixes a term of office at such a length
of time as to be unconstitutional the
tenure thereof is not decidvi by law and
the office is held only during the pleas
ure of the appointing power.
"The several Justices of the supreme
court," concludes the petition, "can not
Tender a final decision such as was ren
dered in this case but nly a quorum of
such justices acting together as a court
with on" mind can do so."
Judge D, M. Valentine and Hrn. J. W.
Ady are named as counsel for the peti
tioner. WICniTA MAN IS TOO RAPID.

REPORT ON PENDER TROUBLES.
Under date of June 29 Indian Inspec
tor J. McLaughlin has made a long re
port to Secretary Smith on the subject
of the troubles between the govern
ment and the Flournoy Land company
on the Omaha and Winnebago reser
vation near Pender, Neb. It was stated
at the time j:he report was made that
McLaughlin was on his way to Wash
ington with a compromise agreement
with the settlers under the Flournoy
company.
This proves to have been untrue. The
Inspector says in part:
"Pender. Neb.. Is the headquarters
of the several organizations of specula
tors who are trying to control the In
dian lands of both the reservations.
These speculators unite in opposing the
present administration of the agency
affairs and have succeeded remarkably
in conveying the impression that they
have been much Injured by Captain
Beck's attitude In treating all illegal
leasees as tresspassers.
"Desiring to learn the cause influ
encing the illegal lessees to hold out
against leasing the lands from the In
dian allottees through the agency of
fice, I visited the Interested parties and
learned that the chief cause was that
they had given notes for this year's
rental, some secured by mortgage on
the growing crop. These notes had
been placed by the company in various
banks as security for money borrowed
by It. The lessees, therefore, fear that
should they now lease through the
agent and agree to pay the rent to the
Indians, they would also have to pay
their notes to the Flournoy company.
"This company further advises Its
lessees not to rent from the Indians,
assuring them that It had the right to
lease the lands to them and that if
they will only remain loyal to the
company they will be protected. In
some cases the company has given an
indemnity bond to its tenants. In this
way and by making false and mislead
ing statements the company has suc
ceeded in keeping many well disposed
persons from leasing under depart
mental regulations."
The report then gives the result of a
conference between a committee of set
tlers and the government officers,
which resulted in the former agreeing
to the government's position, and In
closing. Inspector McLaughlin savs he
believes matters will be quickly settled
unless the Flournoy company succeeds
In cajolling the settlers into standing
by it.
"But If." he continues, "It becomes
necessary to remove any of the settlers
by force, I recommend that the mili
tary be employed for the purpose, as
the hot heads may forcibly resist th
Indian police."
FOSTER SPEAKS FURTHER.
Mr. John W. Footer, speaking further
today of the Chinese Japan peace ne
gotiations said:
"The viceroy. Li Hung Chang, had
an Idea, though I do not know that he
had an assurance of It. that the Rus
sian government would interfere to
prevent Japan from securing any ter
ritory on the mainland of Asia and
thus the negotiations were made that
much easier.
"But the Japanss were not sure
after their negotiations with LI that
the trms of the treaty would be rigid
ly lived up to. Thy remembered some
factions of China In the past and thpy
feared that history might repeat Itself
You remember that in 1S Encland
and France, for reason? they consider
ed sufficient, waged war on China. h
war terminating with the treaty of
Tien Tsln. Regarding the matter as
settled, the two European nations with
drew their fores from China, only to
find that the latter nation had no in
tention of abiding by th terms of the
tr'-aty. which was overthrown when It
reach-d Pakin. There was nothing for
them to do but fight It all over and to
take Pekin, where the final treaty wa3
signed.
"Japan feared that there might be a
repetition of that procedure, bet I am
glad to say that such will not be the
case. Feeling that any continuation of
the war would only work further hard
ship on the defeated country, and that
the terms of the xes.c were as reason
able as could possibly be expetd. I
was stronsrly In favor of the adoption
of the treaty and urgd It on the Chl
nees envoys with th- r-ralt that it
was finally ratified at Pekin. Thre
was considerable opposition to the
treaty and many viceroys and generals
united in a protest again t lis adop
tion, but a wiser Judgment prevailed.

Quebec, Juy 9. A terrible accident
occurred on the Grand Trunk Railway
at Cruigs Roads tation, about forty
miles west of Levis, at 3 o'clock this
morning, as the result of which thirteen
persons were killed and twenty-five
more or Ws seriously injured, two of
"horn will die.
A large plfcrrtmaije from Sherbrooy,
Windsor Mills and Richmond had left
cr latter town about 10 o'clock fcutt
evendnir for tie famous Catholte shrine
of Saint Anne de Beaupre. The troln
carrying the pilgrims was divided Into
two sections, one running a few mln
ptcs behind the other. The first sect
ion reached Cralgs Roads about J
o'clock and stopped at the tank to tako
water. 3ue pTeoauton were taken and
the semaphore was thrown to mark
"danger" against the following train.
Only the train men were astir. The
Pullman in the rear was wrapped In
silence and Che sleepers were all uncon
scious of the terrible fate that wn
rushing upon them. Suddenly the sec
ond section, which htid passed the m
aphore at full speed, dashed Into th
rear Puhnan of the first section. The
engine om bedded itself into the sleep
er and the latter plunged forward and
partially telescoped the next car In
front. Every berth In the sleepr wa
filled and many of the occupant wcra
killed as they slept. Others awoke to
their horrible surroundings nutkned,
bleeding ami bruised, conscious of iVuln
e5 but the agony that sacked them
It was a terrible scene. The cries and,
moans of the wounded and dying pierc
ed the air, and on all sides, whhe as a
eanoyp served as a veil to the tragedy,
the cteam from the shattered engirt
rose In clouds that blinded all observa
tion for the time being.
The reason why the second section dkl
not heed the danger signal will pToba
bly never be known, as both the en
gineer and fireman were killed. It la
believed that Engineer McLcod. had.
fallen ajdeepat his post. No other ex
planation seems po.-tsfblc. There hat
evidently been no attempt to stop tha
ruMh of the on-coming train.
SOME NARROW ESCAPES.
The Pullman conductor, Mr. Mor
hood. had a narrow escape. He hail
luckily stepped out on the rear plat
form Just In time to seo the on-comlni?
train and Jumped. JIo thus escaped
injury. The engine of tho colliding
train seemed to rush up, then turned
completely over, pinning Engineer Mc
Leod underneath. The rest of the aec
ond train was derailed and badly
smashed up. In an Instant after tbft
crash the air was filled with tha
Ehrieks and groans of tho Injured and,
imprisoned passengers. The few
train hands and station employes oa
the spot R"t to work manfully and ex
tricated the passengers as quickly as
possible. Thirteen dead were taken
from the wreckage.
Mr. N. J. Quintan, the Grand TrunJc,
passenger agent, who was on the first
train, is not seriously wounded, and Jr
conversation with an Associated Pr,'
correspondent said he could not say;,
how he escaped death as th Pullmia
car he was In was completely thlvcred,
Into splinters.
The porter of the Pullman, Bennett?
Blalsler. sold he could not Account for,
the a ecldent. At th time he was put
ting up a berth In the Pullman.
P. McIIugh. one of the injured, said"
he was sitting In the car In front oC
the Pullman whn the occ!d-nt occur
red. He saw the locomotive of the sec
ond train coming through his car. and
he was only saved by a friend named
Simon White.
