It was brought out at yesterdays session of
tbe inquest Into tbe Fourth avenue tnnbel
wreck that not only the New Haven local but
a later train ran put the Seventysecond
t street home signal on Friday morning of last
I week when the signal should have ben set at
danger
Edward Lahoy testified that he was a con
ductor on tbe New York New Haven and
Hartford ra On that Friday ha left tbe
Grand Central Dept at 005 A M with a Ja
engsr tin for Now Haven At Fiftythird
street tbe signals were against him and he was
detained for twelve minutes There was a
very dens fog and known that there had
been a wreck In the tunnel he concluded tat
t he had better get on the rear platform of
q the lAt car and see that nothing ran
1 Into him His rca brakeman was on the plat
I form with him The train entered the west
rapid tunnel and proceeded slowly t Fly
ninth street The danger signal was set
I against him there and he stopped H told
the brakeman t go back and flag anything
I which might be coming Te brakeman went
bal 600 feet and saw another train approach
il ing the mouth of the tunaL stopped there
and the brakeman returned to his trln The
train then got the signal and proceeded after
I I I a elghtinlnnt delay
I The conductor remained on the rear plat
form a the train crept slowly along They
1 jiamd the Bevntyscond street signal run
ning about eight miles a honr Between
Bovontyseoond and Eightysixth street Con
ductor Labor heard a rumbling on the track
behind Turning to bis brakeman he said
John youd better let off and go back Im
afraid that other train has got Into tho same
seclon
aeaton 1he brakoman with a red lantern In one
hand and torpedoes in the other jumped
1 and started on a run down the track It was
i FO thick that Lahoy couldnt see two let from
fl l the rear of the platform When be judged that
I tiH brakeman hml got back a hundred feet or
Li e ho beard the sharp report of the torpedo a
I It exploded Tho rumbling stopped and
his train proceeded slowly through tbe
tunnel and on to New Haven leaving
the brakeman behind He heard nothing
bitnd
more of the episode until his brakeman
cached New Haven on a later train lie asked
the brakeman I that train was in the same
block and the brakeman said yss and pot
block 200 let away The train tbe brake

Same time r
M YeS air
And you understand that according t the
pTBietn two trains cannot get on the same
bVck at the lame limey
I Thats the war tmU e n Utu
Then the unly h that t the second train
en e un y way te secon trln

running the danger signal or getting it clear
WBH It not r
18 Yes sir that Is the way I understand it

MuManus the Heventysecond street operator
but In the side tunnel which was being used
Lecause of the wreck In the main tunnel
Hn was followed by Thomas A Rlcney the

rwvuntysecond street block while the Now
1ow

question he pulled out of tho Grand Central
depot at B26 A M fifteen minutes late He

fireman called out All right Its clear and
he opened bis throttle a little He ran abend
some distance anti ttruck 1 torpedo when he

Mulatto iTamen Bandolvh
When the fact became generally known yes
terday in WUllamsbrldge that Miss Ellen Tlc
the stepdaughter ot Tallman Hyde a con
tractor and politician of that town bad been
married on Wednesday night to James Ban
dolnh the mulatto coachman of Joseph
Stlcknor there was no end of comment
Randolph la I well liked and he associates
freely with many of the white people ol his
claM Miss Tioe now Mf Randolph I a
pretty little brunette 25 years old During the
pat year Itandolph was in the habit of drop
ping In of a evening for a game of care or a
chat with Mr Hyde and the two were good
friends But when It became apparent that
there was some understanding between the
young people the family at once objected
They did not however actually forbid han
dolph the house and so the calls continued
Miss Tlca a few months ago told her mother
and brothers that she and the young mulatto
were engaged and that some day she was
going to marry him This was told to her
father and his Indignation was Intense But
tblnkmu that they could gradually win the
girl from her determination nothing was doe
that might cause scandal On Wednesday Miss
Tlce left home saying she was going to tfpend
the afternoon away and go to church In the
evening and might not be home until th fol
lowing day This was nothing unusual lor
the Hyde residence is at a little distance from
the village and Miss Tlce otten spent the night
with friends after going to church or to places
ot amusement
At the house of Henry Bkerington In the vil
lage Miss Tlce met Itandolph and going to the
Hey F M Lamb the pastor of the Baptist
Church they were joined In marrtape return
lug to Mr Bkerlngtons afterward The next
morning Randolph went to work as usual He
stopped in at Mr Hydes and notified the
parents of the marriage More sorrowful than
angry they said little excepting that they re
gretted more than they could express the hasty
action of their daughter but since she bad
chosen to give UD her home they would not try
to separate the couple
Yesterday the bride went out to sec her fam

smiths by whom are meant the manufacturers
of silverware who supply jewellers and re

terms of which they raise and lower the price
of refined silver upon a fixed scale In propor I
tion to the fluctuations In the price of bullion
When they made the advance In the fail they 1
announced the fact to the trado through n air
oular Recently when too price of bullion
dropped again they issued another circular
lowering prices t the original rate of croula

combination being the only te In the coun

having no dealings with either the smiths or
the retail trade our scheme of fluctuations in
practically Identical with their We advanced

when bullion went up and when bullion fell
hulon bulion lel
we reduced our prices to the former scale I
would be practically impossible to follow all
the fluctuations of the market and fill our

Governors moinitee In relation to the erjunll
rnllon of the bunions of taxation
In answer to the Henixtos resolution of In

Inn that existing provisions of tio statute pro
viding for exemptions for > i < t debts ba te

exemption for just debts i wncrs of per
sonal property and that proUI < n bo made to
prevent the creation of dobts fnr me vision ot
taxation by the purchase ot exempt securities
or otherwise s
The Hoards opinion of the listing system Is
that It would increase the assessed valuation
ot persounl proportr at least ode billion dol
lars within one rear after going Into effect and
would ultimately result In an equitable adjust
ment nf the burdens < > I covernmcnt among the

pire State for the year 1890 the assessed Per
sonal wan tH8532QlHl and paid of the State
tax only 118 per cent while in 1560 the Per
sonal paid 28 percent
Itom what Information the Board has been
bio to eqUur from the tax officials iu various
BUtes the listing system meets with ap
proval and Its tendency la largely to increase
the assessed personal There has been
nn chance in asssstment methods In
this State In sixty years and for many
years there has been an annual shrinkage In
the assessed valuation of personal property for
th purposes of taxation despite the conceded
act that the aggregato value of this data of
property equals or exceeds the valne of the
realty held or owned In the State The Board
continues
We regard an immediate revision of our
system of taxation as an Imperative dntr It
Is conceded brail candid and wellInformed
persons that our present system bears with
heavy weight on the only industry of our p4o
pIe which at the resent time can be said to
Le unusually deprofctted to wit agriculture
This industry asks for no favors for no ex
emptions but for an equal distribution of the
burdens of government We believe that such I
distribution would beat subsene the interest
of all classes and tnat a law which compels
the production ot the soil and the homes of
the laboring classes to bear the bulk or taxa
tion violates all correct principles of political
economy
