4lbany, N. TANARUS., Sept s.—The fiendish
work of reckless devils In numan habili
meuts found venl a host midnight last night
Id a successful train wrecking on
the New York Central and Hud-
K,n River road about four miles
jouth of Greenbush. Luckily only half of
the attempted wreckkig was successful, and
no loss of life or serious injuries resulted.
The second section of the Montreal sleeper
ut of New York due here at 11:30 o’clock,
onsisting of an engine and eight
leeping cars, filled with men
omen and children was derailed, but bar
ng the shaking up of the passengers and
te bruising of half a dozen or so, nothing
hre serious than the wrecking of the train
riulted.
bringing in the stews.
liws of the wreck was brought here by
Coiiuctor McAuliffe and Max Leclere, a
cunsp ndent of toe Paris Journal , who
waikd all the way. A relief train was
at nee dispatched to the scene,
carry ig Supt. rtissell, Chief of Police Wil
lard, tree physicians and a representative
cf the ssociaied Press. Upon arriving at
the scee of the wreck the first thought was
of giviir proper attention to the injured
passeng-s. The escape of a largo number
from ii>ith was miraculous. The train,
which wh twenty-five minuteß late when
it was w icked, was running at the rate of
thirty mils per hour.
sthking the obstruction.
When tb engine struck the obstruction
on the trad it was lifted upward and the
whole trai; was thrown from the track.
The forwar part of the engine was sus
pended in ile air, and it looked as though it
might fall ii the ditch at any moment. The
engineer am fireman both stuck to their
posts. The first sleeping car contained
twenty-two nassengeis. It slid down the
embankment-uni came to a standstill on its
side. None o. the passengers in this car
were injured <xco;t by being bruised.
WORSE THAN ALL.
The second oach fared worse than any of
the others, turning a complete sumersault
and landing i! the ditch bottom side up. In
this car there vas only one passenger, Miss
Jenkins of Broiklyn, the conductor and the
porter. Miss Jenkins was at first thought
to be seriousy injured, but it was after
ward found tiat she was more frightened
than hurt.
ME THIRD CAR.
The third ar was thrown directly across
the ditch at right angles with the track,
and was at lint taken for a bridge spanning
an abyss. There were about eight passen
gers in this coach, making in all about
thirty-one passengers who were so fortu
nately saved from instant death.
The other five sleepers did not leave the
roadbed, but were lying obliquely across
the north bound track. The fourth car was
suspended in the air over the ditch, held in
place by its coupling and the resistance
offered by the other three cars.
THE ONLY ONE SERIOUSLY HURT.
Mrs. Jenkins is the only one of the
passengers needing medical attention. She
received a severe blow on the head. A
number of passengers were slightly cut by
broken glass. Supt. Bissell found a
rail jammed into the cattle guard,
and it was wedged with timbers
and securely held by fish plates, the whole
arrangement being placed in a slanting po
sition so as to lift the train clear of the
track. The results showed that the judg
ment of the fiends who placed the obstruc
tion on the track was unerring and their
purpose was successfully accomplished.
AN OBSTRUCTION ON THE OTHER TRACK.
A similar obstruction was placod on the
south-bound track a little way above where
the other obstruction was found. The
relief tram reached here at 4:10 o’clock this
morning, and ail the passengers (sixty-three
ih number), were brought back. The male
passengers say the women behaved nobly
under the circumstances. One track was
cleared by 7 o’clock. The wreckers did
their work within the space of
an hour. The first section of the Montreal
train passed safely about an hour before
the accident occurred. The wreckers ap
parently thought the next trains would be
heavy freight trains which at that time of
mght pass this spot both ways and both
fixed for them. A reward of
000 has been offered for the oapture of
the perpetrators.

car broke through tho trestle, fell fifty feet
into the stream and were smashed to pieces.
The engineer, fireman and conductor
jumped as soon as the engine began bump
ing on the ties and no one was hurt. A
passenger coach with several lumber cars
remained on the track and were stopped on
the verge of the chasm. It will take several
days to repair the break.
Ten passengers were Id a coach In the

how near death they had been until the
train had stopped and they went out to see
what was wrong.

HEARING OF THE STRIKERS.
The State Board of Arbitration Bit
ting at Albany.
Albany, N. Y.,Sept. 5. —The investiga
tion into the New York Central and Hud
son River railroad strike by the state board
of arbitration began here to-day. Chair
man Purcell was the only member present
when the session began, the other two hav
ing been detained by a wrecked train. Fif
teen or twenty of the Central’s discharged
men presented themselves and uniformly
asserted their belief that their discharge
was solely because of their membership in
the Knights of Labor.
DENY GIVING ANY CAUSE.
Not one of them would admit that he bad
given any cause for dismisal other than that
three or four of them had served on
greviance committees, but the others had
not been prominent In their order. Their
term of service with the Central company
ranged from three to twenty years. Sev
eral of them said they had been informed
when discharged that they had been dis
charged for working against the interest of
the company, but particulars were not
given.
WHAT OFFICIALS SAY.
Supt. Bissell and three or four minor offi
cials testified in regard to the discharges
that they had all been ordered by Vice
President Webb. They did not give the
discharged meu so good a character as
workmen as they claimed for themselves.
Some wero dismissed for lack of work, one
was dismissed for insubordination and three
because they neglected their work to serve
on grievance committees. The other dis
missals were for incompetency and neglect
of duty.
To-day’s session completed tho work of
the state board. They have no further
duty to perform toward either party in the
controversy. They only report to the legis
lature their conclusion and recommenda
tion.
Mr. Powderly did not come to Albany to
attend to-day's session.
A BLAZE AT PHILADELPHIA.
A Baking and a Chemical Company
Burned Out at a Heavy Loss.
Philadelphia, Sept. s.—Shortly after
6 o’clock this evening tire broke out In the
building extending from Nos. 4 to 18 South
Eighteenth street this city, occupied by the
Pyle-Knodler Baking Company and H. R.
Mulford, manufacturing chemists, and be
fore it was extinguished property to the
amount of (165.0U0 was destroyed. The
loss is about half covered by insurance,
most of the policies of which are held by
home companies.
AN INFLAMMABLE STOCK.
The baking company had just gotten in a
stock of goods, including a number of
barrels of lard, and these, together
with the flour and ohemicals In the labora
tory, made a blaze against which the fire
men were powerless to contend. The prin
cipal losers are Mulford and the Pyle-
Kuodler Company, but half a dozen smaller
concerns suffer to the exteut of (8,000 to
(5,000 each.

SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1890.
BRECKINRIDGE’S DENIAL.
TEH CHARGES OF THE RADICALS
HURLED IN THEIR TEETH.
He Chargee Chairman Rowell With
Prejudicing Case—The Allega
tion of Five Political Murders In the
Second District Pronounced False—
Regret for Clayton's Killing.
Washington, Sept. 5. lmmediately
after the reading of the journal In the
House this morning the Claytou-Brockin
ridge case was again taken up, and
Mr. Breckinridge was accorded the floor to
argue in his own behalf. He charged the
chairman of the committee on elections
(Mr. Rowell) with impropriety in preju
dicing the case. That gentleman In dis
cussing another election case has referred
to the oase from the second Arkansas dis
trict, and had declared that in that district
five political murders bad oocurred. He
called upon the gentleman to name the mur
dered man.
Mr. Rowell said that they were Messrs.
Benjamin, Smith, Bently and Clayton;
while an attempt has been made to assassi
nate Mr. - Wahl.
its correctness denied.
Mr. Breckinridge denied the correctness
of this statement and called attention to the
fact that the gentleman himself concurred
in the report which raid that there was a
suspicion only of these things being
true. He denied that the murders were
political murders. His distinguished and
lamented opponent bad been foully aud in
famously murdered, but no one had pro
duced any evidence that it was in any sense
the result of public autipathy, or had como
from a oollective or oiganized ef
fort. The state of Arkansas had
done ten times as much in money and effort
as it had ever done before to detect and
punish the guilty. The crime was a staiu
upon the state and an injury to the state,
and as long as it was left in oblivion it wx<
susceptible of being used by unscrupulous
men for political purposes.
AN INDIGNANT DENIAL.
But the men who charged either on the
floor or in the press that the people of Ar
kansas, or any group of people representing
that state had ever shown sympathy with
this infamous crime or that he (.Mr. Breck
inridge) had any knowledge of it in the re
motest degree, uttered that which was
cowardly and mean, and whioh they knew
to be faise [Democratic applause].
He then turned his attention to Judge
MoClure and stated that be had been in
formed that on the return of that subcom
mittee the republican members had in
dorsed Judge McClure for an appointment
to a high judicial position in Arkansas.
He called npon any member of the subcom
mittee to deny the allegation.
Mr. Lacey of lowa, chairman of the
subcommittee, said that he had recom
mended Judge McClure, in strong terms,
believing him to be one of the best and
most competent men in Arkansas.
Mr. Breckinridge said that he had only
alluded to the matter to show the bias of
the committee. He then proceeded to quote
from a statement made by Mr. Blackburn,
a republican, to show the bad character of
Judge McClure, the man whom the repub
lican members of the committee had
indorsed for advancement.
CLAYTON HIS BOSOM FRIEND.
Speaking of the murder of Mr. Clayton,
whom he claimed as a bosom friend, he said
that It had been stated that after the mur
der he should have resigned bis seat. Why
should he have resigned? He knew of no
fraud in the election whioh invalidated his
election. To have resigned would have
been to say that he believed Mr. Clayton to
have been murdered to affect the result of
the election. To have resigned would have
been to give force to the charges made
against his people. It was not proper
or manly to do so. The House of
Representatives was the tribunal to inquire
iuto the election. Had he withdrawn, he
would have taken the case from the repub
lican court—the only court which has any
jurisdiction over the question. He then
proceeded to criticise, in severe language,
the action of the subcommittee, asserting
that he had been denied witnesses after he
bad been promised that they would bo ac
corded him. No greater debauchery of a
free ballot had ever been committed than
that committed by the committee. No
greater crime against fair play and justice
had ever been committed than had been
committed by the official representatives
of the people clothed in the panoply of the
law. After further severe comment upon
the committee, he said in conclusion: ’’Come
pi your conclusion, aud I will take an ap
peal to the people, regardless of the party,
in the district I have the honor to represent,
on the broad ground of common honesty;
and in November they will reverse your
conclusion and the method of your conclu
sion. [Democratic applause.]
THE QUICK AND THE DEAD.
Mr. Dalzell said that nominally this was
a case between the quick and the dead; in
reality it was an inquiry by the House as to
the right of the occupant of a seat to retain
that seat. If there were to be bayonets at
the polls they should be those of the na
tional government, and not of a political
club. He read in detail testimony bearing
on the theft of the ballot-box at rhunmers
ville, and said that its theft was absolutely
necessary to Mr. Breckinridge’s return. Yot
he stood here and asserted that it had been
stolen by republicans, this republican ballot
box. The House stood dumfounded iu the
face of suoh sublime embodiment of impu
dence. He rehearsed the story of the mur
der of Mr. Clayton, exclaiming, “O, the
pity of it, my oountrymen! For this is not
Italy, but the Amencfin republic; this is
not the middle ages, but the nine
teenth century since Christ was born.
But I will notj pursuo the subjeot. Let us
leave the bleeding corpse as it was left on
that fatal night on the floor hi its blood.”
He then commented upon the backwardness
of the state of Arkansas in endeavoring to
hunt down the murderers. In relation to
the Hooper theory he invited the citation of
anything in the annals of crime which
would equal it for absolute silliness.
THE SKY RED WITH BLOOD.
The sky of the Second district of Arkan
sas was luminous with blood. From her
desecrated soil the blood of John M. Clay
ton cried to heaven, not for vengeanoe, but
for justice, and the members on both sides
were here as sacred ministers to execute her
just decrees. [Republican applause.]
The debate having been closed, Mr. Crisp
moved to recommit the case with instruc
tions to the committee on elections to re
port which one of the gentlemen received a
majority of the votes of the ISecdnd dis
trict of Arkansas.
The motion was lost by a vote of 83 yeas
to 101 nays.
The vote was then taken on the minority
resolution Mr. Rreckenridge’s
right to the scat. It was lost by a vote of
8 yeas to 103 nays.
The resolution declaring the seat vacant
was agreed to by a vote of 105 yeas to 62
nays.
The House then took a recess until 3
o’clock, the evening spasion to be for the
consideration of the private pension bills.
The boose at its evening session pa-s and
thirty pension bills and at 10did o’clock,
adjourned. v ’

Mr. Vance moved to strike out the pro
viso in paragraph 457 relating to animal*
imported specially for breeding purposes.
The proviso requires the animals to be
pure-blooded, of recognized breed, with a
record of their pedigree, etc. The motion
was defeated by a vote of 23 yeas to 34
nays.
The House bill to authorize the construc
tion of a bridge across the Snvaunah river
by the Middle Georgia and Atlantic Hail
road Company was reported and placed on
the calendar.

The Senate went back (in consideration
of the tariff bill) to paragraph 434 relating
to gloves, which Mr. Plumb had yesterday
moved to amend by strlkiug out the addi
tional rate on men's gloves. The motion
was defeated by a vote of 33 yeas to 30
nays, Mr. Plum b being the only republican

of any of its professors or tone hers," This
was agreed to.
Paragraph GOO was amended so as to read,
“Common blue clay in casks suitable only
for the manufacture of crucibles.”
Mr. Vance moved to strike out of the free
list “Common palm leaf fans,” on the ground
that they were au article of luxury. As he
made the motion he was using actively one
of those "articles of luxury.”
“Do you call palm leaf fans au article of

ENGLAND AND OUR TARIFF.
Mundella Thinks Free Trade Will
Finally Win Even in America.
London, Sept. s.—Anthony J. Mundella,
member of parliament,formerly president of
tho board of trade, speaking at Shielfleld to
night, declared that the McKinley bill was
an insane measure, and ono that would bo
most injurious to American oounnerce
and likely to prove destructive to
its promoters, but ho advised
Englishmen to remain quiet in regard to the
measure. It would be absurd to retaliate
by taxing food imports, especially when
there was a prospect of a famine in Ireland.
If the people only waited free trails would
ultimately triumph, even in America,

QUAY KF.EPS'YERY QUIET
HE BKEMB BOUND TO GRIN AND
I: HI Art HIS DRUBBING.
His Voice Raised Only Twice During
the Tariff Debate Yesterday—Talk of
Expelling Kennedy from the Housa
Not to Amount to Anything—He is
Bttll Threatening.
Washington, Kept. s.— Senator Quay
sat In sullen silence under Representative
Kennedy's challenge through another day.
He sat most of the time in his own seat
turning the pages of his red bound copy of
the tariff bill with his naked hand, and
watching it through his spectacles as he
w ted for one increase of duty after another
to keep his bargain with the high tariff
manufacturers, who gave him the money to
elect President Harrison. Twice only he
opened his mouth to say more than aye or
no, onoe, when he moved In the interest of
the fever stricken men and women and
children ol the country to take quinine off
the free list and put it baok on the dutiable
list, but this proposition was too
much even for the Senate re
publicans, and it was defeated by
23 majority, only fourteeen republicans
voting, with Senator Quay, wbilo seventeen
republicans voted against him, twelve of
thsm beiug western mu. The other time
ho asked and obtained the transfer of ani
mal* for exhibition in zoological gardens to
tho free list.
MORE CHEERFUL.
Senator Quay seemed more ohserful to
day than yesterday, the Kennedy speech
not being pressed upon him as It was yes
terday. He felt the sympathy of the re
publicans. Ho smiled at ,tlie jocose re
ma: Iu with which his republican colleagues
reatsurud their mouoplistio votes and oc
casionally ventured ou a joke himself, but
he did not rise to answer tho charges
brought to his attention by Mr. Kennedy,
nor to resign his sent in the
Senate. Neither did he announce
privately that ho was going to institute
libel suits against the journals which nub
lishod ttie charge*, nor that he contemplated
resigning the chairmanship of the republi
can national onuimittee, nor did the repub
lican senators show any reaontment against
the policy of masterly in aotivity.
PAST MIHDKKDH CONDONED.
Apparently they have oondoued all past
misdeeds of their leader and do not care
what the people think about him. They
have takeu no steps to call him to aocount,
nor to force him to call his accusers, nor
even Mr. Kennedy of Ohio, to account.
They talk with him, jest with him, and
eat and drink with him, and above all, they
obey him just os though no whisper of
suspicion had ever been uttered against him.
Senators Hoar, Dawes, Edmunds, Blair,
Aldrich, Frye, Bhoruinn aud Allison aud
ail the otbor truly good republicans are
quiet and obedient followers of the man
whom Mr. Kennedy compared to Judas Is
cariot and denounced as a criminal.
CALLOUS TO ALL ATTACKS.
Apparently those republican lenders do
not inind a little thing like that, although
they are troubled because Mr. Kennedy
broadened his arraignment so as to include
them all. Although Senator Quny seems
blind and deaf to Mr. Kennedy’* challenge,
ho is still keenly olive to the shocking im
propriety of Mr. Kennedy’s method of pre
senting it- Ho does nothing about it, how
ever, because be is waiting to see what the
Uouso will do, eipeelally as he has been as
sured that the attack can bo kept out of
the Record. If Mr. Kennedy will publish
only an expurgotod edition of hit speech,
leaving out all the affusions to Senator
Quay and the Senate, all will be forgiven,
or at all events condoned.
KENNEDY HTII.L THREATENING.
But slr. Kennedy still says, notwith
standing all the pressure put upon him, that
he proposes to publish his speech in the
Record Just as he wrote it and read it. He
bus promised, however, appare .tly not to
publish it until Speaker Reed returns. Rep
resented vfnßurrowg does not want to handle
this two-edged question if he can help it,
and Is trying to pat it off until Speaker
Reed guts back next week. Meanwhile the
Pennsylvania republicans are withholding
their resolution, whioh they do tue more
easily that nothing but a motion to oensure
or expel Mr. Kennedy would really be
effective, and this is most useful as a mean*
of bulldozing Mr. Kennedy Into keeping at
least the most disagreeable features of his
speech out of the Record.
DEMOCRATS HOLDING ALOOF.
A resolution to expel Mr. Kennedy was
prepared by Mr. Boatner of Louisiana, a
democrat, but ho was convinced by tho
democratic leaders that it would not be
wise to interfere in this ropulioan family
quarrel and so withheld it. If Speaker
Reed is re-elected by a decided majority
he is expected to handlo Mr. Kennedy very
roughly, and Mr. Kennedy is expuoted to
yield. If Mr. Reed should he defeated or
should get a comparativ ly small majority,
Mr Kennedy will probably show fight. Mr.
Kenuedy says ho has received nuinerons
expressions of approval of his coursa
from republicans In and out of the House.
He is proud of it, he says, and will not backl
down.
