Penned JTp By W»11 p> the Unfortunates Could Not Kscnpe-Death List May Be Increased. A special from Garrisons, N. Y., states that a fearful catastrophe oc curred on the Hudson River railroad Sunday morning. From the sleep that means refresh ment and rest, to the eternal sleep that knows no waking, plunged, in the twinkling of an eye, twenty-eight souls—men, women and children. Into the slimy bed of the Hudson river a train laden with slumbering humanity plowed, dragging through the waters the passengers. There was nothing to presage the terrible accident which so suddenly deprived those unfortu fortunates of life, The New York Central train left Buffalo Saturday night and had pro grossed for nearly nine-tenths of tho distauee toward its destination, when with tho great engine, plunged into the depths of the river. Neither in gineer nor fireman will ever tell the story of that terrible moment, for with his hand upon the throttle, the er< ginecr plunged with his engine to the river bottom and the fireman, too, was at his post. Behind them came the express car, the combination car and the Bleepers, and these piled on top of the engine. It is known that the morning was a trifle foggy and that the track was not visible, but if there was any break in flie lines of steel it must have been of hour very before recent happening, for only an there had passed over it a heavy passenger train, laden with hu¬ man freight. Neither is there an ex¬ planation ready. All is conjecture. The section of road was supposed to be the Very best on the entire division. What seems to have happened was that underneath the tracks and ties the heavy wall had given way and when the great weight of the engine struck the unsupported tracks it went crash ing through the rest of the wall and toppled over into the river. Then there, happened what cn the raibx'iid at any other time would have caused disaster, but now proved a very blessing. As the train coupling plunged over the^embankment the that held the last three sleepers broke and they miraculously remained ou the broken track. In that way some sixty lives were saved. V f eye witnesses, there were none except the crow of a tugboat passing with a tow. They saw the train with its light as it came dashing about the curves, nnd then saw the greater part of it go into the river. Some of tho cars with closed windows floated, and the tug, whistling for help, castoff its hawser and started to the rescue. There were in the smoker, in addi tion to the baggage man, Herman Ac ker, of PeekskilL who was in his com partment; eight Chinamen, en route, from the Canadian border to New York, and a man supposed to be Thom as Reilly, of St. Louis. AH of the^e excepting the baggage master perished. The day coach contained eighteen or SAjrarsarr How many of these escaped is not known, but nt least twelve were drowned or lulled in this ear. Behind the Hermes, with twelve passengers; tho Niobe, with eleven; the Diana, with about fifteen; Anita, nearly full, and the Backet River, with no passen gers, The total cargo of human freight consisted of something over a hundred people.

Municipal Campaign Monopolizes Atten¬ tion In tlie Gteat Metropolis. With only a few dnys remaining in which to complete the campaign, the situation in Greater New York contin¬ ues to afford large opportunities for coujectnre. So far as tho betting is indicative of results, Tammany ap¬ pears to have the best of it, although there is a lot of republican money up at odds that would prove alluring to those who have cash with which to baek up their predictions that Van Wyck, the Tammany candidate, will be chosen tho first mayor of the groat municipality. That l?ui the strength of the Citizen’s L, ? n ‘ ic ket> headed by Seth ’ w >, 13 not held . contempt shown , tho in is 111 space which is given in the journals advocating one or the other of the regular political parties. Columns and even pages are devoted to assaults up on Mr. Low’s record as a public offi cial and as the head of Columbia uni vorsity. While the Jeffersonian democracy’s strength, within certain limitations, is conceded on all sides, it is only among the most enthusiastic adherents of Henry George, who hen Is their ticket, that the claim is made that he will bo elected. The real importance of his candidacy lies in the source from w hich his votes w ill he drawn. The George!to campaign managers have virtually abandoned the claim to reg ularity in the following sentences: “Tammany hall claims to lie the regular democratic organization of this city and county. Wo dispute that claim, and although they have posses sion of tho title, which is nine points of the law, they have not as yet re csived the word of approval from Sen ator Jones or William J. Bryan, who are the leaders of the national dem ocratic party today, and I don’t think they will get it. ’' in Whoever shall bo the victor the mayoralty contest w ill win by a plu rality vote only. The total vote may be 525,000, The secretary of the Cit izens’ union asserts that Low will win with 190,000, Van Wyck receiving 135,000 nnd Tracy and George 100,000 encli. The republican claim is 210,000 for Tracy, 145,000 for Van Wyck, 90*000 for George and 60*000 for Low. In a recent article Bishop Henry C. Potter pointed out the imperative 110 - cessity of every citizen registering, He deprecated in the same article the laxity of citizens in this respect nnd moralized to a great extent on the sub¬ ject. An examination of the list showed that Bishop Potter, himself, failed to register this year. He declines to say anything about his failure to enroll as a voter. DELK GETS LIFE SENTENCE.

Officials of a Lending Company Comment on the Itecent Loss. From the New York Herald. Recent press dispatches, reporting the mysterious disappearance of n large sum of money in transit through the mails from a banking house in Chicago to one of its western corres¬ pondents, prompted an inquiry ns to tile cause for such an amount being intrusted to tho postal servioe, and, when approached on the subject, a prominent official of one of the leading express companies stated that the last year had witnessed a radical change in the trausporation of moneys, which formerly had all been forwarded by ex P ress , but were now being sent in many instances by mail, the aggregate postage and registry fees representing a difference as compared with express rates that tempted many to depart I from the old method and adopt the 1 now. The official added further that fre quent train robberies had compelled the express companies to go to great expense in equipping their through cars with stationary combination safes, which as recent “hold-ups” had prov¬ en, afford security against any at¬ tempts on the part of road agents to get at the contents, but that even should they succeed in the majority of cases little would now be obtained for 'beirpains on account of the diversion and H would^ot he unnatural expect that “Unde Sam” would the «*.“ protection ha ™ hlfl ha of , n ^« the ™11 valuable LwceTs pa cels lu 113 care , as ra ’, ., S _ press car. the Inquiry as to what steps express companies would take to regain the traffic elicited the reply that they had expended all the revenues from this source in the past ill surrounding the money with every possible protection and running down and punishing theives, nnd that they would simply wait until such losses as the one re¬ ferred to and tho attention of train robbers to this new channel for trans¬ porting moneys proved it to be neither a successful nor profitable experiment. GIRL’S OWN SCHEME. Sensational .Seuni-l to the Ileatlicock “Assault” at Chickamauga Park. A Chattanooga, Ten., special says: A sensation that has set the people of that section agog with excitement de veloped at Chiekainauga park Friday. Several months ago tho whole of north Georgia, as well as Chattanooga, was avonsei l over what was at tlie time reported to bo a brutal attempt by an unknown man with red hair aud blue eyes to assault the seventeen-year-old daughter of James Heathcock, an ern ploye of tho park commissioners. Ton or fifteen men, in a measure answering the description of “brute,’’were arrested and taken before the Heathcock women, and a lynching was only averted because they pro nouneed each “not the guilty one. ” man The girl became a mother a few days ago and Heathcock, the father, was much surprised, he having along with the public been misled by the story of the criminal assault. Ho began an in vestigation and now states that there was no criminal assault, but that the girl had been beaten into insensibility by the mother on tho occasion when she was found insensible by one of the guards aud that the story of the crira inal assault was concocted in order to save the girl’s reputation. There was a standing reward for tho arrest of tlie “fiend,” which has now been with¬ drawn when tlie facts as stated became known. AGED COUPLE MURDERED.

He „ will ... file _. hi* report , with the surgeon-general. After visiting the patients iti the city he reported sixteen cases of the fever. Ten new cases were reported Fri day - Dr. Guiteras refused , to make a state meut over his own signature, being compelled to report to the government first, he said. The doctor says that the first killing frost will exterminate tho disease. He contends the disease is not contagions and that no harm can arise from the nurses or doctors circulating about the streets. He says it is tho germ which causes the epidemic. scattered The new cases arc widely over town and are not confined to any class of people. The following dispatch has been re¬ ceived from Selma; “The committee of public health for Pal¬ las county considers the symptoms of II. I,. Cliapln tts sufficiently suspicious of yellow fever to ask Dr. Saunders, state health of¬ ficer, and Dr. Guiteras to come to Selma for investigation.” Governor Johnston is being severely roasted for deciding to modify the state quarantine so as to permit refu¬ gees to stop ut places in Alabama where the authorities have not quaran¬ tined, but a little reflection is bound to satisfy a just person that the gov¬ ernor is right.

Briefly stated the relations between the government and tho Union Pacific arc those: Tliirty-thiee years age the United States subsidized the Union loeific railroad couipauy for a lino from Oma ha to Ogden, a distance of 1,038 miles, It grfve to the company 17,000,000 acres , of the public domain on which the com pany has already realized over $30,000 j HOO. It gave to the company $;13,0C(), 000 in bonds and paid interest on these bonds for thirty year*, with the mt del-standing that when the bpnds ma hired" the company would reimburse the government for its advance. The principal of that bonded debt to the United Htates, after deducting tho government transportation nnd other payments made during the in terval now reaches $70,777,408, and the government holds in tlie sinking fund $17,062,000, leaving the net debt of tlie Union Pacific to the govern ment $58,715,408. From its inception the Uuion Fa cific has been wnstefully mismanaged; lljn rights of the government ns a creditor have been ignored; $113,000, Otfil has been wrongfully taken from its treasury and. to make a long story short, the property was, in 1894, 111 anticipation of the maturity of the goverhraent’s lien, wrecked. A syndicate of bankers was formed to get possession of the property. A profit of $54,000,000 was figured out by the syndicate wheae plan of opera tion was to buy, acquire or '//ssipate all liens prior to that of the govern ment; to settle the government’s lieu; then to readjust tho equities of the junior security holders and to reor ganize Union Pacific finances. It is for this syndicate that the reorgauiza tion committee has been acting. : FATAL HOTEL FIRE. Three I'enfda l ose Tlirir Um and Uth or* Badly Burned.
