SUGGUMB‘ED TO HIS WOUNDS.
Many of the Injured \Vill Probably Not
Recover—Men Thought to Have Been
Responsible For the Accident
Arraigned In Court.
BROOKLYN, Sept. 4. —— One man died
early today and 34 men and women lie in
the hospitals suffering from injuries
caused by the runaway locomotive crash-
' ing into the Coney Island bound excur-
sion train on the New York and Sea Beach
railroad at Woodlawn station, Sixty-sixth
street and-Twenty-second avenue. Of this
number 31 are now in the Norwegian
Deaconesses’ home and hospital, Fourth av-
enue and Forty-sixth street, some of whom
will have to lose their limbs and be other
Wise maimed for life; two are in the
Seney hospital. overlooking Prospect park,
and two in St. John’s hospital, Atlantic
and Albany avenues.
One of the patients in the Seney hospi-
tal, William H. Poinier of 67 Thomas
street, Newark, N. J ., died today. He
was taken from the wreck suffering from
compound fractures of both legs. The in?
juries to the left limb were of such an ag-
gravated character that Dr. Charles But-
ler and his assistant decided that amputa-
tion was necessary to give the sufferer a
chance for life. The operation was per-
formed. Poinier'rallied but slightly from
the shock, and deSpite the fact that every-
thing possible was done to save his life the
efforts of the physicians were unavailing.
Mrs. Kate Cooney of Harrison, N. J ., who
was taken to the hospital in the same am-
bulance with Pointer, suffering from a
compound fracture of the left leg, was
said to be doing nicely today, and no seri-
ous consequences are likely to result from
her injuries.
Joseph Levinson, 26 years old, of 150
Attorney street, and Joseph Freidmanvof
105 Goerck street. this city, who were
taken to St. John’s hospital, the former
suffering from scalp wounds and the
latter from bruises about the body, have
so far recovered that they are likely to be
permitted to return to~their homes. in a
day or two. They are under the care of
Drs. W. S. Hubbard and Walter Truslow.
Less Fortunate Sufferers.
The condition of the sufferers in the
Norwegian hospital, however, gives reason
for alarm on the part of their friends and
relatives. Of the 31 wounded there a
number are said to be in a critical condi-
tion. The hospital is a small building,
tients, and is in charge of the sisters at-
tached to the Norwegian Lutheran Dea-
conesses’ home. There are in all only
11 of these sisters, and they worked untir-
ingly and unceasingly during the night
and early morning, attending the wound-
ed, to Whom it was necessary to give stim-
ulating drinks at frequent intervals. To
these duties were added the task of receiv-
ing relatives of the wounded who came
in crowds to the hospital from New J or—
sey: Brooklyn and this city. The sisters
proved themselves equal to the heavy task
and received many compliments for the
quickness and thoroughness with which
they performed their work. Nor was
there any lack of medical attendance.
Dr. H. B. Delatour, who is in charge of
the hospital, and his assistants, Drs. H. P.
De Haven, Cameron and Willoughby I.
Wood, were re-enforced by Drs. Robert
Coughlin, E. D. Ferris, H. P. De Forest.
James McManus, C. E. Lock and W. R.
Schoenija‘hn.
Concerning the seven or eight patients
whose limbs it may be necessary to ampu-
tate and whose death may result from the
shock consequent upon the surgical oper-
ation, Dr. Delatour said he preferred not
to give their names at present, as there is
a possibility that the operation Of ampu-
tation may not be necessary and he does
not care to needlessly alarm the relatives
of the injured ones.
Employees Arraigned.
Engineer Jensen and Fireman Ross,
who jumped from engine No. 6 before it
came into collision with the makeup train
at Bay Ridge, as well as Engineer David
Hummell and Conductor Joseph Hilyer of
that train, Were arraigned before Judge
Rhodes in the New Utrecht police court
today.
Superintendent Richard Larke of the
Sea Beach road said that no one was to
blame for the catastrophe. “Engine N o.
6,” said he, “had been employed to aid
engine No. 3, attached to the 3:11 train,
Which connected with the Newark boat
Harlem. The train was a heavy one, and
No. 6 pushed it to the top of the long
grade that ends at Eighth avenue. The
train then Went ahead and No. 6 backed
toward Bay Ridge. At Bay Ridge a. train
was being made up to take another load of
passengers down to Coney Island. This
train was being pushed on toward the
backing engine, a. sharp curve preventing
the engineer of No. 6 from seeing this.
When Jensen saw the incoming train of
empty cars, it was too late to avoid a col-
lision. He reversed his, lever and told
his fireman to jump. The collision broke
the engineer’s cab, and a part_ of this
wreckage fell on the throttle lever, break-
ing this and throwing the throttle wide
open. There was nothing to prevent the
engine from shooting fOrward.
In this statement the men arraigned
before Justice Rhodes concur. It is this
explanation which the Brooklyn police
mean to thoroughly investigate. An ex-
amination of the wrecked engine is to be
made‘by them today to ascertain whether
or not the throttle lever was broken or
whether the engineer and fireman sprang
from the’, locomotive upon sight of the
makeup train without stopping to reverse
the engine. '

SWIN TON ANGRY.
Keir Hurdle Didn’t Give Him a Fair Show
to Speak In‘Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 4 L—The meeting at the
Auditorium under the auspices of the
Chicago labor congress was a sore disap-
pointment to the management, both as to
numbers and enthusiasm, and besides en«
gendered a good deal of ill feeling. The
small attendance was said to be due to the
fact that the rank and file‘of the working-
JOHN SWINTON.
men of the city had been given to under-
stand that it was a socialist demonstration
and that their presence would be counted
for the socialists.
Keir Hardie and John Swinton were
advertised as the speakers. Hardie spoke
at great length, and Swinton, apparently
disgruntled, took up his manuscript and
left the stage. A member of the'commit-
tee, scenting disruption, went after him,
and after Hardie had concluded succeeded
in bringing him back.
Swinton, however, was in a bad humor,
and said many cutting things, among
which was that ho had intended to address
the audience, but so much time had al-
ready been taken up that the hour had ar- ,
rived when every honest workingman ‘
should be in bed:

WILL ATTEMPT BLACKMAIL.
The Cunning Device of a Cunning Rascal.
For Money Names of Persons He Has
Known Will Be Omitted From
His Alleged Book.
'PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.—H. H. Holmes,
who is charged with wholesale insurance
swindles and with several murders and is
now awaiting trial for the killing of B.
F. Pitezel, has not been idle in crime, al-
though a closely guarded prisoner in the
Philadelphia county prison. He has en-
gineered what is obviously a cunning
blackmailing scheme. Although deprived
of writing material, and in spite of every
precaution taken to prevgnt his communi-
cating with any one outsi'de, it seems he
has written what purports to be a sketch
of his Career.
The law ofiicers of the' commonwealth
have been astounded by the publication of
“advance sheets” and the announcement
that a book, written by Holmes on the
margins of other books “in the solitude of
his cell,” will follow shortly. They will
be astounded further when theylearn for
the first time in this dispatch that the vol-
ume is the outcome of a brilliant black—
'mailing idea, originating in the brain of
the prisoner, which is all ready for work-
ing, but which the local authorities, being
thus forewarned, will perempto'rily forbid.
The scheme, worthy of a Holmes, is
this: During his travels throughout the
country he has had business and social re-
lations with many persons of undoubted
respectability. He has with a criminal
cunning kept a record of all these transac-
tions. ,
Holmes’ Despicabie Villainy.
The major portion of these friendships
were undoubtedly free from any suspicion
of wrongdoing, but he has taken advan.
tagc of them in the last villainous scheme
of his life, and they are to be made the
vehicle for securing sufficient funds for
his defense. The opening chapters of his
“book, ” published in one of the local pa-
pers, are devoid of anything that would
offend the most fastidious. They rehearse
the earlier doings of a New Hampshire
lad, whose subsequent career is not fore-
shadowed in any way. Innocent enough
as these reminiscences may be, they are
the groundwork 6f Holmes‘ bold stroke.
The papers containing the opening chap-
ters of the “book” will be mailed to those
unfortunate enough to have been classed
among Holmes’ friends before he was
known to be the murderous criminal later
events have shown him to be.
Those who knew Holmes will be in-
formed that they are to be part and parcel
of the book. Intimations will be given
that as it will be most unpleasant to be
known in connection with its author all
mention of certain names will be omitted
for a money consideration.
There are chapters in the narrative that
placé’ some of the persons referred to in a
most peculiar position. While most of
them were undoubtedly innocent of any
criminal intent certain transactions Will
be so described as to leave a false impres-
sion on the public. No honest man will
want his name printed in such connection,
and the possibilities will make him an
easy mark for the blackmailer.
A Specimen Case. .
An instance of the kind is here given:
One of the chapters is devoted to the Bos-
ton oxperichccs of Holmes and Minnie
Williams. The woman, under the guid-
ance of Holmes, entrapped a wealthy man
of family. For a time, being led to be-
lieve that he had deeply wronged the girl,
he made such occasional financial repara-
tion as he deemed proper, and the “con-
science fund” found its way into Holmes’ ‘
pocket. When Minnie Williams “dropped
out of sight,” the Boston man breathed
freer, but when the awful revelations
came his state of mind may be imagined.
Proof sheets, now being printed in a
printing office near Sixth and Market
streets, will be forwarded to the Boston
man and this proposition made: If he will
purchase 1,000 copies of the book, accom-
panying the immediate order therefor with
the retail price thereof—$1 apiece—his
name will be omitted, as well as all mat-
ter that would in any way point to him.
NO doubt the Boston man—who can well
afford it—will very promptly order the
“book” and “inclose remittance for
same.” SO will many of the others.» The
game would thus go on until Holmes
would have accumulated enough to retain
the best criminal lawyers in the country
to take up his defense. . '
District Attorney Graham is determined
to try Holmes in this city. He has already
compelled him to confess the criminal
conspiracy with Pitezel by which the Fi~
delity Mutual Insurance company was de-
frauded out of $10,000 and as a result of
which Pitezel’s life was destroyed.
