distance 111 five hours. It Will make its
only stop at Middletcwn. There will
be no increase in fare on the new train,
as there is on the other Boston flyer,
the Bay state exoress.

THE MANOR WREOK.
A Defective Truck or a. Broken Frog Ro-
sponslble For the Accident.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 11.‘-—George Van Zandt
and-H. Kunklo, who sustained serious in-
juries in the wreck of the mail express on
the Pennsylvania at Manor station last
evening, are resting easy at the West
Penn hospital and may recover. Mr. Van
Zandt is a commercial traveler and resides
in New York. He is badly cut and bruis-
ed about the head , and should rs, and the
physicians at the West Penn hospital say
his skull is fractured. Kunkle lives at
Johnstown, but is employed as a black-
smith in the railroad shops hero.

The body of John Miller, the conductor,
who was killed, was taken to Derrick,
where his family resides. He was 40
years of age and had been employed on
the road for many years.

So far as could be learned, the other
injured victims are in afair way to recov-
cry.
The cause of the accident has not been
definitely determined yet. A defective
truck on the first car, which left the track,
or a broken frog, is the cause prominently
- assigned.

The wreck has been cleared away, and
trains are running as ‘usual. Superin-
tendent Robert Pitcairn and Assistant
Superintendent Trump were in charge of
the relief train, and they superintended
the clearing up of the wreck and the ban-
dling of the injured persons. They made
a partial investigation into the cause of
the accident, but Were unable to find any
defects in the track. The investigation
will be continued until the cause is
learned. .

DEATH BEFORE DISGRAOE.

A Result of the Railroad Transfer Bob-
berlos In Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 11.—-The dead body
of H. C. Litchfield, who was manager and
part owner of the Railroad Transfer com-
pany. and who was worth $100,000, was
found in his office. He had shot himself
with a. revolver and left a note stating
that he could not stand the disgrace that
attached to his company. Thomas Noland,
the company’s foreman, and others were
recently arrested for systematically rob-
bing the local railroads of freight in trans-
it. In a confession Noland implicated
Litchfield, and some of the stolen goods
Were found in thchfield's house. Litch-
field had been in business here for more
than 20 years and bore a good reputation.

Heavy Slop' at General Schofleld.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—Judge Bradley
of the district supreme court today or-
dered the discharge from custody of Cap-
tain George A. Armes, who was arrested
on the order of Lieutenant General Scho-
field just prior to the latter’s retirement
from command of the army for having
written him an insulting letter. Judge
Bradley scored the action of the late gen-
eral of, the army, characterizinglt as un-
lanul, tyrannical and capricious.

Missionary Society In Straits.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—The Congrega-
tionalHome Missionary society is in un-
usual straits financially. It is in debt to
the banks $179,000, its treasury is empty,
and inasmuch as only $100,000 of the in-
debtedness is secured by collateral tee
banks have refused further unsecured
I loans. The salaries of the home mission-

aries were due Oct. 1.

 

Cattle Die From Anthrax.

JAMESTOWN, N. Y., Oct. 11.—James P.
Walker, assistant state dairy commission-
er, reports four cases of death from r...-
thrax among: .he cattle owned by Freder r
Shultz of Concwango. They were you..g

THREE COMMANDERS.

MEN WHO WOULD LEAD EUROPEAN
ARMIES IN CASE OF WAR.

An Englishman Who Thinks It Would Be
Profitable to Make a' Technical Compar-
ison Between Viscount Wolseley and a
Russian and French General.

I ‘ sometimes his progress is stopped by a

I do not know the new commander
in chief of the English land forces. I
saw him once or twice in my life, but
this is many years ago, and in military
matters of the magnitude involved in
the supreme command of .a great army

I am afraid I should prove an incompe-"

tent critic. But I believe to a great ex-
tent in physiognomy, and if Viscount
Wolseley be not a very clever man he
ought to bring an action for libel against
his face, for he looks decidedly clever.
If there were any doubt in my mind
about his ability, it would be set at rest
by the not very enthusiastic remarks in
connection with his appointment I read
in one or two French newspapers. “You
are an irritable people, envious, jealous
and proud to a degree,” said Bismarck
to General de Wimpfien on Sept. 1,
1870. “You are an irritable people, en-
vious, jealous and proud to a degree,”
be repeated. “You were under the im-
pression that victory is an appendage
which was exclusively reserved to you. ”

Has the quarter of a century gone by
since those words were uttered made a
difference in that respect in the French
people? I Should not like to say.

It may not be altogether uninterest-
ing to look at the two men against
whom the English commander in chief
will be pitted if a quarrel should ever
unhappily break forth in Europe. I am
alluding to the commanders in chief of
the Russian and the French forces.

The Russian army contains several
men of unquestionable capacity; never-
theless, there appears to be a conscnSus
of opinion that, in the event of war,
with no matter whom, the supreme
command would virtually devolve upon
General Obroutchefi', to the exclusion
even of General Kouropatkine. I say
virtual command, for, nominally, young
Nicholas would be at the head of his
legions.

Having declared myself at the outset
incapable of judging the English com-
mander in chief from a military point
of view, I am not going to stultify my-
self by endeavoring to do this in the
case of Obroutcheif. I only repeat what
I have heard. Until very recently the
chief of Vannowski’s staff and Aid-de-
camp General Obroutcheif was, in spite
of his recognized talents, looked askance
at in Russian military circles. The
epithet “red” was invariably tacked to
his name as late as 15 years ago, and
the third section of the imperial chan-
celleric, without troubling to inquire
into the matter, placed him on the list
of ”dangerous” men “to be watched
very closely. ” .A note like that from the
Russian police becomes practically
indelible, and, aid-de—camp general
though he was, not the slightest attempt
was made to efface his name from the
list. After his exploits on the Danube
Loris Melikoff drew the attention of
Alexander II to this apparently flagrant
injustice, to this permanent insult. The
name was maintained on the list for

‘all that, but the epithet was changed

from “red” into “well meaning.” .
Obroutcheff has married a French-

woman, and is a declared partisan—or .
I supposed to be—of' an alliance with

France. His views in that respect date
from 1870, when he was an Obscure
general. I repeat, about his abilities
there is little or no doubt. After the
first checks in the Turko~Russian cam-
paign he was sent in hot haste to the
Danube. and he is credited with’havin'g
saved the Russian army from total de—
struction. Before that, though, he had
already become the intimate friend of
the heir to the throne, and the friend-
ship underwent no diminution during
Alexander III’S reign.

Wherever the scene of the next Eu-
ropean campaign of the French may be
laid, General Felix Gustave Saussier,
the present military governor of Paris,

is beforehand designated as the leader. .

Saussier is close upon 70. In spite of
his large size he is very active, but for
that size he would give one the idea of
a mousquetaire of the Louis XIV period
dressed in modern uniform. There is no
doubt about his value as a soldier,
which does not always mean an equal
value as a supreme commanderfi‘but it
is fair to state that in the battles around
Metz, a quarter of a century ago, he
distinguished himself most signally.
The famous infantry charge at St. Pri-
vat, which practically barred the prog-
ress of the Germans on that side, was
led by him.

Saussierwas one of the oficers who

signed the protest against the surrender '

of Meta. Having refused to pledge him-
self not to serve again during the cam-
paign, he was sent as prisonerof war to
Cologne. Nor would he give his prom-
ise not to escape, consequently he was
transported to a, small town on the Vis-
tula (Grandenz, I believe), and abso-
lutely sequestrated—wtthout eflect, for
he made his escape after all.

He allowed Gambetta to remain ig-
norant of all this, as well as of his re-
publican origin, and the “great trib-
une, ” whose infallible instinct has

been vaunted so much, only looked upon _
Saussier as a colonel of the.empire and '

treated him as such. After that Saus-
sier went once more to Algeria. Saus-
sier, I should say, has had more fight-
ing than any genera? in the Ranch ar-
my, but it Would be rash to say that
this made him a strategist. A bril—
liant soldier he was and is still, in
spite of his age, and as he was barely
40 when France suffered her reverses
he may have'profited by them. To many
in France herself he is an unknown
quantity. These are the two men‘ a com-
parison with whom and Viscount Wolse-
ley it would be profitable to establish,
but I mean a technical comparison.—

TRAFFIC IN TANGIER. I,
It Is Large and Continuous and Appari-
ently Conducted. Under Dimcultien-

The traffic in Tangier is large and
continuous. There is no footpath proper,
and the foot passenger has often to pick
his way among heavily laden donkeys
and camels. Sometimes he'is jostled by
Jews in dark blue jelabs andskullcaps,
the distinctive badges of their race;

burly negro slave, all in white or faded
yellow, bearing on his head a tray of
bread from the public bakehouse; some-
times he is swept into a miry corner by
half a dozen of the sultan’s cavalry,
whose richly caparisoned steeds, flow-
ing robes. flintlccks or spears, make up
altogether an imposing spectacle. Per-
haps also he may find himself confront-
ed by a huge packing case home down
the street on the back of a donkey and
supported on each side by men of color,
who alarm the neighborhood with shouts
of “balak. ”

The most- interesting sight in Tangier
—at least, from an artistic point of view
—is the SOk, or large market place for
country products. It lies immediately
outside the wall in the upper part of
the town and is approached through
the old slave market, now converted
into a. shoeing forge. In the forenoon it-
is too crowded to be interesting, but in
the afternoon, when business has some-
what slackened, scenes of varied inter-
est may be observed.

Yonder is a water carrier, with large
goatskin bag slung over his shoulder,

kle of a bell to the refreshing draft
he offers. Here is a gaunt Arab from
the Riff mountains, bareheadod, blank-
et draped and flashing eyed, interview-
ing with fierce and threatening gestures .
an obdurate looking Jew, who is evi-I
dently demanding his pound of flesh.

Near them is a country woman seated
behind a small semicircle of milk jars.

Her shriveled, wornout features can

be discerned through ‘the folds of her
coarse haik, which she holds carelessly

together with her left hand, while with

her right she lifts the lid from one of

the jars—Good Words. '

ANIMAL CURIOSITIES.

Tree Climbing Rabbits, Sheep Eating Par-
rots and Sheep That Love Snails.

It seems almost a stretch of the im-
agination to think of rabbits climbing
trees. Yet in Australia many rabbits
have somehow acquired the tree climb-
ing habit, having been forced, on ac-
count of the persecutions of dogs and
other animals, to drop burrowing and
imitate squirrels. An Australian sent
on to England recently the two front
feet of a. rabbit that had been killed on
an acacia, three yards from the ground,
and he wrote in his letter that this was
not at all a remarkable thing, andhe
had often f: and them, or'at least the
traces of their claws, on the, bark of
trees four, five and six yards high.

For a par: st to eat sheep is another,
remarkable thing, and yet the hen of
New Zealand'has become a sheep eater.
having changed to this article of food
from a purely vegetable diet. The kea
has proved a serious source of annoy-
ance to the New Zealand herdsmcn, and
methods have been taken for the destruc-
tion of the Species. ' These gay colored
little birds will out almost any kind of
meat, but it is sheep that they prefer.

They have been known to kill- as
many as 200 in a single night and have
done serious harm‘to the flocks. The
tradition of the island is that at one
time these parrots were unable to ob-
tain their usual supply of vegetable
food and that in desperation they invad-
ed the “drying rooms” and ate whatev-
er came to hand, finding sheep meat
agreeable. In Iceland almost all the
horses are fish eaters, for the reason that
the grain is scarce there and fish is
plentiful. In England sheep are known
who delight in snails. The observation
of this fact is not new; it dates back
150 years.

It is well known that a large number
of insectivorous birds become grain eat-
erswhen‘ever they find that they cannot .
procure their ordinary diet of insects.—

What Victoria Could Do.

As a matter of fact, our sovereigns
have rarely taken any active part .in
politics since George III’S time, but
they could still do some very astonish-
ing things if they chose. The queen
could dismiss every Tommy Atkins in
our army, from the commander in chief
to the youngest drummer boy. She
could disband the navy in the same way,
and sell all our ships, stores and arse-
nals to the firstcustomer that came
along. Acting entirely on her own rc-
sponsibilit y. ’she could declare war
against any foreign country, or make a
present to any foreign power of any
part of the empire. She could make ev-
ery man, woman and child in the coun-
try a‘peer of the realm, with the right,
in‘he case of ma es who sire of age, to
a seat in the house of lords.

With a single word she could dismiss
any government that happened to be in
power, and could, it is believed, pardon
and liberate all the criminals in our
jails. These are a few of the things the
queen "'could do if she liked, but it is
not necessary to say that her ni’ajesty
never acts in matters of state except on
the advice of the government for the

Awakened . Salvationists Prove Their
\ Words by Their Deeds.

PRISONERS ENDANGERED.

Walls of 3 Burning Building Fell on the
pane. Station Immediately After
They find Boon Removed-Panic
In a Tenement House.

NEW YORK, “Oct. 11.—The five story
brick building, 334 and 336 East Twenty-
third street, was. burned today. At the
fire there was a scene of panic and confu-
sionwhich put the police at their wits’ end.
Men, women and children were hurried
from adjoining tenements, and many per-
sons had . narrow escapes from being
crushed by falling walls.

No watchman was in the building at
the time the fire broke out, so that no ex~
planation as to how the blaze started is
forthcoming. Together with the cost of
the machinery the damage is set down by
the police at fully $60,000.

The first floor of the building was occu-
pied by the owner, Michael Leonard, with
his marble works. Overhead were the
headquarters of a detachment of the Sal-
vation Army—seven men, in charge of
Captain Hermansen, and all of them
Swedes. The third floor was occupied by
an adjustable folding chair company, the
fourth floor by the N ew York Gas Tubing
company and the top floor by the Auto-
matic Vending company. All of these
firms lost everything. The blaze was first
discovered by Patrolman Henry Horan of
the East Twenty-second Street station,
which is back of the Leonard building.
Noticing a. glare. which was reflected in

the windows of Second avenue houses, on

his post, be rushed around the corner.
Dense volumes of smoke and flame poured
from the rear windows on the third floor,
occupied by the adjustable chair com-
pany.

Instantly turning in an alarm, he hur-
ried around to the station house, and the
reserves were out in short order. A few
seconds later Battalion Chief Walsh, with
half a dozen truck companies, arrived,
and second and third alarms were sent out.

Salvationists In Prayer.

Although the flames were leaping from
every window at the time there was not a
sign from the Salvationists, all of whom
were wrapped in profound slumber. Half
a dozen policemen rushed up the stairs,
and, smashing -in the door, drove the sol—
diers out (in a most unceremonious man-
ner. Once in the street the soldiers, un-
der orders from their captain, began to
sing and pray.

Almost in less time than it takes to tell
it, the flames had eaten their way clear
up to the roof as well as down to the low
or floor. It became a difficult matter to
get the streams of water working. In or-
der to do so the firemen had to use the
elevated railroad structure, as well as the
roofs of surrounding houses. Three lines
of hose were also laid from the roof of the
police station in the rear. A

In the police station all was confusion,
caused by the terror of lodgers and prison-
ers.» There were three of the latter and
seven men and three women who had
asked for shelter.

All were confined in a two story exten-
sion. They were first half drowned with
water. Then when the station house it-
self was found to be in danger, Sergeant
Snyder, who was at the desk, decided to
remove them. They had scarcely been
taken under guard to the street when the
rear wall of the Leonard building fell
with a. crash on the station house prison,
crushing it completely.

Had the sergeant delayed two minutes
later it is certain that 13 lives would have
been lost.

Two Firemen Injured.

Next to the building on Twenty-third
street is a five story tenement, the base-
ment of which is used as the Galileo mis-
sion with a restaurant attached. Over-
head lived four families, all of whom
were asleep when the fire broke out. All
of these were also driven into the street
in their night clothes, as well as the in-
mates of a men’s lodging house adjoining
on the east side.

The block was soon crowded with men,

women and children, and the wildest.

kind of stories were afloat rs to loss of life.
Those, hOcher, prover groundless. No
one was injured save two firemen, John
Leddy, who jumped 18 feet fromarear
extension when the wall was falling in,
'spraining his right ankle, but saving his
life, and George Halloran of engine 25,
who was badly injured by himself and
three others losing control of the hose.

While the flames lasted the “L” road
was blocked to Harlem on the up town
side. Trains on the down track, however,
were switched at Forty-second street.
When the firemen got the flames under
control, the building and its contents were
a total loss, what was not destroyed by
fire being ruined by water. The loss is
fully covered by insurance.

Part of Missouri Penitentiary Burned.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Oct. 11.—The
Missouri penitentiary has been partly
burned. Fire was discovered in the
Strauss harness shop. The main part of
the building was so quickly enveloped
that scarcely any stock could be removed
and no machinery. The Jefierson Shoe
company’s premises were flooded. An esti-
mate places the loss at $155, 000.

The Wreck at Atlantic City.

ATLANTM CITY, Oct. 11.—-'I‘he two
masted schooner H. B. Metcalf, which
went ashore yesterday afternoon on the
bar at entering Absecom inlet, is fast go-
ingtopiecqp. The sea pounded her all
night, and she will prove a total loss.
Her crew saved nothing but the clothing
they had on- . ‘

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—-General Craig-
hill,'chlef of engineers, has returned to
Washington from a tour of inspection of
the river and harbor works in the upper
Mississippi and Missouri valleys. He
found the government projects there in a

- PITTSBURG, Oct. 11.—-An unknown man
was murdered and robbed at BOWer Hill.
An examination showed that he had been
shot. through the head and his pockets
rifliéd. The murder occurred where a gang
of tramps had been camping. Detectives
are at work on the 'case.

They-Hail With Delight Prospect of 3.
Fight at Hot Springs.

' HOT SPRINGS LIKES IT T00.

The Date Remains Unchanged — It Is
Thought That Governor Clark Will
Not Interfere—Methodist Min-
isters Meet and Protest.

DALLAS, Oct. 11.—All the members of
the Florida Athletic club at this place
Here completing their arrangements to-

I‘ay to leave town at once and transfer '

their headquarters to Hot Springs, where
it is now settled thaa‘unless something
unforeseen happens, the big fight between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons will take place
on Oct. 31.

.Word comes from Hot Springs that

Mayor Waters and the other officers of
that place are heartily in favor of the con-
test being held there, as are also all the
business men of the place. Although
Governor Clark is opposed to the fight,
dispatches from Little Rock say he be-
lieves he cannot prevent the contest, but
must rely upon the Hot Springs authori-
ties.
‘ Prize fighting in Arkansas is a misde-'
meanor and punishable only by a fine.
For this reason it is not thought likely
that a special session of the legislature
will be called to stop the fight.

Sporting M on Jubilant.

LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 11.—The sporting
fraternity of this place were jubilant over
the news that the Corbett-Fitzsimmons
fight will take place at Hot Springs. It
is believed here that Governor Clark will
throw no obstacle in the way.

He was notified ofiicially that Hot
Springs had been 'agreed upon by the
principals and their managers and replied
by saying that he I -

did not know how
he could prevent
it. He seems to
rely entirely upon
the local authori-
t i e s O f H o t
Springs.

. “About every
other man who
comes in to this of-
fice, ” said the
governor, “h a s v
something to say 3.1“"
about the fight. I GOVERNOR CLARK,
could stop the fight by taking a shotgun.
Any citizen could do that. We have a law
which says prize fights are misdemeanors,
and I believe that if an attempt is made
to pull the fight off in Arkansas the peace
officers will do their duty and arrest the
participants. I cannot go' beyond what
the law says. ”

It is not likely that Governor Clark
will interfere.

 

Hot Springs People Pleased.

HOT SPRINGS, Oct. 11.—When the an-
nounce'ment came' that the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons fight was to take place here, the
people went wild with excitement and
elation. Dan Stuart and other represent:
atives of the Florida Athletic club, to-
gether with the Hot Springs committee,
Mayor Waters and City Attorney Will H.
Martin, are expected to arrive from Dallas
tomorrow.

The Methodist pastors met here and
passed resolutions of protest against the
mill taking place here. ' The arena will
be constructed in Whittlngton park, on
the outskirts of the city. .

The Daily News of this city came out
strongly against the contest. The Daily
Sentinel as strongly favors it. Nineteen-
twentieths of the people are gratified and
want the fight to take place here.

“It would be a shame and outrage on
the name of the state should this fight be
permitted, ” said Attorney General Kins-
worthy.

“The contention made by some that as
it is a misdemeanor, punishable only by a
fine, it cannot be prevented if the fine is
paid is not in accordance with the spirit
of the law.

“It is the duty of all peace officers to
prevent any contemplated violation of
the law when it comes to their attention.
No arrangement can be made to pay the
fine and proceed with the fight any more
than a man could threaten to kill anoth~
er and after the deed was committed de-
liver himself up to be hanged.

“I am not in a position to say how far
the governor can go. I will say this,
however. I would have officers on the
train and arrest the men before they could
reach Hot Springs or the point where
they propose to fight. It is all stuff to say
the governor cannot stop the fight, be—
cause he has as much right to prevent the
commission of a misdemeanor as he has
to punish the violators after it is done.
No more law is necessary.

“Governor Culberson sought to main-
tain the honor of his state in the absence
of specific law,and when he could not do
so caused . a law to be made. Governor
Clark already has a law. It would be a
disgrace to dump this affair on Arkansas
after it has been refused entry into the
Indian Territory.” ‘ -
