knovra. ami whilo ho nay think that he trc4 personally wronged in nrt being given the deputy commissioncrship, it will be Tery ditlicult for him to convince any cue familiar with President Harrison's habit in such matters that the President ever promised him the office or authorized any one else !o do so. It is one of the best thing known in connection with Mr. Harrison s policy in the matter of appointments, that he has invariably declined to w&fce promises. When h has 60 far made np his mind as to warrant a promise lie is usually ready to make the appointment. Secretary 2s oble is anxious to have pome one at the head of the Pension Office. This evening's Star announces thatit seems to be tho general opinion that the correwpondencehas destroyed the chances of both Tanner and Dalzell tor any favors from the President in tho future. FIGHTING FOR A CAPITAL.

A Bitter Strangle In South Dakot Attempt to Illegally Tote Indians. c-'.al to th e Imlianaaoil Journal. Washington. Sept. 2S. From a telegram received at the Interior Department, and private letters, it appears that the struggle for the location for the capital of South Dakota is growing very .exciting. One of the leading candidates for a State office writes that $400,000 will not defray the legitimate expenses of four or five cities working for the prize, while the amounts being expended by railroad, land and other corporations and private individuals cannot be estimated. Some of the cities competing have gone beyond the legitimate use of money to get tho capital. They are arranging to vote Indians on tho Sioux reservation, and with that view are colonizing the red men. It is alleged that l'ieneis doing this thing. John Cain has heat a dispatch to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, in which he states that so many Indians are booked to vote for Piene that trouble is anticipated when thev fro to the polls next Tuesday. In reply the Commissioner has sent the following telegram to all Indian agents and points in South Dakota where it is probable Indians will ask to vote: Keports have been received here of apprehension of troublo at the election on next Tuesday for locating the South Dakota capital, ry fcioux Indians going from their denervation to the voting places to vote. ' Only such Indians as have nretved allotments of lands In severalty are citizens. You will caution all others at your agency against a violation of the law or breach of the peace by attempting to vote, and direct them to remain on the reservation. In official circles much interest is manifested concerning the capital location tight in South Dakota, although no preference is expressed; This election simply decides the temporary location the location for two years at the end of which time the permanent location will be determined by ballot. The impression prevails here just now that Huron or Mitchell will win, although Sioux Falls and Pierre have been prime favorites heretofore. Huron appears to have made very good combinations with distant towns. C030IA3IDEH KEIXOGG. lie Asked to Be Believed Before lie Was Ordered to Take Sir. Douglass to Ilaytl. ' "Washington, Sept 28. Secretary Tracy denies emphatically that Commander Kellogg, of the Ossipee, asked to be relieved from the command of that vessel because Minister Douglass was to sail for Hayti on her. He makes a like denial respecting the report that Commander Evans, who succeeded Kellogg in command, reported the Ossipee's boilers out of repair for a similar reason. 'In regard to Commander Kel logg," said the Secretary this morning. 'other and entirely different circumstances induced him to ask to be relieved from the command of the Ossipee. Commander Ivans wanted to go to Hayti, and is still anxious to go, and, what is more, it was not lie. but the 'officer ;.n change of tho Ossipee's engines who reported her boilers to be in bad condition. Commander Evans insisted that she was in sea-coing condition, but, as a ' precautionary measure, I sustained the ngineer, and ordered the Keaxsarge to be k 1- , 1 maue reauy ior similar tiuiy." The orders detachintr Commander Kellotre from the Ossipee and directing Cfmmander fr.vans to relieve him were made on Sent. til, the day tho Ossipee was ordered to pre pare for sea, and before it was known that Minister Douglass was to proceed to Ilavti on her. It was not until the 24th that her destination was made known by an official well known in naval circles that what Secretary Tracy calls "other and entirely dif ferent considerations" did actuate Com mander Kellogg in asking to be relieved. and it is also known that he made application for detaebmeet some time prior to the date the order was published. The Kearsarge will be ready to sail for Hayti with Mr. Douglass on board on next Tuesday morning. A Navy Department official is authority for the statement that a few officers of the Ossipee made some objection to going to Hayti with Minister uou glass. WHERE THEY LHT.

A sensational climax ended the coroner's investigation, this evening, into the Washington Heights railway disaster, a day or two ago, by which six suburban passengers on the Kock Island road were killed and a dozen persons scalded and mangled. The jury had jnst returned a verdict, holding engineer Seth Twombly and fireman Henry Le Cloche responsible for the wreck, and committing them to jail, when Le Cloche broke down, and admitted having perjured himself in swearing that Twombly was not drunk. The fireman then made an extraordinary confession, telling of his wild ride with a drunken engineer, the son of the master mechanic of the road.

Le Cloche intimated that compulsion from high officials of the company has prompted him to lie. The testimony of other train men than Le Cloche, preceding tho verdict, while not precluding drunkenness on the part of the engineer, had tended to show the lattes absolute sobriety. It was bronght out, however, that Twombly had been suspended three times dnring his service with the company for being drunk, and a year ago was discharged. He was reemployed by his father, the master mechanic. " Master Mechanic Thomas 15. Towmbly. the aged father of the engineer, testified that he had been informed by several employes that his son had reformed, and the reinstatement was on the recommendation of Mr. Kimball, assistant to the president of the Hock Island road. The master mechanic produced David Buissono, an engineer employed by the company, who took the stand and teititicd that twenty-live minutes before Seth Twombly started out he was perfectly sober. When the jury came in with a verdict that, notwithstanding the testimony, sweeningly condemned Twombly and Le Cloche, and censured other train men and the company, Le Cloche was the only directly interested person in the email crowd present. He blanched visibly, and asked for a private talk with police Lieutenant Healy. The result was a voluntary open statement by Le Cloche, who was greatly agitated. Twombly and himself, it appeared, had gone to a saloon before starting ont with the freight train that played such havoc with the passenger train at Washington Heights. Twombly drank freely, but, said Le uioche, "lie was not paralyzed drunk." Le Cloche continued: "He ran the encrine all the wav himself. I did not touch the throttle." "Was he asleep at the time just before the accident!'1 'I don't know. His head was out of the cab window at the time and he might have been asleep without my knowing it." At this point the lireman broke down completely and cried like a child. He was led away in charge of a policeman. The fireman was only recently married, and is a tine looking young fellow, though his face I ,is not a strong one. Engineer tseth Twom bly is under arrest at his home, connned to bed by injuries received iu the wreck his own drunkenness created. TELEGRAPfllC BREVITIES.

Attorney Sheldon, of Chlcapo. for the United States Trust Company, applied to the court for an order on the receiver of tho Wabash system to have the road known as the Clariada branch, connecting Roseberry, Mo., and Clarinda, la., suspended on the. ground that receipts of the branch were not fiuflicient to pav expenses. The order was refused, the court declaring that railroads are governmental inftitutlous, public conveyances and common carriers. Tlie right to build a road through private property was granted on the representation that tbe road would furnish transrtfirtAtion for the nubile. People are dependent upon such roads for transportation. Courts have no right to deprive people or tnis transportation on the showing that the road doe not pay expenses, tty obtaining the right-of-way from the people they were cut off from all other similar means of transportation, and the court has no means of knowiusr what damage to merchants would enMio from the granting ot this order. It is not the duty of the court to ascertain such facts. If the railway commissioners choose to make such inspection the court will not interfere, but no such order as this will be grunted. 1 v ease of sudden colds, and for coughs of long staidlng, tike Ayer's Cherry rectors!

NEW YORK CENTRAL WRECK

Only Four Persons Killed Outright and About a Dozen Severely Injured. Xarrow Escape of President Ingalls, of the Big r our A Honeymoon 8 Sad EndingMinister Killed-Fiiing the Responsibility. CANAJorunlE, N. Y., Sept 2$. The acci dent at midnight last night, on the Central railroad, thongh not so fatal as at first re ported, was a terrible one. Four persons were killed and a dozen or more injured. The train to. which tho accident occurred was the St. Louis and Chica go express,bound west, which, owintf to the heavy travel last night, was run in two sections. The first section left Fonda at 11:20, ten minutes late. The sections generally run ten minutes apart, which latter order, from best information obtained, seems to have been disregarded slightly last night. When the first section, Charles Averill conductor, reached a point opposite the Brandy wino rift in the Mohawk river, engineer William Weeks, of Albany, of the first section, noticed a giving out of the steam chest of his engine. lie immediatly stopped, and, as several passengers state, the hind brakeman of the first section ran back like a shot. As near as President Ledyard, of the Michigan Central, can judge, it was not over five or six minutes before the crash came. Horth, the engineer of the second section, says he made every effort to stop by applying tho air-brakes, but said they did not seem to work, and nothing was left for him to do but brace himself for the crash. lie was pitched out of. tho window of his cab and landed in such a manner as to seriously break both his legs and otherwise injure him. His fireman, John Slater, went up about twenty feet in the air and landed on top of the Boston & Albany railroad's baggage car in the rear, which struck with snch tremendous force that it was more than half way telescoped with the rear part of the engine. Baggageman E. Wilcox, of Syracuse, was thrown into one end of the car and quite seriously hurt about the head. He was the first to come to the rescue of the unfortunate fireman on top of the car, and the latter though badly shocked, was not very seriously injured. The first section was made up of a baggage, mail, express and through passenger car, besides a Wagner sleeper, the New Mexico, the private car Kankakee, of President Ingalls, of the C, C, C. & St. L. railroad, and the private car of President H. B. Ledyard, of the Michigan Central railroad. The latter car was on the rear, and was made of oak under-work and pine siding, and is said to be the strongest and most perfect car ever constructed. The fact that this car is far less damaged than the locomotive, and only the rear trucks are lifted from the track, argues well for tho solidity of the car. In the car were President Ledyard. also Ashley Pond, general manager, and Henry Knssell, of the Michigan Central railroad, also the Litter's daughter and a' Mrs. Williams, of Detroit, a guest of Mr. Pond's. In President In galls' a car, the Kankakee, was his family, also N. R. Johnson, his private secretary, of Cincinnati, and Charles Franklin, a porter, who was formerly with the Pullman company. The latter was instantly killed, all of the others escaping serious injury. The Kankakee, being next to the big Michigan Central car, was shoved with great force through the Wagner sleeper ahead, which was packed with people. The two cars telescoped, caused a terrible crash, knocked out the lights and splintered both cars. The persons in the upper berths escaped with slight injuries, several crawling out of holes m the ton of the cars. The saddest ana most terrible part of the accident befell William II. Manning and his party. Mr. Manning resided at Marquette, Mich., and a few weeks ago came East to Westport, N. Y., where he married Miss Julia Davis, a wealthy young lady. They had passed a few weeks of their honeymoon in the East, and yesterday started for their new home. They were accompanied by Sadie Boyd, a maid servant, and George W. Allen, a man servant. Mr. Manning was injured internally and was badly disfigured about the face. Ho was cut out of his berth and moved forward, where he seemed to rest easily. The physicians encouraged him, and his eyes glistened with delight that he was likely to come through alive. He was removed to the Hotel Wagner, in this place, and died soon after. His wife took everything calmly, fehe was carried to the next berth to that of her husband, and clearly stated her condition. She said: "I am all right: look alter will and feadie." QYia wna riAf 1 1 tifvlif YiAnrATfnv o a riov rtaarl UiiU V J ail 11UI AJlW sM. AiVUU is injured, and she is otherwise hurt, but not fatally. Sadie never spoke after tho crash. In upper berth No. 7 was Charles W. Weed, a liveryman at Newburg. who was t ' J. T1 . J A " " on ma way to .aiicnigan. ueiore retiring he had a chat with Kev. rrentiss Devuve. of Dayton. O.. who was to occupy the lower berth. Mr. Ueveuve told him that ho was a creat traveler, and although he usually came .hast once a year, .this time he had come fonr times. After the crash he was found with his head bent upward and dead. He had been evi dently killed while asleep. His name was learned by several railroad passes which he carried in his pocket-book. His locket watch-charm contained the pictures of two ladies, evidently his mother and wife. The next worst tumbled-up party were R. A. Fowler, Wm. H. McElrov and H. I Lewis, of the lumber firm of Bennett. McElroy & Fowler, of N ew i ork. 1 hey were all asleep. and are more or less injured, but not fatally. Thev are now at the Hotel Waener. Among the passengers in the ill-fated car was Mrs. Tate, of redonia, N.Y. She was on her way from lirooklyn. She was seriously, but not fatally hurt: also. Harry H. Adams, county treasurer, of Brooklyn, and his cashier, T. J. Farniley, and a friend. Peter Snyder, also of that citv. Their es capo was marvelous, and they have only a few abrasions to show that they were in the wreck. Judge Lamoreaux, of Ballston, and Charles E. Gontz, of the Albany Evening Journal, were on the second section, and were considerably shaken up. In the sleeper, also, were Miss McPaddtn, of Green Bay. Wis.; John Gordon, of Chicago, and Miss Higgins, of Cincinnati. The railroad presidents, with their counsel, had been attending a monthly meeting of the oflicers of the Vanderhilt system in New York yesterday. Conductor Dillon, of the second section, says hel was only nine minutes behind the first section after leaving Yosts, which is six miles east. Mr. Manning was a relative of the late Secretary Manning, of Albany. Mrs. Manning has not yet been informed of her husband's death. He was extensively interested, with Horatio Seymour and others, in lumber lands at Marquette, Mich. Mr. and Mrs. Manning were intimate friends of Hon. Matthew Hale and wife, of Albany. Mrs. Hale is now with Mrs. Manning, and Mr. Hale is expected here this evening. The remains of the Rev. P. Deveuve, of Davton, O., a middle-aged man, porter I. M. Jackson (colored), and Miss Sadie Boyle, Mrs. Manning's maid, now lie at tho undertaker's shop in Canajoharie. Miss Boyle was about twenty-eight years old. George W. Allen, who was going to Marquette, as Mr. Manning's valet, says: 'I was in the smoker when the accident happened. Mr. Manning wanted me to stay in the car with him, but I told him it was so close there. Ilpreferred to go iu the smoker. Well saia air. Planning, 'all right. I will 6ee you in liunalo when we change cars for Marquette.' So I lav in a seat smoking and when the train suddenly stopped. I did not know what it meant. The steam commenced rushing in and the passengers became alarmed, and then there came a crash. I went back to find my people, and tho first one I saw was the maid who was chopped ont of wreck and put into the baggage-car. Then they dug out a large grev headed man ( Kev.Mr.Devouve) and put him in the car beside the girl, and afterwards they found Mr. and Mrs. Manning way down below. Mr. Manning was taken to the hotel at 6:10 A. m. anQ died at 6::." Vice-president Webb, of thi Wagner Palace-car Company, says: "Tlie blame for the accident lies entirely with the engineer of the tirst section. As soon as the cvlinder-head blew out he should have slopped his train, and the rear hrakeman could have got far enough back to stop the

Bocomt sectjou. Instead of doing so ho. took his tram along at a reduced rate of speed, while the second section was rapidly training upon him. Vhn i..fi-l tnn W

was top late; there was no time to stop the ioiiowiiig tram, ana that the number or killed and injured was not ranch greater is fortunate. The second section of the train guttered no iuiury except to the engine, and this is due largely to the vcstibnling. which made the train solid and prevented anr telescoping." M. K. logaUs's Story of the Accident. Cleveland, Sept. L'S.-There was a large party at the Union Depot to-night to meet Cleve land passengers who were In the New York Cen tral railroad collision on Fridav nicht. Mr. M. E. Ingalls, of Cincinnati, president of the Biff Four, Mrs. Ingalls, Miss Ingalls, Miss Catharine Anderson, of Cincinnati, N. R. Johusou. secretary to Mr. Ingalls, and Superintendent Klee, of this city, arrived at 7 o'clock. They had a rather exciting experience in the collision, but with the exception of Mrs. Inpalli ali escaped without injury., The party oecuried President Ingalls's private car, the Kankakee, which wps the second last coach of the train. The berths In tue Kankakee ex tended across the car. When n!ked about the accident, President Ingalls said that he was asleep with his back toward the engine when the collision occurred. He was, of course, severely shaken, but sustained no bad efiects from the expciience. Mr. Johnson was thrown from his berth nearly across the car, but he also escaped unhurt. Mrs. Ingalls was thrown from her iwTth ?nd painfully lidured. She was still suffering rom her bruises this ereninjr, but was aide to walk wltn assistance. Charles Franklin, the colored porter of the Kankakee, was in tho front end ot the car and met his death In the collision. President Ingalls was ot the belief that the second section of the train must have been running at least forty miles per hour. When aaked about the air-brakes, he said: Wheu anyone tells you that the air-brakes would not work don't you believe nira. The fact of the matter Tras, In all probability, that the engineer of the second section did not see the first section until his train swept around a curve 500 feet away, and it was then too late to stop the train." 0 Superintendent Blee said the force of tho collision knocked the first train fully one hundred feet along tbe track. The cam were not telescoped, properly speaking. Tho Kankakee was forced part way Into the coach ahead, but one side of the Kankakee was in&ide and jhe other outside the car. y. ' Kev.

STORY OF TIIE SYNDICATES

How Industrial Enterprises of America Uavc Fallen Into Foreigners' Hands, Tiftj Million. Dolhn of English Capital Invested in Grain Elevators, FlonrinrMills, Breweries aBj iron Mines CniCAGO, Sept The expenditure of $50,000,000 by two Knglish svndicatcs fr-r the control of an extraordinary aggiegate of industrial enterprises in the United States was completed in this city to-day. Levy Mayer, a well-known Chicago lawyer, was one of tho agents in the great purchase, raid to him was left the matter f making public a summary of the transactions, or rather tho extended series of transactions, A pair of London corporations, headed by the present Lord Mayor of Ixnidon, Sir Henry Isaacs, are the buyers. The syndicates include in their membership a great number of British bankers aud trustee of largo estates in the United Kingdom. No business was acquired for them in the United States which has not paid, at least. 12t2 per cent a year for the past rive years. Grain elevators, flonring-niills and brewerics have been the favorite investments. The management of each of the various enterprises will be placed in American boards of directors, subject to the control of a board. 'Doesn't this tend to the establishment of it huge British trustP Mr. Mayer was asked, this evening. - "Oh. no, 7 said be "There is no combina tion. Kach enterprise is operated separately and distinctly. The plan is not ona of aggression, but of conservative, sure investments." Hostile legislation, it is learned, hasbeea cleverly evaded. The alien laws of Illinois, for example, prohibit any sale of real estate to foreigners. It was designed to prevent the acquirement of farms in Illinois by a certain British landlord for "rack renting' purposes.
