General Woodford has not yet taken an official residence, but will continue to occupy apartments at the Hotel De Rome. ♦ HEIRESS TO $25,000,000. ,The Wealth of Imb lay Clarke Sow Claimed by Grace M. Elliott. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Oct. 24.—After a Search for heirs extending over a score of years, the vast estate of Imblay Clarke, now appraised at $25,000,000, 3eems about to come to its rightful possessor. This is the daughter of Clarke, who was a mine owner that died in Australia over twenty years ago. She Is Grace M. Elliott, adopted daughter of William H. Elliott, a saloonkeeper, who took her from the Home for the Friendless in 1878, when the matron assured him her parents were dead, that her father, Imblay Clarke, left her in the home and had afterward died in Australia. Local attorneys pronounce her papers faultless. A few days ago the Elliotts read a dispatch in the papers to the effect that Vice President Hobart and Governor Griggs, of New Jersey, would make application foi a $25,01)0,000 estate in behalf of Nan Clarke Squire, of Jersey City, and Grace Clarke, of New Brunswick, grandchildren of Imblay Clarke’s brother, and they thus received the first information that the father of their adopted daughter had possessed any property. They at once communicated •with V4ce President Hobart and intend to push the girl’s claim in the courts. Miss Elliott or Clarko is an elocutionist and has frequently taken part in public entertainments for charitable purposes here and in (Chicago. THE REASON WHY U AVI NS. # Mr. Dnnn'i) Newspaper Answers a Ruery for Constant Reader. New York Sun. Our faithful old friend, the Constant Header, who is so admirable in his constancy, and so Intelligent and discriminating in his choice of literature, turns up tills morning with a question artfully formulated as a bet for decision: “To the Editor of the Sun—Sir: Will you kindly give your decision as to the following argument: A claims that the Sun is a Democratic newspaper. B claims that it Is Republican. Who wins? “A CONSTANT READER. “New York, Oct. 13.” The Democratic party of 1897 is the Democratic party of Chicago and of the Bryan campaign. It is the only potent and efficient organization now wearing the name of Democracy. It represents those principles, those tendencies, and those purposes in contemporaneous American politics which the Sun abhors. We have accordingly repudiated its platform and opposed its candidates, and we are splitting no hairs over the venerated name itself. There is no room for warm blood and no field for serious effort in the very small company of former Democrats who, in cooperation with a larger number of mugwumps and idolaters, are maintaining the pretense of Democracy as the best tiag under which to attack the Democracy of the citadel. This is the party of Individual pride and personal comfort, rather than of definite purpose or truly conservative usefulness. It counts for precious little In the situation, and that little counts for bad, because it is a disorganizing influence wherever It shows Itself, and a discouraging, depressing sort of concern, anyway. However, most of the favorite notions and declared principles of the so-called National Democrats ore as remote from any practical relation to the duties and issues now appealing to American patriotism as are the doctrines of esoteric theosophy. An overruling Providence has decreed that the Republican party, in the closing years of the nineteenth century, should Btand for the gold standard, the one-hun-d red-cent dollar, the honest redemption of public and private obligations, the preservation of existing institutions against the assaults of the radicals and the annihilators, the material prosperity of all our industrial interests, the American Idea In our foreign affairs, and that national policy of expansion which Is to make the second hundred years of the existence of this government as wonderful and Inspiring a story as has been the first. For all this the Republican party stands, up to date, like a rook, and for all this, if the Republican party is not responsible, no party is responsible. While it so stands, and while its responsibility is such, the Sun is with It, heart and soul, in national, state and municipal politics. * That is why B wins.

Their destination is not known. Babcock’s intentions are not known. “Wild-Cat” Oil Strike. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Oct. 24.—The Manhattan Oil Company drilled in an oil well on the Harry Carrell farm, a mile and a half west of this city, yesterday. This is the first oil well ever struck in that territory, and even the most experienced oil men predicted that the prospect for securing oil in this direction was absurd. All theories were blasted, however, when the., well made such a showing as to induce the company to erect two tanks to take care of the production. The well is a “wild-cat,” and since it was struck over four hundred acres have been leased. The drill penetrated the sand seventy-seven feet, at least fifty feet more than is required in the Peru field. There is a strong gas pressure but very little water, and the conditions generally resemble those which prevail in the Alexandria field. The well is a great surprise to the oil fraternity, and only goes to show that experience in the oil business amounts to naught. Jacob Long, an alleged oil diviner, located the well and predicted that oil would be found after the company had staked it off. He said of the location: “You are right here on the edge of an oil reservoir, and when you go down 1,110 feet you will find oil.” It is a. remarkable coincidence that oil was found at a depth of 1,106 feet, only four feet short of the depth predicted by the oil diviner.

Col uni binds on the NVny to Kokomo. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. 24.-Mayor Kirkpatrick has received notice from the War Department, through Congressman Steele, that the two Fort Sumter columbiads recently donated by the government to the city of Kokomo for memorial purposes, are now on the way from Charleston, S. C., and will be here in a few days. The guns, which weigh 15,000 pounds each, have been rescued from the ruins of the dismantled fort at a cost of S4OO. Accompanying the guns are official documents certifying that they are the genuine original columbiads that, under command of Major Anderson, answered the attack on Fort Sumter in 1861. The guns on their arrival will be mounted on masonry on the highest elevation at the City Park, and carefully guarded. The state and municipal authorities of South Carolina and Charleston protested against the removal of the treasured historical relics, but were too late with their objections, the government having already issued the order for their removal to this city. The guns were secured through the efforts of Congressman Steele, who secured an order donating them to Kokomo for memorial purposes. Lutheran .Ministers Ordnincd. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 24.—This was an interesting day among the Lutherans of this city, and the church services were very largely attended.

Special to the Ir.dianai>olls Journal. * ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 24.—The Union Window-glass Company’s plants in this city were started yesterda> without any trouble, although the officers of the flattened and cutters were here. President Cake, of the flatteners, went through the plant Saturday afternoon inspecting the work, and found it good. The first blow to-day was very successful. The company signed the blowers' and gatherers' scale, ignoring the cutters’ and flatteners’ new national associations. The blowers’ and gatherers’ officers furnished all of the cutters necessary. It is thought that President Burns will arrive the first of the week, and that President Spellman of the cutters, will also arrive. There is likely to be some very Interesting clashing at the works yet. Word was received that the company at Dubois, Pa., had also signed the scale and would start. This is another victory over the cutters and flatteners. Eloper Bingham Heard From. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Flit ST STROKE IN GOLF. Many Perplexities Beset a Beginner on tlie Links. New York Press. Not until a man has tackled a golf ball does he appreciate, in all its bitterness and cussedness, the total depravity of inanimate things. He may have chased the deceitful and burrowing collar button over miles of bedroom matting in his lifetime, and he may have wrestled with the notoriously perverse baby perambulator at a grade crossin :. But until he has tried to coax a golf ball to vacate the small strip of turf to which it is clinging with both feet he has had no trials or tribulations worth speaking about. The first vicious quality which the beginner will discover in the modest, unassuming little sphere of gutta percha is its profound helplessness and terrible inertia. In baseball or cricket, or even croquet, the ball shows some inclination and willingness to do its share of the work. It will come to you, possibly, with undue violence in the head or the solar plexus, but at any rate it shows some animation, and that is just what the golf ball steadfastly and stubbornly refuses to do. It has to be addressed, that is the formal putting-green word for it, and it means just what it says. Addressing the ball is approaching 'it stealthily but formally with an unlisted club and a srrtile of misplaced confidence. With one swing you are going to drive that miserable little thing half way through eternity, and after the mud and the sections of greensward have settled down you see the thing sitting where it was before you lunged at it just as impudently as ever. If you had not smiled so contemptuously at the long, beautiful drive of the man who had brought you out to the links to teach you the game, tlie silence which follows your delirious swing would be easier to bear. No one laughs: no one even smiles—they just look at you as though you had confessed to some great weakness which they knew you had, but were not going to tell you until you found out yourself. Before endeavoring totally to annihilate the ball again the man who brought you out wili draw you aside and give you a few instructions. There are about twelve things, including both arm and leg movements, to forget in making a drive and about four which it is quite essential should be remembered. Grasp, balance, keeping your eye on the ball and following the ball with your eye are some of the Delsarte movements which, if followed out carefully, will enable you in time to land in close proximity to the ball. The first thing you will do will be to grasp the club wrong. The light hand being the simplest and the most natural way to swing a club, it goes without saying that it is wrong. In making a full drive the club, when brought back, must be held iirinly with the left hand and held loosely, like a billiard cue, with the right. While this is going on you should be facing the ball sideways and in an attitude of an exaggerated parade rest. Keeping your balance is the hardest and most trying thing next to keeping your temper which the beginner has to learn. In preparing to strike he necessarily bends forward a little and in drawing the club back he naturally raises the toe of his right foot. That is all wrong, and is even more glaringly out of form than catching the club with the right hand. He should wind the toe of his left foot firmly into the weeds and let his right foot take care of itself so long as it does not leave the ground. To keep your eye on the ball sounds too simple to be worth any serious attention. The man who can execute a half tuen with his body and still have both eyes on the ball without acquiring strabismus the first time he tries it may hope to make a successful golfer. And it is not enough to keep your eye on the ball and hit it with the proper part of your club. If you draw in your arms at the moment of striking and do not let the club fly freely out in the direction you wish the oall to take it will not onlv lose direction but force. The golfer’s position before the drive depends a great deal on the length of his club. The longer it is the more awkward his position, for the ball should be so far away that when one end of the club is touching it the other should be at the player’s left knee. The longer the club the further he has to bend over. His feet should be. according to all rules, a foot and a half apart, but if he finds any difficulty in keeping his balance he can extend them another foot. With all these minute instructions the beginner should have no difficulty at all in making his first drive In at least ten strokes. I’u inful Period. Puck.

STRENGTH OF THE NAVY ♦ THE UNITED STATES NOW lIAS 141 WAR VESSELS ALL TOLD. Wholesale Redaction in Work at the Navy Yards Threatened by Exhaustion of Appropriations. ♦ WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-In his annual report to the secretary of the navy Philip Hichborn, chief constructor of the navy, says that the strength of the navy on Oct. 1 was 141 vessels, all told, including the ships of both old and new navies. It is stated that during the last few months of the last fiscal year a considerable amount of work on vessels that had been authorized by Congress had to be suspended, owing to lack of funds. This caused a heavy drain on the new appropriations at the beginning of the present fiscal year, and makes the exhaustion of those appropriations before the Ist of next July almost an assured fact. Chief Hichborn says that this is a discouraging state of affairs, as the exhaustion means a wholesale reduction of the navy yard forces and the discharge of competent and trained men. He points to the advantage and economy of having at least one vessel building at each important navy yard. Probably the most desirable type of vessels for the purpose intended, particularly in view of the present state of the armor question, would be that of a sheathed cruiser of comparatively light draft and great endurance, with quarters for flag officers. Attention is called to the urgent need of improving the navy yard plants in the interest of economical execution of work, and estimates are submitted for each yard. The plants at New York. Norfolk and Mare island require additions, alterations and repairs to keep them up to a proper state of efficiency, while the yards at Boston, Portsmouth and League island, though not actively engaged, should be put in condition that would enable them to work advantageously at short notice should occasion require. A plant at Puget sound is also said to be necessary. During the last year the government accepted finally four ships—the Massachusetts, Oregon, Ericsson and Brooklyn, while eleven vessels have been accepted preliminarily and subject to final test, viz.—lowa, Nashville, Wilmington, Helena, Annapolis. Vicksburg, Newport, Wheeling, Marietta, Porter and Foote. Particular attention is invited to the good results attending the construction of the lowa. It is shown that this efficient vessel is able to carry 212 tons more than was calculated on for her designed draft. The changes in her case cost only about 2 per cent, of the contract price. Os the gunboats, the report says that their first cost was remarkably low, aggregating about $2,000,000 for the nine, or not more than the cost of a first-class armored cruiser. The cost of their maintenance, particularly with copper bottoms and considerable sail power, should be a minimum. The chief constructor, who is charged with the duty of docking ships, makes an urgent plea for more and better docks, stating that the navy has been at a serious inconvenience during the past six months for lack of proper facilities for docking battle ships. The bureau believes that the necessity for an additional dock is most urgent at Mare island, and on the Atlantic coast, at Portsmouth and Boston, while a larger dock at Norfolk and League island would be a decided advantage. Further consideration is also urged on the merits of the Algiers, La., site as a dry dock, and it is urged that all the docks should be ready in two years. Chief Hichborn, under the head of armor, renews his suggestion that the department should no longer make separate contracts for ships and their armor, but should permit the ship builder to supply the armor.

TWENTY-EIGHT DEAD. (Concluded from First Paige.) want to say that the porters, although frightened, showed great bravery and saved many lives." WORK FOR THE DOCTORS. One of the trainmen who. survived the disaster made it his first duty to run to the nearest signal tower to telegraph for help. The place where the wreck occurred is rather isolated. It is just at the entrance to what is known as King’s Cut, three miles south of Garrison's Station, and five miles north of Peekskill. Two other express trains were following close behind the ill-fated State express, and the engine of one of them was sent to Garrison’s for General Manager J. M. Toucey, who lives there, while the other engine harried to Peeksiskill for medical aid. Mr. Toucey was the first official of the railroad at the scene, reaching there at 7:30 o’clock. The engine which brought him there steamed to Cold Spring and returned with Drs. Winslow, Phillebrown and Murdock, in the meantime. Drs. Charles and Perley Mason, J. M. Tilden, P. C. Snowden and E. D. Lynn had arrived, and all the doctors wore soon at work among the injured. Os the dramatic horror of the situation in the combination car when it left the track and struck the water, perhaps the best account is had from the story of Herman Acker, of Peekskill, the baggageman and mail sorter. Acker was suffering badly from shock when seen, but the scenes he graphically described. He said: “John Shaw, agent for the Westcott Express Company, and myself were in the compartment, when suddenly there was a terrible bump, and then a rush of water that forced us towards the ceiling. The car seemed to turn completely over, and had filled with water to within about a foot of the top. When we struck the car whirled completely around, the end which the Chinese occupied being under water, while our end was tilted up. We swam around and got a ventilator open, and, noting the situation, got an ax from a toolbox, which was afloat, and smashed a panel in the end of the car. We crawled through the hole and a lowboat took us ashore.” Acker has been a railroader many years, and ha3 escaped from three serious accidents. His arm is badly cut and his body bruised. Shaw escaped injury. The first victim of tl.e disaster found was lying on shore dying. He was badly bruised about the head and body, and his right arm was cut off near the shoulder, the bleeding stump alone showing. The member was not found. The man was placed on a train and taken to Peekskill, but died on the way. The body was that of a middle-aged man. Five men were rescued from the top of a floating car a few Aninutee after the accident. They were put on a train and taken to Peekskill, about ten miles down the road. They were admitted to the Helping Hand Hcspital, where thtir wounds were dressed. Os the five three were Chinamen, and none was fatally injured. The Americans were: JOHN B. RYAN, of Jersey City, thirty jears old, badly lacerated hand, shoulder and knee. CLARENCE MORGAN, of Aurora, N. Y., aged twenty-six, broken shoulder. The three Chinamen were suffering from scalp wounds, Morgan escaped from a floating car through a broken panel and

swam ashore. Though badly hurt, he helped another passenger out. W. S. Langford, of Bayonne, N. J., was in ope of the last coaches, which remained on the tracfe;. He secured an ax, and, chopping out a panel of one of the partly submerged cars, he helped to rescue four people. At 8 o’clock one of the express trains left the scene with a man who had died on the track and about twenty-five injured persons. The dead man and five injured were left at Peekskill, where the injured were taken to the Helping Hand Hospital, while the train proceeded to New York with the rest of the injured. This train had hardly left the scene of the disaster when a special engine arrived bringing Division Superintendent McCoy and Trainmasters Wickes and Stack from Tarrytown, and almost simultaneously a wrecking train arrived from Peekskill, and another came from Poughkeepsie. The officials saw at once that the wrecking cars would be of little avail in raising the cars from their position in the river, where they v/ere almost completely submerged, so the Chapman Wrecking Company, of New York, was notified to send a river derrick and floats to raise the cars. AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT. General Manager Toucey gave out the following statement as the cause of the disaster: “The accident was caused by the bed of the railroad being washed out in some inexplicable manner. In this undermined condition the track sank as soon as the weight of the train was put on it and the embankment giving way, the train was, of course, precipitated into the river. Such conditions as this we have never looked for. Trains have been running over this spot for years and years without accident or difficulty of any kind, and this piece of track was considered as good as any section of the railroad. Not only was the roadbed the hardest kind of an embankment, but it was strengthened by a retaining water wall of solid masonry three feet thick.” Other railroad officials were of the opinion that a quicksand foundation of some kind below the water line was responsible for the sinking of the roadbed. Before 10 o’clock this morning a large number of curious spectators had gathered at the scene, coming from the near-by towns and villages by trains, wagons, bikes and boats. The number of morbidly curious steadily increased as the day wore on, and excursion boats even came from places far up and down the river, all loaded down to the water’s edge, until at midafternoon there were fully 10,000 about the wreck. It* required the utmost exertion on the part of Chief Humphrey, of the railroad police, and his force of detectives to hold these people far enough in check to allow the railroad men to proceed with their work. Chief Humphrey did good work in recovering valuables, and if there were any thieves about they got no opportunity to ply their trade. The American Express Company had a number of its agents at the scene early in the day, but they were powerless to do anything, as no attempt was made to raise their car. It was said that this car contained thousands of dollars’ worth of valuables, but the officials said that all would be recovered, as the valuables were in a stationary safe attached to the car. It was at iirst thought that the express messenger, John Smith, of Buffalo, had lost his life, but it was subsequently learned that he had been rescued by one of the tugs and sent to New York with the first lot of survivors. Among the railroad men it was generally believed that A. G. McKay, of Harlem, private secretary to the general superintendent, Van Etten, had lost his life in the wreck. He was a passenger on the train and was last seen at Albany, where it was said he boarded the locomotive to ride with the engineer. If that is true he shared the fate of the engineer and fireman, at any rate he was still missing up to a late hour. The terrible evidences of the frightful wreck were visibly to-night under intensely spectacular circumstances. The great wrecking car torch threw a red glare over the men busily engaged in tearing apart the wreckage to get at any bodies that might be under it The men worked with as much energy as if there were living cr-atures to be saved and ever and anon would bring to the surface a body cramped into an abnormal position and then renew their efforts. On the top of the partly submerged cars a gang of men chopped away with axes, and the huge derrick from the wrecking train tore out the mahogany trimmings and ceilings and berths in the endeavor to recover somebody’s loved one from the wreck. In shore a gang of men worked to get the inside or uptrack so repaired that there would be no trouble in getting trains through.

THE HEAD ESTIMATED. Mnny PiuMngem, However, Are Not Accounted For. GARRISON S STATION, N, Y., Oct. 24. Before noon General Manager Toucey had formed an estimate of the number of dead, which he placed at twenty-eight, and no change in this estimate was made during the day. A. E. Racken, conductor of the Wagner cars, was able to account for all his passengers excepting five, and he was not sure that they were in the wreck, as they might have escaped and gone to New York without his knowledge. When a diver arrived fiom New York this afternoon the first thing he did was to go through the three submerged sleeping cars. He reported that he found no bodies, but said that one or more might be under the berths, which were in great confusion. It was 3 o’clock before the derrick and hoisting engine could raise the combination cars, consisting of the smoker and baggage compartments, to such a position that the top of it was out of the water. Slowiy the big load began to raise, and in a few minutes it had been turned over so that the windows were clear of the water. The body of a man came out of a window as the car was being brought to the shore. A boat was near by and the oarsmen secured the body. It was the first lifeless form of any of the passengers to be rescued. A passenger coach without seats was close at hand, and the body was curried thither and deposited on the floor. The man was about fifty-five years old. His head was partly bald and a bushy beard tinged with giay covered his face. He was dressed in cheap clothes and hjs shoes were cheap one. A G. A. R. badge was fastened to the breast of his vest. The busy rescuers did not have time then to make any in~

qulry as to who he was, but simply tore off a slip of paper, wrote "Body No. 1.” and pinned it on his coat and left him to look for others. By the time they had returned the derrick had drawn the car to the bank and the work of getting out the dead was under way. The searchers were only able to find eight Chfnamen, and they were also carried to the morgue car. They were laid in a row, numbered, and were ready for identification. The derrick next pullet! the day coach to the shore and the searching parties were able to reach it. Although it is known that there were many more persons in the coach, but six bodies were recovered, and two of these were women. They were all placed side by side. The last body was recovered at 5:45. Coroner Woods, of Cold Springs, was on the scene, and he and several assistants were soon at work at the task of identifying the bodies. Before they had begun a man, weak and looking as if he had been injured, staggered into the car. He said his name was Frank J. Dingens, of New York. He said his t>rother-in-law, W. H. Myers, of Tremont. N. Y.. had boarded the car at Poughkeepsie and occupied a separate seat from him in the day coach. Dingens was asleep w hen the accident occurred. He was a weakened by a terrible jar. He called to Myers, but before he received an answer the car was rolling over and over. Before he was aware of what had happened a window was broken and water rushed in In torrents. He made for the window and jumped out and swam ashore. He made a diligent search for his missing relative, but had not found him and concluded he was among the killed. Dingens then walked down the row of the dead. Four Chinamen were the first to meet his gaze and he did not pause to look *iat them. The fifth w*as “No. I.’ and he was not the man sought for. Four Chinamen were on the other side of No. 1. He wandered on until No. 11 was reached, when he stopped and exclaimed: “There he is!” He was deeply agitated, but after making the identification positive he went away. A search was made of Myers’s pockets and $75 in money was found. In his vest pocket was found a handsome openfaced gold watch. The searener chanced to look at it and found that the hands pointed r.o 5:40. The watch stopped at the minute of the accident. The coroner and his assistants searched the dead bodies in the hope of finding some clew to their identity. He began at No. 2, a Chinaman, without discovering anything. A quantity of money was found sewed in the lining of his clothes, but was not disturbed. In the pocket of No. 3, a Chinaman, was found a Canadian passport made out to Wan Ging. No other papers were found. No. 4, a Chinaman, was without papers. In the pocket of No. a was found a letter of Introduction to Hop Ling, of Newark, N. J., but no other name could be found. Nothing was found on the other three Chinamen. By letters and papers found in the pockets of No. 1 he was identified as Thomas Ryley, of St. Louis. He wore a gold set ring, on the inside of which was the following inscription: “Presented to Comrade Ryley by his comrades, Post 15, G. A. R.” Some small change and £25 in English money was found on the body.” No. 9 was a young man, about thirty years old, and well-dressed. A letter addressed to E. A. Green, care A. W. Otis, architect, 275 Dearborn street, Chicago, and the business card of the latter were found on him. Nos. 12 and 13 were the two women a.nd nothing could be found on them to identify them. No. 12 was a woman about thirty years old. She wore a black skirt, a checked waist, with a black silk front. The only article of jewelry that she wore was a gold band wedding ring which bore no inscription. She waji of light complexion. with high cheeck bones and light hair. No. 13 was a woman dressed in black, about twenty-five years of age. She wore a belt with a gold buckle about her waist. She was a brunette. There was nothing by w hich she could be Identified. No. 14 was evidently an Italian. A postal card was found in his pocket addressed to Guiseppe Paduano. The contents were written In Italian, and it was signed Toci Banca, 87 Park street. New York. The iuentity of No. 15, a man, is unsettled. A letter was found In his coat pocket addressed to W. S. Becker, Newark, N. _Y. In his vest pocket was found a prescription written by Dr. Thomas, of Yonkers, N Y. It was a sight that will never be forgotten, the fifteen dead forms on the floor of the car. The face of each one bore cuts or contusions of some kind. The supposition that the Chinamen had been smuggled into this country seems to be erroneous. as they were all dressed In clothes of American make. The Chinamen boarded the train at Malone, N. Y., and there were fourteen in the party, so that three are still missing. From the time the bodies were taken from the ill-fated cars thousands of morbLdly curious persons assembled about the improvised morgue. Manygained admission, on the ground that tne> wished to identify someone. With two exceptions the eyes of all the dead were tightly closed. Riley’s eyes were wide open. At 9 p. m. the corner gave orders for the removal of the bodies to undertaking rooms at Cold Springs, where they will be embalmed and held a day for identification. x Among the articles presented to the coroners jury was a letter tout'd Pff * son of the man supposed to be Thomas Reilly, of St. Louis. It was addressed to that name, and was signed “Your loyffig mother, Rachel Reilly. It told that Ellen,” who is supposed to he the writer s daughter, would sail from England where the letter was written Oct. I®, and "Toni” to meet her in New York. It is supposed that the man. who looked to be fifty years old, was on his way to meet the woman mentioned in the letter.

LORI) DOUGLASS ESCAPED. Went Down in the Wreck and Crawled Ont Almost I nhurt. NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—Lord Douglass of Hawick was in the New York Central wreck. He was coming from Toronto with S. D. Wilkinson, of London. When the crash came and the coaches were thrown into the water. Lord Douglass, assisted by Mr. Wilkinson, managed after great difficulty to get out of the coach. It wes much more difficult than it would otherwise have been, because of a lame leg, which Lord Douglass suffered from, the result of a recent accident. Lord Douglass came to this city and is now with friends at a private residence. A number of the survivors of the wreck at Garrison’s have arrived in this city, including some of the injured. Among those who were passengers on the ill-fated train and whose whereabouts are now unknown are Dr. Havershaw, J. L. Hilt, of Cincinnati, a commercial traveler, who got on at Syracuse, and Samuel Murray and Edward Whalen, bookmakers, of Buffalo. Among those who escaped, and reached this city was Fred A. Marriatt, son of the proprietor of the San Francisco News Letter. He was unhurt by the crash, but bore a few' bruises received while working with the rescuing parties. W. S. Bartholomew, of Chicago, escaped without a scratch. He was in the sleeper. Although that car was half submerged. he said that, so far as he knew none of the ten or twelve passengers was severely hurt. A. W. Maltby and wife, of Chicago, occupied berths in the sleeper. Mr. Maltby is a Chicago city official. He said: I was aroused by a crash which seemed to come directly from the end of the berth in front of mine. In a moment we were in the water. Neither my wife nor inyselr was hurt, but when we, w'ith the O Vi e,S ’K deavored to get out we found that both ends of the sleeper had been - a P^ that the doors had been so badiy jammed by broken timbers that there was no means of exit.” _______ Lord DonglnM In the Wreck, % TORONTO, Ont., Oct. 24.—Lord Percy Douglass, of Hawick, son of the Martjuis of Queensbury, left the Queen s Hotel on Saturday and caught the 5 o clock train, making connection with the fatal Buffalo special A private telegram was received here stating that he is among the dead, but later a telegram from New York said: “T ord Percy Douglass w’as not killed in the railroad wreck, lie is in this city.” HIS SON'S RELEASE. A Sv.ory of President Arthur and Secretary Cbnndler. New York Tribune. Dr. Blank is seventy years old, but his tall spare form is straiglßer than many a mans not half his age. Je was a surgeon in the Army of the Potomac for the last two years of the war. served through the Wilderness campaign, and was a factor in many things which no member of his profession in this generation will probably ever experience. The doctor lives in one of the western counties of New York, not far from Rochester. He has a son who is assisting his father in his chosen work, and who will continue with honor and ability the hereditary practice when the older physician shall have ended his humane ministrations. When this son was a boy he became possessed by an overwhelming passion sor_ a cadetship at West Point. Although his father had marked out for him a medical career and had long dreamed fair and comforting visions of an old age paired in W'atching with kindly care and advising with experienced knowledge his son’s processes of practice, he yielded to the young fellow’s blind determination with secret parental misgivings and secured for him the coveted place in the Nation’s great military school. Now, mathematics is the beginning, the middle and the end of West Point instruction. Young Blank looked brave and handsome in his uniform, and took to drill like an Irish recruit, but he went to pieces In his “math.” He failed in the January examinations and was dropped from the rolls of the academy. The boy was brokea-

hearted and wounded deeply in pride. His youth could picture no worse catastrophe. Ruin stalked grimly before him. Life was a yellow, arid desert. He could never face his friends at home. Like many a boy before him, he set forth for New York, wandered over to the Brooklyn yard, made the acquaintance of a sailor or two and enlisted in the navy. These events, insignificant to the careless great world, but tragic to a loving smaller one. took place In the first year of the administration of Cluster A. Arthur as President of the United States and of William E. Chandler as secretary of the navy. The first information the doctor received of his son’s precipitancy was a tearful, furious. heart-broken letter, boyish in its intensity, telling his ruin and reiterating hia unalterable intention never again to be seen of his erstwhile friends and companions. The doctor’s army life had made him a man of action. He thriw a few things into a satchel and reached New York the next noon. He went to the Brooklyn navy yard and stated his mission with a rough, straightforw-ard eloquence made more forcible by the strong undercurrent of paternal love. The commandant could do nothing: he was sorry, but the doctor had better go to the secretary of the navy. It was an unusual case, and perhaps he might succeed in getting the boy’s release. It was a mere improbability which had not yet taken on the character of an impossibility. To Washington the doctor went. He never stopped, even for his dinner. At the home of Mr. Chandler he was told that the secretary was with President Arthur at the White House. Both men were sportsmen, and had planned a run down the bay for duck. The secretary of the navy had gone to meet the President tor that purpose. At the White House the doctor was greeted by a servant. “Is Mr. Chandler in?” he asked the man. “Yes, sir.” ”1 would like to see him at once. „ "I am afraid you cannot see him, sir, the man replied. „ . „ “I tell you I must see him. Do you hear l Must.” The servant looked at the tall, squareshouldered old man, and met his Hashing eyes. "I will speak to him, sir; but I think it will be useless.” . The rru.n came back with the word that Mr. Arthur and Mr. Chandler were starting on a shooting trip, and that Mr. Chandler would have to be excused. Would he call again day after to-morrow? “Where are they?” demanded the doctor in tones of grim determination; and the astonished servant involuntarily pointed to a door. The doctor strode over to it and rapped, then walked in. Before him stood the President of the United States and the secretary of the navy. Two guns in leather cases were leaning against a table. A couple of boxes of shells and two cartridge belts were lying on it. The doctor had once peremptorily ordered Ulysses S. Grant, general in command of the armies of the United States, out of the line of fire at the battle of the Wilderness. He began at once to speak. "I am Dr. Blank, of B .” he announced, briefly, “and I want my son.” He told the two men the story of the boy’s foolish pride and headstrong action. They heard him with evident interest. “Your story, sir,” said Chandler, "is unusual. I fear, however, that you will have to wait. President Arthur and myself are going away this morning on a shooting trip.” And Chandler bowed. There was an interval of silence. The old man looked Arthur and Chandler full in the face. He glanced at the guns and cartridges on the table. He drew himself up. His eyes blazed. “What, sir! Do you think 1 am going to let my son stay on that ship another day? Do you think that I am going to break my heart to let you kill a few ducks? Look at me, sir! I have not eaten food for twentyfour hours. I have not brushed the dust from my coat. Have I traveled night and day to be put off that you may shoot your powder and bring home your game? Who are you? You are my servant. Who pays your salary? I do. Who owns the boat you are going on? I do. By God, sir, if you do not give me an. order releasing my boy from that ship now', you will have to fight me before you kill any ducks this day.” The room was in absolute silence whe.;' the ring of the doctor’s last words died away. Chandler was breathless. He looked at Arthur. He made a motion as if to touch a bell. Arthur, who had not moved before, stopped his hand. “Chandler,” he said. “I think that before we start perhaps you had better write that order and have it done with. I’ll countersign it.” Chandler wrote It: Arthur countersigned it. They went shooting. Tw r o days afterward the doctor ate some of the duck at the White House table. A Lusting; Impression. Atchison Globe. There seems to be nothing In the theory that time will wipe out the recollection of an injury. An Atchison woman, past seventy years of age, is made very ill by the scent of a certain flow'er, and it is traced to the fact that over fifty years ago a rival, who succeeded in stealing her lover away, always wore a bouquet of these flowers in her belt. The woman since that time has married twice and buried both husbands, but all that she has gone through since is forgotten when she gets a whiff of a certain flower. She no longer cares for the man. but she can’t forget that she once cared for him. On Truck of a Crime. Chicago Tribune. “Jenkinson,” remarked Mrs. Wipedunk3, who w’as looking over one of the morning papers, "here’s an ‘open letter to the Hon. Mark Hanna.’ ” “Does that paper print it?” asked Mr. Wipedunks. “Yes.” “Well, it seems to me,” said Mr, Wipedunks, indignantly, “It would be In a Mamed sight better business trying to find out who opened it!” Catholics I'rohlhlted. KINGSTON, Ont., Oct. 24.—Archbishop Cleary has prohibited Catholics from attending marriages and funerals in nonCatholios churches. He considers such services devoid of sacramental grace.
