GENERAL HAZEN.

He Consents to an Interview and virtually
Admits the Truth of the Terrible Story
But What of Itself Preservation Is as
Much First Law North of Eighty De-
grees as in New York. .....
WASHINGTON, August l2.-Gen. Hazen
was interviewed to-day on the story printed
in the New York Times. The following is
the most interesting portion:
"Is the report that Capt. Schley called
you and Secretary Chandler into the Hes'
sells cabin and informed you the survivors
had eaten their associates falsey' was asked,
"That story IS untrue"
There is NO truth then in the remainder
of the published stories that thebodies were
eetenY'

but casually glanced at the published story
other than at those potions which | deny.

mouth that the deal men had been eatehg

"Do you excuse cannibalism in the
Greely csseT'
"Under the circumstances it would be
excusable."

report relative to this subjectY
Not that I know Of ! have received
none"

shot and afterwards eaten, ialseY ..
There were rumors at Portsmouth that
he had been killed and the survivors had

facts in his case that / might know"

investigation by the war department.
mot necessarily. Men are shot every
day in mutinies and no investigation is
made Under some circumstances it might
"Wiil there be any investigation of the
reported eating Of bOdiesg'
"An investigation could not be made
either by the War or Navy Department.
That is o matter Congress will have TO look
into. Then all the facts will be presented
and until then nothing will be given out"
The Whole Story.
General Hazen says Lieutenant Greely's
report on the entire expedition will probably
be forwarded to him within a month.
While it was generally conceded there
were no records in Washington that would
substantiate the story, both army and navy
officers among themselves did not view it as
an impossibiiity by any means. Said a
naval officer in the corridor of the Navy
Department While there is no reason |
know of for believing the story, the fact
that there are no records to substantiate it
does not disprove it, Look at
il as true. is there anything
improbable abont it; you and |, standing
here with all hfe's comforts about us, look
on such matters with dread But you must
remember those men were reduced to such
a condition that their moral faculties were
blunted. They should not be considered in
fact, responsible agents. Selfpreservation
was their only thought and they could not
be expected to moraliZe upon it.

THE NEWS
A BROKEN BRIDGE
Causes Fatal Accident Near Indianapolis
.--Several Persons Killed and
Others Injured.

An accommodation train on the Monon air
line, met with terrible accident at the bridge
over White river at Broad Ripple, 10 miles north
OF Indianapolis on the morning Of January 81.
Ii appears that one of the abptments OF the
bridge had been badly cracked during the past
month, and that the recent floods had so un-
dermined the other abutment as to make IL un-
safe. Ii had not, however, been considered
unfit for traffic. just rs the engine had cross
ed the bridge crash was heard
and In second the baggage car and
two coaches went through 1t into the
river, a distance OF 20 feet. News OF the dis
and wrecking train with surgeons and others
was at once dispatched to the scene, but could
render no assistance. In all seven are dead
and eight wounded. A relief train left India
napolis only 80 minutes after the news Of the
accident was received. The scene of the wreck
was horrible. The wreckers formed In a line
with buckets ana water was rapidly thrown
upon the blazing cars and smouldering debris
OF the bridge, SO that work of recovering the
bodies was soon begun. The dead were in the
ruins OF the smoke, piled on top another In the
water. When the car took fire those who had
not escaped were speedily consumed or
drowned.
A skiff was pressed into service for ferrying
the remains to the banks of the river. 1t was
sickening work Six charred trunks, formless
and unacceptable, were found In the ruins.
The bridge was nearly new, having been In
use less than a year. 1t broke In two places.
A freight train had just passed over, and the
men who were repairing one of the spans drew
lone bolts, but they claim they had Temporal
sy rods and bolts In the place, but this is not
believed. 1t will cost about $4,000 to repair
the damage.

Killed by Kindness.

A physician informed the Providence
Journal that, in a very severe case OF
sickness of child that he was attend
ING, he found that the remedies given
did not have their usual effect, and he
instituted n searching inquiry and as
certained that the anxious mother, who
was nursing tho child, was.in the habit
of giving her everything that callers
suggested, and he demonstrated with
her, and finally informed her husband
that he could not consent to continue
in charge of the case unless the mother
would adhere strictly TO his instruc-
tons. He was assured that the bus-
band would endeavor TO correct the
fault of his wife, and continued in
charge of the case, but the child died,
and, when the neighbors called to con-
dole with the afflicted mother, she as
sured them that it was great comfort
to her TO know that she had done all
that she could for the dear departed
child. She gave it everything that was
recommended or that she could think
of, but nothing seemed to do any good,
and she supposed her little daughters
time had come. at was so to be. "
