SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

Four Men Instantly Killed and One Fatally
Injured BY Falling Beam In the Croton
Aqueduct Shaft--A Sickening Sight Pre-
sented BY the Mangled Remains--A Total
Of Eight Men Killed Within Two Weeks.
MERRITT's CORNERS WESTMINSTER
COUNTY, N. Y, December 7.-Another
accident is added to the long list that has
already occurred at the works of the new
Croton Aqueduct. 1t occurred early this
morning at Shaft No. 8, and resulted in
the death of four men and probable fatal
injury of the fifth. The men were de-
scending to work in one of the buckets
used for lowering them into the shaft.
The start was made all right, but before
the bucket had descended many feet a
cross beam or "Billy," as it is called by
miners, used to steady the bucket, caught
lin the shaft and remained fast until the
bucket had almost reached the bottom of
the shaft when it shook loose and came
crashing down a distance of over one
hundred feet on the heads of the unfor-
tunate man. The following were in
stantly killed:
Francis Carr, single; residence, Glas-
gov.
Fred Dresser, single, of Yorkshire,
Lorenzo Dobbins, married; Hibernian,
N. j.
Patrick Moran, married; Jersey City,
NJ
John Boardman, the other unfortunate
man, will probably die of his injuries.
When the cross-beam struck the buck
ct he was knocked out, but in his descent
fell on a shelving constructed near the
bottom and on the side of the shaft.
This, in all probability, saved him from
instant death. When found he was in
semi-comatose state, but soon revived
enough to be able to speak. The extent
of his injuries has not as yet been ascer-
aimed.
The dead men presented shocking
sight. Three of them have their heads
crushed out of all semblance to human
beings and but for their clothing their
recognition would be wholly impossible
They are Dobbins, Dresser and Moran.
Of the four, however, Francis Carrs'
death was the most horrible. When
struck by the falling beam, he was
knocked from the car and fell headlong to
the bottom of the shaft repeatedly strik-
ing the sides in his descent. His body
was mutilated beyond description, having
been cut into little pieces.
News of the accident spread rapidly
throughout the little village, and created
the utmost CONSERVATION. Hundreds OF
villagers gathered around the shaft and
viewed the CHASTITY spectacle Of the four
mangled bodies, which were placed side
by side as the remains were collected by
horror-stricken comrades of the unfortu-
nate men. The Coroner has been notified
and will hold an inquest at once.
This makes a total of eight men who
have been killed at the works here within
the past two weeks.

THE SERVO. BULGARIAN WAR.

The Report of Renewed Lostilities Jn-
foundet1--Negotiations Proceeding Salts
factOrily--The POrte's Presistence--Out-
side Advice to Servia--An European Con.
ference Talked of.
LONDON, December s.-The report
coming by way Of Belgrade yesterday af-
ternoon that Bulgaria has renewed hos
tilities proves to have been, like SO
many statements emanating from Servian
sources, complete Misrepresentation of
Prince Alexander's attitude. The armis-
tice has been observed with good faith
Late dispatches show that negotiations
for settlement by Servia and Bulgaria
without the Intervention of the
larger States are proceeding satis-
factorily, and that the outlook for a
peaceful solution of the difficulty is more
favorable than at any time since the out.
break of the war. The Servian proposals
handed to Prince Alexander by special
envoy, are that upon the withdrawal of
the Bulgarian army fIom Servian terri
tory, the Servian troops operating in the
direction of Widin shall retire. The de-
cision as to indemnity or the acquisition
of territory on either side is then
to be left undereservedly with
the conference of the powers. The
Porte has forwarded two important mes
sages to Prince Alexander One warns
him that the armistice must be continued
until the powers decide otherwise, and
that he has no power to conclude final
terms of peace irrespective of the pow
arc hn ynO 0rr~oY, until
Milan the basis of complete ces-
sation Of hostilities. The other prom
ises to carefully consider Bulgaria's re-
quest to refrain from sending the Govern
mental Commission into ROumelia, and to
withdraw the commission already sent to
Philippopolis. The popular animosity in
Roumelia against these Turkish agents
increases every day and threatens to re-
suit in another revolt against an attempt
to restore the Ottoman yoke. Mass
meetings are held daily, at which popular
orators exhort the people not to let their
liberty, so nearly realized, be snatched
from their grasp by the willy Turk.
THE SULTAN INTERPRETERS.
BELGRADE, December S.-The Porte
has sent an official letter to King Milan
warning him that any treaty of peace
which he may conclude with Prince Alex
ander will be null and void without the
approval of it's terms by the Sultan of
Turkey, in view of the latter'S suzerainty
of Bulgaria. King Milan has sent a con-
ciliatory reply, stating that he will refuse
to accept any terms of peace which would
be in violation of the Sultan's rights.
IS GOOD ADVICE.
LONDON, December S.-The govern
ments of Great Britain, France and Italy
have united in joint note to Servia urg-
ing her to conclude peace with Bulgaria
upon the best obtainable terms.
LONDON, December S.-A dispatch
from Vienna to the Standard states that
Austria will summon an European con-
ference to decide upon the terms of peace
