 Are Caught in n Railroad Wreck-Their
 Miraculous Escape from Death.
 ST PETERSBURG Nov. 1. - An official statement of the accident which happened to the czar's train is as follows: The train con taining the c8ar and czarina and suite left Taranovka at noon on Monday. While pass ing through deep gorge near Borkl the train left the rails At the time of the accl- dent the czar and czarina were in the saloon carriage at breakfast When the first car riage left the track the rest of the train os- cillated, and the succeeding carriage keeled over. The saloon carriage, although remain ing on the track, was badly shattered, the roof falling in, but resting on a part of the side and forming shed for the occupants It seems incredible that with such havoc any of the occupants should have escaped unhurt. but God protected the czar and his family, who were taken from the debris un- injured. Some of the others received slight contusions The only person severely in- jured was Gen. Scheremetietf, an aid-do- camp.
 The GraShdanin says that the train was drawn by two locomotives and consisted of several carriages besides the saloon carriage. The latter was of massive construction. The train was running at the rate of sixty versts an hour. When the first locomotive left the track it plowed up the road bed and em- bedded itself in the earth. The second loco motive mounted the first and was wrecked
 The first and second carriages, which are also wrecked, were occupied by court and railway officials, among whom were Baron St Jernval, chief inspector of railways, who was badly injured. .Gens, Nannooski and Tcherevin, who were ill the saloon carriage with the czar, received contusionS The czar and czarina remained at the scene for some time, giving attention to the injured To ward evening they returned to Zosewofe, the last station passed.
 Religious services have been held through out the empire, giving thanks for the escape of the imperial family.
 The Grashdanin contradicts the official re- port of the accident in regard to the casual ties. It at1irms that twenty persons were killed, including Capt. Bresch, a staff courier three courierS and eight soldiers of the rail way battalion It also says that eighteen others were injured. The imperial family passed over the Charkof and Nicolaietf rail way on their way to Gatshina- All were we'll.

Aaueduct Tunnei Scandal.

WASHINGTON, November 15.-The mill
tary court of inquiry into the Aqueduct
Tunnel scandal has developed some very
interesting testimony. Frank Thomp-
son, bricklayer on the tunnel, testified
that incompetent men were employed
and they were hurried so by the SUBJ
contractors that it was impossible that
the work could be good. The work.
men were driven to deception by
the contractors. A conspiracy was
thoroughly organized and its object was
to deceive the Government Inspectors.
The workmen always knew when the in
spectors were coming, and it was easy
for them to deceive the inspectors. A
great deal OF bad work was done at night
when nobody but the sub-contractors
we're around. One morning an
inspector examined some work,
done the night before and
discovered hole in it big enough to
drive Government wagon into. Ittook
three days to pack this cavity. Civil
Engineer Geo. H. Corvell condemned
the whole scheme for work and declared
that the tunnel was nothing more than
an expensive hole. The fact was brought
out that witness and Major Lydecker,
who had charge of the work, were on
bad terms with each other.
