THE GRAND TRUNK wRxox,

An old Railroad Man Says That Neg. 1ect and Cruelty Augmented the Hof- rors-Ae Believes Many more Persons Than Reported Were Killed - The Cars Heated by Old-Fashioned and Unprotected Stoves.
 CHICAGO, May 2.-George Mackenzie, a l railroad man of fifteen yesrs' experience, in the employ of the Fort Wayne company, stated to-day that neglect and cruelty aug mented the horror of the wreck the Grand Trunk at Hamilton. He believes also that many more persons than reported were killed. Mackenzie is a nephew of Mrs.
 Grunmett, a Chicago woman who met her death in the disaster. He and MT. Grun- nett took the first train for Hamilton, ar- irving Tuesday. "We were told," said Mir.
 Mackenzie this afternoon, "that Mrs. Grun- nett was held fast by timbers across her legs below the knees. Some persons talked with her and she begged them to release her' to kill her, but nothing was done and she was burned to death before their eyes. The accident occurred at and almost directly above the edge of 8 canal. A line of men with buckets could have brought plenty of
 water to put out the fire. The accident oc- cured within few hundred feet of some of the company's shops and just at the edge of buo 6Oupduys y0Ius Wu0Eo SWltCuIhB 0Ao freight handling were done. It was o'clock and the yards must have had 8 number of men at work within two or three blocks. These men might have pulled the burning cars to pieces and carried water, as l sug- gested the company might have run an en- zine or two with tanks to the scene. The company did not even call out the fire de- partment. Some of the 6remen saw the ac- cident and concluded they would get out their engines. They were too late to do any good then. No attempt was made by the company's officials to secure means for identifying the bodies by being located in the wreck There was no knowledge or at least no report of anything indicating MIs. Grun- mett's death The company figures the deaths at nineteen, but I think this indi cates large number. It is certain one wo- man and two children perlshed who had no watches"
 MT. Mackenzie says the company heated the car in which he travelled with an old fashioned iron coal stove which had no pro- lection, and the train, he thinks, was heated by similar appliance. In this way he accounts for the speedy burning of the train.
 The body of John H. Kelley of Chicago, a victim of the railway disaster, has been iden- tified and removed. Several articles which belonged to B. L. Oviatt, student in the Colleee of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, have been identified by his brother and it is certain he was among the killed. George w. Stern, of Brooklyn, is here in search of E. Randall Orr of Peekskill, N. Y., whose trunk was found in the wreck. John A. Murray, tailor of Oshaway, Ont, is be- ing inquired for. Adam Forepaugh of Phil adelphia has asked for papers and business cards found in the wreck belonging to Harry Evarts. Forepaugh had an agent of that

Miss Seaman, Fair Haven young lady residing on Ferry street, aged about fifteen, was out horseback riding, s recrea- tion which she has frequently enjoyed in company with Miss Post of Grand avenue.

Posts who had witnessed the acci. dent, and was removed into the house and tenderly cared for. Dr. Thompson was tele- phoned for but was not at home, and another physician was obtained.

 The Routine of she White House ia
 Kesumed-Changes ln the Railway
 Mail Service-Bids for the Envelope
 Contract.
 WAsH1NeToN, May 2.-The routine of the White House was resumed to-day. The Presi- dent entered his office at 10 o'clock, and from that hour up to 1:30 was occupied in listen- ing to appeals of office seekers and others who desire his intercession in their behalf. The crowd was smaller than usual, but was large enough to keep the President engaged all the morning. There appeared to be 8 discussion on the part of some to allow the President little time to recuperate iron, his trip to New York, but thla consideration was by no means general. The President looks well and speaks in glowing terms of his pleasant experience during the past three days.
 General Superintendent Bell of the railway mail service, was questioned as to the num- Der of changes which were made in that ser vice between March and May 1, when the civil service was applied to it. He replied he did not know the exact number, but a good many changes had been made. In fact he made 8 change wherever he could improve the service by so doing. He added: "In the making of appointments ill tie railway mail service since became its head the course has been as far as possible to weed out lncompe- tents and probstioners and of the first con sideration to bring back those whose records indicated proficiency and who were removed because they were Republicans. I think 90 per cent of the appointments that have been made comprise the class mentioned, and of the remainder the aim has been to select from those who have been recommended such as are the most likely to become capable clerks after serving the usual probationary term.
 Brsyton Round was to-day appointed a fourth-class postmaster at East Killingly. Conn.
 A statement prepared at the Treasury de- partment shows that there has been 8 net in- crease of $7, ,76S, ,6S3 in the circulation since April 1st, and that there has been a net increase of $4 993, ,e34 in the money and bull lion in the treasury during the month. The principal increase in the circulation was in gold and silver certificates and United States notes, and the principal increase in the treas ury holdings was in gold coin, standard sil. yer dollars and notes. About fifty million envelopes of all kinds will be required. The bid of the Morgan Envelope company and the Pimpton Manu- featuring company, of Hartford, the present contractors, was $95, ,983 and the lowest This is slight reduction in price from the the present contract.

 Had Broken out on the Steamer
 Weser.
 LONDON, May 2.-The report that the North German Lloyd steamer Weser, which left Baltimore April F for Bremen, had yellow fever on board proves to have been entirely without foundation.

The Berlin sailed from Bahia March 2e and was last reported at Lisbon about April IT.

EnterralnmenIs.


 The festival concert attracted quite large 1 audience at the Hyperion Theater last eve- | ming. The artists were all well known and | they gave very enjoyable entertainment. ! The orchestra played two seleotions-the overture D s'Tannhauser" and Haendel's, ''Largo'-admirably and at the conclusion of each MT. Carl Zerrahn, the l veteran musical director, had to make re- ! served applause. Miss Juch's rendition of "From Thy Love as Father" from Gounod's Redemption" won her an encore, to which she graciously respond ed. Nothing more of praise need be added to what has already been accorded to this very princess of sopranos. From her first appearance here she has been the favorite of all favorites, and both she and Miss Aus der One must feel assured that their frequent visits here have by no means worn out their welcome. Miss Aus der Ohe's selection was the B minor concerto of Chopin. which she played with the same fearless cer- tainty" that characterized all her per formances. Signor Perotti has a wonderful tenor voice, but failed to give satisfactory exhibition of it last evening. His duet with Miss Juch, the love duo from "Die Walkure," {" was marred by poor orchestral accompani- ment, and moreover the piece itself is un- suited to the concert stage. The concert

 KERRY COW. To see the throngs of people that witnessed Kerry Cow as played by MT. Joseph Murpay at the New Haven Opera House last evening one would not suppose that the dramatic season was nearing it's close. The pretty lit tie theater was crowded, literally packed, and many who could not get standing room were obliged to forego the pleasure of seeing this Mr. Murphy and his leading lady gave acters and fully deserved the bountiful ap- piause given them. The piece as interpreted by MT. Murphy's excellent company looses none of it's attractiveness with age, and bright ems under their matchless rendition. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. Another large house witnessed 'sRsnch 10" at the Grand last night. The play is pictur- esque in plot and scenic effects and the com- pany handled their parts in an entertaining l manner. It will be repeated tonight and to morrow with a matinee tomorrow after noon.

 GUTHRIE. I. T., May 2.-The last two days has wrought many changes both in Guthrie and Oklahoma City. At least 50 buildings have been erected in each town. Two banks are doing business in Guthrie and third will be in operation this week. Supplies are being hauled in by the railroads, and bosrd and lodging may be secured for reasonable sum. The buildings are erected so that they may be easily moved, and upon the conclu- sion of the survey a general shifting of loca- tions may be looked for. In three or four weeks both towns will have reached point when predictions as to their future can be made with greater certainty than st present. The work of proving up claims is proceeding rapidly, but there are few indications that settlers will do much toward improving land this year. Between Guthrie and King Fish CT there are not more than dozen claims upon which blowing has been begun. The fact is, the season is too far advanced to promise any decent reward for labor this spring, and many of the settlers have gone to Guthrie, Oklahoma City or King Fisher, where there is demand for men and teams for hauling freight. King Fisher had dwin- dled to abont 2;060 inhabitants. There are two town sites there, one called Lisbon and the other King Fisher, and to both there are conflicting claims which makes the citizens very uneasy, and will hurt the place as soon ss the present excitement is over. Oklaho- ma City has settled it's differences arising from claim jumping, and the people there profess to view the general situation with great satisfaction.
 A meriden Firms Embarrassment.
 MERIDEN, May 2 The directors and prom inent stockholders of the Meriden Malleable Iron company, which was reported financial ly embarrassed, held meeting this afternoon. The management presented ststenent showing liabilities of $1S0,000 and assets $2S0, GOO The only embarrassment was from the lack of ready cash to meet notes, of which $12, 900 have recently come back un- paid owing to the failure of heavy creditors. The assets consist largely of fine buildings built some years ago. It has lately been difficult to pay the help promptly and meet notes given to cover their losses.
 No action was taken and another meeting will be held tomorrow evening. It will probably be decided then to reorganize the company and put it upon a solid financial basis. George w. Lyon is president and E. 0. Merriman secretary and treasurer. The capital is $125, GOO and its business is the manufacture of kerosene fixtures and cabi net hardware.
