BARNUM,S SUCCESSOR.

New YORK, May S.-Senator a. p. Cor
man, of Maryland, has been mentioned as
the probable successor of the late ex-Sena-
tor Barnum as chairman OF the Demo-
cratic national committee. a reporter
saw him today at the Fifth Avenue hotel
and asked him if there was any truth in
the report. The senator said that he was
not a candidate for the Craftsmanship and
did not wish it. A certain morning paper,
he added, took delight in misrepre-
senting him, and had started the re-
port merely as an excuse to attack him.
When asked point blank if he would be
elected Mr.. Barnum's successor, he an
swered in the negative, and said that the
members of the committee knew he did
not want it In a month or so the commit
tee would meet, and after passing resolu-
tiOnS eulogiZing the memory of the dead
chairman, a successor would be elected
When asked if Mr.. Herman Oelrichs
stood any chance of being elected, he
said 1t was too early to make any predic-
tions. A prominent Democrat was seen
shortly after this conversation with Sena-
tor German He said: "If we hope to
elect a president in 1892 we should have
such man as Senator German at the
head of the party. | have seen several
memb ers of che national Democratic COM
mittee, and they all agree that he is the
man to lead them. He is a protection
Democrat and opposed bitterly to free
trade

CRUSHED BY AN ENGINE.
Six Street Car Passengers Killed in a Col
hsion at Crossing.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, May S-A shocking
accident occurred about $50 o'clock this
evening at the west Main street crossing
of the Michigan Central railroad. A street
car containing seven ladies and two gen.
tlemen was crossing the track when a
switch engine dashed down upon it at a
high rate of speed and the driver being
unable to get the car out of the way the
helpless passengers were hurled TO a terri
bic death
The street car was carried almost TO
Academy street. pieces flying in all direc-
tions and the human freight being man
gled in horrible manner.
Those in the car were: Mrs. Alexander
Haddock, Mrs NJ f. Wattles. Miss Ger
trude Tillotson, Mrs. George Smith, Mrs.
Middleton, Mrs. Van Antwerp, Mrs 5. A.
Gibson, Mrs Jonathan Barnes, Mr.. l.. c.
Lull, Dr. Sutton. The first six were kill
ed, Two being found dead in the cattle
guard, one in the creek near By, two on
the track and Mrs. Middleton died an hour
later. She was thrown in the roadway
Mrs Gibson was injured in the head and
side and Mrs. Barnes was bruised badly.
The male passengers both escaped. The
driver OF the car escaped by jumping
The switch engine was running al ahigh
rate of speed. The gates at the crossing
where the accident occurred are not used
between $50 and ESQ p. m, the gatekeeper
going home at that time. This custom
probably deceived the driver Of the street
car who was new man and he supposed
the gates would Of course be down If an
engine was Coming
