AN ENGINE BLOWN TO ATOMS.
The Engineer and Fireman Torn Limb
from Limb.

BUFFALO. N. Y, May 11.-About Q
O'Clock this afternoon the Lehigh Valley
engine No. POI, George Pearl engineer and
Henry J. O'Conner fireman, started for
East Buffalo with a string of twenty-seven
cars. The train was moving slowly and
had crossed the Lake Shore tracks at Buffalo
creek junction when the locomotive ex-
ploded. The roar sounded like the dis
chargeEof a battery of heavy artillery.
The earth trembled as though with an earth
quake, and the air was filed with flying
fragments of iron, steel, brass and similar
wreckage, accompanied by cloud of min
gled steam and dust.
THE ENGINE BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Engine 261 had disappeared, and all that
remained of its fifty tons of mechanism were
six driving wheels, the trucks and wheels at
the forward end of the disabled tender at the
rear. The tracks were ripped from the ties
and bent out of shape, the ground was torn up
Tor some distance, and broken telegraph and
and electric light wires dangled from their
posts in a tangled mass. The desolation
and ruin had been wrought in the twinkling
OF an eye, and two lives were sacrificed like
the snuffiag of candle, for there was no
trace OF either the engineer or fireman.
BODY HIGH IN THE AIR
What was apparently human body was
seen flying through the air at an elevation
of 100 feet and was observed to fall on the
Lake Shore railroad at least ], 900 feet west
of where the explosion occurred.
The body of the other unfortunate man
took northeasterly course at high eleva-
tion and dropped into creek 500 feet away.
In b ditch to the west was the shattered
25-ton boiler. On the other side. 100 feet
distant, was the crown sheet, battered and
twisted out of shape, and across the adja-
cent slip the dome aud a huge fragment
of the boiler lay upon coal
dumping piece of the Buffalo, Rochester
and PIttsburg railroad, 400 feet away. In
striking it had crushed into the timbers and
sent great splinters in all directions. A
switch shanty alongside the track was badly
wrecked.
PICKING UP THE RODIES.
Soon a search for the missing engineer
and fireman begun. The body of Engineer
Pearl was found in the creek. 1t was
brought TO the surface and hoisted to the
coal dock. Its condition was shocking
Apparently every bone was broken. The
head and face were frightfully mutilated, as
was also the trunk, nearly the entire abdo-
men being torn away.
Fireman OConnor's body was found be-
tween the stumps of two trees alongside the
Lake Shore track. His head was crushed,
his face disfigured beyond recognition, and
in the left side was great gaping hole. The
mans shoes had been wrenched from his
feet, and his garments were reduced to
shreds. His legs and arms, apparently,
were fractured.

CARLISLE HAS THE POLE.
BUCKNER IS DEVELOPING UNEx-
PECTED STRENGTH.

-
Others In the Race Apt to Make q
Good Show at the Start, But Not
Likely to Win-The Final Contest
Between the Ex-Speaker and the
Governor.
LOUISVILLE, May 1.-THE senatorial
contest has gone forward briskly to-day.
Ex-Congressman Mckenzie reached Frank
fort last night and tonight formally an
nounced himself Aside from this there is,
little new as to candidates OF estimates OF.
their strength on the first ballot In the
democratic caucus tomorrow night. IT isl
clearly understood that no election will
be made until the caucus nominates.
All agree that Ex-Speaker Carlisle,
will have a big lead on the first ballot
and that the rest of the votes will be pretty
evenly divided between ex-Gov Knott. ex-
Congressman McCrearY, ex-Congressman
Mckenzie, Gov. Buckner, Judge Lindsay.
and Judge Reeves. Ex-State Senator L. r.
Moore of Catletsburg and ex- Minister Boyd
Winchester OF Louisville will probably not
be In the race at all, as they have not
allowed any announcement of their names.
cARLIsLE's FRIENDS IN A HURRY.
Mr.. Carlisle's friends are aggressive and
want to push the contest to a conclusion the
first night. They hardly hope their chief
can become stronger by a long waiting
fight On the other hand all the others be-
lieve they will do better by waiting, and
they will be able to prevent a nomination
at once. Ex-Congressman McCreary Is
held to be especially favored in any pro-
longed fight on account of his good general
ship and popular manners. 1t is claimed
that he never came out of q race weaker
than when he went In. But in this case 10
is not generally believed that he can win.
no matter hew long the contest lasts.
BUCKNER VERY STRONG.
Gov. Buckner has developed great
strength. His friends have been stirred up
by tho movements of the enemies he has
made by vetoing bad measures and by his /
criticism Of the late Judge jackson OF
Louisville w. l.. jackson, son of Judgei
jackson, who has been Interested in lobby
ing at Frankfort this winter, Is said
to have twenty-four votes pledged against
Gov. Buckner. Gov. Buckner's friends.
In response, have been moving everything
In their power. Ii is believed when the
final test comes that 1t will be between him
and Mr.. Carlisle. His record as governor
has made him very strong with the people, 4
and while he has offended many politicians
his friends claim that legislators who regard
their standing with their constituencies can
turn from him only to Mr. Carlisle
The caucus will probably refuse to adopt
the rule OF dropping candidates with the
the fewest votes. Only one or two ballots
Will be taken tomorrow night, and the adj
journment will be till Tuesday night, and So
on till nomination is made.

TAKING OF THE GEMS US.
Supervisors and Enumerators Must
Not Take Outside Money.

Supervisors and Rnumerators Must
Not Take Outside Money.
WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE superintend-
ent of the census has issued an order stating
that it has been brought to his attention
that the city councils and boards of trade
of certain cities have appropriated money
to aid their census supervisors in the enum-
GRAFTON of the population. He therefore
instructs the supervisors positively not to
receive any such compensation, nor coun-
tenance for one instant the payment of
any sum of money whatever by munich
palities, corporations, associations or per-
sons to enumerators. He says any super
visor of the census who is not content with
the remuneration allowed by law(which is
double the amount paid in 1880 should at
once resign.
MUST BE ABOVE SUSPICION.
The eleventh census must and shall be
above suspicion. To tolerate any action on
the part OF municipalities, associations, or
ganizations or individuals, no matter how
powerful they may be, which has for its
purpose debauching, or which would even
throw the slightest taint upon the truthful
ness of the returns. would, in his opinion,
be nothing short Of a crime agains the peo-
pie of the United States.

WATERWAYS MUST WAIT.
A Belief That No River and Harbor
Bill Will be Passed.

A Belief That No River and Harbor
Bill Will be Passed.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-There is a we'll
defined impression at the capitol that no
river and harbor bill will be passed this
session. The story is that an agreement on
the subject has been reached between the
white house and prominent men in the
Senate and House to let it lay over until
the next session, when bill will be passed
of much larger dimensions than the one
now proposed. With the certainty that
the new pension legislation will add between
$50, 600, 900 and S70,000,000 to the budget.
aL3 the prospect of many millions more for
steamship subsidies and sundry other mat
ters to be provided of miscellaneous char
acter, it is certain that there would
be deficiency should a s25, 5,000, 900 river
and harbor bill go through and the story
goes that the suggestion has come from the
President, and has been well received at the
capitol, to let the river and harbor bill go
by rather than that the other legislation
should fail

of All.

PITTsBURG, May 11.-At meeting of the
Roman Catholics here tonight an organiza-
ton was perfected, to be known as the

tenance and promotion of cordial fellow

In the House.

In the House the tariff debate is to be con-
tinued all this week. Ii will be under what
is known as the five minutes rule, and every
member who desires to talk and who was
not able to participate in the general debate
will be given an opportunity to state his
views briefly. Probably it will be necessary
tomorrow to adopt a rule to fix the length
of the debate. and the attempt to do this
may arouse some resistance, but 1t is fore
gone conclusion that the original pro-
gramme, to close the debate and vote upon
the bill May 49, viii be strictly carried out.

GU Az Is. BOSS OF ALL.
Harrison Dare Not Demand Either an
Explanation or a Resignation.


Explanation or a Resignation.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE fact that
Chairman Quay has indefinitely postponed
the meeting Of the national executive COM
mittee, called for tomorrow, serves to-
night as the new basis for the old story that
President Harrison demanded an explana-
ton from Senator Quay of the charge made
against him; that Senator Quay refused to
give any, and that President Harrison
thereupon demanded his resignation Of the
craftsmanship of the republican national
committee. OF course the story now winds
up with the declaration that Senator Quay
postponed the meeting OF the committee to
prevent demand through it for his resig-
nation. This is a pretty story, but, un-
fortunately for President Harrison, it is
only an iridescent dream.
DOESN'T DARE TO DEMAND 1T.
President Harrison does not dare to de-
mand either an explanation or a resigna-
tion from Senator Quay. Senator Quay is
the master of the national committee, Col
Dudley and Cen. Clarkson his lieuten-
ants, and the rest of the committee being
for Senator Quay rs against President Har-
rison every time, consequently whatever
President Harrison desires and, however
much he may be troubled as he is, by the
charges. Senator Quay has nothing to fear
from MIN. Ii there is any fear between
them it is felt by Presidsnt Harrison as he
looks forward to 1892.

DEATH FROM LOCKJAW.
Sad Death OF the Son OF a Physician
OF Albany.

ALBANY, GA, May 1l--Edwin, the To-
year-old son Of DIR. and Mrs. w. w. Bacon,
died this morning about o'clock. The
funeral took place from their residence,
corner of State and Monroe streets. About
eight days ago, while playing barefooted,
he stuck splinter in his foot, and, through
fear of his fathers lancet, he said
nothing about his misfortune, but contln-
ued going to school. The pain became SO
intense that lockjaw developed In day or
so, and continued growing worse, notwith-
standing the efforts Of the best physicians,
until death relieved the little sufferer. DIR.

STOCKHOLDERS IN THE SWIM.
They Will Be the Preferred Creditors
of the Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE stockholders.
and not the bondholders, are to be the pre-
ferred class in the finances of the worlds
fair, 80 the committee on ways and means
decided at its meeting yesterday. The
original financial scheme contemplated
issuing bonds to the extent of making up
any deficiency between the amount of
stock subscribed and $10.000,000 the
amount required to be raised The outlook
for the subscription Of the entire $40 900, 900
stock is SO promising that the committee
decided not to issue bonds. This will make
unnecessary any pledge of the receipts to
guarantee the payment of the bonds 1t
will put the stockholders in the position of
being the first to receive the benefits of a
financially successful outcome of the fair,
instead Of making them subsidiary to the
bondholders.

A FEMALE DEPUTY MARSHAL.
She Helps Marshal Weeks Scoop in an
Alleged Offender.


TALLAHASSEE, FLA, May 10.--It is not
often that one hears of lady deputy
United States marshal, but Marshal Weeks
had a lady to aid him in ''scoopingn one of
the alleged election fraud candidates for
Judge Swayne's court the other day, and it
created quite a sensational ripple on the
streets. w. B. Schrader is a dairyman and
a popular young society man here. Un-
fortunately for him be was called upon at
the election of 1888 to act as clerk at one OF
the voting precincts, and Mizelps notorious
''true and triedn jury dished his name up
among the indicted. To better serve his
customers, Schrader has for some time been
driving his own milk wagon. He knew
that Weeks had warrant for his arrest.
but as that officer had several times passed
him on the streets without serving it, he
did not let the matter worry him.
RICH YOUNG WIDOW.
Among Schrader's milk customers is Mrs.
j. ID. Crafts. a rich young widow from
Spencer, N Y, who Madam Rumor says is
bethrothed to Marshal Weeks On the day
of the arrest Schrader called at the widows
house as usual with his milk wagon. She
met him at the door, all smiles and sweet
ness, and after having her pitcher filed
gave Schrader pressing invitation to walk
INTO the parlor, informing him that friend
was there who wished to talk with HIM on
business. In the light of her smiles
Schrader forgot WelIer's warning to ''be-
ware Of the vidders," and into the parlor he
walked, where Marshal Weeks met him
and politely invited him to take little trip
down to Jacksonville next day. Sehrader
accepted tho invitation, aud gave Judge
Swaye bond for bis appearance at the next
term Of court, but hereafter he will steer
clear Of widows.
