RAILS ON THE TRACK.

Escape.
/ ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 5.-The second
section of train No. 1874, the Adirondack
and Montreal express from New York,
on the New York Central railroad, was
wrecked at point about three miles
below Greenbush, between midnight
and o'clock. Six sleepers We're
wrecked, but, miraculous as it may
seem. no one was killed. The injured
list will foot up about seven, the most
seriously injured being Mrs. Atkinson,
of Trenton, N. Y, who was badly cut,
and Trainman Saulspaugh, whose back
was wrenched. The others have hacks
and limbs wrenched but none OF the
cases are fatal.
Webb Offers Reward.
Superintendent Bissell has received a
dispatch from Vice President Webb
telling him to offer reward of 5000
for the person or persons who placed the
steel rails on the track near Albany,
causing the accident of early Friday
morning. Arbitration Commissioners
Donovan, who came up the road during
the morning, says the obstruction was
placed in a most diabolically inethodical
manner. The two sections of steel rails
were not laid across the track at all, but
were stuck up between the rails and ties
in such q manner that the engine would
ride upon it and would have to be
wrecked. The rails were propped up
by pieces of railroad iron.

Would Make war Unpleasant.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The war depart
ment is about to test an invention for
firing high explosives, which, if it does
all that is claimed for it by its inventor.
will make great changes in the construc-
ton Of modern warships. The inventor,
Louis Gathlnan, of Chicago, has been
making tests at Fort Sheridan for some
time past. He claims that an eight-inch
ordnance can throw shell containing
over 100 pounds of powerful explosives,
distance of three or four miles, and
that one shot properly directed would
sink any ironclad afoat.

makes it very probable that Commits
sioner Raum's resignation will soon be
in the hands of the President. If Mr..
Raum does not resign his removal was
thought to be inevitable. The cause of
this not altogether unexpected turn of
affairs is the discovery that Mr.. Raum,
In addition to his universal refrigerator
enterprise, has been engaged in real es-
tate transactions that will not bear in

that Mr.. Cooper introduced his resolu-

NEW York, Sept. S.--A Cincinnati

Governor Campbell, who is one of its
leading members, for appointing Repub-
licans to Office. Ex-Deputy Sheriff

that any member appointing Republi-

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-04-23

WASHINGTON, April 22.-At the meeting
of the house republican caucus committee
this afternoon the discussion showed that
no material change in views had taken
place since the last meeting before the
caucus, although there was n more evil
dent desire to come 10 some agreement
with the senate committee. The silver
men managed to secure one conce ssion
i'm the shape of an amendment to the
house committee bill, which offered To the
senators partial compromise, absolutely
requiring the purchase of not less than
two million ounces of silver in each
month. regardless of price. The commit
tee was also willing To agree that treasury
notes he issued in the purchase of silver
bullion TO bc redeemed i'm coin or lawful
money, as well as bullion, as proposed 10y
the house bill, but persisted in retaining
the promise that the government and not
the seller Of bullion shall have the option
of determining the medium in which the
notes are To be redeemed. Two s,ib-com-
mittces will meet tomorrow afternoon for
another conference.

1T WAS A FABRICATION
WoOdFurs Confession DiseFsdited by
The Chicago Authorities.
Simply the Subterfuae OF An Invet-
crate liar-The Prisoner Likely
to Serve Time for Horse
Stealing.

CHICAGO, April 22.-The sensational
confession" of Frank Woodruff. which
was So generally published last autumn,
and which among other things stated that
Alexander Sullivan, ex-president of the
Irish national league, In Woodruff's pres
ence handed sum of money 10 Martin
Burke, one OF Cronin's murtlerers, has
been entirely discreditcd by the authori-
ties here. States Attorney Longenecker
In dismissing the charge OF murder
against Woodruff, thus referred to this
sensational confession: "The state has
no evidence to implicate this defendant in
the Cronin murder except the statement
or confession OF Woodruff himself
We have, after full investigation, came to
the conclusion that the confession was
wholly fabricated by the prisoner and
that he had no connection whatever with
the Cronin murder. The state will,there-
fore, not prosecute Woodruff upon this
Indictment"
Two Associated Press representatives
to-day stated that Attorney Longenecker
said: II am satisfied that Woodruff :
confession was simply n lie from begin
ming To end. | will admit, however, that
at the beginning we credited II so much
that il greatly misled and hampered us in
working out the case. The fact is. as We
have now ascertained, Woodruff simply
made this whole story in the hope tha,
his professed knowledge OF greater
crime might secure him immunity for the
lesser offence of horse stealing. am
satisfied now that he knew nothing about
and had nothing to do with the Cronin
murder I'm any connection. His story was
simply the cunning subterfuge Of an in
veterate liar and amateur horse thief
We are going 10 send him to the peniten-
tiary for horse stealing IL we can"
Woodr,Iff's confession was widely circu.
lated at that time and did great injustice
to Alexander Sullivan and others whose
names were freely used.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-In the senate
to-day Mr.. Mitchell made an address In
favor of the constitutional amendment
proposed by him for the election of sena-
tors by popular vote. Already Is changes
had been made i'm the constitution, and
who could say any Of them were not well
advised. All those amendments led up
logically TO the pending proposition. The
prese.= yste,n of electing senators he de-
claretl was unrepublican and vicious. IL
was i'm the purpose of the declaration that
for some reason IL was unsafe To commit
the election OF senators tn "A vote of the
people and "A reflection ON the honesty or
capacity, or both, of the voting classes.
Among other things Mitchell declared
that secret executive sessions were no
longer i'm harmony with the spirit OF the
age. II was a relic Of monarchy and
should find no recognition in a republic.
Al the conclusion of Mitchell's remarks
the resolution was referred tn the COM
mittce on privileges and elections.
The house amendment ON the national
geological park bill was agreed Ia and the
bill now goes To the president.
The District of Columbia appropriation
bill passed, aud after the executive SEES,
