A new BUSINESS METHOD

s. II. Baynard has adopted a new plan that
Is now prevailing in western cities. whereby
the opportunity is given to procure a good
watch for a very low price. through the
agency Of cooperative clubs. This plan is as
follows: Clubs are composed of forty MEM
bers. who pay one dollar fee, which payment
goes to the originator of the plan. When the
club is formed they mutually agree to purchase
forty watches for the sum of seven hundred
and sixty-five dollars. Each week thereafter
the members meet. and each pays one dollar
at which time a number is drawn. which en-,
titles the owner of such number to select ano
and receive his watch. similar TO the old plaI
of watch clubs, with the exception thaJ upoL
the drawing of number further payment ol
that number cease. The remaining members
(less one each week. continue their payIn
and drawing for thirty weeks, when all pay
ments cease and the remaining ten menOe1'
receive their watches. - ana

4 New York Central Train Thrown FroG
The TraCk-0ther Disasters.

ALBANY (N. ", Sept. Sat midnight
successful attempt at train-wrecking was
made on the New York Central, near Green
bush. Luckily no loss of life or serious IN
iuries resulted. The train wrecked was on
the way to Montreal and consisted OF eight
sleepers well filled. 1t was derailed, but
barring the shaking UP of the passengers ana
the bruising of half dozen or so, nothing
more serious than the wrecking Of the cars
resulted.
The train was twenty-five minutes late
and running at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, when the. engine struck an obstiuc-
ton and was lifted into the air, and the
whole train was thrown from the track. The
engineer and fireman stuck TO thelr posts,
The first sleeper, containing twenty-five
passengers, slid down an embankment and
turned on its side. None Of the passengers
were injured outside Of a few bruises. Inc
second coach turned somersault, landing IN
a ditch bottom side up. In this car there
was only one passenger, Miss Garahan OF
Brooklyn, the conductor and the porter.
Neither was dangerously hurt, though Miss
Garahan received a severe blow on the
head. She was the most hurt OF all the
passengers. The third car was thrown
across the ditch. There were about eight
passengers in this coach. The other nVe
sleepers did not leave the road-bed. a num-
Der of passengers were cut and bruised IN
eXtricating themselves from the wreck.
An Investigation as to the cause OF the DIS,
aster showed that rail had been Jammed
into the cattle-guards, wedSed with TIM
bers and securely held by the fsh-plates;
The whole arrangement had been. placed
in slanting position to lift the train clear
OF the track. The result showed the juds-
mcnt of the fends who placed the obstruc-
ton on the track was .unerrins. and their
purpose was successfully accomplished
Continuing the investigation, there was re-
yealed q similar obstruction on another
track little below. No stone will be left
unturned to discover the perpetrators OF the
dastardly outrage. A relief train brought
all the passengers back here. They num-
bered sxty-three 1t evidently was the IN
tention to wreck the freight trains soon due
on both tracks, as the regular Montreal pas
senger had passed, and the one wrecked was
an extra. A reward of 5000 is offered for
the apprehension of the mlscreants.
The Executive Board of the knights OF
Labor is in consultation on the question OF
Offering $1,000 reward for the arrest of the
perpetrators.

BEER AND CASH.
Mrs. Wieland Wishes the Trust to
Meet Its Contract.
She Will Break Of Negotiations fer Transfer
Of the Brewery if the Settlement Is Not
Made as Agreed.

Rumors have recently been rife that all
has not been plain sailing with the brewery
syndicate which managed to assume control
of the leading breweries of this city.
Ii what is stated is true the trust has felt
the force of what is known on Change as
''the stringency Of the money market" Re-
ports have been circulated that the principal
trouble of the syndicate lay in raising money
to close the contract with Mrs. Wieland for
the Philadelphia Brewery. According to
the contract $4,000 was paid on deposit to
bind the agreement 1t is further stated
that 100000 was to have been paid on July
1st last, and the remainder on the 18th of the
following August. 1t is known that these
amounts have not been paid.
The failure of the trust to settle with Mrs
Wieland has given rise to many rumors that
there is liability of a hitch occurring in the
plans of the syndicate to control all the bust
ness of the city.
A CALL reporter visited Mrs. Wieland at
her residence, and inquired if it were true
that the trust had failed 10 pay the amounts
stipulated in their contract at the specified
time. Mrs. Wieland replied 1T is true.
have never seen a cent of their money.
The money. was TO have been paid by the
18th OF last month. 1t was not paid. My
law cl odNi ~ IlC. MaUdNo, you must
wait. You get the most money; it is a
large sum and it takes little time to raise
it. Two weeks ago he told me that the
money was in the bank. The purchasers
asked for thirty days time l gave it to
them. Their time will be up on the 10Th of
September, and the money must be paid by
that time. l will not give them one day
further time, but will break Off all negotia-
tons If the money is not promptly paid.
There should be 10 fooling in business like
this"
Mrs. Wieland was very emphatic in her
declaration that she would break off all ne
gotiations on the failure of the trust to come
up to the terms of the contract on Septem-
Der 10Th. She stated that she had been wait
ing for money ever since the beginning of
the negotiations last January and was de-
termined 10 wait no longer.
She also stated that her lawyer had in
formed her that all the smaller breweries
had been paid by the trust, but she lad no
personal knowledge of the fact.
Should the transaction fall through by the
default of the trust the Philadelphia Brew
cry will revert to Mrs. Wieland, who will
also become the possessor of whatever
money was paid on deposit to bind the con-
tract
Brewerymen are looking forward with in
tense interest to the time when Mrs. Vie
lands ultimatum will go into effect.

She was a little old woman in black, with
the least bit of while Iuching about her
neck-just such creature as it takes to
bring one down to the real thought of
humanity, out of the hurlyburly of every
day existence to the little sorrows and little
rays of sunshine that go to make up life as
it is Every body noticed her as she came in
the car. Her sweet old face did not have
many wrinkles in it. and the other pas
sengers wondered if she was not the pref
test girl in her crowd when she was young.
The little old lady had two letters in her
hand, and after she had given the conductor
her nickel she opened one of them, at the
same time adjusting pair of steel-rimmed
spectacles to ner nose. AS she read the let
ter smile gathered all over her face and
then broke into laughing chuckle that
everybody in the car Eoticed. Another
smile came, then laugh and more smiles,
and the letter was finished. The little old
woman was the happiest person in the car
and she seemed to want to say something to
somebody. As she put away the frs. letter
and began opening the otner one she turned
to n lady sitting by her and said:
THAT letter is from Johnny, my boy L
mean. He's been gone a long time now, and
every Saturday get letter from him. He
never forgets his old mother. John doesn't,
and some day he will come back to see me.
You don't know the comfort of such a son,
young lady"
The second letter was taken from its
envelope and the little old woman began
reading In moment she started and then

The little Old woman reeled, and big,
burly, home-going laborer caught her in his
arms. She was taken from the car, accom-
panied by number of the passengers, aud
lifted to a drugstore. When she was finally
laid down one of the passengers put his ear
close to her heart, and then rising, shook his
head.
The little old woman had died! In one of
her hands letter was ciasped and in the
other she clutched a rumpied sheet. The bit
Of paper was taken by one of the passengers
who read aloud to the others:

The balloon ascension at the Exposition
Grounds was the feature. 1t took place
shortly after o'clock in the afternoon. At
that time heavy breeze was blowing, ard
it was thought foolhardy to attempt an
ascent. Rain also fell. and Professor Bar
tbolomew, who has charge of this feature,
was dubious. Nevertheless Jerry Waite ap-
peared as soon as the balloon was inflated,
all ready to make the dangerous exhibition.
He went up like a shot and had great diff
Guilty in maintaining his hold on the trapeze.
When he had reached the maximum height
there was panic. People grew nervous
watching tue man. Mr.. Bartholomew, who
knows only too well that the drop must be
taken at the proper moment to make the de-
scent in safety, became, uneasy. The bal
loon began to drop and the parachute to
open. A moment more and all avenues OF
escape would he cut off. The current of air
would prevent the parachute from being
loosened, ard the balloon above it would
dash the unfortunate aeronaut from side to
side and probably Kill him when the ground
was reached. After a GREATNESS suspense,
and when the balloon had fallen nearly half
way to the earth, Waite finally succeeded in
making the drop. Once in the fall the para
chute collapsed, and Bartholomew shut his
eyes. 1t opened again and Waite landed
among the trees on the Canadian side of the
liver, sustaining many bruises. 1t was
very narrow escape from death.-Detroit

being huisted from well 100 feet deep, and
when within about 80 feet of the surface the
rope broke and Miller fell to the bottom of
the well. The men at the surface could
hear the means of Winters, but it was two
hours before a long enough rope could be
procured and man sent down. Winters was
brought to the surface and taken to the hos
pital. The physicians made an examination,
finding that he had sustained compound
fracture of both legs, and that three ribs on
the left side were broken. His head and
body were badly bruised, and it is feared
that he has received internal injuries. The
mans condition is precarious. When the
right leg had been amputute it was found
that the man had fallen on his feet and
that the bones Of each leg had separated,

The Supreme Court Yesterday Revived
an Old Trust.
Domenco Caraffa and Giovanni Caraffa,
brothers. entered Into business as partners
in San Francisco in the year 1859. After
ward they sold one-third interest IN the
business to one Raggio, the business being
continued as before under the firm name OF
d. Caraffa & Co.
In 1865 DOmenco, being in failing health,
returned to Italy, where he remained until
his death in 1874. In January, 1873, Raggio
sold out his interest in the firm to one
GuiDasso. After Domenco's death his
brother changed the name of the firm 20 q.
B. Caraffa & Co., and in that name the bust
ness was continued until 1882, when Clio
vanni died and his widow. Margaret Caratfa,
was appointed Administrative of the estate.
The heirs of Domenco, by Mr.. Roach. the
administrator of his estate, brought suit to
recover their interest in the business, claim
ing that the interest Of Domenco was never
surrendered. but that his brother, Giovanni.
held the interest in trust during Domenco's
lifetime, which trust continued after his
death.
The lower court nonsuited Domenco's adj
ministrator on the ground OF laches and of
the statute of limitations; but the Supreme
Court has overruled the decision of the
lower court and ordered new trial.
