A Train Derailed, but Fortunately No
One Was Injured.

One Was Injured.
ALBANY IN. ", September 5th.-At
midnight successful attempt at train
wrecking was made on the New York Gen.
tral near Greenbush. Luckily no loss of
life or serious injuries resulted.
The train wrecked was on the way to
Montreal, consisting of eight sleepers, well
filed. They were derailed, but barring q
shaking up of the passengers and the bruis-
ing of half dozen or so, nothing more
serious than the wrecking of the cars re-
suited.
The train was twenty-five minutes late,
and was running at rate of about thirty
miles an hour. When the engine struck
the obstruction it was lifted into the air
and the whole train thrown from the track
The engineer and fireman stuck to their
posts.
The first sleeper, which contained twenty
two passengers, slid down an embankment
and turned Oh its side. None of the pas
sengers were injured, outside of a few
bruises. The second coach turned somer-
sault, landing in a ditch bottom side up.
In this car was only one passenger, Miss
Garakan, of Brooklyn, and the conductor
and porter. Neither was dangerously
hurt, though Miss Garakan received Sc
we're blow on the head She was the most
hurt of all the passengers.
The third car was thrown across the
ditch. About eight passengers were in that
coach. The other FIVE sleepers did not
leave the roadbed. A number of passen-
gers we're cut and bruised in extncating
themselves from the wreck.
An investigation as to the cause of the
disaster showed that rail was jammed
into the cattle guards, wedged wi timbers
and securely held by fishplates. The
whole arrangement was placed in slant
ing position TO lift the train clear off the
track. The result showed that the judg-
ment of the fends who placed the obstruc-
tion on the track was unerring, and their
purpose was successfully accomplished.
Continuing, the investigation revealed
similar obstruction on the south bound
track little way below.
No stone will be left unturned TO dis
cover the perpetrators of the dastardly out
rage.
A relief train brought ali passengers
back here. They numbered sixty-three.
Evidently the intention was to wreck the
freight trains, soon due on both tracks, as
the regular Montreal passenger passed.
The one wrecked was an extra.
A reward of $1,000 is offered for the ap-
prehension of the miscreants.

The testimony of other discharged en-
ploves. of the same general tone, was taken.
Officials of the road testified to the dis
charge of men for cause. In one instance
the cause assigned was that they were
bothering with committees when they
should have been at work The hearing
was then closed. The Board will consider
the testimony and make certain recon-
mendations, but as it can only do SO

A New Invention for Throwing Powerful
Explosives.

CHICAGO, September 5th.-The War De-
partment 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 construction of
modern war-ships. The inventor, Louis
Gsthman of Chicago, has been making
tests at Fort Sheridan for some time past,
description of which, with drawings and
specifications, he has sent to Senator Far
well. Gathman is now in receipt of
letter from Major General Schofield, Presi-
dent of the Board Of Ordnance and Forti-
fcations, saying the matter had been re-
tered to his Board, and that they were
ready to proceed with an investigation of
the invention. 1t is probable the test will
be made near New York. The inventor
claims that by his method eightinch ord
nance can throw shell containing over
100 pounds of powerful explosives the dis
tancs of three or four miles, and that one
shot, properly directed, would sink any
ironclad afloat.

the richest corporations in thecountry have
formed an alliance against strikes. Among
the members are the Westinghouse system,
the Yale Lock Company, Colt Arms Com

and presumably the Pullman interests.
In the compact it is agreed to that in case
q strike occurs to enforce unreasonable de-
mands, whether the strike be against one
or all of the associated factories, all work is
TO cease. The strikers are to be allowed TO
remain idle until they see fit to return to

workers who may have left any factory on
a strike. Neither is an associated factory to
seek workers during strike from any of
the federated works.
The institutions named employ between
90 900 and 60 600 workers, and directly
support from 250, 600 to 10000 people, ex-
elusive of other interests depending upon
the earnings of those people.
