RAINING HARD AND DARK AS PITCH
When Erie Train Men Went Tobog-
gaming onisIippery Rails.
Avid Ride on Runaway Cars Ended
by Collision.
six Men Leaped for Life and None
Were Killed.

NEW YORK, May 27.-It was raining hard
and as dark as pitch about A o'clock this
morning, when an east bound freight train
running at express speed on the Erie road
broke in two near Sterlington. about 60 miles
from Jersey City in New York state, and the
rear half went rushing back along down
grade at lightning speed. There were three
brakemen on that part Of the train and the
conductor, j. E. Traynor in the caboose.
They knew that following them was another
special freight bound east, and that nothing
could avoid frightful collision. The brakes
wouldn't hold because the rails were slippery
as ice from the rain.
They stuck to their posts, however, until
the headlight Of the engine drawing the sec
0nd freight came in sight, and then they
jumped. They were all more or less injured,
but none of them fatally, and moment after
they jumped the engine and the runaway
cars banged together with a report that
sounded like thunder through the quiet
country hills around.
No. GIG. one of the biggest engines on the
road, smashed the cab0ose to splinters. En-
gineer A. I'll. Marsh and his fireman Jumped
an instant previous to the collision. TIE
former escaped unhurt, but the fireman
broke both arms. His name is not known.

animals lent terror to the scene. Conductor

injured The road was not cleared for traffic
until l O'Clock this afternoon.

wreck, said: "The wreck was most COM
plete. Cars, smashed and burned Uttered

rolled over on his back, but once more he
was assisted to his feet, and working his
Wav through the mud again Started ont this
time in deep water. He swan as straieht as
an arrow, and did not need further assist
ance until within a short distance of the
shore, when he struck reef of fine stone
and disappeared under the water. The spec
tators on shore thought he had gone down
for good, but the next instant he came to
the Surface, and clearing the reef found a
firm foothold and walked ashore through
water about three feet deep He was ex-
hausted, but apparently uniniured. and sub-
mitted with seeming gratefulness to the care
of his attendants.

THE cAPTAIN's STORY.
He Says His Cabin Boy was Very
Bad Specimen.

NEW YORK, May 27.-An evening paper
has special despatch from Philadelphia in
which Capt Stewart Of the ship John Har-
vey denies the story of any illtreatment Of
the cabin boy Young, and declares that
Young was mutinous at Barbados. Capt.
Stewart stated this fact to Consul Dimmick
and asked to have the man arrested. Ac-
cording to the laws Of Barbados the man
could not be detained more than "a hours
The consul advised Capt. Stewart to pay the
man off and discharge him. This the cap
tain did. The boy Young was shipped from
the bark Plymouth at Portland, Me. Her
captain stated that he picked him up in
Bristol where he was shoe black. The cap
tain of the Plymouth told Capt. Stewart that
the boy was a bad one, one of the worst spec
linens of his class he had ever seen. The boy
has an innocent face and Capt. Stewart de-
termined to give him trial. On arrival Of
the John Harvey at Barbados, Young re-
fused 10 do any work and remained idle 80
days. Consul Dimmick told Young that he
had forfeited his wages by refusing to work.
The day before the ship sailed, Capt. Stew
art told Young the ship would sail the next
day at 6 a. m and he must come on board
that night or he would be left Young did
not come.

POLICE NOT IN 1T.
Brewers Guardians Knew Nothing
of a Burglars Raid.

BANGOR, May 27. In addition to the safe
blowing in the store of Fl. B. Washburn at
Brewer, last night, when the burglars were
frightened away, it has been found that the
coal office of I. G. Stickney & Co.. and the
office of the Smith Planning Company were al
so entered and the safes blown in each place.
The Stickney safe contained no money
while at Smiths the men were disturbed
while drilling through the inner door by peo-
pie living in the vicinity who had heard the
noise OF the explosion when the outer door
was demolished. The strange fact is that
none of the night watchmen about the city
heard or saw the burglars. The jobs In each
case were cleanly done. Three dollars loose
in change found at Washburn's was the only
reward which the burglars secured for their
nights work. The damage caused by the
three explosions will foot up many hundreds
OF dollars. Police from this city were sum-
moned soon after midnight and found numer-
Gus tools left by the burglars which were
taken from carpenter tshop in the town.
No clue to the depredators has yet been OBJ
tained, but two suspicious looking charac-
tiers were seen in town last night and it is
thought that they are the men wanted.
There is great excitement in this city and
Brewer over the robbery.

LOCKING THE STABLE DOOR.
Depositors After What Is Left of the
Bank of America.

PHILADELPHIA, May PA meeting Of
the depositors OF the defunct Bank of Amer
lea was held this afternoon at which the
committee of 10 made its report. The belief
of the committee is that 80 per cent or more
can be realized on the accounts. y The COM
mittee is of the opinion that the dividends
declared SEM. annually were hot from the
earnings of the bank and that there is unmis-
taxable evidence that the officials knew of
these violations and they, with the directors,
are therefore liable to prosecution under the
insolvency law. The entire business. the
committee says, was carried on without re-
gard to law or method. In many instances,
money Was loaned on notes discounted to
parties utterly devoid Of credit. without Sc
curity and in many cases upon securities
that never had face value. The officials
exhausted their personal balances shortly
before the announcement of the suspension Of
the bank The recommendation was agreed
to that counsel be employed to assist in law
suits to recover the property and money un-
lawfully transferred, to begin criminal pro-
ceedings and otherwise look after the inter-
ests of the depositors.
