Captain Sweeney Says Louisiana Is Hope
lessly Democratic.

Captain James Sweeney, the New Orleans
coal man, is at the Central hotel. He says
the price of coal in his city has dropped
from so to IS cents. This is due to the warm
weather, and the large supplies that have
been shipped there in the last three months
from Pittsburg. He says business is good
and the cotton crop is great.
Speaking politically he said: Eyes, Blaine
is popular in Louisiana since the Italian
trouble. 1 like Blaine very well myself, but
there is no danger of Louisiana going Repub-
lican if he were nominated. The State is
hopelessly Democratic, and you can bet on
that every time"

THREE HURLED TO DEATH.
STRUCK BY A LOCOMOTIVE AT A CROSSING.
INJURED-A MAN, HIS SISTER AND
A BABY KILLED.

An accident occurred yesterday morning on
the Amboy Division Of the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Railroad at GiTord's Station which re-
suited in the killing of three persons and the
probable fatal injuring of another. The victims
were John Jones, twenty-four years old, fisher
man of Erastina; Mrs. Carrie Edwards, his
sister, twenty eight years DID, and Blanche Edwards,
the one-year-old child of Mrs. Edwards. Anton
Banter, fourteen years old, was so badly hurt
that it is feared he will die.
Mrs. Edwards with her child had been stay
igg at the house of her brother and the latter
started to take her TO her home in a wagon. Young
Banter, who worked for Jones, went along with
them. 1t Jones's intention to stop at Giffords
to get some fish, and when the wagon reached
the crossing there the :0s o'clock train from ST.
George came around a curve, and in a few seconds
struck the wagon, knocking it into splinters
The occupants were hurled through the air, and
Jones, his sister and the child were mangled in
terrible manner, having been killed instantly.
Young Banter was unconscious when he was
picked up.
The place where the accident occurred is re-
garded as a dangerous crossing, and it is alleged
that the unfortunate victims did not have proper
warning of the approach of the train. When they
the locomotive for the first time coming around
the curve it only few yards away from
them. so that it was impossible for them to escape
by jumping out of the wagon When Jones saw
death staring him in the face. he tried to urge his
horse across the track but the animal seemed to
become paralyzed from fright and stood still. 1t
is doubtful. however. that even if the horse had
gone on. the wagon could have escaped being
struck.
The three bodies were placed aboard train, as
was also young Banter, and conveyed to Staple
ton. There an ambulance was in waiting to take
Banter to the Smith Inlrmary at New-BrightOn
The boy was so badly hurt that the surgeon did
not believe he could survive. The three bodies
were removed to the morgue by order Of Coroner
Hughes. Mrs. Edwards the wife of Jacob
Edwards, who lives near Giford's.
Coroner Hughes empanelled a jury and will hold
considerable delay on the road and for a time
much excitement prevailed, as it was reported
that there had been even greater loss of life
