sAGE,s COWARDICE.
The Millionaire Shielded Himself
Behind Clerk.

New YORK, Dec. 24.-The Evening
World says: "Unless a compromise is
effected, Russell Sage will probably be
made defendant in one of the most
novel and interesting suits ever brought
in a court of law. The preliminary
steps have been taken to bring an ac-
ton az ainst the multi-miIlionaire put
and call broker for heavy damages for
having used Brokers Clerk w. r. Laid
law to shield himself when NOrcrOss,
the dynamiter, exploded his bomb in
Sage's Office Dec. 4. 1t is understood
that the amount of damage TO be
claimed has been placed at 100000.
The suit will be based upon the allega-
ton that the millionaire deliberately
held the brokers' clerk between himself
and the menacing dynamiter, with the
result that Mr.. Sage's life was saved at
the expense of horrible injuries to Mr..
Laidlaw. 1t will be further alleged, it
is understood, that Mr.. Sage was fully
aware that he was jeOpardizing the
young clerks life to save his own.

the Outlaws.

YONKERS, n. Y, Dec. pa shock
ing accident occurred tonight at Hast
ings, on the Hudson river road, be-
tween the st. Louis express and a
Niagara Falls special train. This acct

been killed and many injured. Some
say that the number of killed is eight,
while others claim that ten persons
were either crushed or scalded to death.
The locomotive, when it crashed into
the rear sleeper of the leading train,
exploded its boiler. The escaping
steam did deadly work among the I'M
fortunates who were in the wrecked
cars.
The scene at the wreck was indie
scribable. The tralnmen lost their
heads and ran about in frantic man.
ner, peering into the wreck at those
who lay within moaning and dying, but
doing very little toward rescuing the
victims. Finally number of physicians
and citizens of this place reached the
scene and the work of rescue began.
The dead and injured were placed on a
special train and brought to this place.
Seven Are Dead.

s. A. KEAN'S FAILURE.
Judge Shepard Condemns a
Fraudulent Deal.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Judge Shepard in
the circuit court to-day handed down a
decision in the matter of appointing
receiver for the estate of S. A. Kean,
the insolvent banker. This decision
was rendered in suit by sundry cred
itors, who attacked the action of the
assignee i'll turning over all the assets
to Everett NJ. Warden, who agreed to
pay the creditors So cents on
the dollar in consideration of all
claims. It was claimsd that
there was fraud in this action and
Judge Shepard so decided this after
noon, when he reversed the proceed
ings in the county court and granted
the motion for receiver. In his decis-
ion the judge bitterly scored the parties
who had been instrumental in having
the assets turned over to Warren and
declared that it prepared the way for
gross fraud upon the creditors. 1.-THE
county court last summer, in discharg-
ing the assignee, overstepped its juris-
diction and practically gave away the
estate" said Judge Shepard. Edward
Filkins was informally selected as re-
ceiYer.

A Sad Fatality Interrupts Judge OIL
vier's Family Merriment.
HIS ELDEST SON DROPS DEAD.
Unexpected Appearance of Death
Changes House of Joy to a
House Of Sad Mourning.

The many friends of Judge and Mrs.
John B. Olivier will deeply sympathize
with them in the sad bereavement they
suffered last evening by the Sudden
death of their eldest son, Louis olivier.
Shortly before o'clock the you : man
made visit to a neighbours house to
deliver a Christmas present. He
was on his way home when
he, met companion, and the
men in good nature started
a foot race. At the corner of Chestnut
and Smith avenue Olivier slipped on the
snowy sidewalk and fell to the ground.
The sound Of the fall attracted the at
tention of n. Hardy, of POP Smith ave-
nue.. He raj out of his house, and was
surprised to find the son of his old
friend JudgeOlivierl lying on the ground.
He took him inside his house and sent
for DIR. Keam, who soon arrived. The
doctor pronounced the young man
as dead, and the remains were
conveyed to his parents resi-
dence, IS North Smith avenue.
Mrs. Olivier, with her married daughters
and the rest of her children, were en-
Toying social evening, ana when the
news was broken to them a sad scene
occurred. The family doctors, Messrs.
Marquis and Marchand, were sum-
mvned, and on their arrival they used
every means known to science to re-
store animation, as faint huttering of
the heart indicated that life was
not extinct when the physicians
arrived, but their efforts were
fruitless, and they we're compelled to
tell the relatives of the unfortunate
youth that he was dead. The exact
caSse of death could not be determined,
and an autopsy will be held in order to
show whether death was due 10 heart
disease or rupture of blood vessel of
the brain caused by the fall on the side
walk. No fracture of the scalp or skull
could be found last evening. Judge
Olivier was not at home at the
time of the sad occurrence, and

school teacher boarding at McMillan's,
was shot twice in the neck.
The outlaws then opened McMillan's

wanted and left it lighted up and open,
scattering shoes along the road. They
remarked that they would burn out and
kill DIR. Brown and Frank Tate tonight.
Sims daughters were dressed i'm mems
clothes and armed with WInchesters
at Sims house yesterday, and are sup
posed to be part of the seven. A large
body of men are after the gang, and

bystander and wounding the deputy in
charge. One of the brothers was killed.

and have been hunted vigorously ever
since. John Mcmillan had been a men,

he reached his home, which in mo-
ment had been turned from a scene of
happiness to one of mourning and grief,
he was overcome and wrung his hands
bitterly, and then bravely tried to COM

Coroner Quinn was notified, and will
await the autopsy before deciding
whether an inquest is necessary. The
unfortunate young man was little over
twenty-one years, and was a favorite
with all who knew him.
