Bio wn by Dynamite.

TARRYrowN, n, Y, May f9.-There
was a horrible accident near here to-
dav, by which the loss of life is estl-
mated at between sixteen and twenty
and the injured as many more.
An engine and one fat car were con-
veying load of Italians and twenty
four cases of dynamite, each case con-
tanning fifty pounds. The Italians were
being taken to a section of the road
where third track was being laid. A
coil of rope lay in front of the truck of
the engine. Just as the train was
passing Holmes Point, midway between
Tarrytown and Irvington, a spark from
the locomotive ignited the coil of rope.
The moving train famed the flames
and before the Italians realized their
danger one of the packages of dynamite
exploded.
As to the number of men on the train
accounts differ. Some say there were
ffty-three. The lowest estimate places
the number at over forty, Disston. the
boss, thinks there We're over forty, and
as a matter of fact the number of those
blown either to atoms or into the river
is TO a certain extent matter of spec
ulation.
The train was torn to atoms, the rail
way tracks tipped from their beds and
a great hole dug out of the earth.
Three of the Italians died in the
Tarrytown hospital after being re-
moved from the wreck. Ten bodies
were picked up along the track, while
five were taken out of the water.

The landlord is in fact, the owner OF
the soil only in name. Unless he him
self turns gentleman farmer, he can not
determine the tenancy; he can not re-
fuse the renewal of the lease; he has no
voice in the selection of his tenantry;
he can not raise the rent or enforce q
new condition; he often does not even
know the name of the person who pays
him his rent, his intrades, or his pots de
win; if the farm changes hands, the new
tenent is not his own nominee, but the
representative of the preceding occu-
pier; he can not even sell his land in the
open market. What makes the estab
lishment of the droit de marche more
remarkable is, that its principle is
violation of the principles of French
law which, since 1890, has set its face
against perpetuitieS. Yet, though this
tenant right is not only unrecognized,
but prescribed by the law. the tenant
farmer sells this illegal right by public
auction, disposes of it by will. divides
il among his children, and makes it the
subject of contracts which notaries en-.
body in legal language. And, as curl
Gus result of its legal prescription, it es-
capes taxation, for. sooner than appear
to sanction its legality, the state prefers
to lose a source of revenue.
The system thus described has been
maintained for centuries in the teeth OF
the landlords backed by all the power OF
a despotic government. IL holds its
groun by combination. secrecy and ter
rorism. Suppose that a landlord wishes to
extinguish the droit, and convert his land
into terre hbre. He takes the opportu,
nifty of the expiration of the lease to re-
fuse its renewal TO enforce new condi
tons, to raise the rent, or to evict the
tenant in order to introduce his own
nominee The occupier goes to the viii
lage cabaret, and among his neighborf
utters the formula: ''Je n'ai lamais de-
monte personne; j'espere que personns
ne me demontera." 1t is the proclama,
ton of an interdict The farm is boy.
cotted. The holding is thrown up; il
can not be let; the land falls out of cul.
tivation. If new tenant is brought in
from a distance, or a neighbor bids for
the farm, he is denounced as depoin
teux or land-grabber. From passive re-
sistence TO open violence is a short STEP
The depointeux is unable to hire labor
ers, his sons can obtain no employment,
his daughters no husbands. His neigh.
bors refuse to hold intercourse with
him or his family, or to render them
any assistance. Any one who breaks
this interdict falls under its ban. Men
with masks or blackened faces sow tares
among his crops, break up his nipple
ments, burn his farm buildings, rici1s,
and stables, mutilate his cattle. MAIN
his horses, or fire shots into his house.
Finally, if these gentler hints fail tc
take effect. the depointeux is found with
bullet through his head or drowned in
