The wreck on the b. & 0. at Sir

been cleared away and the engine and
demolished cars remain beside the
track as . gentle reminder Of the dis
asterthat occurred OH Wednesday. New

theory advanced ~ TIN WoRLn that
the accident could Be attributed 70 the
spreading Of defective track has been
very generally accepted even among
the railway men, who at FIRST thoughta
land slide was the cause.
In this connection the question nat
urally arising Is; Why do they not
have some coroner's inquests in regard
to these deaths in order TO ascertain
whether the company is to blame or
not. The manner Of bringing victims
and accepting the say so Of the b. Q.
company that they were killed acci-
dentally ought not to be allowed and
IL the laws now in effect are inadequate
then some new ones ought to be en-
acted. The idea Of burying person
III this manner, is not right.
II isa well known fact that the com
pany does not begin to keep the NUM-
Der Of track walkers and section men
in its employ that il has in other part
and that the road bed Is in many places
in bad condition.

WoRLD reporter the other evening
that he had walked over Ave miles Of
the track and ia that distance he count

so much 80 that he could sink the heel
Of his foot in them. There is room for
investigation as 10 whether the negli-
gence and carelcssness Of the company
is not in many instances the cause Of
some Of these accidents that result in
the death Of many victims.

Progress.
Especial to THE woRIDl
BANGOR, Me-, October 24.-One Of
the greatest ocean races on record is
now in progress between four big sail
ing ships, which left San Francisco On
the same day few weeks ago grain
laden for Europe. First among the
feet is the queen of American mer-
chant feet, the four-masted ship Shen-
andoah, of Bath, 1858 tons net register.
She is less than year old and is the
largest wooden ship afoat She car
ries 5000 tons of wheat; the largest
cargo Of the kind ever slowed in sail
ing ship, and is bound for Liverpool.
The Shenandoah's greatest COMPETE
tor in the race is the British iron ship
Strathean, flyer of great renown.
The Strathean is twenty years old,
and in her young days was a crack
packet between New York and Liver
pool, easily beating the time Of most
of the steam freighters, while in recent
years she has made some wonderful
passages between the United Kingdom
and the Pacific grain ports.
The other two racers are the ships
S. D. Carleton, of Rockport, Me-, and
the British-ship Bulkamals, both
bound for Havre. The ship NJ. P.
Grace, for New York, also starts with
the racers and will try her speed with
them around the Horn and up the
Atlantic.

DETROIT, October 24.-Hank john
son, blind and half a leg short of the
usual number, and "Shorty" Barney,
without legs or any part thereof, are
well-known characters at the Central
Market, where they sell notions. Yes
terday they became engaged in des-
perate fight Barney had the advant-
age Of sight, but this was offset by the
handicamp on his locomotion. When
the men first attracted general notice
the blind man had thrown the cripple
out of his cart and was on top of him,
hammering him furiously. Barney fl
nally wriggled from the grasp Of his
sightless foeman and rolled into the
gutter. johnson besought some one to
lead him to his enemy, that he might
"chew him up.' He at last found Bar
ney, upon whom he fell like beast,
sinking his teeth into the Others cheek
Barney broke away and rolled into the
street. The blind man was furious.
He was covered with his antagonists
blood, and fourished his crutch like n
mailman. He screamed frantically for
his guide, frowsy boy, to lead him to
Barney. The latter had been placed
in his cart, however, and was wheeled
away.

MARSHAL GARD HAPPY.
The Substance of Pilot Dill's State
ment to Him,

ment to Him.
Marshal Gard was in a very happy
frame of mind when seen by a HERALD
reporter. "The United States warsbip
Omaha arrived at San Pedro at z
O'clock" said the marshal. "She was
apparently ordered out after the Robert
and Minnie"
Marshal Gard stated that Pilot Dill
had given him the following particulars
in regard to the matter. "That force
was used by the captain of the Itata.
That at one time they had guard of
six Chileans over him. that he saw two
ten-inch guns; six forty-pounders and
two howitzers, and that there were not
less than 150 men ON board armed with
rifles, and that there were thirty-eight
prisoners of war in the hold, and that the
captain, otter putting him on board the
Robert and Minnie, said that he would
make eleven knots an hour until his
destination was reached, which he thinks
will be, Iquique. That the arms were
put on board OF the Itata south of San
Clemente on Thursday night and early
Friday morning"
II there were thirty-eight prisoners
and so many guns aboard, why they were
not discovered when the Itata put in at
San Diego is a mystery. If the captain
Of the Itata and the captain of the Rob-
ert and Minnie should ever meet, what
funny stories would they relate of their
experiences on the Pacific coast during
the early part of the month of May,
when they played two serious parts in
the farce-comedy which is now drawing
to close.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-05-11
WERE THEY AFRAID 2
Officials on Tug Pay Silent Visit
to the Schooner.


The men ON board the Robert and
Minnie must have laughed up their
sleeves when the tug containing the
American officers sailed around the
schooner near San Diego. 1t was a case
of "they never spoke as they passed BY"
The minions of the law eyed the desper-
ADDE'S and pirates on board the Robert
and Minnie, but as they did not attempt
to seize the schooner or even question
the captain, the two million cartridges
and ten thousand rifles were not
brought into requisition. 1t is whispered
around that the officials were scared at
the desperate looks of the crew. The
chances at this stage of the game were
five to one that Mr.. Burt would not de-
liver the goods according to contract.
He did, however and doubtless the firm
he represents will reward him with a
gold medal. He stated to HERALD re-
porter yesterday that he expected when
he saw the tug that his game was up,
and would have surrendered if any de-
mand had been made on him, but as
the schooner was not even saluted with
''sbip ahoy," he did not begin the
conversation, and after viewing the
schooner to their hearts content, with
out word or query, the tug was
turned and went back to San Diego
Los Angeles herald., 1891-05-11
THE scHooNER's POSITION.
Hard to See Where She Has Violated
ANY Law.

Mr.. Burt is clever business man.
His firm is engaged in selling and manu-
featuring guns. They intrusted him
with an order for 100000 cartridges
and 10000 rifles, to be delivered on
board the Itata, on the Pacific ocean.
The Robert and Minnie was loaded with
the weapons of warfare, and sailed out
of San Francisco harbor in broad day
light on the afternoon of the 23d of last
month. The schooner was boarded at
San Pedro. A custom house official
stayed on board one day and half.
The rifles were on deck. The custom
house officer was shown the manifest.
The Robert and Minnie was allowed to
depart, and last Saturday the cartridges
and guns were transferred on board of
the Itata, near the south end of San
Clemente island.
The Robert and Minnie people claim
that it is an American boat, loaded with
goods of American manufacture, and
that the schooner has never been out of
American waters, and that it makes no
difference whether the cargo delivered
was sugar or rifles; that they simply
9acted as a lighter.

bns sailed away, as any one would

naturally expect.
After the vessel was under way,
Spaulding was invited by the captain to
have drink. II don't mind II do, !"
replied the lone representative of the
American nation, as he followed the
captain to his cabin. A bottle of beer
was produced and the captain was about
to pull the cork, when some one, ac-
cording to arrangement, called him out
"Wont you pull the cork" requested
the captain as he stepped to the door.
Spaulding assented and pulled the cork,
when two guns were pointed at his
head. The bottle of beer dropped to
the floor and Spaulding begged not be
killed. "a
II have never been to sea befoRe,"
whined the deputy marshal, "and
am afraid L will be awfully sick" Not
wishing to have a sick American official
on board, the commander of the Itata
put Spaulding ashore at Ballast point,
after giving him ten dollar gold piece.
Pilot Dill will doubtless vouch for the
latter part of this story.

And Then Was Afraid of Being Awfuily

An amusing story was told to the war
editor of the HERALD yesterday after
noon. 1t was in reference to Spaulding,
the deputy United States marshal car
ried off by the Itata. After the captain
had been arrested, it will be remem-
bered that Spaulding was put in charge
of the Itata by Marshal Gard. The
daring captain was not awed by the
presence of the United States official,

DETECTIVE MORSE.
The Rather Pro6tless Role He Seems
to Be Playing.


to Be Playing.
The story published in the Times of
yesterday, to the effect that the Itata
had been disabled off Catalina, and that
the Falcon with deputy United States
marshal and posse would go out to sea
that night, proved to be canard.
The Itata has put many hundred miles
between her and any American port by
this time. She is said by Mr. Burt to
be able to make sixteen knots an hour.
There appears to be considerable differ
ence of opinion in regard to the guns
carried on the Itata. Every one who
has been aboard tells a different story,
and the chances are that she is not
armed any more than the usual mer-
chantman.
1t might be added that Mr.. Burt is
indignant at the way in which he was
arrested by Detective Morse He
claims that he had no papers for his de-
tention, and that it was after midnight
when the papers were sery ed on him;
consequently it was illegal to arrest him
on Sunday.
The question has been asked why
Captain Harry Morse is here? He is
supposed to represent the Chilean con-
sui at Washington in this matter. OF
course. the Chilean minister at Wash
ington is anxious to enlist the United
States in aiding them in the struggle
now going on down south. Every point
has consequently been dug up that would
have tendency to egg on the minister
of war, and this has been Mr.. Morse's
business.
