THE sPEAKERsHIP FIGHT.
A Grave Detection Reported in Spring
er's Forces.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-There were
rumors tonight of serious detection in
Springer's ranks, but he vigorously de-
MED them. The Iowa delegation is
reported to have resolved to leave
Springer and support Mills upon first
ballot, fearing Crisp might be otherwise
elected. The members of the Iowa del
egation do not entirely acknowledge the
truth of this report. The friends of
Mills ard making strenuous attempts to
force Springer out of the race by secur-
ing Newberry, Fithian and Wike of the
Illinois delegation. 1t is understood
these gentlemen have resolved to desert
Springer and go to Mills on first ballot.
A meeting OF the Illinois delegation
was called. 1t did not adjourn until 2
a. m.
AT the instance of Newberry, Fithian,
Forman and Wike, a resolution was
passed by vote of 8 to 5, express.

be elected. Springer t6en appeared
before the delegation, sr..d he was asked
for his opinion c.. tie situation. 1t is
not known yet whether he will with
draw or will insist upon the delegation
going into caucus and giving him loyal
support. To an Associated Press re-
porter he said tonight: 81 am still in
the race, and my delegation will be for
me tomorrow. My candidacy is still as
much factor in the contest as it ever
has BEEN"
The various members of Springer's
delegation refused to say anything for

A SINGULAR WRECK.
-Four Trains Piled Up in a Heap with
Terrible Effect.

-
Terrible Effect.
PROVIDENCE, X. l., Dec. Am extra
ordinary accident occurred at East
Thompson, CT, on the New York and
New England railroads. main line, early
this morning. Four trains, two freights
and two passengers, were piled up in
indescribable confusion within less than
five minutes, and three lives were lost,
while several persons were seriously in
jured, one OF whom may die. The pas
senger trains were the Norwich boat
train and the Long Island and eastern
states express. Both the engineers and
the fireman of the Long Island ex-
press were killed, and an unknown pas
senger was burned to death.
The local south bound freight pulled
out about O'Clock from East Thompson
station, on the west bound track. There
was heavy fog. Suddenly special
freight, bound for Boston on the west
track, crashed into the local and a long
pile of freight cars blocked both the
east and west bound tracks.
The train hands had scarcely recov-
cred from the shock, when there was
another whistle and in an instant
another terrific crash. This time it was
the Long Island express which was be-
hind time. The engine struck the
wreckage and tipped over. Engineer
Harry Tabor and his fireman, Jerry
Fitzgerald, were instantly killed, Tabor
being beheaded.
The boat train usually goes ahead of
the express, but this morning was late,
and was held at Putnam. After the
express passed, it started ahead at
high rate of speed. At the scene of the
wreck some of the trainmen snatched
flag and ran back, but the engineer OF
the boat train did not see the man until
within 100 feet of the wreck. He
reversed his engine, put on the air,
and with the fireman, jumped. The
engine of the local train went half
through the Pullman car on the rear
end of the Long Island express, while
the tender telescoped the baggage car !
behind. There were but few passengers
on either train, and all but one escaped
with slight injuries. An unknown man
in the Pullman car was burned to death |
in the wreckage.
Engineer Wild and Fireman Boyce OF |
the freight train were seriously hurt.
The other trainmen, like the passen-
gers, escaped with slight injuries.

A Complicated Railway Disaster In Con-

In One Heap and
Burned.
Associated Press Dispatches.


New YoRK, Dec. 4.-The Tribune's g
Haverstraw dispatch says Twelve
barges loaded with brick, towed by the
Cornell Towing company's steamboat
Townsend, coming down the Hudson,
were upset when opposite Croton point,
about 0 O'Clock this evening, and about
twenty persons were drowned. When
at Croton point the swash of the river
was go great that the tug was compelled
to round to, thus forcing the barges to
ride each other. Being loaded and the
tide washing high, they Immediately
upset. There were sixty men on the
twelve barges, and only about thirty
have come to shore. The accident is
attributed by many to the carelessness
of the pilot of the tug, VIC. Curran. A
boatman on the barge Louise, who has
just arrived from his swim ashore, says
"We were playing the concertina in
the cabin at the time of the accident.
/ ran on deck only to see one scow run
on top of another. The boats did not
= sink, but toppled over. Upon each
barge were five men, making sixty in
all. OF these only about thirty have
come ashore"
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The Herald's account OF the Hudson
river drowning disaster says: 1t is
thought twenty lives Were lost. Ten
bodies were recovered up to midnight.
A storm came upon the barges just as
they reached Croton point, and the
waves were 80 heavy they began to wash
over the tow boat. To save her from
foundering it was necessary to heave to
with her head to the sea. The moment
the tow line was cast off, the barges be-
gan to drive onto one another and were
knocked about. Some had holes stove in
the side and sunk; some caught one
against another and the combined force
OF the wind and waves turned them bot
tom up. No warning seems to have
been given by the tug people when they
heaved to. The first the men in the
barges knew, their boats were smashing
into each other, upsetting and sinking.
Some had time to rush on deck and
jump into the water. Many must have
been caught in the cabins like rats in a
trap, and drowned. In all the barges
there were at least fifty persons, and
only thirty have come ashore alive. 1t
may be some men managed to climb on
tne capsiZed Darge5.
TUGS PATRoLLING THE RIVER.
HAvERsTRAw, Dec. 5.-Tugs are out
all over the river in the hopes of saving
any who may have clung to the bottom
of the capsized barges, but little hope is
entertained of the safety of the remain
der of the crews. Twelve are known to
have besn drowned from different
boats. Great excitement prevails ir
the village,
At O'Clock this morning the t1gs
WHICH went out to the rescue have not
fep,urned.

DISASTER AT ST. PAUL.
Fifteen Laborers Horribly Crushed

Fifteen Laborers Horribly Crushed
kUnder a Wall. M
ST. PAUL, Minn,, Dec. 4.-The most
horrible accident that ever occurred in
st. Paul took place here this afternoon.
The wall OF the Shepard building, re-
Gently occupied by Farwell, Ozmun &
Kirkwell, fell in, burying the workmen
beneath the ruins. 1t is thought fifteen
men were beneath the wall at the time
it fell, and the majority OF them were
killed or suffered injuries which will
probably prove fatal. All the patrol
wagons of the city were at once sum-
moned, and the police attempted to or
ganize the laborers who were not under
the wall, and get them to work
removing the dead and in
jured. The men were wild with
excitement, however, and it was some
time before more than half dozen
could be induced to go to work. In less
than half an hour the men had taken
out ten of their companions, five of
whom were dead and five injured, one
fatally. Contractor Wilcox was taken
out dead and mangled beyond recogni-
tion. The wounded we're removed to
the city hospital, and the dead, with
the exception OF one man, were laid out
in the Great Northern freight house.
There were groans or cries from the
injured as the poor fellows were extri-
Gated from the ruins by their fellow
workmen.
The foreman of the gang working
about the building was frantic with grief

names of any of the men although he
knew them all; neither could he tell the
exact number OF men under the wall at
eight were instantly killed, three fatally
injured and four severely cut and
bruised.
The accident can to large extent be
credited to the blizzard'e advent in this
city today. The wall. already weakened
by having its supports burned away
became topheavy when the supporting
debris was removed from against it, and
went over with crash before the gale.
FIFTEEN men were working close to the
wall, when without warning it crashed
down on them, burying them beneath.
Not one escaped, and all were SO terribly
mashed and mangled that it was with
much difficulty they were identified.
The list of killed is as follows: Edward
Wilcox, contractor; John Adams, Charles
Katritski. John Koleski, Frank Sewel,
Charles Slies, Frank Marks, Peter Lar
son.
The fatally injured are: Frank Tesh-
Ter, Henry Murphy, John Maurer.
Others injured are Frank st. Peter,
Thomas Morter, Mike McNamara,
Stephen Robe.
Not one had retained consciousness.
The most careful handling possible
seemed to be torture most horrible, for
the rescuers were not we'll drilled to the
gruesome task at the outset, and did
not work together as they did later. La
their Disconnected efforts they seemed
at times to be pulling the men almost
to pieces. The faces of the workmen
were almost as ghastly as If they had
been dead themselves. The majoritr

They will also be photographed. Harry
Patton was in yesterday and says his

every forest tree and half the fence posts
in the San Gorgonio pass, and are now
pulling freight train up steep grade
for practice. Juan Tomas is the anchor
man and he can pull John L. Sullivan
all over the country. Mr.. Patton says
that his team will take first prize, but
that Hutchinson has to take down the

THE STAFFORD SPRINGS FAIR

The society was not fortunate in weath- CT for its fair last week, yet It's managers feel elated that things were no worse. The first day began with an unpromising sky, yet all passed off we'll, and the at- tendance was much above the average of first days. Towards night rain set in and continued through the night. Rain ceased in the early morning of Thursday, and it was a question whether to announce @ postponement until another day. But the people had confidence in the signs of a clearing away, and kept coming in such multitudes that there was nothing else to do but to go on with the fair. It would have been better all around had it con- tinued to rain during Thursday, and so have justified postponement. But 1t proved a fair day, after all, and with about half the usual attendance the fair went on.
 It Is safe to say that the attendance was sufficient to save the society from loss, probably 5000 people passing the gates on the two days. Moving around among the masses expressions of satisfac- tion were general. The rope walkers paced the slender thread of wire in mid air often and sklfully, only once being afraid to make the return trip on account of the high wind. They walked blind folded, also backward and forward. The slide for life was often repeated, and as novelty duly appreciated. The balloon man failed to make his exhibit on the second day, the strong wind collapsing his balloon with "bang" when nearly full. On the fist day the ascent was made as billed, though the wind carried the air-ship off before it could rise far
 The trapese man did well, and filled in many moments not otherwise occupied. In fact few saw all the fair, owing to the difficulty of being in two places at once. Under the very good management of Gen. Harbison everything was kept nov ing, and in spite of the late beginning, caused by the rain, the trotting program of the day, including some finishes of pre- vious days races, were got through with. Gen. Harbison Is one of the best for this difficult position, keeping everything nov ing, being fair to all, and commanding the respect of all contestants. The flat races of the second day was declared off, how ever, so much relieving the very lengthy program. The record of the track was reduced one second, Honesty in the "free for all' class making record of 2.26t.
 Following is the summary of races:
