IS HE COLOR BLIND
Engineer DOnOhue Alleged to
Be So Afflicted.
HERR1oK'S PECULIAR DEFENSE.
Attempt to ba Made to Shift Respons ibil-
ity for the Hastings Disaster

Witnesses who win Swear that Red
Latern Was Left on the Station Plat
form, and that ToIpedoes Had Been
Placed on the Tracl--Central OGicials
Say Donohue's Eyes Had Been Examined
Only a short Time Ago.
New York, Jan. 5.-Albert e. Her
rick the trainmau who is charged with
being responsible for the terrible disaster
on the Central Railroad near Hastings on
Christmas Eve, viii set up peculiar de-
fense when he is brought to trial before a
Westchester county jury
Yesterday Lawyer Walsh made known
Herrick's defense He win claim that
Engineer Donohue of the ST. Louis ex-
press is color blind Lawyer Walsh said:
81 have six witnesses who will swear that
they heard the torpedoes, which Herrick
claims he placed upon the track as sig
nails, explode can also prove that Her
rick left his red lantern on the platform
with the light turned toward the South,
and this alone ought to have proved sufii-
clent to stop the ST. Louis express.
II can also prove that red lantern,
swung by a brakeman named Cramer, on
the Niagara Falls special was taken for
white lantern by the engineer Of
the St, Louis express That looks as if
Donohue, the engineer Of the St. Louis
express, was color blind, does it not2
shall also produce other witnesses to
prove that Engineer Donohue cannot dis
tinguish Che difference between a red and
Il white light at night
President Depew said yesterday: "We
are waiting for the Railroad Commission
ers to decide the questions raised in my
communication, addressed to them on the
2d inst, regarding the introduction of
the block system as far as Buffalo. Then
the railroad company win push the put
ting in Of the block system as rapidly as
possible ~
Central Railroad officials say positively
that Engineer Donahue of the ST. Louis
express is not color blind. Superintend-
ent Of Motive Power and Rolling Stock
Buchanan says that Donahue's sight was
tested no longer ago than last July, and
he distinguished colors correctly without
hesitation.
The same system of testing the sight is
employed on nearly all the roads here
abouts. A quantity of worsted contain
ing all the colors Of the rainbow and a
few others besides is spread on table
The man to submit to the test comes in
alone before the examiner and picks out
strands of each color and names them as
he picks them out. A single mistake
means the loss of his place. These tests
are made about once a year.

started at a. m. in the frame building
known as the Arcadian Hall at the corner
of Broad and Prospect streets, quickly

stroyed.

lug him with fraud in connection with

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--Seaker Crsp's
condition of health while not sufficiently
alarming TO cause apprehension, is such
as prelude the possibility Of his presiding
over the House to-day. The programme
which it was supposed had been deter
mined upon for the Speaker to designate
Mr.. Mc1lillin as Speaker for the day, is
found impracticable for the reason that
there are no rules yet adopted which per-
nit of this action. Consequently, as at
calling the House to order win deyolve
on the Clerk, and the House win then be
left to select its Speaker pro tcin it is
probable that Mr. McAlillin will be elected
to this position.

Bonner's Ferry team, the score after
playing two innings on each side
stood s in favor of Bonner's Ferry
to O for Nelson.
At 4 o'clock the Nelson people
departed for home, but those of the
Spokaneeaarty remained for the
ball at night.
Wednesday the excursion started
homeward bound, but coming UP
the river progress was somewhat
retarded by the large amount of
floating driftwood, which placed
the wheel in constant danger. At
night the boat tied up at Nails
ranch and another hop was given
on board. 1t was s o'clock Thurs
day morning when the whistle blew
for Bonner's Ferry.
Home againl But it had been
a delightful trip. 1t was a jolly
party, and the excursion to Kaslo
will long linger in the memory of
those who attended as one full of
pleasant recollections.
Among those who were on the
Spokane were the following: Mr..
and Mrs. w. r. Smith, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed Otley, Mr.. and Mrs. David
Goode, Mrs. ]. G. Callahan, Mrs.

NOTES.

to R. E. Lemon, of Nelson, and
hope we may accompany him some
other time.
VIII Sam Green, of Ainsworth
and w. G. Mclean, of Nelson, ever
recall the last scenes of the celebra-
ton at Kaslo?
A. D. Walker, Esq, the orator
for the Americans, asked very
pertinent question just after fin
ishing his speech.
There were several cases of sea-
sickness among the male passen-
gers on the trip. The Kootenai
waters are very rough at times.
]. G. McRae suffered from sea
sickness on the second day out, but
under the fatherly care of A. A.
Deem was able for duty by night.
Captain G. r. Gray and Purser
McEachron are to be remembered
for many kind acts in looking after
the convenience and comforts of the
passengers.
H. H. Holley was the champion
rustler of the party. There was
always great commotion in the
big stateroom when Holley got
ready to retire
A cold wave struck Nelson lust
about the time the Spokane landed,
but the weather had assumed a
pleasant state by the time Aims
worth was reached.
The steamer Spokane was de-
layed on her return trip waiting
for the return of Oarsman Burke.
who got off the tangent after turn
ing the stake in the boat race.
The massive form of Major Leo
HI. Faust, the talented editor of
the Pend d'Oreille News, loomed
up among the passengers on the
Spokane as she sailed down the
river.

Citizens are Talking of Having
a Night Watchman.
THE FERRY WILL CELEBRATE
The kootenai on the Rampage--The
Trail from kaslo to Slocan--OF
for the Mlnes--PersonaIs.
NIGHT wATCHMAN.


There is talk of putting on
night watchman for the town.
There have been a number of cases
Of petty thefts during the past
week, and it may be that more
serious evil will be done If we do
not have a night watchman. A
watchman would be good thing,
if only to look after the fire cues
tion. With many new buildings
going up there is necessarily
large amount of infammable ma.
terial lying around which would
take fire from a cigar stub or other
trivial cause. By having careful
and attentive watchman confia-
grafton might be avoided.
TO CELEBRATE THE. FOURTH.
1t is generally understood that
Bonner's Ferry will appropriately
celebrate the 4th. If so, it is time
to commence work in the way of
making preparations. There ought
to be meeting called to take ac-
ton. A month is little enough
time for preparations.
