ENGINE no. 4 a WRECK.
Turned Over on Henry Street and
Driver Pringle Badly Hurt.

OV0T On a0nEN OEESSB hI1A
Driver Pringle Badly Hurt.
Fire engine No. was turned over on its
side and badly wrecked at Whitaker and
Henry streets yesterday afternoon. A
minute or two before. at Barnard aud
Henry streets, Driver Pringle was thrown
from bis seat under the engine and had his
right leg badly crushed between the knee
and ankle by ore of the wheels of the pom
derous machine
y Pringle was exercising the horses as is the
usual daily custom. AS he was driving
east on Henry street at a slow trot the
front wheel of the engine sank into hole
in the shell pavement. The engine lurched
and Priugle losing his balance, fell from
the seat under the engine. He struck on
his back with a leg on each side Of the
wheel. which is all tcat saved bis life.
The moment the horses felt the lack of
hold on the reins they BECAME frightened
and broke into run down Henry
street. At Whitaker the team made a
| sudden sharp turn northward striking the
curb and turning the engine over. The
| shock broke the harness and freed the horses,
| who continued on their run back to the
engine house.
The smokestack OF the engine was broken
off completely and thrown about ten feet,
| the seat was smashed almost TO splinters,
| wheels were wrenched out of position.
PriDgle was taken to his home, across the
street from where the accident occurred.
and physicians were summoned. When
| they arrived the swelling was so great that
it could not be determined whether any
bones are broken. He was afterward re-
| moved to st. Joseph's inlirmary for treat
ment While Pringle's injury is of a Sc
rious nature, the doctors do not anticipate
fatal results.
Chief Puder was at the veterans celebra~
ton in the parade ground when the acct
dent occurred. but was notified at once By
an officer. he went to the scene and first
looked after the condition of Priugle after
which he telephoned to headquarters for q
force of men with jack and screws TO get the
| wrecked engine back on its wheels. 1t
| took several hours of hard work to accom-
plish this, but finally the engine was got into
such shape that it could be hauled to the
engine house. The damage will amount TO
several hundred dollars, and IL will take
some time to get it in shape for service.
| The accident was of such peculiar charac-
ter that it attracted a big crowd of people,
with the result that the reports Of the affair
were greatly exaggerated and Pringle re-
| ported killed.

EDWIN PERRY MISSING.
He Drew $1,000 From a Providence
Bank Last TUESDAY,.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEWS


ATTLEBoRo, May 13-Edwin Perry, Of
the Perryville Manufacturing Company
Of Rehoboth, is missing and the last time
he was heard from it was believed he had
in his possession about $1,000 which he
had just taken from a Providence bank.
About year ago the firm, which con-
sists of Charles and Edwin Perry, failed
with liabilities 50 large that they were
unable to offer their creditors more
than 25 cents on the dollar. All
but one creditor, Providence bank,
which held some Of the firms paper, ac-
cepted the offer, and the assignee exc
cuted a mortgage on the property, by
which he raised the sum of &, 900, which
he deposited in Providence.
The bank which had refused to accept,
hearing of the existence of the money,
placed an injunction on it.
Soon after this the assignee died. and
siuce then the affairs of the firm have
been somewhat tangled.
Not long ago Edwin Perry commenced
running the place again and seemed to
be prospering. Tuesday he started for
Providence where it is believed that he
got quite large sum of money, and
since then no one can learn of his wherea-
bouts.

PRETTY PLAIN SPEECH.
Parkhursi Talks About the Tammany-
Ridden City.
BYRNFs HANDS ARE TIED.
The President OF the Society for the Pre-
vention of Crime Talks Right Out In
Meeting and Handles the Police De-
partment without Gloves.

NEW YORK, May 13.-The Rev. DIR.
Parkhurst has little faith in much good
being accomplished by the recent changes
made in the police department, nor does
he believe that Supt Byrnes will be any
more successful than his predecessor in
putting down crime in this city so long as
Tammany rules the roost.
He made statement to this effect in
Scottish Rite Hall. Twenty-ninth street
and Fifth avenue, last night before an au
dience Of over 700 young men, who gath
cred to hear him discuss "What Can We
DO as Young Men TO Make New York a
Better Cityin
II wonder" he said, ''if you have
watched two or three things that have oc-
Cured lately. II is perfectly evident that
our police department stands in vicious
league with our criminal classes. Close
the gambling room, shut up the saloons,
do away with the brothels. and Tam
many's exchequer will become empty.
During one or my recent nocturnal
visits with my friends l found police
man standing at the foot OF the stairs
leading up to the temple of Venus. After
we had been in the house short time the
door bell rang and one of the men who
was with me heard the conversation at
the door. 1t was the policeman. who was
taking care of the house. IL is the police
department that make such crimes possi-
BILE.
"A few nights ago there was raid
down in the lower part OF the town, and
it looked as though the police department
new broom was going TO sweep clean.
Only four houses were raided, and yet on
that same street are twenty-one houses of
prostitution.
Last night there was a raid on the
gambling rooms in the Tenderloin pre-
cinct. There is nothing so clean as q
gambling house Is just before a raid.
One of these warrants was for Days
gambling rooms. Last night just about
the time of the raid gentle was in
my house talking with me.
''He had gone to Days earlv that even
ing and the darkey who was on guard at
the door told him that the place was
closed. The darkey told the man where
he could 20, and the man went and lost
what money he had with him. That
place was not raided last night with the
other places.
/" 1t is necessary that the city of New
York must be born again. 1t will remain
corrupt until that devil of Tammany has
been cast out"
