Michael Wheelahan, an old resident
of Waterbury, whose home was at 10
Summit street, was killed at the South
Riverside street crossing of the New
England railroad about o'clock yester-
day afternoon. He had been visiting on
Railroad Hill and was on his way home
at the time the accident occurred.
AT the crossing the angle made
by the intersection of the rail-
and person might walk along several
yards going towards Bank street with
out noticing a train coming from the
west. This was no doubt the case with
Mr. Wheelahan, as an engine and three
cars were backing down from the Meri-
den junction. The engineer noticed the
man nearing the crossing and whistled,
but the warning was not needed. The
engine had been reversed, but could not
be stopped before the man was
struck, thrown several feet forward
and the tender of the engine had passed
on over his body. It was badly
mangled, the skull was crushed in
several places and death was instanta-
neous.

remains, after which they were placed

tBy the Associated Press.

lBy the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 2S-A deputation from
the unemployed were introduced today
to Gladstone at his official residence by
Prof. James Stuart. The deputation
urged that light railways, similar to
those in use and under course of con-
struction in Ireland, be built bv the
government, 10 order to give mploy-
ment to many people now badly in need
OF work. and that vestries be furnished
with sufficient financial assistance to
enable them to deal with the unem-
ployed people OF the city. Gladstone
said he had the fullest sympathy for the
unemployed. The distress caused by
want of work was not confined to Lon
don or Great Britain, but existed
with greater intensity in other countries.
The deputation appeared sanguine of
almost omnipotence of the government,
but the latter could not go beyond it's
limits. Gladstone was in favor of the
government becoming proprietors of rail-
ways in order to control railway rates,
bnt the commission which had the mat
ter in charge had decided against it.
Regarding the suggestion SIS to the treat
ment of refuse, and thereby finding work
for unemployed, Gladstone said expert
ments already made in that direction
had not proved success, but the gov
ernment would further consider the
question. The government, however.
could promise nothing beyond full in
quiry into all practical suggestions.

Shields and McKinstry in Danger ol
Getting Left.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 28.-F. Alleyne
Orr, attorney for Patrick Shields and
Andrew McKinstry. sailors on the
American steamer Keewenaw, who were
brutally beaten by Chilean police in
valparaiso during the Baltimore riot in
1891. has received notice that the Chill
can government will contest the effort
to have the claims of Shields and Nc
Kinstry for damages settled by the arbi-
tration committee appointed under the
treaty to settle the question of damages
to American citizens, on the ground that
Shields and Mckinetry are not American
citizens.
Minister Egan. while negotiating with
the Chilean government for the treaty
Of 1892, under which the claims for dam
ages were to be settled by an arbitra-
tion commission, reported to Secretary
OF State Foster that he had asked if it
would be necessary to insert special
clause in the convention to include this
case. Egan says: "The minister and
also the eub-secretary of the ministry of
foreign relations assured me that it was
necessary; that no question would be
raised on this point, and that the rights
Of Shields as an American citizen will be
admitted by Chile before the arbitration
tribunal"
Shields claim was for $100, 900 and
McKinstry's for $4,000. Considering
these statements of the Chilean officials
to Minister Egan, the action of the
Chilean government at this late day in
entering the plea that Shields was hot
an American citizen, and therefore can
not come before the arbitration commis-
sion, has caused great surprise here.

Faulty Construction OF the British Bat
tleship Resolution.
LONDON, Dec. 28.-Admiral De Horsey
sends to the Times letter received
from an officer on board the British
battleship Resolution, describing her
fearful experience during a gale in the
bay of Biscay. Even in moderate
weather the Resolution rolled 45 degrees
each way. She steamed owly, keep
ing her head to the sea, knowing any
deviation would break down the engines
and capsize the ship. The next day the
gale not modersting and the coal run
ming short, she dared not turn for fear
of going over, but on the afternoon of
December 2lst, the weather allow ed an
alteration of her course and the vessel
was able to make for Queenstown. Every
man on board felt thoroughly unsafe.
Commenting upon the letter, Admiral
DeHorsey said nothing is an excuse for
the new iron ships. which are construct
lively weak and become dangerously
strained and leaky in one gale.
In the commons today, the secretary
to the admiralty, replying to uestion,
said the structure of the Resolution
WAS not damaged and the cost of re-
pairs would only bel $3.50.

in view only the preservation and man

as would in the qui ickest time
place the company on its feet. The
management has not in the least degree
tried to influence the action of the re-

corning the Wisconsin Central lease as
an illustration of this. The insinuation
that the receivers are incompetent

communities. He asserted that Oakes
