Suburban Handicap Of '03 q Great
Disappointment.
NEW YORK, June 21.-The Suburban
Handicap of 1898, the tenth in the his
tory of the event, was most grievous
disappointment to the turf-loving pub
lie. Lamplighter, their idol, who was
looked upon as sure victor in the
great race, was destined to fall from
the high pedestal upon which he had
been placed and the halo that had been
gathered about him on account Of his
numerous victories was completely dis
PEELED. He was vanquished strictly on
his merits, as the race was true run
from beginning to end. Lowlander, q
horse that has had rather an erratic ca
reer, won the race from end to end. He
went out at the fall of the flag, set the
pace to suit himself and won almost as
he pleased in the fast time Of 200 "a.
Terrifer, Father Bill Davis candidate,
was second, three-quarters of q length
away, while Lamplighter, the even
money favorite that shrewd turfmen
said could not lose, was third, four
lengths back.

How 1t Happened.
The accident happened on what is
known as the Bay Ridge division of the
Manhattan railroad, and about half a
mile from the little town of Parkville,
which is at the junction of the roads
running to Coney Island and Manhat-
tan Beach and Sheepshead Bay. The
Bay Ridge division, after leaving the
town of Parkville, passes under via
duct of the Coney Island boulevard.
The fatal train reached this point of
the road at 9 o'clock. 1t had left
Sheepshead Bay race track at 5:45. The
crowd aboard were men, women and
children who had been to witness the
Suburban. The train consisted of 10
cars, the front and rear cars being
closed and the remainder open. Every
seat was taken and men stood in the
aisles of the closed cars and shoulder to
shoulder upon the platforms running
along the sides of the open cars.
Quick Change of Scenes.
The crowd on the train was good
natured and everybody seemed merry.
Suddenly, while going at full speed, the
train gave jerk and jolt and the ex-
pressions of pleasure were instantly
turned to terror and dismay. The en-
CINE and the first two cars ran along
upon the track, dragging behind them
the other cars of the train, humping
and rolling along the ties up to the
very mouth Of the tunnel. Then the
engine and the two cars that remained
on the track broke loose from the 9TH
ers, and were carried by their own
speed clear through the tunnel and rs
feet beyond. The other part of the
train pulled apart, the first dragging
itself half way through the tunnel. No
one knew what had happened, so
quickly had the fatal accident occurred.
Women tainted and men became panic
stricken and trampled them and the
children under their feet in their mad
fight for safety. Cooler heads immedi-
ately began to render assistance and the
dead and wounded were gathered up
and stretched out upon the grass. One
hundred people thus found temporary
hospital, to be removed later to their
homes or to hospitals.

vited the railroad men to be present at
the opening session Of their congress-

condition that the bankers come to tho

made an audience large enough to COM

the opening session had been largely
concentrated upon the announcement
that the principal address would be de-

expected to make an important deliv-
erance concerning the present financial
conditions of the country, but the Ohio
statesman was absent and brief tele-

welcoming the delegates was assigned
