Two caisson accidents took place dur

from the caisson and the water rushed

The second caisson accident resulted
from the foolhardiness OF the foreman
in tho management OF the structure and
caused the death OF seven men.

A bitter feeling existed between the

rough and tumble fight. They fought
all over the stage, wrecking the scenery
and clawing each other like animals.
The police then interfered, but it was
some time before they could part the
men and it was finally necessary to
handcuif them. They were taken to

Both men were terribly punished.
Their arrest created great excitement

DUNKIRk, N. Y, Dec. 15.-About
seven o'clock tonight a wreck on the
New York and Pennsylvania railroad,
about six miles north of here, resulting
in the loss OF three lives and the injury
of others. The west-bound passenger
train that leaves Buffalo at $50
p. m. ran over trestle near
Sheridan crossing, which had been
weakened by to-day's floods, incident
to the heavy rains. The trestle bore
up when the engine passed over, but
succumbed directly after, precipitating
the tender, baggage car and smoker
into the creek. The other cars crowded
them down and helped to crush them
and their occupants. Fortunately the
wreck did not catch fire, and the pas
sengers were all rescued alive but one.
Two OF the crew were killed.

CHICAGO Dec. l5.-American Fedora
ton OF Labor delegates refused to-day
to permit Mayor Swift to address thcm.
There was considerable opposition to
the action on the ground that inasmuch
as Governor Altgeld had been invited
to speak, the same courtesy sheuld be
extended to Mr.. Swift.
BY vote of the convention it was de-
cided that the executive council has not
the power to settle disputes among local
organizations. 1t was then announced
that after noon the session would be de-
voted to the election of officers. A
strong fight was expected, as John
Mcbride, of tho Ohio miners union,
was candidate for President Gompers's
place and John j. Lincoln, OF Chicago,
was prominently mentioned as sue
cessor to Secretary Chris Evans.
President Gompers in an interview
said that there was nothing in the claim
made by some of the delegates that the
invitation to Governor Altgeld was q
concession to the anarchist element OF
the Federation and was made because
the governor had pardoned the an
archists.
Delegate "Tommy" Morgan, OF Chica-
90, was OF a different opinion. He said:
"Goyernor Altgeld's case was made an
exception. 1t is true that the reason he
was invited was because he pardoned
the anarchists"
Late in the day, however, the govern
or sent word that he would be unable to
address the meeting. The election OF
officers will be held tomorrow morning.
