ENGINEER JEFFREY's PREMONlTloN.

It Prevented the Wreck of His Train,
Crowded With Passengers.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, July 8. 1S93.-An at
temptt 60 wreck train No. 2 GU the Great
Western Railroad, between Kenyon and
Dodge Centre, near the Iowa line, was
reported by passenger who got off here
early yesterday morning. The premoni-
tion of the engineer alone appears to have
prevented an appalling loss OF life. The
train left st. Paul at 730 Saturday even
ing for Chicago and consisted of four
Pullman sleepers, two chair coaches, q
smoker aud mail car.
Engineer Jeffrsys believed something
was wrong. and although his train was
Increase the fires. When the train neared
the long trestle-work four miles the
other side Of Dodge Center the engineer
closed down the valve, and that strange
act OF prescience probably saved score
of lives.
A furlong from the trestle the engine
struck great pile of ties on the track,
but the crowded cars kept on the rail.
Most Of the passengers in the sleepers had
retired, but j. was found that beyond
scratches and bruises none had been
severely injured. The front of the engine
was smashed in. but after the track was
cleared was able to haul the train into
Dodge Centre, where another engine was
telegraphed for.
The attempt to wreck the train was
evidently the work of covices, but wnat
motive they would have had outside of
robbing the dead OF valuabIes and money
after tne train had been ditched remains
only a conjecture.
It was little short of miracle that the
plan did not 90 through. The ties, three
in number, were tied to the track with
strong ropes. but IN such manner that
when struck by the engine they slipped
on In front of the wheels.

Detective Larkins Goes to Trenton In
Search of a Bad Man.
Detective Larkins. of the Sixth pre-
cinct. spent Saturday in Trenton. and
secured the town for blackmaier and
forger whom he has reason to suppose
had flown from Jersey City to the State
capital. The man he was after was
named Powell Jaspers, who once lived
&C the Heights. Last February Jasper
passed spurious check upon
Herman Castens to the extent of S215.
aud also secured $165 from Ferdinand
Abrecht, who supposed that the check
which Jaspers presented was good.
Both of Jaspers' Victims have stores on
Central avenue When it was discov-
cred that the checks were worthless, and
that the men had been victimized. a
search was made for the forger. but he
could not be found. He had moved
away.
When Detective Larkins was entered
upon the police list, under Captain New
ton, he concluded TO search diligently for
Jaspers. On Friday last de-
spatch was received from Trenton
in response to letter sent to the
Chief Of Police In that city by Detective
Larkins, stating that man answering
to the description which Larkins gave
was held in che jail there.
Detective Larktns Immediately went to
Trenton, but was disappointed in findi ng
that the prisoner was not his prey. He
thinks he has a clue now, however /, and
says ne will work 1t.

Special 10 The JERSEY Citg Ne'ss.
NEWARK, July 3. 1893 Senators Nc
Pherson and Smith have abandoned
their contemplated European trip be-
cause OF the extra session Of Congress
called by President Cleveland. Senator
Smith was to have sailed July 15 and
had engaged a stateroom, but has can
celed the engagement. Senator McPher-
son wns to have sailed for Europe last
Saturday, but after being informed by
Senator Smith of the Presidents inten-
tion of calling an extra session, he also
decided not TO go abroad.
The junior Senator, In an interview
with a reporter yesterday about the extra
session and what it would probably do,
began By saying that the President had
acted very wisely in issuing the proclama-
tiop. and then went on:-
''irhe condition of the financial and
business interests OF the country is such
that nothing should be left undone to
restore confidence and place our business
aud financial institutions on sound and
prosperous footing. We were this week
apparently on The verge of a panic such
as this country never before experienced.
1t was, fortunately, averted by provident
measures.
Financial stringency means the clos
ing down of our manufacturing indus

new Industries. The conseq uence. of
course, would De the throwing of our
mechanics and laboriDg men out of en-
ployment, The President understood
this. and in the calling of an extra session
earlier than was expected he was actuated
more by this consideration than by any
other.
"As to the repeal of the Sherman law.
we must meet before definitely knowing
whether thet will he done. | don't think
there is aug douot of its repeal. There
can be no question but that this law Is
largely the cause of the present i'll finan-
cial and business condition. There is
lack of confidence in financial and busi-
ness circles because Of the enforced pur-
chase of silver By the Government.
Europe has sent back many millions Of
our securities owing to the fear that they
might be paid in silver instead OF gold.
"The repeal of the Sherman law will be
the first matter given attention at the
extra session. After that other measures
for relief, such as the repeal of the State
banks, may be taken. But the first and
important thing is TO eradicate the Sher-
man law. When our country stands in
the sound financial condition as England
and France theu. 1t may be possible to
make an international agreement as TO
some standard for parity of the precious
metal. There is no possibility OF such an
agreement now. l think that with the
appeal of the Sherman act the fnterna-
tional monetary conference might be re-
newed aud produce some results, and
propose some practical solution of the
whole question"

and uuswerying friend of silver Is well
known, and his democracy is unques-
toned. When a Speaker is reelected it
has generally been his custom TO re-

TRYON'S FATAL ERROR.
Private Letters Confirm the Details
Of the American Newspapers.
By Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, July 8, ls93.-All the newspa-
pers today publish long editorials on the
subject of the Victoria disaster. and all
of them warn the public to suspend
Judgment on the matter until the result
of the court martial, to be held in the
case. shall have been known. The news
papers admit that Vice Admiral Tryon
blundsred in giving the order he did for
the inGnoeuvre that led to the accident.
and state that he further blundered
when he signalled to the vessels of the
squadron not to lower their boats, which
they were upon the point of doing for
the purpose OF going to the rescue OF
those on the Victoria.
Some of the writer's attribute the Vice
Admiral's error to the fact that he WAS
just recovering from an attack of sick
ness.
The relatives OF the survivors are get
ting letters. in which the story of the
disaster as told in these dispatches is
repeated with little variation. Some OF
the survivors HUT that Vice-Admiral
Tryon realized the blunder when TOO late
and did not afterward dare to live.
Amid the general blame OF the Vice
Admiral many comments are made upon
the conduct of other officers In obeyine
an order that was certain to result In col
lision between the ships. A rule in force
in the navy provides that subordinate
is not bound 60 obey an order from Q
superior officer If the execution of the
order Is certain to involve accident. With
this rule in view some of the papers rather
severely comment upon this action
or Rear Admiral Markham, who in his
own dispatches shows that he was fully
aware OF the danger attendant upon tn .
man9uvre ordered from the flagship. As
matter Of fact. however, the responsi.
bility for the disaster cannot be pla ced
until court martial hears the evidence
and renders It's decision.
