BAD. ROAD WRECK.

COLUMBUS, O., March 6-The Pennsyl-
vania railroad special No. 20, which ar
rived at Columbus at $40 o'clock and left
at S:20 o'clock. met with an accident at
Reed avenue crossing. about two miles
east Of the city, at about $50 o'clock. The
train had Just passed a tower at.a rate
estimated to be about twenty miles an
hour. when the last sleeper jumped the
track and was thrown against target,
being practically smashed into kindling
wood. The force and weight of the sleeper
leaving the track pulled the other cars OF
and the whole train Was deralied, but none
of the cars turned over. At the time the
train passed the tower the crew of a yard
engine was IN the tower waiting to begin
work. The fireman of this crew, John Nc
Cormick, was badly hurt; Fireman James
jenkins and Yardmaster Bert Woodward
were also badly injured. Bert Cooper. the
telegraph operator. was badly hurt; NJ. L.
Wilson, car inspector, badly hurt: c. G.
H.. Bell. brakeman, injured; all OF
Columbus
A telegraph pole standing near the tower
was broken off by the force of the sleeper
when it jumped the track and one end OF
it ran through the sleeper. This aided in
the destruction of the sleeper and placed
the passengers in a most perilous position.
The car was well filled aud only few bad
retired for the night. The greatest excite
ment prevailed as the passengers were i'm
prisoned in the car and the work of rescue
was inaugurated. Assistance was promptly
called from the Panhandle yarl near by,
and the police patrols and ambuiances
that responded all aided in the work. The
latest Information from the scene of the
wreck is that all have been taken Out OF
the sleepers and it has not been discovered
that any of the passengers are seriously
injured, although many of them have suf-
eled cuts and bruises and severe shocks.

WORK OF A CRANK.
Market Gambler Clay Attempts to Shoos
an Operator.

MINNEAPOLIS, March Ga scene OF the
widest excitement aud terror was enacted
this afternoon in the rooms Of the Com
mercial Commission company. On the first
floor of the Guaranty Loan building, when
Attorney B. B. Clay, who has been oper-
ating somewhat extensively, became
greatly excited and pulled revolver upon
Manager Clark of the company and
threatened to shoot him. 1t was just as
the market was closing and the last re-
port being received. Manager Clark was
seated at his desk and his assistant, Mr.
Littlefield, seated near him. Clay had
been buying and selling, first in one de-
partment aud in another, and things did
not 60 to suit him. He believed that he
was losing heavily. Just before the mar
ket closed Sugar went up 12 points, which
seemed to be the straw which broke the
camel's back, for Clay became suddenly en-
ragged, and drawing huge loaded revolver,
he rushed up to Manager Clark and de-
manded settlement of the money which
he thought was due him from the trans
action. Mr.. Clark informed Clay that he
was entitled To no money, whereupon Clay
cooked the gun and went step nearer
Clark. The latter now became thoroughly
frightened, and thinking discretion the
better part of vaior, told the infuriated
man that be would give him a check for
the 500. Clark turned to go into the
vault for the check book, Clay following
closely. Clark suddenly started into the
vault and slammed the door behind him
Clay then turned toward Mr.. Littlefield
and showed the cooked revolver within SIX
inches of his face. Clay turned and called
to a companion to close the doors
and the latter obeyed. but not be-
fore the frightened crowd had plenty
of time to get out of the way
of bullets which were likely to be turned
loose. Clay did not offer to shoot Mr..
Littleielu, and after moment quilted
the place and was not seen afterward.
The police were notified and are investi
eating the affair.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The president
reached the White House at las this aft
ernoon. after nine days trip through the
North Carolina sounds. looking as we'll
and strong as at any time since he first
came to Washington nine years ago. His
ruddy face showed unmistakeable signs of
exposure to the sun and wind during his
trip, and his step was noticeably more
elastic than when he went away
To some friends who called this
afternoon the president said he
had never in his life had u
more enjoyable hunting trip. Every min
ute il had been delight to him, aud as
for substantial results he asked his friends
to look at his bronZed face and hands and
then at the pile of swan, wild geese aud
turkeys that he had brought back with
him. After luncheon the president ap-
piled himself to work in his office, and
later received calls from Secretaries Car

NEW YORK, March 6-The report that
Arthur A. Zimmerman contemplates join
ing the professional ranks is true. In u
talk today the American champion said:
Il am now awaiting news from England
in relation to match race for u big
purse"
The man whom Zimmerman's friends
are anxiously trying to arrange match
race for $500 prize is W. |. Harris.
Since OSnond's retirement from active
participation in racing matters Harris
has been the acknowledged champion OF
England. Zimmerman says that If lie can
arrange match with any rider in this
country or Europe for purse OF s., 600 or
600 he Is willing to become profess
sionai, but he will hardly consider the
matter for any less money.
A review of the action OF the l.. A. w.
assembly shows that, great rs the organi-
cation Is, il is not able to cope with The
question of professionalism nor keep the
sport free from taint. A weli-known
racing man of this city, who had been cast
out for professionalism which bad been
proven Che having not only declared his
intentions to race for cash, but had
actually applied for aud obtained license
to race under n. G. A. rules. had been re-
insrated and declared eligible to
race not only with the hired racing
men of the league in class b. but
as simon pure amateur OF class
A. Speed is a marketable quantity now
adays, and the L. A. W., might as we'll
bid the ocean to roll back AS to keep out of
competition fast racing men. The manu-
facturers are likely soon to force profess
sionaiism from under the class B covering
Of the L. A. W., and bring it out into the
open, as is being done in England, where
it now promises to be leading factor.
The l.. a. W., had grand opportunity to
aid the n. G. A., in maintaining honest
professionalism by casting the tainted
professionals from it's ranks aud maintain
ing amateurism pure and free or else TAX
ing the professionals under its care and
keeping them honest. But it did not avail
itself Of the chance

ABOLISH THE OFFICE.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-According to
the report. Dockery of the joint COM
mission recommends, among other things,
the abolition Of the Office and buresu of
the commissioner OF customs. The ac-
counts of the government, aggregating
millions Of dollars, have not been audited
and il there has been no diversion of
public moneys to private uses, the fact is
due wholly to the integrity of collectors.
The loose manner of doing business, the
report says, has not been due to any in-
attention in the treasury department, bu5
is the result of existing laws governing
the auditing of the customs accounts
The Dockery commission will propose a
change of law by which commissions of
customs will pass out of existence and the
first auditor of the treasury will hereafter
audit all customs accounts

The resolution as adopted directs

date or restrain the employees of the North

of the labor organization with which said
employees or any of them were affiliated, in
the exercise of their rights and privileges
under the law of the United States. and II
