WILL BE INSANE
1t is Feared that the Only Witness of th'
Wreck VIII Not Recover His Reason.

Wreck Will Not Recover His Reason.
Greenville Junction, July 3l-The conclu-
sion is being gradually forced upon the at
| tendants and friends of Angus Mcdonald,
the fireman Of the engine which drew the
| fated train, which plunged to destruction
| on that July morning a few weeks ago, and
who is,the only survivor of the four men
| who.rode thereon, that even a worse fate
is in store for him than the terrible one
which his companions met.
There is more than a possibility that Nc
Donald's right mind may never return.
Within a few hours after the wounded
fireman, insensible from the effects of the
terrible leap for life which he made, was
placed under medical care at Moosehead
inn. he began to recover his physical health.
His physical convalescence has continued
from that stime.to this. until within few
days he has been able to walk about his
room, but from the time he recovered from
the insensibility, he has not had even
brief interval when his mind was his own
or when he could talk on any subject in
telligibly, or recognize any of those about
him. His physicians anticipated the
possibility of temporary insanity even
after he recovered consciousness, but sup
poseo with the Improvement of MS physical
condition his mind would gradually come
back to him, but SO far this does not prove
to be SO, and the state of the mans mind
more than puzzles them.
The report of the railroad commissioners
is still held back, awaiting the tireman's
recovery, and the solution of the mystery
nowsrests entirely upon the testimony as to
why he Jumped from his engine, but if the
apprehensions mentioned are not ground
less, the prospects of any further informa-
tion upon the point are notsof the best.
Contrary to the intention when the rail-
road commissioners hearing ended. Nc
Donald was not removed from this place
with the other wounded, but has remained
here ever since under the care of the road
physicians. Next week, however. it is the
plan sto have him taken to Montreal. where
he will receive the best medical attendance
it is possible to procure in that city.

wHITEWAsHINo SENATORS.
The Committee Exoneratcs Senator Cam
den of Sugar Fame.


Washington, July 31.-The investigating
committee today prepared report exoner-
ating Sentor Camden from the covert
allegation or insinuation that he had bought
500 shares of sugar stock during the
tendency of the tariff bill. What Mr.. Cam
den said was based on the Photographic
copy in possession of the committee of an
order which he is alleged to have sent to
sugar broker. The so-called order for soc
shares of sugar was written across the back
of very much soiled envelope. Senator
Camden said the name signed was his, but
he denied ever having written such an or
der or placing it, and said that he knew
absolutely nothing about it. He made his
denial general, and said the order was
fictitious and fraudulent.
In view of this and absence of facts, and
of the.improbability that an order would be
sent in such form, and also because Of
Senator Camden's denial, the comm ittee
mas agreed to make ....a report generating
him. Senator Smith also appeared before
the committee today. The report of the CON-
mittee will. it is said, exonerate Senator
Smith.

SENATE WILL NOT YIELD
This Position on CoaP Iron and Sugar
Will be Maintained.

Washington, July Ex-senator Clones was
present this morning for only short time
at meeting of the tariff conferees. After
the conference, Senator Jones, in common
with other Seators. denied the accuracy of
the story sent out last night that the
Senate was weakening. Amy man who un-
derstands the situation in the Senate," said
Mr.. Jones, will see that is utterly i'm
possible for the Senate to yield lin this
matter. OF course, there will be CONCESSIONS
there always are; but in the three items,
coal, iron and sugar, over which there has
been so much conteption,s.it does not appear
clear to me, at least. how the Senate can
give way and then expect to pass the BILL"
This sentiment was endorsed by Senators
Smith and Conan. They further said they
have about settled the matter of iron ore
and coal. Iron will remain as fixed by the
Senate. Coal will also be put on the
dutiable list without any change in the rate
of duty, but it may be that the Senate will
permit an amendment which will be in the
line of reciprocity admitting Canadian coal
free, if the Dominion ADMITS the coal of this
country free.
