ACCIDENT ON TIKI" IT,"
Car Axle Broke on a Third Avenue
Train Near Chatham Square.
Trains Stalled from City Hall 10
Forty-second Street.
It Was Engine No. 10, Oct. 10 and
Occurred at S.18 O'Clock.

The proverbially unlucky number /.
figured prominently in an accident which
occurred on the Third avenue IL" 30
feet south of Chatham Square station a
S13 o'clock this morning.
The sceptical will. of course. deride 1t
but it will be a hard matter to convince
the superstitious that when a train
drawn by engine 10, breaks down at L
minutes past o'clock. on Oct. 10, Their,
Is nothing In It.
Engine l3. with its train. including car
No. 800, having on board probably 30(
passengers. was bowling up grade wher
rumbling sound was heard and the
occupants of car No. sos were kept bob
bling about in their seats like kernels OF
corn in a pepper.
outside of a lot OF frightened passen'
gers, and a shake-up all around, nc
harm was done. and the passengers got
out and ill-humoredly trudged up tc
Chatham Square
There was a flaw in the axle of one
OF the rear trucks of car No. sos. The
axle broke, the wheels left the track
and but for the heavy wooden guard
rail, the car would have undoubtedly
been precipitated into the street, fifty
| feet below.
Within 10 minutes the uptown tract
contained an almost solid line OF car!
from Chatham Square to Forty-secont
| street.
The greatest confusion prevailed a
the Chatham Square station. AS rap
| idly as possible the south-bound trains
| City Hall or otherwise, were sent to thu
| South Ferry. The guards and gatemer
| had almost to fight with the passenger:
to convince them that they were on 1
South Ferry train.
The -Hall-bound passengers wer,
the most Inconvenience. A shuttle
| train was run between City Hall sta
| ton and Chatham Square, but 1t wa.
| too slow to accommodate the thous
ands of anxious ones who were i'm
| atient to get to business.
| BY o'clock the derailed car wa,
bolstered up, the broken truck removed
and the train was slowly moved
| towards City Hall. Confident that thu
trouble was about at an end. trair
was moved up towards the Chatham
| Square station.
But car No. sos had proceeded hut
| few rods when 1t broke down again.
| In the mean time the City Hal
| shuttle" was stalled half way between
| Chatham Square and City Hall. and tn
| passengers were Obliged 10 alight an
walk down the trestle.
| 1t will require nearly all day to &c
the trains back to the reg ular schedule

Mr.. HILL IN A PANIC.

Train the Cause.
When He Found II Quiet Was Re-
stored In the Car.
Here's an Interesting Story as to
His Intentions II Elected.

Senator David B. Hill came to town
again to-day and put up In room POI or
the Park Avenue Hotel. only a few steps
from Democratic headquarters In the
sans building.
1t Is expected that he will have a talk
with w. r. Grace before he leaves the
city, and ask the latter to use what
ever influence he has with Anti-Snap.
pers up the State In an effort to get
them to come out strong for the State
ticket. The United States Senatorship
which would be made vacant by the
election OF Mr.. Hill as Governor, may
also he touched upon, as Mr.. Grace Ia
believed to be deeply interested in that
subject Just now.
among the curious stories that have
become current about Mr.. Hill there is
very interesting one that. 1t is hard to
trace to Its source. This Ia, in effect. a
statement that Mr.. Hill, II elected Gov
ernor. intends to resign that office to
Daniel N. Lockwood, and remain in the
United States Senate himself. His term
expires In the Presidential year, and.
according to the interesting story re-
ferred to. he will then make strong effort
to secure the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency, Just how his ambition
Is 10 be furthered by resigning the Gov
ernorship II elected Is not explained by
the originator OF the story.
Senator Hill was very much worried
by an incident that occurred on his
trip down from Kingston last night.
and the incident shows that Mr.. Hill
Is not little superstitious.
The Senator has an old gray travelling
cap that he regards as q mascot. He
has worn II for six years on his travels.
Just after leaving Kingston. he looked
for this cap. but could not find It. He
grew nervous. and called Private Score.
tary Luckett to help him search for IT,
The antics OF the pair almost caused a
panic In the car.
Finally the Senator put his hand in
his coat pocket, and there, crumpled up
between newspapers. found the precious
cap.
With sigh OF relief he placed the
cap upon his head and sank back in
his seat to think up another speech.
Secretary Luckett was busy for two
hours explaining to the other passen-
gers in the car that the Senator
strange actions were due to a fear that
he had lost his thinking cap.
Mr.. Hill declined TO see reporters after
his arrival at the hotel, but his pro-
gramme for the coming week was given
out by Secretary Luokett. as follows
Monday night the Senator will speak
In klngstoni Tuesday afternoon, In Lit
tie Fails; Wednesday night. In Giovers-
Friday night. IN Buffalo. and sspaTGay
night in some town In the Western
part Of the State. He was to have

Fights Before.

BUFFALO,. N. Y, oct. 1S.-Champion
Corbett said this morning. when he
had read the dispatches about Gov.
Mitchell's opposition to fight taking
place in Florida:
IAN this talk is the same as that
which preceded my match with Mitch
ell last January. I have no inside in
formation in regard to what arrange
ments have been MADE to pull Oft the
fight at Jacksonville, but according to
the articles, the Florida Athletic Club
will have to post the entire purse sew
era months before the date of the match
and they are not likely to throw their
money away.
I'm the event that the fight is pre-
vented In Florida, I'll go to New Or
leans. ! am going to fight Fitzsimmons,
and am perfectly willing to go where I
can do so without Interference. There'll
be a meeting, even If 1t is for a SIS

DUNRAVEN WILL CHALLENGE.
He Has Decided to Build Again
for the Americas Cup.
The New Craft VIII Probably BE
About the Size of Britannia.

tBy Associdteu fTesa)
LONDON, oct. 13.-The Field says that
Lord Dunraven has practically decided
to build a new challenger for the Ameri-
cas- Cup. 1t will be a cutter the size OF
the Britannia or a trfie longer. The
paper adds
This perhaps, under the circumstan-
ces, is the best decision. as we have no
yachts that 70-footer could fairly be
tried against. We understand that Lord
Dunraven has not communicated with
the New York Yacht Club yet. but the
conditions that ruled last years matches
will probably prevail"
The zach, Racing Association met yes
terday and discussed questions of rating
including the possibility OF common in
ternational rating. The discussion was
adjourned for week.
When Mr.. II. Maitland Kersey, the
agent of the White Star line and Lord
Dunraven's close friend and represen-
tative in this country, was shown n copy
of the above despatch this morning, he
said:
erence would probably be for smaller
craft, / believe this report Is correct
OF course, the dimensions of the boat
would not be made public til a challenge
had been issued and mailed to New York
Yacht Club
"Still you believe there is no doubt
that Lord Dunraven Is building some
sort of yacht to compete against Ameri-
can boats next Year," Mr.. kersey was
asked.
"Well,'' replied he, II have not heard
from Lord Dunraven very lately, but
What size do you think the new
boat will be?'
Doubtless Gen. Paine would like to
have Il trial of Jubilee against an Eng
lish boat, and as Mr.. Walker is build
ing an S0-rater on the other Side 1t Is
likely Lord Dunraven will haze his
latest venture of about the same size"

A FATAL CUTTING SCRAPE.
Two Fourteen Year Old Boys at The New
berry Cotton Mills Had A Quarrel and
One Knife's the Other.

A cutting scrape took place at the
Newberry Cotton Mills On Monday
afternoon just after the Mill had shut
down for the day. Olin Osborne and
Rufus Boozer had some words and
as result Osborne plunged bis knife
into the breast Of Boozer about three
inches deep. Just what the quarrel
was about we have been unable to
learn definitely, though there are
conflicting rumors. The case will be
investigated in the courts and the
evidence will all come out there. The
boys are only about fourteen years
old.
The difficulty took place inside the
Mill yards as they were going home
from their work. They both worked
in the Mill.
Boozer is pretty badly stabbed as
will be seen from the statement OF Dr.
Mcintosh given 5e!ow.
A warrant has been taken out for
Osborne before Justice Evans charging
him (Osborne) with assault and battery
with intent to kill. The case was
called yesterday morning, but owing
to the critical condition of Boozer 1t
was continued until to-day. In the
meantime young Osborne is in Jail.
The State was represented yesterday
by Solicitor Schumpert and Osborne
by Col. Geo. Johnstone. The following
certificate or statement was read from
DR.. Mcintosh, the attending physician,
and on the motion of Mr.. Schumpert
the case was continued until to-day!
"Col. o. L. Schumbert, Solicitor.
MY Dear Colonel:-The boy, Rufus
Boozer, is very dangerously wounded
