DUNRAVEN'S CHARGE.
Iselin VIII Demand an Investigation
by the Yacht Club.

| NEW YORK, Nov. lot was stated
tonight that G. Oliver Iselin will ask
! the New York Yacht Club tomorrow to
| take action on the charges that Lord
| Dunraven makes that the ballast of the
| Defender was tampered with at Erie
Basin In order to secure advantages in
time allowance.
Lord Dunraven may rest assured, -
said Mr.. Iselin, that his outrageous ac-
cusations will be thoroughly investi-
gated. I am not accustomed to being
placed in the light Of a thief, which is
the inference of Lord Dunraven's words.
Either he is telling an untruth in this
matter, or | am, and l shall demand that
| the New York Yacht Club find out which
of us is. After the New York Yacht Club
has announced it's decision, | shall de-
mand that it take action personally with
! Lord Dunraven to express the opinion
of the members of his conduct. l can
not tell just what course the club will
take, but presume that the investiga-
! tiOn will be in the form of regular
court of inquiry, and that witnesses will
/ be summoned from the crews Of the De-
| fender and Hattie Palmer. Some of the
Valkyrie's crew will be summoned
probably, if they can be found Lord
! DUnraven must substantiate his accu-
4
The assertion that the load water
/ line was lowered four inches by putting
in ballast is preposterous on the face Of
/ it. approximately it would require
/ fourteen to fifteen tons of load to dc
1 this. Now, does Lord Dunraven or any
! one else imagine that this weight Of oal-
| last could be taken on drays and put
aboard the Defender in the night with
/ out creating sensation in Erie basin ?
/ Of = h.
Valkyrie would of necessity become
aware Of such a transaction. 1 trus;
/ Lord Dunraven will send the person on
| persons who saw the ballast pa,
aboard to the inquiry. Their testi-
mony would be highly valuable"
when you characterize such accusa-
tions as Lord Dunraven's as those OF a
! liar and blackguard, that implies a
| challenge to a duel, does it not, Mr.
| Iselin?" was asked.
Yes" was the decided answer, land

For number of years Major Laing
has been paying attention to Mrs. Moore,
and that this was no secret is the fact
that almost every man and woman in
town knew it. Their relations were
open and notorious, and Moore himself
was well aware of it. Both Moore and
Major Laing were on friendly terms, at
least they were frequently seen to-
gether. For some time Major Laing had
been trying to break away from the
woman, and those who are familiar
with the situation say that this made
Moore angry.
The family of Major Laing returned
from Europe about two months ago,

a Locomotive Boiler.
VICTIMS OF THE ACCIDENT HURLED
IN ALL DIRECTIONS
The Force of the Explosion So Great

After Running on Down Grade

the Passengers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-A special dis
patch to the Recorder from Warwick,

up to-day and caused the death of four
men.
The dead are: Herbert Beetner, fire
man, Easton; William Cooper, en-
gineer, Philadelphia; Martin O'Neill,
conductor, Belvidere; James L. Sloan,
brakeman, Phillipsburg.
The force of the explosion was so
great that the boiler was thrown from
the trucks, but the latter remained on
the rails.
The train, consisting of thirty cars,
although it was running on a down
grade, was stopped by the brakemen,
but not until it had run fully a mile and
half
The victims of the accident were
hurled in all directions, their clothing
stripped from their bodies and the
tattered garments fell in branches OF
trees along the tracks, Were they re-
mained hanging.
The first body found was Cooper's.
It was piniOned under the shattered
boiler. He had been crushed to death
by the mass of iron and steel. O'Neill
had been blown on the rails and run
over by the train, his body cut to
pieces and otherwise horribly mutilated,
while Sloan was hanging unconscious
on a barb wire fence fifty feet away
He only lived a few minutes. dying in
great agony. Fireman Beetner was
blown out of the cab, and landed in an
open field twenty yards from the
scene of the explosion. His coat, vest
and shirt were torn from his back, and
when found by the rescuing party he
was wandering in a dazed condition.

they came TO this city. Captain Davis of
the Puritan and his crew are aboard the

OFT or there is no chance of saving the
vessel. The former result is confidently
hoped for. All the freight on the Puritan
was taken off to-day and forwarded to
Stonington for shipment to destination.
at high tide last night tugs tried to
move the Puritan, but she would not stir
an inch. The steamers condition was
improved somewhat by running big
anchors off the boat, so they can be
"heaved" on aud the steamer kept from
swinging further ln-shora. The sea
pounds her at the stern and lashes her
sides.
Captain Scott and Superintendent
Gardiner were interviewed by your cor
respondent tonight. Both said they
hoped and expected that the Puritan
would be got OFT, if good tide favored,
tomorrow, when SCOTS and the Chap
man Wrecking Company tugs and the
most powerful tugs the Merritt Wreck
ing Company can furnish will be on
hand. 1t will be high tide at O'clock
Monday morning, but nothing can be
done then, SO the flood tide must be
waited for. Whom il comes 1t may de-
eide the fate of one of the most expensive
steamers ever run on Long Island Sound.
The wind tonight is from the north
west, but has not attained a velocity
that will lessen the chances OF saving the

ternational Relations in Central and
South America" The prominent posi-
tion occupied by the speaker for so
many years in the Senate, coupled with
the present difficulty over the boundary
between Venezuela and British
Guiana, added more than the usual in
terest to such a discussion. On a map
which hung alongside the Speakers
platform Senator Edmunds pointed out
the possessions of Great Britain, which
encircled the globe This great expan-
sion, he said, was not a conquest CT
blood, but of trade, business and Eng
lish civilization
He then gave a history of the origin
of the Monroe doctrine. THAT doc
trine declared he said, that we would
not look with unconcern (Which in my
Vermont dialect means we would not
tolerate) the interference of any foreign
power with respect to the autonomy or
existence of the American republics.
That was the Monroe doctrine and it
stood as a standing menace to all fer
eign countries from that time to this"
Edmunds called attention to the way
British claims had grown from almost
nothing to 1000 square miles. In Brit
ish Guinea in 1851 their claims in
cluded only a few towns, with no bound
ary at all given on the border toward
Venezuela. In 1870 this small claim
had grown to 10000 square miles. THAT
is British expansion" he added, but 1
hope and believe that the President and
his Secretary of State will not let Vene
Zuela be squeezed out of the mouth of
the Orinocco. l hope the President will
see that all of our southern neighbors
are protected in their just rights
Edmunds also urged the great advan-
tages of the Nicaragua Canal under
American control. After referring to
many matters to be considered when
discussing annexation of Cuba, for in
stance he paid a compliment to Presi-
dent Cleveland, saying that no Presi-
dent had ever been found lacking in pa
