The Clothes Were Blown OF the Unfor-
tunate Trainmen Trainmen-A Fire
man Killed and Several Passen-
gers Injured in a Wreck.

Warwick, N. Y, Nov. 10.-Engine No
L3 of the Lehigh and Hudson railroad
blew up this morning eight miles from
this place. Two men were instantly kill
ed and two others have died from their
injuries.
Conductor Martin O'Neal and his head
brakeman, James l.. Stone of Philadel-
phia, were in the caboose when the train
started from the junction, with the en-
gineer, William Cooper of Phillipsburg
and his fireman, Herbert Beetner of Eas-
ton, Pa. The train of 80 cars had reach
ed the top of the grade near the stone
bridge, and as the train started downS
cold water was doubtless run into the
boiler.
Brakeman Norris Neal saw the expIoa-
sion that followed. The heavy boiler
went so feet in the air and fell 25 feet
from the tracks, leaving the engine
trucks uninjured. Neil threw himself
full length on the car and he and Flag
man Adams began setting the brakes.
The train mile and half before il
could be stopped. Neil ran six miles to
Warwick and gave the alarm, and Adams
went BACK to flag the Easton express.
Superintendent Bailey with a gang of
men went in an engine to the scene. A
terrible sight met their gaze. Conduc
tor O'Neil was crushed and mutilated al
most beyond recognition, the train hav-
ing passed over him. Stone hung uncon
scious on barbed wire fence, and En-
gineer Cooper lay dead under the boiler.
All were nearly naked, parts of their
clothing hanging in the trees near by
A little later Fireman Beetner was seena
walking along the track. He was dazef
and said he remembered going through
the air and found himself in field 80
| feet from the tracks. He soon relapsed
into Inconsistencies and was taken to-
Easton, where he died this afternoon.
Brakeman Stone died this morning.

PIuMBERS, STRIKE,

Pittsburg, Nov. 10.-The United
Plumbers association of the United
States and Canada has sanctioned n
movement which will probably result in
a stubborn fight between the master
plumbers and journeymen OF PittsDurg
and Allegheny.
The Plumbers union today passed reso-
buttons demanding Of their employers an
advance in wages of 10 per cent to take
effect at Z o'clock tomorrow morning
The members of the union have been In
structed to report for work in the morn
ing, present their demands, and II not
conceded to refuse to work.
The demand is for the restoration Of
the 10 per cent cut made in 1884. The
men claim to have made several requests
for this restoration without any satisfae-
ton being given them, hence this aeti0Ei
to strike without further notice.
The masters will resist the demand

ANNUAL POSTAL REPORT.

Washington, Nov. 10.-First Assistant
Postmaster Frank III. Jones has made his
annual report. Mr.. Jones shows that
the divisions under his supervision have
saved during the year, $1,395,577, the
principal items being in the saving in the
carrier service by stopping over time and
reduction of the force amounting to ST.,
100000. The salaries to all presidential
postmasters, amounting to $5,S97 200
and the gross receipts of postoffices were
$50, 53S,09
are 3491, of which 159 are first-class, zoe
second-class and 2632 third-class.
An estimate of 10000 for all post
masters is made for the year of 1897.
The total number of positions brought
within the classified service during the
year were 1853.
Mr.. Jones recommends the abolition
of experimental free delivery unless So,
100000 is appropriated for the purpose
also free rural delivery, unless $50, 600,
600 is appropriated. Of the investiga
ton and discharge of carriers for cause
Mr.. Jones says that 3S5 carriers have
been removed. He reviews the condi
tons which made the investigation neces
sary, the principal one being that the &C.
emulation of over time claims showed
something was wrong. The work has
been Systematically prosecuted during
the past eight months and the carriers al
151 offices have been investigated. All
these offices there were employed 4705
carriers, and their investigation resulted
in the following:
Reprimanded for various irregulari-
ties, 20S; suspended for classifying trip
reports, 81; suspended for failure to col
lect from street letter boxes, 392: dis
missed for drinking on duty and loiter-
ing, So.
Mr.. Jones says: "In view of the great
saving effected and the improvement in
the service, especially in the large cities,
| would recommend the employment of
a number of men in the larger offices
whose regular duty it shall be to inspect
the work of carriers, make a general SUI
pervision of the work of carriers out
side of postofices."
An estimate of 81, 100000 is made for
the free delivery service next year. The
money order report shows that there are
1861 domestic money order offices and
orders to the amount of S156,709,OS9
were issued and $156, 159,6S9 paid.
Mr.. Jones recommends legislation re-
curing all clerks handling money order
business to give bonds.
Concerning dead letter matter the re-
port says: The number of pieces of ORR
ginal dead mail matter received during
the year for treatment was 6,379,SS6.
Mr.. Jones renews several recommends
tions made in his last report, such as
a penalty for using postmarks for unlaw-
full purposes; to prevent bOycotting post
Offices; to amend the ranking laws; for
stringent legislation against obscene mat
ter; the employment of temporary and
substitute clerks; care for disabled en-
ployes; the better classification of sala-
ries of clerks in larger Offices and the en-
ployment of substitutes.

NEW MACHINERY SHIPPED.

Dubuque, Ia, Nov. 1O.-The Iowa Iron
works have shipped the new machinery
for the torpedo boat Ericsson and the
trial trip will be held this month on Long
Island sound, should the weather prove
favorable. On the first trial trip last
fall piston rod was pulled out and n
cylinder head smashed. 1t was then
supposed that the key of the piston rod
had broken. On the second trial last
summer similar accident occurred,
causing the death of three men and it
was then concluded that the cylinder
head was too light. This defect has been
remedied in the new engines.

CHIEF OF CONSTRUCTION AND
REPAIR OF THE NAVY MAKES
HIS ANNUAL REPORT.
The APPROPRIATIONS RECOMMENDED
Funds Needed to Complete Warships
and to Repair Old Ones-Annual Re
port of the First Assistant
Postmaster General.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Commodore
Phillip Hychborn, chief of the bureau of
construction and repair of the navy, has
completed his report for the year. The
report includes estimates for appropria-
lions for next year, the most important
of which is 1896, $40 to be expended on
vessels authorized by congress for the
increase of the navy. He also asks for
81 100000 for the general repair of YES
sells and the purchase of stores and ma
chinery, $52S,O00 for continuation of
work already authorized on the Hartford,
the Chicago and other vessels, and $780,
600 for two composite sailing vessels. He
dwells especially upon the necessity of
adequate money for the repair of YES
sells. 1t is now more than nine years
since the first vessel of the new navy
was put in commission, and the necessity
for general repairs and renewals of fit
tings and equipments is becoming more
and more pressing. The policy of extreme
economy has about reached its limit, and
unless more ample appropriations are
made for the care and preservation of
ships and the general maintenance of
the yard plants the efficiency of the fleet
will be diminished and government prop
erty will suffer serious deterioration.
Commodore Hychborn suggests the i'm
portance of appropriations sufficient to
push the navy yard plants at Portsmouth,
n H., Boston, New York, League Is,
land, Norfolk. Va. and Mare Island, Cal,
| in a condition to meet the demand of the
| immediate future. He thinks $125,0OC
necessary to Norfolk, $4,000 at New
York, and $4,000 at Mare Island. He
| also renews the recommendation of last
year for the appropriation of $4,000 for
each of the two new stations at Port
Royal and Puget Sound. This is, he
says, necessary to equip the stations with
tools, so as to enable them to cover the
ordinary repair work.
Probably the most important part OF
the report is that devoted to the necessi
| ty of increased dry dock facilities.
Mr.. Hychborn notes the fact that there
was no dock, government or private, II
the country sufficiently large to dock the
Indiana preliminary to her trial trip.
The chief constructor endorses the
recommendation of the constructor al
Boston for a dock there sufficiently large
to take the largest vessel, as he does also
similar recommendations from the con
tructors at Norfolk and Mare Island.
Mr.. Hychborn also recommends thai
in future appropriations be made for hav
ing at least one vessel in course of con
struction at each of the three principa
navy yards.
The report renews the recommendation
previously made of an experimental tanl
in which carefully conducted experiment.
could be made with models. One hun
bred thousand dollars is asked for thi
purpose, and it is believed that with sucl
a station properly equipped and differed
the department would be in condition
to make original research and act OIL
quite independent lines.
