ON THE WHEEL

Since the last issue OF The COURIER
several Of the boys have taken me to
task for not having had something to
say in reference to the races on Decor
alton day. beyond merely printing the
results Of the various contests during
the meet.
The fact was that was unable to see
any Of the racers while they we're at the
park after the race. since the rain
caused them all to rush of for home.
In addition to that 1 have had some
doubt as to the merit on my part Of
abusing the confidence the riders saw fit
to place in me when they finally did talk.
But as "man about town. for paper
out for reform may perhaps be pardon
ed for small grain Of advice and for
making public few remarks made to
me by some Of the boys.
First, the advice / seriously feel it my
duty to advise the sprouting scOrcher to
take the $3.50 he is laying by each week
for the first payment on the II pound
wheel ION which the oily tongued dealer
tells him he will romp away from them
ally and buy bread and meat or help
pay the rent with it.
Second: to illustrate my advice you
have in the following my interviews
with several riders, who few days ago
were respected. Boys who would have
deemed it an honor to us to permit us
to clean their wheel or lead it along the
street for them, and for whose cigarette
''butt" the street arab would do battle,
when he would scorn the proffered box.
Does it pays Will, if they can sell
their wheels and not lose too much on
them, and promise to be good in the
future, they may worm themselves back
into the good graces Of the public; but
such thing is doubtful.
The first one l encountered after the
races, was Mcbride, leaning up against
brand new wheel. When asked why
he didn't enter the races, he winked his
other eye and pointed 70 the wheel. A

was to take the lead and swing wide.
Deacon was to mistake this for finish,
and in his joy was to grab the wagon

wreck the crowd; leaving me an easy
winner.
But I was doomed to disappointment.

The Committees.

The Senate committee on judiciary met
after adjournment this morning to con-
slider the application of the school COM
mittee in Cranston for permis-
sion to appoint the truant officers
by the town. The question of the legal
right of any school committee to make
the appointment, the Office implying that
of constable, was considered, it being
doubted il the Legislature had any right
to grant such petition.
The joint committee on executive COM
munications held meeting after the ad :
journment of the Assembly this morning,
to consider the invitations that
had been extended to the State
to participate in the cotton exposition
and the dedication of the new national
park at Chickamauga and Chattanooga.
On next Wednesday the joint commit
tee on finance will grant pu blic hearing
to those interested in and opposed to the
bill calling for an appropriation OF s70 900
to replace a $4,000 structure recently
destroyed by fire at the grounds OF the
Agricultural College. And on next
Thursday this committee will GO to the
scene OF the confiagration at Kingston to
examine into the real needs of the institu-
tion In the way of new buildings.

A CHARMED LIFE.
The Reputation Of a Railroad
Engineer.
He Was Seriously Injured in a Wreck
This Morning.
Traffic Delayed by a Big Smashup i'm
New York State.

RHINEcLIFF, N. Y, Feb. 15.-The
freight train known as the Troy pickup,
bound north, parted about a mile and a
half north of Rhinecliff at 3 o'clock this
morning. The divided parts came to-
gether and five freight cars
were telescoped. The wreck blocked
the down track and train No.
~, the fast mail and express south
bound, came along at about.the same time.
Before danger signal could be displayed,
the fast mail ran into the wreck, the
engine and three express cars of the fast
train jumping the track. The locomotive
went into the river, taking with it en-
gineer James Donohue and fireman Green.
They were rescued from the locomotive
by the crew OF the other train and sent to
PoughKeopsie, where they were removed
to Vassar Hospital. The men who were
seriously hurt were attended by Father
Miilar of ST. Peters Church, Poug ghkeepsie.
Train No. 81 carries no passengers. None
OF the express agents nor mail clerks was
injured. The wreck completely blocks both
tracks and traffic will be delayed for sew
eral hours. DIR. Tice of Rhinebeck at
tended the injured men. He says that
Donohue is badly hurt about the chest,
has severe spinal injuries, and is suffering
so much from the shock that he cannot
recover. Donohue is one of the oldest and
most popular engineers on the road. He has
been in many serious accidents, notably
the Hastings disaster of three years ago,
and though often seriously injured, has
always recovered. On that account he has
gained considerable newspaper notice,
and has been looked upon by railroad
men as the engineer with charmed life.
Donoghue Died.
The injuries sustained by the engineer
and fireman were more serious than at
first thought. Donoghue died few
hours otter the accident and fireman
Reed was taken to the Vassar Hospital,
fatally injured. The wreck caught fire
soon after the collision.

RIVER TRAFFIC RESUMED.
But Little Ice Obstruction Left to
Steam or Sailing Craft.

Three steamers. three tugs and three
barges have come into the harbor since
yesterday noon. The steamers are the
Nashua of the Providence line, the Nor
man OF the Philadelphia line, and the City
OF Newport OF the Continental line.
The tugs arc the Harold, Gov. III. M.
Hoyt, ana A. p. Skidmore, and the barges
are the Baltimore, Il. q. Berwind and
Banter. All of the steamers were more or
less late, but upon the whole there Is a
decided Improvement in the condition of
the river, the most obstruction being
betweet Bullocks Point and the harbor.
The steamer City of Newport made the
trip to Newport yesterday in two and one
half hours, which is about half an hour
more than the usual time. The return
trip this morning was made in about the
same time. She sailed for Newport again
this afternoon.
The steamer Harry sailed for Fall River
by the steamer William Marvel, which is
tied up on account OF broken shaft.
There is three -masted schooner
sailing up the west bay from
Newport, but will undoubtedly
cast anchor when she arrives of Bullocks
Point or else be taken in tow by some tug.
The steamer Richard Borden of the Fall
River l.ne will arrive in this post from
Fall River at the usual hour tomorrow.
