Especial to Austin Cotton Exchange)
New York, Sept. 15.-The opening de-

cred and a sharp advance followed. Liv-
erpool sold rather freely here. but on the
other hand, local and southern shorts
covered. New Orleans advanced and the
weekly bureau report was more bullish
than had been expected, so prices rccov-
cred the early loss and advanced II to

219.60O bales. Runge, the Texas cotton
authority, confirms his previous estimate
of 1.750,000 bales as the Texas crop.
Liverpool declined Lied on spot; sales,

diton to consulting Senator Hill as to
the makeup of the state organization
leaders, Bernard Yarke of Kings county
had stopped at the senator's residence
and after conversation had decided that
the proper person for Kings county to
place in nomination for lieutenant gov
crnor to combat the republican candidacy
of Timothy l.. Woodruff was Gen Isaac
Catlin of Brooklyn. This let out of all
consideration Ridgeway Mcclellan and
others, and it did not take long for those
people to announce that they were Mai
candidates. The very sudden turning
down of the lieutenant governor candi-
dates put the Albany boomers of Mr.,
John Boyd Thatcher in Il rather unen-
viable frame of mind. They were nery--
| Gus and distressed, although nearly all
of the Tammany delegates wore badges
with Thatcher's name upon it.. But
| there was little apparent excuse for this
nervousness, for there was no other name
| mentioned for the nomination tonight
| The ticket, therefore, rs it stands select
| ed tonight, is as follows:
For governor, John Boyd Thatcher Of
Albany: lieutenant governor, Isaac Cat
| lin of Brooklyn, chairman of the state
committee. vice Maj. James Hinkey, re-
| tired, former state treasurer, Elliott Dan
| forth of Shenandoah; for national conf
mittecman, vice William II. Shechan,
resigned, former state comptroller, Frank
| Campbell of Bath: temporary chairman
Thomas Il. Grady of New York City;
permanent chairman, Il. H. Rockwell of
| Chcmung.
The platform will endorse the Chicago
national ticket and platform; arraign the
last republican legislature as the most
| extra in the history of the state; !.
declare that the Raines liquor law was
merely for the creation of a vast rcnub--
lican machine and to assist in reducing.
at the expense of class, the tax rate
of the state.
Among other things. it advocates the
adoption of more stringent laws regard
! ing trusts.

The Crowds Could Not Distinguish
Which Trains to Take and Many
Were Dumped Off in Waco-Re-
freshments Were Exhausted
Early i'll the Day and the
People Went Hungry.

Crush, Tex, Sept. 15.-(Spccal.)-The
greatly advertised and much talked of
Katy collision came off here this after
noon at 5:33 o'clock and it was carried
out to the letter. as is always the case
with affairs under the Katy manage
ment. In n nutshell the collision was
superb, awc-inspiring in the extreme and
grand in sublimity 1t had its sad feat
urc, however, in that several were
wounded and one or two deaths may be
resultant.
There were fully $4,000 people on the
grounds to witness the spectacle and they
were fully repaid for their coming, though
they will long remember their fatiguing
experience of getting here and getting
away. 1t required some thirty sections
of ten or fifteen coaches to handle the
crowds and the neighborhood of the col
lision was fairly alive with humanity,
representing every section and calling Of
people.
1t was $50 o'clock, however, before
the trains were ready for the collision.
They were each given a speeding of
about twenty-five miles an hour and then
backed up the track a mile and a half
from the meeting point. At a given sig
nal the trains were started toward one
another, the engineers opening the throt-
ties, jumping and letting the trains come
together at full speed. Both engines
were handsomely painted and presented
quite gala appearance.
There was great difficulty in keeping
the excited crowd at a respectful distance
from the scene of the wreck, but the in
slant they saw the two trains bearing
down upon one another at a high rate of
speed they realized their perilous stu
alton and FASTENED to place of safety,
but in some instances this was out of the
question and the result is nine injured
people, three seriously so.
AS the two trains reached one another,
whistling at every jump, the whistle
being tied to the wheel so as to produce
the noise, the crowd became awe-stricken.
Onward the two trains rushed. In an
instant they were together and a terrific
crash was the result They fairly swal-
lowed one another up, apparently sliding
into one another. There was a dull, sick
oning crash, then an explosion of both
boilers, and instantly the air was filled
with flying fragments, many Lighting 1000
yards from the track.
Sections of one of the boilers, two feet
wide the entire length of the boilers were
blown 1000 yards from the track and
buried itself in the ground Flying bolts,
chains and pieces of timber were literally
strewn all over the country. AS soon as
the dense smoke had cleared away two

ears of the northbound train were seen
standing erect on the track, and one of
the sOuthbound, but the two engines and
nine cars We're piled up in Il mass not
fifty yards in length.
The force with which the trains collided
was something terrific and awed the
crowd for an instant. They rallied quick
ly, however, and climbed over the ruins
in eager crowds, hunting souvenirs. At
almost the some instant however, the
vail of the wounded rang out ON the air
and proclaimed that holiday wrecking
was not without its fatality.
Earnest Darnell of Bremond, who was
in a tree at least 500 yards from the COLI
sion, was struck on the head by a fly
ing chain that wrapped around the tree
with such force as to embed itself.
Mrs. j. L. Overstreet, who was stand
ing 1000 yards from the scene, was hit
by an iron rod and will probably die,
j. C. Dean, Waco photographer, who
was taking picture not 100 yards dis
tant, was hit by chunk of iron and is
in serious danger.
There were Il dozen or more slightly
wounded but the seriously injured are:
J. c. Dean, Waco, photographer;
wounded seriously by being struck in
right eye and temple.
| Mrs. j. L. Overstrect of Gerald, Texas,
wounded in head and will probably die.
Ernest Darnell of Bremond; struck on
head and will die.
Claud Alvey, Waco; struck with piece
of flying timber and seriously hurt
j. d. Willenburg of West, Texas; hit
by bolt, fracturing thigh.
Ray Kendrick, small boy; ankle frac-
turcd by fragment of steel.
After many had grabbed up souvenirs
and others had administered to the wants
of the wounded, Il wild race to get away
| began. No trains put in an appearance
however, until $50, by which time the
crowds were packed along each side OF
| the track for two miles, making it al
most impossible for the cars to pass
through. The first train left the grounds
I at I o'clock. and from that time unit
nearly II o'clock the crowds packed and
| damned each other, men and wOmer
alike fighting for places on departing
| trains.
Confusion was rampant. No one knew
which train to take and train officials
seemed unable to give them any intelli
gence. Thousands were hauled into
Waco and dumped, and for several hour,
sought in vain some information as tC
how to get away, and many finally gave
up in despair and went to hotels for the
night The crowd was immense, the
confusion most pronounced, and the re
suit was tired, home-sick and hungry
crowd. Many had not tasted food since
early morning, as the lunch stands al
the grounds soon gave out. They were
weary and weatherwashed the cars
were packed to suffocation, and while
holiday wrecking was great, it was hard
ly greater than the mass of humanity
who presented a totally wrecked appear
light alongside of the track and i'm
patiently waited an opportunity to catcl
Il train for anywhere.
| Notwithstanding the great crowd TIL
grounds were well policed and few fight
were resultant, though DRINKS were con
stantly on exhibition. The wreckin

probably have the track clear by morn
