WRECK ON THE HAR1RM.

Passenger Train Tagged Just in Time to
 Prevent Disaster-Eighteen Cars Were
 Crushed.
 New Rochelle, May "A bad accident was narrowly averted near the Pel- ham Manor station on the Harlem branch of the New Haven railroad shortly after midnight this morning. It was only by the timely action of the station men that passenger train of six cars was prevented from crashing into pile of disabled freight cars that had been wrecked ten minutes before, Fortunately the passenger train was three minutes late in passing this point.
 The train which had the narrow es- cape is known as the Washington ex- press The cars were crowded with passengers.
 Ten minutes before the passenger train left the Grand Central station a freight train started over the line. The train was in charge of Engineer Van Hays and Conductor Flanagan. The train was running at the rate Of if teen miles an hour. When the train got east of Pelham Manor station the king bolt between the thirty fifth and thirty-sixth cars broke. There were fifty cars in the train.
 When the king bolt broke the fifteen cars on the end Of the train became unmanag geable and piled up into hope less mass on both tracks. Some of the cars were badly smashed.
 Brakeman Fraherty, who was on the tail end of the train, was the only per- son injured He jumped when the ac- cident occurred. He was badly shaken up and sustained a sprain of his wrist
 When the Washington express, fol- lowing the freight train, came along to the scene of the wreck it was Jagged just in time The engineer succeeded in stopping his train within a few feet of the mass of freight cars. Had his train been on time there might have been serious accident.
 The wreck of the freight cars blocked the road for several hours. It was not until o'clock that the east bound track was sufficiently cleared to permit trains to pass down The Washington express was stalled until o'clock Passengers who usually take the branch road were forced to go by the main line. It is not expected that traffic will be resumed according to schedule on the branch road until this evening.

The Brooks Post Office.

Business has been very duh for the past
year, but since the November election the
promised rush has come. 1t is in the form
of scramble for the post office, and confined
to one political party. Well, boys, we wish
there were offices enough to go around and
give each of you, at least one, that you might
be supremely happy, but as there is but one
office the most of you will get sadly left,
Brooks Correspondence of Belfast Age.
The Republicans of Brooks assure the
correspondent of the Age that he need give
himself no uneasiness in regard to the post
office. There are not nearly as many appli-
cants as there was four years ago, and
the competition for the place is carried on
with the best of feeling, and will be settled
without making any dissenslon in the party
or in any of the prioate families of the town.

A KNIFE FOR BRYAN.
Vandervocrt Plainly Shows the Hand
of the Watson Populists.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-The question of
fusion which has been a bone of con-
tention between the silver Democrats
and Populists of this state will proba-
bly, be settled at the state POpulist
convention which is in session here
Another thing which is likely to pro-
woke, lively discussion is the question
of indorsing the Chicago ticket, and
this, in fact, has assumed more import
ance than the nomination of the state
ticket. Mr.. Vandervoort of Nebraska
who is representing Mr.. Watson in
Chicago stated that the convention
would demand the withdrawal of Sew
all, and the placing of the Populist
nominee, Watson, on the Democratic
ticket.
I'VE are not going to let up" said
Mr.. VandervOOrt, until Sewan is off
the ticket or Bryan and SewaH de-
feated.'
In this connection he also charged
bad faith on the part of Chairman
Jones of the Democratic national COM
mittee,

FIT. SCOTT ROAD ADOPTS
The System of Discipline forEmployes
by Markings

The Kansas City, Fort Scott & Mem
phiS railroad adopted a new system of
discipline for employees last October.
Previous to that time, for carelessness
or neglect of orders, a man would be
laid off for a day or a week or month,
as the case might be. Under the new
system he is given marks instead. For
instance a switchman will be notified
that he has received twenty marks for
derailing a freight car, whereas, under
the old system he would have been laid
off for twenty days. Sixty marks
against a man is considered sufficient
ground for dismissal But there is a
credit feature to the system as we'll
Twelve consecutive months without
fresh marks cancel all marks up to
twenty against a man.
The old method of laying off men for
offenses was Objectionable, both on ac-
count of the hardship to the men them
selves and also because the company
considers it advantageous to retain the
same crew at a given piece of work.
The new system has been in opera
ton almost a year. said Superintend-
ent Nettleton the other day, land we
have found it very satisfactory. be-
lieve ours is the only road into the city
that has adopted it, but since we have
tried it the Alton has also abandoned
the old method of laying off men for
offenses. With US the system of marks
has proved a decided success"

JONES' EXPLANATION.
Says the Sudden Flop of Maine Demo-
Gratis Disorganized Their Forces

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, left Washington for Chi
cagO last night. When asked for an
opinion as to the result of the Maine
election he said:
when we consider that before the
Democratic national convention was
held the Democrats of Maine held a
convention and nominated gold ticket
on a gold platform, and that subse-
quently they met and reversed this ac-
ton, declaring for silver, and that this
was followed soon by an election at
which the party cast 5000 votes more
than it did two years ago, I think it
shows a marvellous gain for silver In
stead, therefore, of feeling disheartened
over the result. I feel greatly encour-
aged. 1t must be Remembered that
Main is in the extreme east, where we
never had hoped for any but the most
meager results for silver. The returns
ought to add to the hopes of our friends
all over the country
