TRYING TO FIX RESPONSIBILITY.
Progress of the Inquest of the Atlantic
CITY Railroad Horror.

Atlantic City, Aug. 3.-At the inquest
to-day into the Reading railroad hor-
ror after recess, O. r. Deice, super
intendent of the Reading railroad, ex-
planned the workers of the tower.
Nicholas Long was day operator and
was relieved by George Hauser, the
night operator, at 6:40 p. M Hauser
had been in the employ Of the company
only since July 1 of the present year.
No other person has any business in
the tower but the operator, except men
who may go there to make repairs.
Mr.. Deice pointed out the positions of
the signal poles and the indicators on
the track which ring an electrical bell
in the tower. The express which was
in the collision left Camden that Thurs
day afternoon at 2:52hz according to
the train despatcher's time sheet, and
passed Pleasantville, four miles from
the accident, at 6:45, one minute behind
time.
Mr.. Deice on his arrival at the scene
Of the wreck found the signals set at
their normal position, that is, the dis
tance signal at Caution" and the home
signal at Danger" An engineer ap-
preaching cautionary signal should
be prepared to stop when he reaches
the home signal Mr.. Deice submit
ted Operator Hauser's train sheet for
the evening of July 80. Hauser had, so
far, filled out his sheet as to put the
time ofthe express in passing there at
GAS. Mr.. Deice thought this must be
an error as the train could not have
made that time from Pleasantville.

pating.

T Cowes, Aug. "a large number of
yachts We're assembled here to take
part in the regattas of Cowes week
which began to-day with the regatta
o fthe Royal London Yacht club. The
queen is living at Osborne house and
several members of her family are Wis
iting her, but owing to the death of
Prince Henry there will be no royal
entertainments. Otherwise there will
be the usual illumination of the yachts
and dinners given aboard.
International interest in the regattas
is diminished by the fact that the Amer
ican yachts Vigilant and Lasca, which
were here last year, are not to take part
in the racing. Emperor Williams cutter
the Meteor now on drydock being over
hauled, will soon be ready to compete
again with the British boats. The en-
peror, however, will not visit Cowes
this year, though it was hoped he
would
The principal race to-day was for
yachts over 20-rating, the first prize

from Cowes to and around the Warner
light, thence to the Eclipse, back to the
starting point, twice around, distance
of fifty miles. The starters We're San

The wind was very light when the
yachts started and fell away to dead
calm just before the end of the first

Big Republican Rallies to be Held in New
York-Ex-President Harrison and Hon.
Thomas ID. Reed viii be Among the
Speakers-A Canvass of New York State
Shows That Per Cent. of Republican
County Leaders Incline to Bryan's Sup
port, While 6 Per Cent. of Democratic
Leaders win Vote for Mckinley.
New York, Aug. 3.-Regular cam
paign work was begun at republican
national headquarters to-day. Mark
A. Hanna was ON hand early, and was
soon joined by N b. Scott of West Vir-
ginia and Powell Clayton of Arkansas,
members of the executive committee.
Mr.. Clayton will have charge Of the
speaking arrangements of the cam
paign. BY the end of the week the
committee will be ready to send out
campaign literature.
Mr.. Hanna did not care to be inter-
viewed in regard to his conference with
Thomas G. Platt, Charles w. Hackett
and Edward Lauterbach last Satur-
day. He would only say that he had
nothing to do with factional fights, and
expected all republicans in this state to
turn in and do their share of the work.
He says he will accept advice and help
from both factions.
At republican state headquarters
Chairman Hackett was making prep
arations for a big ratification meeting,
at which ex- President Harrison, it is
said will be the principal speaker. Mr..
Hackett and all the other politicians at
headquarters laughed at the story
started yesterday that Mr. Platt is a
candidate for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation.
Reports received this afternoon by
Chairman Hackett from state and
county leaders showed that about 1 per
cent. of republican voters lean towards
free silver and the Bryan ticket, while
about per cent. of the democratic vot-
ers are for Mckinley
The republican county committee will
probably hold its big ratification meet
ing at Carnegie hall next week. Some
of the best speakers in the party,
among them Thomas B. Reed, will ad-
dress the meeting.
At the ST. John democratic and silver
headquarters it was said to-day that no
important campaign work would be
done until August II, when the demo-
cratic national committee will meet in
this city and prepare plan of cam
paign.

BENHAM AT HOME AGAIN.
Has Travelled From Canada Much of the
Time AfoOt.


Time Afoot.
Lord" Benham, the eccentric char
acter, who has for several years anus
ed himself and the youngsters with his
claim to relationship to Queen Victoria,
and who has for several weeks been
reported to be sojourning afoot toward
New Haven from upper Vermont and
Canada, where he was met by
swindlers, whom he says stole s400 from
him, returned to this city yesterday
afternoon on the o'clock train. Ben
ham was looking exceedingly well, but
said that he had had rough time
since he left New Haven.
He called upon DR.. Elijah Bond on
Orange street, who prescribed for him.
When the reporter asked him to give
an account of his travels Benham said
since his experience at Randolph, VT,
where a young woman who represented
that she was a reporter, interviewed
him, he had forsworn talking when
newspaper men or women either were
in hearing distance LORD Benham's
account of his interview with the fair
reporter was exceedingly interesting.
He did not encounter the young wo-
man until he was Ell route home His
modification Lord" Benhams attire
was not such as was conducive to
proper regard of himself. Benham says
that the men who enticed him away
were New Haven men.

Little Rhodx,s True Democrats.

Providence, Aug. "A meeting Of
sound money democrats Of Rhode Is
land was held in this city to-day, and
resulted in the issuing of a circular to
the democrats of the state denouncing
the Chicago platform and candidates,
and declaring that the action of the
state central committee in ratifying the
action of the Chicago convention was
ill-advised and in direct opposition to
the last expressed opinions of the DEM
ocrats of the state. The circular is
signed by F. H. Jackson, c. P. Page,
Oscar Lapham, William c. Baker and
other prominent democrats. A COM

RISE TnEIR TOICES FOR GOLD.
Kentucky Democrats Who Will Not Stand
by Chicago Nominees.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 3.-The gold
standard democratic executive commit
tee has issed an address to the demo-
Gratis of the state, calling on them not
to support the platform and nominees
of the Chicago convention. The ad-
dress in part is as follows:
.The Chicago convention openly re-
pudiated all previous democratic plat
forms and principles, and enunciated
reckless, dangerous and un-American
creeds, many of which have been traced
back to populist and greenback con-
ventions or the pronounciamentos Of
populists or socialists. 1t declared for
what would lead to the Reputation Of
national and individual obligations
and credit 1t formulated a scheme for
debasing the nations money, under
which the established standard Of val
ues would be reversed, the purchase
power of the wages of labor be reduced
one-half, and our nation be set back
from it's financial place among enlight-
ened peoples, to monetary fellowship
with Mexico, Peru and the silver mon
ometallist nations of Asia.
IA candidate who has thus sought
to be and has been, received into en-
thusiastic fellowship by the populist
st. Louis convention, and who has
openly declared his determination not
to support the party. cannot seriously
expect to be accepted as the candidate
of the democratic party"
The address concludes by calling on
democrats who are against the Chica-
go nominees and platform to meet in
their counties August Is and select del
egates to the state convention, which
meets in this ciey August 20.

Canton, O., Aug. 3--Major Mckinley
has had few days of quiet and he is
turning over in his mind the points
which he thinks of discussing In his
letter of acceptance. He will not, how
ever, aim to have letter ready for
publication for three or four weeks.
Ex-senator Brue Of Mississippi called
on Major Mckinley to-day. He is fa-
miliar with the political situation in the
south and thinks the major will carry
Virginia, West Verginia, Maryland
and Kentucky. He said:
1T will be found that the democratic
politician in the south has until recent-
ly been able to keep the south solid.
Hereafter the progressive elements Of
the south will take such action as will
advance the material prosperity of that
section. They want protective tariff
that will build up that section. They
also want sound money instead Of de-
preciated, silver dollars. The colored
voters Of the country, north and south.
are enthusiastically supporting Major
Mckinley
A mass of correspondence from the
southern and middle states received In
Canton since the ST. Louis convention
indicates with clearness that the color
ed voters are disposed to be loyal sup
porters Of the republican ticket.
Much interest in the opening meet
ing Of the Ohio campaign which has
been announced for August 15, is man
ifested here. Many active Mckinley
men in both parties talk of going t0
Columbus. Senator Foraker and Sem
ator Sherman will be the chief speak
ers. Mr. Reed wants to be present at;
the opening, but he has written Major
Mckinley that serious business engage
ments will make it impossible FOR him
to leave the east. He will speak in
Ohio later.

TRIES TO END HER LTFE AT NEW

His Manner Siugularly Strange-WiH
Not Give the Woman's Real Name.
Newark, N. j., Aug 3-A woman
registered on Sunday at the Park hotel
here as Mary Smith, from Canada. She
attempted to commit suicide this morn
ing, first by asphyxiation, and, this
failing, by hanging. She was found
unconscious and removed to a hospital,
where, it was said tonight, there were
strong hopes for her recovery. A. M.
Bishop, a New Haven lawyer, discov-
cred Miss Smith. She was his client,
and he intimated that she was wealthy.
Miss Smith first placed a rubber hose
over the gas jet and inhaled the gas.
A window of the room was open and
the gas did not have the desired effect.
She therefore twisted a sheet into
rope. One end she tied around her neck
and the other she attached to the bed
post. A hall boy smelled gas and noti-
fled the proprietor. The latter notified
Lawyer Bishop. The two men burst in
the door and found Miss Smith uncon-
scious. Four doctors were summoned,
and they discovered she had taken a,
dose of morphine before attempting to
asphyxiate herself.
The physicians worked on the wo-
man four hours before they ventured
to say that she would recover Chief
of Police Hopper found the following
note:
please do not remove my clothes nor
mutilate my body in any way
In a stand drawer in the room the
chief found a half pint bottle full of
carbolic acid and a bottle containing
morphine.
Lawyer Bishop directed that no ex-
pense be spared in treating the woman
at the hospital. He admitted that she
had threatened to commit suicide, but
he would not give her reasons for her
desire to end her life. He said she was
from New Haven. He had been sum-
moned to Newark by a telegram sent
