President James O'Connell of the In

ment in writing to the Associated
Press:
There has been going the rounds Of
the gold standard press Of the country
q supposed interview with me. sent out
from New York. in which am quoted
as having said that was in favor Of
the single gold standard. and that the
International Association Of Machin-
ist, OF which I am the executive. was
strongly In favor Of the same. fearing
that the adoption of free silver would
mean the reduction Of wages through
out the country.
Il wish to say to those who are inter-
ested In knowing my views on this i'm
portant question that have never had
the interview referred to. have not
been In New York city for several
months; neither have I discussed the
question with a newspaper represents
tive In any manner or form. The sup
posed interview misrepresents me and
Is malicious falsehood from Begin
ming to end. The International Asso-
ciation Of Machinists at their last con-
vention declared in favor Of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver At the
ratio Of 16 to l. The American Fedora
ton Of Labor at its last three conven-
tions decided on the same lines. and
could not honestly represent either or
ganization II the supposed interview
were true. I am In favor Of the free
and unlimited coinage Of gold and Sill
yer at the ratio of 10 to 1. notwith-
standing newspaper reports to the con-
trary. I speak my views on this Quss-
ton: have no right to speak for
others. 1t Is fight between the

always been with the masses. shall
continue to do battle In the future.

FATAL TRAIN WRECK.
Engineer and Fireman Killed on the RI

Grandc.
Pueblo. Colo, Aug. 1G.-A wreck
occurred on the Denver & Rio Grande
road eight miles west of this city about
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, In which
Engineer Davenport and Fireman Rep
pert We're killed.
At 90 the second section Of the
Denver & Rio Grande train No. 1, the
regular Salt Lake and Pacific coast ex-
press. consisting of five tourist sleepers
and n baggage car, left the union de-
pot. The train was in charge 70 Con.
ductor Dan Yellowlee. Engineer Dav-
export and Fireman Reppert. The
train was late in pulling out from the
union depot yards and to make time
upon a level track the engineer had
given his train extra steam. When be-
tween one and two miles this side of
Vegas siding, eight miles west Of this
city, the engine suddenly left the rails.
The momentum of the train was SO
great that the entire train followed the
engine, leaving the track, the coaches
turning upon their side. All that re-
mained on the track was the rear truck
of the end coach.
The engine turned fiat upon its side,
burying the engineer and fireman be-
meath 1t, killing both instantly. Daven-
port leaves wife and four children.
With the exception Of a few slight
bruise and scratches none of the pas
sengers were injured.

The greatest excitement prevails
throughout the city, and further dis
turbances are feared this evening II
the demonstrators carry out their
threats Of returning in very much
greater strength and marching In pro-
cession through the many streets Of

The police, however. are making n
display of force calculated to prevent
any further serious rioting, and. If

A BIG DEATH ROLL.
New York UndertnkerI Could Not Bury All
tho BOdies Last Sunday.

New York, Aug. 17.-Notwithstand
Ing largely increased forces of grave
diggers working day and night, graves
could not be supplied to fill the demand
at the cemeteries, Sunday.
There was also shortage Of hearses,
and 1t was necessary to borrow from
other cities.
There were 400 funerals In New York
during the day, and over 200 in Brook
lyn. Undertakers said the funerals of
Sunday would be more numerous than
those Of any other day In the past week
and that meant more numerous than
In any other day In the history of this
city. They were right.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday saw
more burials than any seven days Of
which cemetery bookkeepers can find
record. These are startling facts,
but there are others as notable. The
number Of children among the dead
has never. in the hottest week of any
year, been so small as last week, neith-
er has the hottest week of any year
seen SO few burials Of aged people. The
average age Of the persons Inferred in
three principal cemeteries was forty
seven years. There were nearly twice
as many men as women buried.
OF the 1910 persons who died in this
city last week, nearly 500 died Thurs
day night, Friday and Saturday. Be-
cause of the difficulty In securing cas-
kets, hearses and carriages. or even un-
dertakers services beyond the simplest
and most necessary. nearly all the fun
erals for that period were delayed un-
til Sunday. There were thirty-six
hearses borrowed from adjoining
towns Of New Jersey and twelve from
Philadelphia. Several New York un-
dertakers, whose rush was over, loan
ed hearses to Brooklyn friends. Other
hearses We're added to Brooklyn's SUB
ply from Long Island towns. as there
were nearly one-fourth of the week 4
$40 dead In that city still unburied.
The cost Of funerals advanced about
20 per cent. on Friday.
So many graves had been called for
that the force OF nearly 300 men at
Calvary cemetery had been increased
by over 100 diggers and the entire
force had worked night and day. At
the Lutheran cemetery. the number of
diggers had been nearly doubled, and
even then the number Of graves COM
pleted was less than were NEEDED. In
consequence many bodies were placed
In receiving vaults.
All day Father Costello stood In the
tiny chapel at Holy Cross and pro-
nounced benedlction for the dead. The
funeral trains approached the chapel
in double lines, the hearses massed
around the entrance. where bearers
and the weeping relatives waited un-
til their turn to enter.

said Senator Edward Murphy, Jr.
Senator Murphy made this statement
at Long Branch recently to a gentle
man who recently held a high omcial
position and whose intimate relations

This gentleman visited Senator Murphy
purposely to obtain his views upon the
political situation In order that he
might shape his own accordingly. He
told the senator that, knowing that
Croker would vote as he (Murphy)
would, he himself wished to cast his
ballot for the same candidates. Then
1t was that Senator Murphy said 10
would support the ticket. To consider
the present democratic situation more

cult Judge Of the second circuit in this

of a trial. kneel down upon the bench
and ask divine direction. A noted

Lancaster, Pa, Aug. 1.-two men

and several buildings demolished by
the explosion Of twenty-five pounds of
dynamite at New Holland, Pennsylva-

The Pennsylvania Telephone compa-
ny is building a new line in that vicin-

summer kitchen Of the Eagle hotel.
Early this morning Charles +. Cannon,
an employe of the company and one of
the gang just about to start to work.
went to the summer kitchen to get
out enough dynamite for the days use.
A few moments later there was ter.
rible explosion, and one side Of the big
summer kitchen was blown out. A big
hole In another side had blood and
flesh ON the ragged edges and 1t IL sup
posed that Cannon's body was sent
through there. The unfortunate man
was blown to atoms.
Frank Hammond OF Harrisburg, who
was standing just outside of the build
Ing, had every bone in his body bro
ken and was instantly killed. George
Crossman Of Steelton. water boy,
was also standing near the building
and was so badly injured that he died
while being brought to this city.
The other buildings close to the sum.

was also part Of the hotel, while the
whole front of large implement store
was blown out. The tin roofs Of a
number Of houses We're ruined.
The damage to property will amount
to a large sum. Just what caused the

Cannon was the only person In the

To the Editor Of The World: One Of
the old stock arguments against tho
free coinage of silver was that the
country would be flooded with free sill

notice that The World claims that the
free coinage Of silver would drive all
the gold out of the country-that is. all
Of the six hundred millions Of gold
and that It would then take at least ten
years to fill up the gap with silver. the
result being a contraction Of the cur
rency. It seems to me that there 10 .
