SOME THINGS THEY WANT TO KNOW.
HIGH-HANDED MACHINE METHODS IN THE
xxXIuD DISTRICT

Representatives from nearly every election dis

ference Yesterday at Unity Hail. No. 2Ws Third-ave
The confer ,nce secret and had for It's purpose
the making OF final arrangements TO night the dis
trict ticket placed In the field by Frank Raymond
and President Quigg. Delegates were selected IN
all OF the election districts, and claims are made
that a majority OF these delegates will be elected
to the Assembly District Convention.
No matter what the result will be In the XXX!IId
District the situation there promises TO give tho
leaders considerable trouble before the fight Is
ended II Mr.. Raymond. with the assistance given
him by holh Mr.. Qugg and Senator Platt sue
ceeds ir capturing enough delegates TO hold him
in his present place as chairman or the Assembly
District Committee, the Republicans who are now
making ntter fight against him will undoubtedly
Withdraw from the organization. II, on the other
hand the opposition 10 Mr.. Raymond succeeds In
naming the six members OF the County Committee
from that district they will Immediately proceed
20 demolish Mr. Raymond's hopes for future politi-
cal power in the XXXIIId District and at the
same time will keep Mr.. Quigg busy explaining
some things that they want to know They will
want 10 know why the rolls were kept from their
,nspecton, as well why the allotment OF dele
gates TO the District Convention was made 80 az
to assist Mr. Raymond as much as possible.
The most pertinent inquiry, and one that the Re-
nubl,cans OF he district are all anxious TO have
answered is why the six members for the County
Committee selected at a district convention last
wear were legtslated out of office. According TO
;he story of one OF the leaders OF this movement.
the District Convention eecled six DELEGATES to the
County Committee, and they IN turn elected one

Sturgeon was not informed, and finally several In

covered that Mr. Surgeons name had been crossed

freight wrecks that has ever occurred on the
New-York Central Railroad happened at 4:3o

dred pounds fell from the side Of rock cut
onto the northbound track
A northbound extra freight train Of forty
loaded cars, drawn by engine No. 39S ana run

struck this obstruction. and the engine ana SIX
teen cars were derailed. The locomotive kept on
its course, and ran along over the ties Tor as
tance OF three hundred feet before IT stopped
The sudden checking Of the momentum Oh the
locomotive and forward cars. with the pressure
from behind OF the part Of the train that re-
maned on the track caused the deraed cars to
come together in the cut something ike an ac-
cordeon. so that they were jammed into the cut
from side to side in zigzag positions. both
tracks and the roadbed were torn up for dis
tance of $50 feet.
The wrecked cars were loaded with all kinds
or general rnercbandise-cases OF medicines, fur
niture. pianos, fruits. furs for military resi-
ment in Canada canned goods and machinery
About one-half Of the freight remained free
from damage

Frank Grant, head hagman, OF Poughkeepsle'
The engineer was slightly bruised ana the nre-
mans back badly strained from prIns
