FIRED COLONEL CROFrOx


President TAkes an Unususl Msshod s4
Ousting IN Army Omces.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Colonel r. e.
Crofton, Fifteenth infantry, has been
arbitrarily relieved by order OF the
president.
1t has been the desire Of the war
department that this officer should
leave the active service, and efforts
have been made during the past two
years to attain this end, first through
intimations to the friends OF Colonel
Crofton that his retirement would be
granted if applied for, and this failing.
through that law which obliges an off,
Ger to retire if found physically unfit
for service by a medical board. This
last course was adopted about nine
months ago. but also without success,
the board finding that the officer was
In good condition physically, Finally
recourse has been had to the law which
permits the president to retire an officer
arbitrarily when he shall have reached
62 years Of age. Colonel Crofton has
passed this milestone last month, and
the law has been applied to his case.
An Unusual Proceeding.
This is most unusual proceeding,
the last instance of forced retirement
being IN the case of General AIarr, who
was forced out in order to permit OF the
promotion of officers below him in
rank. Colonel Crofton was in COM
mand Of the Fifteenth infantry while
the organization was stationed at Fort
Sheridan, near Chicago. and was with
or without just ground. held responsi.
bic for the many incidents in the his.
tory of the occupation of the post that
furnished matter for the courts.
Colonel Crofton had a good war rec.
ord. He was not native Of America
being born in Ireland. He was brew
cited major and colonel for gallant
services at Shiloh and Chickamauga
He become colonel Of the Fifteenth in
fantry in October, 1856. and is now
stationed at Fort Bayard, N. M.
whence that command was removed
when the last change in stations o
troops was made.

Hunting the wild Ssoat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat IA it Unfortunately called, Is q
species Of q game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not 60 much because
OF the difficulty Of killing the
animal, nor because OF Its actual
rarity. 1t is stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t is not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten. 80 =.

LABOR In NEW YORK.

Ii is estimated that there is less I'M
employed skilled labor in New York
now than at any time since 1892. Full
ly 10000 must must be at work at
public and private enterprises and i'm

department has now but few appli
cants for work, and the winters out
look is regarded as most hopeful.
Deputy Commissioner McMakin of the
state bureau of labor statistics, says:
The real secret of our present i'm
provement is the general restoration
of confidence and the revival of enter
prise. As a result the unemployed
ranks have fallen off fully 10 per cent
in the last few weeks. Wages have
not been so quick to respond, but in
many cases the rise in earnings is as
ter place to feel the pulse of the city's
ter plice to feel the pulse of the city's
labor than right here in our free en-

plications has been remarkable of late

ing to places where the working force
has been cut down by hard times. Up
the state, where | spent last week, the
manufacturers are putting machinery
in motion once more and taking back
their men. Rochester is particularly
alive and Syracuse follows close. In
Buffalo the revival is general and men
are everywhere getting employment"

PASSENGER TELLS OF FEARFUL
TRAIN WRECK.
The Newcastle Accident-Passenge
Burned Alive in the Flaming Cars
In Five Minutes No Sound Of Life.

\ gentleman who was n the Now
castle train wreck gives the following
account of accident. He says that The
newspapers gave no adequate lescrip-
ton of the horror of the scene. Ills
story is as follows:
"Our train was two hours behind
time and going down grade AZ forty
miles an hour. My wife and j were
in the Pullman. About mile I'D a
half west of Newcastle, Colo. GIIout 12
o'clock, | felt a terrible jar. with
was followed Immediately by 4 ter
rife explosion. | thought we had
been held up and the explosion was
bomb. \ moment later the Pullman
conductor came in and told us we had
been in a wreck and the explosion was
the gas tank under the day coach and
smoker.
"The train we collided with was a
freight, which. from all accounts, had
orders to wait for our train to pass it
at Rife, small station, a short
distance west of Newcastle. But the
conductor thought he could make
Newcastle before we got there.
sour engineer and fireman stood at
their posts until the trains struck.
right and the other to the left. The
engineer was thrown a hundred feet
anU fell through barb wire fence.
He died at o'clock the next morning,
The fireman was scalded to death al
most instantly. Our conductor was
sitting near the front door of the smo-
ker, and was thrown clear off the
car by the force of the collision which
broke out the end. He was not badly
hurt.
1.-THE engineer and fireman of the
freight jumped before the collision,
and it is thought the engineer escaped
and is in hiding as his body was not
found. The conductor of the freight
ran away, but was arrested the next
day.
When the engine struck. the mail
car of our train jumped clear over the
engine and the smoking car telescop-
ed the day coach. The whole wreck
was a mass of flames in moment,
and the shriel<s and groans were very
heartrending. The day coach was so
| full that three women had to be put
in the smoker, i'm which there were
twenty-five people. The lowest esti-
made by anyone on the train was that
fifty people persisted in the flames.
"The chair car was broken up but
the passengers mostly got out unhurt.
| Only the Pullman and a private car
stayed on the track. These were saw
ed from the flames by the passengers,
who uncoupled them and pushed them
| back.
$50 complete was the wreck and so
rapid was the spread of the flames
that little or no assistance could be
rendered except by the few who es-
capped from the smoker and were on
the spot. Before the Pullman passen-
gers could reach the burning coaches
all was practically over. Indeed. in
| five minutes after the collision not a
sound of life could be heard from the
burning cars. Only fifteen or sixteen
| escaped from the smoker and the day
coach. Those and the unhurt pas
sengers were taken back to Newcas-
tie in the Pullman and private car"
