81 dressed myself and accompanied
by the porter cot into my row boat auC
rOwed around the curve TO W here thC
train was in the river. When we
reached the cars, which were sub
merged nearly to their roofs, the engine
being entirely out Of sight, the crews
of the tugbOatS were making efforts tt
save the passengers. The first man
saw them take out was, l think, the
agent of the express car. The first per
sons we succeeded in resculng wert
two Cinnamon, who were sitting OIL
the roof of the smoker. One had his
arm broken. We put them ashore anG
then took three more persons OIL the
top of another car.
'At the same time people in theiI
underclothes were being taken out OF
the sleeping cars by the crews of the
several tugs. One man on shore with
an arm cut off, was dying, and we
made his last moments as comfortable
ters, although frightened, showed great
bravery and saved many lives"
One of the trainmen who survived
the disaster made it his first duty tC
run to the first signal tower to tele'
graph for help. The wreck occurred
at the entrance to Kings cut, three
miles south of Garrisons and five miles
north of Peeksklll.
Two other express trains were fol-
lowing close behind the illfated state
express and the engine of one OF them
was sent to Garrisons and brought
General Manager j. NJ. TOucey, while
the other brought number of doctors.
OF the dramatic horror OF the situa'
ton in the combination car when II
left the track and struck the water
perhaps the best account is had from
Herman Acker of Peekskill, the bag
gageman and mail sOrter. Acker was
suffering badly from shock when seen,
but the scenes he graphically described.
He said:
John Shaw, agent for the Westcott
Express company, and myself were in
the compartment, when suddenly there
was a terrible bump and then rush OF
water that forced us toward the ceiling.
The car seemed to turn completely over
and had filed with water to within
about foot Of the top. When we
struck, the car whirled completely
around, the end which the Chinese &C.
cupied being under water, while our
end was tilted up. We swan around
and got ventilatOr open and, noting
the situation, got an AK from toolbON
which was alioat and smashed a panel
in the end Of the car. We crawled
through the hole to the roof of the car
and rowboat came out and took us
ashore"
Five men were rescued from the top
of q floating car few minutes after
the accident They were put on train
and taken to Peekskill, about ten miles
down the river, They were admitted
TO the Helping Hand hospital, where
their wounds were dressed. OF the five
three were Cinnamon, and none were
fatally injured.
The American were: John II. Ryan
of Jersey City, 80 years old, badly
lacerated hand, shoulder and knee.
Clarence Morgan of Aurora, N. r.,
aged 26, broken shoulder.
The three Cinnamon were suffering
from scalp wounds. Morgan escaped

fers as follows to recent editorial
in that paper regarding Bryan's
work in tho Kansas railroad dis
aster:
| beg to thank You for your gen
erous words, but am afraid your
praise out-runs the merit of my
work Oh that occasion. I did no
more than tho others who escaped
uninjured, and mono of us did more
than could have been expected from
any person under like circumstances.
Some of the wounded ones suffered
intensely, and no one could have re.
fused any assistance which could
possibly be rendered. 1t is often
tho lot Of public mon to be criticised
when they do do not deserve it, and

tion which they sometimes receive is
necessary to form just average.
However, | appreciate the charity
which you, rs political opponent,
have shown.
Very truly yours,

have the right to make any disposi-
ton of the property they desire. The

THE PEABODY FUND.
One or tho Most Wisely Bestowed Bene
factions In History.

factions In History.
President d. G. Gilman, Johns
Hopkins University, in Atlantic. I
When George Peabody 30 years
ago put in trust $2,O00,OOO to be
spent in furthering education in the
United States, he made undoubtedly
tho wisest provision for the public
good that any similar benefactor
evor made. President Gilman,
chairman Of the board, sots forth the
history and results of this groat fund
in the Atlantic. In the first place
he used uncommon wisdom in select
ing the board of trustees. Although
the war had but recently ended and
mon were violently divided in their
opinions, he was broad enough to Sc
lect alike men from the north and
mon from the south. He was wise
enough not to. restrict their action,
but to allow them to apply the
money to education as they pleased,
expressing simply his conviction that
it would serve tho best purpose by
stimulating educational work that
was already begun instead Of found
ing now institutions.
Three presidents of tho United
States, two chief Justices Of the su-
preme court and a number Of other
most eminent men have felt it an
honor to serve on this board. 1t has
beon proved, therefore, that the
highest possible service can bo So
cured for public end without Pc
cuniary consideration if the aim be
large and high.
The income from this $4,000, 900
was to be devoted as the trustees
saw fit for 30 years, and at the end
of 30 years they were themselves to
decide whether they should continue
longer to distribute this income or
whether the principal also should be
applied to education and the trust
wound up. The trustees have ro-
contly unanimously concluded to
continue the payment Of tho in
come
During these 30 years $2,40O,-
600 has been spent in furthering cd,
ucation, chiefly in the Southern
States, and it is modest estimate
Of the results to say that complete
revolution has been brought about
Less than 30 years ago Is per cent
Of the whites in ~ Southern States
were illiterate, and now only 16 per
cent. Thirty years ago 81 per cent.
of the blacks were illiterate, and now
only 81 per cent. In Virginia in
1870 there we're only $1,000 pupils
in the public schools; now there are
3o0,O0O. These arc specimens Of
tho results that have been brought
about more by reason Of this great
donation than from any other single
cause.
a result Of another sort has fol-
lowed Mr.. Peabody's wise action, for
Mr.. John Il. Slater's donation of ST.
100000 was directly suggested by
it. Those two great benefactions for
public education are believed to be
without precedent or parallel in tho
history of the uso of great fortunes
for the public good. They have be-
come historic as evidences Of tho
breadth of American philanthropy.
Once Il year, when tho board Of
trustees of the Peabody fund meets,
following tho suggestions of the
founder, they dine together. At the
conclusion Of tho dinner, in q most
proper and solemn manner, the
chairman proposes rs u sentiment
the momory Of the founder, which
the company drinks in silence.

substance of an interview between a
newspaper correspondent and an un-
named member Of the new Spanish cab
met. The latter is quoted as saying that

accept Spains customs tariff. Continu-

and that if the former were not satis-
fled Spain was prepared to fight, as the
Spanish navy was regarded equal i'm

Commissioner Erickson Is the only MEM
ber who has not incurred the CASTOR
wrath and this is because he did rot
