THE fact that yellow fever did
not develop in the south until the
very last of August is safe ground
for concluding that there need be
no fear of an alarming epidemic.
This is now past the middle of Sep
tember, and there have been very
few deaths even in proportion to
the number of cases. In the worst
years of the plague it developed
early and ragged most violently dur
ing the hotsummer months, dying
out in October.

Last Saturday Mat Bovles. n

Last Saturday Mat Boyles, IN a
drunken rage, shot his wife at Dud-
ley, six miles west of Dexter. Two
shots were fired, one taking effect
in the woman's breast and the
other in her wrist. Although
Boyles was drunk at the time, the
shooting was the result of an alleg
ed intimacy between Mrs. Boyles
and fellow named Lem Durham.

Train Wreck at Garrison's Caused
by This Means.
VIEW OF RAILROAD OFFICIALS
Done by Some Fiend Who Sought
Personal Revenge.
PREVIOUS ATTEMPrTO WRECK

COLD SPRINGS, N. Y, October 81
President Depew is of the opinion that the
disaster of Sunday morning on the New
York Central railway was the result of a
dynamite explosion planned by enemies of
. the corporation. His view finds many up
holders among railway officials and citi-
zens familiar with the conditions.
IF the embankment of the railroad was
torn up by dynamite, the motive of those
who did 1t was not robbery, but revenge"
was the statement made by one official of
the road today.
"A rigorous investigation is being made,
and at least one man may be arrested to-
day.
ROndmnster's Views.
When the party of twenty-six road
masters of the New York Central system
arrived at the scene early Monday morn
ing, and commenced critical survey of
bhe section Of the embankment which
had been either washed or blown out one
of the roadmasters, a man who had great
experience in the use of dynamite, said that
the excavation looked to him very much
like the work of dynamite. The tendency
of dynamite is to blast downward rather
than upward or outward, and one of the
most expert track builders of the railroad
says that very light charge of dynamite
would have collapsed section of track
fully as extensive as the section in ques-
ton.
The locomotive was found in the river
at least thirty feet south of the depres-
sion in the track which makes it seem
reasonably certain that the engine leaped
the space before it started in its plunge
into the mud bottom of the river.
1t is known that the engineer had shut
off his steam and applied the air brakes
TO the train before the crash came. and
those circumstances lead the officials to
believe that the engineer. Foyle, saw that
something was wrong with the track in
time to apply the brakes before he went
into the river with his engine. Still 1t Is
admitted that he would have instantly ap-
piled the brakes the moment that he felt
his engine sinking.
Previous Attempt at wrcckfnc.
gentleman who travels from Garrison's
to New York every morning says that three
weeks ago this same train, No. 49, had a
narrow escape from being wrecked at a
point about two miles south of the spot
where it finally met it's fate. A huge bould-
er, weighing two tons, was discovered on
the track just in time for the train to be
stopped.
i made the remark that morning that l
believed some one put that stone there. and
1 still think So, said this gen .leman
The boulder must have fallen from rhe
top OF the mountain, for it cleared the in
land track in its fall and landed squarely
in the down track. 1t looks to me as if
some one bears grudge against the rail-
road company. but who it is | cannot say.
