TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Twenty Eight Souls on tho n. Y. Central
Hurled Into the Hudson River.


Garrisons, N. Y, Oct 25.-From the
sleep that means refreshment and rest
to the eternal sleep that knows no
awakening, plunged in the twinkling
OF an eye yesterday morning, twenty
eight souls, men, women and children.
In the Shiny bed of the Hudson river
train laden with slumbering human
ity ploughed, dragging through the
waters the passengers. There was
nothing to presage the terrible aeei-
dent which SO suddenly deprived these
unfortunates of life.
The New York Central train left
Buffalo last night, and had progressed
for nearly nine-tenths of the distance
towards its destination. The engineer
and his fireman and just noted the
gray dawn breaking from the east,
and the light streak of red denoting
the suns appearance, when the great
engine, servant of the rails, plunged
into the depths of the river. Neither
engineer nor fireman will ever tell the
story of that terrible moment. With
his hand upon the throttle the engineer
plunged with his engine to the river
bottom; and the fireman, too, was at
his post Behind them came the ex-
press car, the combination cars and
the sleepers, and these piled on top of
the engine.
1t is known IL was trife foggy, and
that the track was not visible, but If
there was any break in the lines of
steel 1t must have been of very recent
happening, for only an hour before
there had passed over heavy passen-
ger train laden with human freight.
Neither is an explanation ready. All
is conjecture.
The section of road was supposed to
be the very best on the entire division
There was great heavy retaining wall
all along the bank, and while the tide
was high the day before it was not un-
precedented
What seems to have happened was
that underneath the tracks and ties
the heavy wall had given away, and
when the great weight of the engine
struck the unsupported tracks it went
crashing through the rest of the wall
and toppled over into the river.
Then there happened what, on the
railroad at any other time would have
caused disacter, but now proved a very
blessing. AS the train plunged over
the embankment the coupling thai
held the last three of the six sleeper.
broke and they miraculously remained
on the broken track. In that way
some sixty lives were saved.

A Man with the Clock Fad.

The most ordinary circumstances
may lead to the development of fad.
About ten years ago there died in New
York City a man who went by the
name of the clock miser" At his
death he was living in an old, rickety
house, poorly furnished, with the ex-
ception of some 400 clocks. When the
man was young he was Junior partner
in mercantile concern and was
obliged to be at his desk promptly, so
he bought Swiss clock and set it up
opposite his bed Doubling its accur-
acy, he bought another clock of Ger
man make and interested himself in
keeping them together, studying their
mechanism and the points of differ
enee. From time to time he bought
other clocks and eeasing to care for
them for their real use, valued them as
curiosities and ornaments. AS years
passed the whim grew upon him and
finally he lost interest in everything
but his clocks, dropped his friends and
lived alone in the dingy house. with
his hundreds of ticking clocks for
company. He talked to them as
though they were human beings.

A very bad impression has been made

1t is feared that this may enable the
companies TO claim damages from
Spain for losses during the war Per-
haps further reason why they are
seeking English and American protec-
tion is that Cuban capital fears the
tyranny, disorder and throat cutting
which will follow Immediately on the
