bankment Broke.

! Garrison's, y. Y. Oct. pa disas-
trous railroad accident occurred on the
| New York Central & Hudson River
railroad. short distance below CARR
sons station, early Sunday morning
The train was the State express. due in
New York at T:}0 O'Clock, and was made
up Of engine No. SD, a combination bag
gage and express car. a smoker. two or
dlnary passenger coaches and four sleep
erss in charge of Conductor Parish.
The train left Albany at 3:15 o'clock
on time, and WAS going at n good rate
of speed when it passed Garrisons. 1t
was mile and n half below here when
the accident occurred. Conductor Par
lsh says the track seemed to fall ont
from under the train, the train seemed
to shoot into the air, and the next min
ute II appeared to fall into the river.
Into the Shiny waters of the Hudson the
cars plunged, dragging through the water
the helpless passengers. There was moth
ing to preSagc the terrible accident
which so suddenly deprived so many hui
man beings of life.
Two cars only were left on the track.
The engine did not stop until il lay sub
merged fifty feet below the surface. The
two forward cars followed and were
piled upon the engine. The smoker and
two following ordinary ears broke from
the train and ran some distance along
the bank and then into the water. Two
of the sleeping cars ran into the river,
but fortunately were left only partly un-
der water, the windows toward the shore
being left above the surface.

WAGES TO BE CUT.
The Illinois Steel Go. Announces a Re-
 duction of from 10 to 50 Per Gent.
COLORADO MINERS UNEASY.
Ouray and San Miguel Counties on tho Verge of Big Miners Strike Ohio Coal Miners
 Wages Cut

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Because, it is said, Of fall in prices occasioned by a breach of contract on the part of a cer- tain company in underselling the rest, the Illinois Steel Co. has announced a cut in wages of from 10 to 90 per cent. to take effect February l. The re- duction will touch every em- ploye unless protected by contract. The president is not exempt and some SIC, 900 officials will receive only $5, 50a. It is not yet certain whether members of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Iron and Steel Workers will suffer, but it is thought that their con tract, which will expire in the spring. wiu protect them for the present. There are 35,o00 men in the South Chi cago rolling mills. There was simi- lar reduction at the Bayview mills in Milwaukee, and it is said that there the amalgamation men were not af- fected.
 Colorado Miners Uneasy. DENVER, Col, Jan. 5.-From reports current in Denver and substantiated by private advices from Ouray, it ap- pears that Ouray and San Miguel coun- ties are on the verge of a miners strike that may surpass the one now in prog ress in Leadville, caused by the impor- tation of non-union miners from Mis- souri into the Virginius mine and Reve- nue tunnel, about nine miles west of Ouray. Early in Decent Der there was strike at the tunnel and mine, and several attempts to settle it amicably proved ineffective Between 400 and 600 miners were engaged about Joplin, Mo, to take the places of the strikers. The strikers are members of the miners union, and it seems probable that following the in ntroduction of non- union labor a general strike will be ordered. There are 2,500 miners in Ouray and San Miguel counties, most of whom belong to the union.
