ALL'S WELL AGAIN.
Happy Finale to The Flynn stone wan
Case.


The sewerage work in the First ward
by which Peach alley and Limerick street
were connected by a link three and hall
feet square is finished and there will be no
more trouble over Flynn's stone wall The
new link changes the course Of the much
disputed water way at Peach alley and con
ducts it in southeasterly direction across
the rear Of the several lots fronting on
Centre street, Independent Of Mr. Flynn's
property. Connection with the old culvert is
made on limerick street. The top aud bot
tom of the sewer are covered with heavy
hagstones and the sides are built up with
stone, making a very substantial piece Of
work. It has cost considerable money.
but the property owners will never again
suffer from the nuisances Of the past two
years. Mr.. Flynn's stone wall is still stand
ing, but can cause no more trouble. The
yards and cellars that were flooded on ac-
count Of the obstruction have also been put
in condition and all the residents Of the
vicinity are happy. The torn up parts Of
limerick street have also been repaired and
Mr.. Flynn's sidewalk got a good aagstone
covering through the movement.
Property owners who have sewer connec-
tions with the stream contributed to the fund
to defray the expense. The School Board
donated 500 for the purpose, while Swift &
Co. gave $50.

20 Poughkeepsie. We boarded the train
at that place and took a seat in the
coach. Three other people got on at
Poughkeepsie. One was a woman and
the two others were men, one of whom
looked like a railroad employe. As
near as I can judge there were is peo-
pie In the coach, most of them being
women and children, and nearly all
were asleep. Myers and / sat in the
middle Of the car. When the crash
came the car gave great lurch, and
rolled over on its side. The water
rushed in and almost instantly the
lights went out. 1 knew we were in
the river, and the car seemed to plough
through the water for some time after
1t was submerged.
THE car tilted over on one side, and
] managed to reach the fanlight over
head and cling to It until help came.
Passengers Drowned Like Rats.
Il heard people I'm the back part Of
the car groaning as If they were pinned
fast. 1t was so dark that I could see
no one, and L think the passengers
must have been drowned like rats.
After a while, it seemed an age, 1 heard
people on top Of the car and an ak
crushed through the roof. Soon they
had hole cut IN the roof and pulled
me out through 1t. A man and a boy
Gather and SOM were also rescued in
the same way, hut know of no other
occupants of the coach escaping"
Augustus Kah, a German living near
the scene Of the wreck, gives this de-
scription:
1T was about five minutes before
when I was awakened by some one in
my yard calling for help. Looking out
of my window / saw a sleeping car
porter who shouted: For Gods sake
man, IL you own boat, come quickly.
Our train is in the river and people
are drowning.
Il dressed myself and accompanied
by the porter got into my rowboat and
rowed around the curve to where the
train was in the river. When we
reached the cars, which were sub
merged nearly to their roofs, the en-
glne being entirely out Of sight, the
crews of the tugboat were making ef-
forts to save the passengers. The first
man I saw them take out was, I think,
the agent of the express car. The first
persons we succeeded in rescuing were
two Cinnamon, who were sitting on the
broken. We put them ashore and then
took three more persons off the top
of another car. At the same time people
in their 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
as possible. want to say that the por-
ters, although frightened, showed great
bravery and saved many lives"
Five men were rescued from the top
Of a floating car a few minutes after
the accident. They were put on a train
and taken to Peeksltill, about ten miles
down the road. They were admitted to
the Helping Hand hospital, where their
wounds were dressed OF the five three
were Cinnamon, and none were fatytly
injured.

SENSITIVE SPAIN
CAUSES SURPRISES.
Washington officials Sly Sagas-
ta's Last Attitude Is
Unjustifable.
THAT CHARGE OF NEGLIGENCE.
Nothing in General WOOdford's Note to
Justify the Attitude Of
Spain.

Washington, Dec. 27.- Officials here
are somewhat surprised at the exhi-
bition of feeling at Madrid over the
latest note of Minister W0odfOrd, de-
livered to the Spanish foreign office
the day before Christmas. While the
note itself will not be made public at
present, 1t is said that there is no
reason whatever why it should be
withheld, save that the preceding
steps in the negotiations have not yet
seen light In the newspapers, and it is
desirable, when publication is made,
to preserve the complete chain Of
events in the natural order, Possibly
the correspondence will be shortly
called fer by congress, in which case
1t is not likely to be withheld on the
ground of public policy.
The last note presented by Minister
Woodford was in answer TO the Spanish
note called forth by Mr.. Woodford's
very first note after his arrival at
Madrid In the initial note the United
Sta as Minister pointed out the inter-
est of his country in the early termi
nation Of the present struggle in Cuba,
and asked when such conclusion could
be expected. The Spanish Government,
IN reply, acknowledged our interest in
the matter, but suggested, after stat
ing that 1t intended to ameliorata the
conditions IN Cuba, that the United
States could best exercise its good
offices by stopping fiIbustering. To
this, General WOodford responded
with hIs note of last week. 1t is seid
to be purely argumentative state
ment Of the position taken by the
United States, and the facts are sub
stantiaily those so strongly drawn In
the presidents message to Congress,
OF which it was supposed the Spanish
had been fully advised through the
newspapers.
