A Desperate Fight.

Messrs. James McCloude and
James Hartley, while fishing for
"nud fish," in the North Edisto, a
short while ago hooked and captured
a amonstrous alligator, after a desperate
and thrilling struggle. The monster
was hooked in the fore leg, but before
it could be shot, broke loose. Deter
mined to safely land their game, Mr..
Hartley grabbed it by the leg and
held him while Mr.. McCloude ended
the struggle by putting two rifle
balls in the alligator's body. He
measured seven feet and nine inches
and weighed two hundred pounds.

Appalling Disaster at COhOes,
New York.
THE DEATHS WERE MANY
Eighteen Passengers Killed and More
of Them Will Die-Happy Pick
nickers Suddenly Hurled Into
Eternity.

CoHoEs, N. Y, Sept. 5.-An appalling
disaster occurred in this city tonight.
Shortly before O'Clock troIley-car of
the Troy City Railway Company was
struck by the night boat special of the
Delaware & Hudson at a crossing at the
west end of the Hudson river bridge,
which connects the city with Lansing
burg, and It's load of human freight was
hurled into the air. Eighteen of tle
thirty five passengers are dead. and at
least ten more will die.
The cars entering the city from Lans-
ingburg were crowded with passengers
from picnic at Rennsaelaer's Park, a
pleasure resort near Troy. 1t was car
No. 1872 of the Troy City railway that
met with disaster. 1t came over the
bridge about Z 80 o'clock ladened with a
merry party of people, fresh from the
enjoyment of the day.
The motor car was struck directly In
the center by the engine of the train,
which was going at high rate of speed.
The accident came without the slightest
warming. The car was upon the track
before the train loomed in sight, and no
power on earth could have saved it. The
motorman evidently saw the train ap-
preaching as he reached the track, and
opened his controller, but in vain. With
a crash that was heard for blocks the
engine struck the light car. The Effect
was horrible. The motor car parted in
two, both ends being thrown into the
air in splinters.
The mass of humanity, for the car was
crowded to overfowing, was torn and
mangled. Those in the front of the car
met with the worst fate. The force of
the collision was there felt the worst, ,and
every human being in that section was
killed.
The scene was horrible. Bodies had
teen hurled into the air, and their
headless and limbless trunks were found
in some case as far as fifty feet from the
crossing.
The pilot of the engine was smashed,
and amid the wreckage were the manned
corpses of two women. The passengers
experienced no injury, except the shock.
The majority of the passengers on the
trolly-car were young people, most Of
them being women.

ACCIDENT TO
THE IOWA
Engine Room Said to Have Been
Partly Flooded During the Pro-
cess of Floating the Big
Battle-ship.

New YORK, Sept. 5.-The Tribune
Gays:
An accident occurred on the battle
ship Iowa yesterday in drydock No. 8, at
the Brooklyn navy-yard the, extent of
which could not be learned last night
on account of the reticence of the officers
of the yard. 1t was reported that the
flooded by the entrance of water through
an open sea cock as the ship was being
hoated.
AS near as could be learned from the
stories afoat last night, the officials got
ready to float the Iowa in the drydock,
where she had been for the last three or
four days, and the valves in the caisson
at the end of the drydock were opened.
The water poured in through the valves
and at least one of the sea cocks or in
lection valves in the Iowa's hull was
either open or insecurely fastened, so
that the force from the outside pushed
the cock valve back and the water
gushed into the hull of the vessel.
AS soon as those on board the Iowa
ulSCONeEeu InaG wafer was entering the
ship signal was given to close the
caisson valves, and this was done with
as great promptness as possible. Mean
while there was sufficient water in the
dock to enter the engine-room of the
battle-ship, and it was impossible to
promptly force the cock shut while the
water was going in.
As soon as possible the cocks were
closed and an examination was made of
the damage. Just what the damage
amounts to will not be known until today
1t was said that enough water was not
let into the dock to come any way near
floating the ship, and that she is resting
on her keel blocks the same as she was
before the water was turned on. The
pumping of the water out of the dock is
a matter of only a short time, and the
officers seen would not admit that any
accident had taken place.

WIKoFF, Sept. 5.-The transport Rou-

on the ships of his command. The
American squadron and Admiral Dew
eye men will get only 500 for each per-
son.
1t is estimated the aggregate amount
due the Asiatic fleet as the result of the
Spanish forces is $1S7 500, which con-
gress will be asked to appropriate dur
ing the coming session. One-twentieth
of the sum belongs to Admiral Dewey as
Communicated chief, and he will there
fore, be $9375 richer than he was before
the war.
Rear-Admirai Sampson has realized a
snug little fortune as a result of the war,
As commander-in.c chief of the North At
lantic feet he will get one-twentieth of
the head money allowed for the vessels
destroyed off Santiago and in Cuban
ports. 1t is estimated that he will final
ly receive about $4,000 as his share Of
the prize money.
In determining the amount of head
money due officers and men, it will be
necessary for the department to decide
whether a vessel destroyed is superior
or inferior to her antagonist. If the lat
ter, the American ship will be entitled
to 5000 for each person on board the
enemy. OF course, this will swell the
amount of prize money due the rear

SITTING
THIS WEEK
Fifth Member of the American Board
Will be Appointed at Once and
Organization Will Follow
Promptly.

New YORK, Sept. 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
1t is stated by administration officials
now in Washington that the fifth mem
Der of the American peace com mission
will be chosen the early part of the
present week, and that the first session
of the full body would be held in the
state department in the latter part of
the week, to study the important work
from the President.
President KcKinley will be in Wash
ington on Tuesday and the cabinet meet
ing to be held on that day will un-
dou btedly consider draft of the in
structions which the president and
Secretary Day haYe been considering
since they left Washington.
Acting Secretary Moore expects to
have ready for commission to the COM
mittee all the data relating to the pro-
positions which it is possible to obtain
and statement of the claims arising
in Cuba which have been submitted by
Americans.
It can be stated on excellent authority
that Justice White has not officially ac-
cepted the appointment as a mem ber of
the peace commission. The question is
still open, and this would seem to indi-
cate that there is chance of the justice
accepting membership on the commits
sion. 1t is known, however, that Mr..
Mckinley has several prominent men
in view in case Justice White declines.
1t is said that the French embassy
has not yet informed the state depart
ment of the appointment of the Spanish
commissioners. 1t is not expected that
the Madrid government will transmit
this information until the receipt of the
names of American representatives,
which will be sent on Tuesday. In de-
laying the announcement of the names
of her representatives, Spain, it is said, :,
desires to show that Difference which
should properly be paid to the victor by
the vanquished.
