DASTARDLY WORK OF TRAMPS
Train Wrecked In New York, Kill
ing Four, Injuring Eight.

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. IA special to
the Herald from Fulton says: Train
No. 5, on the New York, Ontario &
Western railroad, known as the Chi
cago Limited was wrecked at In
gals crossing, four miles south of this
village, at 5 o'clock this morning.. The
wreck was doubtless due to the das-
tardly work of tramps, who threw
open the switch at which the train
was wrecked, as well as two switches
to the north of the wreck.
The train was an hour late and was
running nearly 60 miles an hour when
it struck the switch and was thrown
over to the sidetrack. The rapid speed
made it impossible to make the safety
rail. The engine was thrown 20 feet
and blown to pieces. The tender was
inverted. The trucks of the baggage
car were torn off and the head coach
telescoped the baggage car. A yesti-
buled chair car near and the sleeper
Farragut were derailed, but neither
was badly damaged. Engineer Dowd
and Fireman Hall both jumped and
were found under the wreckage of the
tender by passengers from the sleeper
The body of Brakeman Osborne was
torn in two. There were four killed
and eight injured

WASATCH POLITICIANS.
A Nomination On the Democratic
Ticket An Election.

Heber, Sept. 1.-The Democratic
county convention will be held on
Tuesday, Sept. 6. Between now and
the convention there will undoubtedly
be much work done by the aspirants for
office. A nomination in a Democratic
county convention in WaSatch means
an election. Hon. Joseph r. Murdoch
says he is not a candidate for renomi-
nation for the legislature.
Much interest was taken in the Dem
ocratic primary which was held last
evening in the county court house. For
several years there have been three
precincts in Heber, but recently the
three were verged into one precinct.
Robert Duke was elected chairman,
and Miss Settle Clotworthy secretary,
with John Baird as her assistant. The
following named persons were elected
precinct committee: John A. Forte,
Richard Bridge, Mrs. Joseph A. Ras
band, Mrs. Susie Giles and Mrs. Levina
Hicken. The following were elected
delegates to the county convention:

THE ROBERTS FIGHT BRINGING
COMPLICATIONS.
Cache County Seems to Be In the
Thick of the Battle-Shrewd San
pete Republicans-State Politics.

[From The Heralds Correspondents
Logan, Sept 1.-The fight for Roberts
here is getting decidedly interesting. 1t
has leaked out that at least two wards
in this city, the Third and Fourth, have
been thoroughly canvassed in the in
terests of Roberts; people who are ia
vorable to him having been urgently
requested to attend the primary on
Saturday evening and vote for Roberts
delegates, while those who are known
to be opposed to him are carefully
avoided by these workers. The anti
Roberts men, although they have not
done any active work against him, are
quite as strongly against his nomina-
ton as the other faction is for 1t. They
claim that Roberts on the Democratic
ticket would disrupt the party, and lose
us the election, as far as the congress
man, supreme judge and legislature is
concerned.
w. H. King is looked upon as the
only man who can undo the tangle, and
unless he does so by re-entering the
congressional race, he will lose many
of his staunchest supporters here. The
belief prevails that John Henry Smith
will be the Republican candidate. and
the anti-Roberts people claim that he
will unite the Republicans, while Rob
erts will divide the Democrats, thus in
surfing the defeat of silver and the
party that advocates it. One prominent
Democrat Of the county, Representative
]. Q. ThoreSen, it is said has announced
himself as favoring c. S. Varian for

BOND SYSTEM ASSUMING VAST PROPORTIONS
MILLIONS ACQUIRED BY IRREG-
ULAR MEANS.
Bidders Hired to Sign and Agents
Employed Who Were Paid So
Much Each Subscriber.

Washington, Sept. IA wide inves-
call for subscriptions to government
bonds has been completed by Solicitor
O'Connell of the treasury department,
and today he submitted to Secretary
Gage the mass of testimony on the
transactions. Several thousand sub
scribers were examined. The facts de-
veloped show systematic scheme OPP
Grated by single parties to secure
large amount of the bonds. The inves-
tigation was the outcome of complaints
alleging wrong dealing on the part OF
many bidders. Secretary Gage prompt
ly instituted the investigation and So
licitor O'Connell has today, after sub
hitting his report, held a conference
for two hours with the secretary on
the developments. The reports indi-
cate that millions of dollars in bonds
were acquired by irregular means, and
that number of New York bidders are
involved in the case. Many OF the bids
received from New York are shown to
have been either signed by individuals
who had no direct interest in them and
subscribed their names simply at the
request Of or in consideration of, COM
pensation by other parties, or the bids
bore signatures that were forgeries.
Many of the bidders, it is stated, were
hired to sign, and the system was car
ried so far, the report goes to show,
that virtual agents were employed, who
were paid so much per subscriber, the
last named merely signing his name
and giving the bid with his signature
to the agent or directly to the party
seeking control of large amount of
bids. The report and the exact facts
are withheld from publication at this
time for prudential reasons, but So
licitor O'Connell said today:
There is large amount of fraudu-
lent bids
1t is stated further investigation is
to be made and that the facts devel-
oped will be followed by action by the
secretary. This, may result in re-
fusal to issue the bonds in all cases
found to have been illegal.
Secretary Gage said tonight that the
Investigations showed that a large
amount of the bids offered were not
bona fide, but that in none of the cases
involved in the investigation had the
bonds been issued to the bidders. He
said he had no doubt, however, that in
some instances, as yet undiscovered,
the bonds bid for in a similar way un-
knowingly to the department had been
issued.

EXCEEDINGLY sHREWD.
Republicans of Sanpete Will Wait
For the State Platform.


Mt Pleasant, Sept. 1.-The Republic
an plan of RELOCATING the county con-
vention to the rear until after a state
declaration of principles is made, is
certainly a shrewd move % far as this
county is concerned, for it is more than
possible that the st. Louis platform
would be the model from which the
county Republicans would draft their
platform if given free rein. But, of
course, the state platform will be up
held under the present arrangements.
Republican candidates to date are a
little shy; in fact, many Republicans
admit the great probability of defeat
for the party this fall. In Democratic
ranks there is a different spirit mani
fest. Good Democrats are tumbling
over each other in their efforts to Sc
cure support for the convention. Things
are shaping themselves somewhat,
though. Mayor Ferdinand Erickson of
this city is undeniably the favorite for
the state senate, some of his friends
even predicting his nomination by ac-
clamation. There is a rumor circulat-
ing that Messrs. Hardy and Sorenson
will succeed themselves for the NOM
nations to the legislature. but dark
horses of great strength may appear.
The county Office nominations will in
clude almost all of the present incum-
bents. For the United States senate,
Congressman King is the favorite and
can place the three votes from here
to his credit. For the lower house, B.
II. Roberts is the choice of a major

This was about the time of the visit
of Chairman Wesley K. Walton here,
when the latter and a party of Repub-

evening in a small room at the Clarke
hotel, and when the slate for Carbon

up. During the last few days Miller

as respects Miller and his candidacy.

STAR POINTER FAILED.
Attempted to Beat His Previous
Worlds Record.

Readville, Mass, Sept. lon the
same track on which he made the rec
ord time last year, 1874, Star Pointer
today again tried for a worlds record
OF q mile in harness. but failed 10
equal his performance by half a sec
end.
The enormous crowd saw a mile IN
less than two minutes and 1t is safe TO
say that with slightly different condl-
tions the record would have again peen
broken An hour before Pointer came
out it rained softly for few minutes,
and when, at O'Clock, McCleary drove
en- the track. the drops were still com
ing down. The track, however, was In
good shape. and there was no wind.
With a running mate Pointer made
the quarter in :2991, which gave en-
coura cement. and with the half in :oS,
il looked as if he would do something
terrific The terrific pace was kept up
to the three quarter pole, which was
reached IL 1:2SA, and then came the
question of endurance. The great horse
was urged all through the home stretch,
but did not cutie reach the wire IN
time.
The afternoons sport was the best
of the week, and drew the largest
crowd ever seen at Readville, fully
1000 persons being present.
The 2:05 pace after Pointer, was the
great attraction of the afternoon, and
the crowd saw some fine racing in the
five heats. Little Rumps fought gamely
in three of them, but each time the
son of Baron Wilkes was caught at the
wire. the first time by Roam Wilkes.
the second by Planet, and the third by
Frank Rogash. the latter finally taking
the race. Rumps had to be satisfied
with fourth money. ChehaliS was the
favorite at the beginning of the race,
but Frank Bogash carried him off his
feet in the second heat, and came near
doing it again in the third. Anaconda
did not appear, much to the disappoint-
ment of the talent.
The 2:15 pace was easy for Egozen,
after the first heat, although Flirt and
Hal Wilkes were we'll up in the third
and fourth heats. Macmillan ran away
with Geers after the first heat, max
ing the circuit of the track three times
and throwing the veteran over the
fence. Fortunately, Geers escaped with
a few bruises.
The 1928 trot brought out a dark
horse in George who not only faced
the starter for the first time, but took
all three heats in the easiest possible
manner. The unfinished Massachusetts
stake was finally won by Grattan Boy
During the afternoon Joe Patchen

soon as General Wheeler was notified,
he ordered a salute of Is guns to be
fired, and troops NJ, E, c, H and *, of
The Second regular cavalry, were de-
tailed to escort General Shafter into
camp when he should land.
General Shafter and his staff were
landed from the City of Mexico shortly
before 1 o'clock being taken off in the
the floating dock, some distance away
from the quarantine pier. General
Young was at the pier at the time. The
coming ashore at the float of the COM
mander and his staff was unexpected.
General Wheeler had the cavalry
drawn W at the quarantine pier, and
the guns waiting to salute General
Sha6ter Re was not aware that Gen.
eral Shafter was on shore until General
Shafter and his staff had been drawn
to the detention hospital in carriages.
General Wheeler was a little out out
when he learned that General Shafter
had landed. General Shafter was in
Good health when he came ashore.
On the City of Mexico, beside the
genera! and his staff, came one COM
pany of the First regular infantry. No
report as to their condition has been
made.
1t was difficult to get near General
Shafter at the detention camp, but the
commander of the Santiago campaign
sent word TO the CORRESPONDENTS that
he was glad to be on American soil
once more. but was sorry to learn that
so many of his men had died and were
still sick at Montauk. He said, how
ever. that had the troops remained in
Santiago they would have Jared much
worse.
General Shafter is now, strictly
speaking, by reason of rank, in COM
mand of Camp Wikoff, but he will not
assume the reins of control until his
term in the detention camp is finished.
