Officials.

New York, September g. The transports
OLDHAM, having on board Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, commanding general of the United
States army, and his staff, and the
transport Chester, with Gen. Schwan
and staff, and the 4th Pennsy lvania regi-
ment, arrived in port today. There was
also on the OLDHAM nine companies of the
2nd Wisconsin volunteers with 800 mem
and 28 officers. They sailed from Ponce,
Porto Rico, at p. m, September ].
When the big transport was half way
up the bay today, she was met by light
er carrying soups, milk and nutritious
food for every officer and man on the
ship. As she pulled alongside, General
Miles himself, looking the picture Of
health, came on deck.
When asked If he had anything to say
in regard to the action of the war depart
ment in refusing to permit the veterans
of the Porto Rican campaign to parade
through the streets of New York, he
shook his head in a very decided manner.
He also refused to say anything concern
ing the criticisms which Secretary Alger
has made in his absence.
The arrival of Gen. Miles will, In all
probability bring to head at once the
trouble which for some weeks past has
been brewing between the commanding
general and the war department. officials.

| the south pier gave away at its founda-
ton, causing both spans to fall into about
sixty feet of water. The names of the
| killed and drowned cannot at present be
ascertained as they were mostly from
Pennsylvania excepting few Indians
| from the st. Regis reservation.
The bridge was Oeing built across the
St. Lawrence river at the foot of Long
Saulte rapids near Reinhart's island. The
water at this point is as swift as in any
| part of tho river The immediate cause
Of the giving away of the spans seems to
have been tho washing away OF one OF the
large piers. The pier in question was be-
gun when the work was hrst started last
fall and work was continued all winter
and finished this summer. The contract
work was in charge Of Messrs. Sooy,
Smith g. Co., we'll known as extensive
; anll careful contractors in their line and
known to have had instructions from the
railroad company TO build for 'perma-
Bsncy."
The pier had been accepted as perfectly
reliable and safe. 1t would seem from
this that the swiftness OF the current was
undereSt1mated.
Later reports from Cornwall hospital
says thirty three men have been taken
out of the river at the bridge wreck and
transferred to the hospital. Eighteen OF
them have since died.
A'&@AE1
days tragedy makes it probable that the
death list will reach fully thirty. AS far
as can be learned eighty seven men were
on the pay roll, of whom eighty-two re-
ported for work this morning. OF this
list only thirty-eight have actually been
accounted for. Allowing that some of
those unaccounted for will turn up after
the excitement, the probable list of dead
and injured will in all likelihood reach
over rs and may reach thirty. Among
those thrown into the river was the fore
man, Thomas Il. Brady or Bricerly whose
home Ia in Pottsville, Pa. He has not
been accounted for up to late hour to-
night and is suppose to be in the bottom
of the river. All efforts to get list of
the names of the workmen and those
missing, have proved futile as yet Every
thing was in state of great excitement
all the afternoon and the effort of all was
to care for the injured ones and get them
to Cornwall hospital as fast as possible.
just before dark the dead body of an
Indian laborer was picked up on the
Cornwall side. There was only slight
bruise on his forehead. He probably was
stunned by the fall and drowned before
help came.

Two Fatally Injured and Many Others
More or Less Hurt.

and Hartford railroad from Boston, one
from Park Square station and the other
from the Kneeland street station came
into collision at Whittenton junction
about two miles above the station here,
just before eight o'clock tonight and in
the wreck which followed of one of the
cars of the Park Square train, fifteen per-
sons were more or less injured. one of
whom Harry W. Mcintyre, has since died
and another, Nicholas Young, is not ex.
pected to live. The trains from the two
Boston stations are due here about five
minutes apart, the Xneeland street first.
The Park Square train lost time on the
way down and arrived at the junction
five minutes late or at time when the
Kneeland street train was due. The
engineer of the Park Square train on ap-
proaching the junction slowed down, but
kept on for the switch as the signals on
his line were apparently set at safety.
just as this train reached the switch, the
headlight of the engine OF tho hneeland
street station flashed round the curve and
a sharp whistle startled the train men on
both trains,
On the other hand the Kneeland street
train did not slow up to any great exfen6
but went on and crashed into the Park
Square train. The engine of the Kneeland
street train struck the third car of the
Park street train and tearing it from the
forward trucks tilted it on its side, on the
tracks. The blow was a glancing one
and the engine kept on to the next car
which was a combination baggage and
smoker. Nearly the entire left side of
this car was torn off, with all the seats
and those who occupied them. The
smoker was filled and it was from this
that nearly all the injured were taken.
The ltghus on the passenger coach which
was over on it's side, and the smoker,
which was almost a mass of ruins, went

REVISION ASSURED.

Paris, September 6.-Figaro today says
that Gen. Saussier refused to accept the
war portfolio because he has been con-
nected, as military governor of Paris,
with the Dreyfus case and he therefore
considered that he should leave to anoth-
er the settlement Of this matter.
The newspapers counrm the report that
the acceptance by Gen. Zurlinden, mill
tary governor of Paris of the ministry Of
war, was due to President Faure's insis-
tence.
Some of the papers praise his acceptance
of the office under the existing difficult
ties of the situation and attack NJ. Ca
vaignac, the late minister for war, de-
claring that his action in resigning was
tactless and illogical.
The newspapers regard the revision of
the Dreyfus case as being assured, and
that the prisoner s counsel will now make
strenuous efforts to secure public re-
trial.
The Matin says that Col. Picquart yes
terday signed demand for the provision

Peter Clark, General Superintendent OF

road officials arrived from Boston at nine
O'Clock and Immediately began an in
yestigation of the wreck Mr.. Clark said
to an Associated Press reporter:
1t looks very much as though the
engineer Of the Mansfield train mistook a
white light in the signal tower for the
home signal covering theEswitch and dis
covered his mistake when he struck the
switch. There he stopped just as the tram
from the Kneeland street station, Whlch
we find, had the right of way, came
around the curve. The latter engineer
did not discover the Mansfield train until
he was upon it and ran into it. although
with reduced speed. l do not like to make
a positive statement. but this is how IL
looks to us now. and 1 can see nothing
which can modify this view"

Cornwall, Ont, September GA most
appalling disaster occurred near mere To-
day and it's result will probably make
death list to forty to fifty. The great
railroad bridge now being erected across
the st. Lawrence by the New York and
Ottawa railroad. gave away about noon,
sending upwards of sixty workmen down
with the debris into the mighty rushing
river. sixty feet below. That q single
man survives is almost marvellous.
Thirty three of the victims have been
brought to the hospital here and eighteen
of these are dead. 1t is believed that over
twenty yet remain in the river and it Is
expected that the death roll will not be
completed for many days. The workmen
were largely from the New York side OF
the river and it is almost impossible to
obtain their names. IA number OF the
victims were Indians from the famous St.
Regis tribe, whose reservation is, in the
Northwestern part of Franklin county.
An eve witness to the terrible affair says
he was sitting on the bank of the river
Watching the busy workmen above him,
when suddenly, without warning, there
came fearful crash, two spans OF the
bridge collapsed; the immense mass OF
timbers and iron dropped down and the
agonizing shrieks of the men who we're
being crushed in the wreck were drowned
by the rushing waters. Then he saw
floating bodies coming to the surface and
the work of rescue began. This was
hopelessly Inadequate, there being only
few boats in the vicinity and very few
men who would undertake to swim out
into the turbulent waters. Many who
might have been saved were drowned be-
fore help could reach them. Piteous ap-
pealing faces sank beneath the waters be-
fore the eyes of helpless on-lookers.
Broken bodies came to the surface for
moment and then passed out Of sight,
perhaps forever. 1t was terrible and
heart-rending scene. Even those who
were got to land alive were in such con-
dition that many died on the way to the
hospital. Some had their backs broken;
others both legs. while others were
crushed by the heavy irons. The town is
