AttOrne. General GriGEs and Paul
Dana Play Mt ROslyn.


Damn Play MT ROslyn.
The gentle game of golf found many
admirers yesterday when Attorney General
Griggs and Paul Dana. son of the late
Charles A. Dana, and editor of the New
York SUM-" played match game and talk
ed puts" and tees and holes.
The game was played on the links of the
Washington Golf Club at Roslyn, Va,
and was witnessed by many lovers Of the
ancient Scotch pastime. Both Mr.. Griggs
and Mr.. Dana are experts, and while the
fact that the match was to be played was
kept secret, goodly assemblage of mem
bers of the club were present
The two players drove to the links in
the Attorney Generals carriage and be-
gan play about 3:30 Each gentleman was
attired in loose golfing outfits, and went
to work without any preliminary exercise.
Mr. Griggs played first and sent his ball
far down the course close 10 a hazard -
Mr.. Dana's luck was better. but within
three puts both were playing close to a
hazard This was called playing two

When the caddies who we're young COL
ored men, with strong Scotch accents, had
begun to perspire, it was decided to play
''foursome. Messrs. Griggs and Dana then
an alliance against A. ). fdTSOuSi
and Worthington c. Ford, the latter for
merly Chief of the Treasury Bureau.
The four are men with long and brilliant
golf records, and the game was closely
played Attorney General Griggs was
known as a golf leader in New Jersey, Mr..
Dana has made his mark Mr. Ford is the
best of all the good Harvard players, and
A. j. Parsons has devoted many years TO
a study of the game.
The game required that the playe- s
travel twice around the course, thus COW
ering several miles in making the eighteen
holes The long walks between puts
were enliyened with ''gowf' talk and ta'es
of golf prowess. Finally Mr.. Griggs made
brace of bad plays and gave long lead
to the opponents. This lead was held
until the last hole, when Mr.. Griggs
| missed and Mr.. Dana scored easily. The
score as related in golf parlance was in
favor of Messrs. Parsons and Ford and
stood up and to play.
The players returned to the clubhouse
tired and sunburnt and enjoyed pleasant
lunch. The party returned to the city at I
O'Clock last night, and Mr.. Dana left fol
| New York on an early train.
The Attorney General declared after the
round that he had never played a worse
game in his life. Half dozen golf sticks
were smashed during the afternoon.

There was absolutely no defect in the
track, and no obstacle other than the
snow. The fact that the tracks were
improperly cleaned and clogged with
snow. doubtless oceasioned the car to
jump its tracks.
On examination of the tracks 'immedi-
ately after the accident, they were
in somt places completely hidden and
lost to sight under covering of slush
Other train crews who inspected the
place of the accident say that the clog
ging snow and ice is the only plausible
solution to the mystery, and that a
car has frequently been known to
jump a slippery track, where the
groove is so filled up as to allow no
hold,
Another theory is that one of the
trucks broke. But that is hardly cred
tied. II that had been the case, 1t Is
argued, how could the car have tray
eled 81 feet at high speed over boards
before topping off into the water.
Then, too, the trucks that have been
examined appear to be in good condl-
ton. A thorough examination of the
wreck will be made tomorrow, to see
if any clew can be obtained relative
to the cause of the accident,
The handsome MCGOWAN bridge pre-
scented dilapidated appearance after
the accident. A gap of FIVE yards in

The bridge crosses the Blackstone
river in a handsome span. It is about
100 yards in length, and spans both riy-
er and railroad. Had the car run off
the bridge ten feet cast of where 1t did,
part of it would have fallen on dry
land. AS it is, the car lies very near
the bank. But the water in the Black
stone deepens widely, and was ten feet
deep at the place where the car sank.

VICTIMS OF THE ACCIDENT
Shea Was One of the Oldest EMPLOYEES
On the Road.

Maurice WEIGH, one of the victims is
Fl years old, and lived with his mother
on Elm street, where his body will be
taken as soon as prepared for burial.
He was not regular man, but had
taken position as a spare man about
three months ago, and since that time
had been working on and off. He was
on the day force yesterday, and had
Just got through work and was going
home on the car. He is the youngest of
the three killed, and it was indeed a
pitiable sight to see him stretched out
ON the mattress, last night. He has two
brothers working on the road--James, a
conductor, who has been on the road
five years, and p. H. WEIGH, a con-
ducter also, who has worked on the
road about four years. Both brothers
were at the station last night after the
accident.
c. Il. White, the conductor of the III
fated car, was "a years old, and u resi-
dent of Whitinsville. He has worked
on the road about one year. He was
considered to be a faithful and careful
man by the management, and boarded
with Mrs. Morse on South Main street.
Michael Shea, the motorman, was
about 80 years old. He had worked on
the road for IL years. Superintendent
John P, German, in conversation with
The Spy man last night. said that Shea
was one of the oldest and most trust
worthy employees of the road. He
considered him a careful man in every
particular, and he is almost positive
that whatever the cause of the acct
dent may have been, il was through nc
carelessness on the part of Shea oil
Conductor White, Shea was unmarried
and boarded with Conductor White at
Mrs. Morse's, on South Main street.
A sad feature of Whites death was
the fact that yesterday was his first
day of work after a long vacation
White had Just returned from Whitns-
vile. where he buried his father and
mother. little thinking that in day OF
two he would himself be dead. 1t Is a
singular coincidence that White had a
brother serving in the army who was
drowned in Cuba.
Frank Sheehan, a conductor on the
Millbury branch, was greatly shocked
TO hear Of Whites death. White was at
the time OF his death. running on shee-
hans time. Had it not been for the
merest chance sheehan says, he, and
not White, would have been drowned,

A PRICELESS REGION.

says President Charles w. Eliot in the
Atlantic. 1T is not the loss of the for
ests only that is to be dreaded, but the
loss Of agricultural regions now fertile

hills and mountains, bringing with
them vast quantities of sand and gravel

bridge, OF stone over WIDE bare, dry
river bed. 1t stood some thirty feet
above the bed of the river, and had
once served the needs of a prosperous
population. Marveling at the height of
the bridge above the ground, | asked
the French station master if the river
ever rose to the arches which carried
the roadway of the bridge. His answer
testified to the flooding capacity of the
river and to the strength of the bridge.
He said: 1 have been here four years,

the richest granarieS OF the Roman

He Has No Idea How the Awful Accident
Happened.

Superintendent John p. German told
The Spy man that when the accident
hanpened he was at his home at
Jaoues avenue. He was notified by
telephone. He arrived at the Millbury
station of the Consolidated road about
2F minutes after he received the first
word of the new horror, and had no
idea when questioned by the newspa-
Fer men, as TO the cause Of the ac-
cident
He examined the track on the bridge
and the car lying in the water as thor
oughly as circumstances would per-
nit.
II was one of the first cars placed on
the road and as far as he knew was in
perfect running order.
The general opinion among road men
seemed to be, that one of the wheels
had broken, and as the car had run on
the road a long time, some thought
that 1t was not in the best OF condition
Superintendent German dispelled this
notion, declaring that the cars were ex-
amined every day. He knew of no rea-
son that should give rise to this report
Electric cars, he stated, have a hard
time making runs according to schedule
with conditions like those Of last even
ing. All of the cars were behind tins
at least several minutes.
The bridge, he further stated, had
been recently examined and was found
to be In first class shape, So were the
