slight injuries. although the engine was
completely overturned.
The "0wl" was due TO pass IngomAr 1t
Sis O'Clock. She was on time. She was
laundering slong at . speed Of sixty-ive
miles an hour, the rate maintained be-
tween Tracy and Fresno. when she rounded
the curve and came suddenly upon q band
Of sheep.
They had strsysd from their herder's
camp, O half Q mile away, and had sought
the elevated soadbed, which afforded them
. dryer and more comfortable resting
place than the rain soaked and muddy
levels near BY. Huddled as close together
- 10 was possible for them TO lie, they
occupied ths space between and on each
side Of the rails for Q distance Of more
than 200 feet along the way. Every car
but ,he diner, which remained on the track,
rushed of a. Q tangent and pastthe engine
their wheels partly on the ties and partly
In the mud, most Of the cars left In their
trucks but none was overturned. The
locomotive turned q complete somersault,
landing in the soft earth twenty feet away.
Engineer William M. Woods WAS found
where he had been caught between the
cylinder head and the lever. He was al
ready scalded and fatally injured when be
was ssnderly taken from his post. The
fireman had been on the upper side OF the
cab as il lunged over, and he succeeded in
getting out with comparatively little in
jury 70 himself.
Woods lived for ten minutes after he
was rescued. He was conscious 10 the
last and exclaimed just before be died:
what will my poor wife and two children
do now?" Both OF his legs were broken
| below the knees and he WAS completely
disembowled. The fireman was found
| under the engine. His nose was broken
| and he had received q few bruises on the
head.
Yesterday morning the remains Of Will
| liam M. Woods were brought to Oakland
and placed in undertaking parlors. Tit
| dead engineer resided at 1472 Twelfth
street, Oakland. His young widow and
| their two little girls, one 2 and the other
8 years Of age, survive him. Engineer
| Woods was @ brother-in-lsw OF Granville
| D. Abbott, q w~ell-known young railroad
| Official residing in Nevada. He was q
| member Of the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers. He had been employed
by the railroad for eighteen years and was
81 years OF age. His associates and his
| superiors rated him as one Of the best and
most trusted engineers on the road.
He was not regularly attached TO The
"Owl" train, but had been relieving the
regular engineer for . few days. His wifi
| had been afraid an accident would HAPPIER
10 the fast train and he had promised her
| that this would be his last run on thu

MAX BROCKHAUs Hanged.
Accomplice In Wilton Murder Meets
Death without IA Tremor.

Hartford, Sept. 6.--For the eighth
time the automatic gallows at the state
prison at Wethersfield has been utilized
to enforce the full penalty of the law
and the last victim, Frederick Max
Broekhaus, was hanged shortly after
1915 o'clock this morning. AS has been
the case on every previous occasion, the
automatic gallows operated perfectly
and while this was the first execution
that Warden Garvin ever conducted it
proved very successful and was not
marked by the slightest gruesome de-
tail. The drop fell at 1916 eighteen
seconds after the condemned man had
crossed the threshold of the execution
chamber, and ten minutes and thirty
seconds later he was pronounced dead
and the body was lowered into the cas-
ket provided by the state. The con-
demned man was not conscious a sec
ond after the rope frightened and
snapped his body into the air, as his
neck was instantly broken.
Brockhaus was hanged for completely
in the murder of Daniel N. S. Lambert
of Wilton. December II, 1897, and his
partner in the crime, Benjamin f. Will
lis was hanged on the same gallows,
December 80, 1898. The condemned man
went to his death without a tremor and
apparently was the least nervous of
any assembled in the execution cham
Der. OF late the prisoner had stoutly
maintained his innocence, although sew
eral times he had confessed his part in
the crime, and one Of his confessions
were made on the witness stand during
his own trial, but at the last moment he
only said to Chaplain Hall that he had
been unfairly treated during his trial
During his months stay in state prison
Brockhaus gained forty pounds and he
weighed Ill pounds as he stepped on
the gallows. During his last day on
earth he was almost constantly smoking
even while assisting in the
religious exercises. The remains will
be buried in the prison cemetery this
where they will remain unless
the parents, who reside in New York,
desire to remove them.

Newport News va, Sept, 5.-The first

trip to-day made record of seventeen
and one-quarter knots, which speed was

Those interested in the construction of

in filthy condition, having been in
the water continuously for thirteen
months, The steam and hand steering
gear was subjected to the most severe
tests and 1t is stated that the vessel re-
sponded to her wheel almost as readily
as a steam yacht. She made a semi
circular turn in two and a fourth min
utes. Captain Folger, who is to com
mand the Karsarge and the other ma
val officers on board expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the result

Newport, r. l., Aug. 5.-In the finest
kind of sailing breeze to-day the cup
defender Columbia defeated the De

On the run home with spinnakers set

her rival. The wind was about eight
knots from southeast by south at the
start and freshened steadily as the af-
ternoon wore on, so that the boats fin
ished in a twelve knot breeze There
were only two or three yachts outside
to witness the race because of the horse
show, and the new boat had the worst
of the start, but it was great exhibit

Secretary Thrasher Declares the Gov
ernor did Not Instigate 1t.

In view of the many statements
which have been published in regard to
the raid at Charter Oak park last Sat
urday, involving the name of Governor
Lounsbury, which Secretary Thrasher
of the state Law and Order league says
are incorrect, the secretary tonight
made the following statement: II wish
to say emphatically that the governor
did not instigate the raid, nor did he
know my plan of action; neither could
any utterance of mine warrant these
rumors. After the appeals were made
to us for assistance, I wrote to the gov
ernor, telling him of the complaints I
had received and that we proposed to
look into the matter, but could wish
more moral and official support. Gov
ernor Lounsbury's reply has been pub
lished. He expresses sincere sympathy
with our efforts to enforce the law, re-
gardless of locality. In no sense is the
governor responsible for the raid His
letter is but another expression of his
we'll known attitude toward the author
ity Of the law"

INTI-IMP ERA lists MEET.
A Very Successful u1lic DemOnstra-
ton In Spring field.


Springfield, Mass, Sept. 5.-The first
public demonstration of the ant-im-
perialists of this city in the Court
Square theater, this evening, was very
successful from an anti-administration
standpoint. The speakers, Judge A. A.
Putnam of Uxbridge, Daniel E. Leary
of this city and Ex-Governor George S.
Boutwell, of Massachusetts, were all
heartily and frequently applauded. OF
the 1,500 people who did not quite fill
the seats perhaps majority were an
ti-imperialists. Save for a few cries
there was nothing to mark the andiennA
as being any other than all on the side
of the speakers The distinct surprise
of the evening came when at the close
of Mr.. BoutwelFs address a motion was
made that a committee be appointed
to further the organization of a local
society Of anti-imperialists to be called
THE Connecticut Valley Patriots" The
motion was carried with but little dis
sent, the opposition not caring to make
itself appreciably known. The even.
ing opened with medley of patriotic
airs in which Hail to the Chief" in
tended as a compliment to Ex-Governor
Boutwell,, was prominent. The COVER
nor was greeted with three cheers,

CRITICAL STEP BY LABORI
APPEALS no EMPEROR WILLIAM
AND KING HUMBERT.

| Col. Panizzardi be Permitted to Testi.
| fy-ActiOn Fraught with Momentous
| COnsequcnces-Trial May End sud-
denly.
Rennes' Sept. 5.-M. Labori this after
noon telegraphed personal appeals to
| emperor William and King Humbert
to grant permission to Colonel
SchWartzkoppen and Colonel Panizzar-
di, German and italian attaches in
Paris in 1894, to come to Rennes to tes-
tify in the trial of Dreyfus This is the
news of the day and the chief topic Of
conversation in the cafes and restau-
rants this evening. The appeals were
couched in eloquent terms, invoking the
assistance of their majesties In the
name of justice and humanity. They
are quite supplementary to the formal
application that will be made by the
government commissary, Major Car
rieTe.
The demand of Maitre Labori that
the court-martial should issue pro-
cess subject to the approval of the
two sovereigns, came like a thunder
bolt al to-day's session. The step is
fraught with momentous consequences,
as it affords Emperor William an op-
portunity to assume his favorite role of
arbiter of the destinies Of the world.
No one will be surprised if Colonel
Schwartzkoppen, in the name of the
Kaiser, makes declaration that will
practically decide the result of the trial.
Both Schwartzkoppen and Panizzardi
must consult their respective sovereigns
before starting, but the counsel for
Captain Dreyfus fully expect them to
arrive here, if they come at all, in time
to give their testimony on Thursday in
which case the trial would probably be
concluded this week and the verdict de-
livered on Friday or Saturday. This Is
the view that obtains here tonight
Colonel Jouaust told M. Demange at
the close of the session that if he re-
ceived official notification that Colonels
Schwartzkoppen and Panizzardi were
coming to depose, he would be prepared
to adjourn the trial pending their ar
rival. An adjournment of forty-eight
hours would probably give them time
to get here. A remarkable circun-
stance and one that is significant of the
relations between the two advocates
who are conducting the defence is the
fact that Maitre Labori telegraphed the
German emperor and the king of Italy
on his own initiative, without consulting
or advising with M. Demange. The
appearance of Colonels Schwartzkoppen
and Panizzardi would be the most SEN
sational as well as the most important
incident of the trial Their depositions
would be a formal and emphatic declar-
alton that they never had any relations
with the accused and they would make
such a statement that the court might
order an acquittal. Those who are in
the confidence of the counsel entrusted
with the defence express a firm con-
viction that Dreyfus will be acquitted.
