the latter had not cleared the main
line and the flyer crashed through
it. running fifty miles an hour.
The accommodation for Boulder
was seventeen minutes behind
time, and Conductor McAllister,
anticipating the approach of the
flyer, sent hagman back to warn
it, but on account of the fog, which
was prevailing at the time, the
engineer of the passenger did not
see the hagman's lantern. The
coach of the Boulder train con-
tanned six section hands who we're
seriously hurt and three women
and several others on the car were
injured.
The rescuers were greatly hand
icapped by the flames which spread
rapidly, Notwithstanding the rapid
work of the Brighton fire depart
ment which had a stream of water
playing on the flames.
The injured persons were given
all possible attention by the resi-
dents Of Brighton and were brought
to this. city on special train about
noon today.
The burning cars were not ex-
tinguished until 7:3O, and il was
not until then that the search for the
injured and missing could be pros
ecuted success ully. Conductor
McAllister became demented in
the midst of the excitement and
was restrained with great effort
from Jumping into the flames.
The express messenger, Winfield
Randleman, was burned to death
while hundred people tried to
rescue him. The smell of his
burning flesh caused many of the
rescuers to become so ill that they
were unable to render any assist
ance. The fireman and engineer
of the flyer stuck to their posts
and We're only slightly hurt, al
though the engine ploughed thro'
four cars. They were protected by
the framework of the cab and got
out before the steam, which would
have scalded them to death. began
to escape. The wreck was remark
able for the miraculous escape of
bout fifty people, who might have
been killed instantly.

all denied it when questioned about it.

Records for 1898 of the Centur!

New York. May 1.-THE long delayed
records of 1898 Of the Century Road Club
of America have at last been announced
by Walter Faraday, Chairman of the 1898
Roads Records Committee. The dstinc-
tion of having covered the greatest dis
tance goes to George G. Weber, of Toledo.
who is credited with riding 3S,27S miles
last year, making a daily average OF
104 5-6 miles. Irving Harrison, of Hack
ensack, n. j., takes second place with 80,
OBS miles. The century competition was
won by Charles w. Harkins, of Jersey
City, who scored 105 trips over 100 mile
course. Mrs. George Bunker, of Chicago.
has secured second place in the century
record with an even one hundred to her
credit. The third century rider is C. W
| Heaton, of Cleveland, who covered thirty
eight of the long trips. All the members
! who went more than 5000 miles during tbs
year will receive certificates of meritor-

GAMES TODAY.
Washington Mt Brooklyn.
New York at Philadelphia.
Baltimore mt Boston.
Cincinnati at Pfttsburg.
ST. Louis at Cleveland.
Louisville at Chicngo.

Rain interfered with the game sched-
d;ed to take place at Brooklyn yesterday
between the Senators and Superbas, but
II the weather is propitious the clubs
will clash today Dinneen will probably
do the twirling for Irwin's team, and the
young mans record in the last few games
in which he has participated holds cut
faint hope that he Will pitch the Senators
10 victory. The longed-for brace in the
work OF the Washingtons seems to have
come, and Wednesdays contest was rat
Ting good exhibition of how the game
ought to be played. The SHIFT in the make
up of the Senators in and outfield seems
to have brought about wonders.
Cassidy's work at first was not of the
saffron complexion which characterized his
exhibitions al third base. Mercer played
third, and his record in the error column
was not as bad as that of his predecessor.
All the boys seem TO have regained con-
fdence in themselves and showed up well
at the bat. If the Senators capture one
of the remaining games with the Brooklyns
they will be welcomed home by a large
crowd of enthusiastic fans on Monday,
when Washington plays Boston at National
Park.
President Earle Wagner has placed the
official quietus on the rumor that games
were to be transferred from Washington
and the report has been relegated to the
shades of obscurity. On yesterday y. E.
Young, President of the National League,
received telegram from Mr.. Wagner, in
which ii was positively stated that such a
move as the transfer OF games was not in
contemplation. When the rumor became
current that Washington was to be wiped
of the baseball map, President Young
wrote Mr.. Wagner enquiring il it was his
intention to transfer the games with Bos-
ton scheduled to take place here TO tSe
home of the Beaneaters- President Young
desired TO know in order that he might as
sign his umpires correctly. Mr.. Wagner
wired yesterday that he had no thought oi
such q thing. and characterized the report
as a fake.
The idea of transfer of games has
aroused much interest in Washington. Mr.
Wagner has been censured without reason
He has never said that he would transfer
games, but the report gained much ere
dence before an authoritative denial was
entered. Now that the croakers have beer
silenced. the fans should get together an
root for the Senators. Their conlilence
Will not be misplaced.

GALLAUDET EASILY BEATEN.
Gcorgetown's Triumph in Series of
UninterestinE Innings.

Georgetown defeated Gallaudet in a one
Sideda game yesterday on the Georgetown
Field. The Gallaudets were simply out
classed from start to finish. The final
score was IS to 1, but it could easily have
been made larger on Georgetown's side.
The only score made by Gallaudet came in
the eighth inning on a base on balls by
Kenna, a passed bill by Hindle, and hit
by Chambers.
The blue and gray pitchers were given a
chance today in toto. Bach, White, and
Kenna pitched three innings each, with
honors even. Cranston and Hindle both
caught and neither allowed a stolen base.
The feature of the game was the great
base running of the Georgetown players.
They tailed up total of thirteen bases.
Fleming padded up his already fat batting
average by cracking out five hits. and Haf-
| ford and 0'Hara hit very effectively.
Walsh deserves credit for a remarkably
clever bunt which dropped right in front
of the plate. Moran played wonderful
! fielding game and Bach went to first when
he got through pitching and proved an ex-
cellent man.
For Gallaudet Chambers hit well, and
Rosson. although hit numerically by
Georgetown, felded his position in clever
style Stutsman and Brooks deserve men,
