BLOCKING or THE O. N. 10.
Tactics by Which Its Completion is
Prevented Denounced.

Boston, Oct 3O-The Massachusetts
State Board of Trade met at the Par
ker house at noon to-day for a busi-
ness meeting of the executive council,
President Charles #. Adams presiding.
+. S. Sibley of Springfield made a
statement in regard to the Central
New England railroad which, he said,
had been completed from Tariffville,
Conn, to a point 300 feet from the
tracks of the Boston & Albany at
Springfield The land comprising this
necessary 300 feet of roadbed, he said,
was worth about $5 an acre, but Is held
by rival railroad company and can
not be purchased for $500,000. The
Central New England, he said, has a
compact with the Boston & Albany to
transfer it's traffic for forty years to
the Boston & Maine, and If the road
could be completed the coal fields OF
Pennsylvania would be brought one
hundred miles nearer to the people of
central Massachusetts. He offered a
resolution denouncing the tactics by
which the completion Of the new road
is prevented and his communication
was referred to the committee on
transportation.

Ii HUNG CHANG ACCUSED
CHARGED WITH DUPLICITY IN
PEACE NEG EGOTIATIONS,
Reported to Have Warned Chinese
Officials to Prepare for Eventualities-
American and Russian Answers to the
Anglo-German Agreement-Saiisbur
Disappointed i'm the Latter.

London, Oct 31-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Times, wiring yes
| terday, says: "Li Hung Chang has
wired to Chang Chih Tung, the WI
Chang viceroy, that the peace negotia-
tions are satisfactory, but to other lead
| ing officials he has telegraphed evactly
the reverse, bidding them prepare for
eventualities."
| Berlin, Oct 30.--The answer of the
United States government to the Anglo
| German agreement has not yet arrived
here but an official of the German for
eign office informed the correspondent
of the Associated Press to-day that
Germany was aware Of what the answer
would be--namely a full acceptance Of
clauses 1 and 2, The official also as
serted that the answers of Russia and
France would soon be received.
On absolutely reliable authority it is
ascertained that Emperor William and
Count Won Buelow alone negotiated the
agreement to the entire exclusion of
Prince Hohenlohe, whose policy had as
it's pivotal point closer relations with
Russia and France. 1t was mainly for
this reason that Prince Hohenlohe ten
dered his resignation.
London, Oct. 90.-Russia's reply to
the Anglo-German agreement was re-
ceived at the foreign office this evening.
1t is generally as outlined by the Lon
don Times in the dispatch from its
Petersburg correspondent this morn
ing. The officers of the British foreign
office do not regard the Russian note
as adequate treatment of the points
raised in the Anglo-German agreement
note. They say the Russian reply lacks
the definitiveness so desired by Lord
Salisbury.
The dispatch of the st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times was as fol-
lows Russia, in acknowledging the
Anglo German agreement, unreservedly
accepts the first two clauses, as estab-
fishing principles she herself had al
ready advocated. Concerning clause
three, she simply refers the two con-
tracing parties to the Russian circu-
lar of August 25, saying that she would
modify her attitude according to cir
The fourth clause is very
curtly dismissed with the remark that
ii does not call for comment.

A BAD TROLLEY ACCIDENT
MOTORM1N'S FOOT CRUSHED IN
HEAD-ON COLLISION.
Two Cars Came Together ON WhalIey
Avenue With Great Force-MOtorman
Kenny Now Lying Dangerously In
iIred in Grace Hospital-Mny Ampu-
tate His Leg.

| A serious accident on the Fair Ha-
ven and Westville road occurred last
night shortly before 10 o'clock and as
result Motorman Richard Kenney of 40
Fillmore street win probably have his
left foot amputated above the ankle.
The accident which consisted of a head
on collision between cars 1O1 and 70
happened on Whalley avenue at the
corner of the Boulevard, and was one
of the most serious of the kind that
has happened in this city for number
of years.
A broken trolley wire on the north
track about opposite Elm City park
caused the crew of car rs, which was
going toward Westville, to switch over
to the south track at that point, and
1t was evidently the intention of the
motorman to reach a switch not far
distant and then to run over on the
north track. The car was running at a
rapid rate, and coming toward the city
on the same track was car 101, also go
ing at good speed. The track at the
point of the accident is almost straight
and it seems impossible that the motor
men on the two cars did not see each
other. There is a very slight bend in
the track beginning at Ellsworth ave-
nue., but it is hardly noticeable and
certainly not enough to obstruct the
view OF one car from the Other
The cars came together with such
force that the front of car 10t was
smashed into kindling wood and the
iron and brass work was tangled like
so much tWine. The roof over the
front of the car was knocked off and
the dashboard was driven back about
four feet. Richard Kenny, who was the
motorman on that car stuck to his post

forts of the Authorities Directed
Toward Clearing Away the Ruins and
Ascertatning Cause of the Explosions.

| New York, Oct. 3O-All the efforts Of
the authorities are now directed to
cleaning away the ruins of the Tar
rant and other builings wrecked by the
explosion of yesterday in the desire to
find out how many bodies are buried
and to ascertain the cause of the ex-
plosions. The efforts of the seachers Of
the dead were rewarded this evening
by the finding of the remains of H. c.
A. Schmidt of $50 Clinton street,
Brooklyn, and the discovery of what
seems to be the bodies of three people.
Schmidt was an engraver and had an
office on the third floor of 101 Warren
street. The body could be seen pinned
down under mass of twisted iron,
but was not got at tonight.
AT the northwest corner Of the Tar
rant building mass of clothing and
indiscriminate articles was come across
and the mass was said to be the bodies
of three people. The firemen went to
work with a will to dig out the mass
and at 10 o'clock tonight brought to
light a portion of a woman's foot and
the top of a crushed In skull with long
brown hair.

er had very large force of men at
work tearing down piles of debris and
removing it. The fire burned all day
and toward night was practically to
the end Of the mass Of debris at Wash
ington and Warren streets at the north
east corner. The fire extends back for
some distance and Is burning fiercely.
Above the supposed bodies is a tre-
mendous amount of twisted iron, i'm
mense piles Of mortar and bricks, beams
or iron girders and everything imagin-
able piled into a mass, reaching nearly
twenty feet in the air.
There were no new men at work to-
day. Superintendent Dooner was using
the same force that he had had all day
but tomorrow will get a largely in
creased force.
AT 1890 o'clock a portion of human
body, probably the abdomen, was dug
out and a little later brown canvass
coat. Nothing was found in the pock-
cts but four quill toothpiicks. Still lat
er the firemen found another portion
of skull and a portion of a human
back.
Dr. Conner of the health department
who examined the remains, said they
were probably all from the same person
as were the human foot and portion of
a skull found earlier. The remains
were all found in the Tarrant building.

PERJURY IN THE GOEBEL TRIAL.
Important Witness Against Powers Adj
mits That He Lied.

Louisville, Oct. 30.-The Post to-day
prints an affidavit of Finley B. Ander-
son, telegraph operator, who testified
against Caleb Powers, who was con-
victed of completely in the murder of
Governor Goebel, in which Anderson
denies certain important statements
that he made on the witness stand at
the Powers trial. Anderson tells of
meeting Attorney Campbell in Cincin-
natl and continues in his affidavit:
Colonel Campbell then told me that
Joe Owens had told him that had said
that Caleb Powers, at the hotel in Bar
bourville prior to the 25th of January,
had used these words, speaking of Will
liam Goebel: If we cannot get him
killed and it is necessary, l will kill
him myself / said to Mr.. Campbell
that had never told any one any such
thing, and that Powers had not made
such a statement to me nor any state
ment resembling 1t in any way. Camp
bell and Owens insisted that l had
made such a statement, and I after
ward, upon Campbell's suggestion, sat
down and wrote out a statement in
which l included the foregoing state
every particular, and upon the trial of
Caleb Powers J. swore to it as a fact,
when in truth it was not fact.
"I remained in Cincinnati after this
conversation with Campbell and some
time after that Arthur Goebel asked me
IL Powers had not in my presence at
Barbourville in January said to me in
substance these words, referring to
William Goebel, They say he wears a
coat Of mail, but it won't do him any
good or something similar to that. l
told Goebel that Powers had never
said anything of that sort in my pres
ence. He told me to think if / could
not remember it. | know that Powers
never did make such a remark or
anything resembling it, in my presence;
but being urged by Arthur Goebel, l
finally concluded to state that he did
make such a statement, and so swore
upon the trial, which testimony was
false.
Before making my statement to
Campbell Wharton Golden tod me 10
make it as strong as possible, as they
(referring to Campbell and GoebeD
would take care of me and protect me.
Since such conversation with Camp
bell and Arthur Goebel, L received
from Arthur Goebel various sums ag-
gregating about $500"
