The train left South Ferry for Harlem
and passed the Battery place station at
It's usual speed, and was approaching the
coah7Ig station. The engineer did not
need coal for his engine and so did not
signal to the man in charge of the coal
ing apparatus. In an unexplained fash
ion, althugh the coal man says it was
through the vibration caused by the ap-
preaching train, the coal chute dropped
down almost at the moment the train
reached the station. The chute struck
the roof of the cab and tore it off, at the
same time throwing Engineer Barlow and
Fireman Hutcfins to the floor OF the
cab.
Barlow's hand was at the throttle at the
moment of the Collision. AS lie fell his
hand turned the pressure st:ll more, and
the engine dashed ahead at full speed
upon the track, not stopping until 1t
reached Barclay street station. Mean

Mr.. Koen is the chief political reporter
of the Dispatch and conducted, in the col
umns of that paper, the campaign of w.
w. Erwin, Mr. Bells candidate for
mayor two years ago His work is gen
orally recognized as having contributed
largely in securing for Mr.. Erwin enough
votes to defeat DR. Schiffmann, the Dem
ocratic candidate for mayor that year.
Numerous other complaints come from
the same ward, which is the ward of the
leading candidate for the Republican
mayoralty nomination.
For instance, the original list provided

primary in the Second precinct would be
held at Seventh and Wabasha, supposed
to be Michaud's grocery store. This was
changed after attention had been called
to it,
In the Third precinct the place chosen
is the McQulllan block, on Wabasha, near

In the Sixth precinct the place chosen is

Figures That Col. PIumer VIII Be

approach of Col. Plumer, before Lord Me-
theun, who seems engaged in the work
of clearing the country north of Kimber-

The pacification of the Free State Is
progressing satisfactorily. Ultimately
there will arise probably among the Beers
a strong peace party, who will point to
the condition of affairs at Bloemfontein
as evidence that in the event of British
occupation of Pretoria life would be
spared. Lord Roberts is expected to con-
tinue his advance by a direct line to
Johannesburg and Pretoria. There are
other routes with advantages that may
be worthy of consideration According
to Winston Churchill there are II 600 Beers

Connection of Bell With Republicans Seen in
the Service Rendered by the Political
Reporter of the Dispatch.
Instead of Using the Booths He Has Obtained
Private Houses or Some Obscure and
Indefinite Locations

The list Of places chosen by Chairman
Bell for the holding Of Democratic pri-
maries, as announced in yesterdays
G o b e, has produced a sensation.
Democrats in every ward in the city
have expressed surprise, and, in many
cases, indignation, at the queer selec-
tions made in many instances. The in
completeness Of the published list was
not in itself the chief cause of cons
plant. Reports from the several wards
made to the G o e showed the dis,
satisfaction to exist more on account of
what many regarded as the evident bad
faith shown in certain of the selections
made.
One Democrat, member of the Cid,
zens-Democratic organization, declared
to the o b e that the list proved the
existence of the conspiracy between the
Bell following and the Republican poll
ticians which too many Democrats sus-
pect.
WITHOUT -MICHAEL'S SANCTION.
ssThose men, said he, never were au-
thorized to issue that call or to name
those primaries. They never consulted
US about either. The statement in the
C 10 e that they had the sanction of
Chairman Michael is false, and the man
that made It knows 1t is false. The cali
was never submitted and was never seen
by us until it was in print The CALI
ing of the Democratic city convention
before the Republican convention was
the first step In the conspiracy. This
list of primaries is the last step taken
sold out, and the goods will be delivered,
and good Republican money paid for
them unless the Democrats of ST. Paul
stop the thing right here"
This is the strongest expression of
opinion coming to the l be.
SAMPLES OF THE WORK.
Inquiries made in the several wards
showed much feeling among active Dem
ocrats as to that list. Here are a
few of the Instances which provoked
most OF the feeling:
The primary in the Fifth precinct of
the Fourth ward is located, according
to the published list and posted notice,
at 444 Cedar street. The place is To-
Gated behind the Sterling Wine house. 1t
