one hundred and fifteen persons. got
away from the motorman to-day near
Fort Lee. n. j.. and dashed down I.e-
onia Hill. Every person on the car
was bruised, three were seriously hurt
and only one of them is likely to die.
Frank Sunstruck, the conductor. it is
feared, may lose his life on account Of
possible internal injuries, and ]. T..
Robinson and his wife, OF this city.
are the two others who were seriously
hurt.
The heavily loaded car hal started
down an incline a quarter OF a mile in
length, when the motorman lost con-
troll. It was so fast no one dared to
jump of. The road is winding one.
and at the foot of the Hill il curves
sharply.
When the front trucks hit the curve
they started around it and made it. The
rear ones followed part of the way. The
wrench upon the car. however as ii
swung about. was so great that the
body was lifted and torn from the
trucks and rolled over and hit the
ground
The passengers were caught in an |
under the car. AMI were piled in a large
heap.

the party will carry out the programme
as arranged, going to San Jose to-
morrow and arriving at San Francisco
on Tuesday The present understand
ing is that the President will join the
party at San Jose if Mrs. McKinley's
condition permits. Dr. Rixey said Mrs.
Mckinley was much better to-day than
she had been last night.
Mrs. Mckinley bruised her hand
while the train was rounding sharp
curve in to-days trip and she suffered
considerably from the bruise since.
Her delicate health has aggravated the
injury and DIR. Rixey was twice COM
PEELED to lance it. The lancing relieved
her very much for the time being.

MUCH GERMAN INTEREST
In the Recent Events ON Wall street.
Suggestion of Sales for Future


A Suggestion of Sales for Future
Delivery.
BERLIN, May 2.-Throughout last
week the German Boerses studied the
Wall street situation with the most in
tense interest. but with great reserve
and in expectation of crash.
The Frankfurter Zeitung now re-
MARKS that the direct interest of Ger
man speculation in American securities
is at present not great, and German
bankers have largely reduced their
American holdings of late" Neverthe-
less, the paper admits, the events in
Wall street have caused anxiety in this
country because reaction has been
feared upon European markets. In
common with the Berliner Tageblatt
and other representative journals. the
Frankfurter Zeitung interprets the ex-
perience of Wall street during the week
as showing the evils of cash settlements,
arguing that such wild fluctuations
would have.been impossible if sales for
future delivery existed.
The reaction here thursday was not
heavy and there was partial. recovery
yesterday.

Talk of Abandoning schedule


DEL MONTE, Gala, May 12.-lMrs.
McKinley's illness has cast a shadow
on the other members of the party
who remained here, and there was talk
at first of abandoning the entire sched-
ule between here and San Francisco,
but Mrs. Mckinley especially requested
that the plans of the party should not
be dsarranged by her departure and
when the President left, this morning,
the understanding was that the pro-
gramme originally fixed should be car
ried out. The President has himself
said he would rejoin the party as soon
as Mrs. Mckinley shall be made COM
Portable.
The party is scheduled to leave here
at o'clock tomorrow morning, and
after ten minute stop at Pajaro, they
will go to Santa Cruz for glimpse of
the big trees. 1t was not the expecta-
ton of the President that he could be
at either of these places, but he thought
he could meet the cabinet at San Jose,
where great preparations have been
made to receive him and where the pro-
gramme was for the party to spend to-
morrow night In that case he could
enter San Francisco Tuesday afternoon,
as originally contemplated, without dis
arranging the plans for the ovation ar
ranged for him there. 1t is possible
that Mrs. McKinley's condition, if it
shall not improve as rapidly as hoped,
may necessitate a curtailment of the
programme in Sam Francisco and for
the remainder of the trip.
The day after leaving New Orleans a
bone felon appeared upon Mrs. McK1n-
ley's finger. Her hand became swollen
and gave her considerable pain, and
produced fever that prevented her from
sleeping. DR.. Rixey twice lanced the
felon and gave her some relief in that
way. Mrs. Mckinley bore it bravely
and urged that the programme at the
cities and towns should not be modified
in any particular on her account.
1t was hoped that the rest here would
do her good, but she slept little last
night, and this morning, although her
condition had improved, she reluctant
ly agreed to go to San Francisco at
once.
The party got away from the hotel SO
quietly that many of the guests did not
know until evening that Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckinley had gone.
