DISASTER AT ALBANY
ELECTRIC CAR coLLlpEp WITH
AWFUL RESULTS.
Five Persons Arc Killed and Forty
Injured, Some Fatally and Others
Seriously-Americans Clash with
Germans.

ALBANY, n. y: Electric cars racing
Tor a switch while running in opposite di-
rectlons at the rate of forty miles an hour,
cost five lives Sunday afternoon by a ter
rl1lc collision in which over forty promin-
ent people were injured, some fatally and
Others seriously.
The scene OF the accident was Il point
about two miles out of Green Bush. on the
line OF the Albany and Hudson Railway.
The point where the cars met on the sim
gle track was at Il sharp curve and so fast
were both running and so sudden was the
COLLISION that the motormen did not ave
time TO put on the brakes before the south
bound car, No. ~, iiad gone almost clear
through lorthbound car No. II, and hung
on the edge OF a high cliff with its load of
shrieking, manned humanity. One motor
man was pinioned up against the smashed
front of the southhound car with both legs
severed and killed instantly, while the
other one lived but a few minutes.
Fully 40 men,, women and children
formed n struggling, shrieking pyramid,
mixed with blood, detached portions OF
human bodies, and the wreckage of the
cars.
Some of the more slightly injured of the
men eXtricated themselves and began to
pull people out of the rear ends of the two
ears n almost everyone was taken out in
Ibis way and nearly all were badly in
iured. The few women and children who
had escaped injury and death were hys-
terical and added their cries to the shrieks
of the dying and mutilated. Men with
broken arms and bones, dislocated joints
and bloody heads and faces tried to assist
others who were more helpless. Help had
been summoned from East Green Bush
and vicinity and in a little time the bruised
mass of humanity, with the mutilated dead
for a grresome and silent company, were
loaded on extra cars and aiken to Albany.
Three ambulances and physicians had
been summoned and the postofice turned
into a morgue and hospital.
AS fast as the physicians could tempora-
rily fix up the wounded they were taken
to their homes or 10 the hospitals.
With both motormen killed, it was hard
to get at the real cause of the accident, but
it was pretty we'll determined that it was
caused by an attempt of the south-bound
Car to reach a second switch instead OF
waiting for the north bound car at the first
siding.

WINTER WHEAT PROSPECTS.
An Unusually satisfactory Yield Is
Indicated by Reports.

NEW YORK: Dispatches from corre-
spondents of II. G. Dun & Co. throughout
the winter wheat belt promise an unusu-
ally satisfactory yield. Conditions have
distinctly changed since the earlier state
ments were prepared, and especially as
respecting the IIessian fly, which threat
ened serious disaster in some sections a
few weeks ago. The grain has now made
sufficient progress to preclude any extern
sive losses through ravayes of this pest,
and there is little sign of other untowarl
influences. In many states the acreage
planted was slightly smaller than last
years, but the better condition as a rule
suggests an equally good yield. This in
cludes allowance for losses in Texas,
where drought necessitated r%eplanting.

SHAMROCK II.
King Edward, Aboard the Challenge

King Edward, Aboard the Challenger,
Has Narrow Escape.
England well-nigh lost her King We'd
nesday in the waters of the treacherous
Solent. He was aboard Shamrock H.,
the Americas cup challenger, when n
vicious squall struck her broadside on,
ripped away her sails, tore out her masts
and left her a helpless hulk, tossing on
the wind-lashed waves. For a time it
seemed that she must founder inc sink,
so heavy was the gale, but she righted
herself after each blast and made the
harbor Mt Cowes in the tow of other
boats of the Upton feet.
King Edward was on deck when the
wind struck the frail little yacht. He
was standing amidships when the top
mast and the mainmast fell about him
and the sails swept overheard into the
sea. His escape was miraculous.
Longer than IN hour Shamrock was
Mt the mercy of the wind md for just
Chat long did King Edward hang over the
edge of the world. When the gale was
ut Its height and the boat was plunging
through the big seas, he threw himself
PROSTATE on the deck, clinging to the
stump Of the mainmast to save himself
from being swept overheard.
While the yachts were maneuvering
for the start a squall came without the
slightest warning, and the bowsprit of
the challenger was carried away short.
The extra strain thus thrown on the top
mast proved too much for the spar. 1t
whipped, broke and doubled off to lee
ward, carrying the whole weight of the
backyard and gear over the side in a
terrible tangle. Almost as the topmast
fell the great steel mainmast, weighing
more than two tons and carrying spars
and gear weighing an additional three or
four tons, toppled also.

eligibility is conceded his statue should

THE PRODUCTION OF SUGAR.

Three years ago the production of
Dees sugar in the United States
amounted to 80, coo tons year; year
ago it reached $4,000 tons, and this
year it is estimated the output will be
no. less than 200, 900 tons. That is a
very healthy increase. The business is
now firmly established. tits confined
principally to the West and Northwest,
with some little production IN New
York state.
The Federal Department of Agricul-
ture aided IN the establishment of the
beet sugar industry, by means of its
Investigations and experiments. Hav-
ing done so much for the West and
Northwest, why should it not now do
something for the South in the line of
Increasing its sugar production? Geor-
gia and Florida have become interested
in cane sugar. A sugar mill is to be
established near Jacksonville, and
there Is talk of similar mills IN South
Georgia. Why should not the Depart
ment of Agriculture interest itself In
this matter and help to push the pro-
iect along? It could render valuable
aid. Secretary Wilson has just asked
for 90 additional appropriation of 81,
600, 600 for his department. It is to be
hoped that he can see his way clear to
using q part of that fund for the pur-
pose of teaching Georgia and Florida
how to produce sugar to the best ad-
vantage. Savannah News.
