TERRIBLE FREIGHT WRECK.
Worst Disaster in History of N. Y. O
& II. r. Road Occurs at Oriskany,
N. Y.-Four Killed,

Utica, N. Y, Oct. 9.-One of the worst
wrecks in the history of the Mohawk
division of the New York Central g.
Hudson River railroad occurred at 1: so
o'clock Tuesday morning in the village
of Oriskany, seven miles west of this
city. -Four railroad men were killed in
the wreck and one was Injured.
The killed: Spencer Shannon, of
Schenectady, engineer; George Palm
erton, of Rensselaer,, fireman; Will
liam Wier, of Albany, brakeman; Ar
gyle Smith, of Rens salaer, fireman.
The injured-James Hager, of Al
bany, bruised, not seriously.
An eastbound freight engine, No.
1861, collided with light engine, No.
1860, which was crossing from track
three to track four, thus causing the
wreck. The crash was terrific one,
and in an instant all four of the New
York Central tracks were completely
blocked. The bodies of Fireman
Palmerton and Brakeman Wier, Of the
freight, were recovered from the wreck
at four o'clock Tuesday morning. Both
were badly scalded, but their bodies
were not mutilated. Shannon was pin
toned under the boiler head of his en-.
CINE, and considerable excavating was
necessary in order to extricate him.
Argyll Smith, fireman of the light en-
CINE, was found under the boiler. The
only man who escaped alive was En-
gineer Hager, of the light engine, who
was hurled through the window of the
cab Of his engine and across what is
known as "the factory ditch"

NEW CANAL TREATY.
Great Britain Reported to Have
Agreed to It-Clnyton-Bulwer
Pact AbroEntcd.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-Walter Wellman.
Washington correspondent of the
Record-llerald, telegraphs that paper
as follows, under date of October 6:
1.-THE United States and Great Britain
have reached an agreement concern
ing the isthmian canal question, and
the new treaty will be presented to
the senate for it's ratifica ton early in
the coming session. I am now able
to give the substance of this treaty.
1t provides:
~. For abroeation Of the old Clayton.
Bulwer treaty in toto.
w. For a neutral isthmian canal, in case
one be constructed by the United States.
open In time of peace to the ships of all
nations upon equal terms.
.. This neutrality Is guaranteed by the
United States alone, and other maritime
powers are not invited to participate in
such guarantee. Great Britain is inferen-
TALLY one of the guarantors, because she i.
party 10 this treaty.
~. In case of war the United States re-
serves the right TO take such steps for its
own protection as 1t may deem proper.
ut will be seen that the new treaty
meets the principal objections which
were offered to the old Hay-Paunce-
fote convention and which led TO it's
principle of neutrality is asserted, the
United States alone guarantees that
neutrality, and no European powers
are invited to give their assent to it..
1t was this feature more than any
other which led to the defeat of the
former treaty. Many senator's were
willing to join with Great Britain in
a guarantee of the neutrality of the
proposed new waterway, because
England already enjoyed certain
treaty rights upon the isthmus. But
they were decidedly unwilling to in
wife other European nations TO give
their assent. Those nations had no
standing in the case, and it was
deemed most unwise to invite them
to participate in n purely American
affair with which they had no direct
concern.
''By the terms of the new treaty
the United States may, in time of
war, deal with the canal as it deems
best for its own interests. 1t may
close the canal to the ships of it's
enemies, and could, if it were thought
advisable (Which no one believes it
ever will beg, fortify the channel or
its termini. In the broad sense the
isthmian waterway is to be ALL
American The United States is to
build it and to have completes con-
troll of it, unhampcred by oncrous
restrictions ~

Duringth the night Conductor Weaver,
in charge of the second section of

breath, Brosius and Greeley, who had
been working on the gravel train at
Hartford City, and who were en- route
to this city to spend Sunday with
their families. They were all asleep
when the train stopped near Onward
to make up steam. The flagman was

was thought of until the train

IS NOT A SURRENDER.
ciple In Agreeing to the New
Canal Treaty.

Washington, Oct. 9.-There has been
no surrender by England to the United
States in the matter of the new
isthmian canal treaty, according to the
best authority here. 1t is said to be
equally true that the United States has
sacrificed no principle in these nego.
tiations, and the effect of contrary
statements is deprecated as likely Sc
riously to jeopardize the chances of
the contamination of the convention
which shall finally and peacefully set
tie an issue that has been a source of
danger for the past so years. 1t is
said that what actually happened is
that each side has preserved the UNDER
lying principle of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, and the new convention will
provide for waterway neutral at all
times and open to the commerce of
the world. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
however, drawn half century ago, has
proved to be defective in mechanism for
giving effect to this purpose. The new
treaty simply provides this mechanism.
England isrelievedf from the guarantee,
which in her case was only trouble
some, and which, being assumed by the
United States in toto, is quite as eff
fective. AS viewed from the American
point of view even, there was no sur
render on England's part in seeking
this relief, inasmuch the above-men-
toned principle is reiterated and af-
firmed as binding upon the United
States. AS for the form of the treaty,
it may be stated that it embodies, in
substance, the amendments to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty which were adopted
by the senate, and beyond that the
changes are believed to be textual
rather than substantial.

A LITTLE UMBRELLA STORY.
In Which the WOu1d-Dc PurloinsY
Got the Trick Turned Upon
Himself.

On one of the recent rainy evenings
when traffic on the elevated road was
dull, guard on the Sixth, Avenue line
found q comparatively new silk UNI
brella in one of the cars. When lone
passenger entered the car at Park
place the guard proudly showed his
find, says the New York Times.
"Tt comes in great for me tonight"
he said. "This is my last trip, and
have long way to walk. had no UNI
brelln."
The lone passenger, who was also
without rain protector, congratu-
lated the guard.
The two carried on pleasant con-
vcrsaton, only interrupted by stops
ut stations. In time the train reached
the Eighty-first street station, where
the passenger was to get out. The
guard had carefully deposited his UNI
brella in n corner of the front plat
form of the car. While he was busy
opening the gates the passenger qui.
city lifted it from it's resting place
and left the car. AS the guard closed
the gates and gave the bell cord
vigorous pull he saw his former pas
senger walking along the platform
carrying the umbrella.
"IIcy, there! Stop it! Bring that
back!" shouted the guard.
81 need it myself" replied the re-
cent passenger.
"Come back. say, you are q
thief" cried the guard as the train
slowly pulled out.
The proprietor of the umbrella
only smiled as he walked down the
steps. He now shows the umbrella
to his legal friends and quotes the
old adagc: Possession is nine points
OF the law"

ties of the triennial Episcopal conven-
ton. The debate, which began last

Article x. of the constitution, pre-.
scribing the form of worship, was con-
tinued all day, and finally resulted in
its adoption. AS adopted it reads az
follows:
"But provision may be made by canon
for the temporary use of old forms and
directories of worship by congregations
not in union with this church, who are will
ing to accept the spiritual oversight of the
bishop of the diocese or missionary dis
trict."

tute elected Bishop Talbot, of central
Pennsylvania, president, and retained
