Interest in the Matter Revived by
RumOr Today.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Interest in the
question to whether or not the control
OF the Northern Pacific railroad changed
hands at the time of the recent corner in
the stock was revived today by the circula-
ton of report that the Union Pacific syn
dictate bought some time ago ali of the
Northern Pacific holdings of Edward D.
Adams. In addition, it was said that Mr.
Adams, who is member OF the company's
board of directors and executive commit
tee, went short Of the stock from 5000 to
1000 shares and was one of those forced
to settle at high price after the pushing
through of the corner. Mr.. Adams was re-
garded as the representative of the Deutsch
Bank of Berlin in the Northern Pacific. but
a recent dispatch from Berlin denied that
the banks holdings had been sold.
Neither of the contestants in Northern
Pacific has been willing to make any state
ment recently concerning the control of the
property. and it is thought no official an
nouncement will be made before the annual
meeting in the fall for the election Of d.
rectOrS.

Testimony Still Coming In,

To discredt thoroughly the abolition or

dence should be both abundant and of a
decisive character. Within a few weeks
We have had evidence of it's harmful re-
suits in widely distant parts of the coun-
try, and this morning there are similar re-
ports published from two army reserya-
tons in the vicinity of this city II these
reports are exaggerated it will be neces-
sary for the friends Of the anti-canteen
law to prove their unreiiabiiity or submit
that their case is entirely indefensible. II
is beginning to be seen clearly now that
army officers. as was emphatically de-
clared in their testimony before the Senate
committee. knew the character of the ay-
erage soldier accurately enough to forecast
the failure of the new law. Not one salts
factory proof OF its beneficent effect has
been published. and enough is known al
ready to predict just such results as are
reported this morning from Fort SCHUYLER

the usual story Of drunken soldiers and

military life on the reservations has de-
Perforated through the abolition of the can

The murder of James Seymour Ayres by

more in Washington possesses addi-
tional feature of interest to Massachusetts
people in the fact that it has several con-
ditions and situations making it compare

history of which has just been completed in
the Massachusetts courts. Mr.. eastman
was Se1f-confeSsed slayer of Grogan. Mrs.
BOnine. has told in detail the events which
led up to the death of young Ayres. In the
case of each, death was the result of an ac-
cidentaily discharged revolver. In the case
OF each, the slayer and the slain Were on
the most intimate terms. and their relations
had never been married by other than
friendly quarreS.'
Each of those who caused the death Of
fellow-being went to the scene of the trag
edy, if each may be believed, with only the
most innocent intentions.
Each has testified that more by express

that life was in danger and that self pres

Terrible Accident on Albany and Hud-
son Railroad Yesterday.

ALBANY, n. Y, May 27.-Further infor-
nation from the vicinity of the collision
on the Albany and Hudson railway near
East Greenbush, shows that the number
OF injured is over fifty. There have been
no other deaths, however, UP TO this hour.
A dispatch from Albany. n. Y, last night
says: Electric cars racing for a switch
while running in opposite directions at the
rate of forty miles an hour cost five lives
this afternoon by terrific collision, in
which over forty prominent people were
injured, some fatally and others seriously.
Killed: Frank 3mith, motorman; William

Gated
The scene of the accident was a point
about two miles out of Greenbush. on the
II
The point where the cars met on the single
track was at sharp curve. and SO fast
were both running and so sudden was the
collision that the motormen never had time
to put on the brakes before sout bound
car No. % had gone almost clean through
nOrth-bound car No. II. and hung on the
edge of a high bluff with its load of Shrek
ing. manned humanity. One motorman was
pnioned against the smashed front of the
south bound car with both legs severed. He
instantly killed. The other lived but
a few minutes.
Fully 12O men, women and children form
ed a 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 ex-
pie out of the rear ends of the two cars
and almost every one was taken out in this
way, and nearly all were badly injured.
The few women and children who had es-
capped injury and death We're hysterical
and added their cries to the shrieks of the
arms and bones. dislocated joints and
bloody heads and faces tried to assist
others who were more helpless. Help had
been summoned from East Greenbush and
vicinity. and in little time the bruised
mass of humanity, with the mutilated dead
for grewsome and silent company. We're
loaded in extra cars and taken to Albany.
There ambulances and physicians had
been summoned and the post Office turned
into a mOrgue and hospital. AS fast as
the physicians could temporarily fix up the
wounded they were taken to their homes or
to the hospitals.
With both motormen killed. 1t is hard to
get at the real cause of the accident but
it is pretty well 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.

fear another outbreak.
