A BITTER FIGHT
AGAINST OTERO
HIS CONFIRMATION OPPOSED.
RcnppOintment as Governor of New
Mexico Now Before Senate
Charges Presented by Citi-
zens of the Territory.

A batch of affidayits and other documen-
tary evidence in the case of Governor
Otero. of New Mexico, was lodged yester-
day with the Senate Committee on Terri
tories. A bitter fight against the confir-
nation of the nomination of the Governor
is being made by a delegation of citizens
of the Territory.
His term of Office expired about six
months ago. and he was reappointed by
the late President Mckinley, and his
name was sent to the Senate some time
before the adjournment for the holiday
recess. At that time a delegation was
here to protest against the confirmation.
and a number have again returned to
carry on the battle. Governor Otero has
been here for several weeks.
Charges Against OterO.
The committee will today grant hear
ing to those interested in the case. The
papers filed yesterday make various
charges against the Governor, and among
other things allege that he represents the
Otero ring, instead of the Republican
PARTY in the Territory.
Col. William NJ. Berger, of Santa Fe,
one of those opposing Governor Otero, ex-
pressed the conviction yesterday that the
Senate would refuse to confirm the nomi-
nation. The Governor and his friends,
however. are confident that the nomina
ticn will go through all right.

Awful Experience.

Awful Experience.
The best. the most vivid and the most
terrible stories cf the collision and what
happened Immediately afterward we're OBJ
tained, of course, from these who were On
that rear car of the South Norwalk ex-
press. and who were able to talk after it
was all over. One of the best accounts
was given by Miss Katherine NJ. Colgan,
OF New Rochelle. She said:
Il get on the train at New Rochelle
All of the coaches were very crowded and

seemed as if it had been cut in two from

| it seemed as if We would all be ground
| to pulp in an instant
''All the while came the terrible kissing
of the steam. and we thought that the
engine was still trying to plow its way
through the train. When the crash came

SECOND DISASTER In TUNNEL.
Six Persons Killed in Previous Ac-
cident on Central Line.

Six Persons Killed in Previous Ac-
cident on Central Line.
The last accident in the tunnel OF the
New York Central Railroad fraught with
any serious consequence was on the morn
ing of February 90. 1891, when a New
Haven local express train collided with
shop train bound for the Mott Haven yards,
at Eighty fourth Street. Six were killed In
the wreck and eight were injured. Several
persons were burned to death, the car
stoves having set the trains on fire just
after the coiii-'~n. Five dead bodies were
taken out of the wreck and one passenger
died in the Presbyterian Hospital a few
hours later.
The eight injured were badly cut. bruised
and in several instances burned The
firemen, who early arrived on the scene
and got down into the tunnel by means
of ladders, managed to get them out be-
fore the wreck was consumed by fire.
They were rescued in the nick of time.
When the collision came. there were
welve persons. all told, in the shop
rain. There were ten men, two women
md boy, all car cleaners or train hands,
the rear car of the shop train. OF the
iilled, four were men. one was a woman,
and the sixth the boy.
Firemen Came In Time.
The shop train WIS made up or seven
sleepers, one day coach and smoking car
The train did not see the lights ahead at
the Eighty-sixth Street station, and
stopped at Eighty fourth Street. This train
was travelling at the rate Of five or six
miles an hour.
Express Rushed BY.
Just at this moment the New Haven ex-
press, speeding along at between twenty
five and thirty miles an hour. passed the
signal at Seventy second Street, and the
operator at this point in a frenzy tele-
+ graphed the operator at Eighty-sixth
Street that the express had rushed by and
was nearing Eighty sixth Street.
Go on, you fool. The New Haven train
is on top of you" said the operator.
II CANT" was the engineers reply, my

came just as the operator called to the

Men willing to Talk.
After an examination the district at
torney told what he had learned OF the
conditions and added:
"All of the men examined were in
formed that any statement they made
might be used against them and they
were told that they need not say any
thing unless they wanted to. The signai
man and the fireman were quite willing
tn talk. and the engineer would have
talked il we had permitted 1t.
Il did not think it fair to him, N the
condition in which We found him. TO per-
mit him TO make full statement. Upon
NV suggestion the engineer was heid
without bail. the fireman was permitted
to give bonds II he could obtain them,

bftor this statement the district at
tornev was asked what he thought OF the
condition of the tunnel, and whether he
did not think, from what he had learned,
that The responsibility for the accident
,oeted ,tnou the engineer OF the White
Plains local.
In response to all these questions Mr..
Jerome said:
"I will not answer any OF these quas-
tions. I am willing. as l said before, to

lice as John NJ Wischow. He was locked

From the investigation made by Dis

sons competent to talk on the subject,
q would seem that the cause OF the acci-
dent was the inability of the engineer,

sentatives of the Cold Democrats. and the
merits OF the several candidates were
discussed. TIE free silver men refused to
accept Fleming for chairman and reiter-
ated the charge that he had betrayed

HEALTH OF MR.. PLATT
DECLARED VERY POOR.
SAID TO BE CAUSE OF ALARM.
BOdyg uard. New York Paper States
Attends Him Constantly, in
Case Fatal Attack
Should Come.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-"The Press this
morning in column story about Senator
Platt, says:
Thoma5 c. Platt, United States Senator,
is in a condition of health which alarms
himself. as well as his friends. 1t is not
the sudden stroke of paralysis, but that
of old age and a constitution burned out
by too many affairs of Importance that
require more time and trouble than he
well could afford.
Recognizes His Condition..
The result is that a bodyguard, or
rather a safeguard, attends him almost
day and night. The mere presence of this
bodyguard is an indication that Senator
Platt recognizes his physical incapacity.
Senator Platt today simply totters
around from the Fifth Avenue Hotel to
40 Broadway. the United States Express
Company's Offices, and Is attended at ey-
cry step by safeguard.
What the Senator fears now is an at
tack of paralysis, and to have a man be-
side him when that comes on he has en-
gagged one of the most powerful and ready
men in the city to attend him.
The BOdyguard.
He is Frank Gillespie, former captain
Of the fire department and one of the
members of the old Gillespie family of
Ulster County of which James Gillespie
Blaine was proud TO boast.

A Dramatic Rescue.
The rescue OF Minnie Rice and Sadie
Scott OF New Rochelle, was one of the
most dramatic. 1t was accomplished only
after several remarkable displays of per
sonal bravery on the part of rescuers and
other victims. who expressed their willing
ness to be left where they were until the
girls could be removed to a place OF safety.
They were taken to the Presbyterian Hos
pital, where they were said to be in yer
bad condition last night. Miss Scott Wa
in very serious state, as she was suffer
ing from shock.
Girls Were Heroic.
Fire Chaplains Smith and Walkley dis
covered the young women pinned down by
the debris in the burning ear, one lying
across the other, so that neither could
move. A dead man lay across Miss Scott.
Ii was impossible for the chaplains to do
anything toward freeing the girls with
out aid. SO they administered stimulants.
and told them they would stay by them
until they were released. The girls were
very brave, and, although the legs of
both we're quite badly crushed, they did
not complain.
Peter A. Murphy. builder of New Ro-
chelle, was held down by debris in the
wrecked car, a short distance from where
the girls were lying.
"I'U wait until they are saved" said
Murphy. and he did wait until the girls
had been released without making the
least complaint.
