A Statement to the Public.

In answer to numerous inquiries, the
undersigned desires to state in explana-
ton of the delay in resuming work on
our new church, that we are waiting on
our architect, Mr.. r. w. Gibson, of New
York. Mr.. Gibson is also the architect
of a large cathedral which Bishop Doane
is building in Albany, and which is not
completed. At Easter the bishop re-
ceived a donation of $120,0O0.0O towards
it's completion and tie egraphed Mr.. Glib
son to prepare plans for the resumption
of the work Immediately.
There had been some uncertainty as
to when work would be resumed on our
building, and SO the plans and specifica-
tions had not been completed and when
we wrote to Mr.. Gibson to proceed with
them he had already entered upon the
work for Bishop Doane and could not lay
it aside.
This explains our delay.

THE GLOvERsvILLE HORROR.
Further Details Of the Disaster An Investi-
cation Ordered
(By the Associated Press.J

Gloversville, N. Y, July 5.-The wreck
which occurred on the Mountain Lake
Railroad late last night caused the
death of twelve persons. 1t is believed
that several other victims will succumb
tc their injuries. The bodies of manv
of the victims were crushed and manned
almost beyond recognition, and the
scenes about the wreck were horrifyinG.
The accident was caused by combina-
ton baggage and passenger car getting
away from the motorman and rushing
down the mountain side at terrific speed
The brakes refused to work and at the
end of the grade the heavy car crashed
into a loaded open car also descending
the mountain. The latter was hurled
from the track and turned on its side
and over so per cent of the passengers
were injured. Those who were pinned
directly under the car were crushed to
death, and in some instances terribly
mutilated. The combination car also
left the track and turned on its side
As the scene of the accident is remote
from the city it was two hours before
appliances to raise the open car and re-
lease the victims were secured. The
accident happened at a sharp curve
where the track turns to make the
climb up the steep mountain side. The
wreck occurred at the end of a day of
pleasure at the resort at the top of the
mountain, and the cars were loaded with
excursionists.
According to Conductor James Cam
eron, of the open car, the closed car ran
away while coming down the grade above
the curve and collided with the open
car as the latter was rounding the
curve. Both cars then went down the
grade at lightning speed. At the foot of
the hill the cars came together again.
Just before" the rear car had reached
the one ahead the lights in the first car
went out and added darkness to the hor-
rors. The heavy double car struck the
other with such force that it raised the
rear of the first car into the air and over
the right embankment on the side. Both
cars were derailed and the passengers
were thrown in every direction. All the
dead and nearly all the wounded are
Gloversville people. City Recorder Frank
c. Wood was held under the car for two
hours between two dead women with
both legs crushed.
Albany, N. Y, July 5.-The State Board
of Railroad Commissioners today ordered
a strict investigation of the wreck near
Gloversville last night.

sumed that it would end the strike at
Pawtucket, Central Falls and through
out the Blackstone valley, but later the
strikers in those places refused to end
the strike, acting Independently of the
Union in Providence. Business Agent
Vetter, of the union, after the Provi-
dence meeting said the strike was de-
clared off because there had been so
many breaks in the ranks of The strikers
that it was necessary to stop the strike
to allow men now out to get their old
places
The strike which Titus appears to be
broken has been one of the most re-
markable in New England. Almost from
the beginning there have been riots,
much dynamiting of cars and for many

this city and Pawtucket. Governor

Fire Breaks Out in the Chi
cago Stock Yards.

Which is, However, Covered BY
Insurance.
(By the Associated Press

Chicago, July 5.-By fire which broke
out in their plant at the stock yards
tonight, Swift & Co. suffered a loss which
is estimated by the officials at $4,000
The fire was confined to one building,
standing at the intersection of Packers
avenue and Broadway. This structure
was four stories high, built of brick,
and was eco feet square. The first floor
was occupied by the wholesale meat mar
ket of the company, the second by the
shipping department, and the third and
fourth by the general offices of the COM
pany. The latter are said to have been
the largest single offices in the United
States, more than 500 employees working
on one of the floors in single room.
The cause of the fire is not known, but
it was discovered near the engine room.
1t spread SO rapidly through the build
ing that it was found impossible to save
anything in the structure
The burned building adjoins portions
of the plants of Armour & Co. and Lib
hey, Mcneil & Libbey, and for time
the fire department had a desperate fight
to keep these buildings from the flames.
w. J. McGonigle, the superintendent OF
the plant, said tonight that the loss will
aggregate fully one million.
The loss is fully covered by insurance.

WILL Be "cARED FOR
Attempt to Bride a franklin
County Democrat.
Commercial Democrats" Persuade Him to
Run For the Legislature and Promise
To care For" Him.

State Chairman Simmons yesterday af-
ternoon received letter from a we'll
known and honorable gentleman in
Franklin. giving the details of the at
tempt to hire a popular citizen of that
county to run for the Legislature. This
gentleman was approached by a promi-
nent Republican with a proposition to
run for the Legislature from Franklin
county as Commercial Democrat
with the distinct understanding that if
he failed of election or be elected he
would be cared for"
The gentleman approached has not
been prominent in party circles but is a
gentleman of capacity, very popular, and
that was why the offer was made him.
He is a gentleman of limited means. But
he is a staunch Democrat, a man of high
character, and it did not take him a
minute to repudiate the whole business.
The Republican leader, in the course
of the conversation, said that the Re-
publicans intended to carry the Legis-
lature as to re-elect Pritchard, and
they had assurance of Democratic sup
port in carrying out their plan.
There is not room to doubt that this
is the plan the Republicans expect to
pursue. 1t is for this that newly APP
pointed postmasters are required to pay
ten per cent. of their salaries to be de-
voted to legislative campaign fund.
Whenever you see a so-called Demo-
crat talking about running as an indie
pendent for the Legislature, you mas
haf no ha boon pron1iCn cd
that he will be "cared for" and that he
is smacking his lips in contemplation of
drawing the salary from a Federal office.
But there are not many sell-Outs in the
Democratic party in North Carolina!
