THE MOTORMAN'S STORY

Euclid Madden, the motorman, IN
telling his story says that the car was
No. 80 which had motors Of 80 horse
power. The car is not fitted with air
brakes. On account Of the presidential
exercises he says that the running
schedule on all lines Of the company'S
streets were disturbed.
As he passed over the railroad
bridge about $50 or 400 feet from the
scene Of the accident lie says he shut OF
the power and put on the brakes, the
car then being on down grade. He
says there were teams on both sides OF
the track and he WAS exercising every
care TO avoid an accident. In his
opinion the car was not running over
eight miles an hour: he received no
warning to stop and did not see the
mounted men or Gov. Crane waving
their hands to come 20 StandStil!. Ac-
cording to Nadden's story, there.
there was plenty Of room for the presi-
dents carriage to have passed On the
west side OF the trolley track Ind be
would have had plenty Of time to
have passed the presidents carriage
before the turn was made to the east
side Of the road. He said that the
leading horses were turned short
access the track. lie could not tell
lust how the car struck the carriage,
but he says he reversed the power and
went for the brake just as quickly as
possible when he saw the horses turn
on the track. He said it was dusty
and with difficulty he saw what was
going on.

STARTED FOR The SOUTH
The President VIII Visi: i'onr Sou;h.
era Cities Only.

Smilingly b0wing In ackaoWlcdg-
ment Of the enthusiastic and prol0ng
ed cheering Of an assemblage that fair
ly crowded tie Baltimore and Ohio

dent Roosevelt Friday night began
his southern tour with Chattanooga,
Tenn, as the objective point. The
president was in the city exactly one
hour and half. lie arrived over the
Pennsylvania railroad at G.l2 O'clock
Friday evening on q special train Of
t"o cars made Gp 1t Philadelphia Eli

en- route from Oyster Bay. Secretary
Of the Interior Hitchcock, Chief VIII
kie of the secret service, Assistant
Secretary to the President Barnes, aild
number Of ether officials and White
House attaches met him at the sta
tion.
The president appeared little dis-
figured as result OF the PittSfeld
accident, cut apparently had quite
recovered from the shock. lie stop
ped to shake hands with those vino
pressed about him to nsratuiaoe him
on his escape. Poor Craig" lie fre-
quently repeated in expressing his
thanks to his wcll-wishcrs. Through
a Gordon CT police the PRESIDENT was
escorted to carriages in waiting, and
was quickly driven to the Baltimore
and Ohio station. Secretary Hitch
cock, Commander Cowles, the presi-
dents brother=in-law, and Secretary
Cortelyou rode in the carriage With
him.
The special train of seven hand
somely equipped coaches was in readi-
ness and the president Immediately
entered his car, merely lifting his hat
in response to the greeting from the
crowd. He spent most of the time
before his departure in conversation
with Civil Service Commissioner Gar
field and with others who entered the
car to meet him.
To number the president described
the accident at Pittsfeld. He said it
was not the first time he had so pro-
vidential an escape and referred to an
incident in the battle of San Juan
when gInShots struck down two men
close beside him. The president told
the Pittsfeld story to the group in the
car with feeling and emphasized it
with gestures. He said he felt his
normal condition again.
The train was just two minutes
late when It pulled cut Of the Balti-
more and Ohio station at 7.30. 1t was
in charge of Pullman Conductor VIM.
Johnson, who has been assigned to the
presidential specials for a long time
past.
The personnel of the presidents
party is the same as that on his New
England trip, except for the addition
of S. B. Hege, the general agent Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and
Col. L. S. Brown, the general agent
of the Southern railway. The presi-
dent took dinner on the train shortly
after his departure.
The Southern trip will be some
what hurried one and no stops will
be made at points other than those
announced in the itinerary already
published, namely: Wheeling, W. Va,
Chattanooga, Tenn, Knoxville, Tenn,
and Asheyille, n. G.
The immediate object Of the presi-
dent is to attend the convention Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen,
in whose work be always has shown a
deep interest.

4 Slick Swindler.

The Columbia State says news has
reached this city Of this work done by
a slick swindler who has been operat-
ing in Lexington county. He IS said
to have represented himself as the
agent OF vehicle manufacturing con-
Germ. tool, a number Of orders. His
terms were moderate, but he required
a cash payment to, guarantee the
freight charges on the shipments. lie
has not been heard from lately, and
it is stated on good authority that eX-
animation has proved that he was i
fake.

Hard to Kill.

No pressure yet reached destroys all
bacteria. Milk has been subjected re-
Gently to pressures up to 100000
pounds per square inch, but 1t vas not
completely sterilized. although orler
coElpression under 20 to 100 tons to
the inch delayed souring 81 to 80 hours
and i pressure Of 81 tons per inch for
an hour caused the milk 70 keep from
four to six days. AS odd tastes and
orders were soon acquired. it seems
that some kinds Of bacteria were kill
ed while others survived the tremend-
Gus squeezing.

CHARGED WITH NANSLAUGHTER.

The charges against them are man
slaughter. Bail for the motorman OF
$1,000 was furnished by ex-Alderman
Maurice J. Madden, his brother, and
Patrick II. Dolan, manager OF the
Pittsfeld Street Railway company.
Kelly was baled in the sum Of $1,000
bv Mr.. Dolan. Kelly is 25 years Of age,
single, and has been employed on the
railroad for three years. Motorman
Madden is 80 years old and has a wife
and five children. Madden and Kelly
probably will be arraigned in the dis
trict court Tomorrow morning on
the charge of manslaughter.
1t is expected that Attorney Hm.
Turtle, counsel for the Pittsheld
Street Railway company, will repre-
sent them. 1t is likely that the case
will be continued for week or more
and in the meantime an inquest will
be arranged for. The defense prob
ably will present no evidence and the
men will be held for the grand jury.
George and Hugh Craig OF Holroke,
Mass. brothers Of VIM. Craig, the vic
tim of the accident, arrived here TO-
night and are in consultation with
the authorities. 1t has been decided
to take the body to Chicago for inter,
ment, that city being Craig's home,

The president quickly regained his

paired to the residence Of Charles Il.

Mr.. Cra!g's body was found just behind

ious crowd surrounded the house and
the president stopped long enough to
assure the people that he was not IN
iured in the least and to express his
great grief at the death OF Agent
Craig.
Chief Nicholson Of the PittSteld po-
lice and Daniel Ryan, an officer OF
the New York city department who is

ing about 100 yards Sahead Uf the preS!-
dent, carriage and were among the
first to reach his side after the col
lisiou. They immediately placed under
arrest the mot0rman Of the car, EuclId
Madden. and Conductor James Kelly
and they were later taken to head
quarters in this city.
Gov. Crane in relating his experience
said that he heard the gong Of the ap-
preaching car in ample time and he
rose and warned the motOrman tostop.
He says that the man apparently pald
no attention to his signal CT those OF
the troopers alongside, and the car
continued until it struck the carriage
with great force.
No one on the car seems able to eX-
plain how the accident nthappened. Even
the motorman and persons on the front
seat are apparently unable to tell why
it was not avoided. 1t is claimed that
Driver Pratt turned to cross the track
sooner than teams ordinarily make the
turn. but he was forced to DO so be-
cause Of the fact that his team OF four
horses required more room and the
two troopers on the right of the car
riage also needed space to get through.
Motorman Madden and Conductor
Kelly remained in the station house
from 10 o'clock this morning, when
they were taken under arrest, until
$50 this evening. when bail was fur
nished.

PORTUGUESE EAST AFRICA.

Another great change in the political map Of
Africa is assumed 10 be impending. II is an
open secret that the acquisition Of part Of
Portuguese East Africa by Great Britain has
recently been the subject OF diplomatic consid-
Grafton. Now the King OF Portugal and the
German Emperor are TO visit England together,
and the quidnuncs are not unnaturally infer
ring that an extensive deal is about 70 be
made which will partition Portuguese East
Africa between Great Britain and Germany
and will give Portugal compensation in some
way not yet revealed. Beyond doubt there
would be strong opposition in Portugal to
such a disposition Of a large part OF her colo
NAL empire. But the majority of thoughtful
people in that kingdom would probably realize
the practical wisdom of it. That it would be
for the good Of the territories in question, and
Of the world at large, there is no room for
doubt.
The State Of East Africa, as the Portuguese
call their territory. extends along the coast
from above Cape Delgado to below Delagoa
Bay, distance Of about 300 miles, and in
land from $50 TO 500 miles. At the north it
abuts upon German East Africa, and at all
other points inland upon British possessions, a
fact which indicates the propriety OF partition
ing Il between those two powers whenever It
passes out OF POrtugaPs hands. II is divided
into two parts by the Zambesi River, which
flows. through It for 500 miles, and which
might naturally indicate the line OF division
between the German and British shares. II
Germany took all north Of the Zambesi she
would extend her African coast line by more
than 200 miles. and would acquire nearly 200
miles more frontage upon Lake Nyassa, thus
dividing the shores OF that lake about equally
with Great Britain. She would also get the
important city Of Mozambique, the port and
ship yards OF Quilimane, the fortress of Ibo and
the iron and copper mines Of Makanga. Great
Britain, in taking the southern half, would
similarly extend her coast line, making It I'M
broken from the mouth Of the Orange River at
the west TO the mouth OF the Zambesi ar the
east distance Of about $500 miles She would
realize the design OF Cecil Rhodes in securing all
the continent south OF the Zambes save for the
German colony on the west coast She would
also acquire the invaluable ports OF Lourenco
marques lnhambane and Beira. the first and
last named being already the coast terminals
OF railroads giving access to the British terri
tories inland. Rhodesia and the TransyaaI
would then have direct frontage upon the Indian
Ocean.
Ihere would then remain TO Portugal I'm
Africa only Portuguese Guinea and Angola.

WHAT Mr.. REID SAID.

Certain papers would have it appear that the
address delivered at the Founders Day cele-
bration in Carnegie Hall. Pittsburg. on Thurs
day afternoon by Mr.. Whitelaw Reid con-
demned the submission TO arbitration Of the
questions at issue between the coal operators
and their employees. Whether made carelessly
or maliciously. such representations are ut
terly devoid of truth Mr.. Reid neither said
nor remotely suggested anything of the sort
This is what he did say. as even the papers
which assert the contrary show by their own
quotations:
Not until 1865 was it even established
throughout the United States that every man,
black or white, has the right TO sell his own
there were still found great many persons IN
GLIDING a pitiful number Of exceptionally igno-
rant or emotional clergynen, and some people
called statesmen, who considered such right
on the part Of some white men so doubtful that
they were not ashamed TO urge for the sake Of
peace, and coal, that IL should be submitted 70
arbitration
Questions Of hours, wages, conditions and
measurement of the product disputed during
the coal strike could be submitted to arbitra-
ton, as they have been submitted, without
betrayal of fundamental principles. The right
Of every man 10 sell his labor if he can and to
be protected in selling it cannot be arbitrated
any more than his right TO breathe. No such
arbitration is under way now. or ever will be.
until a small minority Of fools, knaves and
fanatics have grown into a majority Of the
American people; and we have faith TO believe
that time will never come.

TIE THIRD EAST RIVER BRIDGE.

Mayor Low has appointed a well qualified
commission TO pass upon the revised plans Of
Commissioner Lindenthal for the Blackwelrs
Island Bridge. Every public spirited New
Yorker must feel the strongest interest in the
designs for this ambitious structure over the
East River. The suspension span between the
towers of the only link in the air between Man
haitian Island and Long Island is gracefully
curved and proportional. When the second
bridge, further north, is finished, it will be seen
whether or not its lines are as pleasing to the
eye between the lofty lattices of steel which
rise for hundreds Of feet above the stream as
those of the splendid arch which was hung so
many years ago, and has been of such incalcula-
BILE value to Manhattan and Brooklyn ever since
1t was put in use.
The Mayor realizes the Importance Of expert
judgment of the highest class In decisions upon
the details of the Blackwelrs Island Bridge. If
a commission of architects. artists and engi-
neers had revised the designs for some of the
bridges over the Harlem River, which are now
important avenues Of travel. many signs and
regrets might have been avoided, and citizens
of clear vision and well balanced ideas might
have escaped no small degree Of uneasiness.
