hicle, which received the full force Of
the blow. The carriage was upset in
the twinkling of an eye and one horse
fell dead on the tracks. The other
three powerful grays attached to the
vehicle started to run and dragged by
them and pushed by force of the car,
the wrecked carriage was moved thir-
ty or forty feet.
Agent Craig fell from his seat imme-
diately in front of the car and 1t passed
completely over his body. Driver
Pratt in falling, struck the dead horse
Immediately in front him and rolled
off clear of. the car, thus escaping a
similar fate. President Roosevelt,

Almost instantly a score of men
jumped to the heads of the frightened
horses and stopped their further prog
ress. Gov. Crane was the first to get
to his seat, escaping entirely unhurt.
He turned Immediately to the presi-
dent, helped the latter to rise and to-
gether they assisted Secretary Cortel-

The Presidents Injury.
The presidents lip was cut and blood
was flowing from the wound. His
clothing was much disarranged and he
was severely shaken up Secretary
Cortelyou had severe wound in the
back of the head from which blood was
flowing freely.
The president quickly regained his
composure and the three soon after
repaired to the residence of Charles r.
Stevens, near the scene of the accident
Mr.. Craig's body was found just
behind the car. = His shoulders and
chest were crushed and the body
frightfully mangled. Driver Pratt was
found unconscious in the road, his
shoulder dislocated, his ankle sprained
and his face badly cut and bruised. He
was Immediately placed in the carriage
and taken to the House Of Mercy,
where he was attended by Drs. Flynn
and Paddock, who tonight say that he
will recover.
Agent Craig's body was taken to the
residence Of Mrs. A. B. Stevens, ad-
joining the house to which the presi-
dent had repaired with Gov. Crane
and Secretary Cortelyou, and later was
removed to undertaking rooms in this
city. But a few moments after the col
lision Drs. Colt Thomas and Woodruff
arrived and attended the president and
his secretary. Half an hour later the
party appeared and resumed the jour-
ney to LenoX. An anxious crowd mean
while surrounded the house and the
president stopped long enough TO as
sure the people that he was not injured
in the least and to express his great
grief at the death Of Agent Craig.
Motorman and Conductor Arrested.
Chief Nicholson, of the Pittsfield po-
lice, and Daniel Ryan, an officer Of the
New York city department, who Is on
his vacation in this city, were driving
about one hundred yards ahead Of the
presidents carriage and were among
the first to reach his side after the COL
lision. They Immediately placed under
arrest the motorman 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 expert
ence, says that he heard the gong of
the approaching car in ample time
and he Immediately rose and warned
the motorman to stop. He says that
the man apparently paid no attention
to his signal or those Of the troopers
and the car continued until
it struck the carriage with great force,
No one on the car seems to be able
to explain how the accident happened.
Even the motorman and persons on the
front seats are apparently unable to
tell why it was not avoided. 1t is said
that Driver Pratt turned to cross the
track sooner than teams ordinarily
make the turn, but this he was forced
to do because Of the fact that his team
of four horses required more room and
the. two troopers on the right Of the
carriage also needed space to get
