WRECK NEAR LIVINGSTON.
Engineer Fatally Injured by a Rum
away Engine.

Livingston, Sept. ga light
Northern Pacific engine ran away on
the mountain just west of Livingston
this morning and on reaching a point
about n mile down the mountain
ran into another engine which vas
w%estbound. Engineer Owen, in charge
Of the w%estbound engine, was SO seri-
ously burned that he cannot survive.
Fireman Hose was also seriously in
jured.
The accident is said to be due to a
defective air brake apparatus. En-
gineer Friske, in charge of the en-
CINE that made the run down the
mountain, had stepped at Muir for or
ders, and while waiting inside the
Office his engine started and in a
moment vas out of his reach. 1t is
| said that the fireman was asleep, and
knew nothing Of the perilous ride he
was taking until the collision occur
red.
The runaway engine tore down the
mountain grade at terrific speed, and
despite the fact that both engines
were demolished the sleeping firemen
escaped uninjured. Traffic was de-
layed several hours. Engineer Friske
| claims that the air brake apparatus
leaked, and would not hold the engine
Ion the grade.

Fire Destroys unfinished Miass Block
Town Threatened.

Livingston, sept. 26.-Prohably the
worst fire that livingston fremen
ever had to conteAd with broke out in
the new block, VIII oh was under con-
struction by MileA Bros, on Park
street. At one THE it was feared
that a good portionAo the town. In
Guiding the AlbemarAe hotel, the Ma
tional bank building land the opera
house block would be destroyed. The
wind was blowing q gale and for more
than two hours the five streams of
water pouring into the building seem
ed to have little feffect. Firemen that
reached the top of the Landing on the
second floor were driven\ down the
stairway and two nearly pe rished be
fore they could be taken ONT.
Excellent work was don4 by the
firemen and flames were entirely con-
fined to the Miles block. Hose was
taken up on the roof Of the Alpemarle
hotel and two streams of water held
the fire at bay in that quarteH The
heavy wind drove the famesA owe
the hotel, but the fremen stood man
fully at their posts and kept tha fire
from catching the roof ct the hptel.
Had the fire extended, a good Dor
ton of the business part Of the TOWN
would have been destroyed, as a $e-
we're wind was blowing from the weAt.
The loss to the Miles building WIN
reach several thousand dollars, with
only $1,000 insurance. The building
was in course of construction and as
yet was unoccupied.

A wE,GHTY EVENT.
Annual Meeting Of the Fat Mems
Association.

The weightiest event pulled off in
the vicinity of New York this year
was the annual meeting Of the Amer
lean Fat Mems association. 1t was
the thirty-sixth annual meeting of
the mighty and thirty Of the rotund
cherubs squatted themselves around
the loaded tables. The only incident
which marred somewhat the joyous
occasion was the charge that Presi-
dent Murphy had within a year faded
from $40 pounds to 296. Three hun
dred pounds full weight is the min
imum of admission, but there being
no scales handy, the presidents de-
NAL of the cruel charge was accepted
and he was permitted to remain with
in the sacred circle.
The call for dinner was sounded
at 3 O'clock, and the only reason there
wasn't a rush for the table was that
there wasn't a man in the crowd who
could do much more than waddle.
The, dining hall which the fat men
have used for years was burned last
spring. SO they had to eat in q long,
narrow room. Everybody managed
to squeeze into his seat all right save
a Mr.. Schaub. He couldn't get
seated because of the limited room
between the edge Of the table and
the wall behind It. After everything
else had failed a waiter brought in
a long plank. which was forced be-
tween Mr.. Schaub's stomach and the
table. This plank was used as q shoe
horn, and the secretary was finally
forced into the spece. that had been
to him.
The dinner was sumptuous,. and it
was marvellous to e the fat men
get away with it.

ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE FROM

In Street Commissioner Keene a
%pugnacious hobo found an exceeding
ly difficult proposition this forenoon,
when he assaulted that officer with
a view to escaping.
The fellow was given five .}Pys by
the police magistrate yesterdd and
Mr.. Keene took him out to perl prm a
little work for the city in retu1 p for
@the very. excellent grub he had been
Y enjoying at the city's expenseA The
man watched Mr.. Keene all the ltime
he was at work and his actionA did
not escape the eye of the street tbml-
missioner, who decided in his Gvn
mind that the hobo would attack him
il he got half a chance.
When the work was finished tie
officer started the prisoner back
Jail, carrying the pick himself and an
lowing the prisoner to carry the show
ell. On the way the prisoner fell be-
hind and out of the tail Of his eye",
Mr.. Keene saw him draw back the
shovel to strike him. Before he
could do it Mr.. Keene landed him a
"corker" under the left ear, knock
ing the man down. Before allowing
him to get up the officer made him
promise to go along quietly, but no
sooner had he regained his feet than
he made another attempt to Use the
shovel and was again knocked down.
This was repeated Ave times before
the tramp finally gave it up al a bad
job.
The tramp never was a very hand
some individual and he looks worse
than ever at the present writing, but
is a whole lot wiser as to the pugilis.
tic ability of the street commissioner.

ENGLISH COAL.
Demand From America Is Affecting
Home Prices.

Home Prices.
London, Sept. 26.-"The American
demand for anthracite coal continues
| good but up to date we have not
made much from it, and the English
consumer has been getting all the
worst of the situation"
This statement has been made to a
representative of the Associated
Press by a most prominent anthra-
cite operator on the exchange.
What I may call an abnormal de
mand has been felt for about a month
past" he continued. 1--WE always
have a steady trade with Canada and
the Pacific coast and the statements
referring to large, shipments to Port
land appearing in the English press
mean to Portland, Ore. So this is
merely our regular trade.
''The abnormal shipments to date
total about $4,000 tons, Of which our
firm has sent all but a thousand or
so. I know my estimate is accurate.
We r slow, l confess, in taking ad-
vantage of the American demand.
All the orders thus far filed have
been at just about the normal price,
but free on board quotations at Swan
sea advanced so cents during the
past week, and while there are inquir-
les for $4,000 tons o the Ameri-
cans thus far have been reluctant to
pay the advanced price.
The people who are really suffer-
ing from the boom are the English
consumers, because the retailers
sharply advanced prices coincident
with the boom in the export trade.
AS the case stands dealers are unable
to fill all their orders on account Of
the miners union. We could double
the output Of the collieries without
increasing the force, but the union
regulations. forbid the miners from
increasing the daily output. We ex-
pect the American demand to contin-
ne for some time"

Funeral of Miss HARDING.

The funeral Of Miss Grace Louise Hard
ing, whose death occurred Wednesday
morning, was held yesterday afternoon at
o'clock from the residence Of the parents
Mr.. Theodore A. and Caroline Harding
1855 Columbia road. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Luther B. Wilson, pas
tor Of Foundry Church, to which Miss
Harding belonged and in which she was
an active worker. Presiding Elder H. r.
Naylor and Rev. DR.. Lucien Clark assisted
in the services. The interment in Rock
Creek cemetery, was private.
Miss Harding was but twenty years of
age. She was young woman of excep-
tional ability and popularity, having large
circle of friends, who deeply lament her
death. The esteem in which she was held
was attested by the numerous beau
tiful floral tributes sent by her friends
and which were placed upon and
about the casket. For many weeks
Miss Hardings health had been falling
and a few weeks ago she became unable
to leave her room. A difficult operation
was performed few days before her de-
mise In the hope Of saving her life, but It
proved of no avail. Besides being a mem
ber and active worker of Foundry NJ f.
Church, Miss Harding was also teacher
in the Sunday school and prominent in the
Epworth League work.
