THINKS 1T WAS CRIMINAL.
That Is Rooseve1t's View of the Mo-
torman,s Part.

Oyster Bay, N. T., Sept. 3.-President
Roosevelt returned to Oyster Bay at
500 o'clock tonight but little the
worse for his thrilling experience OF
this morning. His right cheek is
swollen. there is a black bruise under
his right eye and his mouth is slight
ly swollen. Otherwise he shows no eff
fects of the accident.
He will go south the latter part of
the week, according to the original
schedule, and will be accompanied by
Secretary Cortelyou, who, while con-
siderably shaken up, expects that his
injuries will not incapacitate him from
duty. Mr.. Cortelyou's nose is badly
bruised there is a lump on the back
of his head and bruises behind his left
ear and on his body.
The President says he may have to
make his public appearance with a
black eye and swollen face, but the ac-
cident has not interrupted his work
for ten minutes, and 1t will not inter-
rupt his Southern trip. He is pledged
to attend the annual convention of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men at Chattanooga on Monday, and
would not on any account disappoint
the brotherhood.

night in signing commissions and dis

Seismic Disturbances Caused 700 to

On the northern slope of Mount Kas-
bek lies the watering place of Trnen-

subterranean disturbances occurred at
Tmenkau, but the hundreds of bath
ers in the hot springs there secuted the
idea of a catastrophe.
At o'clock of that evening the en-
tire valley resounded with a deafenlng
noise resembling thunder and loud UNI
derground rumblings. The valley
stream became a mighty torrent,
sweeping huge blocks of rock and ice.
Then the bathers tried to escape, but
1t was too late. The entire northern
slope of Mount Kasbek, with the gla-
cier above began to move more rapid
ly. Village after village was swept
away ana everything in the path of
the landslide was destroyed.
Within few minutes the valley,
which is nearly twelve miles long, had
been devastated by a wall Of rock ice

filled up in some places to depth of

AGAINST THREE FORTS.
Four Ships of the Navy steamed Up
to Give Battle.

New London, Conn, Sept. 3.-Early
this morning the naval enemy made
it's third attack on the forts of the New
London district
1t is said to have been the most CT
fective, as we'll as most spectacular.
move that has taken place since the
maneuvers began. The firing began at
4:E0. and continued almost necessarily
for two hours, being directed at Fort
Wright, Fishers Island. The attacking
squadron was composed of the battle
ships Kearsarge, Alabama, Massachu-
sets and Indiana.
Just as soon as the first ship was
within firing distance she was fired up
on from Fort Niche, but no attention
was paid to this warming, for the ships
came right along, heading in the d.
rection of Fort Wright, 1t seemingly
being the purpose to capture that
strongly fortified place. believed to be
capable with the aid of Forts Niche
and Terry, of coping with the strong
est fleet afioat.
A determined attack was made on
Fort Wreight, and the firing from the
guns and mortars of the fort was kept
up necessarily, as the four ships form
ed a line of battle and sailed slowly
by the forts, exchanging shot FOR SHOT,
as far as possible.
The firing was kept up for about half
ar hour, when the ships sailed well
out towards the race again, the de-
tenders believing that the ships were
to retreat in the direction whence they
came. Suddenly the ships turned and
again made a vigorous attack on Fort
Wright, this time attempting to make
a landing.
One of the big ships drew in pretty
close to the forts, and with rapid-fire
guns covered the landing party, but
in opposition to this movement the
Calling guns at the fort were brought
into requisition, and the landing par
ty was evidently repealed, or rather
that particular phase. of this attack
was not considered successful.
After the conclusion of this second
attack the ships steamed out into the
race, and back in the direction of Block
Island.
The result of the conflict will not
be known until after the umpires re-
port, and perhaps 1t will be the occa-
sion of much discussion on the part of
the board of arbitration.

story of the MOtOrman.

Euclid Madden, the motorman, In
telling his story, says that the car was
No. 20, which had motors of sixty
horsepower. The car is not fitted with
air brakes.
On account of the presidential exer-
cises, the running schedule on all of
the company's lines was disturbed. AS
he passed over the railroad bridge
about $50 or 400 feet from the scene
of the accident, he shut off 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 rum
ming over eight miles an hour; he re-
ceived no warming to stop and did not
see the. mounted men or Gov. Crane
waving their hands to him to stop. He
saw there was plenty of room for the
Presidents carriage to have passed on
the west side of the trolley track. and
he 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 the leading horses were
turned short across the track. He could
not tell just how the car struck the
carriage, but he says he reversed the

quickly as possible, when he saw the
horses turn on the track. 1t was dusty

what was going on.
The President Was Calm.
witnesses say the President was
calm and collected and deplored the
death of Mr.. Craig.
He was the most faithful man I
ever knew" said he; my children
fairly worshipped him.
When Mr.. Craig saw the impending
danger and that a collision could not
be averted he was heard to say:
oh, my Cod" and then he was
hurled through the air and fell under
the car wheels.
When the President got out of the
wreck he asked the motorman, why
were you running your car like that"
which brought only the response, Be

The President said that when he saw
the car coming at such terrific speed
he felt that all in the carriage would
surely be killed.
President to MOtOrman.
According to another story the Pres
ident was stunned for but a second,
and springing to his feet, walked back
about fifteen yards where the trolley
had stopped and told the motorman
that unless the car had gotten beyond
his control, which did not seem pos
sible in view of the way it had stopped,
he had committed an act of criminal
recklessness which had resulted in the
death of at least one man.
Officials of the road deny that the
motorman was instructed to run
through without stopping and say the
car was not running at high rate of
speed.

Volley Fired on Non-UnfOn Men as
They Were Leaving Work.

Bramwell. w. Va, Sept. 3.-The sit

union miners were leaving the mines
tonight, a volley was fired at them
by parties hidden on the mountain
side. The guards returned the fire. So
far as is known no one was injured
The officials at Simmons Creek and
other operations In the Flat Top field
have asked both county and state au-
thorities for protection, but 1t seems
impossible for the sheriff to find
enough men whom he can deputize to
preserve order. More than half those
deputized in the past have refused to
act.
Gov. White has refused to send
troops to this field. notwithstanding
many appeals are made daily. The
mine officials greatly fear explosions in
the mines as the result of fire, and II
is difficult to get men who will push
far into the interior to fight the fire.
The officials of the Pocahontas Col
lieries Company tonight state that the
fire in the Pocahontas mine Is now
burning more fiercely than ever and is
gaining Roadway rapidly.
