DEAD NoW NUMBER THIRTEEN.
The Trolley Disaster Near GIoversvIIIe,
 N. Y.-Investigatfon Begins.

Gloversville, N. Y, July 6.-Motor- man William Dodge of the runaway car on the Mountain Lake railroad, died to- night, making the thirteenth victim of the wreck of Friday night. It is prob- able that George Fisher, whose skull was fractured. will die, and Edward Schell is also in a very serious state.
 Coroner Palmer has commenced an investigation, assisted by District At torney Egelstone and will hold the first hearing Tuesday. It has developed that the frame of the truck of the run away car was broken and may have caused the accident, but the motor mans death will make it hard to de- termine the exact cause.
 The funerals of some of the victims were held to-day and more will be held tomorrow.

He died about 4:S0 af- ter suffering from injuries that kept him in bed almost every day since the accident occurred. Once or twice dur ing the four weeks of his illness he had been able to walk about the room with the aid of crutches, but during the last two weeks he sank rapidly with an in- ternaI difficulty. the exact nature of which the doctors would not state last night.
 Mr. Munro was attended by Dr. Charles W. Vishno, and after his death Dr. Bartlett, the medical examiner, was notified and viewed the body. He re- ported the case to Philip Pond, 2d, the acting coroner who said last night that he would begin an inquest into the case to-day, and that it was probable that an autopsy would be ordered as a re- suit
 The accident that finally caused Mir. Munro's death happened at the east ap- proach to Tomlinson's bridge on the af- ternoon of June 10, when Mir. Munro was riding on a wheel. He was ob-' scured from view of the automobilists by a wagon and as he had just crossed the bridge he was struck by the auto- mobile, driven by Du Puy, Yale jun. for. In the automobile were five other Yale students. After the accident MT. Munro was picked up by the automo- bilists and driven to his home, with the assurance that any damage sustained in the accident would be made right by lite IlilSJ IL lS uliuSl otpou, has been done to a certain extent, and it is also understood that Du Puy, who heard of MT.

Two of the men in the automobile with Du Puy were Bradford Ellsworth, of New York city, and George Goss, of Waterbury, the Yale football player It was stated last night that Brown and Fisher were the names of two of the other three men in the auto at the time of the accident, leaving one unaccount- ed for.
 Deputy Coroner Pond said last night, in speaking of the case, that he would order the return to this city of all the men in the automobile at the time of the accident and that a thorough ir1- quest into the case would be made,

sumes the Chase.
 Seattle, Wash, July 6.-Harry Tracy, the Oregon convict, again has eluded his pursuers, after display of great daring. His last act was to impress a farm hand into debarking on the sound in a TOW boat. late yesterday and at noon to-day Sheriff Cudihee chartered the tug Sea Lion and with a posse started in pursuit.
 According to information received at the sheriff's office here to-day, Tracy slept in a cemetery on the outskirts of Seattle, after his battle Thursday night with Seattle officers. On Friday morning he proceeded to the ranch of man named Fisher, secured food and slept and rested in the woods all that day and night. Early Saturday morn ing he appeared at Meadow Point, on the water front three miles north of Seattle, his original point of landing. There he compelled a Japanese fisher boy to row him to Madison Point. twelve miles across and down the sound from Seattle. He dismissed the boy, declaring that the latter would be kill ed by Tracy's pal if he told of the trip. They landed near the home of Rancher Johnson and Tracy watched the house for an hour to make sure of the num- Der of men there. Finding but two, he entered and announced that he intended to kill every one on the ranch and take charge of the place for few days. He added: But after seeing your pretty little girl, will kill no one if you ali mind me. I will be here all day"
 The family prepared breakfast for Tracy and put one plate on a table against the wall.
 This is not right,% declared the con- vict, put the table in the middle of the room and all sit down with me-" which was done.
 Tracy then read Friday evenings paper and after learning how Mrs. Van Horn had betrayed his presence in her house to the butcher boy, said he had been careless in not Keeping every one in that house constantly under his eye
 My carelessness in this respect made it necessary to xii! two officers" he said.
 He forced the Johnsons to give him a bundle of clothing and hats and six days supply of food, clothing and blan- kets made into bundles.
 At o'cock he bound and tightly gagged the Johnson family. made their hired man, Anderson. carry the bum dies to Johnson's rowboat, put Ander- son in the boat at the oars and started down the sound.
 Mrs. Johnson released herself and the others two hours later and notified Deputy Sheriff Mckay, who lives at Madison Point. Mckay secured a boat and sent word to Seattle this morning. Sheriff Cudihec was summoned from 'Bothell and at 10:30 o'clock with sev- eral men started down the sound in the Sea Lion, an electric tugboat, looking for the desperado and the farm hand. However, as Tracy had fifteen hours start it is believed he will make good will row all night, probably kill Ander- son, sink the boat and disappear into the wild forests of Northern Washing ton, where he may live many days on his supply of food

Demand for Higher Wages Refused by

 sters as They Have Decided Not to De-
 liver Freight Handled by Non-Union
 Men.
 Chicago, July 6.-The freight hand lers, numbering nearly 5000 men, en- ployed in the different railway ware houses and depots in Chicago, at spe- cial meeting tonight, decided to go on strike within forty-eight hours to en- force their demand for higher wages. Several days ago the Freight Handlers union submitted a proposition to the general managers of the various rail- roads seeking for an increase in the ed. The railroad officials, however, of fered to confer with committees from their own men in an effort to effect a compromise but they refused to recog- nize the officers of the union. This was unsatisfactory to the men as recognition of the union was one Of the principal demands made in the proposition sub mitted to the railroads. Chairman F. w. Job of the state board of arbtra- tion has been using his best efforts to prevent strike but the men claimed they were tired waiting for the rail- roads to take some action and the de- cision at to-nights meeting was the re- suit.
 The strike, in all probability, will !n- volve the teamsters, as the latter have decided that they will not deliver freight to the railroads if 1t is to be handled by non-union men.

Dogs as Life Guards.

In short time, says the European
correspondent of the Baltimore Ameri-
can, quite a number of Newfoundland
dogs will be addea to the corps of Off
GERS who patrol the Seine as life
guards. The dogs are young, magnifi-
cent fellows, and have been in special
training for some months. Their edu-
cation has been carried on in an indoor
bath built for the purpose, and recently
several exhibitions have been given be-
fore members of the municipal board
of police for the purpose of demon
strating the dogs fitness for their work
of rescue. In the early spring when
the dogs take their places among the
ranks of gallant rescuers. kennels will
be built for them at intervals along
the river. The work of education will
then be carried on regularly. the dogs
being taken through their PAGES just
as the horses Of the fire department
are exercised every day. In the recent
exhibitions these noble animals show
ed themselves splendidly qualified for
their work by their quickness, their
powers of endurance when attacked by
would-be suicides and their power to
sustain for a considerable time the
weight of a human body.
