RELIEF TRAIN CARRYING DEAD
Mothers Carrying Dead Children in
 Their Arms.


 Fl Paso, Texas, March S.-The relief train conveying the dead, the dying and the injured of the disaster at Max on reached this place late last night Men, women and children, many Of them still with their night robes on. bandaged from head to foot, made their way or were assisted to the Ve- hicles waiting to receive them. Oth- CTS with children ill their arms and mothers with children lying dead in the front coach were taken to the ho- telS and hospitals.
 Said a prominent New Yorker, who refused to give his name:
 ..The back coaches were not turned over and that is all that saved us who were fortunate enough to be riding in the Pullman. They toppled slightly but remained on the track. Other wise had we not been killed we would have been cremated The coaches were burned up and I never saw any thing burn so rapidly in my life By the time I got out of the Pullman there was little left of the smoker and chair car except cinders and ashes The shieks and groanS of the victims is something to be remembered for q lifetime and we were as helpless as babes to assist them. It is my es- timation that the exact number Of dead will never be ascertained; near ly every passenger on the train was asleep when the accident occurred. Probably the majority of passengers in the front coach met death before the fire finished the deadly work
 It was reported here that as the en- zine left the inside of the reverse curve the accident was not due to fast running.

It Saved the Accused Man, However,
 and the Case Was Nolled-Young
 Man Fined for Stealing Hat at
 Dance in Concordia Halle
 Two rather interesting cases were heard i'll the city court to-day by Judge Peasley. The first charged Albert Lenevelle with theft of lady's silver watch and pocket knife from Oscar Bernier's house at 1OO7 Baldwin street Tuesday afternoon The theft was committed when the family was away. Mrs Bernier discovered the theft first. When she returned home Tuesday af- ternoon at , o'clock she found the house turned upside down. Her hus- band charged the accused with the theft and under threats of arrest, though denying he was the thief, he surrendered the stolen property. He said it was ''the young fellow" Omar Lenevelle, who took the goods. When Omar, whose age is 3 years, took the stand, he looked scared enough to have been delegate to the Hague conven- ton of peace. He said he took the watch and knife and showed the watch to the accused, who took a fancy to it and kept it. The case was nolled against the accused. He was warned by Prosecutor Durant, who said he was saved by the boy who lied to do it.
 The other case was against a smart looking young fellow named William Creedon. aged 19. He was charged with theft of q S3 hat, the property of Albert Brown, pianist at Jacques. All concerned i'll this case were partici- pants in a dance at Concordia hall the other evening. Brown missed his hat, and, to quote him, T was dancing with a woman" when he saw his hat in Creedon's hands. He said this with an air as though Waterbury men dance with themselves or each other. Cree don denied the hat was Browns. Brown called the attending officer to appears the hat was changed. How ever. Creedon was arrested, and last night he told Brown that he would set tie for the hat rather than be com fpelled to go to court, notwithstanding 1 he still denied all knowledge of the hat. Fred Butler said the hat was torn to shreds i'll a pulling match, in which Creedon was helped by his lady friend
 Court adjourned at this point to II o'clock
 Three young men voluntarily testi- fled for Creedon and Attorney Bauby
 made hard fight for him. but the court found him guilty and fined him
 $7 without costs.

GUDEN SAYS NAY, NAY.
Barricaded in Court House and Defies
 Governor Odell.

0ON6IHOE OiiGll.
 New York, March S.--As the out come of Governor OdelTs order re- moving Charles Guden from office as sheriff of Kings county, Guden is now barricaded i'll the county court house and is said to have given instructions that Colonel Norman $. Dike, who was appointed as his successor, shall not be admitted to his office there, nor to the Raymond street jail. He has provisions sufficient, it is stated, to withstand q long siege.
 General Benjamin F. Tracy, who now represents the interests of MT Guden, having recently been employed as special counsel, will see the former sheriff in the Kings county court house this morning and it is believed he will move for writ of prohibition 60 pre- vent Colonel Dike from disturbing MT Guden. General Tracy will carry the case into the courts in some form and it is his desire and that of his client that possession of the office shall remain with MT Guden pending decision.
 On orders of the ''commander-in- chief' only the most faithful were placed on guard at the court house where there was said to be some sign of weakening among the deputies. It was apparent that the men in the Raymond street jail were more loyal than those at the county court house. Warden Roach accepted orders to keep Colonel Dike out of the jail, and these orders were passed along to the assistants and to the doorkeepers. Everything was tightly barred and no one was admitted who did not carry pass signed by MT Guden.

 Greenwich Point, l.. l., March S. This village petitioned the postoffice department several weeks ago for the establishment of postoffice here to be known as Roosevelt. The information reached here yesterday that the peti- tion had been favoraDly acted upon, and that Charles c. Moore, real es- tate agent, had been appointed post master.
 The former name of the village was Rum Point. This came about through an inn being opened at the intersection of four roads which are in the heart of the place. The residents became tired of the name and had it changed to Greenwich Point. Roosevelt is the name of the place now.

MARY ANDERsoN's OPINION.
She Says Clara Morris Is the Greatest
 Emotional Actress


 Emotional Actress
 London. March S.-From the retire ment of her county home, Mary An derson (NIrs Antonio de Navarro) has written q striking preface to Clara Morris Life on the Stage" which is on the eve of publication i'll England. In a glowing tribute to the American actress, Mary Anderson declares .'she is the greatest emotional actress ever saw" and adds the significant warn ing to stage struck girls. II hope she who writes this work will help to stem the tide of girls who so blindly rush into , profession of which they are ig- norant, for which they are unfitted and in which dangers unnumbered turk on all sides. If with Clara Mor- ris' power and charm so much had to be suffered, what is, what must be the lot of so many mediocritics who pass through the same fires with no reward in the end?''
