says that % per cent. of the labor unions
reject applications for membership the
applicants are members Of the State militia.
This announcement coming from an officer
in one Of the strongest unions in the city
was a surprise to those who heard it at
the first session of the Municipal Civil Court
this forenoon before Judge Adams.
Weigel was a witness In suit brought
by Fred Osal against the Burkhardt
Brewery Company to recover $1,000
damages. accruing by reason OF his dis
charge by the company for alleged breach
OF a contract under which he went TO work
during the brewery strike In this city
Counsel asked the witness in regard to
the application Of one Kerigan. which had
been rejected because he had been MEM
her Of the State militia and had served in
the Spanish American War.
Is there any point in rejecting member
because he is a member of any military
organization;' asked Mr.. Hartman.
Yes, sir" replied the witness.
Do you reject men because they serve
IN the United States Army
Yes, sir
You are not very patriotic then1 sug-
sested Mr.. Hartman, sarcastically.
y cannot help that replied the witness.
Ninety per cent. Of the unions reject men
for being members Of the militin.
Weigel said that Section I OF Article
III. Of the constitution governing all local
unions contains this clause:

James Berry and his four sons recently

a square mile Of lands formerly fenced by

around their place by the cattlemen and
they were warned not to cut the at trands,
but whenever necessary they cut them.
To-day, while ret urning to their homes
from trip to this town. they found their
property again fenced in, and. leaving
their horses they cut the wires. Just as
they had finished the cutting gang of ff-
teen cowboys rode over hill and, without
saying word, began firing at the Berrys,
who jumped on their horses and escaped.

Soon after the Berrys reached their home
the cowboys dashed up, and, before they
could reach cover, the father and one son
were killed. The remaining three reached
the cabin. and, getting their rifles. returned
the fire. They killed three Of the cowboys

ODELL CALLS ON HARTMAN

son RIVER BRIDGE BILL.
Observation-Disclosures Profess to See Con.
nection Between tho Veto and tho
Advent OF Mr.. Hartman in Delaware
and Hudson. tho Centraps OLD Rival.

and HUDSON, tho CentTaPs Oi0 HlvaI.
Gov Odell came down yesterday morn
ing from Albany and returned on tho 30
train in the afternoon. The Governors
visit had nothing to do with politics this
time He did not see Senator Patt. The
Governor visited Edward H. Hartman,
who is just recovering from an operation
for appendicitis and is to sail for Europe
next week.
Mr. Hartman within the last month has
become interested in the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad Company, the old rival Of
the New York Central. AT the last session
OF the Legislature a bill was introduced
providing for bridge over the Hudson
River al Troy, at Hutton street. in the
interest Of the Troy and Pittsfeld Electrical
Railway Company, This company was to
run it's cars over the proposed bridge and
as far as Schenectady and to connect there
with the Boston and Maine and the New
York Central
II was said last night by flnanoiers that
former Governor Frank S. Black, Superin-
tendent OF Prisons Cornelius V. Collins Of
Troy, and their friends were directly or
indirectly concerned in the passage OF the
bill calling for the bridge over Hutton
street In Troy. in the interest of the Troy
and Pitt tsfcd Railway Company. and other
fina nciers, who were also politicians, said
the friends OF Mr. Black and Mr. Collins
had been led 20 believe that Gov. Ode!l
and mis- friends favored the passage of the
bill through both houses at Albany.
The bill was passed and it was expected
would BE signed when the Delaware and
Hudson directors had a meeting three
weeks ago and interested Edward H. Harri-
man in their company. The fnancier
politicians went on to say last night that
Mr. Hartman 8 friends made it clear to Gov
Odells friends that the signing Of the Troy
and Pttsfeld company's bill for bridge
over Hutton street in Troy would be inimical
to the interests of the Delaware and Hudson.
On the last day Of the thity-day bills Gov.
Odell vetoed the Troy and Pttsfeld Railway
Bridge bill.
The fact that Mr.. Hartman las become
interested in the Delaware and Hudson
compauy's affairs was considered most
interesting last night by those who re-
called that Mr.. Hartman had had no
previous interest in New York State rail-
roads to any extent, but had confined his
energies to the Southern Pacific and the
Union Pacific and other foreign cor
porations' and then the old story
came up that Gov. odell and
his friends have been interested
for the last two years in attempting to in
fuence Republican political matters in the
State of New York. so that at the proper
time Mr.. Harriman's friends may be able
to send two United States Senators TO Wash
-ioRton who would he friendly to the 'Har-
riman interests" wherever they arc located
Naturally the friends Of Mr.. Black and
Mr. Collins and of the Troy contingent were
very wroth last night when they told OF
the fate Of the Troy and Pittsfeld Electrical
Railway Bridge bill and laid it to the Della
ware and Hudson Company and Mr.. Harr'-
man

The plans for the New York Central
terminal. it was learned yesterday, are
all ready and will be given to the public
in few days. as soon as all the details
have been approved by the Bureau OF Build
ings and the other city departments con-
oerned. No official information about the
plans is obtainable, but from an unofficial
source The Sun obtained yesterday some
details concerning them. The person
who gave the information said:
Something has been printed about
the building of hotel on top of the present
station. That is all wrong. The hotel
for one is to be built-will be a building
quite by itself and will he erected on the
vacant lot directly opposite the station,
bounded by Madison and Vanderbilt avenues,
Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets.
The hotel will be twenty stories high.
and. if there is no slip in the plans, it will
he the finest hotel in the world. There
will he entrances from Forty-third and
Forty-fourth streets. but the main entrance
will be from Madison avenue.
1T is the intention to close Vanderbilt
avenue entirely. This street is owned by
the New York Central company and can
be closed at its discretion. The hotel will
be connected with the station proper, so
that persons may walk, quite under cover.
from the cars to the hotel
"The present station will Ike carried up
to the height OF twenty stories. 30 that 1t
and the hotel will have the same sky line.
The upper stories Of the station will be
used for the company's offices and for
such other purposes az may be determined
upon.
Since all trains entering and leaving
the terminal will be operated by electricity.
there will be practically no use for yards.
Trains over the New York Central will
connect with the subway and with the
surface cars. don't know that II has been
definitely decided upon but think it will be
possible for carriages to enter the station
at Forty fourth street and drive throguh
to Forty-seoond, where, as now, Will be
the stations main entrance.
-The preliminary plans for the hotel and
the addition to the station were pre- pared
in the office Of Chief Engineer Wilgus, but
am inclined to the belief that we'll known
outside architect will revise them and have
charge of the building operations. Several
architects, from various American cities
have submitted amendments to the original
plans, but have notion that, II any out
side architect gets the job. it will be Daniel
H. Burrlham OF Chicago or McKim, Mead
4 White Of New York Burnham 10 said to
have the largest clientele Of any architect
in the world, and 1t Ia believed that McKm,
Mead q Wllfte come next.
Tha closing up Of Vanderbilt svcnue will
mean that the Interurhan Street Railway
Company will have to run all it's cars up
Madison avenue, instead Of using Wander
bilt avenue for northbound care as 1t does

The densest and most remarkable drapery
Of haze ever spread across the empyrean
hereabouts dimmed the sun yesterday.
The drapery was woven in part OF Maine
and Adirondack forests reduced to ash and
vapor, the dust from thousands Of roads
unwatered for nearly two months, and
the smoke from the furnaces Of nearly
the whole Empire State. The northwest
erly winds Of Wednesday brought the smoke
and ash particles down from the Address
daoks, and the Maine smoke oarno In from
the sea on the easterly wind OF yesterday.
There was weirdnees about the aapeo6
Of sky and earth at times that approached
the ghostly II not the ghastly. Early risa1s
marvelled at the grayish yellow tinge Of tho
world and the odor of burning wood. Folks
who had seen forest fires in this State andths
East said they could smell burnt sprs,ce.
People who were not 80 wise took their
umbrellas with them whom they salliod
out for the day.
The smoke was dense enough to naks
sensitive eyes water and to tickle sensitdvo
throats. Weather watchers uptown at
twilight last night could SEQ ash or d1cs
sitting down to the ground against TIE
dark background Of clumps Of trees.
The sun was not wholly invisible by day.
When he was doing his best to penetrate
the gloom the air took on hue almost Nike
lemon. Occasionally the sun, rayless end
red, shone somewhat as the Ancient MAY
iner" painted him:
All in a hot and copper sky
The bloody at noon
Right up above the mast did stand.
No bigger than the moon.
Once before, in September 1881, when
there were great forest fires in the States
bordering New York on the west, there was
yellow day in this neighborhood but 1t
was not nearly so vivid as yesterday.
There is faint possibility that rain
to-day will wash the air clean again.

train ran into switch and all except
the sleeper was derailed and turned
over. Nine persons were killed and
over twenty injured. The dead and
injured were taken to Fort Scott. The

whose body was thrown sixty feet into
q cornfeld.
When the train reached Godfrey it
was behind and running at full speed
to make up time. The crew of a
freight train that had preceded the
Meteor left the switch open and the
passenger train jumped the track and
rolled down a slight embankment. All
save the sleeper turned over and so
fast was the train running that the
engine and the forward baggage car
landed nearly sixty feet off the road
bed before they stopped. The sleeper
remained upright and none of the pas
sengers in this car was injured.
The baggage car was completely
wrecked and the smoker was badly
damaged. Five of those killed were
in the forward end of the smoker and
four of them were killed instantly.
