cars pushed by switch engine, near the
old gravel pit opposite the west end of
Eighteenth street. on the Chicago division
tracks fifteen persons were killed outright
and about twenty were injured seriously.
Fully fifty other persons received minor
injuries.
The trains came together with a great
crash, which wrecked three of the passen-
ger coaches, in addition to the engine and
tender of the special train and two or three
OF the coal cars. The first coach on the
special train was reduced to splinters.
The second coach was thrown down
a ffteen-foot embankment into the gravel
pit and the third coach was thrown from
the track to the west side and badly
wrecked The coal cars ploughcd their
way into the engine ard demolished 1t
completely. The coal tender was tossed
to the side and turned over.
A wild effort on the part of theimprieoned
pal,engers to etcape from the wrecked
car followed the cra h. Immediately fol-
lowing the wreck the students and the
Others turned their attention to the work
OF rescuing the injured. and by the time
the first ambulances arrived many Of the
dead and suffering young men had been
carried out and placed on the gras on
both tides Of the track.
The dead were removed last. Several
wagons belonging to teamsters living in
the neighborhood were pressed into SER
vice and the dead were carried away as
fast as they could be taken from the wreck.
Many of the bodies were 80 mangled that
they could be identified only by letters
and other papers in the clothing. The
cause Of the accident has not been ex-
planned. The engineers Of both trains
say they had the right OF way and we're
proceeding without knowledge that another
train was on the track. There is sharp
curve where the wreck occurred and many
freight cars were standing on the side

stronger Than Mcclellan, He Says.

Just before he left the Citizens Union
headquarters last night h. Fulton Cutting
said he thought the election was already
won and that Mayor Low would poll
larger majority this year than in 1901. His
reasons, he said. were these:
In 1901 our principal elements OF strength
were:
1, The public indignation with Deyerysm
and tho "iceinan."
2. The revolt against Croker.
Both OF these Tammany Hall largely dis
counted by the nomination OF Mr.. Shepard.
and whatever strength they indirectly con-
tributed to fusion success that year is. in my
judgement more than replaced by other and
stronger factors Of success this year. Dcrery-
ism. indeed. has not been forgotten by the
voters because its namesake has been polit-
cally decaptated The men who were his
superior In Tammauy Hall two years ago
are its rulers to-day. The fact that they
have tried to make him a scapegoat is no
evidence that they have reformed. and the
voters generally understand this fuct.
The nomination in 1903 OF Mr.. Mcclellan,
man whom Croker did not dare to name. has

peculiarly attracted by Shepard. and the

John c. Clarke, who has managed Mayor
Lows personal campaign, said that on
figures furnished to him and from his own
invest igations he believed that the Mayor
would carry The Bronx and Queens by
substantial majorties; that he would ha vc
a plurality in Richmond and in Kings more
than 10000
"He has good chance Of carrying Man
