DIED OF HIS INJURIES.
Unknown Brakeman Picked Up-one
Missing from Freight.

iUnknewn Brakeman Picked Up-one
Missing from Freight.
Milford. Conn. Feb 19.-An unknown
freight brakeman was picked up near
this station in a badly wounded condi-
tion by the pay car which was going in
the direction of New Haven. When the
man was put aboard the car it was
found that his injuries were probably
fatal and all haste was made to get
him to the New Haven hospital. At that
institution it was found that besides
the loss of the left foot the man was
suffering from g, fracture Of the skull, a
scalp wound and fracture of the right.
and left arms. The man died half an.
hour after entering the hospital.
Despite the efforts of the hospital aii-
thorities the mans Identity remained a
mystery.
1t is believed that the man fell from
the Westbound freight train which pass
ed through this town about 8 o'clock.
The conductoraof that train telephoned
from Bridgeport that he missed one Of
his crew, but he was unable to give his
name.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHK.
An Important Invention by Peter

An Important Invention by Peter
Cooper Hewitt Of New York.
New York, Feb. 19.-Tn the current
issue of. the Electrical Review is de-
scribed an important invention in wire
less telegraphy by Peter Cooper Hew-
lit, Of New York city, son of the late
Abram S. Newitt. This device, which
is a development Of the Cooper Hewitt
Mercury Vapor lamp, takes the place Of
the usual spark@gap for discharging in
the antenna, or sending mast. 1t con-
sists Of glass globe eight to ten inches
in diameter, with two mercury cleo
trodes contained in tubes sealed in the
lower part Of the globe.
The device is very effective, and, it is
stated by this authority, will enable a
much more powerful electrical wave to
be set UP than is possible with the
methods at present in use, and will also
make secrecy in transmission easily
possible.
DIR. M. I. Pupin, professor of electro
mechanics at Columbia university, and
widely known from his inventions in
long-distance telephone transmission,
is quoted by the Electrical Review as
saying: THE Cooper Hewitt mercury
vapor interrupter at once establishes
wireless telegraphy on a commercial
basis. The problem of selective signal
ling is solved, and transatlantic trans
mission will be easy"

FOUR KILLED; SEVEN INJURED.

Explosion TN Workroom OF Naval St0r-
age Magazine of Fort Lafayette.
New York. Feb. 19.-Three men were
killed outright, one man injured SO that
he died later, two other men fatally and
at least seven seriously hurt in an ex-
Iplosion in the workroom of the naval
storage magazine at Fort Lafayette
about 2 O'clock this afternoon.
The dead: George Rotham, BROOKLYN;
Gustaye Dozier, Bay Ridge; John Ma
son, Brooklyn; unknown man, thought
to be Martin Thargensen, Brooklyn.
The injured, so far as known: w. H.
Vangurp, Brooklyn; Charles John Null
Ter, Brooklyn; Z. B. Miller. Manhat-
tan; Frank Munden, address unknown.
All the dead and injured were work
men at the fort, The explosion could
be heard for miles around Accounts
as to how the fatal blast was set off
differ. One report has 1t that the men
were filling thirteen-inch shell, while
another is that the men were removing
a powder charge from shell and un-
ldertook to unwind a fuse connecting
the powder chamber with the percus-
sion cap. This caused sufficient fric-
tion to set off the cap and explode the
| shell.
Siaior Powell, chief surgeon at Fort
Hamilton, was among the first to reach
the scene Of the catastrophe, and, with
| fort troops, remoced the dead and in
jured from the wrecked magazine Am-
balances and surgeons also were sum-
moned from Brooklyn. .....t... +. .z
The work of identifying the dead and
injured was difficult because of the dis
torted features, blackened by powder
burns. Fort Lafayette is an old fort on
the Narrows.

who Killed Editor Gonzales.
Columbia, S. c., Feb. 19.-The hearing
on the application for bail in the case of
the state against j. H Tillman, charged
with the murder of Editor Gonzales,
was begun here this morning before
Chief Justice Y. G. Pope. Tillman was
not present, but was represented by his
counsel, Congressman-e elect George w.
Croft and P. H. Nelson. Reading of af-
fidavits from both sides occupied the
morning session Of the court.
The affidavits by the defense tended
to show that Tillman acted in self-de-
fence, declaring that he had received
messages and Information that Gonza-
les intended to take the defendants life.
In his sworn declaration Tillman
stated that he had been repeatedly urg-
ed and warned to watch for his safety.
He wished to avoid any alterca ton,
his statement says, as he was about to
retire from the office of lieutenant gov
ernor, his term expiring two days after
the tragedy. Tillman was removing
from his office his personal effects, in
Guiding two revolvers. While carrying
these up the street he met Gonzales,
who, he stated, pushed his hand into
his pocket. Believing his life in dam
ger Tillman hurriedly said: Il got your
message" and fired, firing, the affidavit
declares, to save the defendants life
The applica ton for bail was refused.

Controversy on "Babei and bible"
Brings Forth Letter from Him.
Berlin, Feb. 19.-The discussion which
has recently been proceeding on the
subject of the Hebrew religion under
the heading of Babel and Bible has
called forth a letter signed by the Ger
man emperor in a Leipsic weekly in
which he defines his own position. The
emperor addressing himself to the the
ories of Professor Delitsch, one of the
controversialists, says he thinks Del
itsch made a great mistake in ap-
preaching the question of revelation in
a polemic spirit. The letter lays down
the following conclusions arrived at by
Emperor William:
81 believe in the one and only God.
We may need a form in order to teach
His existence, especially for our chill
dren. This form has hitherto been the
Old Testament. The present version Of
this will be positively and substantially
modified under the influence Of re-
search through inscriptions and exca
vations. That does not matter Neither
does it matter that much of the nim-
bus of the chosen people will thereby
disappear The kernel of the contents
of the Old Testament will remain al
ways the same-God and His Works
Religion has never been the result Of
science but the pouring out Of the heart
and being of men from intercourse with
God"

MONTREAL EXPRESS WRECKED.

Rolls Down 25-Foot EmhauMmenf-
Marvellous Escape of Passengers
Toronto, Ontario, Feb. 19.--The Mon
treal express on the Grand Trunk, con-
sisting of a baggage car express, day
coach sleeper and two Pullmans was
derailed at Whitney Junction to-day
All the cars left the rails and rolled
down twenty y-fve-foot embankment,
hurting the passengers about as they
turned over. There was no ditch to
cause a piling of the cars at the bot
tom of the bank, and to this is due the
marvellous escape of the passengers,
No one was killed, though over twenty
suffered more or less severe injuries.
Several Americans were on the train
going through to the west s">'
The injured were brought on to To-
ronto. Those removed to the hospital
were: David l.. Carver, Bangor, Me-,

SENSATIONAL COTTON MARKET.
Prices Advance 20 Potnts--r00 Points In

Prices Advance 20 Potnts--IO0 Points In
Fifteen Days.
New York. Feb. 19.-This was day
of sensational developments in the cot
ton market for prices advanced about
20 points over last nights closing. May
contracts show an advance of almost
exactly one cent per pound over the
closing figures of February 8, an ad-
vance of 100 points having developed in
fifteen days. Prices are two cents a
pound higher than they were on Novem-
Der IA. Such a rapid enhancement In
history of the trade. While the storm.
which has been general throughout the
country, and which has seriously inter-
ferred with the movement of cotton, is
responsible to some extent for to-day's
rise the chairman thinks it rather more
attributable to manipulation of the
three cliques of bull operators who are
credited with controlling the market in
New Orleans, New York and Liverpool.
The New Orleans clique and it's follow
ing is currently credited with the own
ership of halt million bales of spots
and futures. The New York clique,
known in the trade as the Boston syn
dicate,' is supposed to hold as much,
while the Liverpool market is dominat-
ed by group of Egyptian operators
with headquarters in Alexandria, whose
holdings are supposed to be at least
100000 bales.

RAID ON METROPOLITAN.
RUMORS LEAD TO EXCITING
CONDITIONS.

shares of Both the Operating and Hold
ing Companies suffer Reports of Ne
faication of Several Milton Dollars
and of Gross Irregularities Emphati :
caiiy DenIed-PartiaI Recovery of
Prices.
New York, Feb. 10, Rumors affecting
the financial policy OF, the Metropolitan
Street Railway company, which had
been current in the financial districts
for several weeks, eliminated to-day in
what appeared to be a bear attack on
the shares Of the Metropolitan company
and Metropolitan Securities, the hold
ing company of the operating line. % The
shares of both companies suffered se-
verely while the raid was on, the trac-
tion stocks making a maximum decline
of over three points and the securities
stock selling off even more. Partial
recovery was made by both issues be-
fore the close.
The attack on Metropolitan began
soon after the opening of the market
and gained in force shortly after noon,
when rumors of many sorts were circu-
lated. One of these rumors reported a
defalcation of several million dollars,
while another rumor limited at gross ir-
Irregularities by insiders. To add to the
feeling of distrust, there were heavy
sail mi
adelphia account
| Officials Of the Metropolitan company
made prompt denial of any trouble and
characterized all such rumors as mali
cious and inspired for stock -jobbing
purposes. This view was accepted by
| the conservative element in the
Street"
One of the partners in a leading
banking house which has close rela-
tions with Metropolitan interests stated
| that ahe had made an investigation into
| the reports circulated recently, and as
| a result of this investigation felt con-
vinced that they were without founda
| tiOn.
| Wall street recalled to-day that the
formation of the Metropolitan Securi-
ties company had not been made with
out some opposition on the part of
stockholders and certain speculative in
/ terests, the latter including q promi-
nent brokerage firm. 1t was also re-
called that bad blood has existed be-
tween some of the leading insiders in
Metropolitan and a very prominent
speculator. This feeling has existed IT
is said, since the time the Third avenue
street line was taken out of the late
Henry Harts control. 1t was suggest
ed that to-day's raid was engineered by
the speculative interest which so earn
estly opposed Metropolitan's control of
Third Avenue.
