MISSISSIPPIAN'S MANIA.
Sends Money Orders Worth Nickel to Roosevelt and Many
 Other Men.

Albany, N. r.. Jan. 1S.-A man who calls himself Samuel Sanders. and is re- puted to reside in Lexington. Miss, has been flooding the local postofhce with money orders for 5 cents and upwards, made payable to President Roosevelt Senator Platt, Senator Depew, Senator Murphy, ex-Governor Hill. Bird 8. Coler, Richard Croker, the late President Mo- Kinley and the late Speaker ThoUas B. Reed. The amount of each order was cents with the exception of one sent to David B. Hnl for $1 intended as re- tainer in a legal case and received by MT. Hill yesterday. MT. Hin and the other recipients ignored the order.
 The postoffice officials have been an- moved by this man for the past two or three years. and several months ago Postmaster Argensinger notified the post master at Lexington, Miss, to stop issu- ing money orders for such small amounts to Sanders. This had the desired effect until a few days ago. when a money or der sent by Sanders and issued to Bird 8. Coler was received in this city from Pick ems. Miss.
 It is believed that Sanders must have had some trouble with the authorities at the above postoffice in Mississippi. for he iourneved to Ebenezer. Miss. about forty miles distant from the other places men toned. to send the latest orders.

BOY THE CAUSE OF WRECK
Interferencs of Messenger Sends Several Persons to Their
 naath


 Cumberland, Md. Jan. 16-Through the alleged interference of a messenger boy a wreck was caused early this morning in which four employees of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were killed and three injured. Three of the men killed live in Baltimore and the fourth was 6 resident of Cumberland. The killed are ;

 Those injured: T. J. Hendricks, conduct or. Baltimore. bruised about the body; W. N. Christopher, engineer. Baltimore. bruised; King. conductor, Cumberland.
 The wreck was due to the displaying of a false signal. giving train No. 1O when in the next block ahead there was stand ing on the track caboose and two en- gines. The passenger train was drawn. hy two engines. and they crashed through the caboose and engines which obstruct- ed the track. Eunkily the train had Lot attained It's full yseed and was only uaOv- ing at the rate ,1f' twenty mflSs san nour when the collision came. The postal car Of the passenger train was deraiied, but the passenger coaches did not leave the track, and the occupants escaped injury.
 It is charged a messenger boy nan'ed Turner, who was in the block tower when No. 10 came along, hearing the en- Rineer whistle for clear tracks, pulled a lever giviug him a clear signal The op- orator had. it Is explained. previously set the signal at danger. While his atten- ton was beinng devoted to communicat- ing with the succeeding block stations, the boy, 1t is alleged, pulled the lever that gave the train the signal that it nad clear track ahead and the operator was not aware of what was done until the crash came. /,
 After the wreck the passenger train was taken back to Cumberland, subse- auently proceeding to Baltimore. The in- iured were sent to the hospital !n this
