THE FOREST RESERVES.
Land Commissioner Herman Favors
Their Consideration.

4
Washington, Jan. 2S.-Commissioner
Hermann of the general land office, has
recommended to the secretary of the
interior a consolidation of and large
additions to the various forest reserves
in Wyoming and Montana, adjoining
the main Yellowstone area. The es-
timated area of the proposed enlarged
Yellowstone reserve is as follows:
Absaroka, 1,311,600 acres Yellow
stone, 1,s34,240; Teton, 4,127, 1850; total
7,273,200; additions now proposed, 1O2,-
060; grand total. S.375.260. These con-
solidated reserves will be known as
the Yellowstone forest reserve In wy
oming and Montana.
The boundaries for the additions to
the reserve have been so drawn as to
exclude all adverse holdings. AS the
additions are practically unsurveye,l
so that the sections 16 and SO of each
township have not passed to the state
this will not follow the usual selections
based on these sections where sur
veyed townships are added to the res
ervations.
According to Commissioner Herr
mann the proposed additions will rcsul.
IN only minutely small number OF
lieu land selections If any at all, as
he is opposed to creating any mora
reserves which will permit owners of
so much practically worthless land to
surrender it to the government, and in
lieu thereof select valuable lands else.

The case of Paymaster j. C. Sulli-

report of the examining board to the
effect that his mind was not normal

This report is not regarded as con-
elusive by the department and Acting

examining board for a more specific
statement of the actual condition OF

+ - SSbSSsuSUS tutS0s
New York, Jan. 2S.-Official investi-
cation is to be made of charges against
the nurse training system in Bellevue
hospital made by John Santa Rosa, a
nurse who recently resigned. In an
affidavit Rosa states that men nurses
were in the custom of giving powerful
injections of strychnine to dying pa
tients in order to prolong their lives
until after the close of the period of
duty of the nurses in attendance The
alleged object of this procedure was to
shirk the duty of laying out" the bod
les. Other grave Irregularities are also
charged. The nurses make general de-
NAL of Rosa's charges, but say their
work is too hard. One nurse. they as
sert, sometimes has from sixteen to
twenty-five patients to take care of at
night. and these patients have to be
watched closely.

The Earlier Accounts.

New York, Jan. 2S.-One of the most
appalling railroad wrecks that occur
red in the vicinity of New York in many
years, and an estimated loss of life
ranging from twelve to thirty, hap
pened last night at Graceiand, on the
Central railway, New Jersey. when the
Royal Blue line express ploughed at top
speed into the rear Of a local train.
Immediately after the crash, the
three shattered cars OF the local took
fire, rendering impossible the rescue OF
the many wounded who were pinned in
the wreck. Many bodies are believed to
have been consumed.
Passengers on the flyer escaped un-
Injured except for trifling bruises.
The Royal Blue. west bound. fifteen
minutes late and running at high
speed, overlook the slower train just
beyond Graceland. The heavy engine
OF the flyer tore its way into the rear
car and two other cars were driven into
those in front, the three being torn to
pieces.
The flyers engine fell on It's side,
the engineer and firemen going down in
the wreck They are now In the hospit-
al at Plainfield. The engineer will die.
The fagman OF the local was sent
back but recalled when the train got
under way. He left torpedoes, but
they did not stop the Royal Blue. The
man sent back to flag the train had
just swung into the rear of his train
and is among the dead.
The engine and three of the worst
wrecked cars, We're piled in a heap,
L containing at least 100 dead and in
jured. From the mass came feareful
cries for aid. A minute later the
wreck caught fire. The screams of she
injured In the heap were intensified as
they found themselves hemmed in by
the flames. The uninjured passengers
and trafnmen went to work at once to
rescue the Injured.
AT this the flames reached the res
(, cuers and their clothing took fire, but
they continued taking many from the
wreck. Some OF the injured were
burned to death In sight OF the men
working with desperation to save them,
but the flames soon gained complete
mastery.
a score of physicians was brought
from neighboring towns and the cars
of the flyer were converted into hospi-
tails. The dead as taken out were laid
IN row along side the track.
The flames were extinguished and the
work of recovering the bodies begun
Out of the first car eight bodies We're
ta!sen. The sight while the wreck was
burning was horrifying.
Men could be seen in the wreckage
pinned fast amid the timbers and
struggling to be free while the flames
roared around them. The rescuers wer.
helpless to aid them as they already
had been driven from the wreck by the
fiames.
The imprisoned ones begged for
death to end their agonies and i'm
piored those laboring to get them free
to crush their heads with the axes
being used to chop away the wreck

One of those who tried to take out

Enid, Okla, Jan. GA reporter Wis
tied the home of Rev. Harper, minister
of the First Methodist church of this
city, and there interviewed Mrs Har-
per, his wife, whose personal knowl-
edge and acquaintance all tends strong
ly to support the view that seems to be
strengthening itself in the minds of
the public, that it is ]. Wilkes Booth
who is now on exhibition at the I'M
dertakers establishment, instead of D.
E. George.
She said that when he was sick at
her home, he called her and said: Il

am going to die in few minutes, and
must tell some one. believe you are
a friend and 1 don't believe you would
do anything to injure me; you will
keep my secret until after 1 am dead?"
He said: Ibid it ever occur to you that
was anything but an ordinary painter;
told you once before and you laughed
at me. Now am going TO tell you-I
killed one of the best men that ever
lived 1 asked him who it was and he
said Abraham Lincoln
HE said men in high official life
hated Lincoln and promised him
great reward if he and another man
would kill Lincoln, Seward and several
others. He said they occupied high
official offices at the time; and there
were half a dozen more they had
picked out to assassinate; that when he
killed Lincoln he jumped down off the
stage and broke his right leg; that
there were people right there that
helped him get away, southern friends,
that took him to a place of hiding.
They disguised him and took him in
boat to the Potomac river, then to
Chesapeake Bay. There they got into
large vessel and they went to Europe"
He said that Mrs. Surratt, where ne
and his comrade boarded, was per-
fectly innocent, but that she was hung
and that he was responsible for her
death, and several others.
