GENEsEo, n. Y. June 20.-Clarence Hall,
first whip Of the Genesee Valley Hunt, was
shot last night at the keepers home near the
foxhound kennels, and seriously wounded
Mr.. Hall was awakened at midnight by an
unusual uproar among the hounds. He
opened the door of his cottage to investi-
gate, when some one fired q shot from re-
volver at short range. The bullet struck
Hall in the left arm, shattering the bone
and making flesh wound in the side. Hall
slammed the door shut and started for his
revolver. Another shot was fired through
the window. This time the bullet pissed
through Halls hat He ran outside. but
could find no one. Then he started for the
homestead TO notify Major James W.
Wadsworth, who, having heard the shots,
had started for the cottage. The person
who fired the shots could not be found.
The shooting was most mysterious and
IL is not known whether Hall was mistaken
for somebody else and shot or whether
hound thieves were at work. young
woman was seen about the village during
the evening. and as she had no known con-
ncction with the hunt her presence caused
remark. The local officers are working on
the theory that the woman had something
to do with the shooting

IIead.On Collision on Champlain Division
Of the Delaware and Hudson.

GLENs FALLS. n. Y, June 2D.-Four men
were killed and two injured in head-on
collision this morning on the Champlan
division of the Delaware and Hudson Rail-
road two miles north OF Dresden. A light
engine, in charge of Henry w. Collins, with
Fireman Frank Moore, was running north
with orders 10 follow the Montreal slee per.
The sleeper met at Pulpit Point south-
bound freight. which pulled out on the
main line. Conductor Barker and Engineer
Dnrmody, it is said, being ignorant Of the
wild engine following. Acrash soon came.
and Collins, Moore and Fred Ryan, a
brakeman, who was also on the light engine,
and Fred Bellegartle. the fireman on the
freight, were killed instantly.
Engineer Darmody and Brakeman Cheney
of the freight were injured, but will recover.
The men Killed all lived in Whitehall and
leave families.
Officers of the road have investigated
to-day, but have been unable to determine
whether 1t was the fault of the engineer OF
the sleeper In not displaying the signal of
train following or the fault Of the freight
engineer in not seeing such signal. Coroner
jackson. after an inquest, has found the
freight train crew at fault and has rendered
a verdict OF accidental death through neglect
by the train men to obey signals. Traffic
on the road was tied up for hours. One
locomotive was demolished.

for just an even half of these irregularities.
The irreg ularity for which Mr.. Loud IL
responsible was the railroading into the SER
vice, at the request OF former Superintend-
ent Machen of the free delivery division, OF
Henry A. Machen, the accused officer
brother. The three railroad" cases for
which, according TO the records Of the
Civil Service Commission, Mr.. Loud is
responsible, are those of James O'Connell,
n relative Of Mr.. Loud, Henry A. Machen
and j. =. Brewster. They were all APP
pointed about the same time. the first on
April 0, and the latter on April %.
These three irregularities are more glar-
ing than any others on the civil service
list. The three men were first appointed
to the Bakersfield (Cal) post Office, and
in the cases of OConnell and Machen, only
seven days elapsed before the request
for transfer" which ia the technical term
for the railroading process, was made.
after about month had elapsed. The
transfers were made in short order.
To arrive at an understanding OF the
4railroading" process it Is only necessary
were made the Bakersfield office was -un-
classified" That trifling bar to the rail
reading process was removed however,
several days after the men named were
placed on the Office rolls. Four Others

invest eating Irregularities. who were
brought into the service in the same way.
are r. NJ Fulton, Raleigh Hosford, Isaac
S. 7 Gregg and f. II. Thorp.
A little further light is thrown on the
mixed-up situation by the fact that when
Supt Machen, just before he was suspended
prior to his recent arrest, read published
interview with former Representative Loud,
in which that gentleman roasted the free
delivery service in general and Supt Machen
in particular, he grew positively purple
in the face.
why. by God" he cried, Loud dare
not talk that way about me. III put him
on the bum. I'm not talking wildly. I've
got letters, letters, letters and If necessary
III publish them in every paper in tho
country"
Mr.. 'Machen was later asked what he
meant by Letters, letters, letters but
he had Gained down in the interva and re-
fused to discuss the matter, save to say that
Loud had better be careful"
Since Machen has been under Indictment
he has refused, by Instructions Of his law,
yers. to discuss any phase Of the. scandal
in which he is enmeshed. But there are
those familiar with the inquiry who think
that Machen's testimony at his trial next
fall will be worth going a long way to hear.

WESTERN UNION AND p. n. r.
supreme Court Issues an Order Prohibiting
Any More Pole Cutting.


BALTIMORE, June 2O.-The United States
Supreme Court has now taken a hand in
the contest between the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and the Western Union Telegraph
Company. A local reflection OF this contest
is the case now pending before Judge Morris
of the United States Circuit Court in which
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
through its counsel, Attorney General
Isador Rayner. has asked for an order en-
joining the Philadelphia Baltimore and
Washington Railroad from interfering with
its telegraph lines along the railroad
The United States Supreme Court has,
however granted an injunction restraining
the Pennsylvania Railroad from interfering
with any of the lines OF the telegraph COM
pany. When seen to-day about the action
of the Supreme Court Mr.. Rayner said:
Il have advices from Washington con-
firming the statement that the Supreme
Court has granted an order prohibiting
the Pennsylvania Railroad from inter
fering with the telegraph system of the
Western Union Telegraph Company upon
the lines Of the railroad This Ia the case
from tho Third Circuit in which the Court
of Appeals sitting in Philadelphia declined
to pass the order for a stay OF execution
pending the appeal.
at now appears that he Supreme Court
has taken hold of the matter and granted
the injunction, which keeps the property
in statu quo until the final decision Is reached
on the main ease at the next term of the
Supreme Couit OF the United States"

BELGRADE, June 2O.--M. Kalievtch. the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, has issued
a statement which may be regarded A.
the official explanation of the views Of the
government in regard to recent events.
In reference to the recall of Sir q. Bon
ham, the British Minister, he expresses
deep indignation at the intention of Great
Britain. indicated by this fact, to hold the
present Servnn Government respo nsible
for the murders.
NJ. kalievitch expresses regret that Queen
Draga persisted, all the more 30 as her death
was by no means necessary. even though
she had been detested by the whole country
from the moment she presumed to put the
crown ON her unworthy head
The upheaval was the work of a number
OF officers who had resolved to prevent
the proclamation Of Queen Draga's brother
as heir to the throne. 1t was sanctioned
by the army and the whole country.
The declaration goes on to point out the
devotion, patriotism and courage of the
members of the provisional government
in sinking party differences and taking up
the reins of power at a critical moment
in the absence of all authority Proof
of their great service is to be found in the
peace and order which is now prevailing

BUFFALO, June 2O.-The police Of New
York. Chicago and other large cities have
been notified by the local police to watch
out for Arthur Nagel, 10 years old. who
disappeared to-day with $500 belonging
to the Third National Bank of Buffalo At
II O'Clock this forenoon Nagel received
the money from the cashier Of the bank
and was directed, in his capacity Of mes
senger of the bank, to take the money TO
the Clearing House. one block below the
bank, on Main street.
That was the last seen Of Nagel. The
bank officials waited until noon, suspectipe
nothing wrong. but when Nagel failed to
appear the police were asked to find him
The search was fruitless. Nagel is sup
posed to have the money because it was
not turned in at the Clearing House.
Owing to the excellent reputation here
tofore borne by Nagel many of his friends
are inclined to believe that he did not steal
the money. but that he may have met with
foul play. The police are not neglecting
that theory and are making a search OF
places into which the youth might have
been lured and robbed Nagels parents
refuse to believe that the boy stole the
money.
