MANY TRAINS ON The
CONSOLIDATED TIED UP
ONE HAS VERY NARROW ESCAPE
IN NEW YORK.

Immense Bridge Trusses Fall in Cut
and Block Travel for Hours Both on
the Consolidated and New York Cen
traI-Quick Work Of FIagmen Pre-
vents Other Serious Accidents.
New York, Aug. 12.-The north bound
Boston express Of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad this after
noon loosened the blocking under a
thirty-five ton truss of the new driving
bridge over the railroad tracks at 2O4th
street and Bronx park, and the truss
turned over, precipitating the other
trusses of the same weight and TWEEN
ty-ton girder to which they were at
tached in the railroad cut. The last
car of the express was about 300 feet
beyond the bridge when the trusses fell,
and the train had a narrow escape.
Five men were working on the truss
that turned over and three of them
fell. two Of whom were seriously in
Ijured. Frederick Hartman, thirty-one
years old, will probably die. ..
The railroad cut at that place car
ries four tracks, two of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford and two Of
the Harlem River division of the New
York Central. On account of the dam
gerous work, two fiagmen have been
stationed there since the work of build
ing the bridge began. AS soon as the
crash came one flagman ran north and
the othere south. The fagman who
v ent south tagged the White Plains
express, going forty miles an hour.
about a quarter of mile below the
scene Of the accident. The train came
to a stop about 100 yards below the
bridge.
The accident resulted in a complete
tie-up, and 1t is said that at least
twelve hours will be required to clear
the tracks.

sian throne was born at 1890 o'clock
this afternoon.
The capital tonight Is divided be-
tween rejoicing over the birth Of an heir
to the throne. and anxiety as to the fate
of the Port Arthur squadron. As has
happened on several occasions since the
war began, a fete day at the capital CO.
incides with an important development
at the front and national thanksgiving
| is tempered with solemnity.
St Petersburg, Aug 134 a. m This
morning the empress and the heir to
the throne are both making satisfac-
tory progress.
An imperial manifesto is published
Announcing the birth of an heir. 1t IN
lvites all Russian subjects to offer their

In receiving the congratulations OF

brief reply said: am happier at the
birth Of a son and heir than at VIC
tory of my troops, for now face the
future calmly and without alarm,
knowing by this sign that the war will
be brought to happy conclusion.
ST Petersburg, Aug. 1880 a. M
The official announcement of the birth
OF an heir to the throne was first made
| in the following proclamation, issued
by Emperor Nicholas at the Peterhof
palace. The proclamation is dated July
80 (Russian style, but it was not dis
tributed until early this morning:
BY the grace OF God, we, Emperor
Nicholas II, emperor and autocrat of all
the Russias, czar Of Poland, grand duke

Washington, Aug. 12.The capture by.
Japanese torpedo boat destroyers Of the
Russian destroyer Ryeshitelni in the
|harbor Of Chefoo. which came to Wash
ington in a cable message from Consul
General Fowler to-day, was received
with the deepest interest and concern,
for 1t was realized that there were in
this incident the germs of serious inter-
national trouble, Mr.. Fowler spoke Of
the affair as a .'cutting-out expedition,
thereby differing in an important point
from the press dispatches, which at
first reading appeared to indicate that
the seizure Of the Russian boat was in
at least some degree caused by the ac-
tion of the captain of the craft in at
tacking the Japanese boarding lieuten-
ant. 1t may be that upon this point
will turn the decision as to whether
there has been a violation Of Chinese
neutrality by the Japanese.
st. Petersburg, Aug, 134 a. NIT is
stated here that both France and Ger
many are supporting at Pelzin the pro-
test Of the Russian government against
the action Of the Japanese torpedo boat
destroyers in attacking the Russian
torpedo boat destroyer Ryeshitelni in
the harbor Of Chefoo.
London. Aug. 13.The general opinion
'of the London morning newspapers is
that Japan will make atonement for the
Ryeshitelni affair by restoring the ship
tc the Chinese authorities. but at the
same time 1t is admitted that interna-
tionaI obligations have SO frequently
been thrust aside during the course Of
the war that Japan may possibly feel
entitled to make a law unto herself.
The greatest interest is evinced in
the outcome Of the naval battle throw
ing light on which no further news has
reached London.
Paris, Aug. 1S.The Ryeshitelni in
cident is severely commented on by all
the Paris newspapers and the lack of
faction on the part of the Chinese is
much criticised. The Journal says:
China has now good opportunity to
prove that her neutrality is not a mere
empty word. She must take the initiat-
I've by an immediate demand for re
paration, in which it will be the duty of
all the neutral powers to combine
The news Of the incident was received
here too late to receive the official
view Of the foreign office.

It was reported from Chefoo yester-
day that the japanese protected cruiser
Kasagi was sunk off Round Island dur
ing the naval engagement on Wednes-
day last. The vessel then referred to
may have been the Kasuga, reported in

pany from st. Petersburg.
On August last a newspaper of
Rome announced in a, dispatch from
Toxic that the Kasuga, had been sunk,
but this was subsequently officially de-

for Germany's advice regarding the sit
