In making up the Parker column he

TRAIN WRECKS AUTO
Locomotive Brings Death to
Motor Car Party

NEW YORK, June 12.-Rounding a
curve at Van Cortlandt Park this after
noon, train on the Yonkers division of
the New York & Putnam railroad
crashed into an automobile, owned by
George Noakes, a restaurant keeper,
who lives on Riverside Drive
Frank B. Read, a paper manufac-
turer, of this city, was killed; the six
teen-year- old daughter of Mr.. Noakes
had her left foot cut off by the train,
and John Spencer, negro, the chauf-
feur, was SO badly injured that it is
believed he cannot recover. Mr.. and
Mrs. Noakes and their six-year-old son
escaped with a few bruises.
The train was hidden by a heavy
clump of trees as it approached the
Van Cortlandt Park station, and just as
1t came into sight from the crossing
the auto came swiftly along toward the
tracks. 1t was impossible then to avoid
collision, and hundreds of persons on
the golf links which parallel the tracks,
saw the heavy touring car demolished.
Miss Noa1es was the only one who
was not thrown from the auto Mr..
and Mrs. Noakes and their young son
were flung onto the soft greenswerd of
the golfing ground, and their injuries
were slight.

CHICAGO, June 12.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Tribune sends
the following resume of the Democratic
presidential campaign to his paper:
Within the last week or so the Demo
cratic situation has cleared up materially.
Nowhere has there been such develop
ment, however. as in New jersey. Sew
enteen of the twenty-fo delegates from
that state have agreed to support Parker
The delegation acts under the unit rule
and the vote for Parker was taken only
after personal assurances had been given
to each delegate that Grover Cleveland
could not and would not be a candidate
that he did not desire the delegation to
vote for him, that he would decline the
honor if nominated by the Democratic
convention, and finally on the whole that
he preferred Parker to any one who had
any chance for the nomination
Eleven out of the seventeen Parker
delegates met in Jersey City and there
received written assurances from the
other SIX, who also declared themselves
for Parker. This action was taken OPEN
Iy and in direct opposition to the wishes
of former Senator James Smith. who
sought to keep the delegation as whole
uncommitted to any candidate. AS Park
er has more than two-thirds of the dele
cation the vote of the state will be cast
for him On the first ballot but as a mat
ter of courtesy to Mr.. Smith, who is pop
ular with New Jersey Democrats, he will
be chosen chairman of the delegation
During the last week Judge Parker
also has gained materially in other sec
tions of the country. The twenty-six
votes Of Georgia We're instructed for him.
although such action is not customary in
that state. Besides that, Kentucky and
West Virginia directed their delegates to
act under the unit rule and selected al
most unanimous delegations in each case.
There were local fights in Kentucky and
Virginia, but the anti-Parker men are
exceedingly few in number, and will be
swallowed up in each case by the opera
ton of the unit rule. In these three
Southern states Judge Parker gained sew
enty-siX votes during the last week Add
ing the twentyfour of New Jersey, which
were made certain for him, the New York
judge has developed a reasonably certain
gain of 100 votes in single week

BILLIONS IN MINES
John D. Rockefeller Back of a
Stupendous Combine
Snecial to The Globe

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, June 12.- The an
nouncement will be made soon of a
gigantic new combination of capital in
the United States and Europe. 1t is
nothing less than an amalgamation of
valuable mines in America, and the
man who is to consummate this stu
pendous transaction is John ID. Rookie
feller. Men who have some knowledge
of work now going on in furtherance of
the plan say the corporation under
which the hig mining interests are to
be mergeu will have par capital of
$4,000. 100000. 1t is expected to control
absolutely the mineral output of the
United States except, possibly, that of
the Calumet and Hecla copper mines of
Michigan.
Dennis Ryan, of ST. Paul, is in this
city, and is said to have been the means
Of selling to Rockefeller within the past
week a group of gold and copper min
ing properties in Washington and
Southern British Columbia. Ryan
would not confirm the report. When
asked about Rockefeller's proposed
combination he said:
Il don't know very much about it, ex-
cept when he gets things in working
shape and springs them on the public
1T will take the peoples breath away.
When he discloSes what he controls in
the way of mines that are producing
real ore, he will make mining specula-
tors of the world wonder whether they

STEAMERS COLLIDE;
FIVE ARE DROWNED
St. Lawrence River Passenger

MONTREAL, Que, June II The
Richefieu e Ontario Navigation COM

Quebec for Montreal, came into COL
lision with the Dominion Coal COM
panys collier Cape Breton, six miles
below Sorel early today. Twenty min

TOM
At the time Of the collision there
We're 110 people on board the Canada.
Five were lost; the others were res
cued.
Those who perished were:
Alfred Thibeault, ticket agent of the
company at Quebec, and his two sons,
aged twelve and fifteen.
Purser Bonneterre, of the Canada.
A man named Brunnet, of Sorel, is
missing, and it is supposed that he per-
ished
The collision occurred just as dawn
was breaking. The Cape Breton lay at
the entrance of Lake ST. Peter channel
waiting for daylight so as to find her
way through. She was getting under
way when the Canada, making for Sorel
at full speed. came into view.
Officers Refuse to Talk
and who is responsible for it has not
yet been determined. The officers of
the Canada decline to talk, but from
the statements given out it would ap-
pear that the Cape Breton had not got
headway on enough to answer her rud-
der, and that she swerved across the
path Of the passenger boat, her bow
striking the Canada just forward of the
paddle box of the starboard side, tear
ing its way half through. Then the
Cape Breton swung clear and the two
steamers came alongside one another.
The shock of the collision aroused the
sleeping passengers. The Canada at
once began to settle, and as the Cape
Breton did not appear to be seriously
damaged the passengers were hurriedly
transferred to this steamer. In the ex-
citement some of the passengers
jumped overheard and were picked up
by boats from the Canada and the Cape
Breton, but a great majority of those
on board did not become excited while
the discipline shown by the crew of the
Canada was excellent.
Twenty minutes later, when the Can
ada went down alongside the Cape Bre-
ton, resting on her side in the mud, all

Killed in Their Berths
Thfoeault and his two sons occupied
stateroom near where the Cape Bre-
toms bow entered the Canada, and it is
supposed that they were killed in their
berths. The body of the father was re-
covered later in the day, but the re-
mains of the two sons have not been
found
Bonneterre, the purser, was seen
after the collision, making his way to
his quarters on the lower deck, with
the intention of saving his cash and his
records, and it is supposed that he per-
ished in the attempt. Brunnet was a
second-class passenger and no one saw
| him after the collision, though it is just
| possible that he went ashore with the
crew of one of the boats which was sent
| to secure help from Sorel.
Assist zee arrived about 4 o'clock
this afternoon, the steam barge Prefon-
| taine having been found in the harbor
with steam up. The Prefontaine took
| the passengers and crew to Sorel, and
they were brought up to this city this
afternoon on board the company's

GUITAR BFTRAYS
BOLD BURGLAR
Man, When Discovered, Throws
Woman Down Stairs
and Escapes


The twang Of a guitar string, which
a burglar touched while going through
a sideboard in the residence of Her
bert Evans, 463 Selby avenue, yester-
day morning at 2 o'clock, apprised
Mrs. Evans of the presence of the in
truder, who had boldly broken into
the house through the rear door and
was searching through the rooms after
lighting the lamp.
When Mrs. Evans became aware
that the burglar was in the house she
left her bed and rushing to the stairs
ordered the man to leave the house,
threatening to shoot him if he did not
refused to become alarmed by the
threat and daringly came up the stairs
with a door brick in his hand. He
brushed past Mrs. Evans on the stairs
and entered her sleeping room, where
her sister, Miss Emma Paulson, and
two children were in bed.
The burglar rushed to Miss Paul
sons bed, but she reached the window,
which she threw up and commenced
to scream loudly for help. The in
truder, frightened by the noise turned
about and hurried to the steps, where,
encountering Mrs. Evans on the land
ing, he brutally threw her down the
flight and ran down after her, tram
pling upon her at the bottom of the
stairs. He succeeded in making his
escape.
The burglar forced an entrance
through the back door by prying it
open with an ak which he picked up in
the back yard. He lighted the lamp
when he got in and was in the act of
going through the sideboard when the
twang of a guitar string, which he
accidentally touched, was heard by
Mrs. Evans, who was in bed on the
second floor Mr.. Evans, being en-
ployed at night, was not at home, but
Miss Paulson and the two children,
girl of six and a boy of three, were
with Mrs. Evans in the room. Mrs.
Evans had been awakened by a noise
but was unable to distinguish what it
was. She called to her sister who
awoke, and not hearing anything, de-
clared that Mrs. Evans had been
dreaming. Nothing was heard for some
time, till the guitar strings twang
broke the stiffness.
Burglar in tht Doorway
There is some fne in the house,
sure enough" said Mrs. Evans, leaping
from bed and fastening to the hallway.
AT that instant the burglar, who evil
IDENTIFY had heard the movement in the
room overhead opened a door be-
tween the dining room and the front
hall and stood revealed to Mrs. Evans
by the flood of light from the room
where the lamp was burning. The
mal. was a short, heavy-set fellow
wearing slouch hat pulled down over
his forehead SO far that his features
could not be distinguished.
Mrs. Evans, who had been i'll, was
| severely shocked by the excitement OF
| the experience and the injuries she re-
ceived by being thrown down the steps
and was in a serious condition last
night.
Aroused by the cries of Miss Paul
son neighbors called the police who
arrived shortly after. The burglar
had disappeared and no trace of hin
was found. The man had evidently at
| tempted to carry off all he could il
his flight, as silverware was found
strewn in the backyard from the real
door to the gate in the fence and the
| tell-tale guitar was found in the alley
