COUPLING BROKE.
Saved Cars From Following Locomo-
tive Down an EmbanI1Inent.

New York, May 90.-The fireman
and engineer We're killed today when
the federal express on the New York.
New Haven & Hartford railroad left
the tracks while crossing the bridge at
Portchester. The locomotive and ten
der plunged down a, II foot embank-
ment. None of the ears went over,
the breaking of the coupling between
the tender and the first car saving the
train from being carried down into
the river.
OF the six cars three were totally
wrecked. while the trucks of the other
three were ripped out The train was
running al a high rate of speed and
one suggested possible cause of the
accident is that the engineer may have
died at his post.
The wrecked train is that on which
special armed guards were carried sew
eral weeks ago because of fear that an
organized band of train wreckers had
planned a wreck for the purpose of
robbery. Much treasure is carried on
this special and this fact aroused the
fears of the officials of the express
company and led to the employment of
special guards. On this train the cash
from the government repositories in
New England is usually carried to
Washington. Because of the valuable
contents of the train, detectives and
armed railroad employees surrounded
the wreck to prevent possible attempts
to loot the cars but there was nothing
discovered to connect train wrecxers
with the accident

JERSY REPUBLICANS.
Meet to Elect Delegates to the Chi

Trenton, n. j.. May 10.-The Republi-
can state convention met at noon today
to select delegates to the national con-
vention at Chicago. The convention was
called to order by Senator Stokes, who
introduced as temporary chairman of the
convention United States Senator John
Kean. Senator Kean said in part,
Happily we are not compelled, like our
opponents, the Democratic party, to seek
for an issue with a searchlight and for
candidate without a record or the gilc OF
political speech. We have a policy and
our policy is that which has always been
the policy of the Republican party, the
maintenance of our protection system and
the honest and economical administration
of the affairs of the government
When President Roosevelt was inform
ed there was any question as to the con-
duct of the affairs of the postoffice de-
partment. he at once set to work to have
that department thoroughly investigated
and the guilty men brought to trial They
were brought to trial, found guilty and
convicted and wherever wrong IS prac-
ticed and it can be discovered by our par
ty, that party is ready to correct that
wrong and punish those responsible for
It.
There has been somewhat of criticism
upon the conduct of the president in re-

more than four centuries, is about to be

During the Ashanti campaign Stan

WOlseley's troops for the New York
Herald, and returned to London just
in time to assist in the funeral of Liv-
ingstone in Westminster abbey.
In August, 1874. an expedition was
fitted out by the New York Herald
and the Daily Telegraph, with Stanley
in supreme command, for the purpose
of exploring equatorial Africa
In November of that year, with $50
men, he made for the southern shore
of the Victoria Nyanza. He circum-
navigated the lake, fixed its general
outline and passed to Lake Tangan-
yika and set himself to determine its
exact eOnhguration. There were nu-
merOus clashes with the natives. for
which he was severely criticised. 1t is
impossible to give even the barest
outlines of the story of Stanley's ten
months journey by which he traced
the course of the Congo and filed up
an enormous blank in the map of
Africa. When he reached the coast
all his white companions were dead
hardly a third of his native followers
survived and his own hair had turned
white.
Politically, Stanley's journey led to
the founding of the Congo Free State
and indirectly to the scramble for
Africa among the European powers.

The magnificent pipe organ recent
ly presented to the Cathedral of Pitts
burg by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie forms
one in a group of very large organs
recently erected by the w. w. Kim
ball Co.. of Chicago, and is the most
wonderful instrument in this line
have ever SEEM It is in all
respects one of the most complete in
struments possessed by any American
church. The secret of the
simplicity, compactness and evenness
of mechanism in the Kimball organ is
the Kimball Tubular Pneumatic Sys-
ten, by which the entire mechanism
is operated without the use of a spring
or any other mechanical device for
communicating motion. Everything
is done by wind pressure. and conse-
quently as long as the bellows holds
out the action is always in order. This
system, in its completeness, is con-
trolled by the Kimban company ex-
clusively, and may be expected to con-
tinue its extremely favorable record.

zen, in the district court, allowed an
injunction against Thomas L. Wilson,

tional Association of Machinists, J.
d. Buckalew, third vice president, and
ninety-three others, all employees in

manager of the Santa Fe. A. A. Hurd
and o. ]. Wood appear on the petition
as attorneys for the railroad.
Aorestraining A order had been drawn
up and printed ready for the sigma

parts. This necessitated the reprint

petition that the court restrain the
member of the machinists association

bers of the association be enjoined
from interfering with any men en-
ployed by the Santa Fe company in
the Topeka shops. The petition sets
forth that threats were made that
Workmen brought to Topeka to take
the place of the strikers would be in
terfered with and intimidated by the
strikers. The Santa Fe company ask
ed that the restraining order be against
such actions on the part of the 80 men
named in the petition.
The attorneys for the Santa Fe COM
pany appeared before Judge Hazen
late Monday afternoon just as he was
leaving the court room and filed the
petition asking for the restraining OIL
der. Judge Hazen granted the order,
with some changes. The attorneys for
the railroad company wished to keep
the matter of the injunction quiet un-
til copies of the restraining order could
be printed and served on each one of
the 80 defendants by Sheriff Lucas and
his force. The orders will be printed
and delivered to Lucas late this after
noon or early Wednesday morning and
