JAMES SpEYER IN WRECK
Trying to Break Record His Train in
 Mexico Left Rails.

Laredo, Tex, Oct 26.-The special train which left over the line of the National Mexican railroad bearing James Speyer of the banking firm of Speyer & Go of New York, while go- ing at high rate of speed was ditched yesterday between Sanchez and La Ja- rita, about 25 mics south of here.
 Both coaches comprising the special train left the track. The engine, how ever, remained on the rails. Conductor Sharkey was injured.
 A special train last night brought back the members of the party. MT Speyer is uninjured. J. F. Davis of New York received painful cuts about the face, but is otherwise uninjured.
 The wreck, it is said, was the result of the condition of the roadbed, and the high speed (75 miles an hour) at which the train was going at the time. It was the intention of the railroad Of ficials to endeavor to establish a new record between here and Mexico City.

STATE BOARD A. 0. H.
Politics Have No Place in Meeting De-
 Alterations.

The state board of the A. o. H. held meeting ill Hartford yesterday, ali the members being present except the chaplain. Father Kennedy of Montville who is i'll. The board is made up as follows:
 State president, John P. Murphy, Norwich.
 State vice-president, John H. McMur- ray, Bridgeport.
 State secretary, John F. Sheehan. Waterbury.
 State treasurer, Edward T. Lyons, Hartford.
 Cof1T. J. Murphy, Bridgeport. a,ttf {,
 County officers, John S. Mccarthy, representing New Haven county; Pat rick Gleeson Litchfeld county; Philip J. Sullivan, Hartford county; David Horgan, Holland county; John Brans- field, Middlesex county; Dennis S. Mur- phy, New London county; Michaei Mullens, Fairfield county; Joseph F. Ryan, Windham county; Rev Father Kennedy, chaplain, Montville.
 A resolution was passed authorizing the state officers to prepare and pre- sent to John D. Cunningham of New. Haven set of resolutions expressing the appreciation of the order for his service during the 9 years which he dC&Su dS SLdLG secretary.
 One of the cardinal principles of the order is that politics shall have no place in the deliberations of the meetings and that no concerted ac- tion shall be taken for or against any political organization, but the attitude of the Irish World and the Boston Pilot was considered such an infringe ment upon the rights of citizens to I,n4x, as their conscience dictated without being subjected to ridicule, the board felt called upon to take some action on the matter and resolution was unanimously passed protesting against the abuse of electors of Irish blood and Roman Catholics who see fit to differ with these papers on po- litical issues. MT Sheehan said to-day that this step was taken not with view to helping or hindering any political candidate or party, but solely to emphasize the right of citizens of Irish nationality and Roman Catholics to judge for themselves in politics. The board had no objection to these papers for their support of the repuD- lican party, nor for using any argu- ment they could think of to win others to their way of thinking, but they were very much opposed to screeds appearing in these journals refecting upon the intelligence and patriotism of Irishmen and Catholics who might decide to vote for the candidates of other political parties. The organiza- tion has q large number of members in all parts of the country who are prominently identified with the two great political parties and the aim of the order in Connecticut is to hold them to q strict observance of the rules, which strictly prohibit the intro duction of politics into the society. In other words, they believe that Irish men and Roman Catholics should vote as American citizens and be appealed to as such, not as Irishmen and Roman Catholics

POLICE COURT DDINCS
Case for Embezzling $50 Will Be
 Heard Friday norning.

The case against Albert DeAmicico, alias Pietro Ciaccio, for embedding $50 from the Barbers' union, will not be heard until Friday morning, to which time it was continued this morning by Judge Burpee in the city court. There are two counts against DeAmicico, one claiming he took mon ey in August and the other that he took more in September. This money was appropriated from the unions treasury and was to have been sent by DeAmicico to the national headquar- ters of the union. 1t seems that in- stead Of carrying out the vote of the union he went into business with the money, starting barDer's shop in Waterville. To conceal his identity he changed his name to Petro Cdaccio. Last evening he was released on bail of $500.
 John Finders was given thirty days in Brookside. Not very long ago Pin (Iers would have given half q dozen DO licemen all they could do to take him to the station house. This morning he was all bent and broken up. He was found drunk yesterday on East Main street.

REPUBLICANS RUNNING.
Great Scramble for Brewers Place
 on County Board.

The number of candidates for the post of county commissioners to sue ceed the late Charles Brewer, until the place is permanently filled by the general assembly, increases apace with time. Scarcely was the funeral over yesterday" said friend of the de ceased to-day, before petitions favor ing candidates were in active circula- tion." Among those mentioned as possible successors to the late Mir Brewer are George Bicknell of Meri-: den; Lieutenant Colonel Geddes, Dep uty Sheriff William Gillette, Colonel Doherty, Captain Carter and J. A. Ed moRdson of Waterbury; R. H. Tucker of Ansonia; Judge Bryant of West Ha- ven.
 Robert o. Eaton of North Haven, 1t is understood, does not want the place.
 MT Eaton already holds the appoint ment of deputy dairy commissioners. He Is a politician of much power and exceeding smoothness. Mir Bicknell is one of the present representatives in the legislature from Meriden. He is also nominated for senator by the re publicans of the 18th district He made the speech presenting Governor Chamberlain's name for renomination at the last convention.
 MT Brewer was appointed by the legislature of 1903 for term of four years. which expires July I. 1907. Under the statutes. the government is empowered to fill vacancies which may arise until Wednesday of the third week of the next regular session of the general assembly"
 As soon as the assembly meets, the New Haven county republican caucus will get busy and nominate a man to fill the vacancy, whereupon the man appointed by the governor will step down and out, unless he happens to be the same recommended by the caucus.
 The surviving members of the board of county commissioners, E. Foote Thompson and Jacob D. Walter. have been practically performing most of the work of the office for the last year and a half or during such times as. the late MT Brewer was incapacitated be- cause of his physical infirnity, and the friends of the board say that they see no reason why there should be any hurry i'll the selection of successor to MT Brewer, inasmuch as the two commissioners will probably be able to transact the business until January, when the general assembly convenes and a permanent appointment can be | made

st. Louis, July 10. - Twenty thou
sand members of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and the ladies' auxiliary
of that organization have assembled
here to attend the national convention
of the two bodies. One of the most
important measures to be presented
to the convention is the movement to
establish monument to the memory
of Commodore Jack Berry, an officer
in the American navy during the rev.
olutionary war, in Lafayette square,
Washington, between the statues of
Lafayette and Rochambeau. A spir-
tied contest seems inevitable over the
election of national secretary. Six
candidates are now in the field.

More Than One Thousand Russians
Killed or WOnnd d, According to
General Kur pa. .kin's Report - At
tack Made mt Nigh, Battle Of
Fifteen Hours Following.
London, July 10. - The correspon.
dent of the Times at General KErolsi's
headquarters says that the Japan $50
losses during the fighting at Molten
pass on July II were tri1ing.
st. Petersburg, July 19.-The Rus.
sian and Japanese forces which are
lined up, expecting a clash, engaged
In serious fight Sunday morning, ac-
cording to report from General Ku.
ropatlSin just received here. The re.
port indicates that the Japanese mis-.
interpreted the movement, and in
stead of it being an attempt to take
Molten pass it was a reconnaissance
on a large scale.
General Count Keller's account of
the fighting does not especially state
the number Of men engaged though it
consists of 1S battalions, with consid
cradle reserves, three battalions of
the latter being called upon during
the course of the Is hours battle,
while still others were not utilized.
An important fact developed by the
reconnaissance was the exact location
Of a powerful Japanese force secreted
In thn h,i nd
Molten passes. It's strength is indi.
Gated by the fact that 81 battalions
were insufficient to permanently force
the Japanese positions, though some
of them were occupied temporarily.
On the other hand, it would appear
from the report that the Japanese
were disinclined or unable to follow
up Lieutenant General Keller when
he retired to his former position at
Ikhavuan.
The seriousness of the days fight
ing is shown in General Keller's esti-
mate that the Russian casualties were
over thousand.
The battle leaves the general situa-
tion unchanged, but shows that pow.
erful Japanese army is massed and is
constantly threatening Lao Yang, ap-
parently only awaiting General Kuro-
h's signal to advance.
The attack was made at 10 p. M,
IN fog.
