STILL HAVING TROUBLE.
FerrybOats Not Running As They
ShOuId-TrOuhIe With Crew.

Troubles of all kinds are still re-
sulting on the new ferryboats oper-
ated by the city between st. George
and Manhattan and, from the present
outlook, it will be some time before
tho boats are able to make record
time.
Because of the heavy work that is
required of them the firemen on the
new boats are already sick of the
job and Saturday a number of them
quit. Each boat has eight firemen
on watch for eight hours. They are
kept on the hustle all the time and
cannot come on deck during the trip
either way. 1t is understood that
the pay has been raised from $40 to
$50 a month to try and keep them.
A report reached Tottenville yes
terday that one OF the captains had
been laid off. The eason given was
that he was not doing the work.
Acting Captain Cobb, who is well
known TO. many people on Staten Is
land. has been given the position of
chief oiler on one of the boats. He
feels hurt over this as he has held a
captains license for over nine years.
Contrary to expectation, the fare
on the now municipal ferry will re-
main the same, although it had been
understood a Communication rate
would be granted. A public hearing
on the question of reduced rates was
announced for last Tuesday morning
by the commissioners of the sinking
fund and a large delegation of Staten
Islanders went to Manhattan to at
tend the hearing, which was set down
for IL a. m. When the delegation
reached the city hall they were in
formed that the meeting had taken
place, and the present rates adopted.

Engineer Killed, Fireman Hurt and Brake
man Seriously Injured Officers
Assisted by Detectives and
Every Effort Being Made to Discover the
Guilty Party-SOuthern Pacific Offers
Reward of $500.

Sunday morning at $50 a
dasta rdly attempt to wreck
passenger train No. 8 known as
the San Antonio express at
Landry's switch miscarried,
and instead an extra freight
running on the passengers time
was ditched, and Engineer Will
liam Whelan was killed and
Brakeman James Coine and
Fireman w. Fl. Br0wnfield were
seriously injured. All we're
from New Orleans.
At first the accident was sup
posed to have been caused by a
spreading Of the rails, but in
vestigation disclosed the fact
that some miscreant had broken
the lock and thrown the switch,
and in order to make sure of his
deadly work had removed the
light and bent the staff so that
it could not be replaced.
Had the passenger been on
time the loss of life would have
been fearful. Itwould have run
into the switch at a rate of more
than forty miles an hour, which
would have resulted IN a COM
plete demolishment of the train,
with possibly the horrors of fire
added to it. But a merciful
providence seems to have been
guarding the train. First one
little thing and then another
caused loss of time.
The passenger was due at
Lake Charles at 1900 a. m.. but
arrived a few moments late.
Then a washOut caused loss of
time; a hot box made it still later,
and at every station passengers
were picked up adding q little
more delay, so that when the
train reached Lafayette it was
fifty minutes late.
A half hour before the passen-
ger arrived it was decided to
run extra freight go, which was
very late, On ahead of the pas
senger. The freight was an
unusually heavy one, being made
mp mostly of loaded tank cars
and cars of sulphur for export.
Landry switch is about twenty
minutes run from Lafayette, and
when the freight reached it. it
was going at a speed Of fully 25
miles an hour. When the engine
struck the switch, according to
statements made by trainmen to
Supt. Shackford. the train
leaped from the track and turned
over twice. The momentum of
the heavy train drove it into the

pose of wrecking the through
passenger train. We have not
the least clew to who the mis-
creants were. Our special
agents, together with the Sheriff
and a number of citizens, have
been securing the country sur
rounding the scene of the acci-
dent, but have found no trace.
We have had no trouble with
anyone in this part of the cOun-
try, and | am at a loss to under
stand why anyone should make
the attempt to wreck the fast
train which would have resulted
in the death of so many innocent
people. 1t may have been done
by someone who had some fan
cied grudge against the railroad,
or else it might have been some
crank who had read of train
wrecking. Our own men are
furious over the attempt, which
cost the lives of some of their
number, and I believe that they
would be willing to go out and
shoot the man or men who did it.
When I arrived at Landry l
found that the switch had been
broken and opened, and switch
light removed. Later I found
that the light had been placed in
the center of the main track,
but that it had been extinguished
when removed.
We got the main track cleared
of debris this afternoon, and it
is now passable to all trains. It
will be several days before the
siding can be used, as the track
has been plowed up for several
car lengths. s
We will continue the search
for the scOundrels who COM
mitted this horrible act, which
was evidently intended to wreck
the fast train, and at the same
time we will use every precau-
ton to prevent a repetition of
the natter"

ground and piled five cars of
sulphur in heap beside the
switch. The rest remained on
the track, but a number of tank
cars collapsed and almost every
one sprang leak, and the oil
poured out into the ditch.
The crash of the wreck awak-
ened people living near, who
rushed to the scene. and whose
timely arrival and prompt work
prevented fire from completing
the destruction. Some of the oil
had taken fire, but effective work
soon extinguished the blaze.
Engineer Whelan was caught
beneath his engine and killed
instantly, his head being fear
fully crushed. His body could
not be taken out until the wreck
age was cleared. Fireman
Browntield was thrown out of
the car and to one side of the
track and was seriously injured.
Brakeman Coine, who was riding
on the engine, was also thrown
to one side but was caught by
some of the wreckage. He was
badly hurt about the left ankle,
one leg broken and his head
bruised. The injured were sent
to New Orleans for treatment as
soon as possible and Engineer
Whelan's body as soon as re-
moved from the wreck.
No reason is known for this
dastardly attempt to wreck the
passenger. The people of the
town and parish of Lafayette
have always been most friendly
towards the Southern Pacific
and especially so at this time
when they are contemplating
giving US connection with Baton
Rouge. No one here can imagine
any motive for it. Who the mis-
creants were Or what their pur-
pose was is a mystery. The
local officers are making every
effort to get trace of the crimin-
ais and the people are rendering
every assistance possible. A
number of special detectives are
also working on the case.
The investigation carried on by
Superintendent Shackford lasted
until late Sunday night. and was
most thorough. After return
ing here Mr.. Shackford made
the following statement.
''The wreck was caused by the
malicious tampering with the
