were allowed to stand idle on the track
The third portion to which the engine was
alta ched, then moved down the track

back at speed of forty miles an hour, 1t
crashed into the second section of the ira in,
and the latter bumped into the first. In
stead of cars piled up on the track in a
twisted mass, there was just culver and
then the three sections, which had been
automatically reunited, settled down ss

Mayor Mcclellan signed yesterday the

city at rs cents a thousand feet. In his
memorandum. the Mayor wrote that IL he
believed the contention to be true that the
bill oonfscated vested rights of the COM
paniee he would not hesitate to reject it,
because no matter how great the tempta-
ton the city Of New York could not afford
to countenance such an injustice or to
weaken the cause Of civilization by failing
to sustain the invioability Of private prop
erty.'
But after long and exhaustive investi
CATION, a legislative committee had decided
that rs cents thousand feet was fair price
and on this finding it was his plain duty to
assert the right OF the city az gainst the
contentious of the companies,
Regarding the contention by the COM
panies that it would he physically impos-
sible to comply with the clause relating
to pressure the Mayor wrote that that was
technical matter which might safely
be left to the adjudication Of the courts.
The Mayor will approve to-day the bill

The wireless telegraph brought news out
Of the fog last night by way of Babylon.
L. l., that the Cunarder aroma, with large
and distinguished passenger list, was
aground inside Sandy Hook. where she
still was at last accounts.
The big boat sailed for Liverpool at 1
P. M. yesterday and at the same time the
Kaiser Wilhelm III. sailed for Bremen. 1t
was from the Kaiser, of Babylon, that the
wireless message came in. and II was tele-
phoned to Vernon H. Brown. the general
agent Of the Cunard Line.
He went down to the Cunard pier about
midnight and set the Lucania's wireless
plant at work trying to pick up the Caronia.
but got no response. He surmised that
either the operator had turned in or that
the Caronia had got of and gone on. Sandy
Hook, however. said at midnight that big
stea mship not identifiable from shore was
visible and apparently aground on the
north side OF the ship channel near the
Swash. At the pier Mr. Brown said:
The Kaiser wilhelm H., while of Baby
lon report cd by wireless that the Caronia
had gone aground on the east ledge Of the
Southwest Spit. She was resting easily
and would work off at high tide, which
comes at 8l5 A. NJ. The Kaiser Wilhelm III
reported that probably the Caronia would
get free before that time, but would be
likely to anchor until daylight because of
the fog. The Kaser went out at about the
same time as the Caronia, but evidently
made the channel in safety. The Caronia's
pilot ia st i'll aboard her.
Mr.. Brown telephoned to Babylon, di-
recting that boat be sent to ths Caronia
at daylight with a message telling the
Carona to talk with the Lucania by wireless
The Caronia is in no danger, as the bottom
where she sticks is soft sand.
