MCCLELLAN IS THREATENED

NEW YORK, April 29-In the memo
randum accompanying his veto of the
three bills stripping the aldermen of
power yesterday. Mayor Mcclellan
bluntly charges the Pennsylvania rail-
road with Attempting to set UP a poiiti-
cal oligarchy in New York city similar
to that which thev have in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania
To the Pennsylvania railroads efforts
bills.
After referring to the failure of the
Pennsylvania Company to get the fran
chise for the New York connecting
railroad the mayor continues:
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
put a few years ago acquired foot
hold in this city, but It seems determined
to exercise it's power over public off
cials here as IL has elsewhere 1t has
already made plain to me its ability to
crush all opposition to its plans
Its representatives have come to me
IN the mayors office to advise me that
II 1 did not accept these measures they
would nevertheless be passed over My
veto. l was urged should | decide to
reject the bills, to do so promptly. SO as
rot to needlessiy prolong the session
or the Legislature, which would not be
permitted TO adjourn until the bills We're
repassed.
This corporation, which has so long
dominated the States of Pennsylvania
anu 4s1h O'-iSGSs SIOulu De tauStlt THAI
it cannot grasp the government of New
York, or take away or transfer power
from public bodies who, whether for
good or bad motives, fail to do its bid
ding. Resistance to these measures on
this ground is a public duty of the
greatest Importance.
Il have no desire to :Ghame any
prejudice against corporations as such.
They have their rightful purposes. But
/ believe that unless such manifesto
ttons of insolence are rebuked the evils
they may engender will inperil the
peace and security of our Government.
For these reasons l refuse 10 accept
these bills In behalf of the city.
When Mayor Mcclellan was asked last
night to give the names of the repre-
sentatives of the Pennsylvania railroad
who had boasted TO him that his veto
OF the aldermanic bill would be useless,
aud that the Legislature would not be
permitted to adjourn until the bills
were passed over his veto. he declined to
talk on the ground that he was socially
engaged.
He was busy at the time entertain
ing guests al dinner.

ratified all over town and in some
places pictures fell from the walls, The
big office buildings downtown Quivered

At Memphis, Tenn, hundreds Of
persons fed from their homes into the
streets at lilo o'clock, when two dis
tinct shocks started nearly every
house in the city to trembling and
quivering, threw pictures from the
walls and started dishes and windows
to rattling in a most alarming manner.
The shocks lasted almost a minute.
kilograms from Clarksville, Erin
and Brownsville, Tenn, state that the
shock was severe there. In Clarksville
the shock was sufficient to awaken
everybody in town. Many of the peo-
pie rushed in terror out of their houses.
Dogs howled and fled into the open.
Chickens flew growing from their
roosts. Several old brick buildings
collapsed, but as these were unin-
habited no lives were lost.

Evidence Too Slight.

Painesville, O., Aug. 26.-Coroner
York, of Lake county, rendered his
verdict Friday afternoon in connection
with the wreck of the Twentieth Cen
tury Limited on the Lake Shore road
at Mentor, near here, on the night Of
June 81, which resulted in the death Of
a number of passengers. The coroner
said the testimony was insufficient to
hold anyone guilty Of criminal negli-
gence. He added, however, that the
testimony tended to show that the
switch which caused the wreck was
opened by an employe Of the company.
He mentioned no name in this con-
ccction. II ( .-J ..1
