STEAMER PURITAN
BREAKS HER SHAFT
Continued from Page one.

N1oItluueu from rage One.)
The breakage OF the shaft was due to
the shock caused by the steamer striking
a heavy obstruction In the Sound about
midnight last night Most OF the passen-
gers had retired and very few OF them
were aware of the accident until daylight
when the whistling OF tug alongside
awoke them The position OF the steamer
at the time OF the accident is not given
out by the officers. The steamer came
to anchor and word was sent ashore for
assistance
The Scott company sent the tug Nathan
Hale 10 find the steamer. which was
difficult matter. owing TO the fog Ii was
nearly daylight before the Hale reached
the steamer and the first thing done was
TO take her In tow anl place the Puritan
off Sarahs Ledge. The tugs Quidneck
and Miles Standish We're sent down the
harbor TO assist tho Hale I'm taking of
passengers. This task was begun shortly
after o'clock and was practically COM
pleted at 80. when nearly all the pas
sengers were landed at Union station.
A special train had been made up and
shortly after the noon hour II started
east with the Puritans passengers who
were bound for Boston.
Passengers who were interviewed on
their arrival here said that they were not
aware of the accident at the time or
the transfer from the steamer to the
tugs was easily and quietly made. The
fog over the harbor was very dense and
for this reason the work OF getting the
passengers to the city was slow. The
three tugs are now at the steamer and
as the fog has lifted they will attempt TO
tow the Puritan TO a berth here. where
an examination Of her machinery can be
made.
A PASSENGERS STATEMENT.
o. w. Winkler of Philadelphia. who
was a passenger on the Puritan, arrived
in this city shortly after noon today on
a business trip.
lie said the steamer left New York
Sunday afternoon at $50 and that the
evening was clear with beautiful moon
light and that there was no thought In
the mind OF any that an accident could
happen on such night.
The first he knew was when he was
awakened by a noise which had a roaring
sound followed by crash. about 12:l5
O'Clock and he dressed and left his state
room and then learned that the shaft had
broken. He says all the passengers were
awakened and went to the saloons or on
deck, but that there was no panic, as
they were at once informed by the ship $
officers OF the nature OF the accident, and
that there was no danger
Soon after a fog set in, but the night
remained calm and there was no excite
ment whatever on the steamer. although
most of the passengers did not return TO
ther berths TO sleep
The passengers, he says, were all taken
off the steamer by tugs during the early
forenoon, arriving i'm New London about
1890 O'Clock lie says the officers Of the
ship gave the passengers every courtesy,
and that they were provided with break
fast on The ship at no cost to them
Mr.. Winkler sent a wireless dispatch
from the steamer to George G. Arnold In
this city this morning. with whom he had
an engagement, stating that he had been
delayed

Railroads and Campaign Funds.
Wall street men say that r. Il. Har-

was largely due to the passage Of the

him and his associates. If the amend

would not have succeeded as well The
Allison amendment suited the scheme
of the pirates to a dot and there was
a rumor some time age that Mr.. Hagri-
man had much to do with the presls

Bailey and his aopsto the slllson- Tar
