r WRECK AT STATION.
The wreck occurred nearly in front OF
the Lansingburgh station, three miles
from Troy The passenger train was one
OF the best equipped, as well as one of
ethe fastest on the road. IL is a regular
express and leaves Boston daily at $50
a. m. for Albany. 1t consists OF a bag
gage car, smoker, day coach and two par
Tor cars. AS near as can be ascertained
the train was about one hour late when
1t pulled up I'm front of the Lansingburgh
station TO wait for a chance TO get into
Troy depot.
There Is a sharp curve a short distance
above the scene of the collision. The noise
of locomotive just around the curve
was the first intimation OF the approach
ing special which came laundering
along with IS cars on the steep grade. and
I'm the fraction of a second had crashed
into the rear end OF the passenger train,
smashing the last two cars like eggshells
Both these cars we're swept from the
track and rolled down the embankment
into the back yards OF tenement houses.
The engine OF the special kept on for
dozen yards and turned over The tender
was thrown into the car behind and tele-
scoped IT, There was sudden hush and
then through the gathering dust rose the
cries of the injured and dying.
The special was drawing four troops

RAN INTO OPEN SWITCH.
Southern Pacific Express Train |
Wrecked in California.

Woodland, Cal, Oct. 5.-The South
ern Pacific northbound Shasta express
was wrecked here at 2:15 this afternoon
by running into an open switch and
crashing into a string of loaded freight
cars standing on a sidetrack. Engineer
McGraw saw the open switch too late
to stop the train. He closed the throt-
tie and applied the brakes, then Jumped.
His left leg was fractured in three
places by the fall. his nose broken. and
he was badly bruised and cut. Fire
man Paul Dunn of Oakland also
jumped and escaped uninjured The
passengers were badly shaken up by
the shock, but none was injured. The
engine, with tender and mail car were
badly wrecked, and several of the other
cars were demolished The mail car
telescoped over the tender, and but for
the fact that it was turned around at
Davis, the mail clerks, Otto c. Kinds,
Howard G. Riese and II. G.. lambs,
probably would have been crushed to
death. AS it was, they were in the end
of the car farthest from the engine.
The trainmen declared that the freight
crew left the switch open.

GOES UP FOR PERJURY.
Queer Case of Frank r. Hughes, In
sane Man of Colorado.

Colorado Springs. oct. Frank r.
Hughes was sentenced today in the dis
trict court by Judge j. w Shea to from
three TO five years Imprisonment in the
penitentiary- Hughes was recently found
guilty Of perjury in swearing that he was
in the Midland wreck of Culber's Siding
June, 1903. in the trial which resulted
from his suit against that road to re-
cover $4,000 damages for injuries which
ne claimed he received in that wreck.
There are many queer circumstances
connected with Hughes case Shortly aft
or the wreck on the Midland, Hughes was
arrested in this city for larceny. and sent
TO the asylum as an insane person. He
was released. but again got into trouble
8ed was sent TO the penitentiary After
Terving his term he brought suit for $40
900 against the railroad. claiming he had
been rendered insane by a blow on the
head received in the wreck He claimed
that his thefts were due to his unbaI-
anced mind, and that he recovered his
reason while in the penitentiary At the
trial of the case 1t was proved that he

HELD FOR THE
BANK MURDER
San Francisco Police Believe
They Have the Right Men
Under Arrest.

San Francisco. Oct. 1.-Two men are
now under arrest for the gas pipe muir
der at the Kimmon Ginko, the Japan
csc bank on O'Farrell street. 1t is ev-
ident at police headquarters that the
detectives believe that they have in
custody the men whose, murders for
loot have three times startled the ciry.
First came the Pfitzner murder, then
that of Friede, and lastly the outrage
at the Japanese bark
Two Americans, depositors in the
bank. were arrested last night by De-
tectives Tom Gibson and Wren 1t
was announced at headquarters that
suspects were questioned and re-
leased. These two depositors tailed
with descriptions of the murderers. It
is now learned they have not been re-
leased, and will not be unless George
Herbert, the man who says he can
identify the murderers, says positively
they are not the men who went into
the bank at noon Wednesday. Even if
Herbert fails to recognize the men they
will not be free from suspicion. They
tally too closely with the requirements
of the men the entire police force is
bent upon experimenting.
1t was learned that one of the Sus-
poets had a room opposite Pftzners
place on McAllister street during the
week before the shoe merchants awful
death. There it was learned that this
man, when opening an account at the
Kimmon Ginko. gave a fictitious adj
dress and that in reality he lived across
the street from the bank. having Sc
cured room with a bay window, from
which the bankers could be closely
watched.
When confronted with this evidence
the men said they had trouble with the
landlady on McAllister street and on
that account left for the O'Farrell
street location, and for the same rea-
son gave a false address at the bank
so as to throw her off the trail.
There are other reasons for suspect
ing the men whose newly-opened ac-
counts at the Japanese bank at once
make an efficient clue.
The police agree that the Pfitzner,
Friede and bank murders are prob
ably the work of the same men, and
that the murderers are not experienced
criminals.

BOSS HEARST

Chatham, N Y, Oct 5.-William
Randolph Hearst. the Democratic aid
Independence League candidate for
day to published statement by p H
McCarren, Democratic organization
leader of Brooklyn, that if Mr.. Hearst
persists in having Independence League
candidates nominated in Kings county
there will be a plurality of Is, 900
against him in Brooklyn
The question of whether brooklyn
goes $4,000 one way or the other is for
the citizens of Brooklyn to decide, and
not for Mr.. McCarren to decide" said
Mr.. Hearst. Il have the utmost conSid-
Grafton for the wishes of the citizens of
Brooklyn, and none whatever for the
wishes of Mr.. McCarren. In placing an
Independent ticket in the field in
Brooklyn we are doing what we believe
to be for the best interests of the cit
liens of Brooklyn. Mr.. McCarren, by
calling himsef a Democrat, does not
make himself a Democrat. If he should
call himself an honest man it would
not make hirn an honest man. If he
should call his ticket good ticket Il
would not make it a good ticket As
a matter OF actual fact, the McCarren
not command the support of honest
Democrats or honest Independents
