Names of the Injured.
DELAY SAVES NUMEROUS LIVES
Night Ride Deters Many from Board
ing the Inflated Train.

The late hour of the New York's ar
rival at Plymouth saved many lives.
She carried more than sixty travellers
for London. but many of them elected
to travel on comfortably to Southamp-
ton in preference 10 the late landing
at Plymouth and the long night ride
across the country. If the New York
had made faster passage the somber
roster Of the dead and injured would
have been longer. The big American
line steamer reached Plymouth at $3.50
O'clock Saturday night. and half an
hour later there was a tender along
side to receive passengers for England.
Several who had planned to debark
and packed their baggage decided at
the last moment to remain aboard. 1t
was fateful decision, though not die
tated by any fear.
The run across the Atlantic had been
/ pleasant. There were CHEEKY partings
when the passengers for London trans
/ ferred to the waiting tender, which
steamed for the Davenport landing,
where the express was lying made up.
/ The train consisted of a powerful ex-
press engine three first-class corridor
/ carriages and one combination guards
van and buffet. The passengers were
soon entrained and at 11:30 the express
pulled out. 1t was given clear track
on the run of $50 miles to London, on
which the express generally maintains
an average speed of a mile minute
Driver Robins quickly gave the en-
1 CINE her head and the special was soon
speeding swiftly through the night 1t
ran on safely and without incident un-
til it entered the long railway yard at
/ Salisbury, when the passengers noted
that the coaches began swaying from
side to side. Suddenly at the end of
the long platform, when the track be-
gins to curve towards the bridge span
ming Fisherton street, the main avenue
of the city, the engine, seemed fairly
to leap from the track.
1t swung across the adjoining track
with terrific force and destroyed the
guards van of milk train that was
slowly steaming in the opposite direc-
ton. killing a guard Lurching for
ward the locomotive plunged against
the standards and Orders of the bridge.
The bridge withstood the impact. and
rebounding the engine crashed into an
other engine which was standing on a
siding and overturned. The wreckage
Of the two engines interlocked in a
great broken mass of twisted steel and
iron. Throughout the wild plunging
of the engine Driver Robins, whether
alive or dead. remained in his cab.
Hours afterward his charred body was
found grilled over the firebox.
The first coach shot over the engine
ana careened onward until it was
hurled against the parapet of the
bridge and smashed into fragments

CAUSE OF THE WRECK UNKNOWN
Mayor McClellan's Lucky Determina-
tion-Bride n Widow

London, July 2.-The cause of the
wreck Of the American special at Sal
isbury can only be guessed at. Half
dozen things may have done it, but no
one knows what one. The investiga-
ton Will be rigid and viii probably
tell what was wrong.
One Of the saddest incidents OF the
tragedy was the death of Frederick II.
Cossitt, of New York. Two weeks ago
he married Miss Dugro. daughter Of
Judge Dugr0. of New York and they
We're on their wedding trip. They had
planned to spend the entire summer in
travel in Europe. The wedding of Cos
slit and Miss Dugro was a social event
of considerable prominence. The death
of Cossitt has 4 peculiar significance
in that he was the second person pres
entat hts wedding to lose his life. Stan
ford White, who was shot dead by
Harry X. Thaw in the Madison Square
roof garden theater last Monday night,
was one of the guests at the wedding.
BY the merrest chance Mayor George
b. Mcclellan, of New York, was not on
the wrecked train. He had an appoint
ment to keep in London yesterday, his
baggage was aboard the tender at
Plymouth to 60 ashore, he intending TO
take the special But he was informed
that he could stay aboard and still keep
his appointment. and his baggage was
thrown back to the liner. John f. Nc
Donald, the New York horseman, who
is among the dead, was given the COM
partment on the special train which
had been reserved for Mcclellan, and
50 the mayors escape was indeed the
narrowest.
On the arrival at southampton of the
New York her remaining passengers on
deck leaning over the rail and chat
ting gaily, looking for friends ashore
to meet them the company's officials
stepped aboard with letters and tele-
grams. Suddenly a lady passenger oil

with hysterical sobs on the deck, hold
| ing a telegram in her hands. Instantly
her fellow passengers locked around tc

Telegraph News by Direct
Wire from All Over
Indiana

Indianapolis, July 1.-Two thousand
angry mobocrats at the game between
Louisville andl indianapolis on the 10
cal American Association grounds
made an effort to mob Umpire Owens.
As a result of the succeeding riot two
men were arrested. Other warrants
viii be served if certain parties can be
found. The decisions of Umpire Ow-
ems displeased the crowd, and at the
conclusion of the second game the In
dianapolis partisans started after him.
An officer managed TO get Owens out
through a side gate of the park, and
placed him in a patrol wagon. The
crowd refused to let the wagon pass,
however, and a hurry call was sent in
for more officers. Soon twenty-five po-
licemen wer on the grounds. and they
charged the crowd repeatedly, using
their clubs freely, before the umpire
could be rescued. Stones and other
missiles were thrown at each step of
the encounter and both Owens and
all the officers were struck many times.
None were badly hurt.
Who'd Be an Ice Man, Now?
Indianapolis. July 2. - grand jury
investigation into the workings of the
alleged ice trust in this city will be
begun July 8, according to an an
nouncement made by Deputy Prosecu-
tor Taylor E. Groninger. Fifty or more
persons having knowledge of the ice
situation will be called as witnesses.
Prosecutor Benedict will have charge
of the case, which he will conduct
along the same lines as the Toledo (O)
proceedings, which resulted in prison
sentences for ice dealers.
No End of Figures.
indianapolis, July 2.-''Knee deep in
figures is an old expression that APP
propriately applies to the work that is
done i'll the office of the state statis-
tician. at the state house. Just now
the office is wrestling with the annual
crop reports from township assessors.
There are 1016 townships in the nine
ty-twe counties of the state Each
township assessor sends in a report
upon which there are answers to thir-
ty-six questions regarding the acreage
of wheat, corn. oats, hay. potatoes, to-
matoes and otherproducts, timber land
pasture and land regarded as untilla-
BILE. Other questions have reference to
the number of horses. cattle. sheep,
hogs and poultry, the wool clip, the
amount of butter and cheese made last
year and the number Of dozens of eggs
sold. 1t is safe to estimate that there
is an average of four figures to each of
the thirty-six answers.
