DIED IN ARMS OF BR1DE-ELECT.
Capt. Nathan Appleton Expired Sud
denly in Boston.

With his affianced bride, Miss Edith Rus
sell Wills of Newburyport, Mass, tenderly
bending over him, and with his sister, Mrs.
L. Curtis of Mount Vernon street; his faith
full valet, Isaac Mullen, and DR.. Bender at
his bedside, Capt Nathan Appleton, author,
traveller, Panama canal promoter and man
of affairs who, on July 3, obtained a di-
vorce from his wife to permit him to wed
the beautiful woman whom he had loved
for years, died at noon yesterday in the
Hotel Nottingham at Boston.
In six months from the day he got his
divorce Captain Appleton had expected to
wed Miss Wills. A different fate was in
store for him, and the captain slowly and
without a struggle succumbed to the higher
laws: His end was peaceful. For two weeks
he had been i'll in his apartments in the ho-
tel. For two days he had been hardly able
to speak, and as the end approached Friday
1t was question among the devoted watch
them.
After the bride-elect and prospective
bridegroom were separated forever by
death Miss Wills was led to her apartments
in the hotel overcome.
On November 16, 1887, Captain Appleton
married in New York his second wife,
jeanette Maria Orington, daughter of Ed
ward ]. Orington of Brooklyn Their we'd
ding attracted worldwide attention and
was the bost brilliant social incident of the
season. DR.. Edward Everett Hale of Bos-
ton, now chaplain of the Senate, perform
ed the ceremony.
Scarcely a year after the marriage the
friends of the couple were thunderstruck to
learn that they had separated. A little later
there came another sensation, when Col.
Henry Clay Parsons of Natural Bridge,
Va, appealed to the police to rescue his
beautiful daughter from Mrs. Appleton,
saying that the woman had hypnotiZed the
girl and was keeping her against her
wishes. But in vain, for the girl refused to
leave her friends.
From the time he and his wife separated
Captain Appleton lived as lonely man, so
far as his home was concerned. Although
he had many friends, and his life was full
Of activities. he felt the need of companion
ship.
Ten years ago he met Miss Wills in New
buryport Their acquaintance ripened as he
saw her occasionally, but it was not until
the time Of the Russo-Japanese peace con-
ference, in Portsmouth, that there promised
to be anything more to their friendship.
Early in December Captain Appleton an
nounced his intention of suing the wife
from whom he had been separated for
eighteen years for divorce, and told his
friends of his hope, when free, to wed Miss
Wills. In March he began his suit. Mrs APP
pleton had engaged counsel and had de-
clared her intention of contrasting the case
but in the end she did not do so. The de-
cree nisi was granted on July g. On July Il
Captain Appleton made the formal an
nouncement Of his engagement to Miss
Wills,

Two Killed by Bursting Boiler.

The boiler of freight locomotive No. 2433
of the New York Central and Hudson River
railroad exploded near Little Falls, N. Y,
yesterday, causing the death of Engineer
Wagner Of Albany and Fireman Hall
of Oneida. The locomotive was drawing a
heavy east-bound freight when the explo-
sion occurred The boiler was thrown from
the trucks high in the air and landed on
its end 100 feet away. blocking all four
tracks of the road A freak of the explo-
sion was that neither the driving wheels
nor the tender of the engine were thrown
from the tracks, but ran on with the train
for a quarter of a mile. Engineer Wagner
was thrown from his cab by the explosion
and struck on the rails of the passenger
track. Death was almost instantaneous, as
his skull was frightfully crushed. Fireman
Hall was thrown out of the cab on the
other side of the engine, and his back was
broken. He was removed to the Herkimer
Hospital where death resulted shortly
after The force OF the explosion was ter

BETTER FACILITIES
CONCESSION JUST MADE TO
WASHINGTON SHIPPERS.

The members Of the Jobbers and Shippers
Association are looking forward with In
terest to Thursday afternoon. when the
board of directors of that organization will
hold an important meeting at o'clock In
the offices of the American Security and
Trust Company. At this session the COM
mittee on publicity will make a number of
recommendations, it is said, in furtherance
of the Greater Washington movement and
the freight committee will make its report
as to rates and through quick-freight serv-
ice over the several railroads entering this
city.
1t is said the freight committee has al
ready secured an important concession from
the Pennsylvania railroad, which hereafter
will bill freight shipped from Washington
straight through to- the point of destination.
In this connection commercial publica-
ton says:
Through billed freight means freight that
Will reach its destination without the deiay
that would be necessary were the shipments
transferred at some point on the line Here
tofore shipments out of Washington had to
be transferred at Alexandria II they were
intended for southern points. Now the rail-
road will place goods going out or Wash-
ington in cars in what is known as station
ORDER" which means that the shipments
for the first station along the line VIII pc
last placed in the car so they may be
quickly unloaded and delay avoided.
What It Means.
'Tt means that the car containing goods
for a merchant in a town 100 miles down
the road will not have to be sidetracked
in town twenty-five miles from Washing
ton until that citys goods are unloaded,
perhaps to wait until the next day for an
other train to pick it up. 1t is a great vic
tory and speaks well of the merits OF the
men who brought it about. Keep up the
good work and Washington will soon nave
what she wants in such matters. Probably
the railroads have been misjudged. Prob
ably they see money in helping Washington.
If they do the business men of the city may
rest assured that they will do everything
in their power to help the city. With such
railroads the Pennsylvania, the Baitl-
more and Ohio and the Southern working
for the capital city there can be no ques-
ton of the outcome. Their power to do good
is just as great as their strength when 1t
is put to work in the opposite direction.
You tickle the railroads and they'll tickle
you"

HEARST CONVENTION PLANS.
Alleged Scheme Revealed to Force
Nomination.

1t became known at Mt. Vernon, n. Y,
yesterday that w. R. Hearst is planning
to seize the democratic state convention by
force and to compel it to indorse his nomi-
nation for governor by his own indepen-
dent organization.
Mr.. Hearst and his political managers
were enraged by the population of his
candidacy last week in the democratic con-
ventions held in the three assembly dis
tricts in Westchester county. 1t had been
widely advertised that all three of the con-
ventions would elect delegates instructed
to vote for Hearst in the state convention.
Every effort was made to force instruc-
tons upon the delegates, but the democrats
of WestcheSter do not favor Mr.. Hearst,
and they have no sympathy with the meth
DDS he has been employing here to obtain
the democratic Endorsement. The Hearst
resolutions were rejected.
1t was announced at Mt. Vernon yester-
day that contests against the Westchester
delegates would be carried to the state
convention, and that this was in line with
a policy which has been decided upon by
the Hearst managers, to be carried into
effect all over the state wherever unin-
structed delegates are elected. The decision
to make a contest created surprise be-
cause the Hearst men last week insisted
that the Westchester delegates would be
for Hearst in the convention even though
the instructions had failed. The decision
is regarded as confession that WeStches-
ter is against Hearst.
Following the threat Of the Hearst men
to defeat democratic candidates wherever
the democratic voters refused to accept
Hearst, the announcement that he intends
to disregard the will of the democratic
electors, as expressed in their conventions
and to use force In getting the indorse-
ment that he covets, caused a sensation in
Westchester county. The democrats there
look upon his proposal to throw the regu-
larly elected delegates out of their own
convention and to substitute men of his
own in their places as a high-handed pro-
ceeding which falls little short Of being
revolutionary.
1t is announced that the Hearst contest
against the Westchester delegates will be
based upon the allegation that insufficient
notice was given of the district conven-
tions which were held last week in Mount
Vernon, Mount Kisco and Peekskill, and
that the calls for the conventions were
published in Obscure" newspapers. The
fact that the conventions were to be held
at the places and times for which they
were called was known throughout West
chester county and even in New York city.
