WILL GIVE WIFE $1O,OOO.
E. U. Lathrop Says All Other Claims
 Must Re Droppd.

The prospect for further litigation between Edwin U. Lathrop and his wife for her support for the past three years and in the future also, was fairly good this afternoon. This morning Attorney O'Neill, counsel for Mrs Lathrop, and Colonel Bur- pee, counsel for MT Lathrop, had a consultation, but it resulted in noth- ing, and If number of suits are not instituted against MT Lathrop with in few days by those who have as- sisted his wife during the past three years, it will be because of inability to come to an agreement.
 MT Lathrop this forenoon offered to settle up the whole affair by agreeing to pay his wife $10,000. This was to include all claims. doc tors bills. clothing, medicine, board and other minor matters. Not an- other cent more than that sum would he give. Mir O'Neill visited Colonel Burpee in his office and talked the matter over. This offer was not de- clined, neither was it accepted.
 MT 0'NeilPs proposition was that Mir Lathrop should within five days, or eight at the utmost, pay over $12,- poo. This claim was based on what the law would allow Mrs Lathrop in case she was granted a divorce, that is, one-third of his property. This property, situated on Bank street, has several times during this litiga- ton been appraised at $75,000 and Mir Lathrop's equity in it to be about $35,000. If Mrs Lathrop were granted a divorce, which, by the way, she has never looked for, she would be entitled to one-third of s35,000, and also what ever 1t cost to main tain herself during the past three years as she was accustomed to live before her husband parted from her. Mir Lathrop would also be liable for his wife's doctors bills, medicine, clothing, etc, during that period, so that taking everything into consider ation 1t was said that Mir O'Neill's proposition to settle for s12,000 was very fair. Mir Lathrop said that if his wife would not accept s10,000 in settlement of every claim, he would pay her s60 a month. that is. $40 for board and s20 for clothing and other expenses. This offer Mrs Lathrop's counsel refused to listen to.
 Mrs Lathrop has been under a doc tors care the past year or so and does not expect to be able to move about with her accustomed freedom for some six or eight months yet.
 Unless a settlement is made with in a few days half dozen suits will be instituted against Mir Lathrop by physicians who have attended his wife and 1t is said that all of her friends who have helped her since her estrangement with her husband are also ready to sue him.

A suicide ok the Palisades.

EDGEwATER. N. J., March 12.- Standing within half a foot of the edge of the Palisades, with a hundred foot abyss yawning behind him, Irving l.. Bragdon, once a we'll known New York broker and a figure in politics, fired a bullet into his brain and top pied back, with the evident premedi- tation of falling on the jagged rocks that skirt the shore of the Hudson below. The bullet killed him, but the second part of the plan failed, as a ledge fifteen feet below the edge of the cliff caught the body, and it lay, with head hanging or~r the side, where it was found.

Baltimore and Ohio Express in Col.
 Iision at Godsend.
 BLOOMDALE, O., March 12. A score or more of passengers were kill. ed or injured when the westbound Baltimore and Ohio fiier crashed into a freight wreck at the station known as Godsend, one mile east of here, and soon after the trains were in flames, people were crying in agony and several dying before assistance could be given them.
 John Hootman, Chicago Junction, fireman of passenger train; W. Hoy, Wheeling, W. Va, postal clerk, and J. H. Siegel, Chicago Junction, engineer of passenger train, are dead.
 The seriously injured are Benjamin C. Shook, Chicago Junction, mall clerk, head cut, scalded and internally in ured; B. H. Osborn, Chicago Junction, baggageman, head and hands burned; {; Otto Lee. Fostoria, circus performer, head and hands scalded, and Mrs. George Stair, Detroit, three ribs broken.
 Two engines were completely wreck ed, and the mail and express cars, two baggage cars, two passenger coaches and four freight cars were completely demolished and later burned up.
 Three bodies have been taken from the debris. Twelve injured persons have been carried to this station and are under physicians care. The work of aiding the wounded is rapidly pro- gressing, and it is feared that many more dead will be taken from the ruins.
 A freight train had stopped for wa ter at the scene of the wreck, when another freight bore down on 1t, slam ming 1t on to the westbound tracks. A second later the fast Baltimore and Ohio passenger came sweeping along with terrific speed. carrying heavy train of passengers.
 Three of the cars telescoped. and the awful scenes of agony which followed can scarcely be described. Many of the trainmen were pinned beneath the beams, and those near the engine suf- fered from escaping steam. To add 10 this horror the flames crept swiftly over the debris. The first person to be taken from the burning mass was a woman, un- conscious and as yet unidentified. It is believed that she is injured internal ly and will die.
