RAN INTO AN OPEN SWITCH.
A Passenger Train on the Norfolk G.
Western Road Is Wrecked.

Norfolk, Va-A serious wreck
occurred on the Norfolk & West
ern railroad between Suffolk and
Norfolk, Wednesday, when the Can
non BALI train, bound from Richmond
to this city, ran through an open
switch at Juniper siding.
Seven persons were injured in the
wreck and but for the vigilance of
Mark Noble, engineer of the train,
who was watching for just such a
thing as an open switch, which caused
the wreck, probably many of the 80 or
60 passengers aboard would have been
killed.
The train was running at the rate of
rs or so miles an hour when Engineer
Noble spied the open switch 80 yards
away. Immediately he threw on his
emergency brakes, reducing his speed
to about 80 miles by the time the en-
gine struck the switch. The train
jumped the track, then jumped an ad-
joining ditch and ran headlong into
neighboring woods before it stopped.

A BUSINESS BULLETIN.
The Commercial Horizon Is Clouded
by Labor Controversies.

New York.-R. G. Dun & co.
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Opening of spring trade is not per
ceptibly retarded by the partial inter
ruption to coal mining, except in the
immediate vicinity of anthracite
mines. High temperature not only
broadens the demand for seasonable
merchandise, but stimulates agricul
tural operations. reopens northern
navigation and starts many contem-
plated building operations. Were it
not for a few labor controversies, the
commercial horizon would be cloud
less But some manufacturing plants
will be compelled to suspend if the
fuel supply is cut off, and structural
work is interrupted by demands for
higher wages in certain localities.
That the year 1906 started out to
eclipse all records is evidenced by
bank exchanges Is per cent larger
than in the first quarter of the previ-
Gus prosperous year while liabilities
of commercial failures averaged only
81 cents to each $1,000 of solvent pay
ments through the clearing houses,
which is the lowest commercial death
rate for the first three months of any
year
Failures this week numbered 1877
as against 232 last year, and IS in
Canada, as against 2S last year.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Sherburn M

candidate for mayor of Milwaukee,
was on Tuesday elected over David S.

eight years been the city's executive

Kansas City, April 1.-THE repub-
lican ticket headed by Henry Boards

Mr. Beardsley's majority over Robert

at 1,2O0. The issue of the campaign
was restriction of public service fran
chises, both platforms endorsing the
principle of municipal ownership.
Four of the six wards in Kansas

days election against Mayor w. w.
Roses policy of licensing liquor
joints, the mayor sent his resignation
to the city council fast night The

Of the Balloon Voyage
of Paul NOCquet.
FOUND IN ACREEk.
he Started from New York City and
His Balloon Landed on South
Shore of Long Island.

New York.-Death in the waters
of Bass creek, a small stream
winding through the meadows along
the south shore of Long Island, be-
tween Jones Beach and Amityville,
ended the daring balloon ascent Tues
day afternoon of Paul Nocquet, a
French sculptor of note and an en-
thusiastic amateur aeronaut. The
body was found last night on the
muddy shore of the creek, where the
tide had left it, and not a great dis
tance from where Nocquet's collapsed
balloon was discovered late Tuesday
night by the life savers of Jones
Beach.
The discovery of the body put an
end to a search which had included
ocean, land and marshes and which
had been begun under the direction
of Nocquet's associates of the Aero
club of New York as soon as word
was received that the balloon had
been found, with no trace of its miss
ing occupant.
Nocquet apparently landed safely
with his car and in fighting his way
out of the meadows In the darkness
had traversed about two-fifths of the
distance from Jones Beach to Amity-
vile, several miles, when he died. He
had crossed Is or IA different islands
and had swum or waded through the
runlets between them.
That Nocquet Travelled as far as he
did is considered wonderful He must
have staggered the last mile of the
two he travelled under fearful diff
culties. He essayed a trip that few
men could possibly complete in day
light.
When Nocquet started on his flight
Tuesday afternoon the wind was
blowing out to sea. This meant that
unless he should come down after be-
ing up but short time-having start
ed from the Bronx-he would surely
be blown across Long Island and out
strapped inside the basket and the
word to let go was given.
The balloon in it's fight passed over
Jamaica, Garden City, Westbury, Jeri-
cho and Cold Spring Harbor, then
darkness came and shut it from view.
What it's course was after passing
over Huntington at about SIS p. m.
there is no means of knowing. Moth
ing further was heard of it until it's
discovery on Jones Beach was an
nounced.
Paul Nocquet had made many sue
cessful attempts at aerial navigation.
1t is not as an aeronaut alone that
Nocquet has attained distinction, how
ever. He is almost equally we'll known
as an author sculptor and artist. Wide
recently was attracted to his
work as a sculptor by bronze figure
of President Roosevelt, entitled "a
Presidential Vacation" This figure
represents the president dragging a
bear by the ear, while in his right
hand he holds aloft a cub.

FIELDS ATTACKS TRUSTEES.
Ex-LesisIative Agent of Mutual Life
Insurance Co. Issues Statement.

New York.-Charges similar to
those recently made against the
directors of the New York Life Insur-
ance Co. by Andrew Hamilton were
made Friday against the trustees of
the Mutual Life Insurance Co. by An
drew G. Fields. The former legisla-
tive agent of the Mutual is now in Sc
clusion in his home at Dobbs Ferry.
He is said to be seriously i'll and has
denied himself to all callers.
The charges against the Mutual
trustees were made in a formal state
ment which Fields issued through his
physician and in which he declared
that the Mutual trustees well knew
the nature of his duties while he was
employed by the company as legisla-
tive agent and also had charge of its
supply department. He says that he
had come home prepared to tell the
truth, no matter whom it hurts, be his
position high or low" He denies that
he ever gave a bribe to anyone, de-
clares the story of the so-called House
of Mirth at Albany to be a malicious
libel, and claims that while acting for
the Mutual he saved the company
many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
He says that the records of the
Mutual's supply department which
had been reported as missing are
within reach and that they will be
forthcoming whenever the trustees
want them. He promises to make
full and complete explanation of the
manner in which the $780, 900 or more
which was paid to him by the expen-
diture committee was disbursed and
to show that every payment was fully
authorized

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
ALL possessed OF a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinl<ham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
beautifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
nial year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to

Made No Progress.

New York. = The sub commit
tees representing the anthracite
operators and the mine workers of
eastern Pennsylvania held their first
joint meeting here Tuesday and after
nearly three hours session adjourn
ed until Thursday without coming to
an agreement. Each side to the CON
troversy had refused to make the
slightest concession, and the whole
question apparently is as far from So
luton as il was before the conference
began. In the meantime, the tieup of
the anthracite industry remains
complete, without indications that
resumption of mining will occur very
soon.

Vote in Favor of MuniC-
ipaI Ownership of
STREET RAILWAYS.
Advocates of a Higher Rate of Ii
Cense for the Saloons We're
Also Successful.

Chicago, Ill.-Under the result
of the city election held Tuesday, in
which the question of municipal own
ership of the street railways was the
vital issue, the city of Chicago can
proceed to acquire and control the
railways, but cannot operate them
At the same time the voters, while
declaring that the city shall not pro-
ceed to operate the railroads, de
clared that as a question of public
policy 1t would be desirable for the
city to do so.
Three propositions were submitted
to the voters, the first of which was:
Shall the city of Chicago proceed
to operate street railways"
This proposition required 60 per
cent. of the total vote cast in order to
become effective. The total vote was
231,171. OF this number the PROPOSE
ton to proceed to the immediate OPP
Grafton of the street railways secured
120,911 votes, or 1872 short of the
necessary three -flfths.
The second proposition involved the
approval of an ordinance previously
passed by the city council providing
for the issue of street railway Ger
tificates in amount not to exceed
$75,000,000 for the purchase, owner
ship and maintenance of the street
railways. This was carried by about
3,400 votes.
The third question, which was sim
ply on the question of public policy
and has no legal effect whatever, is
Shall the city council proceed with
out delay to secure the municipal
ownership and operation of the street
railways under the Mueller law, in
stead of granting franchises to priv
ate companies?"
This proposition was carried by
about $500 votes.
Besides the question of municipal
ownership the issue was made in
many of the aldermanic contests of
whether the saloon licenses of the
city shall be $500 or 81 900 The low
figure was in existence up to March 5,
when the city council passed an or
dinance raising the amount to 81 900.
The liquor interests made strong
fight against every alderman who was
up for reelection who had voted for
the license of $1,000. OF the Is men
against whom they put their influence
II were elected and three defeated.
OF the nine aldermen up for re-elec-
ton who voted for the continuance of
the $500 license, all were returned to
their seats in the council. There is
little danger, however that the high
license will be repealed.

CITY SUES FOR $4,000, 900.
Philadelphia Contractors are Asked to
Dissorse = Huge Sum.

Philadelphia. Civil proceedings
were instituted Friday by the city
against the contractors and form
er city officials interested in the
construction of the municipal filtra-
tion plant, to recover $5,000,000, which
sum is alleged to have been wrong
fully retained by the defendants. A
bill In equity was filed in the common
pleas court by City Solicitor Kinsey
and ex-Judge James G. Gordon, Mayor
Weavers private counsel.
Those named in the bill are Israel
w. Durham, former republican leader
of this city; State Senator James P.
McNichol, Anastasia McNichol, his
wife; Daniel j. McNichol, John Nj.
Mack, all of whom were at one time
members of the contracting firm of
Daniel J. McNichol & Co.; William c..
Haddock and Peter e. Costello, form
er directors of public works, and
John w. Hill, former chief of the fill
tration bureau. The prayer is sworn
to by Mayor Weaver.
The bill is in the form of a paper
book of more than 1000 pages con-
tanning the entire history of the filtra-
tion plant contracts and setting forth
in detail the mass of evidence that
has been gathered showing the alleg-
ed wrongful acts of the defendants by
which the city was defrauded.
This bill is expected to give the
public the facts upon which the
mayor and his counsel rely to prove
the charges that have been made
from time to time against D. J. Nc
Nichol Co. 1t is the first of the
civil suits to be begun by the city
since the beginning of the investiga-
tion into the construction of the Al
ters, and many of the statements con-
tanned in it are along the line of the
report made by the filtration commits
sion and signed by Maj. Cassius e.
Gillette, chairman of the commission,
just prior to the election last Novem
ber
