TEAM "A AWAY
Wagon Pin Broke and Then a Rein
Gave Way.


Gave Way.
What might have been a more SER
ious accident was averted by the good
Judgment of the driver, Charles Pear
soil, of the Hadkins Bottling Com
pany. While he was driving a new
team of spirited horses attached to
one of the large delivery wagons of
the company about 4 O'Clock Tues
day afternoon, he was going down a
steep hill, on Amboy avenue, Great
Kills, when the pin that holds the
cross bar of the whiffletree broke,
and struck the horses on the legs,
causing them to run away. In try
ing to stop them n of the reins
broke and the animals dashed on
down the avenue into Gifford's Lane,
narrowly missing running over Mar
tin Kelvey, of Eltingvllle, an em-
ploye in the highway department
The team was finally brought to a
stop near Kelsey's wagon shed in Gil
fords avenue, before any further dam
age was done. :

Mr.. M'CABE BUSTED
BY THE COMMITTEE
The Policy Holders Unanimous In
Retiring the Bishop.
ADDRESS SENT HIM IN TIME.
His Protest, the InternatiOnals Declare,
Shows Lack of Sympathy With the
Movement and Amounts to Surren-
der of Neutrality-suspicious. Policy
Holders.

New York, Especially The inter-
national policy holders committee, at
a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria
ousted Bishop Charles G. McCabe, of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
from membership on the committee.
This was the committees answer to
the bishops letter, made public
through the management of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, as
sorting that he had not authorized the
use of his name in a committee ad-
dress, and urging that the interna-
tional organization indorse the ad-
ministration ticket of the two mutual
companies.
Eighteen of twenty-five members
of the committee were present at the
meeting, and the vote to dispense
with the bishops services was unan-
imous. Bishop McCabe's attitude,
the committee held, was so complete
ly out of sympathy with the announc-
ed purpose of the organization that
it amounted in effect to surrender
of his membership. The bishop was
not present at the meteing.
The resolutions adopted stated that
copies of the proposed address were
furnished to Bishop McCabe before
the meeting at which the address, as
adopted, was mailed at least three
weeks before the address was dis
tributed, and no objection or criti-
cism was made by him as to the form
of the address for four weeks, after
it's distribution, nor until the letter
of August 81.
The chairman is authorized to pre-
pare an answer to the bishops let
ter.
The international committee at the
meeting also selected the men whom
it will present on the policy holders
tickets for trustees of the Mutual
and New York Life. In selecting
the former ticket the international Or
ganization cooperated with the Nut
ual Life Policy Holders Association.
The tickets will not be made public
until September 1S', the date on which
they must be filed in Albany.
A subject discussed was the action
of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany in nominating Judge George
Gray, Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy, Col.
Alfred M. Shook, and Harlow N.
Higginbotham, members of the in
ternational policy holders committee,
as trustees, against their wishes. The
following resolution was passed:
Resolved, That the placing of the
names of the four members of this
committee on the administration
ticket of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, without the consent and
against the protest of those whose
names were thus used, tends to de-
ceive the policy holders who are
called upon to vote, and deserves
the reprobation of fair-minded men.

NEW BUILDING CoLLAPsEs.
Supports Were Removed Too Soon
Several Killed And Injured.

Elyria, O., (SpeciaD Two men
were killed and a dozen fatally in
jured and many others hurt by the
falling of the second floor of the
new factory building of the Farford
Company, under construction here.
The accident happened while 27
men were at work removing the false
structure used to hold the concrete
pillars of the new building in place.
The false work, it is said, was re-
moved too soon, the concrete not yet
having hardened sufficiently to sus-
tain the weight of the structure.
Sixteen workmen on the first floor
of the building were caught be-
meath the fall of heavy tile, brick
and steel beams of the wrecked floor.
The dead and injured, so far as
is known, are Hungarians, who were
doing THE heavy work about the con-
struction of the building. The in
jured were removed to a hospital
as fast as taken from the ruins. All
the ambulances and doctors in the
city were called to the relief of the
injured.

.FORGER|ES DONE BY Nipple
More VilIainies of the Suicide President
Discovered.


Philadelphia, Especially .-Forger-
les for more than a quarter of mil
lion of dollars by Frank X. Nipple,
the suicide president of the defunct
Real Estate Trust Company, have
been discovered by Receiver Earle.
The latter made this statement add
ing that he had no idea where Hip
pies villainy would end. Nipple, in
order to meet his immense over
drafts, used the names of some of
the most prominent business men OF
this city on notes which in some cases
amounted to $150,000.
The president had taken copies of
the signatures of a number of bust
ness men while some of their checks
or negotiable securities passed
through his hands, but in every case
he avoided the use of the name of a
Real Estate Trust Company deposit
tor.
When pinched for money to meet
his overdrafts or some big Segal loan,
Mr. Earle said, as a last resort Hip
pie would draw up a note with the
forged signature attached.
This he would take to the cashier
or paying teller, saying he had per-
sonally made the loan, and it was
discounted. With this amount to
his credit he would satisfy the press
ing claim.
Receiver Earle said that in order
to accomplish the reorganization OF
the Real Eestate Trust Company he
would accept the presidency If the
depositors insisted
That someone secured 100000
for negotiating the loans made to
Adolf Segal by President Nipple is
believed by those now engaged in
investigating the company's affairs.
Segals repeated assertions that he
did not borrow more than 100000
from the trust company has caused
the investigators to exert every eff
fort to discover all of the details
connected with these loans, and il
it is found that others benefited they
will be made to return the money.
