FLAWS MOTHER HEARS II She Was On Her Way to London When Her Son Shot Architect
 Stanford White
NEWS KEPT BACK ON JOURNEY

Tilbury, Eng. July 3.-The news of the tragedy in the Madison Square roof garden, New York, June 25, when Harry Thaw shot and killed Stanford White, had not been com- municated to his mother, Mrs Thaw, when the Atlantic transport line steamer Minneapolis, from New York June 23. docked here this morning. Extraordinary precautions were talk en on board to keep any inkling of the tragedy from her until relatives were able to break the news. Mrs Thaw, who had been unusually cheer ful throughout the voyage, was met by her son-in-law, the earl of Yar- mouth, and Blair Thaw, who came to Tilbury to welcome her and her face was wreathed in smiles when she landed. It was expected that the news would be communicated to her while on the train, bound for Lon don. As she stepped ashore Mrs Thaw was surrounded by friends and de- tectives, the latter being detailed to prevent any stranger from approach ing her. After landing Mrs Thaw and her party boarded a special train, from which reporters were expressly excluded.
 As the train pulled out of the sta- tion Mrs Thaw was still smiling, ap-s parently being in continued ignor- ance of the tragedy. The earl of Yar- mouth said that he would not break the news to her until they reached the house. She narrowly escaped hearing the news at the docks. While the earl of Yarmouth was talking to the American press representatives reporter for an English newspaper attempted to speak to Mrs Thaw, but the earl intervened just in time to save her from getting the first news from stranger.
 Wireless messages containing the news were received on board the Min neapolis. but the captain, having been so advised, suppressed them.

TRAIN WRECKED
 NO ONE INJURED Tho Fastest Passenger Train Which Runs Between Saratoga and
 New York
SWITCH TENDERS MISTAKE
He Thought It Was Local Train That Was to Take a
 Side Track.

Ballston. N. Y., July 3.-The Sara toga limited. the finest and fastest passenger train running between Sar- atoga and New York, was wrecked in this village early this morning, and although the train was com pletely demolished, not passenger was killed or injured. The train left Saratoga at TAO with twenty pas sengers and crew of seven. At the north end of this village the Schenectady electric railway con meets with the steam railway. The switch tender made mistake and opened the switch, thinking 1t was the local train to be side tracked. Instead 1t was the limited going fifty miles an hour. When 1t reached the switch there was crash and the entire train leaped from the track. The engine parted from the train and landed in a ditch on its side. - Engineer Edward Crane and Fire .Aan William Flannery stuck to their posts and were not injured. The lOuE pdidCo CATS ioilOwcu LHo tIdck for a few feet and then overturned and went into the ditch. The fact that the engine parted from the train and went to one side, prevent ing telescoping, probably saved a score of lives.
 The limited was due in New York at 11:30.
 Wrecking ccrews were summoned to clear away the debris. The en- gineer afterwards said that the sig nnls were set right. It is believed that the switch was turned just be- fore the train reached the Junction.

D0INGS IN THE COURTS.
Several Cases That Will Keep the
 Lawyers Busy for a Time.

In the city court, criminal side, this afternoon Attorney Guilfoile moved before Judge Peasley that the | band in the cases of the three men, Peter and Charles Lokvitis and Jo- seph Frank, be increased from $500 | in each case. Mir Guilfoile claimed that the injured man, Michael Aux slopolius, is in a dangerous condition. Attorney Bauby claimed otherwise and desired the bond be reduced. Dr Thibault, who is attending the man, stated that he visited him at II o'clock to-day and found him in a slightly improved condition. He ad- mitted that in such cases there is always a possibility of blood poison setting. Judge Peasley declined to reduce or lower the bonds.
 Bernard F. Kilduff, letter car rier, and Fannie N. Church own ad- joining property on Ridgewood street. Mrs Church some time ago built a wall about twelve feet high which Mir Kilduff claimed was an injury to his property, and also that 1t is a menace and is not properly taken care of. Several times he asked her to repair 1t, but she refused to do so and he accordingly entered suit for $100 damages. This suit was heard by Judge Peasley in the city court this afternoon.
 The Lithuanian alliance held a very interesting and lively meeting last Sunday evening. The situation in the old land was up for discussion and the arguments were as warm as the weather.
 John s. Prusulaitis had the floor and he seemed to have had it too long to suit his compatriot, Bernardas Montvila. The first named is tailor and last March his shop was burned down. Now was an opportunity for Montvila to show his feeling toward Pruslaitis and he shouted so that all in the hall heard him:
 'Oh. you shut up. and go and burn your shop again." The greatest con- sternation ensued. Here was one man openly charging the other with one of the grayest crimes. incendiarism. Pruslaitis thought the matter over and to-day through Attorney Lynch he instituted suit for $1,000 dam ages against Montvila.
