Again number OF lives have been
lost in Railroad accidents. The Big
Fonr colided with n freight train
early Sunday morning. while running
ut a rate Of so miles an hour, and at
least l6 persona were killed and n
arge number injured. The cause of
the wreck was given out as being 40
foggy that the signal could not be
seen. 1t may DO that tho excuse will
hold good, and, of course it will, but
1t seems that if the fog was 40 dense
that II signal could not be seen, sure
" tho engineer should have stopped
tho train and not run the risk. Pre-
haps n iew judicious and Just convic-
tions would prove most beneficial in
inducing n greater amount OF caution
IA the operation of railroad trains.
Operators are no doubt often to be
blamed and are often blamed for ne
cidents when they should not be.
Investigations would be moro eiIec-
tive II they went beyond the mere
question OF the employees derelictior
and Tx the responsibility where il
actually belongs, no matter how higi
Il railroad official it may implicate.

Hartman. the railroad king to Sid ney Webster, a millionaire. in which
 Hartman, stated that he was called to Washington by President Roose- welt in 1gO4 and told that the state of New York was in danger through the lack of funds; that Cortelyou had failed to collect sufficient money to run the campaign and save the state and that the president had instructed Hartman to raise the money. In re- spOnse to the request Hartman had returned to New York, had himself contributed $J0,00O and had requested friend to raise the rest. This friend succeeded in doing so. until an amount equal to $2C0.0O0 had been secured and the state was saved 100.- GOO votes for the republican party.

WATER TO
 THE RAILS Earthquake Under Bed of Ocean Encountered By Steamer
 Planet Neptune .LOOKOUTS CLOSE CALL Swept Off His Feet and Hurled Against Rail.--The Sea Was LaShed 10 a Fury and Cover cd With
 Foam.
.LOOKOUTS CLOSE CALL

New York, April "A tremendous wave which the captain believes re- suited from an earthquake under the bed of the ocean was encountered about 300 miles off the Atlantic coast of South America on February 26 by the steamer Planet Neptune which arrived here today from the west coast of South America. She had pleasant weather on the long voyage around the Horn and was steaming slowly off the Brazilian coast when the big wave bore down upon her The great mass of water struck the steamer with such force that she was brought almost to dead stop Then the flood broke over her filling the decks level with the rails. The man on lookout was swept from his feet by the rush of water, but managed to grasp rail and save himself from being carried into the sea. He was found dazed. half drowned and with q broken hand when the decks cleared. During the few moments when Nep- tune was struggling with the great wave the sea in all directions was covered with foam and the water whirled and dashed in all directions. Captain Timmis of the steamer said to-day that the conditions were very similar to those observed at Iquique in December when there were sever al earthquake shocks. while the steamer was lying in the harbOr.

PASTORAL LETTER.
Bucharest Peasants Will Be Released
 From Their Oaths,

Bucharest, Rumania, April o. The metropolitan of Bucharest will issue shortly pastoral letter releas- ing the peasantry from the oaths which they took on enrolment in the insurgent forces. This is expected to assist in the work of pacification, many fanatical rustics having sent in word that they could not cease plundering until absolved from the oaths.
 Quiet continues to prevail in Mol david, but the troops will remain un- der arms until the peasants resume the cultivation of the land.
 Agitation is still rampant in some of the Danubian districts and noun tainous regions of Valcea.
 Four villages in the district of Mehidinthi are reported to have been razed by artillery fire, with con- siderable loss of life. Some reports say that hundreds of peasants were killed or wounded. Investigations of similar sensational figures regard ing causalties, in the case of previ- ous bombardments, have always proved them to be greatly exagger- ated.

Affects Railroad Business.

Brattleboro, Vt, April 2.-Despite the recent statement given out by the Central Vermont railroad that special attention will be given to moving freight on the West River road, where large quantities of lum- Der have been tied up for some time, the executive committee of the West River Lumbermen's association has decided to call the attention of the state railroad commissioners to the existing conditions along this line. An effort will be made to have a hearing in the matter some time this month.
 At the meeting of the executive committee 1t was brought out that one company has 3,000,000 feet of dry lumber waiting for shipment, for which 1t has been unable to get cars. Two other companies have been handicapped by similar conditions and have together 4,500,000 feet waiting movement.
 The Central Vermont Railroad Co states that about 500 cars of lumber have been moved since December 1. This averages about four cars day, and figuring 13.000 feet of lumber to a car this means a movement of about 52.000 feet of lumber day. Two of the companies along the West River line alone cut about 50,000 feet day and there are more than thirty shippers on the road. tI is estimated that $250,000 worth of lumber Is now awaiting for ship ment. and with the coming of dry weather some of the companies have engaged night watchmen to protect the lumber now piled up from Ire.

THE DAY IN CHICAGO.
Opened Clear and Cool-Both Sides
 Are Confident.

Chicago, April Mot in many years has there been held in Chicago g municipal election so important and far-reaching in its effects as that which began at 6 o'clock this mOrn- ing at the 1,256 voting precincts in this city.
 Besides the election of city officers, the people will decide or fail to de- eide, the street car question, which has kept the city in agitation during the last ten years.
 This election also will be the first by which city officials are to he se- lected for term of four years. as against. the two-year term which has been the law in the past.
 The polls will close at o'clock in the afternoon and 1t Is estimated that SJ0.OOO citizens will express by their ballots their choice both as to candi- dates and the various questions of public policy that will be submitted to the people to-day.
 The republican managers claim that their candidate for mayor, Fred A. Busse. present postmaster of Chi cago. will have Il plurality of from 80.OOO to 10000.
 The democratic leaders assert their belief in the success of Mayor Ed ward F. Dunne, by about tine same advantage over Busse that the re- publicans claim for their candidate.
 Besides the candidates for olfice the people will be called on to vote on several propositions. One of these is the question of public policy. by which the people will declare for or against approval of the traction ordi- nances passed over the veto. While these ordinances have been made q party measure. it is likely that party lines will he crossed by many of the voters on the proposition. The demo- cratic platform declares against the ordinances and Mayor Dunne has made his campaign in opposition to them.
 The republican platform declared for the ordinances. unequivocally, and Mir Busse is pledged to enforce ment of the measure if elected.
 Seldom in the history of Chicago were election precincts manned by so large an army of watchers and work CTS of both parties.
 The day opened clear and cold.

THE EDDY CASE.
Bill to Compel an Accounting to Be
 Heard To-day

Concord, N. H., April 2.-The bill in equity filed last February by George Washington Glover, of Lead, s. D., and others, in behalf of Glo- ver's mother, Mrs Mary Baker G. Ed dy, against number of Christian Science officials to compel an account ing of her property, and to bring about the appointment of a receiver was returnable in the Merrimac county superior court here to-day. There was much interest in to-day's proceedings, but according to the at- torneys connected with the case a hearing by the court at this time was not anticipated. Under the laws the defendants are called upon to file a document in reply to the bill in equity or else ask for an extension of time. Former Senator William E.. Chandler, chief counsel for the plaintiffs is in Washington and will not come to this city until hearing in court is held.
 Great interest in the case was manifested in this city, where Mrs Eddy has made her home for many years, and there was much specula- tion regarding the nature of the de- fendant's answer.
 It was rumored, although no off, cial confirmation could be obtained, that Lewis c. Strang, Mrs Eddy's assistant secretary, was soon to re- tire from his post. Mir Strang has been member of the Pleasant View" household for. two or three years, coming here from Boston, where he was an active newspaper worker. According to the rumor, MT Strang is to be succeeded by H. Cornell Wilson, who is at the head of the Christian Science publication committee in New York city.

Washington, April 2.-The de- partment of agriculture is making preparations to begin prosecutions under the pure food law at an early day. and Dr Wiley, under whose di- rection as chief of the bureau of chemistry the work will be conduct ed, has given instructions to his in- spectors to secure as soon as possible the samples on which the accusa- tions will be based. The offending establishments have generally been located, and nothing remains to pre- pare a basis for the proceeding ex- cept to obtain specimens of the arti- cles alleged to be adulterated or im- pure. When these are procured charges will be formulated and sup piled to the United States district at torneys in whose districts the offend CTS may reside, whereupon they will be required to begin criminal pro- ceedings.
