ICE TRUST EVIDENCE GONE.
Disappears from Office Of New York
Attorney General.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 11.-All the evil
dence on which was based the COM
plant of Attorney General julius
Mayer against the American Ice COM
pany for dissolution of an alleged mo-
nopoly Of the ice business, served on
December 20, has disappeared from
the attorney generals Office and can
not be found. This announcement
was made by Attorney General Will
liam S. Jackson.
Mr.. Jackson also made public af-
fidavits of employees of the attorney
generals Office which show that part
at least of the papers were known to
be missing late in December before
the retirement of his predecessor, Mr..
Mayer, but that this was not known to
Mr.. Jackson until early in January,
when, after he himself had assumed
office, he took up the case with view
of further proceedings.

THINK WHOLE CREW LOST
UNKNOWN SCHOONER WRECKED
OFF HATTERAs COAST.
Victims Probably Number Ten
Those Not Drowned Believed to
Have Been Frozen to Death.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. S.-The unknown
three-masted schooner driven ashore
during Tuesday night on the south.
west corner of the inner Diamond
shoals, off the treacherous Hatteras
coast, for a century known as the
graveyard of the Atlantic coast, went
to pieces in a raging sea Wednesday
night, and when life-savers from the
Hatteras and Creed's Hill life-saving
stations arose at daybreak Thursday
to renew efforts which failed on We'd
nesday to rescue the crew of the yes.
sci there was no trace of the i'll.
fater schooner to be seen.
There seems to be no doubt what
ever of the loss of all those who
were seen Wednesday clinging to the
rigging of the ship frantically display
ing signals of distress, but whose res
cue by the life-savers was prevented
by the elements.
A telegram from Cape Hatteras
says nothing is known as to the name
or destination of the lost schooner,
and nothing about the schooner is
known except that the position of
the vessel as seen Wednesday after
she struck on the shoals leads to the
belief that she was south bound.
The vessel is believed to have car
ried crew of from eight to ten
men, and possibly more, and those
who were not washed overheard and
drowned are believed to have been
frozed to death while dashed to the
masts and rigging before the vessel
went to pieces. The wind continued
very high from early Wednesday
night. with mountainous seas, and
these conditions lasted all night, with
no possible chance Of the life-savers
reaching the doomed vessel.
1t is thought that identity of the
vessel may be ascertained eventually
by the washing ashore of wreckage.
1t is not believed that any of the
crew could have survived the cold and
exposure to which they were sub
jected, even if they should have sue
ceeded in improvising life raft be-
fore the vessel broke up. That most
of them froze to death in the rigging
and their bodies afterward washed
into the sea seems to be the general
belief

GREAT WESTERN FAST MAIL is
WRECKED AT GERMAN
VALLEY, ILL.
THREE PERSONS DEAD;
FOUR SERIOUSLY HURT
Engine and Cars Leave Rails While
Going Sixty Miles an Hour-WaIIs
of Building Crushed and Victims
Buried in Grain.

Rockford, ILL.,, Feb. S.-The Omaha
fast mail, on the Great Western rail
way, was wrecked at German Valley,
small station in the southeast corner
of Stephenson county and SO miles
from Chicago, killing three and SER
iously injuring four others early Thurs
day morning. The sleeping coaches
were the only ones which kept the
track and the rest rolled down the low
embankment on which the Great West
ern tracks are laid throughout it's
entire distance.
The dead are Martin Cline, of Chi
cago, and two mail clerks.
1t is said that the conductor of the
wrecked train was instructed to take
siding at German Valley either to
escape blocking from a smashed
freight car there or to go around a
freight train stalled at that point.
Strikes Elevator; Buried by Grain.
The train was going 60 miles an
hour and, striking spiked switch,
left the rails and went over the en-
bankment. The engine turned over
and struck the small grain elevator
at the point, which is operated by
the railway as collection point from
the farms around The impact was
sufficient to break in the walls of the
elevator and stream of grain poured
out, burying the train crew and some
of the mail clerks.
Subsequently the missing men were
found pinned under the car, dead. The
engineer was found under the locomo-
tive, dead also. The fireman, Runnell,
was severely burned and scalded from
escaping steam, for the engine, while
not exploding, had wrenched the nuts
of the back free and the steam was
blowing into the cab.
The engine, baggage car and mail
car were smashed and the passenger
coaches show the effect of the acct
dent
The coroner from Freeport immedi-
ately started for the scene and will
hold an inquest Early Thursday morn
ing the railroad company sent an en-
CINE to the spot and hauled the two
uninjured cars to Freeport and the
injured were taken there at the same
time.
