New York Central indicted.

New York, N. Y-Indictments
charging manslaughter in the second
degree have just been returned against
the New York Central railroad, Ira Nc
Cormihck, general superintendent OF
the company, and Alfred H. Smith, one
of the vice presidents of the road, in
connection with the wreck of the Brew
ster express on the Harlem division
last month.
Mccormick and Smith entered pleas
of not guilty and were released on $10,-
900 bail each
The grand jury also handed up pre-
sentiment containing many recommen-
dations to the state railroad commits
sloners concerning restrictions upon
railroad operation in this state.
The grand jury declares that the
railroad company "feloniously, wilfully
and carelessly, with gross culpable ne
glbgence and misconduct" omitted to
ascertain at what speed 1t was safe
for the train to pass around the curve.
1t charges also that the company
omitted to exercise any effective meas
ures TO prevent the train passing
around the curve at a speed faster than
was safe, and that it placed the train
under the control of an engineer not
properly trained and experienced, and
not competent to run the train with
safety.
The presentment declares that the
disaster was directly due to excessive
and abnormal speed on the curve, and
it suggests that the state board of
railroad commissioners make such reg
ulations as will prevent recurrence
of such conditions on any railroad in
the state.
Twenty-four persons lost their lives
and more than 100 others were more or
less seriously injured in the wreck OF
the Brewster train, one of the new
electric type which was recently sub
stituted for those drawn by steam
locomotives in the Central's subur-
ban service

eastman Would Demand a Trial.

Nashua, N. H.-"If l were the de-
PENDANTS in the suit against Mrs. Ed
dy's associates, l would demand a
trial" said Atty. Gen. E. G. Eastman,
In discussing the Eddy case recently.
"There have been rumors OF an at
tempt to settle the case out OF court,
but have heard nothing OF these and
had I, If were In the place OF the
defendants, should demand the trial,
"The case is scheduled to come up at
he next term Of superior court in Mer-
rimac county, which opens next Tues
day and as far as know the case will
be tried"
Mr.. Eastman was Of the opinion that
the defendants would gain as much by
the trial as the next friends" Of Mrs.
Eddy would by trying the case in court
or securing a settlement. He said that
he had been retained by the New
Hampshire defendants in the case, and
as counsel could say but little.
"There are three statements that
will make, however," he said, "and
those are that as far as 1 know the
case will come to trial; that il were
a defendant | should demand trial,
and third, that believe Mrs. Eddy
is sound in mind and thoroughly cap
able of handling and guiding her own
affairs, financially and otherwise"

Washington.-Repo that the Pres
ident will make a speech or statement
on the general railway situation and
the relations existing between him and
the railroad magnates are neither ar
firmed nor denied at the White House.
The White House Is no longer pub
licly loquacious and the President is
careful to impress upon his visitors
that the less they say for publication
the better he will like It, Typical OF
the new order of things was the in
junction laid upon a delegation OF IL
linois manufacturers who called
upon the President. He talked with
them quite freely about railroad mat
ters, but he requested them to make
no attempt to repeat for publication
his views unless they did ii with great
caution.
so impressed were the visitors with
the Importance Of the confidence re-
POSED in them that they agreed to
make no statement until they had re-
turned to their hotel and formally
drawn up a report in writing.
The committee told the President
their fear of an Industrial panic unless
some assurances are given the country
by him They were assured that the
country had nothing to fear and were
advised that the President would take
the matter of making public address
under advisement.
He was invited to announce his pol
Icy in an address to be delivered at
convention of the Illinois manufac-
turers' association at Springfield, III.
This convention will be held within
two weeks, and the time of its meeting
will be fixed to suit the convenience
of the President. He will decide with
in three or four days whether or not he
will attend the convention and make
an address which will have a calming
effect.

New York, N. Y.-A spark from a
hammer blow ignited a quantity of set
pieces in the finishing room OF the
Consolidated fireworks company at
Graniteville, S. l., Wednesday and in
the resulting explosion one man was
torn to pieces, a boy and two girls In,
jured probably fatally, and seven other
persons more or less seriously burned
Henry Paul, 16 years old, was nail
ing a wooden bottom on a "geyser"
piece, when spark from his hammer
started are that filled the room with
shooting stars and blazing magnesia
balls. There was rush for the door,
and six Of the employees had reached
the outside, when terrific explosion
rent the building and enveloped the
less fortunate ones in flames.
Arnold Ruff, aged 80, was killed in
stantly. Paul was burned from head
to foot, as were Helen Decker, aged
IL, and Margaret Koski, 10. These
three can hardly survive. Hazel Deck
er, twin sister of Helen, was seriously
burned, but will recover.
All of the employees in the room were
burned, but 1t was due to the heroism
of her companions that the most
helpless one suffered the least. One
of the girls had tainted just before the
accident, and had been stretched out on
the floor with her face at the open
door.
When the fire started other girls
seized her and had dragged her half
way through the doorway when the
explosion occurred. The bodies of her
rescuers served to protect the uncon-
scious girl from the falling timbers
and spreading flames.

BACKS UP HIS MEN.
White officer corrohOrates Testimony
Of Negro Soldiers Before Senator's

Washington. Geo. G, Lawra'
son, who was In command Of Co. b,
25th infantry, on the night of the AZ,
fray at Brownsville, Tex, was on the
stand nearly all of Tuesday before the
senate committee on military AFFAIRS.
On practically all material points
ais testimony corroborated that given
by the men OF his command and also
that by the men Of Cos. c and d.
He was shown bullets taken from
the walls of houses In Brownsville, but
could not say whether they had been
fred from the Springfield rifles, with
which the 25th were equipped, or
whether they had been discharged
from krag-jorgensen cartridges by
krag rifles or carbines.
He gave testimony inferring that the
shells picked up in the streets may
have been discharged on the range at
Fort Niobrara and carried to Fort
Brown.
He was certain that two of the rifles
Identified by expert examination of
.he shells as having been used to fire
certain lot Of the cartridges had not
been out of the chests in which they
had been packed at Niobrara.
Lieut.. Lawrason told Of having been
awakened by the firing, and of his ef.
forts to get the company formed amid
the confusion attending the call to
arms. He said that he had posted his
men along the wall in the rear OF the
barracks at the order OF Maj. Penrose.
Senator Foraker asked the witness il
the men could have cleaned their guns
while stationed along the walls.
Lieut.. Lawrason thought this would
have been impossible, as they had no
equipment except that in the butt of
their guns, and which he thought in.
adequate for the cleaning OF guns for
inspection If the guns had been fired.
The witness explained that shells
picked up on the rife range are saved
and decapped, and shipped back to the
arsenal. He said that at Fort Niobrara
there was something wrong with Co.
BIS decapper and more than 100 shells
were put In box and shipped to Fort
Brown to be decapped there. He did
not know what had become of the box
after the arrival OF the company at
Brownsville, but there was consider.
able property left on the rear porch
of the barracks.
The inference plainly shown by Sen
ator Foraker's questions was that this
box may have been accessible to
Mexican boys or others, and that shells
bearing marks that could be traced to
Co. B rifles may have been carried
into the town and thrown in the
streets to manufacture evidence
against the negro soldiers.

Boston-Bathing on the beach is not
q right enjoyed by the public in this
commonwealth.
This important decision was made
by the full bench of the supreme court
recently in the suit of Paul Butler and
others against the attorney-general,
seeking registration OF their title to
the beach over which the tide ebbs
and flows at Bay View, Gloucester.
The court held that in the seashore
the entire property is in the individual,
subject to an easement in the public
between high and low water mark to
hse 1t for navigation, fishing, fowling
and passing over and through the
water, without any use of the land un-
derneath, wherever the tide ebbs and
flows.
When the tide is' in the public has
the same right to swim in the water
as boat has to sail therein, but 1t
has no right to use for bathing pur-
poses, as these words are commonly
understood, that part of the beach or
shore above low water mark where
the distance to high water mark does
not exceed 100 rods, whether covered
with water or not.
The court bases its decision on the
colonial ordinance of 1G41-47, which
is embodied in the common law. At
all summer resorts where hotel pro-
prietors own the land comprising the
beach in fee subject to the rights of
the public referred to, bathing by the
public on the beach may be restrained
by such owners, so the significance of
the decision of the court is obvious.
The court says in conclusion:
THE provision and conditions in ref
erence to land under tidewater are
different from those that pertain to
great ponds In those the entire pro-
prietorship is kept in the state for the
benefit of the public, and unless grant
ed by the legislature or by the town
under its authority, they are to be ap-
propriated to such public uses as the
progress of civilization and the in
creasing wants Of the community
properly demand.
I'm the seashore the entire property
under the colonial ordinance Is in the
individual, subject to the public rights.
Among them is, of course, the right OF
navigation with such incidental rights
as pertain thereto We think that
there is right to swim and float in
or upon public waters as we'll as to
sail upon them.
But we do not think that this In
cludes a right to use for bathing pur-
poses, as these words are commonly
understood, that part of the beach of
shore above low water mark, where
the distance to high water mark does
not exceed 100 rods, whether covered
with water or not 1t is plain, we
think, that under the law of Massachu-
setts there is no reservation or recog-
milton OF bathing on the beach as
separate right of property in individu-
ais or the public under the colonial or
dinance.
"The right of fowling was expressly
mentioned in the ordinance OF l64l,
and was thereby created as a public
right in householders, If 1t did not pre-
viously exist at common law. The
language was retained in the ordi-
nance when it was enlarged by addi-
tional provisions. There may be
ground for question as to whether it
was nullifed by the subsequent grant
of lands to individual proprietors be-
tween high water and low water mark.
