Hopelessly divided-seven for a
verdict of guilty of murder in the first

since January % has been trying
Harry K. Thaw reported, after At
hours and 8 minutes of deliberation,
that it could not possibly agree on a
verdict The IL men were promptly
discharged by Justice Fitzgerald who
declared that he too believed their
task was hopeless. Thaw was re-
manded to the Tombs without bail to
await a second trial on the charge Of
having murdered Stanford White.
When this new trial would take
place no one connected with the case
could express an opinion. District At

have to take his turn with the rest.
AS to a possible change of venue,
both the district attorney and counsel
for Thaw declared they would make
no such move.

present intentions, j. Russell Peabody,

Thaw's release on bail would be made.

ELEVEN BURNED TO DEATH.
Canadian Pacific Passenger Train
Wrecked Near Chapleau,
On%ario


What is stated to be the most dis
astrous wreck in the history of the
Canadian Pacific railway occurred to
No. l express, westbound passenger
train, at a point about 20 miles from
Chapleau, Ont, recently. While run
ming at high rate of speed the train
struck a broken rail, with the result
that the engine and all the coaches left
the track and were hurled into the
ditch.
A tourist car filed with immigrants
from the steamer Kensington was
nearest to the engine, and took fire
from the impact with the overturned
f1rebox. Eight adults and three little
children we're caught under the debris
OF this coach and burned to cinders.
Identification of these unfortunates
is quite impossible, as their bodies
were entirely incinerated. Eighteen
other passengers are said to have been
severely injured. Such is the account
in the first wire received, but it is
now expected that the death list will
be appalling.
SOhhCSbAOh 40 OelAO W AloNC DOOAA
made with the wires along the track
and auxiliary and breakdown trains
telegraphed for from the two nearest
points from which relief could come,
namely Schrieber, Isl miles to the
west, and to North Bay, 270 miles to
the east of the scene. Owing to the
distance from effective aid there was
no means of dealing with the outbreak
of fire among the wreckage, or of af.
fording the injured the assistance that
might have been given in the saving
of several lives. The passengers were
in their berths on the sleeper when the
derailment took place.
The Canadian Pacific railway runs
through no more desolate or sparsely
inhabited regian than that around

MEXICO CITY SHOOK.
FEARFUL EARTHQUAKE sun
DAY-LASTED FOUR MINUTES.
People Fled From Their Houses Into
Streets-No Deaths Reported-Huge
Cracks in Business Streets Ten
Yards Long-EIectrlc Lights Put
.out-other Towns Get a Touch.

City Of Mexico, April 15-An earth
quake lasting four and half minutes
startled in this city Sunday night. The
earth rocked in long, swinging mo-
ton, terrifying the inhabitants, but do
ing no damage so far as can be learn
ed at this city.
Clocks stopped at 11:34 (Mexican
time) and the perceptible motion OF
the earth ceased at 1888 1-2. Tele-
graph wires were put out Of commits,
sion and for a short time the city was
in darkness, owing to the failure OF
the electric lights.
The asphalt on one Of the principal
business streets of the city was
cracked open for a distance of 10
yards.
People fed from their houses into
the streets.
At the police stations no deaths had
been reported up to 12:45 a. m.
No reports have yet come from the
American colony, but it is not believed
that serious damage was sustained
there, although the houses, unlike
those in the old section of the city
are not built to withstand earthquake
shocks. At the time of the first shock
the cafes and theaters were filed and
for a time a panic was feared, but
owing to the peculiarly steady swing
ing motion of the earth the crowds left
the buildings in order. The shock was
preceded by two bright electric flash
es, which lit up the sky II the north
west of the city. Up to this time the
property loss is reported as very
small A number of walls in unsub.
stantial nuildiugs collapsed, narrowly
escaping Eurying the inmates.
The city is comparatively quiet, al
though the streets are thronged with
people, many refusing to enter their
houses through fear of a more severe
shock to come.
The official record of the meteoro
logical bureau gave the duration Of
the shock as four minutes. The move
ment was from east to west in an
oval shape. The needle first described
10 centimeters and later 81. then il
swung completely out of the dial
leaving the exact extent of the SHOCK
a matter of conjecture. The observer
declares that the center of the shocE
was probably to the southwark and il
is feared that towns in that regior
may have suffered.
Freaks of the Quake.
Not a station of the fire department
received a call. One freak of the
earthquake was recorded. A driver OF
circus wagon who was taking par.
aphernalia to a nearby railroad sta,
ton was thrown from his seat by the
force of the shock. He was uninjured
beyond slight bruises received, but all
of the animals he was driving were
killed.
From the city of Vera Cruz, south of
here, the shock is reported to have
been severe. At the meteorological
bureau it was said the shock was the
heaviest experienced here since 1882.
From what is known here now it is
thought that the shock extended for
about 100 miles north of Oaxaca.

SLUMP HAS NOT HURT MARKET
Railway Securities Have shrunk 3d.

Railway Securities Have Shrunk 3d.
097,ooo,ooo, but Demand Is Firm
That railway securities have shrunk
S2,O97, 100000 in 6S days past is given
on the authority of the Railroad Ca
zetee. This does not include the
shrinkage in bonds, which would add
materially to the total losses in mar
ket values in railroad securities.
Accepting this statement as approx
imately correct, and few question the
accuracy of the Railroad Gazette,
American people may find ground for
congratulation in the amazing fact
that, while this tremendous slump was
taking place, not a failure of note has
been recorded, in the United States;
and that not even on Wall street, dur
ing the savage battle of the bulls and
bears, was there failure worthy of
notice.

WHY PROH|Bs
WANTED HIGGINS
TO LEAD FIGHT

George Couyers. OF Arlington, a dele
gate to the Prohibition convention from
the town Of Cranston, gives the follow
ing rea sons why there are many Prohi-
bitionists who wanted Gov. Higgins to
head their ticket:
The movement to place the governor
at the head OF our ticket WAS prompted
by apr eciation of the splendid fight that
he is making In the reform that he Is
leading; the success OF this movement
most vitality affects US who are working
for prohibition.
''The methods OF controlling the gov
ernment and people OF this state evolved
by Gen. Brayton and his associates and
so successfully used for so many years,
Is, Notwithstanding the hard blows dealt
II this last year, in fairly good working
'order. Veteran Prohibitionlsts will have
q very vivid recollection of this way this
system witn Brayton at the helm, laugh
ed at three-ffths OF the voters OF this
state, mads their ballots OF no effect
and the Prohibition amendment that they
had spent so much time and labor to en-
act. IA dead letter; and then ordered them
to repeal, and buiy IL out OF his sight
With this oligarchy as strong as IL is to-
day and made up OF men and interests
opposed to Prohibition, we need not hope
for Improvement.
THE placing OF Mr.. Higgins at the
head OF our ticket would be recogni-
ton of the whole Prohibition party OF
Rhode Island OF the Importance OF the
reform he Is heading, which. IL he is sue
cessful, will give back to the people of
Rhode Island then government, and at
the same time defeat the most powerful
combination of the forces opposed to
prohibition that there is in the state.
"As these two reforms are so closely
connected and so dependent upon each
other, and both OF them so very bene-
ficial to the people of the state, IL is more
desirable that every Prohibtionist should
take an active part in working for them"
