The Stolen
Wedding Trip
BY HOWARD CROSBY WARREN
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

There was fire in the electric-light
station on Forty-siXth street one even
ing last June-not a very serious one,
but Just enough to throw the whole
plant out of gear. The company set
to work theoretically and had every
thing in full running order again by
nine o'clock This incident the or
binary householder and pedestrian
would have regarded merely as a
nuisance but, singularly enough, it
was but few minutes before the fire
that the discovery of a serious leak
in the gas main had necessitated cut
ting off the gas, thus plunging that
section of the city into total dark
ness for nearly two hours. Then every
body criticised both companies inn
partially and forgot the matter next
day But there are at least two
families who will not soon forget the
episode.
When the lights went out at Cart
wright & Taylor's livery stable, Mr..
Taylor was in the act of giving dtrec-
lions TO several of his drivers. Two
large church weddings were SEIZED
ued for the same hour, and a number
of carriages had been ordered from his
establishment
Hurry up, boys or you'll be late"
he cried. Won't do to keep them
weddins waitin' Here, Mike, you go
to Judge Sotos on Fifth avenue. They
are the groom. you know. And you,
Tom Baker, hustle round to 81 West
Thirty-Blankth street - that's the
other groom And say. Tom, you're
to"
Just then the Office was thrown into
utter darkness Several men at once
scurried off after lanterns. Mr.. Tay-
1or waited a few moments and then
impatiently struck some matches and
peered al the list. The second match
burned his fingers and he dropped it
with an emphatic remark. Then he
continued in the darkness: You're
TO drive them to St Basirs church,
you know And you, Mike. you're to
take Mr.. De Soto to St Jobs. Be
lively, now,'

and confusion subsidized and Mr.. Tay-
1or proceeded to give out the remain
ing directions
Tom Baker was kept waiting in
front of No. 81 some time. Henry
Gaines was making his wedding toilet
when the lights went out and his
progress was somewhat impeded by
the occurrence. Being a stranger in
town. he was uncertain. how to meet
the emergency AT last he managed
to summon help and lamp from the
parlor was temporarily secured. His

John as they leaped into the vehicle
Henry was too preoccupied to OBJ

about the gathering in the ehaneel

asked the porter, coming back some
time after.

Good gracious, Alice!s exclaimed
Henry, we've got in the wrong train,
somehow; and our train must have
gone long ago.
Then he pulled out his tickets and
looked at them. To his amazement
they read: New York to Montreal,
via Niagara Falls
At that moment a messenger boy
entered the car and began calling out:
Gaines Gaines in dismal voice.
"Herel' said Henry. reckoning to

The boy handed him a telegram,
which he read aloud

He kissed her before the whole car
and she responded gleefully Then
he scrubbed off a message and gave
it to the boy. It read as follows:

GASOLINE MOTORS
MAKE TRIAL TRIP
Mayor Hudson and Other Prom
inent Citizens Travel Little
Over Mile a Minute
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STOCKTON, Oct 20.-Mayor Hudson,
members of the city council and a
number of prominent citizens were
guests of the Southern Pacific COM
pany today when the recently arrived
zoo horsepower gasoline motor cars
which are to be installed in the service
of that company between Stockton and
Gait, commencing tomorrow, made it's
initial trial trip here. The run from
Stockton to Lodi, IA miles distant, was
made in 16 minutes. The cars are
capable of making IS miles an hour.
They are shaped very similar to a
torpedoboat destroyer, the pointed
nose being for speed purposes in order
that the least resistance be encoun-
tered. During the run no odor of gaso-
line can be detected and the wheels
glided over the rails more smoothly
than the larger trains. The cars carry
100 gallons of gasoline and can run
200 miles without resupplying the
tanks. BY valve system all danger
of explosion is eliminated, the least
break or leak causing an automatic
valve arrangement to close the lead to
the tank proper. Several trips were
made to Lodi during the day and hum
dreds of people took advantage of the
novel method of transportation. SINH
lar cars will be used on the Modesto
Stockton interurban, which Is now un-
dergoing preliminary surveys for the
actual work Of construction.

GALE SWEEPS CAR
OFF TRACK; KILLS 6
In Terrific Storm Cab0Ose Filled
With Laborers Is Blown
Over Embankment
Men Fight to Reach Door of the
Overturned Coach and Many
Are Injured

CHEYENNE, Wyo, Oct. 20-As a re-
suit of an unprecedented accident on
the Union Pacific at Lone Tree Creek,
Wyo., last night, six laborers are
known to be dead and several others
probably met death. while 25 or 80
others were injured, many very seri-
ously.
A terrific gale picked up the caboose
of work train, tore 1t away from its
coupling and carried it over the edge
of a fill. 1t dropped 80 feet with its
40 occupants, nearly all of whom were
section laborers, and the terror strick-
en- men were piled in helpless confusion
among wreckage when it landed
The work. of rescue has been slow
and only disconnected details have
come to headquarters here
Three of the injured are Conductor
James Lowery, Roadmaster Corliss and
Travelling Auditor Sumption.
The men had been at work below
Hermosa junction and were returning
to take a siding at that point for the
night when the accident happened. The
wind had been blowing a gale all day
long, as as darkness set in became
stronger.
BY the time the train reached the
long, deep fill at Lone Tree the wind
had assumed tornado velocity and in
a twinkling the light caboose was torn
from the string of f1atcars to which
1T was attached and hurled down the
steep embankment-
The. foreigners in the car became
panicstricken and those who were
thrown to the floor were trampled upon
The car was reduced to kindling wood
and twisted iron rods by the time 1t
reached the bottom Of the canyon. Those
who were killed were either pierced by
splinters or trampled upon or crushed
under the debris.
A relief train was sent to Lone Tree
and the dead and injured brought to
Cheyenne.
Had the caboose rolled to the bottom
of the fill all 40 of its occupants would
have been killed.

BOURBON CHIEFS
HOLD LOVE FEAST
Three Members of CIeveland's
Cabinets Attend Gathering
of New York Democrats

NEW YORK, Oct 2o-Three mem
bers of the cabinets of the late Presi-
dent Cleveland by presence and speech
at big democratic gathering here to-
night sought to demonstrate beyond
peradventure that the democracy of
Tilden and Cleveland was seeking to
secure the election of William ]. Bryan
TO the presidency.
The occasion was a mass meeting
under the auspices of the Bryan and
Kern businessmen's association at Car
negie hall and seated on the platform
were former Governor David r. Fran
els of Missouri, secretary of the in
terror under President Cleveland; Jud-
son Harmon of Ohio. former attorney
general. and Hilary A Herbert of Ala
bama, President Cleveland's secretary
of the navy. Word was received from
Richard Olney of Massachusetts, who
held the portfolio of secretary of state
under Cleveland, that he would be un-
able to be present because of pre-
vious engagement.
Mayor George B. Mcclellan presided
at the meeting and read a letter from
the venerable John BigeIow, author
and statesman, a friend of Abraham
Lincoln and Samuel Tilden, urging the
election of Bryan. The mayor was in
troduced by Nathan Straus.
Mcclellan declared that the present
administration was responsible for the
panic.
Harmon said that democrats who
withheld their support or gave 1t to
the republican party in 1906 now see
that in the end they injured the cause
they had at heart"
Herbert attacked the policy of the
republican party for not making
known its campaign contributions un-
til after election.
Francis said he favored the election
Of Bryan because he thought his sue
cess would do more to promote the
general welfare than would that of his
opponent.

BLAMES THE DINGLEY BILL
Governor Swanson Says Tariff
Measure Caused Hard Times

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-That the
American workingman is go per cent
worse of since the Dingley tariff bill
was passed." was the declaration of
Governor Claude A Swanson of Vir-
ginia in an address before the Owl
Travellers league today.
1 was in congress when that bill
was enacted" said Swanson, land l
predicted that If it were allowed TO
continue in force IL would produce a
panic. That prediction has come true,
and the republican party does not dare
come out in this campaign and cham
p1on that creation of IL years ago.
Since the law was enacted the cost of
living has increased 49 per cent, while
the wages of workingmen have in
creased only 19 per cent. The work
ingman, therefore, is 80 per cent worse
off now since this bill was passed
Governor Swanson said from one
third to one-half of the money of the
country was collected in taxes and
dissipated by extrayagant political ad-

MRS. BRYAN HELPS
NEBRASKAN'S TOUR
COmmoner's Campaign in Indi-
ana Ends With Spectacular
Entrance Into Louisville
Democratic Candidate Repeats
Charge That Republicans Ex-
pect to Buy Election

LOUISVILLE, KY. Oct. 20.-Passing
in review before thousands of people
along the line of march, followed by a
parade of many hundreds of marchers
and speaking to more people than the
sound of his voice could reach, William
J. Bryan tonight made a brief sally
south of the Ohio river. The rally in
Louisville was for Bryan the culmina
tion of one of the busiest days of the
campaign.
From the time he left New Albany,
Ind, just across the Ohio river, until
he spoke his final word of farewell
Bryan was the recipient of a continuous
ovation.
A pleasing feature of the trip was
the repeated calls for Mrs. Bryan, who
shared in the handshaking with her
husband She was overwhelmed with
attention at every place where stop
was made, and was the recipient Of
many handsome floral pieces.
PARADE A MILE LONG
Arriving in Louisville with the recep-
tion committee on two special trolley
cars, Bryan passed through an un-
broken line of people from the rivers
edge until he reached Phoenix park
seven miles away. When the car
riages bearing the party sEeached the
heart Of the city they tookBthe line at
the head of the procession, over mile
long, which was waiting to begin its
march at Phoenix hill
Women and children were endangered
at a number of congested points, and
many minor accidents occurred as
result of the crowding.
Arriving at Phoenix Hill park Bryan
was cheered for Is minutes. He found
it necessary TO deliver three addresses.
one TO an audience that packed Phoenix
hall, another to an even larger crowd
in the park outside and a third to the
paraders massed in an open space near
the park. He also made short speeches
at two other points, one of them being
an address to a delegation of railroad
employees.
CROWD ENDANGERS SPEAKER
Bryan declared. amid frantic yells.
that the turnout had been of such
size as to leave the democrats no op-
tion but to make MY Old Kentucky
Home the national anthem when they
assumed charge of the administration.
Before he had spoken more than five
minutes Bryan found il necessary to
issue a witty but peremptory order to
the crowd around the platform to give
way, the crowd obeying just in time to
prevent the possible injury of 100 or
more persons who were standing upon
chairs and were endangered by throngs
pressing in from the outside
Bryan's main address emphasized two
points. He repeated his charge that
the republicans were expecting to buy
the election if purchase was possible
and declared that a high tariff was a
breeder OF panics.
