SIX KILLED At CROSSING
SAD ACCIDENT OCCURS NEAR
SPRING VALLEY, N. Y.
Wagon, Carrying Pleasure Party, HIt
by Train-Runaway Horses Bring
the First News.

Spring Valley, N. Y, Feb. 25.-A
foam-specked pair of horses that tore
through the streets Sunday, dragging
between them a splintered wagon pole,
brought to the village the first news
of a grade-crossing accident In which
nine members of its most prominent
families were either killed outright or
frightfully injured.
The runaways brought up at the
livery stable of George Young, from
whom they had been hired the night
before to, take party Of men and
girls to basket ball game at Nyack
Returning Sunday, the wagonload Of
merrymakers was run down at a West
Nyack crossing by an Ontario & West
ern express train.
Four of the party were instantly
killed; two died while being removed
to the Hudson county hospital at Ho-
boken, N. j., and the other three lay
in serious condition at that institu.
tion Sunday night.
The dead are: George Reith, aged
30, assistant superintendent of the
telephone Office and manager of the
Spring Valley basket ball team; Mel
son May, aged 10, who drove the
team; Bertha Singer, aged 1s; Edith
Singer, aged 20; George shinn. aged
3S. basket ball player; Jeanette
Palmer. aged 21.
The responsibility for the accident
is in dispute. The survivors cannot be
questioned as yet, and the only other
witness was the crossing gate-tender.
He claims that the team was driven
through the lowered gates. The gate
on the side of approach was broken
down. but the opposite gate was in
tact and IT previously lowered must
have been hurdled by the frightened
horses after the wagon had been
struck and torn from its pole. The
animals were uninjured.

PANAMA CANAL
EATINGINTO MONEY
(By Associated 1,ress.) }

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Because
of changed conditions from those en-
listing in 1905, when the minority
board of consulting engineers of the
Panama Canal submitted it's report,
it is now admitted in responsible
quarters that the estimate by that re-
port for building the canal was far
too low; that the cost may approx
innate 100000, 1000. The estimate of
the board in 1906 was that the cost
of the canal would be $139,765,2 200.
Various reasons are assigned for the
increased cost, including wider and
longer locks than those proposed by
the board of engineers, greater
quantity of excavation than was es-
timated, increase in unit prices, AMI
higher prices for labor than those
thought adequate by the board. That
board estimated that the locks
would cost less than $42,O00,0 900,
while the present commission thinks
it will be between $52,0OO,O00 and
60,000,000, with still greater in
crease of 10 per cent, if locks are
further widened as proposed by the
Navy Department.

will be given until Monday morning.
In all probability. Mr.. Hickey will be
called upon to do as the Nye and
Ormsby has done. There is in the
State Bank deposit of $4,000 to
the credit of the county. A bond
will suffice, which will be responsible
for the money being turned over to
the treasurer before the end of Gill
bert's term.
With regard to the request for ade-
quate police protection for the town,
the Commissioners passed a resolu-
tion directing Sheriff Owens and
Chief of Police Malley to employ con-
ditional police or deputies when in
the Judgment of those officers the
occasion demanded it.
The recommendations regarding
Manhattan were also acted upon, the
Commissioners promising to put in
gutter in the main street to carry
off the water and keep the street
clear of the floods.
