BOWLDER ON TRACKS
STOPS A FAST TRAIN
Roosevelt, In a Parlor Car,
Pays Little Attention To
What Is Going On.

Albany, N. Y, June IA large
boWlder in the path OF the train bear
ing Col. Theodore Roosevelt to Chicago
brought his journey to an abrupt halt
less than an hour after it began at $50
O'Clock p. m. yesterday. The train was
bowling along at a high rate Of speed
when, w miles north Of Tarrytown,
1t came to a sudden stop with q series
Of jolts and the crunching of brakes.
The accident, fortunately, was not a
serious one, but it delayed the trains
arrival an hour at Albany. The train
reached here at 9:55 p. m. and left for
the west at 1923 D.. m.
Colonel Roosevelt sat quietly in his
stateroom during the halt down the
river without coming out to inquire
the couse OF the delay.
i did not know what had hap
pened until it was all ovr," he said.
Il wondered at the long delay, but had
no idea what the cause was"
The damage from the accident was
inflicted chiefly upon the locomotive
and the air brake equipment. The ex-
PLANTATION OF the accident generally &C.
cepted was that the bowlder was rolled
on to the track by boys. The force Of
the blow was shown by the pilot, which
was badly bent and twisted, one side
OF the heavy steel frame having been
Wrenched back more than a foot.
John McAuliffe, the engineer, said the
obstruction was struck as the train
was passing through a cut. The loco
motive had just roundd a curve so
that he did not see even a glimpse OF
the rock and his first intimation OF the
accident was the shock Of the impact.
The stone. or a fragment, tore a cash
in the hose carrying the compressed
air, releasing the air and automatical-
ly applying the brakes.

guarded the factories here besieged by
striking laborers that conditions were
comparatively quiet this morning.
Although clashes between the guards

fifty men returned to work.
y While the main body of strikers was
