Shirts And Paiamas Were Sent
FIying-No Injuries.

Shirts, collars, cuffs, pajamas, un-
derwear and many other articles of
mems apparel, wrapped in bundles,
were dumped near the traffic sign at
State and Smith streets about 8
o'clock this morning, when a Rar-
itan laundry wagon was overturned
while being backed out of the way
of trolley car. Fourteen year old
Cornelius Harms, OF 30 Gordon
street, driver of the wagon, escaped
injury by jumping from the vehicle
as 1t and the horse turned over In a
heap. The wagon was loaded with
bundles, and the weakness of the
wheels OF the vehicle caused the con-
veyor to turn over after the load
had shifted to one side.
The boy was driving the wagon
down State street and had started
across Smith, near the traffic sign,
when a car came past. He pulled
back the reins of the horse, and af-
ter the rear wheels had braced
themselves against the rails of the

vehicle were cut to the right as the
horse backed. AS the right fore
wheel was cut under the wagon, the

BIC GRENARD FOR
TRAIN WRECKERS
$1,000 On Heads For Men
Who DitChed Express.
oecidI by United Press Wire.


Cleveland, o., Dec. ia reward
of $1,000 was offered today by Lake
Shore railroad officials for the cap
ture of train wreckers who ditched
the fast New England express last
midnight one mile west of Wickliffe,
Ohio. Wrecking tools were found
near the scene and four men were
seen running from the wreck short
ly after it occurred.
1--WE found seventeen spikes had
been withdrawn and rail dis
placed" said General Superinten-
dent A. F. ingalls,, today.
Lake Shore officials advance the
theory that the wrecking was done
in the hope of killing A. H. Smith,
recently elected president of the
New York Central line. Smith. on
his way to New York, was in his pri-
vate car which did not leave the
track. Fireman S. F. Rhuback, of
Buffalo, was crushed to death be-
meath his engine, and Engineer Jo-
seph, of Cleveland, was badly hurt.
The train ran along on the ties for
about 100 yards. When the engine
went over on its side and with the
cars across another track TO the edge
of the ditch the two front cars were
with right angle with the tracks, but
the coupling with the remainder of
the train held, preventing 1T from
topping into thed itch.

ATTACkSSEAMAN
BEFORE MEETING
DisgracefuI Scene At Council
As Alderman Makes Charges.

Aldermen and others are today
talking about scene at the commit
tee meeting of the Board of Alder
men last night, which they claim
to be one of the most disgraceful In
the history of the city and one which
kept out all other business at the
session. 1t followed an adjourned
meeting of the council. The occa-
sion was beration by the fifth ward
representative on Aldermen F. A.
Seaman and William G. Wilson. He
assailed the second ward member in
such a manner that Mr.. Seaman, as
a gentleman, could not reply. The
latter bore IL for about five min
utes until the voice of his antago-
mist could be heard outside OF the
building, and then walked from the
building.
1t Is claimed that the fifth ward
member did not confine his accusa-
tions to one subject, but harped on
things In general, including the
boards action on the purchase OF
rubber boots for firehouse janitors,
the resurfacing of the principal
street intersection and "ducking"
meetings. He accused both Mr.. Will
son and Mr.. Seaman of playing
hockey" from meetings, it is said,
Mr.. Wilson stopped him quickly.
The first attack was made in the
presence of other aldermen, Mayor
Ferd Garretson, Alderman elect
John Kelly and City Surveyor Sam
uel ]. Mason. A second one, 1t Is
said, far more scatching than the
first, occurred after the mayor had
left the council chamber At each
sentence, it is declared, the alder
mans voice rose until the side door
of city hall was shut behind Mr..
Seaman.
AS the aldermen describe it, the
beginning came when the fifth ward
member tried In vain to start an ar
gument with members of the fire
committee concerning their state
ments to the NEWS on the holding
up the purchase of rubber boots. 1t
is declared he asked Mr.. Seaman
point blank If he had been quoted
correctly. Mr.. Seaman is purported
to have replied that there was other
business before the board and he
did not want to discuss that then.
Spectators declare the other alder
man then began an attack the like Of
which they declare has never been
heard before In city hall. The Incl
dent closed the meeting, the bust
ness for which the meeting was call
ed being entirely forgotten, 1t is
declared.
Mr.. Seaman said today that he
had no statement to make inaSmuch
as the attack was made at closed
session commonly known as COM
mittee meeting of the board.

In an eloquent Grafton at the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the new
Y. M. c. A. building yesterday af-
ternoon. Congressman Richmond
Pearson Hobson, of Alabama, hero
of the Spanish-A war, de-
clared that education would have to
be more broadcast, and that the
drinking of alcoholic liquors con-
quered before the world advance to
that near millennium. when every
man will contribute to the world, the
greatest efficiency. A crowd of
more than 500 heard the logic of
the congressman, which was sent
home to the auditors heart on
shafts of poetic oratory The speak
er was introduced by former Judge
Adrian Lyon, president of the local
Y. NJ. c. A., who presided at the ex-
ercises.
HObson a Y. NJ. C. A. Man.
Congressman Richmond P. Hob
son, who has been a member of the
Y. NJ. c. A. for tWenty-eight years,
on the outset of his speech eulogized
the splendid accomplishments made
by the institution in building up
character and stamina in the young
men. 1T has forged It's way to the
very front Of the modern institu-
tions for the uplift of humanity" he
said. The speaker declared that the
call of today is for enthusiasm and
endurance of young men, 'If We
had war today, the average age OF
the men who would do the lighting
/ in the Atlantic fleet would be less
| than twenty-one years" he sad He
pointed out the youthful average
age of those who did the fighting in
the Civil War, and declared that If
the young men we're the constructive
agents of the past, even much more
so they would have to be the con-
structive agents of the present"
Revolution of the Earth.
The congressman emphasized the
fact that there had come about a
revolution on the earth. that q
time had arrived when nature had
been conquered, man had learned to
fly, annihilate distance With steam,
electricity. etc. The speaker ex-
planned how fundamental changes
had followed, new adjustments be-
ing made In the relation between
men; how life had become more of a
unit, cooperative, intact, each indi-
vidual or set of individuals influence
ing the rest of humanity. Explain
ing his smile in comparing the earth
with a warm blooded creature,
in contradistinction to the cold
blooded creature, which he declared
existed previous to the present evo-
luton, the speaker said that what
is done for the welfare of any part
of the warm blooded creature is re-
lected in influence on the rest of
that fgurative being; that since
each part of the world Is so vitality
linked together under the new con-
ditions, that anything done for the
welfare of the part, uplifts the rest,
and anything done that Injuries a
part, Injuries the rest of the great
body of humanity.
