Yesterday morning they started to lay rails across that stream. ‘The east appronch and the | first span were crossed tafely. When the mid- die of the second span was reached the false work under the bridge collapsed and the track machine, together with two car loads of ties and timber and several cars loaded wich rails. fell to the river, sixty feet below.

His body was afterward found with a heavy Pail lying across his head and another across hie feet, holding him under water. The body of unfortunate man was horribly mangled. RESCUING THE BODIES. ANOTHER COLONIZATION STORY. Reports From New York Indicate That This City fe Being Rapidly Depopulated. Now the story has it that the bold, bad repub- ticans are at work colonizing the city of New York with colored men from the south, who | are warranted to walk up to the polls and drop | a straight Harrison ticket on November 8. | As usual, however, the story as given out in New York gives Washington the credit for farnishing the material for the colonization. Last week it was the wicked democrats who had chartered vestibule trains to carry the unlawful Yoter from here snd force him on the innocent | city known as New York. and if one-half the stories told by either side are true there are not more than six or possibly seven colored men left in the District of Columbia. They are all lin New York, and it is only their | ghosts that you see walking around the streets and pursuing ordinary occupations. According to the inst reports Supt. Byrnes | Th | has discovered that several hundred strangers have been injected into the new eighth assem- bly district of New York. | The strangers are said to have expressed dis- | gust at the condition of the Gothamatreets and one of Byrnes’ sleuth hounds immediately clapped his finger to his nose and said: “They are from Washington." The eighth district is said to unusual facilities for the purpose of colonization and | the police hare kept a close watch both on | neighborhood and the registration books. | AN UNUSUAL NUMBER coMIxG. | Inspector Byrnes refused tomake any specific statements on the subject yesterday. He ad- mitted that he had received information from Washington and Philadelphia that an unusual number of men had been coming to New York for a fortnight, and many of them were colored. The superintendent then continued in » strain which should curdle the blood of any wicked colonizer and cause every gentleman in this city who has a ticket to New York in his ¥ext pocket to keep it there by a very large majority. “They had better go back,” the superin- tendent added, with a grim smile. ‘That is, if they are here to do crooked work at the polls. It would thwart my ends, of course, if I told you just what I am doing. but I can assure you that attempts at colonization and false registra- tion never were watched so closely as they will be this time. complaints have been received from the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh assembly dis- tricta." They will be investiguted thoroughly and arrests will follow whenever evidence of frand is obtained, regardiess of politics. The | idea that I am devoting my attention only to republican colonizers is wrong. Democratic or | Fepublican, any one guilty ot false registration | will be arrested.” When Superintendent Byrnes smiles a “grim mile” it is well to stand from un- der. At both the democratic and re- publican headquarters in New York the [colonization story was accepted yesterday with alacrity, but the remarkable part of the affair ‘# that Chairman Harrity says it’ nd is an outrage on the part of the republicans, | while Chairman Carter says it's all true, and the democrats should be ashamed of them- selves. CARSON IN INDIANA. A Sram reporter today talked with some of | the republican leagers here as to the alleged colonization.

The accident was due to the undermining of the false work of the bridge by the water. That part of the road on which it occurred is still | under the control of the contractors and has not yet been accepted by the railroad com- ‘Ne intimation of the terrible catastrophe was given to the unfortunate men.

After the house of deputies had been called to order Rev. Dr. Randuljh McKim, rector uf the Church of the Epiphany, Waebington, arose and offered this resolutiot “Resolved, That the president of this house be requested to convey to the President of the United States, in such manner as he may deem most fitting, the expression of our sincere and | respectful sympathy in the bereavement which has darkened bis home and his heart.” ‘The resolution was received with murmurs of roval and adopted by a standing vote. resident Dix announced various commit- | tees. . Dr. Bliss of Vermont read ihe report of the committee on Christian ednention.

Dr. Nelson of Virginia offered a resolu- tion of thanks to Dr. Dix for his “abie and im- | partial manner” in presiding. Other dioceses seconded the resolution. P Dr. Dix made a warm and‘cordial speech, | complimenting bel ppm of the house, and | said he was proud of the office he held because | the character of the house was what it is.

The arrest was made on informa- tion furniehed by Louis New, a boy who was employed by Pattaschinck at the time, and who slept in » loft over the junk shop. ‘According to the boy the crime was com- mitted on the night of December 23 last.

Meeting of the World's Fair Board of Lady Managers. Curcaco, Oct. 25.—Such a lively scene is sel- dom presented in meetings of the gentler sex as that which took place at Inst evening's meeting of the world’s fair board of lady managers. Mrs. Matilda B. Carve, one of the most prominent women on the board, arose to make a few re- marke and began by saying: a, ithe’ ertom Thave i of paper, containing the names of 276,000 per- sone, which I will present to the national com- Mra. Care got and a babel” of deafening. Most of the fair parliamentarians sprang to their feet and confusion worse con- founded was the result. The board became di- ¥ided into two parts, one in sympathy with | Mrs. Carse, the other opposed to her petition. jese were some of the expressions heard above the feminine din: “Give her achance!” “Shut up!’ yh, how dare you?” “Aren't you ashamed of yourself?” “Why don’t somebody keep order?” “Call em toorder, Mine. Bresident.”” Poor Mrs. mest of North Carolina, who held the chair at the time, hardly knew what to do in this great emergency. She ham- mered frantically on the walnut table in front of her with her gavel, but she might just as well have beaten upon the air as far as the dele- | B=, were concerned. They either did not | it or did not heed it. And above all the confusion the voice of Mrs. Carse rose clear and scornful, as one who has # chip on the shonider that has not yet been knocked off. “Ladies,” said with extreme hauteur, “I didn’t intend to present this statement to your most honorable board. I merely arose to ask permission to be excused to present these names to the national commission.” ‘Then she marched out with her head erect, her whole bearing breathing dignity and de- fiance, and was seen no more during the after- noon. It was understood that the temperance ques- tion was tacked on to Mrs. Carse’s petition also and that the board had good and sufficient rea- sons for discussing neither Sunday closing nor prohibition. — BABY DOUGHTY’S CASE. Judge Barrett’s Orders—Testimony to Be Given Regarding the Alleged Agreement. New York, Oct. 25.—Baby Doughty was in court this morning before Justice Barrett. The child was in the arms of Mrs. Bradford, who was accompanied by her husband. Eleanor Doughty, the mother of the child, and her thother were also in attendance, Counsel for Miss Doughty presented a legal argument on the question of adoption and Jus- tice Barrett said he was aware of all that, but that this was not a question of adop- tion. The point to be determined was whether the child should be taken away and given to the mother. It was an ap- plication addressed to the discretion of the court. If the child had been with its present custodians fifteen years and they had become attached to itand the mother denied an oral ment under which possession was claimed mart would be bound, as in this case, to do | ¢ to the child and deal equitably with the | whole matter. ‘Miss Doughty's counsel denied that Mrs. Brad- | ford held the child under any agreement, and | the justice said testimony as to this issue could | be taken immeviately before J. J. Nedis, the court stenographer. AMERICAN CARRIAGE BUILDERS. The Twentieth Annual Convention Being bi Held at Buffalo, N. Y. Burrato, N. Y., Oct. 25.—The twentieth an- nual convention of the Carriage Builders’ Na- | tional Association of America began at Music Hall this morning and will continue three days. It is really four conventions in one, as the carriage dealers, carriage traveling men and | carriage hardware men will aleo hold meetings | during the period of the builders: convention. | The associations are all intimately related to each other, members of one belonging to one or more of the others in many cases. The | scope of the builders’ association is much wider than would naturally be suppo-ed, and em- braces such questions as the preservation and rehabilitation of forest lauds. the permanent improvement of common roads, the adjustinent of freight rater, the development of a system of technical training for carringe mechanics and a carriage display at the world s fair that will as- tonish the universe. About 600 delegates are inattendance, ‘The convention was called to order at 11 o'clock .his_ morning by President Frank H.

It was the expressed wish of the President to the members of the cabinet who callei this morning that the affairs of government be pro- ceeded with as usual, and, in deference to this request, the heads ‘of the several executive departments were at th w ‘bh members of the cabinct as can safely leave eir official duties will accompany the funeral party to Indianapolis in the capacity of hon- orary pallbearers.

He will probably not come to Washington. but | will go direct to Indianapolis, which city there is only a bare possibility of his reaching in time for the interment. ‘Mrs. Harrison's remains have been embalmed. | They will probably fie in the room in which she | died until the private services are held Thurs-| ¥- NO PLAT FLYINO. | The flagstaff on the building was bare this | morning. The familiar stars and stripes which waved over the President's house yesterday hhad becu lowered at sunset, furled and placed aside. ‘This morning the mbsence of the fiag was noticed. Mr. Halford explained that the President wus averse to having it placed at half-mast. So it was determined rather than have it tiving as usual to refrain from display- ing it at all until after tho body shall have been taken away from here, when it will again be aised. CREPE O€ THE DooR. The emblem of mourning was absent from the bell at the door of the White House until toward 11 o'clock, when the undertaker placed a plain black crepe knot and bow around it. A number o friends of the family called and left cards or notes of condolence, most of them for | the ladies of the househoid, Chief Justice Fuller of the United States Si Preme Court called about 11:20 o’cloek on his way to the court room toexpress his condolence and to learn the President's wishes in order that he might communicate them to his asso- cintes. He was shown into Private Secretary Halford’ room, but did not see the President. Senator Kenna of West Virginia also called and left aamessnge of sympathy. Lieut. Parker of the navy, the President's aid (and husband of Mrs, Harrison's niece), and Mr. MeKee, his son-in-law, were the only members of the family who were seen about the house. the rest remaining iu their apartments, Both Lieut. Parker and Mr, McKee were up ali night, and this morning they came to Mr. Hral- | ford’s assistance in making the necessaty fu- neral arrangements, About noon the President was consulted by Private Secretary Halford as to his wishes in reference to the messages of condolence. Though still averse to making them public he consented that a statement should be given | naming some of the more prominent persons who bad sent condolences, but was unwilling | that the text of their messages should be made public. “EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY.

THE MESSAGE FROM MR. BLAINE. The message from ex-Secretary Blaine and Mra. Bisine, who returned to Washington last might to the big red house within little more than @ stone's throw of the Executive Man- , is said to have been of a most comforting nature. A natural delicacy on the part of the President prevents the pub- | lication of this note, but its wording and senti- ment are said to be significant of earnest sym- pathy, such as would naturally be felt by those who have themselves late! passed through deep waters of afliction. ” THE PALL BEARERS. The pall bearers who will officiate at Indian- spolis have been selected. They are Dr. H. R. Allen, John B. Elam, Hugh Hanna, E. B. Mar- tindale, Gen. Lew Wallace of Crawfordsville. Hon. Wm. E. Niblack of Vincennes, Johu R. Elder and Theodore P. Haughey. The active pallbearers in this city will be the ttendants at the White House, whose sorrow over the death of Mrs. Harrison is sincere and deep. They have lost a friend, who took an active personal interest in the weifare of each. THE CASKET CHOSEX. About 1 o'clock Mr. Russell Harrison, Mr. McKee and Mr. Halford visited the ostablish- ment of Undertaker Speare and selected a casket. The one’ which was finally decided upon wns made of Spanish red cedar, covered with fine black broadcloth. The casket has a copper metallic inner case, hermetically sealed, and lined with cream tufted satin. The exterior of the casket has no ornamentation whatever, except the oxi- dized bar handles, which run its full length, and a solid silver ‘oxidized plate bearing this inscription: “Caroline Scott Harrison, wife of Benjamin Harrison, died October 25, 1892.” A view of the casket impresses one with its extreme simplicity and elegance. There is about it no trace of ostentation, and in all of these respects it is in full keeping with the life und character of her who will guake it her Inet ome. ‘The traveling case is also made of Spanish red cedar, bighly polished, with brase handles and corners. This is said to be one of the finest ever constructed. SECRETARY TRACY'S SYMPATHY. Probably no one outside of the President's immediate family sympathizes more keenly with Mr. Harrison than Secretary Tracy. ‘The death of Mrs. Harrison recalls more acutely to Gen. Tracy the realization of his own lose and sorrow and the memory of the tragedy that darkened his own life. On that gloomy February afternoon nearly | three years ago when the body of Mra. Tracy was carried into the Executive Mansion, there | to rest while awaiting interment, it was Benja- | min Harrison who went alone with his bereaved | friend into the darkened chamber and stood with him by the bier of his wife, giving him tpontancously the esmpathy of his own great eart. This morning, under the same roof, the two men again stood together by the wide of » de- | parted loved one, but this time it was Mr. Tracy's hand that gave the tender grasp. Mr. Tracy's heart that poured forth its sympathy. Gen. Tracy is visibly affected in spirit today and betrays constantly in look and word that which be carries in his heart, RECEIVED BY MRS.

He had « half hour's couversation with the President and found bim stronger and braver than he had expected.

The Death of Mrs. Harrison Will Have a Marked Effect on Social Events, The Vice President and Mrs. Morton and the | members of the cabinet and their wives being | the official family of the President will, it is understood, go in mourning and will therefore withdraw from all participation insocial eovgnts for one month. This custom obtains in for- eign countries upon the death of « queen. There seems no other way for them to publicly express their sense of personal loss and sym- pathy with the great grief which has come to the chief executive. When this subject was talked over today Mrs, Harrison's own conduct when the rd events of two winters ago brought desolation and sadness to the homes of two of the cabinet came quickly to the’ mind of every one. She did all that oficial honors could have suggested, but more than that, ber tender thought and con- sideration for each individual found manifesta- tion in every possible way. Her real grief and solicitude touched every one, and her part in assuaging the sorrows in tho families of Mr. Blaine, Secretary Tracy and the stricken household of Secretary Windom may always be referred to as a model of womanly kindness, The effect of the death of Mrs. Harrison on | had general society will be marked. Tt bas come at ‘ quiet season, but if it had been at any other period it would have been observed by similar expressions of respectful sympathy. pss. Aaa SYMPATHY OFFICIALLY EXPRESSED. ‘The Program That Will Probably Be Fol- lowed in This Land and Others. While the wife of the President is held strictly as a private individual, the death of Mra. Harrison will be attended with consid- erable of the formal notice that ordinwily ac- companies the death of a President, Inall foreign countries where we have rep resentatives the ministers of foreign affairs will at once call upon the heads of our legations and express their sovereign’s sympathy.

Mrs. Letitia Tyler, first wife of President Tyler, who was elected Vice President on the ‘ticket with Gen. succeeded -bim died in the White House on th 10th of tember, 1842. Dnring her brief tay in the Executive Mansion Mrs. Tyler was unable to discharge the duties of hos- tess, her place being taken Mrs. Robert Tyler, her son's wife, | and later by Mrs. Semple, her daughter. Her | funeral sermon was also preached by Dr. Haw- |ley and her body laid to rest the family burial ground, New Kent counts, Va. The third death was that of President Zach- ary Taylor.who entered the White House March 4, 1849. He lived only until July 9, 1850.

Frederick F. Dent, father of Mrs. U. 8. Gr who wasa member of the presidential from the time Gen. Grant entered the WI Houre, died tuere December 15, 1873. Funeral services were held in the east room, the sermon being preached by the Rev. 0. H. Tiffany, D.D. The last previous death within the porials of the Executive Mansion was the most dramatic ofall. It occured at the New Year reception held by President Arthur January 1. 1883, and threw a pall over the festivities of the oc- casion, which were at once brought to a close by the unbidden and unexpected entrance of the grim messenger. minister to the United States from Hawaii and dean of the diplomatic corps was at the head of his associ- ates, making his way to the President to present the members of the —le- when he was smitten with heart disease. Falling to the floor, he was hur- riedly borne into one of the parlors, but never recovered consciousness and expired before medical aid could reach him. SCENES OF SORROW. Besides these deaths the White House has been the theater of other scenes of sorrow and suffering. When President Garfield fell with the assassins bullet in bis back he was con- veyed to the room in which Mrs. Harrison's body now lies and remained there until carried forth to die at Elberon. Col. Ellsworth, the hero of the early war da: lay in state in the blue room on the morning of May 25, 1861, and funeral services were held there in the presence of one of the most distinguished gatherings ever assembled in that apartment. The services were conducted by Drs. Butler and Morsell and Chaplain Paine of the famous zouaves, and at their close the body of the dead soldier was transported to New York. . Another and more notable funeral held in the blue room was that of the victims of the explosion of the big gun on the Princeton,Com. Stockton’s «hip, near Alexandria, Febraary 28, 1844. These included Secretary Upshur and Gilmer and the Hon. David Gardner of New a York. President Tyler, then a widower, escaped the faie "of his _ secreta- ries by an interesting incident of a romantic character. He was devotedly at- tached at that time to the daughter of Mr. Gardner und was with a party in the cabin of the ship listening to the singing of iss Gardner. He turned to go on deck with the others, but she began another song and he remained in the companion way to listen. While he was there the explosion occurred and his associates were blown into eternity. On the 26th of June following Miss Gardner became mistress of the White House. Extremely sorrowful were the ceremonies which took place in the east room .on the occasion of the funeral Mise Tracy, wife and the their lives in the fire which destroyed the Secre- tary’s beautiful home on I street. The official family of the White House bas also known its griefs. Private Secretury Hal- ford lost his wife in April. 1891, and Executive Clerk Praden, one of the oldest employes, lost his in the following summer. Only a few daysago Mr. Cox, who has been telegraph operator for several years, was borne to his long home, a vietim of the same disease that this morning claimed Mrs, Harrison. aX A LAKE WITHIN A GLACIER. The Cause of the Alpine Disaster Which Overwhelmed a Part of St. Gervais, From the New York Sun. The geologists who have investigated the cause of the great dicaster which overwhelmed a part of St. Gervais, Switzerland, with ice and water from the lower part of the Bionasry gla- cier have solved the mystery. Up the side of the mountain, at the foot of the steep glacial wall whose lower part broke away, the explor- ers found in the ice an oval cavern about 130 feet in width and 75 feet in height. In the in- terior of the cavern was a corridor covered with = of adage into a tic basin with perpendicular walls of ice, Tong. 200 feet wide and 140 feet high. In this great cavity there had been an intragiacial lake Of whose existence no one had been aware. The condition of the walls proved that the cavity been fuil of water recently. ‘The existence of this great reservoir of un- frozen water inclused on all sides explains the nature of the immense avalanche it over- wheimed the valley below. The excessive heat of the days before the disaster had probably increased the quantity of water in the natural reservoir and greater pressure broke the front wall, cracking away lower part of the glacier, and permitting the immense volume of water to pour down the mountain into the val- ley below, carrving with it the broken foot of the glacier.

What Edward Everett Hale Has Derived From His Experience. From His Letter to the Boston Common wealth. For sightecers I will lay down two or three rules which have guided me more and more in my habits of traveling and for which I think there is good foundation: 1, If you will stay two or three days in one place you wiil get that sort of affection for it and knowledge of its interior 'ife, if one may remember it with pleasure. If, on the other hand, you should spend the same three days in going to three different places, you have, in Four anchor and pulling it up again, only the little trials which necessnrily belong to the first hours in an inn or a lodging house, and before these little annoyances are well over you have Fone on your way again, “My experience is that have very little recollection of any sort of places where I bave simply spenta night or a Part of a day,and that, for dlling up that great nd of exverience and memories the mainte- nance of which is the great object of traveling, it is always desirable to remain for a little while where you are well of, that you may be- come acquainted not simply with’ the circum- stances, but with the real character of what, in aceriain way, you may thus make a home. 2 Thold that no should travel with the mere idea of being amused. He has no right to person he meets there: “Come and amuse me; show me what there is which ix taining.” Wherever a man goes he should carry certain tastes of his own, should have certain objects which have interested him in life. and he should inquire with regard to those objects, as this ticular place may have an answer to give to inquiries. 3. And this I say with a good deal of hesita- tion, Iknow nothing in the mere crossing of the water which should change us all into critics of fine art, Iam always little amazed when I go by chance into a picture gallery in Paris, in Braseels or in Antwerp to find there some well- to-do Americans whom I never should by any accident have found in the academy at York or the art gallery in Boston. I cannot see why we should ail be compelled to see paintings in Europe, and in every city in Europe, when at home we do not consider the examination of paintings to be our principal and especial busi- ness. I like to see a good picture, 1 think, 98 much as anybody does.

To young travelers, again, I should say, avail yourselves of the local’ guide books. There is alw: deal of information in them which you cannot get hold of in Murray or Bac- deker or in the evclopmdia. In fact, the busi- ness of cyclopedias seems to be to reject ex- actly the points which an artist selects. as giv- ing the broken lights or the local color with which he has to do. | { coe A CURIOUS MINERAL, Flexible Sandstone Remarkable for the Metals in It.

But the pictures of the “Fleshpots of Egypt” conjured up by the foney often widely differ from the reality. Simplicity reigns at many courte, “Among all the European rulers,” sayse Ger- man exchange, “the table of the Emperor of Austria, although he himself is extremely tem- perate in eating and drinking, ix the richest and best served. King Humbert of Italy, bow- ever, might almost be called a vegetarian, ee he lives almost entirely upon fruit and vege- tables. He drinks only Bordeaux wine mixed with water. But the most temperate of ail earth's potentates is Pope Leo XIIl. Hie breakfast, which he is accustomed to eat after mass, consists of coffee and milk alone. At noon the aged raler of the church eats two eggs, a small piece of chicken, asa rule, and some fruit. He drinks at the eame time a glass of Bordeaux.
