ROGERS, THE MOTORMAN, IS HELD His Story of Saturday Night's Terrible Wreck. AN UNACCOUNTABLE AFFAIR ——— CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 15.-The life-saving and fireboat crews resumed work early this morning in the endeavor to re- cover additional bodies of the victims of Saturday night's terrible street car dis- aster at the draw bridge of the Central viaduct. Shortly after 10 o’clock the body of a woman was brought to the surface of the river and was later identified as that of Miss Martha Sauernheimer. She was a sister-in-law of Mrs. John A. Sauernheimer, whose body was recovered Saturday night. It is believed that there are at least one or two bodies still in the river, and the drag- ging of the water will be continued. Rogers, the motorman, who jumped from the car and thus saved his life, was held without bail in the police court this morning for two weeks, during which time a thorough investigation will be made into the affair. The coroner’s inquest will be begun to- morrow morning. Nineteen people were killed in the plunge of a trolley car through the Central Viaduct at Cleveland, Ohio, Saturday night. Fifteen bodies have been recovered and identitied. ‘The bodies of four more who are missing were believed last night to be in the river The Central Viaduct Is a huge stilt bridge 3,000 feet long, made of iron. It connects the Heights and the prosperous residence section on the south side with the business center of the city. Directly over the river is a draw bridge of the pivot swinging pat- tern, and this is 101 feet above the surface of the water. The Motorman’s Account. August Rogers, the motorman on the car, was arrested late at night at his home, and was held in $5,000 bail to await the result of the coroner's inquest. When taken into custody he insisted that the conductor had given him the proper signal to go ahead. He told this story at the Central police station: “It was my second trip,” he began. “Just after leaving the market house I looked into the car and from what I can remember there were about twenty or twenty-five passen- gers. They were mostly women and chil- dren, I think. When my motor reached the switch at the approach of the draw in the viaduct I shut off my current and applied the brake. The car came to a full stop and the conductor ran ahead and threw the switch. He motioned me ahead with a wave of his arm. I put my lever at the first notch, and as I passed the conductor, who always stands at the switch lever until the car has passed, the car was running at the rate of Possibly four miles an hour, I looked back, as I always do, and saw him get on the rear platform. Looking ahead, I thought I saw the gates at the draw closed over the track, but a3 my lights were burning and I had a current the thought occurred to me that my eyes must have béen at fault. “I was just in the act of giving, and pos- sibly ga) the lever a slight push forward, when I was startled by the sight of the gates just In front of me, and I heard some one yell ‘Jump.’ I don’t know whether I reversed the current or not, for I realized the danger and leaped from the vestibule. As I leaped I thought I would plunge headlong down and into the river, but as the car struck the gate I fell on it and caught the iron frame and saved myself. The car went down with an awful crash, but I never heard a murmur or anything that resembled a scream.” Here Rogers buried his face in his hands and cried: “My God! it’s an awful thing.” His wife, who stood by his side, consoled kim by saying: ‘Certainly it was no fault of yours.” “Ne he repliéd, “‘but think of it! Oh, my God! Just think of it.” Rogers then buried his head deeper in his hands and be- gan to sob, moaning: “It's too bad, too bad.’ When he had recovered himself somewhat Rogers continued: “When I was freed from the iron gate I scarcely knew what to do. I was dazed. I finally concluded to run back to the market house and tell the police. I did this, and then ran back to the scene of the accident. I hurried down the embank- ment and began to pull bodies out from the wreck. I worked there for fully an hour, maybe an hour and a half. Then I grew sick and went home. An Unprecedented Occurrence. “When you first saw the gates of the draw, were your lights burning and did you have a current?” “I did have current and my lights were burning. That is the reason why I thought of no danger. When the draw is open the lights usually go out, but it was not the case at the time of the accident, as I can swear. As I told you, I was surprised when I saw the gates and knew that I had both lights and current, which has never been the case before when the gates have been closed, as the swinging of the bridge cuts off the cur- rent, and of course when this is done the lights go out.” “How do you account for the strange fact?” “I cannot account for It, but I swear that !t was so. I have never had an ac- cident of any kind, until this one, and I be- lieve this will kill me.” The Bridge Captain’s Story. Bridge Captain Charles Brenner said: “I was on duty at the time. It was about 7:20 o'clock, when a boat coming up the river whistled for the draw bridge. I then gave the signals to Engineer Patterson and the gate guards, I shut both gates at the north approach myself, ran up the red light on the pole and hung the red lanterns on the gates. These red lights signify that the draw is open. Then I gave the engineer the ignal to draw the wedge and also gave the signal of one bell, which was the order to wing the bridge. The bridge had swung ar around and the boat had approached almost under It, when I was dumfounded to see a large car approaching and only about forty feet away. I cried out with all a No notes No interest. Loaded with i my might, ‘Stop, stop; for God’s sake stop that ca. The motorman was endeavoring to stop the car, but it seemed that his ef- forts were of no use, for the car came steadily on and crashed into the iron gates, which gave way, and In a second the car had gone over the precipice. Just as the car struck the gates the frightened motor- ian jumped and fell on the bridge. CREDIT! Is free—we'll arrange the pay- ments to please you—weekly or monthly.

EL evel n016-8d “As soon as the car went over I leaned over the bridge and cried to the men on the tug and vessel passing through under the bridge to notify the police and ambulances of the awful accident when they went up the river. I saw the motorman about ten minutes after the accident, but he disap- peared shortly afterwards. No blame can be attached to those in charge of the bridge. The accident is entirely the fault of the crew of the motor car. Drageing the River. The divers succeeded last evening in fastening a chain to the trucks of the motor, and they were raised from the river, The bed of the stream was then dragged, but no more bodies were found. It 1s thought that they have floated down the river, The search was given up and all the wreckage removed from the scene of the aceldent. Arrangements have been made for the funerals of the victims, nearly all of which will occur tomorrow. Yesterday morning the regular services at Pilgrim Congrega- tional Church, the largest in that section of the city, were abandoned, and the ser- mon and remarks of the pastor were de- vo! to the calamity. In the afternoon a largely attended meeting of the citizens was held at the same church, at which resolutions were adopted expressing sym- pathy with the families of the victims and calling upon the city council to take im- mediate steps to guard against accidents on all the city bridges.

James Bowens, a young colored man, who assaulted Miss Lillie Long, aged about twenty-one years, at the home of Hamilton Geisbert, about one mile south of Freder- ick, M@., at 5:30 o'clock Saturday after- noon, was taken from the county jail at 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning by a mob of about four hundred men, and was hanged to a tree in a field on the Jefferson turn- pike, about one-half mile from Frederick. The tree upon which he was hanged was nearly opposite the spot where “Bigus” was lynched in 1887. ‘A report reached Frederick at 11:30 o'clock Saturday night that the young lady had died from the effects of the beating and cuts the negro had administered. While this report was not true, it maddened the men, who were already in a high state of excitement. Several mobs were quickly or- ganized, but they had no leader. After some delay a member of the mob stepped forward and assumed the leadership. Un- masked, but armed with revolvers and knives, the mob marched upon the jail, arriving there about 12:45 a.m. Wounded the Prisoner. It required about thirty minutes to effect an entrance into the jail. When the door was broken open the crowd rushed into the corridor, quickly overcoming the resistance which was offered by the deputies to pro- tect their prisoner, and, passing through the engine room, proceeded to the first cell on the ground floor, where Bowens was found in a corner, cowering and crying and pleading for mercy. Several blows of the sledge soon severed the lock from Its fast- enings, not, however, before one of the mob fired four shots at the prisoner, one of which took effect in his leg, producing a flesh wound only. In an adjoining cell were Robinson, col- ored, who recently attempted an assault upon a colored girl in Urbana, and young Crutchley, a white man of Brunswick, who is charged with assault upon two white girls, aged twelve and sixteen. Both men thought the mob was after them, and they screamed and cried piteously for protec- tion, but, fortunately for them, the crimes for which they were incarcerated were not known to the mob, or they might have shared a fate similar to that ef Bowens, as the mob was aroused to a high state of ex- citement. Arriving at the tree which had been se- lected as the scene of the execution, the negro was asked to confess, and not to die with a lie upon his ps, but he made no re- ply. a Much to the surprise of the lynchers, two Salvation Army then” appeared upon the scene and requested to be allowed to pray. with the doomed mani» This was granted. Prisoner and! Lytchers Prayed. The Lord's prayer Was then recited, and the negro and thp lyhchers joined in re- peating it. Bowens’ bands and feet were then tied and the rppe:tightened around his neck. The other end was then thrown over the limb of the large tree and the com- mand given, “Let hint go.” In an instant he was jerked off his feet and was dang- Mng about five feet’ Inthe air. He uttered a few groans, when one shot was fired. It took effect in his’ temple. Then he was motionless, t After the lynchidg a@ member of the mob made a brief speech, In which he sald: “It is not with a spirlt‘of malice toward this unfortunate wretch or his race that we are here’ tonight, but it is to teach men of his class that they must let the white women of Frederick county alone or suffer the con- Sequences, of which this 1s an example.” After greeting their leader, the mob, among whom were a number of farmers, quietly dispersed and repaired to their homes. ——— CHARGED WITH MURDER, A Wife Accused of Poisoning Her Husband. A tragedy near Whitney Point, twent: one miles north of Binghamton, N, Y., has caused intense excitement in that village. Fillmore Thurston died at his home, in the town of Barker, Friday morning, with every symptom of arsenical and strychnine poisoning. His wife, Eliza, was arrested a few hours later charged with murder in the first degree. She was taken to Bingham- ton and lodged tn jail. - Mrs. Thurston went to Whitney Point on October 30 and purchased arsenic, which she said she wanted for killing mice. Her husband was taken ill about this time and gradually he grew worse, Mrs. Thurston again visited Whitney Point about a week ago. She said the arsenic did not do the work, and this time she bought strychnine. A physician was called to attend Mr. Thurston the next Sunday night. The in- valid’s symptoms aroused the doctor's sus- picions, and a consultation of physicians was held. Mrs. Thurston, in telling of his condition, fave an accurate diagnosis of a case of strychnine poisoning, and District Attorney Painter advised that Mrs. Thurston be ar- rested on a charge of attempting murder. A warrant was issued, and a constable started for Thurston's house. On his way there he was informed that Thurston was dead. He returned to Whitney Point, where District Attorney Painter made out papers charging the woman with murder, and she was arrested. Mrs. Thurston tells several contradictory stories regarding the use she made of the poison. She is about forty years old, and has always resided in the vicinity. The Thurstons had no children and very little property. Neither of them received much education. Mrs. Thurston fs a frail woman, and not strong minded. The Thurstons did not live happily together and quarreled frequently. ——_ _—+e+- RUSH FOR THE NEZ PERCES LANDS. | It is Estimated That at Least 6,000 Persons Are Gathered Waiting. The rush to the Nez Perces reservation is proving even greater than was expected. From and through Spokane by every road leading to the garden spot are long trains of “prairie schoonegs’,and every imagina- ble description of vehicle, carrying loads of home seekers. It was estimated last night that when the opening gun was fired today at noon at least 6,000" people would begin the wild scramble for choice locations. The demand for lumber fias cleaned out the local dealers, and it {s‘now being shipped to the points nearest’ the’ reservation, By to- night it is estimated that 2,000 homes will have been erected en the promised land. The Nez Perces teservation is in Idaho. ‘The unallotted lands, for which a scramble takes place today, comprise about 546,000 acres. They were acquired from the In- dians by the national government under a recent treaty, and, were opened to settle- ment by a formal proclamation issued from the White House on November 11.

A NEW BUILDING WANTED The annual report of the Secretary of Agriculture was made public this morning. Secretary Morton,.in reviewing the opera- tions of the department for the year, finds gratification In the successful operation of every branch. He derives especial satisfac- tion in calling attention to the saving in ex- Penditures which has been effected. Upon this subject Secretary Morton says: “Out of the $5,102,523.06 appropriated to the United States Department of Agricul- ture during the two fiscal years 1894 and 1895, $1,126,268.74 have been saved to cover back into the treasury. Then add to that saved sum the one hundred and eighty-five thousand four hundred and ninety-seven dollars and sixty-four cents ($185,497.64) re- turned to the treasury out of the 1893 appro- priation, and we find that, with an unim- paired and extended and disciplined service in this department, the aggregate sum of one million three hundred and eleven thou- sand seven hundred and sixty-six dollars and thirty-eight cents ($1,311,766.38) is avail- able for return to the treasury since March 4, 1893."" Road Imprevement. In reference to the subject of road im- provement, coming under the supervision of the road inquiry office, Secretary Morton says: “The work of this office, under Gen. Roy Stone, chief of road inquiry, has proceeded | steadily during the year, in accordance with the provisions of the act making the appro- priation, and has included investigations in regard to the best methods of road making, road legislation, and especially the condition of the country roads of the United States. Improved road construction is progressing in many of the states, notably in Massachu- setts, New Jersey, North Carolina and Ken- tucky. More than half the states have pass- ed new road laws within the last year, and there is a general effort to ascertain the best methods for developing the country roads, for using the county prisoners or state con- victs for this purpose, and for organizing state commissions to look after these mat- ters.”” Farm Products and Bad Roads. “Special attention 1s called to the results of the inquiry made by this office Into the cost of hauling farm products to market, compiled from data received from 1,160 counties, contained in the i1eport of the special agent in charge, accompanying this document. The facts cited slow lucid- ly the great expenscs entailed by vad roads, and the great value of good ones, and should do much to awaken the farmers of this country to the importance of this sub- ject. The office is also compiling a national map, on a large scale, to show all the mac- adamized and gravel roads in the United States. Upon this map new roads are laid down as fast as they are built and reported to this office by the county clerks or sur- veyors. Such a map will, when finished, be of great value. The maps of Pennsylvania, Indiana and New Jersey are already suffi- ciently advanced to p:es:nt most int. facts, and those of other states z gressing. Public Interest in the Subject. ‘The office has published directions for building improved roads, compilation of read laws, information regarding road ma- terial and transportation rates for the same, the proceedings of road conventions, and much other useful information for free distribution among the people. It is pro- posed during the coming year to secure the co-op2ration of agricultural collezes and ex- periment stations in the ooject-lesson meth- od of disseminating this information. They will be taught to construct mod2l roads on the farms of their experiment stations or on their college grounds, where they can be regularly used, and thus become a lesson to all the farmers who visit them. Public interest in the whole subject of road im- provement has become thoroughly aroused, and a feeling of great hopefulness l:as been developed. The usefulness of a central gcod-roads propaganda such as this office affords has been amply illustrated.” Quarters for the Weather Bureau. The question of providing house accom- modations for the department is treated by Secretary Morton as follows: “It is sug- gested that the weather bureau could be furnished with commodious offices and epartments in the top story of the new post office building in the city of Wash- ington, and upon the roof of the same edifice the exposure of all the instruments used in taking meteorological observations could be advantageously made, while a small part of the basement of the same building, set apart for the printing office and presses whence the daily weather maps are issued, would complete a most desirable domicile for that bureau. Such a transfer having been made from its pres- ent location, the weather bureau buildings and grounds at the corner of 24th and M streets, in the city of Washington, could Le converted into cash and would bring something like $200,000 or $300,000. ‘This sum, added to the $1,200,000 which has been saved and covered into the treasury from appropriations for the Department of Agri- culture for the fiscal years 1893, 1894 and 1895, makes $1,500,000, which, invested in a building constructed purposely for the Department of Agriculture, would afford in compact form sufficient accommodations for every one of the divisions and bureaus and bring them in daily communication with each other. Under the present system of renting (rents now amouuting for this department to $3,920 a year) the expenses are increasing, and the necessity of hav- ing all the divisions and bureaus, especially those of a scientific character, brought to- gether, is becoming more and more ob- vious. In view of these facts, if the De- partment of Agriculture is to be domiciled, as every other department fs, in a building proportioned to the value and magnitude of the interests which it conserves, it is suggested that an appropriation for the construction of an edifice for the Depart- ment of Agriculture must be made in the very near future.” Pancake Fiour.
