Hondmaster’s Views. “When the party of twenty-six road- masters of the New York Central, system arrived at the scene early Monday morn- ing, and commenced a critical survey of Bee section of the embankment which had been either washed or blown out, one of the roadmasters, a man who had great experience in the use of dynamite, said that the excavation looked to him very much like the work of dynamite. .The tendency of dynamite is to blast downward rather than upward or outward, and one of the most expert track builders of the railroad says that a very light charge of dynamite would have cbdilapsed a section of track fully as extensive as the section in ques- tion. “The locometive was found in the river at least thirty feet south of the depres- sion in the track, which makes it seem reasonably certain that the engine leaped the ce before it started in its plunge into the mud bottom of the river. “It is known that the engineer had shut off his steam and applied the air brakes to the train before the crash came, and those circumstances lead the officials to believe that the engineer, Foyle, saw that something was wrong with the track in time to apply the brakes before he went into the river with his engine. Still, it is admitted that he would have instantly ap- plied the brakes the moment that he felt his engine sinking.” Previous Attempt at Wrecking. A gentleman who travels from Garrison's to New York every morning says that three weeks ago this same train, No. 46, had a narrow escape from being wrecked at a point about two miles south of the spot where it finally met its fate. A huge bould- er, weighing two tons, was discovered on the track just in time for the train to be stopped. “I made the remark that morning that I believed some one put that stone there, and I still think so,” said this gen:leman. “The boulder must have fallen from the top of the mountain, for it cleared the in- land track in its fall and landed squarely in the dewn track. It looks to me as if one bears a grudge against the rail company, but who it is I cannot say. nael Clare, the former section boss, subpoenaed to attend the coro- ner’s inquest tonight. The inquest will be held in the town hall. —— CHICAGO SOCIETY MARRIAGE. Daughter of Michael Cudahy Married to J. B. Casserly.

William Waugh lays Highwayman for Small Sum. There was a bold and daring “hold up” yesterday on the,commons in Southeast Washington. The highwayman was Will- jam Waugh, and his victim a little colored boy named William Wheeler. The crime was the result of an unconirol- lable desire on the part of Waugh to ap- propriate to his own use the munificent Milk has long been recognized the most fruitful sources of d in this connection an important dis has just been made by the h Stringent means will be adopted, it is un- derstood, to correet the evil developed Briefly he has found that some of the milk dealers in the city make it a practice to fill bottles previously used without first washing them. This is a direct violation of the regulations governing the handling and distribution of milk to consumers, the exact language of the regulation being: “Having delivered any such receptacle to a consumer, shall not again use the same for the reception, storage or delivery of milk or cream in any form until it has been, to his (dairyman’s) personal knowl- edge, thoroughly and properly cleaned after stch use.” It is the purpose of the authorities to bring all offenders to justice, and any one caught violating the regulation will be ar- rested. —————— It matters little what it is that you ¥ant—whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need. sum of seven cents, which Whecler reck- lessly displayed.

Bryan are said to have gone into executive session behind closed doors in St. Louis. When the meeting broke up none of them would talk. It is said that this caucus found Tammany’s enmity on the one hand and the probable loss of the popocratic sentiment on the other, and it was de- cided to keep hands off. ‘It is believed that Bryan will talk after election. George Doing Hard Work. All the factions are working hard, but the George personal campaign is really wonderful. For a man of his age it ap- pears that the harder he works the more territory he covers, the more speeches he makes, the stronger he seems to grow and the firmer becomes his conviction that he will win the mayoralty prize. Since the campaign opened he has been heard from Kingsbridge to the Battery, in various sections of Staten Island and at opposite points in Kings county. Besides this, he spends almost the entire day at his head- quarters in the Union Square Hotel, tak- ing part in the work of the committee and discussing with the members the details of the campaign. Tracy's H Gen. Tracy ha nith Improving. not been enjoying good health, and his personal campaign has Deen conducted under difficulties. He ts mending now and tonight will speak in Flushing. A large portion of the business men of the city have entered the campaign y with the same stne nd n that they joined in the fight Bryan last year. The daily meet- of the Comm Tracy Club are not onl. terest and lar meetings last ners have been way in almost tery there ored largely attended, but the in- sm are as great as simi- oy thusi: ear aroused. acy ban- stretched acr Broad- ry block from the to 1ith strect.

On Friday night Gen. 1 $ to speak at Prohibition Park, Staten land, and on Saturday night he is to w! up the campaign in Carne Hall. The final meeting on Saturday night is to be one of the biggest demonstrations of the campaign. The republicans are to turn out in force. Seth Low is continuing his canvass as previously outlined. Croker to Curb Harrison. Tammany is booming things as from the beginning. It is said that Croker has un- dertaken to curb Mayor Harrison of Chi- cago. Harrison will be Mr. Croker’s guest at the Murray Hill Hotel, where it is charged that the Tammany leader will tell the young man from the west what he must and must not say in his speech. The silence of Croker’s candidate for mayor remains un- broken. Justice Van Wyck is billed for a speech at every important Tammany meet- ing held anywhere in the consolidated city, but he speaks not, and it is said will ap- pear at none of the meetings. The Tam- Many candidate for mayor does not even show himself. He can be found only in a private room at his personal headquarters at the Bartholdi Hotel, and it is understood that Mr. Croker will not allow him to say @ word or to appear in public at any time during the campaign. The Daily Claims, As a fitting winding up of the day’s de- velopments suppose we look at the bul- letins cf the mayoralty battle, issued by the generals of the four armies. They are as follows: Tammany Hall—We are more than ever satisfied with the situation. Each day as we approach November 2 makes better the outlook for the enormous majority we will undoubtedly get, and I can confidently say that it now looks as though the statement I made that Robert A. Van Wyck, the democratic candidate, would receive more votes than all the other candidates will be verined. JOHN C. SHEEHAN. Citizens’ Union—All indications today are that our campaign is making even better progress than it made last week. The con- test is squarely between Low and Van Wyck. We have every reason to believe that Low will be elected, and that his plurality will surprise even his strongest supporters. I never read anything more interesting than the analysis of our elec- tion district enrollment. be ANSON G. McCOOK. Repvblican—General Tracy has won’ the election. The republican party is sfpport- ing him unitedly and harmoniously and is being reinforced with thousands of inde- pendent democrats, who know General Tracy is the cnly candidate who can win against Tammany Hall. The attempt of democratic newspapers to stampede the republican party simply amuses republi- cans. We shall vote our full strength, and it will te sufficiert. LEMUEL E. QUIGG. Jeffersonian democracy—The signs that George will win are increasing every day. For the confidence we have in his success I need only call attention to the Tammany meeting in the Windsor Theater, when «the audience scorned the tiger and declared emphatically for our candidate. All over the city we are showing strength in the places where Tammany felt certain of hav- ing things all to itself. E. LAWSON PURDY. COURSE OF THE BETTING. Many Offers, but Few Wagers Really Taken: New York Tribune of Today (Seth Low Organ). On the New York stock exchange yester- day H. 8. Sternberger bet $2,000 to $1,000 with W. K. Kitchen on Low against Tracy. He bet $350 to $1,000 that Low would win. He also offered $1,000 to $600 that Low would poll more votes than Tracy, but could not find a taker. : Henry Allen bet $500 to $1,000 that Van Wyck would not be elected. He offered to bet $2,500 additional against $5,000 that Van Wyck would be beaten, but there was no taker. Charles A. Watrous had a commission to bet $200 to $400 that Van Wyck would not be elected, but he could not execute it. He was also unable to place $2,000 on even terms on Low against ‘Tracy. ¥.. B. Tilghman offered $1,000 to $500 that Low would beat Tracy. ‘This offer was not taken. David Lapsiey made a similar offer. An offer by P. N. Sproule of $150 to $50 that Low would not be elected was taken three times, as was an offer of $100 even that Low would not carry Kings county. F. H, Brooks of No. 7 Wall street made a bet yesterday afternoon with another Wall street broker of $1,200 to $2,000 that Seth Low will be elected the first. mayor of the Greater New York. {Around the hotels various bets are talked of, but when run down they are found to be my It was rumored yesterday that a member of the Citizens’ Union would bet {to 5 that Low would have more votes than Tracy. Congressman Odell, chairman of thc executive committee of the republi- can state committee, thought the matter over, for a long time and then announced he wold take the bet, but by that time the bettor was gone. It is safe to say that less than one out of ten wagers reported actually take place. Mr. Odell said, in speaking of the matte! his is a hard election to gauge, and every Man can find an argument for his candidate, I am just as sincere in believ. ing Gen. Tracy will have more votes than Mr. Low I'can be, and yet here I find men earnestly believing that Low will be elected; others cock-sure of George, and others contentediy counting on Van Wyck. Mr. Low is out of it, I am Positive.” THE PUBLIC HEALTH. Report Made for the Week Ending October 23. The mortality in the District during the Past week was 91, as against 89 in the week before.

A thorough test of the apparatus for the transportation;of books from the new library of Congress to the Capitol for the use of the senators und representatives will be made at the library this afternoon, un- der the supervision of thé superintendent of the building.

Army Veteran Insane. Timothy Neary, who has, served three enlistrents in the United States army, and was discharged in May, was arrested near Louisiana avenue and Gth street yesterday by Policeman Sullivan, who found him un- der the influence of liqzor. When he had apparently recovered from the effects of the liquor in which he had indulged, his peculiar conduct excited the suspicion of the officers, and they had him examined as to his sanity. Dr. Nevitt, who made the investigation, found that his mind was affected, and he will be sent over to the asylum for i x DINED AND WINED Reception and Banquet in Honor of Karl Decker. ae HIS BRAVE RESCUE OF MISS CISNERO Addresses of Congratulation and Felicitation the Order. LIST OF THE GUESTS The hero of the day was dined, wined and toasted last night. Karl Decker, who, hike a knight of old, dashed into Havana, broke the iren bars which confined in a prison cell u beautiful Cuban girl and patriot, and made it possible for the captive to reach the free soil of America, was taken in hand by his friends. Every one of Karl Decker’s hosts knew him well; with a few exceptions all of the one hundred who sat down to tabie with him had been nis close friends for years. They were his comrades in the field of newspaperdom, had worked by his side in friendly rivalry, and with him had enjoyed boon companionship in times of recreation. They knew him as a Plain, modest man; admired him as a true friend. The Banyuet Hall. The beautiful banquet hall of the Raleigh and the reception hall leading to it were never more lovely than when prepared for the reception and entertainment of Karl Decker last night. The tropical beauty of the fair island which was the scene of heroic action by a Washington newspaper man was in evidence everywhere. Grace- Karl Decker. ful palms cf many varieties transformed the reception room into a tropical grove, amid ,which, during the early part of the evening, stood Karl Decker, who was deluged by his friends with congratula- tions. Within the banquet hall there was a blaze of light, toned down by massed verdure on walls and tables. The hand- somely frescoed walls were almost hidden by a covering of smilax, ivy and other vines. Banked everywhere were evergreens, and on the table were great bunches of rare chrysanthemums and American beauty roses. About Karl Decker’s plate there was a mat of choice orchids. A Cuban Emblem. Frem the wall in the center of the room and shining brightly over this scene cf beauty was an emblem in electric lights, specially designed for the occasion. Its most prominent feature was a radiant star glowing with the colors of the Cuban patriots—the star of Cuban independence. Above this shining orb wer2 the words “Cuba Libre,” made of colored electric lights, while formed in the same manner and overtopping the emblem of freedom was a great American shield between the draping of the American and Cuban flag: the whole topped by a golden eagle with outspread wings. Abeut one hundred banqueters sat down shortly after 9 o'clock, and for two hours discussed a menu. conspicuous for its ar- ray of choice viands. and in artistic lines as well. In one course the dishes were served in a form to represent the Cuban flag. Rare wines addcd to the flow of wit and good cheer. If there had been a doubt in the mind of any one about the purpose of the gath- ering and feast it was dissipated wh the toa re reached. It became evi- dent that Karl Decker, the newspaper the unassuming hero of a chivalrous en terprise, was the central and almost only figure of the occasion, yet the wife, who had waited silently at nome while her hus- band was rushing in the face of fate, was kept uppermost in the minds of the queters by the many references to her. most delicate compliment was paid he when her health was proposed and drunk standing. It was suggested also that every one of the assemblage should select the choicest flower near them to form a bou- quet for Mrs. Decker, and a mass of bloom Was soon gathered and dispatched to her home.

As the banqueters took their places at the tables a flash-light photograph was taken of the scene. A band staticned in an adjoining corrider discoursed music while dinner was being served. ‘When the end of the menu was reached, ard coffee and cigars were brought on, Mr. McSween introduced Mr. H.

The toastmaster announced that Mr. Decker’s time had come to say someihing, whereupon the young newspaper man was given an ovation. He spoke only a few words, however, expressing his great preciation of the oceasion that had brought them all together. When Mr. Decker arose to express his thanks for the reception tendered him it was after 12 o'clock, just twenty days after the hour when, in his rented house rear the jail which inclosed Miss Cisneros, he had gone out on the roof to take a reconroissance of the situation, and to see the handkerchief of the pris- oner suspendeo at her window as a signal that all was ready for action. Mr. Merritt was quite happy in all his references to the speakers, though he was $9 severe on some of them as to gain the name of “roast master.” Mr. A. A. Lipscomb, @ strong Cuban sym- pathizer, spoke eloquently. He regarded Karl Decker as a hero, beside whom the knights of Sir Walter Scott were mere chrls. Frank H. Hosford was particularly happy in his remarks. He spoke especially of Karl Decker's personality as known to his most intimate friends. Mr. Edward Moseley, secretary of the in- terstate commerce commission, who was in Cuba during the ten years’ war, spoke of the risk and danger involved in such an as- signment us that given to Mr. Decker by his paper. He hoped there would not be delay in the administration's action favor- able to the Cubans.

In his annual report to the adjutant gen- eral of the army, Maj. Gen. Merritt, com- manding the Department of the East, at New York, says that the discipline and instruction of the men and officers is fully up to the highest standard in the army. He is convinced that an increase of the artillery arm is of the greatest necessity to the service. A modification of the ar- tillery will, in his opinion, soon be neces sary, in order that the batteries may have time for instruction in the management and care of the great guns which are es- tablished on the seacoast. | Liebig Company’s 3 The Best is the most economical, be- cause it dissolves perfectly without sediment, because it is pure, without added salt or adulterations, because it is the most condensed.
