May 90.—Word has reached this city of a terrible acci- dent, which occurred last Wednesday on the Spanish River, by which thirty-three men lost their lives, The names of the men are unknown, ‘They were lumbermen. ‘They had encamped for the night on a erlb of square timber moored to shore near the head of tho rapida, which at this point are very precipitous and rocky. All had gone to sleep, without leaving & watchman to guard the crib, Somehow during the night the crib broke loose from its moorings and car- ried its cargo of sleeping men, unmind- ful of thetr fate, into the surging waters below. The crib was broken to pieces on the rocks and not a man escaped alive to tell the tale. Tho Spanish River flows into the north channel of ake Huron at a point north of Manitoulin Jaland. Near its méuth is a small hamlet of perhaps one hundred inhabitants, situated on the Soo branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The entire country roundabout is a lum- bering district.

In this reapect the new Commissioners differ ffm those who have gone before them. Indeed, this is the first holiday in the recollection of the old-timers of the Department that one or more of the Commissioners, or their representatives, did not show up and at least pretend to be busy, On this day, with the exception of the Acting Chief's office, the Information Bureau, Telegraph OMice, Detective Bu- reau and — Inspecters' offic every branch of the Department was closed. ‘The busy man was Acting Chief Col lin, He reached hin office before 8 o'ciock, and was hard at work all the morning detailing ofMcera for the pa- rade, and other important business. He found time to send fifteen low-grade detectives from the Detective Bureau out into the precinets and assign them to, patrol duty. The Commissioners have already be- gun'to admire the suave and. business: lke manner of Conlin, and as a man of clean recor] and extensive experience, he is strongly recommended to their favor for permanent Chief.

He admits that he was driving up and down Fifty-sixth street In front of Mr. Knapp's house, which is only a few doors from Mr. Borden's, and it would have been very possible for the two men to have entered the latter's house without his observing them, It Is only a few steps from Fifth avenue, and ts back must have been turned towards the corner part of the time {t would have been the easiest thing in the world for the two men, who were watching for a chance to get into the areaway of Mr. Borden's hquse unobserved, to run down from the corner and enter while he was driving his horses in the opposite direc- tion, Besides the rain was pouring in tor- rents at the time, which would un- doubtedly have distracted his attention from what was going on In the street behind his back, even if he had had occasion to be watchful, Smith's story of the tall man and the short, bandy-legged stout man, whom he says he saw running down the street, 1s also regarded with incredulity, and even this description, moiger as it 1s, may have been only an afterthought on his part, It has certainly not any valuable clue to the identity of Harris's murder- ers, ‘The police believe that Katle Mur- phy's story is substantially true, while they admit that the woman may have been so overcome with terror after the first shot was fired In the hallway, that she could not give a clear description of what occurred, ae eee SAYS SHE IS “DOT” SONWELL. ‘The Allewed Snake ¢ Policemen a Lively Tu Lottie Clymer, who sald she was “Dot Sonw a dime museum snake-charm- r, was sent from 908 West Twenty- seventh street to the New York Hos- pital, suffering with hysteria, At the hospital it was said the woman was suffering not only with hysteria but with a contusion of the head and abdo- men.
