———— RODE 0 THEIR DEATHS Tragedy at a Masked Crossing On Staten Island. Four Persons Swift Train, Crook's Crossing, near Giffords station, Staten Island, N. Y,, fulfilled its destiny a fow days ago and hurled three souls into eternity, while sending a fourth one to the very gate of death, ; The notorious old railroad crossing, masked by dense woods and parsimoniously unguarded, where more than once there has been a hair raising escape from manslaugh- ter, missed the escape at last, and a woman, in the bloom of daughter and her brother, down by the iron horse rightful for description, list of victims: Andrew Brandner, aged fourteen, of Eras. tina, 8. I, employed asa fish and clam ped- ler by John Jones. Fatally injured intern- ally Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards, aged twenty- seven, of Giffords, wife of Captain Jake Edwards, of the oyster sloop Trusty, of Great Kills, Skull crushed: died within twenty minutes, Blauthe Edwards, infant child of ter. Skull crushed; died within one and one-haif hours. John Jones, aged twenty four, of Erastina, flsh and oyster pedler, brother of Mrs. Edwards. Top of head crushed in; killed instantly. The above named party was riding in Jones's covered butcher wagon on their way to Giffords at ten minutes past eight. They were on the Amboy road, the chief highway upon Staten Island, and had come from rastina, where Mra. Edwards and her child had been visiting her brother. As they neared the railroad track they looked out for the locomotive, but neither saw nor heard any sign of one. The crossing is notorious. The highway passes over the railroad tracks at an acute angle, and between the two, up- on the easterly side, the angle is filled in with a dense grove of trees. The railroad itself curves sharply just beyond the cross ing and the only possible warning for a team bound south is the whistle ordered by a signal post three hundred yards up the track, As the wagon approached the crossing, train No, 1, with engineer Jacob Kougle in the cab and Conductor John Sullivan in charge, was dashing around the curve at a forty mile pace. Engineer Kougle says that he whistled four times. Residents in the vicinity say that they doubt it, as son the engineers are very slovenly abou tling. The signal if any was given, was certainly not heard by John Jones, the dri ver, for the old horse trotted down the track Just as the engine was upon it With a tremendous crash the horse striick the butcher wagon and the sharp pilot went through it iike a giant cleaver. Showers of splinters fell off to left and night. and with them the boy, Mra Edwards and ber babs; but they had been borne 30 feet from the crossing be fore they landed — young Brandner on his back and the woman on her face Jones still lay upon the pilot when the train was brought to a staf¥istill, a thousand feet down the track, The whole top of his head was crushed in and his body was terribly mangled. There was nothing to do hut bundle his mangled clay in his own horse blanket aud await the coming of the cor- oner. Mrs, Edwards and ber baby were bota un- conscious. There were marks upon the left side of the head of each, which showed the nature of their injuries The woman breathed her last on the level ballast of the roadway. Then the suffering babe and boy, the latter of whom had reta ned conciousness long enough to give his name, were tenderly picked up and taken to the Baldwin House, where the former soon ceased to suffer. The boy was taken to the Smith Infirmary on a train, while Coroner Martin Hughes transferred the three bodies to bis undertaking establishment at Clifton, The railroad company made haste to ob. literate the visible signs of the disaster, but the tracks were strewn with splinters from the wagon for many a yard The largest fragments left of the wrecked vehicle were the tires of the broken wheels, Strange to say, although the wagon was turned to matchwood the horse which drew it was uninjured. One shoe was torn from fits hind feet, but the horse trotted uncon. cernedly into the big farm of Mr. Crook, after whom the crossing is named, who onasily made him prisoneg The thills had been cut off as if by a knife Mrs. Edwards, the slaughtered wife and mother, was a handsome woman, the niece of old Captain Tom Calm, one of the best known residents of the Great Kills.

He bad bis clothes packed and was | preparing to leave town, Ostrander was arrested about two weeks before for emberziing $75,000, and was un- der bonds of $20,000, His bondsmen turned him over to Bheriff Dill and he was also | locked up, When Ostrander was arrested | there was a run on the bank for three day but the other banks came to itd rescue an the trustees made a statement, showing that there was a surplus of $347 000 The feeling against the trustees who signed the statement is bitter in the extreme, and Parker, Bharpe and the others are charac- terized as theives for making the depositors believe the bank was solvent whon they should have known its condition, In fact, the town went wild, Through the streets to the bank rushed hundreds of ex. cited men and women, Within half an hour from the time the notice on the doors had been read by the first early risers, there was a great surging crowd in front of the bank. Men rushed about hatless and with faces inflamed with passion, wildly gesticulating and shaking their clinched fists at the closed doors, Women stood among them, tears streaming down thelr faces, adding their beartrending cries to the nolsy lamentations, Gray old men, beat with age, hobbled through the streets to find if the dreadful news was as bad as reported, and fell pant ing and exhausted upon the curbstones Widows, whom every dollar was entrusted § to the bank, read the notice and swooned, the row Then, as the crowd grew thicker and clamor becams more olent, men th themselves against the barred doors and tempted to batter th If they could only get inside an sol the vaults 1 could easily get their deg they thought, but just as they had gathered strength suf. ficient to make 8 combined assault, Chief Hood and a detail of police charged upon the throng and drove the enraged men aod women back from the doors and back dwn the street It was a pitifal » of sad-hemrtod men and to desperation by the los « atid swearing vengeance against ths men whon they had trusted and who had betrayed then, When they were told that Ostrander and Trumphbour were under arrast and that they wars known to have rob ed the bask of nore than $000,000, the crowd grew even more violent and surged over towards the jail yelling in their rage that they would drag the miscreants out fr lis ani tear them Hmb from limb Ostrander and Trumphour in their comforsable quarters on the top floor of the jail hear the cries thal swelled in a mighty chorus fron the streols and begged of Sheriff Dili to strengiiea the Jail's defenses The prisoners, however, were safs from violenos, for the Sheriff had taken the pre- esution to place a strong guard at every entrance to the jail and the polios in the street did everything in their power to sub due the crowds and keep them Jasi from the jail, The streets of Kingston wers fille] all day with people, and depositors arrived on every train and by all manner of vehicles his men and women wandered aimlessly about, and oooastonally some of the excit threatened to break into the bank building and got their money, while others suggested that a lynching party be formed to bang Us trander and Tramphour Business was virtually suspeadsd, and nothing else is talked about, Tae gensral opinion for years was that the bank was as solid as the rook of Gibraltar.
