A Wild-Cat Engioe Crashes Into an
Excursion Car.
TEN PERSONS ARB KILLED
The Accident Caused by a Runaway En-glae-tleartrendiag
Sesnes at the
Collision-List of the In
jured Passengers.
Brooklyn. N. T., Sept. 1 An appall
ing rulli Jad accident occurred at 3.40
o'clock this afternoon near the Wood
lawn station of the Sea Beach railroad.
While train No. 3. drawing seventeen
cars, which were crowded almost to
suffocation by exourslonlsts. was
standing at the Woodlawn station a
"wild-cat" engine came thundering
along the tracks In Us wake and
crashed Into the rear car. telescoping
It. The car was full of passengers,
most of whom came from New York.
Many people saw the engine come
tearing along and Jumped from the
train and thus saved their lives. The
great majority of the passengers were
on hoard at the time, among them a
number of women and children. A col
ored porter on the platform, who saw
the engine coming along without fire
man or engineer, yelled to the passen
gers to make their escape. Engine No.
61. the "wild-cat." smashed Into the rear
car. smashing It Into kindling wood
and burying men, women and children
beneath It.
There was a mad rush of surging
humanity from the doomed train. The
groans of the Injured filled the air, and
the snorting and puffing of the Im
prisoned engine made a deafening noise.
For some time the scene was a regular
pandemonium. Patrolman Kelly, who
was on duty at the station, turned In
several ambulance calls and five ambu
lances from the surrounding hospitals
promptly responded. In the mean
time the woodwork of the wrecked car
riage caught Ore and was rapidly In a
blaze. Four cars were completely de
stroyed before the hands were able to
uncouple the cars. As soon as it was
detached the engine drew the other
cars out of danger. By this time all
the passengers had disembarked, and
there was the wildest kind of excite
ment. It was thought that at least ten
persons were killed outright. The
groans of the injured rent the air and
could be heard almost for miles. Peo
ple rushed from the nearby houses and
the telephone and telegraph wires In
every direction were put In motion to
call for aid to the Injured. Four cars
were telescoped by the force of the
collision.
Engine No. , which caused all the
mischief, was used for shunting trains
at the Sixty-fifth street and Third ave
nue depot of the Sea Beach railroad. It
became unmanageable and dashed for
ward, throwing the engineer and fire
man from the cab. There was no ob
stacle then to the wild-cat engine. It
dashed a Long the track at a fearful
rate of speed. Engine! No. 3 was in
charge of Engineer William Mnller and
Fireman Harry Jansen. They were on
their, way to Coney Island. Charles

for a companion. Dr. George W. Frak
er. who planned one of the most gi
gantic and successful Insurance
swindles of modern times, was cap
tured by ofllcers who have been on
his track for the past two years. I'p
to Aug. 12 hist, 'there was a standing
reward for his arrest offered by the
Insurance companies.
In the latter port of 1893. Dr. George
W. Fraker was physician to the St.
Elmo hotel, the leading hotel In Excel
sior Springs, a famous health resort
near Kansas City. Together with
seven or eight companions, the doctor
went fishing on the Missouri river one
day, and, after dark, while In the com
pany of George Harry. James Triplet
and Jake Crowley, a negro, he disap
peared and was seen no more. These
three parties afterwards swore posi

000 annually and that George Harry
and James Triplet, who swore to hav
ing witnessed Fraker's death, were
men of bad character. They Imme

CHAPMAN SHOOTS DAVIS.
A Bladgetowa Hoarding llnnse tke .Scene
f What Will Probably End la a
Tragedy.
Special to tho floranton Tribune.
Wllkes-Barre, Sept. 2. A very se
rious (mooting affair occurred today at
BKadgetown. a little settlement back
on the mountains, behind Kdwards
vllle, when Fred Chapman, aged 35
years, emptied tha contents of a
double-barrelled shot gun Into William
Davis' right side, wounding him so
badly that his recovery is very doubt
ful. Davis Is a single man. 66 years
old, and for nearly three years has
been boarding with Chapman, who Is
a married man with two children.
The trouble began on Sunday night
when Chapman came in an Intoxicated
condition, and began to he very abu
sive to all In the house. Davis was in
bed at the time, but Chapman went up
to his room and began to abuse him.
He demanded his board at once and
ordered Davla to leave the house that
night. Davis, however, stayed In bed
and Chapman went down stairs and
made no more trouble.
This morning, when Davis arose, he
asked Chapirmn what made him so
ugly the night before. Chapman's
head was still sore, and he ordered
Davis to pay his board and leave tlie
house at once. Davis agreed to so as
soon as he could pack his trunk, and
turned to leve the room to get his
clothes. This Infuriated Chapman,
who picked up a heavy cuspidore and
threw it at Davis. It struck him in
t he back and nearly knocked him over.'
He turned on Chapman and picked up
a stove-lifter with which to defend
himself. Chapman at once seised a
heavy double-barrelled shotgun that
stood In one comer of the room, and
aiming at Davis' right side, fired.
The charge entered Davis right side,
and sixty-one pellets of No. 4 shot were
lodged In him. Chapman'a wife was
In the' Wtefl'an-aw" the whole af
fair, but so quickly was It done that
she was powerless to do anything to
prevent It.
Davis staggered to the house of Ed
ward R. Jones, across the road and
told him what had happened. He was
at once taken Into Jones' house and
placed on a lounge and Dr. Edwards
of Edwardsvllle. was summoned. He
found Davis in a very weak condition,
much of the shot having entered tho
lungs and others having lodged
against the ribs. Besides the lungs
no other vital organ was penetrated.
The 'doctor succeeded In extracting
sixteen of the shot. The others pene
trated so deeply that they could not
be reached. He bandaged the patient
wounds and made hltn as comfortable
aa possible. It was suggested that the
wounded man he removed to the hos
pital but the doctor left orders that
It would be fatal to remove him In nis
present weak condition.
In the meantime Mr. Jones had
sworn out a warrant before Alderman
Coslatt. In Edwardsvllle, and It had
been Berved on Chapman, who mado
no resistance, nor had he made any
effort to escape. He went quietly be
fore the 'squire and was committed to
Jail without ball. Ho did not show
any desire to talk about his crime, and
was not urged to. He U'a miner In No.
3 colliery of the Kingston- Coal com
pany, and Is generally looked upon as
a very respectable man, when not on
one of his drinking flts. When drunk
he Is known to be a dangerous man.
Davis is a bachelor and worked as., a
miner up to two years ago, when he be
came fish commissioner, lie Is a quiet
and peaeable man, who bears an ex
cellent reputation among all who know
After Chapman had been lodged In
the county Jail, County Detective
Eckert went to Bladgetown and got
'the gun. One charge still remains In
the weapon, which Is now In the care
of the district attorney and will be
held for use as evidence at the trial.
Chapman, when seen at the jail,
talked freely of the affair. He Is a
large man with reddish hair and has an
honest face, not at all the kind one
would expect to see on a murderer.
Chapman said Davis had been board
ing with him for three years, and hau
not paid a cent, so far, for his coord.
So, yesterday morning at 6 o'clock.
Chapman was preparing for work, and
he told his wife that If Davis did not
pay that day, he would have to leave
the house, and If he had not gone when
he (Chapman) returned from work, he
(Davis) would be put out by force.
Davis heard these remarks while up
stairs in bed, and he arose, got
dressed and said that he would not
leave the house until he was ready to
go. Then came more words and Chap
man hit; Davis with the cunpldore.
Davis picked up the stove-lifter and
came at Chapman, saying he would
"do" him, and Chapman fired with
the result described.
News came to Chapman that Davis
was dead, and he broke down com
pletely, but snld his grief was more on
account of his wife and two children
than for himself. He said that he Is
M years of age, and born In England.
He asked for permission to see some
friends who were to secure an attor
ney, and It wm granted. Later Chnp
mnn was removed to the murderer's

THEY WAVED THE RED FLAG
The Socialistic Hydra Kears Its Head
at Philadelphia. -
HOWLING NOB OP ITALIANS
Policemen Are Forced to I'se Their Clubs
Freely in Arresting Italian Anarch
Ists Carrying Red Flags la
a Labor Day Parade.
Philadelphia, Sept. 1 The waving of
the red Hag of anarchy during the for
mation of a Labor Day parade of
Italians today led to a wild scene and
the arrest of two men who attempted
to Incite a mob to riot. The police were
informed yesterday that an organiza
tion of Italian socialists was prepar
ing for a celebration today and that
they had floated a red flag from the
window of the meeting place.
The police notified the association
thut the display of the flag was a
violation of law and that It would have
to be taken down. The officers of the
association, with some reluctance, re
moved tho emblem, but when the pa
rade was formed today Wltla Calvo,
one of the Italians, carried a red flag
at the head of the line and frantically
waved It amid the cheers of the throng
of 1,000 persons. The Bag bearer waa
arrested and the police were forced to
struggle with their prisoner through
the surging mob and to use their clubs
freely.
After Calvos arrest, another Italian,
Angelo Pazzosl, who Is said to.be the
president of the association, pulled a
red flag from his pocket and waved It
In the faces of the police. His action
pleased the crowd and cheers for the
flag and for anarchy rent the air, fol
lowed by hooting of the police. Paa
zosl was soon surrounded by policemen
and the flag was torn from his hands.
He was dragged to the police station,
followed y a howling mob.
It was found that both flages waved
today were pieces of the flag that waa
last evening floated from the windows
of the association's headquarters. The
prisoners were arraigned before Magis
trate Jermon and were held In 1 COO
ball each for a further hearing tomor
