carrying them down into a seething
mass of flames. Their charred bodies

one tightly clasped In Rb mother's
arms.

dren were found huddled together

and recalling the gruesome history of
i he Park avenue tunnel, including tho
previous slaughters of Sept. 22, 1882,
and ot Feb. 2J, 1SU1, and taking Into
consideration its present condition,
did unanimously resolve,
"That the Park avenue tunnel as it
now exists is a nuisance, unhealthful
and unsafe, a nuisance which can be
abated and must be abated, and that
the moral responsibility for that dread
lul carnage and destruction rests upon
the railroad managers because of In
difference and false economy, and,
therefore placed upon the said railroad
managers their condemnation.
"Now, therefore, we, a committee
appointed by that meeting and by it
authorized and empowered to do all
and whatever Is possible to remedy
the wrong, abate said nuisance and
bring those found to be responsible,
for these conditions and that catas
trophe to a just sense of same and to
prosecute the rights of our citizens
before the board of health, the rail
road commissioners, the district at
torney of New York, the legislature
and governor and such other constitut
ed authorities as have any power In
the premises, do hereby call upon the
governor, the railroad commission, the
board of health and the legislature
to take Immediate action to abate this
nuisance and remove this menace.
"We Invite the neighboring munici
palities to co-operate with us to this
end." i.

MRS. DENNIS' STATEMENT.
Doea Not Throw Any Light on the
Mysterious Assault
Vashin.;ton, Jan. 13. Mrs. Ada Gil
bert Dennis, the fashionable modiste,
who was murderously assaulted on the
nlthf of tho 9th of December, was
able for (he first time yesterday
to make a statement.
She said she remembers nothing im
mediately preceding the attack upon
her and said the blow was struck whlla
she was asleep. Nor had she the re
motest idea who committed the as
sault nor the motive for it
Mrs. Dennis said she had not been
out of the house during the evening
of the night of the assault and that
before retiring she had locked tho
doors to the front and back parlors.
The latter she occupied as a bedroom.
One feature of Mrs. Dennis' state
ment that puwles tho police, she said
her rewilver and money were undor
her pillow when she retired. When
the crime was discovered the next
morning the revolver was In a drawer
of a secretary near by and the money
was In a pocketbook in a box on a
table near the bed. The police are
more mystified than ever over the af
fair. Mrs. Dennis' condition yesterday
was very much improved and the at
tending physicians now believe she
will recover.

anao has returned to Manila and re
ports that the native constabulary 13
fully aide to control the situation In
tho province of Mlsnmls, In Northern

the exception of the church the entire
town of Qiilngua, in Bulacan province.
Luzon, has been 'burned to the ground
and thousands of Filipinos have besn

owing edi"t: During the disturbances

Millionaire Rice's Will.
New Yoik, Jan. 14.-An order signed
by Surrogate Fitzgerald indicated that
there may be a settlement made with
the heirs of the late William March
Rice, an aged capitalist of Texas, for
whose alleged murder Albert T. Pat
rick, an attorney, is awaiting trial
here. The order permitted Nana Bell
Rice, grandniece of tho deceased to
withdraw her opposition to the pro
bate of the will of ISDti, known as the
Baker will, on receipt of $75,000. Rea
son for the supposed settlement was

the alleged murderer residuary lega
tee would fall and that the will of
1891! creating the Rico institute In
Texas would stand.

SlOIi IN GEORGIA,
Mme. L'ilian Nird;ca the Sing
er, wa Injured.
Three Other Railroad Men Were In
jured Passenger Train, Going at a
Rapid Rate, let Freight on a curve
and Collision Occurred E. Romaine
Simmons' Hand Bruised .
Rome, Oa., Jan. 13. As a result of
a colliJcn between a passea0e;- train
and a freight train on the Scuthern
railroad at an early hour yeUarday
morning near Keves station. 20 miles
north of Home, Mme. Lillian Nordica,
the singer, wa3 injured; her accom
panist, E. Ror.'.aiue Simmons, sus
tained a bruised hand; Engineer Frank
Tracey was killed and three other em
ployes of the road were Injured.
The train to which Mme. Nordica's
private car was attache J was a mixed
passenger and freigh , nd left At
lanta Saturday night fi r Chattanooga.
It arrived at Reeves station at 3:30
o'clock, where It had orders to meet
a regular freight.
A freight train which proved to bo
an extra was on the siding at Reeves
when the passenger arrived and tho
engineer of the passenger, evidently
assuming that it was rerular, did not
stop, but continued his run towards
Chattanooga.
A mile north of Reeves, whllo going
at a rapid rate, the passenger met tho
freight on a sharp curve. When the
collision occurred Mme. Nordica was
asleep. The sudden Jar threw her
from the bed to the floor. It is under
stood that she sustained a badly
bruised shoulder and the muscles ot
her neck are said to have been
strained.
Dr. GailiiKton. thv Scuthern rail
way's surgeon here,, was Immediately
summoned and attended the sinner.
He stated last nl-'ht that Mme. Nor
dica was net badly hurt and he thought
she would be able to fill her engage
ment tonight.
BUSINESS CF THE CANALS.
Not For Many Ycrr3 Has There Been
Such a Good Seacon.
Albany. Jan. 13. The annual report
of . Colonel John N. Partridge, former
superintendent of public works, will
be submitted to tho leislaturo tonight
by his successor, Charles S. Boyd.
Colonel Partridge says: The Erie,
Champiain, Oswego and Cayuga and
Seneca canals opened to navigation ou
May 7 and the Black River canal June
1. The date set for the closing was
Nov. 30. The opening date was more
than two we?ke later than the previous
season, and yet a comparison of the
figures representing the amount of
business actually done on the canals
this year with last, will show that
there was an Increase. In tons of 74.072.
A comparison cf the figures week by
week this year with the previous year
will show that the Increase which
started at the very opening of the sea
son war maintained to the last. As
a matter cf fact, not in many years
have the boatmen experienced such a
prosperous season as that of 1901
proved to be. The amount of business
was limited only by the craft avail
able for navigation and In very many
cases boats which had been out of
commission for a long time were given
such hasty repair as would render
them passably safe and were pressed
Into service.

AGAINS1 MAYOR GENER.
His Recommendation of Removal of
Judges Held Not to Be Justified.
Havana. Jan. 11. The commission
of the supreme court, apopinted to in
vestigate the dismissal of Judges
Quintana. Iglesins, Mayclaan. Guiral
and Romero, who wjre rer.::ived from
office on the recommendation of May
or Oner in September. 19o0, has re
ported that Senor Oener was not Jus
tified In recommending their dismissal.
Manufacturers of Wire and Nails.
Pittsburg, Jan. 11. Arrangements
have been made for a meeting of the
principal companies manufacturing
wire and wire nails in this city next
Tuesday, at which it is probable that
an arbitrary price association will be
formed for the put pose of controlling
the prices or wire and wire nails. The
association, if formed, will be veri
similar to the steel rail and steel plate
pools. It will include about a dozen
concerns, the largest of which It is
said will be the American Steel and
Wire ci inpany of the United States
Steel corporation.
Endorse Pure Food Bill.
Philadelphia. Jan. 11. The Na
tional Commission Merchants' conven
tion passed a resolution asking con
gress to pass the pure fod bill. In
speaking on the resolution Charles Y.
Knight of Chicago said that over B.ooo
carloads of imitation butter were sold
each year despite the fact that in 32
states prohibitory laws had been en
acted. This, he said, took $20,()oo.0'id
worth of business out of the hands of
the farmers and butter men of the
country. After selecting Chicago as
