.,...ir occurred In this city last niaht.
Shortly before o'clocli a trolley car
the Troy City Railroad company
lU itruck by the nlcht boat spaclal
of the Delaware and Hudson railroad,
(t erossinc at the west end of the
Hudson river bridge, which connects
tills city with Insinburg, and its load
human freight was hurled Into the
dr. Eighteen of the S5 passengers are
lead, and at least ten of the remainder
will die. '
The cars entering; the city from I n
lingburg were crowded with passen
gers returning from a Labor Day picnic
it Rensselaer Park, a pleasure resort
star Troy. Car No. 192, of the Troy
City railroad, was the victim of the
disaster. It came over the bridge about
j:J6 o'clock, laden with a merry party
of people, fresh from the enjoyment of
the day. .
The crossing where the accident oc
curred is at grade. Four tracks of the
Peitware and Hudson road, which
runs north and south at this point,
croM the two tracks of the trolley road.
The tracks of the street Hne run at a
grade from the bridge to the point
where the disaster took place.
In consequence of this fact and of the
frequent passage of trains It has been
the rule for each motor car conductor
to stop his car and go forward to ob
serve the railroad tracks and signal his
car to proceed If no trains were In
light It cannot be ascertained whether
that rule was complied with on this oc
casion, for ail events prior to the crash
art forgotten by those who were In
volved. The motor car was struck directly In
the center by the engine of the train,
which was going at a high rate of
peed. The accident came without the
lightest warning. The car was upon
the tracks before the train loomed In
Ight, and no power on earth could have
saved It. The motorman evidently saw
the train approaching as he reached the
track and opened his throttle, but In
vain. With a crash that was heard for
blocks the engine crashed Into the
lighter vehicle. The effect was hor
rible. The motor car parted In two,
both sections being hurled Into the air
in splinters. The mass of humanity,
for the car was crowded to overflow
ing, was torn and mangled. Those In
the front of the car met with the
worst fate. The force of the collision
wu there experienced to me greatest
degree, and every human being In that
lection of the car was killed.
The scene was horrible. Bodies had
been hurled Into -the a(r and their head
less and limbless trunks were found In
m n . m At
some coses dv leei irum m crunina.
The pilot of the engine was smashed,
and amid its wreckage were the maim
ed corpses of two women. The passen
gers of the train suffered no Injury In
addition to a violent shock. The ma-
; jorlty of the passengers of the trolley
car were young people. Tney included
many women.
After the accident the bloody corpses
were placed In boxes and taken to a
neighboring mill shed. Many of them
were unrecognisable. The crash was
frightful In Its results. Headless wo
men with gay summer dresses bathed
In their own and the blood of others;
limbs without trunks or any means of
identifying to whom they belonged;
women's and men's heads with crushed
and distorted features; bodies crushed
and flattened; these sights constituted
a spectacle most horrible to behold.
The train of the Delaware and Hud
son road Immediately after the acci
dent proceeded to Troy. The engineer
stated that he did not see the car until
he was upon It Hi tried to prevent
his train from strlT ,ng the car, but his
efforts were fruitless. His train was
going at a very high rate of speed at
the time. In consequence of the cau
tion taken by the trolley road to as
certain If the tracks were clear at this
crossing, the engineers of trains have
always felt safe In running at a high
rate of speed. The engineer thinks that
the motorman, when he saw the train
was upon him, tried to get beyond the
danger line. The grade of this cross
ing and the speed at which his car
was going also made It Impossible for
him to stop before he reached the Del
aware and Hudson tracks. It was the
front end of his car that caught the
crash, and the motorman was killed
outright
The following dead bodies have been

There Is a rumor that General Zurlln

NAVAL VETERANS PROTEST.

Cincinnati, Sept 1 The National As
sociation of Naval Veterans threatens
to withdraw from the reunions of the

erans were escorted to Horticultural
Hall, In the Exposition building, yes
terday they rebelled against the ar
rangements. They acknowledged that
the cots and everything were better

wanted quarters in a boat and no
where else. They have had boats at
other places, notably Buffalo, Louis

they were promised a bftat here. Com
modore William E. Atkins, of this city,
who Is in charge of the local naval ar
rangements, has had no opposition for
rear admiral of the association to suc

announced his withdrawal from the
contest, although he had more than
enough endorsements to elect.
Colonel Albert D. Shaw, of New Tork,
Colonel James A. Sexton, of Illinois,
and Colonel I. F. Mack, of Ohio, the
three candidates for commander-in-chief,
are all here with elaborate head
quarters and with their respective fol
lowing! for the coming election, which
will take place Thursday evening or
Friday moYnlng. Owing to the fact
that the senior vice commander-in-chief
has for 17 years been conceded
to the city that entertains the encamp

chosen W. C. Johnson for senior vice
commander, their department la not

Eial Victory For thsAnglo-Egyp-

Bnc Tbey Were) Finally Put to Flight,
Leaving Thousands oTThetr Dead on
the Field The Khalifa Eaeapea With
Uls Harem.
Omdurman, Opposite Khartoum, on
the Nile, Nubia, Sept S. by camel post
to Nasrt The Bldar. General Sir Her
bert Kitchener, with the Khalifa's
black standard, captured during the
battle, entered Omdurman at 4 o'clock
this afternoon at the head of the Anglo
Egyptian column after completely rout
ing the dervishes and dealing a death
blow to Mahdlsm. Roughly our losses
were 109, while thousands of the der
vishes were killed or wounded. '
Last night the Anglo-Egyptian army
encamped at Agaisa, eight miles from
Omdurman. The dervishes were three
miles distant. At dawn our cavalry,
patrolling toward Omdurman, discov
ered the enemy advancing to the attack
In battle array, chanting war songs.
Their front consisted of Infantry and
cavalry, stretched out for three or four
miles. Countless banners fluttered over
their masses and the copper and brass
drums resounded through the serried1
ranks of the savage warriors, who ad
vanced unwavering with all their old
time ardor.
Our Infantry formed up outside the
ramp. At 7:20 a, m. the enemy crowded
the ridges above the camp and advanc
ed steadily in enveloping formation. At
7:10 our artillery opened Are, which was
answered by the dervish riflemen.
Their attack developed on our left,
and In accordance with their traditional
tactics they swept down the hillside
GENERAL KITCHENER.
with the design of rushing our flank.
But the withering fire maintained for
15 minutes by all our line frustrated the
attempt and the dervishes, balkedv'
swept toward our center, upon which
they concentrated a fierce attack. A'
large force of horsemen, trying to fac
a continuous ball of bullets from the
Cameron hlghlandere,. the Lincolnshire!
regiment and the Soudanese, was' lit J'
erally swept away, leading to the with
drawal of the entire body, whose dead
strewed the field.
The bravery of the dervishes can
hardly be overestimated. Those who
carried the flags struggled to within a
few hundred yards of our fighting liner
while the mounted emirs absolutely
threw their lives away In bold charges.
When the dervishes withdrew behind
the ridge in front of their camp the
whole force marched in battalions to
ward Omdurman. As our troops sur
mounted the crest adjoining the Nile
the Soudanese on our right came Into
contact with the enemy, who had re
formed under cover of a rocky cml
nence, and had massed beneath the
black standard of the khalifa. In order
to make a supreme effort to retrieve
the fortunes of the day. A mass, 16,000
strong, bore down on the Soudanese.
General Kitchener swung round the
center and left of the Soudanese and
seised the rocky eminence, and the
Egyptians, hitherto In reserve, joined
the firing -Hne In ten minutes, and be
fore the dervishes could drive their at
tack home.
The flower of the khalifa's army was
caught In a depression and within a
sone of withering cross fire from three
brigades, with the attendant artillery.
The devoted Mahdlsts strove heroically
to make headway, but every rush was
stopped, while their main body was lit
erally mowed down by a sustained
deadly cross Are.
Defiantly the dervishes planted their
standards and died beside them. Their
dense masses gradually melted to com
panies, and the companies to driblets,
beneath the leaden hail. Finally they
broke and fled, leaving the field white
with Jlbbah clad corpses.
At 11:15 the sirdar ordered an ad
vance, and our whole force In line drove
the scattered remnant of the foe into
the dessert, our cavalry cutting off
their retreat to Omdurman.
Among the chief Incidents of the bat
tle was a brilliant charge by the Twenty-first
lancers, under Lieutenant Col
onel Martin. Galloping down on a de
tached body of the enemy, they found
the dervish swordsmen massed behind,
and were forced to charge home against
appalling odds. The lancors hacked
through the mass, rallied and kept the
dervish horde at bay. Lieutenant Gren
fell, nephew of General Sir Francis
Grenfell, and Captain Caldecott, of the
Warwickshire regiment, were klPed
and four other officers wounded. Twenty-one
men were killed and 10 wounded.
The herolo bravery of the dervishes
evoked universal admiration. Time
after time their dispersed and broken
forces reformed and hurled themselves
upon the Anglo-Egyptians, their emirs
conspicuously leading and spurning
death. . Even when wounded and in
death agonies they raised themselves
to fire a last shot.
Among the wounded Is Colonel
Rhodes, the correspondent of the Lon
don Times, and a brother of Cecil
Rhodes.
Khalifa Abdullah, with his harem.
and Osman Dlgna, his principal gen
eral, managed to ercape, but Abdullah's
banner and thousands of prisoners are
In our hands. It Is estimated that 16,
000 of the enemy were slain. Our total
casualties were about 600.
i Besides Colonel Rhodes, another cor
respondent was slightly wounded. Mr.
Howard, the New Tork Herald corre
spondent, was slain by a shell In Om-

Captain General's Suburban Abode.
Ban Juan de Porto Rico, Sept 8. Ma
jor General John R. Brooke, his staff
and escort have completed their Jour
ney across the Island toward this city.
The march has been like a march
through a friendly territory. On Sat
urday General Brooke stopped at
Cayey. Sunday he reached Caguas, 10
miles from here. Yesterday afternoon
he entered Rio Piedras, one of the
aristocratic suburbs of San Juan, where
he will establish headquarters.
General Brooke has accepted the hos
pitality of Captain General Maclas,
who graciously offered him the use of
his private residence at Rio Piedras.
The column, though small. Is Impos
ing, and Is making a deep Impression.
General Brooke, with his chief of staff,
rode at the head of the column. The
natives, who had news of the coming of
the Americans, lined the roads, their
faces showing their pleasure, although
there were demonstrations. At Inter
vals along the way the Spanish sol
dlers of the Guarda Civil presented
arms as our troops passed.
At Cayey and Caguas the Spanish
commanders received General Brooke
with marked courtesies, and the al
caldes paid official visits, extending
welcomes to their towns.
At Caguas, where a thousand Span
ish regulars are stationed under the
command of Colonel Rodrlgues, the
ceremony was pretentious. The Span
ish buglers gave the flourishes In honor
of a major general upon our arrival.
Houses had been set apart for the ac
commodation of General Brooke and
his staff.
The Infantry and cavalry companies
camped In the outskirts of the town
and were visited by the Spanish sol
diers. There was no display whatever
of ill feeling. Spaniards and Americans
mingled freely, fraternizing and ex
changing buttons as souvenirs. Al
ready many of the American soldiers
are buttonless.
Spanish flags flew at Cayey and Ca
guas, but aa guests In an enemy's coun
try we showed no colors save the cav
alry guidons.
Our stalwart soldiers and massive
horses oaused oaaseless wonder to the
natives, accustomed to men of small
stature and nimble footed pontes.
General Brooke arrived here In ad
vance of the other American commis
sioners, who are expected tomorrow by
the Seneca.
Bntler's Order Was Too Arbitrary.
Washington, Sept. 8. The court of
Inquiry appointed to Investigate the
trouble In the Third Virginia volun
teers at Camp Alger, caused by an al
leged assault upon a negro . and the
consequent Issuance of an order by
General Butler reflecting seriously
upon the regiment and restricting the
members to the limits of their camp
and requiring several roll calls a day
to be had. has reported Its findings to
the war department. The report, it Is
understood, acquits the regiment as a
body of all riotous and unbecoming
conduct, and declares that had General
Butler been cognizant of all the facts
of the case his sense of Justice would
not have permitted him to issue so
drastic an order.
An Accused Chaplain's Iental.
San Francisco, Sept. 6. Chaplain Jo
seph P. Mclntyre, reported as having

tain utterances said to have been made
by him against Captain Evans, whom
he charged with cowardice, arrived
here a few days ago. He professed to
bo greatly surprised when told of the
action of the department, and says he
has been misquoted and misrepresented
by the newspapers, and thsjt the re
ported Interview with him published by
several eastern papers was garbled.
He says that he will prove his conduct
to have been not unbecoming an officer.
