As Is I the rule , the car stopped and the conluctor ? went forward to release the switch In case the ( way was clear. lie mUEt have becn , blinded by electric lights , for an eyewlllePJ dechue ! that although the gates were c1oso ; . and the draw was already In motion , th con -I ductor raised the switch handle. The motor L man applied the current and the car shot forward and struck the gates with a crash L. There was only a momcnt'B pause and then anl th heavy car ground its way through the wreckage and plunged ( Into the black abyss amId the screams and frantic struJles oC tl passngcrs : , who , at the 1 st Intmn ! 101 rushed d for thc rear door.

Soon men begun to rush about shoutIng - log wildly . and the pelco patrol wagons and nmbulanceu wee thying to the In ' lylng spot response - spons 10 telephone calls. In an Incredibly ; short space of time , the work of rescue had 1 begun. Horace Anlrews , president. and J. J.

OHAPPLINO FOl THE DEAD All the occupants or the car with the ex- cepton or the few who had managed to jump as Il toppled over. went down to certain - tain death The car disappeared from sIgh ! t as soon as It struck the water and every on a anl aie of the passengers was drowncd. The alarm whIch was sent out brought to the scene hal a dozen ambulances , the fir 0 boabl and half a dozen member oC the le saving crew with grappling Irons. Wihin five minutes oC the accident the surface of t the river revealc(1 nothing oC the terrlbl ( tragedy that had just been enacted. The ' watcrs had 'cosed over the car and Its passengers - EenerS anti ( the work of rescuing the bodies In the uncertain light was slow indeed. At 9 o'clock half a dozen bodies that had evi- denty floated out of the car and risen to the DurCace were taken from the rIver ami carried to the various morgues. The news of the terrible accident spread 1 hike wildfire through the city and a large crowd soon colected on the bridge and along the banks of the river. They could do nothing - Ing , however , but watch the slow work of Irapplng for the bGdes. ! # The captaIn of the bridge guards rys : "I saw this car coining rapidly toward the draw just as I had given the signal to swing I to admit of the paago of n vessel I waved m : y' hands and haloed to the motorman to stoi but apparently lie paid no attention to me The car Clme on . and just before I went over the brink the motorman jumped ' and ran away. " This tory dot not agree with those of eye witnesses who declare that the conductor ' went ahead to open the switch , which Is I 'about 200 feet from the draw and motoned for the car to come ahead.

There may have been other passengers wih ; transfers , which would not have been run g ! up on the reltter.

Thim reason given C for the adjournment was that the Southern I Pacific was not represented at the meeting , The association rods are very anxIous to have the troubles In the emigrant business fixed up , and at pre * lt they lay most of the difficultIes on the shoulders oC the South en Pacific. They claim that the low rates t and excessive commissions paId by the South : era Pacific , with the intention of drawing the Pacific coast busIness down by way of New Orheans has materially affected all their emigrant burmese , and unless the Souther I Pacific should see its way clear to abandon I its present tactics they will be compelled to take actIve steps In reprisal. They have for the last three days been hooking for a state ment Cram the Southern 1acific . but re- ceIvd nothing.

The points oC today's decIsion are : The proposed traffic arrangement Is a consoldaton under the laws or the state oC Minnesota ; the Great Northern and Northern Pacific road are parallel and competing lines : ) he traffic arrangement Is therefore contrary to the public policy or the state and the general I laws of 1874 and 18S1 ; the dHendsnt's chrter dees not contain , either In express termite or by implication , the rlh to make such agreement or consolidation ; that I any such power was ever given the chartcr was subject to amendment by the legislature anti the laws referred to IIJllholl'r" aime for I R"e"h"eJ.

NEW YORK Nov. 16.-The shipments of gold this week aggregated $3,267,600. The shipments exerted no weakening Inluence upon sterling exchange rates and I Is cur- renty believed that an Intermittent outward monment of the precIous metal will now occur. The two large shippers thIs week are ' known to have made their engagements re- luctanty h , but were compelled to send the , gold to fulfill their mercantile oblgatons , The street expects that at least as much gold will be shipped next wok. Treasury officials admit that all present Irdlcatons point to further exports from week to week but proCes to believe that the volume will be limited to the amounts nec- essary to cover the deficiency In the supply of commercIal bills . which at prent Is llghmt. They expect that the amount of gold to go out wi be comparatively light until alter the Christmas holidays. What will happen afterward they don't care to dis- cuss. The uncertainty ao to the outcome has directed - rected attention to the condition of the foreign C exchanges and Inquiry Is again excIted ! ns to C the caUl' of the gold exports Without dwel- trig upon the Interchange of railway seeurlte !

The life of Molere and nle circumstances C incident to the bIrth and development or his C genius were exhaustvely considered at the C meeting of the literary sectIon ef the Unity club last evening The field was a wide one , , but so well were the various phases of the subject assigned to the different essayists that a vast amount of tnormaton and profit was crowded Into the space of a single evening , The papers were Prepared with exceptional I care , and touching as they did a Ifl hIstory ssmich Is only superficially undtrsloo by the C average student of history , they were heard I with marked interest . Miss Josie McHugh considered "The Work I Into Which Molere Was ' thorn. " Her paper was an interesting retrospection of French life and manners at the opening of the seven- tenth century. The manner all customs I of the tmo were portrayed In a style which I was at once true to the historical facts and I strikingly original In its manner oC presentation - tion . Miss McHuh dwelt especially on the foibles and Inconsistencies w'tmich were char acterlstc of the French socIety and profes- siena life of that date and whIch were so I mercilessly satirized In the forceful comedies which Molere afterward launched In the face C or the French world. . "The LIfe of Moliere" was the subject or a very able biography by Phiip A. Crape Mr Crapo's composition was uniformly elegant L and at times brilliant . and he presented a I vIvid picture or the life or the great dna - matist. The ' of Moliere's matst. 'umor Molere's composltGns was consIdered a' correlative with his do mestc life . and the speaker traced the stng- tng satire which pervaded several of his n strongest works to the jealous passion with whIch he was inspired by his young and flip - pant , wife. As the years passe by he and I his wife became reconciled , and It was then m that his caustic style merge Into nil less I offensive , If equally brilliant , humor which I was characteristic of hl later productions. Miss Wallace read a very interesting paper on "The Stage as Molere Found I and as lie m Left It. " S11e considEe the various steps by mr which the dIalogue was made to play an equal put In the drama with the plot and Incident and referred briefly to the part which Molere had In the development of the crude perform ances formerly In vogue Into something of the artistic effect which I found In the drama of r after veers. 1'llEI'AlliG FOR TII , COX\EXTIO : .
