SWINDLING ON RACES. Inspector Ilyrnes Falls Foul of the Dwyer Ilros. Nkw York, April IS. Inspector Hyrnes evinced no desire to withdraw ati3' of the statements credited to him by the newspapers In relation to the Dwycr llros. when a Tribune corre spondent saw him. "This jmx1 soiling business on alleged races which arc only run to deceive the public is rapidly becoming a confounded nuisance." said the insiHictor, "nnd I have determined to talte advantage of every available means to suppress it. "In reference to my statement reflect ing upon the Dwyers, I reiterate them now, and I say more, that thev; men are no more entitled to respect or con sideration thtui any other horsemen who pose as patrons of such institution as the Uiittenberg race track. Plenty of evidence can be obtained to prove that they are nothing more than racfiig sharps, tcady to put up any kind of a job that will serve tn enrich them nt tho expense of a too confiding public They run strings of horses; not in the inter est of promoting honest sport, but rath er to swindle the people who bet money. There is not a prominent pool room keeper in this city who has not been associated with the famous or Infamous brothers in jol which enabled them to filch money from trusted Ixsttors. I still contend that under the provisions of the Ives pool bill lctting on race anywhere except on the race track is illegal, and aided by the district attor ney I intend to have every pool-ellcr at" the bar to plead to indictment framed under the provisions of the Ives law."

The fn-st mall ta running at full speed, and the force of the collision wa.s so grv at that loth engines, three mail cars and one ImggafcV car was completely wrecked. None of the passenger cars left tho track and none of the ja.senger re ceived serious Injuries. Following Is the list of the dead: rid want Hruwn, engineer of Niv -I.

Oansig, .sou of a section foreman, was struck by the v rvekage and badly hurt. The Toledo express, was n few min utes lute and had just come to a stop at the switch when the fast mail came in sight. There Is scarcely any curve at the station, but on one side of the track was a line of freight cars. These might have obscured the vision of the engineer of the fast itiuil. He applied the nlr brakes when ho saw that a collision was inevitable, but tho spwd of the train was not checked materially. The engine of the Toledo express was knocked squarely acros,s the track and that of the fast mail, reared In the air, resting on top of tho other, The fast mail consisted of three mall ears and two parlor ears nnd the Toledo express of live couches and two bag gage, cars. The first and .second mall curs were teleseojk'd and the third crashed Into the first two and rolled over on thy station platform, breaking the windows of the building The two baggage cars of the. Toledo ex press were ktuckcd from the track but did not turn over. Tho force of the collision was so great that of the sixty-four revolving chairs In the two parlor cars only four remained attached to the Moors. The passengers wen thrown to the lloor and badly shaken but none seriously hurt The Inidles of the dead were till hor ribly mutilated, uruis and legs Wing torn off and the corpses almost Wyoiid recognition. The engineer of the fat mall remained bravely at his post and -was found w 1th his hand on the throt tle, dead. His hands and faces were so badly. scalded that the Inckened flesh dropicd from the Ikuicv The postal clerk had not u ehancu to escape. The telescoping of the earn crushed the life out of them without a moment's warning. The ean and the locomotives were piled iu a heap higher than the station. It is dillicult to locate the blame, as both the engineers are dead. It is said, however, that No. II was ordered to stop at Olerlin, but dlsultcycd orders. STRONG LANGUAGE.
