Taken From Twist ed Blass of Wrccknge. CHARLOTTE, S. C, Sept. 23. While iSnnnlng at a high rate of speed, a south bound fast mall train on the Southern Hallway. Jumped from a trestle To feet high, north of Nanvllle, W. Va., this af ternoon and was almost demolished. Of Iho crew of 16 men. including mall-car- riers, nine were killed and seven Injured.

The trestle where the accident occurred ;ls 500 feet long and Is on a sharp curve. Engineer Brodie, who was atiew man ons that-division, came to the curve at high !peed. The locomotive had gone only about 50 'feet on the trestle when it sprang from 'the track, carrying with it four mall cars and an express car. The trestle, a wood en structure, also gave way for a space Of 50 feet At the foot of the trestle Is .a shallow stream with a rocky bottom. Striking this, the locomotive and cars '"were reduced to a mass of twisted Iron and steel and pieces of splintered wood. All the dead men were mutilated. No one on any of the cars had made an ef ort to Jump, and the bodies" of all those killed were found In the wreckage of the different cars to which they had been en gaged. A crowd soon gathered. Some women among them fainted .at the sight of the crushed bodies. All the express matter In the express car was destroyed. The mail bags In air the mall cars were torn open and the letters and packages were scattered, but It is believed none are lost Fire which appeared In the wreck age shortly after it occurred was quick ly extinguished. LOW'S BIG FIGHT. (Continued from First Page.) Crokor could never regain his old position, even if he wanted to. Murphy Is too firmly Intrenched In power now, and the lew district leaders who dared to secretly oppose him were all disposed of at the recent, primaries. Croker's friends say that he doesn't want to come back, and that if he ever revisits America it will simply be for a short pleasure trip. He has assured Murphy through friends, thatvhe has no desire to mix in the battles o Tammany again. Murphy accepts the assurance fcut Incidentally has taken precautions to prevent Croker from changing his mind. So far as the personality of Candidate McClellan is concerned there is little that1 can be said against him. As the son of his father. General George B. McClellan, he has always been regarded as a valu able political asset by Tammany Hall, and has been in office almost since becom ing a voter. Treasurer of the Brook lyn bridge, two years president of the Board of Aldermen and ten years a Congressman make up a pretty long po litical office-holding record for a man who is only 38 years of age. He has al ways been regarded as a "safe man," has never been an exceptionally bril liant figure in Congress, but is popular . with his associates there, and has never made "mistakes." He has always been "regular" in Tammany Hall, and never could be allured Into following any of the numerous independent or reform movements which have caused many bril liant men like Bourke Cockran to bo sud denly and permanently removed from the glaring lime light of political favor to the blackness of political oblivion. The only thing that can be said against Representative McClellan is that he Is too regular. No one denies that he Is honest, a .gentleman of education and breeding, and a politician of ability, but his critics declare that he has been ac customed ever since boyhood to carry out the wishes of the organization, and that the probabilities are that ho will Invari ably render them paramount to the needs of the community. The main objection to him from within the party has come from the Brooklyn Democrats, who declare that an out and -out Tammany Hall man cannot be elect ed. Leader Murphy, however, has satis fied himself that the real reason for their alarm is that they fear that McClellan's nomination will make it Impossible for them to elect their county and borough ticket, and personally he does not care "whether the Brooklyn Democrats have this patronage or not, what he wants is a Mayor that he can control, and is su premely indifferent whether in getting It some other fellows are injured or not It's selfish, of course, but still .It is poll tics, and the Brooklyn men would give him the worst of it If they could. And In consequence he has turned a deaf ear to all their pleadings. There Is another factor in the case which is causing the Democratic leaders a good deal of anxiety although they will not admit It, and that Is the Independent candidacy of William S. Devery, "the test Chief of Police New York ever had," as ex-Mayor Robert S. Van "Wyck once called him. Devery has already been nom inated "by petition," and his name will appear on the official ballot Both parties are much Interested in figuring on what his vote will be, for it is generally ad mitted that practically all of it will come from the Democrats. Deader Murphy has, been making a quiet canvass, and tells his associates that Devery will cut no figure in the result whatsoever. On the other hand the Republican leaders believe ho will poll 50,000 votes. If they are right it will elect Dow. But the result of forecasts in bygone years have shown that Republican ante-election figures in Greater New York are seldom based upon anything more substantial than hopes. Devery, who It is admitted brought about the election of Dow two years ago, because Mayor Van Wyck retained him in office, is now the bitterest opponent of Tammany Hall. He was elected deader of his district a year ago, despltethe hottest fight on the" part of the organiza tion, but It was a victory barren of re sults. When he tried to meet with the ! other leaders, or executive members, as they are called, they slmpiy threw him out and kept him out This year he ran again but was defeated. Devery Strong; With Workers. Ever since last Winter Devery has been grooming himself" as a Mayoralty candi date. He has joined everything in sight, and is an honorary member of a. score of labor organizations. During the troubles In which Sam Parks has been concerned he has been the firmest friend of that often tried walking delegate, and furnishes cash ball for him at every op portunity. There Is no use in denying that this ex-policeman, who became a millionaire on a salary that at Its great est was $6000 a year, is very strong with a certain element of the working classes. The question is whether or not they will ; follow him at the polls. Mayor Low was elected two years ago when the Democrats were desperately on the defensive by a plurality of 32,000 votes.- Last year In a straight fight for Governor the Democratic nominee carried Greater New York by a plurality of over 120,000. Looks for Close Vote. Leader Murphy does not expect any such plurality for his candidate this year. His own private figures (which may bo revised later) are 50,000 In old New York for McClellan, 5000 or 10,000 in the other boroughs except Kings, which he expects to see Low carry by 20,000. This wouldV give his candidate from 30,000 to 40,000 and he believes it will be more by election day. He admits that with some high-class in dependent Democrat these figures could be materially increased, but says, and his HeuSenants agree with him, that the vic tory of a straight-out Tammany man by 1500 means more to the organization than a 150,000 victory for a candidate whom they could not control, and who would constantly be causing them to wonder where they were at Tammany's motto is: 4,To the victors belongs the spoils," and the Tiger has no intention of giving anything to the inde pendents unless they have to. In the meantime the fusionists are buckling on their armor to battle their best for Low while the wild cries of Je rome are ringing In thejr ears. They are in doubt as to whether he Is crazy or a true prophet And it will be over a month before they will know whether to laugh at him or do him honor. XIXON ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY. Reform Movement, He Says, "Will Put Democracy in Power A grain, NEW YORK, Sept 27. Lewis Nixon to night announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Mayor. In a public statement he said: "I am a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Mayor. This statement Is made with a full knowledge of the un certainties of the Democratic situation. I desire to make It clear that I am willing to take my stand with those Democrats, however small their number, who believe that the Democratic party of this city should lead and not follow in the forward march of municipal reform." Speaking of the municipal organization Mr. Nixon says: "The battle will be won or lost on local Issues that are old enough to have gained a permanent hold on the public mind. These issues are police blackmail and that mercenary spirit which breeds dis honesty In the public service. To them may be charged all the party's recent Iobs of local prestige. The Democracy has not been beaten on these Issues by Republi can votes alone, by any means. It has been beaten chiefly by Democratic votes. "The Democratic party of this city has all the issues In its favor except these two. It- -is easily within its .power to throw off their dead weight when it makes up its mind to do so. Its right to dom lnancy will be restored as soon as it does. There can be no doubt of the result of any campaign In which, the party explicitly and without equivocation commits itself to the reforms for which the city has four times voted in ten years." Mr. Nixon would say nothing more abbut his candidacy. WILL DINE WITH PRESIDENT John Mitchell Had Been Invited Some Time Ago. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept 27. President Roosevelt passed the last day of his Sum mer vacation quietly at Sagamore Hill.

LONDON MARKET STAGNANT Depression In Stocks Is Unrelieved Throughout the Week. LONDON, Sept 27. The uneasiness con cerning the money market both in London and New York resulted in complete stag nation last week on the stock markets, which passed through a week of unre lieved depression. Renewed realizations, especially of investment stocks, produced a heavy fall in prices, except in the for eign department which received strong support from Paris, where the belief pre vailed that the talked-of war In the Balk ans would be avoided. The prolongation of the British Cabinet crisis and the political difficulties in Hun gary did not tend to Improve the situa tion. Americans and Canadians have shared fully in the general depression, being dominated by the situation on Wall street and the position In the United States Steel shares, and they showed declines on the week ranging from $2 to $5.

FREE COINAGE MUST CEASE Peso's Stability Cannot Otherwise Be Established. MEXICO CITY, Sept 27. The report of Mexico's Monetary Commissioners sent abroad Is now published. Among the more immediately interesting points and sug gestions are the following: . In Russia and In England especially the immediate establishment of aold stand ard In China is regarded as almost Im practicable. In the monetary system that Is recommended for tho purpose of bring ing about a fixity of International ex change, the price in gold or bar silver and the value in gold or silver money are ab solutely disassociated. The former may fluctuate In the market, whereas silver money will always have a fixed value In gold, hence the stability of international exchange. This fixed value In gold will be maintained by the governments in the following manner: First By the closing, of the mints to the free coinage of silver. Second By the fixing of the ratio be tween gold and silver by the governments. Third By the legal tender .character of Sergeant Robert S. Dnnlnp, of Jacksonville. . the currency for the payment and settle ment of contracts of all kinds. Fourth By reason of its being tho only money In which duties and taxes will be paid, as It is supposed that there will be no gold in circulation. Fifth By limitation of tho quantity of silver money coined exclusively for tho in terior currency of each country. ' Sixth By the creation of reserve funds in gold In those countries in which the foregoing conditions are not sufficient to maintain the stability of international ex change. The whole of this mechanism is based on a fixity of value in gold or in silver money. The Commissioners go on to say that all the economists whom they consulted In Europe pronounced the closing of the mints to the free coinage of silver to be absolutely essential to the success of any plan for stabilizing the value of tho peso.

Buffalo and Wheeling delegates, representing 10,000 men, decid ed at a meeting here tonight to withdraw from the International Association of Structural Iron and Bridge Workers In the event of the co'ntinued dominance of Samuel Parks, the New York walking delegate In the annual convention now being held here. Michael Flaherty, chairman of the Pitts burg delegation, will direct the anti-Parks fight on the floor of the convention. The Injection of Parks and his influence has so shaped affairs that the .N.ew , York walking delegate is an issue as directly opposed to the Buchanan regime and it has been decided to flght-lt out on that line by again attempting the re-election of Buchanan. At a caucus of Buchaaan men tonight It was figured that the president could count on 43 votes. r H. F. Donnelly, of Albany, N. Y., Is. to be the Parks candidate -for the presi dency. Those opposed, to him assert that his election will mean a reign of bossism by' Sam Parks and that they will with draw from the International body If it comes about. Donneljy .tonight makes the positive claim that he will be elected, as serting that he has 55 iotes out of 102 pledged to him. The New York delegation decided to turn down Secretary-Treasurer Johnstono for P. J. Dalton, of Chicago. Johnstone.

Samuel Parks, delegate to the International As sociation of Bridge and Structural Ironworkers from Local No. y2, new York, said tonight that har mony would prevail during the re mainder of the session of the convention, which will resume Its sessions tomorrow. The refusal of the convention to grant a charter to the new union known as the "New York Housesmiths' "Union," which sent four delegates to this convention, Delegate Parks says, is a closed Incident. These four delegates In a statement issued to the convention say: "In refusing a charter to the New York Housesmiths' Union you have virtually In dorsed all that Is bad and rotten In trade unionism. By your action you have lost to your body the greatest city In tho United States. At present you refuse to recognize an organization which will ba in the end the dominant power of the iron trades In New York." The statement at tacks Samuel Parks, and continuing says: "Keep that man in and within three months there will be nothing left of No. 2 and the International Association will be down and out as far as New York is concerned. "Now, we will say that any organiza tion that relies" lh brute force to main tain its supremacy will In the end, end In disorder and disruption." Delegate Parks said tonight: "I am quoted In New York as saying that I am going to raise all kinds of troublo upon my return. I do not In tend to call any strikes among the struc tural Ironworkers engaged on buildings in New York. But If there is not a change in the conditions at East River bridge I shall start something there In about two weeks." President Buchanan said: "I know of no reason why there should be any further trouble In the convention. There will be no split." A caucus attended by Parks and his followers. Is In session tonight and It is believed that a plan to expedite the busi ness of the convention .to an early ad journment Is under consideration. It 13 said that Parks is In favor of holding night sessions and It Is probable that the convention will be In session tomor row night. Parks and his followers, It is said, fear that President Buchanan and his support ers intend to attempt the disruption of the present organization that they may reorganize the convention before a new set of officers is elected. Parks wants to finish the business of the convention, including the election of officers before Buchanan could accomplish the disrup tion of the present organization. J. F. Donnelly, of Albany, N. Y., who Is the candidate of the Parks crowd, to night makes tho positive claim that he will be elected president He says he has 55 votes pledged to his support QUIET DAY AT CRIPPLE CREEK.
