CAPTURED BY Hie Ne>\ Vo.-k Veteran Elected Com­

mander in Chief of the G. A. R.

DUFFIELD IS SENIOR VICE.

There Wasn't So Much of a Contost Ore the Elect ion After All—The Color

Question Still Unsettled — A New Ortfuuizatiou Bora.

DI-TUOIT, Aug. r -While the delejja-.es. ..o the G. A. R. encampment were getting together for their second day's session it was apparent that the chief bone of con­tention of the silver anniversary— the < olor line imbroglio—was not destined to ha disposed of as amicably as had been an­ticipated by those in favor of peace and harmony,

The recommendation of the commander ia chief in favor of the creation of a pro­visional department for the colored vet-vr;iu has met with a storm of opposition, from unexpected quarters, and scores of delegates were in receipt of dispatches, the majority from the east and west, urging

that period. George E. Dolton, of St. Louis, was elected the first major general commanding.

The national convention of the ex-prisoners of war adopted the draft of a bill to be presented to the next session of congress in behalf of soldiers who were in prison for sixty days or more providing that they shall receive from the govern­ment two dollars for every day of their confinement. They also adopted resolu­tions strongly denouncing the proposed encampment of the blue and the gray in Chicago during the World's fair.

The veterans of the Mexican war decided to invite the surviving veterans of Mexico to meet with them in Washington next year. Congress is to be asked to foot the bills.

Spil lane Was the Drummer Boy. There was an extraordinary, and accord­

ing to many, an unprecedented scene at the reunion of the Seventh Michigan in­fantry, when Major Robert H. Hender-shot, known to Grand Army history as "The Drummer Boy of the Rappahan­nock," was called.upon to prove to the satisfaction of the regiment that he had really crossed with the Seventh. General Alger was among those present. Hender-6hot produced letters supporting his claim from Lincoln, Burnside, Grant, Horace Greeley and others, but on being put through a vigorous crosse-xamination be­came, greatly confused.

In response to a call a score of comrades from Massachusetts, Maine and other states rose to their feet and, facing Hen-dershot, declared that they had not seen him on Dec. 11, li?()2, when the regiment crossed the bridge. The scene was dra­matic in the extreme, and iimilly it was decided that the drummer boy title prop­erly belonged to John T. Spillane, a police officer of Detroit.

CRAZY CONVICTS ESCAPE.

CAPTAIN JOHN PALMER. .aid in some cases demanding that the en­campment should declare itself in no un­certain way on the right of black men to meet the southern whites on an equal basis under the shadow of their post.

Quite a number of messages were also re-reived by tho commander in chief himself. -One of them, a fair sample of the whole, came from Auditor of State E. "W. Poe, of Columbus, Ohio, who signed his official title. It read; "Our colored comrade fought for the same cause and flag that you and I did. Then why not allow him all the rights guaranteed him under our ritual!1 You cannot rightfully, justly or manfully do him less."

The committee which has the matter in hand is composed of Hon. A. L. Conger, oi Ohio; George S. Merrill, Massachusetts; E. T. Henderson, Virginia; J. C. Linehara, New Hampshire, and J. A. Atkins, Ohio.

The Color Question. In the crowds that filled the hotel ro­

tundas and at the various camps little else was talked of. Politics entered more or less into the discussions, aud it was no­ticeable that a good many Republicans of national reputation boldly ranged them­selves against Veazey and separate col­ored posts. Considerable emphasis was placed upon the fact that the commander in chiefs report virtually asked the en­campment to reverse the precedent that was established by General Alger while commander in chief by his famous order in which he compelled the Louisiana posts to recognise the colored veterans as on a level with themselves.

One of the old parliamentarians of the encampment and who himself, as a chief txecutive officer, was called upon several yi.ars ago to settle some troublesome ques­tions, said this morning when asked his opinion regarding the probable outcome:

"The encampment in my opinion will abolish the color line entirely, although this would mean a signal rebuke to the re­tiring commander. If the issue is forced r>n that line as a mutter of principle it will be adopted iu a second.

One Man's Views. •'The G. A. R. fought that the colored

a*an might have his rights. It is not going back on its principles at this day.-h is true that injustice may occasionally i be done iu a few cases, but the rights of l^\- many should be considered before the grievances of the few, and if the enemies Ji' the colored man are going to push this iLing, then the color line will be wiped out altogether, and it ought to be."

When the session was called to order the , toj (ort of the committee was not ready for presentation, aud the encampment pro- i •f-i-ded with the regular business on the j /> ,ramme fur the day.

L'.y a unanimous vote it was decided to proceed to nominations for commander in ;hief. When the roll of states was called Illinois responded that it had no candi­date. Wisconsin nominated A. G.Weissert, :>i Milwaukee, and General Lucius Fair-:hild made a stirring speech in his behalf. He said that Weissert was the best Grand Army man that he had ever met, aud voul'd make an honest, able and efficient :ummandtT.

Nine Break Out of Jail—Three of Them Sti l l at Large.

AUBURN, N. Y., Aug. 7.—While two oi the attendants in ward (3 of the state hos­pital for insane criminals were at tkeit meal, leaving but two men in charge, there was an outbreak of crazy convicts. The ward is that devoted to the most dan­gerous men in the institution, and had about twenty inmates in charge of foui men. % -

Nine crazy convicts set upon the twci ieepers present without warning. The keepers made a valiant struggle, but were overpowered finally, one of them being stabbed twice under the right shoulder blade. He fought desperately, and has three cuts in the palm of his right hand where he grasped the convict's knife.

Having overcome the keepers the con­victs took their keys and opened a passage­way to the airing area. From there it was easy to scale the low wall and away thew went, nine of them, iu all directions. The escape was not discovered until the two absent keepers returned. Then thu

M Frightful Smashup on the Wesl

Shore Near Port Byron, N. Y.

ELEVEN KILLED OUTRIGHT,

All the Dead but One, the Fireman, VFe I ta l ian Laborers—Twenty Others

Injured—The Accident Was Caused by a Collision.

SYRACUSE, N. Y., Aug. 7.—The St. Louis express on the West Shore railroad met yrith a terrible accident three miles wesl of Port Byron, near what is known as tut Dutchess cut. The train was running at a high rate of speed, and at that point ran into a freight train. The wreck was an awful one, and so far the deaths numbei eleven. Those killed outright and thost who died from their injuries were all Ital­ians but one—the fireman of the passengei train. Eleven Italians were badly hurt, and four will probably die. Twelve cars of the freight train were wrecked and piled up on the tracks, completely block­ing the tracks.

The Italians were in the smoking car, which was completely wrecked. Hardly a whole piece of timber was left of the car. The wreck took fire, and the passengei train was burned, with the exception oi three sleeping cars. The train was made up of two express cars, a baggage car, a smoking car, a day car and four sleeping cars.

The Ki l l ed and Injured, The following is a list of the killed and

wounded;

Killed—Michael Bergen, fireman on pas­senger train, lives at Macedon; Alphonse Carilla, Coco Rocco, Veanzo Dilauri, Dom-inico Richone, Thomas Merlino, John Rosio, Dominico Sautilo, Antonio Scaz-zaffava and John Grambott, all Italians, and an unknown Italian, who died on the way to Syracuse.

Injured — Mihle Codarella, Giovanni Rosso, Runco Agostmo, Tomaso Canzo-rino, Luppis Camilli, Luppis Agostino, Arico Cialone, Joseph Mascarelli, Angelo Novelli, Rocco Agosturo and Antonio Cobbella, all Italians; Benjamin Pitts, of Oneonta; James Chasen, of St. Louis; J.

T H E REPUBLICAN CLUBS.

Officers and Delegates Klected and the Convention Adjourns.

SYRACUSE, X. Y., Aug, 7.—The election of officers at the session of the State League of Republican clubs resulted as follows: Colonel McAlpin, of New York, was elected president by a unanimous vote.

The first vice presidency went to Clarence S. Smith, of Richmond, who held the office last year, and the choice for the sec­ond fell upon John X. Scatcherd, secretary of the Buffalo board of trade. Salem Hyde was elected third vice president. Job E. Hedges, of New York, was renominated for secretary by Judge Curtis, of Bing-hamton.

There was no opposition to Mr. Hedges and he was re-elected by acclamation. A similar tribute was paid to the worth and services of Colonel J. Depeyster, of Dutch­ess, treasurer of the league.

For delegates-at-large to the national convention of the league E. T. Bartlett, of New York, presented the names of W. E. Weed, of St. Lawrence county, and Henry Gleason, of New York. Lucien Knapp, of Queens, nominated in place di Weed the Rev. Dr. W. B. Derrick, colored, of Richmond. Mr. Burlingame, of Albany, Bpoke warmly in Mr. Derrick's favor.

A dozen delegates in different parts of the hall rose to address the convention, and great confusion followed. A colored delegate finally got the floor and for ten minutes he kepti up a continuous roar of words, vainly endeavoring to make him­self heard above1 the din that surrounded him on every sid|e. At last order was re­stored and a vote was ordered by clubs.

Before the roll call was got through with, however, the fact became apparent that Gleason and Derrick would receive a big majority of1 the votes, and Weed's name was withdrawn. The other two candidates werq then declared elected unanimously. Rochester was selected as the next meeting place. The league then adjourned. ,

THE WEBSTKK-GOODWIN MURDER.

then T. J. Arindel, a Bulletin reporter, caught convict McGraw, the most ath­letic and dangerous of the party, as he was begging from a widow lady.

The convict knocked Arindel down, but was subsequently brought to bay by a re­volver furnished the reporter by the fright­ened lady occupant of one of the houses in the neighborhood.

How severe are the wounds of Attendant Welch have not yet been determined.

It Looks as Though a Hig Scandal Will Be Unearthed by It.

NEW YORK, Aujg. 7. —It now develops that Charles E. Gooidwin, who was fatally shot by Bertram C. Webster, in New York, was in love with a married woman, who had gone to Soutjh Dakota to secure a di­vorce in order that she might marry him, and not at all enamored of the actress, Evelyn Granville (Betty Green), who was living with Webster as his wife.

It further appears that the murder will develop in a short time a big scandal, as the woman referred to as seeking a divorce is the wife of a prominent New York bank official.

Webster has not been found, but his friends say that he will surrender himself Friday.

Three Dead, Many Injured. ST. ALBANS, Vt., Aug. 7.—The following

is a revised list of the killed and wounded by the railroad accident at Champlain on the Ogdensburg division of the Central Vermont railroad: Dead—William Angell, aged eighteen, of Champlain, N.
