Several Persons Hurt When Long IslandRailroad Car Jumps Track.

Several persons were injured when a LongIsland Railroad train was thrown from the railsat the Belmont Park racetrack station yesterday

afternoon. None of the injured was fatally hurt.R. S. Hobbs. a Mrs. Ruhle, a man named 6'Don-n«)l, a representative of a private detectiveagency, and J. Rausch. a platform man employedby the Long Irland Railroad, were th* mostseriously hurt.

The train left the FlathiiPh avenu> station,Brooklyn, at 12:20 o'clock, and was slowing downat the racetrack station when the forwardtrucks of the third car Jumped the track andthe car hit the platform. The crowded carripped up planks for a hundred feet, and therewas a scene of wild confusion. Men and womenran screaming from the entrances and tumbledout in heaps on the ground. Only the fact thatth.» train was moving slowly at the time pre-vented many more being seriously injured.

RACETRACK TRAIN WRECKED.

George and Frank Will ProbablyBe Brother's Witnesses.

It Is considered probable that both G«orgoand Frank J. Gould will be called to testify inthe suit that Is being: brought against theirbrother Howard by his wife, formerly KatharineClemmons. the actress. On what their testimony

willhinge is not known, but it is said that theywill be called upon to bear out Mr. Gould inseveral of the allegations that he will make laanswer to his wife's suit.

Mr. Gould is in dally conference with his at-torney, De Lancey Nlcoll, bat up to the pres-ent tlmo has avoided taking part in th« discus-sions and bickerings which have characterizedthe case. He has been at work with his attor-ney collecting and arranging evidence to be usedin fighting Mrs. Gould's Butt, and haH been con-tent to let the complainant and her allies In thocase do tho talking.

A close friend of Mr. Gould said yesterdaythat he, angered by the notoriety which has at-tended the suit, was determined to fight the caseto the bitter end and would seek vindicationat the hand of the court of the charges whichhave been made, again.st him. He willnot applyfor a divorce, according to his friend, but willnot object if his wife goes to another state andseeks* one.

Mr. Nicoll, when asked yesterday whether ornot Mr. Gould Intended to brinr a counter suitagainst his wife, said: "Ican't say anything

about it as yet." It is Bald on the highest ofauthority that such will not bo the case. It wassaid yesterday that It was Mrs. Gould's Intentionto hasten her suit against her husband to obtainvindication for the stories that have been toldabout her habits. She. Is highlyIndignant at thosestories, and the hearing of the suit bids fair tobe lively,inasmuch as both plaintiff and defend-ant are Kaid to be seeking vindication.

The police end of the case has simmered downto nothing and the "Incident." so far as Mul-berry street is concerned, is ended. It is notexpected that any punishment will be meted outto Lieutenant Frank Peabody for his allegedactivity In obtaining evidence to be used againstMrs. Gould. There Is nothing to Indicate thatMcLaughlln will ever be called upon to explainhis connection with the case, and now that heIs out of the department, he has no need towory. The Postofflce officials are still waitingfor a formal complaint to bo made concerningthe alleged tampering with Mrs. Gould's mall,and unless one is made soon the charge will endin a fiasco.

GOULD KINMAYTESTIFY.

Frank Cllne. of No. 136 East 4Sth street,

found In the avenue two explosive caps nndhanded them over to tho police. Two men Innaval uniform walking south wern recognizedby the police as French naval officers. Theysaid the caps were used as explosives for pro-jectiles on battleships. The French officers saidthe caps contained nitrn-glycerlne and Rraypowder, also a hlfrh explosive.

The two recovered caps and tho shell of theone which exploded under the, car were sr-nt tothe bureau of combustibles at Fire Headquar-ters. Th« car, which wa« uninjured, proceededsouth. The police believe that mischievous boysplaced the explosive on tho car track.

While the big transatlantic companies ar« nottaking a '.'articular protest against this Immenseloss to their business, they are not particularlypleased and are bearing it the best they know howHid waiting in patient hope that relief will .soon

\u25a0 MB* Under the original plans the new ship chan-pS, which when completed is intended to supersedethe present channel, should have been completed a

t fear or more ago. but for various reasons its op»n-kg for the use of the bigliners has been postponedborn time to time. And now, although the govern-ment has taken the work of dredging the channelit.'i

-its own control, and has promised that the

tew waterway will be ready by .Tun» 1. it is practi-C2'dy certain it willnot be completed until at leastlix months later.

The officers of the Cunard Line have long bern

hoping for a practical opening of the new chan-nel in August, when the biggest boats «v«»rftuilt by the line are expected to arrive here ontheir maiden trips. These boats are the LusitamaHid the Uauretania. Unless the East or AmbroseChannel, as the new deep waterway to the ocean

\u25a0s known, is ready tor use at that time, itmeansthf these ships may have to put off their voyage?

to this port or else discharge their cargoes severalmiles outside of Sandy Hook, for until a depth offorty feet at high water Is assured the owners ofthe "vessels will take no chances on sending themthrough the old channel.

NEW STEAMSHIPS READY IK AUGUST.Inquiry made at the offices of the Cunard Line

brought out the fact that the vessels may have to

be rut to other service in case the new channel 13

aot ready. Under the contract, the Lusitania and

th»- Miuretania are expected to be ready for their

in:.:>.. trips in August. Hope was expressed thatthe new channel would be completed to a depth of

tr.:r- -•-<\u25a0 feet at low water and a width of one

Ihousand feet by that time, as promised by Lieu-

tenant Colonel -Marshall, of the engineer corps,rho is in charge of the dredging work.|It was also disclosed that, through mere lack of

water and the difficulty attending the passage

through the present ship channel, half a dozen or

\u25a0tore bis liners which can come into New York at

tJgh tide have to go out without full cargoes.

frhtn the Baltic and the Carmania were built,

with a maximum draft of 25 feet, it was expected

that Ambrose Channel would be completed in timelo enable th:m to enter through it. The specifica-

tions for this channel call for an even depth of

10 bet at low water for the entire seVen miles Of|U extent, which would give at high water a•epth of about 44 feet. Even with a lowInter mark of 25 feet, the new channel wouldcontain enough water at high tide to allow theBaltic and the Carmania to go thiough withoutftar of grounding. When the liners were com-tieted. however, the new channel was not readym their reception and, as a result, they havebeen compelled to take to the old channel and tousnit their cargoes In size, so as to prevent a drait« ov*r 30 or 21 t> • t

when asked as to the status of the harbor lm-Crovftnent and as to the effect further delay inthe completion of the work would nave on the com-merce of this port. Lawson Sanford. secretary ofthe Tr&r.sstiar.tic Steamship Conference* composedw the leading transatlantic linen, said recently:

W« art hoping that the new channel will beready for uM:on June 1. Lieutenant Colonel Mar-shall promised us in November last that it wouldbe ready on that dale, though it is getting dangf-r-ocsiy near to unA 1 now and we have had nonoiincation that the bis liners can use the- channellaT.*!!et>

Companies Lose Money as LinersCannot Take Full Cargo.

Because it Is extremely hazardous, if not abso-lutely Impossible, for the gigantic liners which arebow under construction on the other side and adesigned for the transatlantic traffic to enter thisport, under even the most favorable conditionsNew York stands face to face with a big loss injoramerce. What is more serious, the present poor*j>pri.s-'h to the harbor and the ever-present dan-ger that the big liners coming Into this port run ofpein; stack on a mud bank will result, ithas beenpredicted, in the permanent diversion to otherfitles cf a lar?e amount of trade that belongs risht-tn!!r to this port.

Half a dozen vessels, at least, belonging to theVarious leading transatlantic lines cannot at pres-fcut King in or carry out a full cargo because atl\gh tide there is not sufficient water in the, chan-tsel. Even at high water the fe-at is such a riskypoc and is fraught with such dangerous conse-juencps in Injury to the vessel trying it that thepwners prefer to Buffer a loss in freight rat*« totaking ar.y chances with the lurking shallows ofthe ship channel. The managements of the vari-jus transatlantic lines are not gratified to have thejan-J^rs and other equipment necessary to get th«bu?!r. .- c and then have to turn down this businesslimplybecause only a few feet of water are lack-tap •

First Organization of ItsKind in theWorld, Say Members.

A "Blind Woman's Club" has been formed,

which, according to one of Its members, is theonly one of its kind in this country. The clubwas organized a week ago, the first meetingbeing held at the homo of the Misses Winifredand Edith Holtz. at No. 44 East 78th street.

The club will be run on the same basis as any

other social club. Its object, according to MissAgnes Stafford, who is blind and oilb of Itscharter members, is to show the blind people

that they need no longer be objects of charity.

At the preliminary meeting: fourteen blind girls

attended. A president, vice-president, secretaryand treasurer were elected. Although blind. MissWie.ss. the secretary, will take the minutes ofthe meetings down in shorthand. At the meet-ing's the reports of the various officers of theclub willbo read by the associated members whoare not blind.

Mrs. Charles Sheppard. of No. 303 West 71atstreet, who has taken an active interest in themovement, has offered her home for the use ofthe club to hold their meetings during the sum-mer. The family have left the city.

"People say that we are. useless without oureyes," said Miss Stafford yesterday. "It Isn'tso. It's our brains that do the work, and not oureyes. Some of us blind girls are more Intelli-gent and smarter than many girls who can see.We have fourteen members, so far, and we ex-pect to increase that number to one hundredvery soon. Some of th© girls live in Brooklyn,the Bronx and in the city. There are severalblind men's clubs, but this Is the only blindwoman's club in the whole world.

"We are going to adopt some of the resolu-tions of the men's club, and also their parlia-mentary rules. It will give the people a chanceto study the general conditions of the blind."

Miss Stafford, who has been blind since shewas five years old, received her education in theNew York Institution for the Blind, at 3'.»thstreet and Ninth avenue. She was there for eightyears. She can use a typewriter as well as afrlrl who can see, and has three pupils. MissIsaacs, vice-president of the club, Is a telephoneoperator at Lebanon Hospital, In the Bronx.

NICK LEOPARD MAKES HIS ESCAPE.

Keeper at Central Park Zoo Captures LittleFellow

—Mother Frantic.

Nicholas, one of the- leopards born threemonths ago In the animal house in' the

Central Park Zoo, escaped from his cage

In the, southeast corner yesterday after-noon' and was seen crawling catlike towardother animals by on« of the keepers, who went

in pursuit. The leopard had worked his way up

from the box in the corner of the cage, clinging

to the Iron bars, and then squeezed his body

through the Iron rods forming the roof of thecage. The instant Frank H->ey, one of the keep-

ers, climbed to the top. the mother leopard

sprang; to the attack, but the intervening ironIbars protected him.

All the footing the keeper had was a boardabout twelve inches wide, resting on the top

bars of the cage. The big leopard struck this

board with her sharp claws repeatedly. Hoey

took <are not to get near the edges of the board,

where the lone claws of the big cat were hunkagain and again Into the soft wood. The clawsof the enraged beast, which seemed to fear thatshe was being robbed of her young, grazed thekeeper's shoes and trousers as lie tried to get

the escaping leopard Into a. big basket whichanother keeper hurriedly carried to the cago.This was finally accomplished.

The mother leopard was so excited and en-raged by this time that the keepers could notopen the door.!She was finally forced to enteran adjoining cage, and when the door closed onher the little leopard, was Flipped in. A heavyiron 'screen was put up to prevent .the sm-llleopards from escaping &gain.

"M

he Army 'l'""»?. *n January. 1901. andconUnued with more or less interruption for re-Pairsi to dredges and on account of unseasonableconditions until last October. when the executorsof the estate of Andrew Onderdonk, who had thecontract for the work, threw up the Job and leftthe sovernrnent In a bad hole. Only a third of thework called for had been completed, It wa« said,and that not satisfactorily. Since that time thegovernment ha« had two dredges, the Manhattanand the Atlantic, working day and night on thechannel in an attempt to carry It through. Thenature of the work itself, however, makes Itprac-tically Impossible to avoid frequent injury to theexcavating apparatus of the dredges, and the Man-Rattan has been laid up for over two weeks nowIn drydock In Brooklyn. This unforeseen. If notentirely unexpected, injury to the Manhattan hassent all chances of the channel being ready for useby the bitr liners on June 1 Hmmering1. with thecoming of the big new Cunarders only a couple ofmonths away.

DREDGES NOT EQUAL, TO WORK.From other sources, however. It Is learned that

a vast amount of work remains to be done tocomplete a channel thirty-five feet at low waterand one thousand feet wide; that the work Is nottbeing carried on zealously and energetically, andthat It Is foolish to talk about petting the chan-nel ready for the L.usitai:!a. and th<» Maurotanla atany time this summer. The government dredgesare- said to ba too small, to be ill adapted to carefor the hard spots and net powerful enough tomake proper progress on the work. After the On-derdonk people refused to continue with the worklast fall, the contract \u25a0was cancelled by the% gov-ernment and readvertleed, but for some reasonthere were no bidders, and the government bad totake up the task itself and do the best it could.

Meanwhile, not only are the big transatlanticlines losing money right along because of the fail-ure to complete the harbor Improvement, but NewYork Is threatened with a loss of Its commercialprestige. At best the records show that. In pro-portion to the volume of Its commerce. New "iorkhas received less appropriations for dredging thanany other port on the Atlantic, and it Is consideredunfortunate that the work of completing a safeentrance for transatlantic vessels, for which $4,000,-090 was appropriated, has dragged on a year ormore after the time promised. It Is the conten-tion of the officials in charge of the work that, ow-ing to the failure of the contractors to completethe work on time, the government Is not red&on-Bible for the delay or under obligation to narnft adate when the. work will be done; but that doesnot irtve. much satisfaction to the officials of thebig lines.

Constipation and ItsCauses

A Well-Known Remedy.Constipation Is one of man's worst >ne>miP!».

and half the bodily Ills we suffer from are) aresult thereof. Nature meant that the howelsshould be kept free and open— that we shouldhave a free movement at least once a day. Ofcourse, we ourselves are to a large extent re-sponsible for our troubles by failure to observe

Nature's laws. Our habits are irregular, weeat Improper food with undue haste, and whenwe find our bowels do not move have resort topowerful drugs and medicines*, which am sodrastic in their action that, although they maypurjre at first, they damage the tender liningofthe stomach and bowels bo as to leave a worsecondition than before. And why take such In-jurious and expensive drugs, when we can ob-tain from any druggist, much cheaper, a bottleof 'Nature's own remedy— the famous MineralLaxative Water—HUNYADI JANOS— bottledat the springs In Hungary; in use nearly half acentury. One dose, Vi a tumblerful, drunk onarising In the morning (slightly -warmed forbest results), will bring within an hour a re-freshing movement

—natural and thor-

—without any griping or purging or otherbad effects. A whole bottle costs but a trifle.Keep one always on hand. At all Druggist*'.
