desperate negro criminal. The
shooting occurred at Grant park,
in tho suburbs of tho city, a resort
frequented by negroes. Hutchinson
was on duty at the park
to preserve order. About 11
o'clock Anderson, who was drinking,
undertook to clean out the
dance hall. Ho attacked a negro
woman, knocking her down with
a beer bottle. Hutchinson was
culled inside to put Anderson out
ofthe pavilion. Anderson drew a
Colt's revolver, saying this is a
good time for 1110 to kill you, and
covered tho policeninu with his
weapon. Hutchinson turned as
if to walk away, and drawing his
own weapon, he aimed it at Anderson,
ordering him to drop his
gun, but Anderson advanced upon
the officer.
"One of us must die," said
Anderson as ho cocked his pistol.
Knowing Anderson to he a dangerous
negro, having killed three
men in his life, Hutchinson tired,
the hall entering Anderson's head.
He tired a second lime with like

Now York, Aug. 25.?During
y the height of the storm today a
11 huge derrick on the Central raile
road of Now Jeisoy bridge across
Newark bay from Ihiyonno to
, Elizabeth, was swept from ilssups
ports into the water, carrying with
!* it u number of workmen. Four
f of the men were drowned amlsevo
eral badly injured. At* least GO
f men were at work on the bridge
J at a point half a mile fiom the
Bayonne shore. The top of tho
r derrick was ISO feet from thowat
ter and nine men working at vari
ous points up tho huge structure,
, Gustavo Fisher of Bayonne being
, on tho very top of it.
Strange to say, he was about
tho only one to escape injury.
Fight men were on the ladder attempting
to descend to a place of
safety when tho storm broke.
- Fisher at tho very top of tho great
? pole realized that it was imposs
ible for him to reach the bridge
v so he clung to tho rigging. The
1 wind struck tho derrick and swe pt
a it into the water. Of tho eight
- men, .John J. Conlon and Charles
a Tingley of .Jersey City, John Mc
Faun of Bayonne and Otto Ellitio
son of New York, went down under
tho timbers and were either
o crushed to deathor drowned. Danr
iel Murphy of Oloan, N. V., was
caught in tho falling mass, and al
y though taken out alive has little
; chance of living. Three others
fell G5 feet, but were able to swim
J ashore. Gustavo Fisher, still
t clinging to the riffinnir at the ten
?/ 4 - on n " I
i' uiost part of tho pole, described a
' groat circle and fell plumb into
- tho centre of tho channal. When
? lie came to the surface he swam

Gen. M. C. Butler, for a number
of years United States Senator
from South Carolina, and a
major general during the SpanishAmerican
war, by appointment of
President Mclvinlcy, is at the
Waldorf Astoria and will he in
the city for several days. He goes
from hereto Newport on the invitaion
of his cousin, Perry Belmont.
Gen. Butler has been engaged
in cotton planting ever since lie
became of age and has owned his
plantations for thirty years. Since
his retirement from the United
States Senate he has devoted par
ticular attention to the subject of
cotton growing and is regarded as
DO D
one of the most progressive and
best informed men in the South
regarding cotton.
A reporter asked Gen. Butler
yesterday if ho had seen a statement
from (Secretary Wilson, of
the agricultural department, concerning
the advance in the price
or otton unci continuing souk- severe
strictures upon the men who
lately have been operating in tin*
cotton market. Tfie Secretary of
Agriculture did not hesitate to
characterize them as gamblers,
and to severely criticise them as
such.
'1 Yes, I have seen what was
said to have been the expression
of opinihn of Secretary Wilson,*'
said (ion. Iiutler, ;'and 1 must
think that he spoko without correct
information. Indeed 1 am
hound to say that he seemed not
to know what lie was talking
about. The gentlemen to whom
ho refers as gamblers, Messrs.
Brown and Ilayne, are not only
amontr the most reputable biisi
ness men of the country, but are
gentlemen of tho highest charac ter.
One of them, Mr. Ilayne,
is from my own State, and I think
he will stand fair comparison, as
will Mr. Brown, from Mississippi,
s with Secretary Wilson or anybody
; in oflicial or business life, I must
, say 1 was surprised at what ap
peared to nio to be a very ruckles:*
i charge, onn which was not justi
lied by tlio facts.
? uTho fact is that Messrs l>ro\\u
" and llayno have done more
the producers of cotton, the farmers,
in a few months, tier tl
department of agriculture has
done in ten years. 1 was some*
f what surprised at Secretary \Yi -
son, for he did not appear to ^et
into a frenzy of indignation when
' nnntnin ntkni< rtfinl loiilnti ui l!l(>
V^.bu...
West wore making u corner on
wlioat and corn, which enhance !
the value of these two eointiuVin
ties, and from which tho farmer
| got tho benefit.
jj! "The Secretary seem- to be
/ nartienlurlv concerned nh nii the
I operators anil tho cotton mills:
that tho coy.011 mills havo hatl to
shut down and put out of employ
mont a largo number of employees,
and that therefore it's a great
wrong upon the cotton mills.
