Pour Boys Cause a Wreck
on the N. Y. Central.
RO.\IE,N.Y.,NOV.19.-The deliberate
wreckiug of the fas? mail trait), No. 6,
eastbound ou the New York Central
railroad, was aceomplisbed about three
miles west of this city at 3:20 this
morniog. The wreckers had broken
opeo the company's tool house nearby
aod obtained a wrench and crowbar,
with which ali the spikes aod fishplates
from ike two opposite rails OD the
southerly track had been removed
The two released rails were left io their
places oo the track. As the train,
comprising four mail cars and three
sleeping oars, came along at the rate
of about 40 miles an hour, the loco?
motive ief? the track, bounded over the
ties aod fell sidewise io to a ditch 12
feet deep oo the south side of the tuack.
The first two mail cars shot over the
eugine, the first car landing fully 75
feet from the point where the eogiue
left the track The second and third
mail cars come together in "V" shape
aod the wrecked eugine lay iu the open
space between them. Under the second
mail car, pinned down by a pair of
trucks and stone dead, was found En?
gineer Hager. The fourth mail car
was toppled part way over. The first
two sleepers were partly turned over
aod the last one remained on the tracks.
Strange to say the two loose rails had
not been thrown from the road bead, the
last car remaining upoD them. There
were about 50 passengers in the three
sleepers aod not one cf them was hurt.
The passengers were taken east on an?
other train shortly after the accident.
The killed and wounded io the smashup j
are :
Nathan N. Hager, engineer, Albany,
killed ; Robert Elliott, or Bond, from
Syracuse, a tramp, died after being re?
moved from the wreck; E. Reardon,
Herkimer, mail clerk, bead and body
cue and bruised ; J. ? Lavioe, New
York, mail clerk, upper arm bruised
and sprained ; F. N. Paddock. Syra?
cuse, mail clerk, arm cut ; C. WI Sack?
et, Herrkimer, mail clerk, arm cut
?nd bruised ; M. J. McCarthy, Buffalo,
porter, mail car, bead cut ano bruised,
R. B Peck, Syracuse, mail clerk, head
eat aod bruised ; Conductor Charles R.
Reynolds, AlbaDy, injured in the chest ;
Jobn R. Macy, tramp, Syracuse, right
foot smssbed and amputated-he is ac
the Rome hospital; C.Wagner, Albany,
fireman, head cut. The body of En?
gineer Hager is io charge of Under
Hter OrtOD of this city. j
Toe tods with which the spikes Were
pulled were found on the track after the
r?reck. ?oe week ago, last Sunday
bight, a fishplate was loosened near the
point where this "morning's accident
occarred Several trains passed o vee
the place in safety. The matter was
discovered by the trackwalker the fol?
lowing morning and a watch was kept
there each night till last night.
Three young fellows, age 18 to 19 J
years have been arrested for wrecking
the train. They are J. Watson Hild
reth of New York; Fred Bristol and
Herbert Plato of Rome. Hildreth has
made a confession implicating the
other two and Theodore Hibbard, who
has not been apprehended. Their ob?
ject was robbery. The arrests were
made by Detective Latham of the New
York Central and Policeman Keating
of Rome.
They found Hildreth's hat with his
name in it in the bushes near the wreck.
Upon confronting him he weakened and
told who his accomplices were and their
1 object.
Twenty-two passengers were taken
oui of the windows of the first sleeper,
the Inca. All of the mail and sleeping
cars were lighted with pintch gas and no
fire was set^iu the wreck. Young Hild?
reth is said to be the son of wealthy
lawyer in New York. Theodore Hib?
bard, theiast of the train wreckers,
was captured at 3 p. m. and is now in
the custody with the others. A yellow
covered history of the explotits of the
James boys was found in one of Bris?
tol's pockets.
In addition to the four boys arrested
for wrecking thc Central mail train
near this city this morning, Joseph
Wilkes, 18 years of age, has been ar?
rested as a witness. It is said that he
was taken into the confidence of the
others wheo they were planning the
wreck, but that he refused to go with
them when they went to commit the
deed. Confessions have been made bj ?
all the other boys of their, guilt.
The Discovery Saved His Life.
Mr. G. Caillouette, Druggist, Beaversville,
III., says : "To Dr. King's New Discovery I
owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and
tried all the physicians for miles about, but of
no avail and was given up and told I could
not live. Having Dr. King's New Disca-very
in my store I sent for a bottle and began its
ase and from the first dose began to get better,
and a'ter using three bottles was up aud
about again. It is worth its weight in gold,
We won't keep store or bouse without it.

For Good Progessive Farm?
ers.
Let the farmers bear iii mind that all
the good they get out of any fertilizer
is in the potash, phosphoric acid and
nitrogen. Much of our Piedmont land
has potash enough. In case farmers
do not sell their cotton seed or exchange
for meal, they should compost them
with acid phosphate. It is better to
buy the phosphate containing 14 per
cent, of phosphoric acid, as it will cost
little more than the lower grades. If
it contains 2 to 3 per cent, of potash so
much the better. To make a compost
ase the following :
1,000 pounds phosphate.
1,003 " cotton seed.
That mixture will give 1|- per cent j
of ammonia, 7 per cent, phosphoric
acid and one per cent, potash, besides
the fertilizing element in the bulls.
A fertilizer on the market with that
analysis would cost $20 to ?22 payable
in November. At present prices, or 15
cents a bushel, tho 1,000 pounds of cot?
ton seed would be worth ?5 and the
time price of the 1,000 pounds of phos?
phate would not exceed ?9. So the far?
mer would have one ton of fertilizer
for ?14 and only ?9 of it to pay in the
fall.
If you exchange seed for meal, then
mix 100 pounds of meal with 200
pounds acid phosphate. The analysis
would show 2.60 of ammonia, 9 per
cent, phosphoric acid and 1 per cent,
potash. The cost of this would bs ?ess
than $19 a ton.
If one wished more ammonia in the
compost heap be should put 200 pounds
of cotton seed to 100 pounds of acid.
The analysis would then be 2 per cent,
ammonia, near?yr? percent phosphoric
acid and 1 per cent potash. The eost
would be ?10 86. counting the seed at
15 cents a bushel and the high grade
p jospbate at 18 a ton. Four hundred
pounds of this mixture should go to an
acre.
Meditate on these figures and plans.
