28. -Eviction from the house which has sheltered her for twenty -five years threatens Miss Clara Morris (Mrs. larriot), emotional actress and writer. She is unable to leave her bed on account of an attack of nervous prostration, which a followed the close of an unsuccessful lecture tour, which she undertook in the hope of saving her home. ncar Mount Vincent, from being sold to satisfy a $2,000 mortgage.
It. seems as if misfortune, which blighted the latter years of Edwin Forrest. has also marked the last years of the actress, whose house stands on land which the tragedian owned. In the hope of finding 3 place he might end his days in peace, Forrest bought a tract of land overlooking the Hudson, and there built; a house, which was a miniature of the illfated Abbey erected by the eccentric author of "Vathek." The English original of the Forrest house fell into ruins. The fabric of the actor's domestic happiness was destroyed! and the place which he believed he would love he despised.
The house was sold for a small consideration, and it still stands 011 the grounds of the convent of Mount St. Vincent. A part of the Forrest estate was purchased by Thomas Cornell, who built a dwelling, which in 1877 was sold to Mrs. Harriot. It was her hope that she might end her days in this house.
The house has been the scene of many Christmas celebrations and in its rooms were frequently gathered those less fortunate than the actress, who were entertained with Yuletide cheer. This last Christmas was observed by Mr. and 3rs. Harriot, but had little semblance to those of the oid times. Many of the actress' friends, howerer, sent tohens and cards to remind her that they were thinking of ber, for sue knows nothing of the impending financial disaster.
Owing to the fact that she had paid the interest ol1 the comparatively small mortgages ol1 the she thinks there is no danger of foreclosure. Proceedings to forclose have been begun by the Park Mortgage Which has an office at No. 41 Park Row. Its treasurer is Daniel E. Seybel.
regret exceedingly," said Mr. Seybel, "not only on my account, but for the sake of Mrs. Harriot, that the newspapers should see fit to exploit a private business transaction. Mrs. Harriot years ago gave the company 2 second! mortgage of $2,000.
The company does not usually take second mortgages, but in this case it took the pledge to oblige a banking Institution, the name of which I do not care to give, which held first mortgage for $2,500. Our mortgage fella due the last interest up September. to that Mrs. time, Harriot and asked that the time be extended. Jirs.
Harriot made various promises that the money would be paid, but the principal was not paid, and as there seemed to be no prospects of getting the money we have taken such legal action as we deemed necessary to protect our interests. "There should be no reason why Mrs. Harriot should be left penniless by this procceding, for she should have a good equity in the property, which is worth $50,000. The action of the company is a purely business proceeding, unmixed with sentiment." Mrs. Harriot, her husband sald today, "was in a state of nervous collapse, and everything had done to keep the knowledge of the foreclosure proceedings from reaching her.

Dec. senate committee on military affairs has hell up, pending an investigation, all of the army nominations sent in before the recess, below the grade of major.

It is claimed great injustice has been done officers who have served quite a long time.

This gives them many numbers above West Point graduates, and others appointed front tho volunteers and who at once entered the service and did much hard work yhile the men who delayed acceptanco were enjoving themselves ol' attending to ness interests. Another allegation made is that quite 3 large number of men appointed under tho reorganization law became captains of artillery and were placed charge guns and machinery of which they had no knowle To obviate this difficulty to some extent tho secretary of war. with the approval of the committee on military affairs, cured the resignation of seven. gen second lieutenants of artillery.

Associated Press was which twenty-eight, persons lost their informed at Victoria hospital that while several of the injured are still in a serious condition It is expected that all will recover. The body of Fireman Ricketts of the express train, 'which was last night belleved 10 ne buried under the wrecked engines, was found today covered with snow in the ditch beside the track. One arni was completely torn off and the body was otherwise mangled. Death must have been instantapeous. Tonight there is but one unidentified body at the morgue here, that of the woman who was ticketed from Toronto to Duluth.
The man's body which was unidentified last wight was this afternoon identified as George D. Southern of Lockvort, N. Y. Andrew Carson, the operator at Watford, the first station east of the wreck, whose failure to deliver orders to Conductor McAuliffe of the Pacific Express to pass the freight at Wanstead, is said by the Grand Trunk officials to have caused the wreck, this afternoon made to the Associated Press his first statement since the wreck, He says he received order for No. 6, the express, to pass the freight at Wanstead at 9:48 o'clock but declares positively that a few minutes Diapateber J.
G. Kerr at London valled him and ordered him to "Bust" or I the order. He said: -I "About 0:54, after calling Wyoming and ascertaining that the freight was there, the dispatcher called me rapidly a half GaZe times. When answered on the a ire he told me to 'bust' this order. I Wrote it' across the order just as No.

I told him that we had had an order for He a asked me to hurry and write him a him, but the dispatcher had 'busted' it. clearance order, which I did. After the train bad started and was out of my reach the dispatcher learned that the freight had left Wyoming.
I told him I could not stop No. 5, as it had left. He immediately began calling Kingscourt Junction, the station between Watford and Wanstead, on the railroud wire and I tried to raise them on a commercial wire. both failed to do this, however, unti! after the express had passed the junction." Carson admitted that he knew it was against the rules of the company to cancel a train order without sending a substitute for it. but said that the dispatcher was his superior officer and he disliked to question his order or dispute his authority to take this action.
Dispatcher Kerr's order book in the local Grand Trunk office does not show that the order was "busted" or canceled as Carson claims. According to the book it was still in force and should have been delivered to the conductor of the express. Kerr has not made any statement even to the railroad officials and will not until he takes the stand at the inquest which Coroner Harvey of Lambton county will begin at Wyoming tomorrow.

Since the information reached local railroad officials that the wholesale merchants board of the Chamber of Commerce is to have a committee for the purpose of improving local facilities, there has been considerable discussion of the situation in railroad circles. It has caused speculation over the city's future as a railroad center. A prominent official reviewing the situation yesterday said: "It is at lamentable fact that Cloveland's railroad facilities were outlined on a contracted basis principally for the sake of economy and this has been a difficulty that WO have had to contend with from the very first. As the city has grown, the condition has become such as to cause no little la trouble. "I believe, however, that the time 1s coming when this city will have facilities modern and UD to date.
Within five years there will be a revolution in this respect. It must come and nearly every railroad entering the city is conscious of the fact and working out plans in at general way for the betterment of The year 1093 will see the completion. of many improvements now under sideration. The Erie will soon a have facilities that will mean much to shipping interests. The annount to be spent for classification yards, new storage tracks, sidings, -track and so forth it is estimated.
cost about $300.000. The nnsylvania contemplates improvements that will mean much to the city. A new' freight station along the lake front and the new terminal yards off Kinsinan street are planned and will be worked on next year. The Lake Shore has greatly sed its facilities by improvements at Collinwood but sees where more track room is needed along the lake front. At certain points the road is cramped for 109m, farticularly in the Vicinity of' the Union depot.

However, this company build a new freight station next spring which will be of much service to local pers as well as the road. The Baltimore Ohio has 'ommenced the work of building industrial tracks and has purchased tracts of land for improvement of freight facilities. According to reports from Baltimore the wo, of developing this land is to be begun during 1903. According to information from the same source.
the Cleveland. Lorain Wheeling branch is to be improved out of Cleveland during the coming year and to such an extent that the D. (). will have a fast freight carrying road from the Ohio river to the lake. Considerable work in the wav of reducing the curves and in shortening distance has been Considerable new track is to be laid next year.
With these improvements and the pre. liminary work on 2. new union passenger station, railroad officials take all optimistic view of the city as a railroad center. It is thought that the many changes now under consideration will lie hurried to completion. It is probable that railroad commissioner will be appointed eventually to help push the work in the interest of the Chamber of Commerce board and the city.

Spigots in st Saloon Were Opened and the Gutters Ran With Beer and Whisky. A flood of a rather unusual and costly nature poured from under the door of an Orange street saloon early yesterday morning. The flood consisted of the liquor which was stored in the place and which some stranger of a humorous or spiteful turn of mind thought would appear to better advantage running down the gutters than the casks and kegs behind the bar. Tina saloon at which the flood of mingled beer, whisky and wine held forth Sunday morning, from midnight until the reservoirs were exhausted, was that of Wendel Bauer, at No. 19 Orange street.
Bauer figures that the stranger's humor and the consequent outpouring of liquid refreshments cost him over $600. It is not known just how the flood started but the proprietor surmises that someone broke in the saloon after he had closed up for the night and amused himself, after ransacking the storeroom for portable valuables, by turning on the spigots of every barrel in the place. That was the state of affairs which Patrolmen Miller and McFarland discovered when they broke in the door to invesulgate. The two officers happened to be passing the place too late in the morning to stop the waste of Bauer's liquors, but they succeeded in finding the stranger in the saloon who is suspocted of doing the trick. The man was arrested and gave his name as Daniel McGinness, allas Taylor.
He Is a negro. The theory of Bauer that the stranger broke in the saloon for the purpose of robbing the place and then, after finding that the contents of the cash register had been removed when the place had been closed up earlier in the evening, turned on the stream of liquors in spite. is strengthened by the fact that the front door of the place had been broken through. The 100:1 of golden liquid which the vandal hand of the robber released escaped through the crack under the doors of the place and ran out into the street. down into the gutter and thence into a neighhoring sewer hole.
The entire vicinity of the saloon was impregnated with the odor of the flowing liquors and the gutterg were washed with the most expensive material which ever coursed merrily down Orange street. Scarcely a block away from the scene of the saloon episode 11 shoe store was broken into and robbed of several pairs of shoes, and Taylor, who is held responsible by the police for the first performance. has also to Answer 10 the latter, this morning in police court.
