Warden Bridges, reflecting a moment, said: "Well. 1 have no special system or method. My first desire is to have disci- Sline and to encourage good behavior.

I ave endeavored to be just toward every prisoner. In every man. no matter his position in life, there is a better side, and even the most cast-down man in the world will respond kindly when he finds those in authority Give II lnt Fair Treatment. "I adapt myself to all varying conditions. A healthy mind is dependent on a healthy body, and no obstacle is thrown in the way of the physical health of the prisoners.

Cleanliness as afforded by the bath, fine air. moderate outdoor exercise, wholesome food and comfortable quarters, are regarded as essential by the prisoners and officials aline. Regarding the personnel of his deputies and others officers who assist him at the prison. Warden Bridges said that he had confidence in them and their work. He had up to the present time made but few changes and therefore could not say what effect civil service might have in the selection of new and additional officers.

The Globe man was allowed to visit several of the shops, where he found the men all busv, much the same as men in outside workshops. In the new shirt factory, just started were over loo men at work. On the new wing in process of construction in the yard were a large numberof prisoners at work, and apparently as earnest in the job as if laboring for themselves instead of the state. A few men were wheeling coal from the yard to the boiler-room, while others were scattered about either singly or in groups, but busy in a variety of occupations. A singular fact significant of their labor, was that although no officer appeared to boss or drive them, they all continued at their respective stints apparently quite satisfied.

Deputy Huckins was present during the afternoon at the office in the yard. He still continues as much of a favorite as ever with the prisoners, who ever have a kindly word when they have a chance to speak of him. Officer Huckins ever has a sympathetic word for the men, amon whom he com- ithe United States.

The circular sent out by treasurer Lyman of New York, denouncing Mr Gladstone, has disgusted Gannon and was the chief cause of his resignation. He said "It is very evident that something must be done to get the league upon the right lines, otherwise it will go on of existence. "I think, perhaps, in midwinter, an at-, tempt will be made by those in power to rehabilitate the league. I will take no further active part in its management. assets almost worthless.

Suspended Providence Firms Will Pay But a Small Percent. Providenck, Oct 13 Late this afternoon it was ascertained that the firm of Sheldon Binney could pay very little, if anything. to its creditors, and that Wilbour Jackson Co could not exceed 25 percent, if it does that. The Denver railroad stock is considered as worthless as waste paper, and the bonds are estimated to be worth 25 percent.

Secs (hat Men Have Plenty of Good Food. He Has Confidence in All of His Assistants. What a Globe Man Saw on a Visit to the Shops. Peace reigned supreme iu the old prison at Charlestown yesterday. A visiting Globe man, attracted to the place during the afternoon to ascertain information relative to the recent cutting affray between two colored prisoners, had ample opportunity to study the condition of affairs within the institution.

The vague rumors circulated broadcast at times have inclined the public to a belief that the prison is a scene of turbulence pretty much of the time Then the reports, periodically, about this and that great criminal's attempt to break out, together with the Tams about the prisoners being thoroughly armed and equipped for any murderous emergency, are matters which have left their impression on an over credulous as well as querulous community. That there may have been good ground for such impressions during past regimes at the prison will not be questioned but, that the same should continue to be entertained by the ontside world when the con, ditions do not warrant, is as unjust to the prisoners themselves as to the present prison administration. The Globe man in the prison yesterday sought light upon the motives which must have actuated the deadly assault with knife as made by William Hamilton on his colored brother, Frederick Lewis, on Saturday afternoon. It will be remembered that Hamilton gave as an excuse for the assault that Lewis had refused to admit his guilt of the crime of breaking and entering for which he (Hamilton) was serving a term of seven years. Besides the ferocity exhibited by the assailant in his attack, the outside public were especially interested to know how it happened that Hamilton should have become possessed of such a murderous weapon as a knife.

These were points brought to the attention of Warden Bridges by the reporter, who was received with the greatest courtesy. The warden, touching the motive for the assault, said that all he knew about the same was what was claimed by the two colored men. who were old acquaintances before their imprisonment. As to how a prisoner could conceal a knife about him, the warden said that it was the most easy thing In the World to Do. He said that there were over 649 prisoners in the place, and with some 600 of them at work in the shops, it was easy for any of them to carry a knife or some little tool out of their shops.

The men went to and from their cells four times a day, and to keep a perfect inspection oyer every one cf them who might have a weapon concealed on his person was an utier impossibility. Lewis was spoken of by the officers of the prison as among the best behaved prisoners, never haring given the lean trouble. His resent term is his second, his first having een a stretch of 10 years for a burglarv at Dr Judge's house on Columbus av. and of which offense he was later found to be innocent by the confession of the real culprit. Upon this confession, through the recommendation cf the court, he was pardoned.

but soon after was caught in the act of commission of the crime for which he was given his present term of four years. Of late he has been employed on the new wing under process of construction in the yard, and was considered a willing workman. As to the punishment of Hamilton for the cutting. Warden Bridges would not sav. The district attorney of Suffolk may at the proper time take cognizance of the case.

Hamilton is at present confined in Fort Russell. Touching general mattere, pertaining to the discipline and conduct of prison affairs. The Globe man had an opportunity to learn considerable which may tie of public interest. A visit to the kitchen snowed the authorities disposed to leave nothing undone as regards providing the prisoners with wholesome and properly prepared food. Everything was clean and tidy, and the big polished copper boilers had just been cleaned after the noonday meal, which embraced a regular Old-Fashioned Boiled Dinner.

The days baking had just been brought in, and the reporter was allowed to sample it as well as the com beef and vegetables, and therefore took nothing for granted. In conversation with some of the prisoners. touching the question of their food, it was learned that the prisoners now have no fault to find on this score. They say that what is provided them is wholesome and in abundance, and at the same time there is variety, and on the whole thev are pretty well satisfied and said thev were as happy as men could be who were shut inside the walls of a prison. If there was such a thing as ones being reconeied to one's fate, then the great majority of them were seemingly reconciled, and were determined at the same time to respect and appreciate all the kindness and favors which those in authority might extend them in ameliorating their condition.

With reference to any disturbing influences which might now exist in the prison, they were of the opinion there was now no trouble to speak of. Touching this point, Warden Bridges remarked to the writer: "The prisoners feel almost as bad as I do when they hear of the false stories and exaggerated stories as published on the outside respecting affairs in this prison. "I do not understand the basis, and Ian sometimes strongly tempted to shut out all reporters. It is easy for some unthinking people to criticise the administration here, but I feel safe saying, without making a comparison with past conditions, that the Charlestown prion, today, is as well managed as any in the country. The prisoners, generally, are inclined to be veil behaved, for they recognize that strict rules are essential t-o maintain discipline.

Among so many men it is not strange that there may be individuals who transgress the rales thoughtlessly or otherwise. Human nature is the same among all men, and among men who are confined as those are under my charge it is to be expected that the temperaments of some of them may be wrought up to the extreme in certain moments of melancholia. My endeavor is to inculcate in the minds of all the prisoners the brightest anticipations they can hope for. both as regards making their stay here as pleasant as consistent with my duties, and their future success when they Go lute the World Again. "I believe I have accomplished a great deal for the good of all since taking charge of the prison.

The old complaint about poor and a scant supply of food is not heard now, because I have endeavored to rectify past mistakes. I personally look after the food and see to it that it is wholesome and gwd and that the prisoners arc not stinted. a leading cause of the trouble when I came here I found to be in the matter of preparing the food in the kitchen. 1 proceeded to correct this and tried to get a thorough cook to superintend the work. But I found my efforts handicapped in this quarter by the civil service commissioners, who assumed that I must take such a cook as they considered suitable for the pur-: pose.

'Why. I might as well have assigned one of my deputies to be cook as to have followed the of civil sen ice. Well. irst- I finally found among the prisoners a fi class cook who looks alter kitchen, and there is now no trouble there. The prisoners had a bountiful boiled dinner with all the fixings today.

Once a week they get roast beef, and then they have mutton stew and soups. They have a variety of all things essential to a frugal and healthful diet."

Woman Became Raring Maniac Through Grief. Jacksoit. Mich. Oct 13 A frightful railroad accident occurred here at 9.40 a m. The second section of the Oswego special, bound to Chicago, ran into the rear end of the head section, telescoping two coaches and smashing the cars to kindlings.

Thirteen were killed or died of their hurts. The wreck is 10 rods east of the Michigan Central railroad depot on the main track. The accident occurred because of a misplaced switch and because the airbrakes wouldnt work. The second section ran.into the head section while the latter was standing on the track. Some of the passengers were out on the ground, some eating breakfast and many asleep.

The telescoped cars are the first and second ones from the rear of the first special. All the undertakers, physicians and assistants were soon on the ground doing all they could. At 10.45 oclock Dr J. D. North, surgeon for the Michigan Central here, stated that there were 11 killed and 14 wounded to his knowledge, but that he thought there were about five others wounded and taken to hospital.

At 11.30 there were six dead at Webb Crandalls undertaking establishment. Six were at another place, two of whom are identified as Mrs Lloyd Woodbury and Jamea Woodbury of Bath, Y. Mrs Woodburys father-in-law. The husband is here uninjured, and is Almost Insane with Grhf. At the Hurd house Mrs Searle of Elmira is somewhat Injured about the head, and Edward Fay.

Mrs C. W. Fay and Miss Laura Fay of Elmira are also badly injured. Miss Blanche Beardsley of Canton, Penn, whose mother is among the dead, is lying in a precarious condition, and while the doctors are working over a badly injured limb she is loudly protesting to them to let her die. Her father is standing uninjured by her side.

The dead and injnred have all been removed. and are now lying at the hotels and morgues, where the most heartrending scenes are constantly taking place. The conductor of the section which was telescoped was S. J. Reed of Dearborn, Mich, and Owen N.

Webb of 872 12th st, Detroit, was conductor of the next section following. The engine pulling the latter section was No. 286, and was known as a tenwheeler. one of the heaviest on the road. It crashed into the forward train ith irresistible force.

The train was one of a series of special excursion trains run from Oswego to the Worlds fair. At 12.15 the only estimate that can be made of the dead is between 34 and 60 people. The following Save Been IdfBllfiedt Maggie Me Watson. Penn'Yan. Y.

A lady from the east whose name could not be learned jumped from a window as the crash came and ran away from the wreck and she has not been seen since. The wreckage is being cleared away and some startling discoveries are made, although the dead were supposed to have been all taken out.

Two cars that had been wedged into each other so that they were unrecognizable as such, were being taken apart at about noon and between them were found many remains to swell the death list. Among the horrible sights was that of a woman carrying a head by the hair around through the crowd and moaning and weeping with all the appearance of a raving maniac. She was taken care of by the police and the head which she carried was sent to police headquarters. STORY OF ENGINEER. I Saw the Signal and Had My Engine in Hand Thought.

Jackson. Mich. Oct 13 The first section of the excursion train was called the "Oswego, and the last section the Webb special. F. J.

Reid, conductor of the Oswego special. has sent the following dispatch to the officers of the road in Detroit: "I was stopping at Jackson for breakfast and had just started when the Webb special going west struck my train in the rear part and broke three coaches. My train was protected in the Jsckson yard by the semaphore. Engineer Wm. Whalen, who lives at Jackson, was running the last section.

He says: I saw the signal In the yard to keep back, and bad my engine in hand, as I thought, but when I came down near the train which was standing still my air brake would not work, and I ran into the coaches. The failure of the air made it impossible to stop. I never had such an experience before. Whalen is badly burned, and one of his legs is broken, but he will live. No less than nine specials had already passed through Jackson, going west this morning, in addition to the regular trains.

Some time since he was afflicted with the grip, from the effects of which he has never recovered. He is now sorely troubled with asthma, which ailment has cansed him a loss of nearly 60 pounds in weight. A glimpse of Fort Russell suggested to the writer the object of its maintenance, and the fact that there are now confined there some 40 men. the majority of whom are said to have been among the leading disturbers under the old prison regime.

These men will be relieved of tneir stay there when they evince their desire to conform to the prison rales, but up to the present they persist in a dogged determination not to acquiesce, although having no fault to find with the present warden. Others in the fort are prisoners who have violated the rules or have been placed there to render them more secure.

Portland, Ore. Oct 13 Recently J. Fairfield, boss logger on Wash ah river, Chehalis county, ash, while clearing for a road, felled a tree which must have been 160 years old. While grubbing the root, a number of human bodies were unearthed, among them two skulls, which attracted attention because of their enormous size. The thickness of one of the skulls is at least a third greater than that of the average man.

The lower jawbone is at least one inch thick, and the horseshoe of the jawbone is enormous in comparison with that of an ordinary man. The strangest part of the discovers is that the teeth are set on edge instead of being broad side on. They grow in the jaw bone with the greatest width from the front to the rear, and with the narrow edge presented to the front. With the bones was found a rude stone implement similar to that used bv pnmi- Ltf tive man for beating skins, resembling dumb bell more than any other instrument.
