Tom Lawson’s Property Disposed of at
Auction.
Bostoln, Mass.. Sept. 11.—Many'In-
terested spectators attended the pule
lie auction In front of the court house
this afternoon when Thomas W. 1-aw-
son's Back Bay property, including the
homestead, stables, etc., were sold for
(axes. It seems that the property was
transferred by Mr. I^awson to his wife,
Mrs. Jeannle A. Lawson, two years
ago. Mr. 1-awson at that time over-
looked the fact that the taxes for 1902'
and 1903 had not been paid. Tax Col-
lector McDonald, falling to collect the
ties and accrued interest, amounting
to $5,510, advertised ft for sale and set
the auction for this afternoon.
When Mr. I .aw son of "Frenzied Fi
nance” fame heard of the announce-
ment of the sale he was at first in-
clined to send hlB agent to the collec-
tor and let him pay the taxes, but on
second thought he decided not to spoil
the fun of the auction. In regard to
the matter Mr. Uwson said to a
friend: “I do hope the city will get
sufficient to pay that $5,500. Other-
wise we would have to throw in a dog
or two."

New York. Sept .11.—The death Hat
of today’s accident on the Ninth ave-
nue elevated railroad, when a car
crowded with early morning workers
on their way down town pitched head-
long into the street, stands at twelve.
Three men are In hospitals with frac-
tured skulls. One of these, who as
yet remains unidentified at Roosevelt
hospital, Is unconscious and not ex-
pected to live. More than two score
of persons were injured, many of
them seriously. The cause of the ac-
cident and the immediate responsibil-
ity remain to be seen. The mutorman
of the wrecked train is a fugitive
while a switchman, conductor anil four
guards are under arrest.
The switchman Is charged with
manslaughter and the trainmen are
held as witnesses.
Switchman's Bond Is $5,000;
Witnesses Ball $100 Each.
Tonight Coroner Scholor, who has
undertaken the work of fixing the
blame for the wreck, announced that
the switchman's bond ha« been placed
at $5,000 and those of the witnesses at
$100 each.
Whatever may have caused the ac
eident, the worst in the history of the
overhead rail road« In New York, came
when a south hound train on Ihe
Ninth avenue Hut* was switched off to
the Sixth avenue line at Fifty-third
street Junction. The motorman ex-
pecting a dear track on the direct tin ■
of the Ninili avenue line, or disregard-
ing the warning signal that the switch
was open, rushed his train along al a
high rate of speed. The first ear swung
around the right angle curve, holding
to the rails because of the weight of
the train behind. Then the strain be-
came'too great. The couplings broke,
the second car was whirled about al
most end for end, and to Ihe horror
of those w*ii looked on from below,
pitched into the street.
The first Indication people on the
sidewalk had of the accident was a
loud rumbling along the overhead
structure.
Looking up they aaw a shower of
sparks. Then followed splinters and
Ihe sound of splitting timbers. Sud-
denly the outer guard rail of the rail-
road structure gave way, a score of
bodies were hurled through space and
with n deafening crash the car fell to
the street, For an Instant It stood
fairly on end. Then the aides gave
way ns If they were made of paste-
board, belching out a mass of human-
ity.
Those passengers who had not
Jumped from platforms and windows
before the plunge came wore thrown
Into a mass at the forward end of
the car. As the Injured men and
women were struggling to free them-
selves the heavy front trucks of the
third car on the train fell across In
their midst as the car tlself jumped
partly off (he elevated structure, and
I was wedged against n building at the
southeast corner ot Ninth avenue and
Fifty-third street.
Nearly Every Ambulance
in Manhattan Is Summoned.
Huge crowds were soon on the
scene, and the first work of Ihe has-
tily summoned police reserves was
directed to clearing away for the ef-
fective rescue of ihe passengers
pinned down by the wreckage, AI
most, every ambulance In Manhattan
was summoned and the Injured and
dead were hurried away with all
speed.
Three alarms of fire brought many
engines to the scene. A slight fire
caused by burning insulation was
quickly extinguished, and the firemen
set to work chopping out the dead
and Injured. The task was not an
easy one, for the heavy car In falling
had almost completely hurled pedes-
trians In Its wreckage
At least one was killed outright In
this way, while policeman Henry Alt
kens, who was standing directly un-
der the elevated structure, Is among
those most seriously Injured,
Eight persons were dead when
taken out of the wreck, and four died
later at hospitals.

Before the great crowds collected
by the new's of the wreck could he
cleared away the police were com-
pelled to use their heavy night sticks
on a number of men who were at-
tempting to snatch jewelry or other
valuables from the victims. The offi-
cers had no time to make arrests, con-
tenting themselves with drubbing the
miscreants as heavily as they could.
Motorman Kelly Flees
and Canr.ot Be Found.
Coroner Schuler ordered the arrests
of all those Immediately concerned.
Search was at, once made for the inn-
format), Paul Kelly, who secured a
position on the elevated linos six
months ago.
He came here from St. Louis. Kelly
could not he found and al a lute hour
tonight-was still missing.
Two versions of the cnitRe of the
wreck were told to the coroner. One
of these was that the switchman had
set the tracks for a Sixth avenue train
and when he saw his mistake had at
tempted to rectify It. while the train
was on the curve, the chunge throwing
the second, third and fourth cars off
the track.
The switchman, however declares
the wrecked (rain had a Sixth avenue
signal set and he expected It to slow
down to take the curve. Instead it
maintained the speed usual with Ninth
avenue trains on the direct line.
The curve at Fifty-third street Is a
sharp one and is practically mibanked.
according to statements made today.
It Is intended to he taken slowly and
Is not constructed for a higher rate of
spcod than six miles an hour.
Conductor Johnson this afternoon
made a detailed statement to Police
Inspector Wood. Ho said:
"1 was on the first platform of the
second car We hmi just left Thirty-
ninth street and were going ai a fair
rate of speed.
"When wo reached the curve the
first car went on and the second and
third cars went together like a Jack-
knife, sticking right, up In the air and
practically closing against each other,
“In consequence, from where I wuh,
on ihe front platform of the second
car at the stnrt, 1 was dropped to the
rear platform of the first car. Then
the second car dropped to the street,.
I held on (o the Iron rail like death
and was straight up In the air. I saw
gills ami women climbing over both of
the cars (hat they might escape.
"Being an old railroader, I pulled
out my watch anil looked at II. It was
exactly 7:06 n m The signals were
set wrong. That was the trouble.
They were set green and yellow,
which is for a Sixth avenue train,”
Ball was necepled for all the rail-
road men under ariosi tonight
