Result of 2 Collision Between a Cable Car and a Baker's Wagon, There was an exciting collision about 8: o'clock this morning at 10th street and New York avenue between a Columbia railway cable ear and a baker's wagon, driven by John Carroll of 227 G street northwest. Two cars were approaching the crossing simultaneously, and Mr. Carroll attempted to cross the tracks. The car going east came to a standstill, hut the one moving west, which was No. 24, failed to stop, and Lefore the driver af the wagon could stop struck the horse violently. The horse was not seriously hurt, however, and the car sustained a twisted fender only. Matters were straightened, out, in a few moments and traffic proceeded ag usual. Mr, Carroll escaped without injury. —_—_—._—_ er Depredations. Lamoréux has received no information of the operations of Special Agent Brockenboréugh in California, but says that the report of his seizing timber no doubt true, as he has been working in that direction for some time. Th Commi. ner The commissioner says that the worst timber depredations the department has to contend with are in the mining districts, where the law allows timber to be cut for mining purposes. One charge, he said, is that Marcus Daly, the manager of the Ana- conda mini property in Montana, has eut about 0,000 feet of timber. The commissioner has recommended in his an- nual report that the law permitting timber to be cut for mining purposes be repealed, and that the forests of these regions be put under a forestry system. + + A Sale of Property.

Dr. Savage Says That is the Mission of Unitarians, Closing Sessions of the National Con- ference—Other Interesting Addrennex Made. The great Unitarian conference came to an end last evening after a most successful series of meetings. The intellectual char- acter of the men and women who read papers as well as the nature of the subjects discussed lent the meetings an interest which was not confined to the Unitarian de- nomination by any means. There were public meetings at Metzerott Hall yesterday afternoon and evening, and both were attended by large audiences, The first paper of the afternoon was by Prof. Francis G. Peabody of Cambridge, Mass., on the subject “The History and Principles of the Unitarian Church in Relation to So- cial Problems.” Prof. Peabody's essay was a carefully prepared resume of the devel- opments of the Unitarian Church, which had its origin as a protest against both the lim- itations and the extravagance of eee’ It took form under the guidance of W. Channing. Mrs. Spencer’s Address. This paper was followed by an address by Mrs. Anna Garlin Spencer of Providence, R. L, who spoke on the modern applications of these principles. She showed how they applied to sociai problems, which she divided into two classes; those pertaining to charity and those pertaining to reform. She defined charity as the attempt to make the evil con- ditions of life tolerable, and reform as the attempt to remove these conditions by a proper adjustment of the relations of life. The subject of this address was then thrown open for general discussion, which was led by Rev. Joseph H. Crooker of Helena, Mont., and Rev. Paul Revere Frothingham of New Bedford, Mass. Others who took part in the discussion were Commissioner Carroll D. Wright and Rev. Alexander Kent of the Peo- ple’s Church of this city. At the conclusion of the discussion Mr. Wright introduced a resolution, which was adopted, expressing an appreciation of the sood accomplished by organization of young people, and urging upon all the churches of the denomination the desirability of form- ing some sort of young people’s society. Reception at the Arlington. At the conclusion of the afternoon session the officers of the national alliance of Uni- tarian and other Christian women held a public reception in the parlors of the Ar- lington, which were tastefully decorated for the occasion. Almcst all the members of the alliance and others attending the na- tional conference were among the guests that crowded the parlors from 4 to 7 o'clock. Mrs. B. Ward Dix of Brooklyn,the president of the alliance, received ‘the guests. She was assisted by Mrs. Mary B. Davis of New York, Mrs. George L. Chaney of Atlanta, Mrs. John Chadwick of Brook- lyn, Mrs. Emily A. Fifield of Dorchester, Mass., and Mrs. Hodgson of Arlington, Mass. The Evening Session. The evening session was presided over by Rev. Rush R. Shippen, until recently the pastor of All Souls’ Church. He made a brief address of welcome, in which he spoke of the appropriateness of holding such a national convention in Washington, and re- ferred to the many advantages that ac- erued from having such a meeting at the national capital. He expressed the appre- ciation of the conference to the local press for the admirable reports which had been printed of the sessions of the conference, and said that it was his opinion that the conference would be the means of giving to the Unitarian cause a great impetus. The subject for the evening was “The Outlook,” and the addresses that were made were in- tended to consider the opportunities and responsibilities in~ which* the’ Church finds itself today. The advance which liberal thought has made in recent years was spoken of, and special emphasis was laid upon the fact that two members of the Unitarian Church have recently been appointed lecturers at the Catholic Uni- versity of America. Addresses on the sub- ject of the evening were made by Mr. Horace G. Wadlin, commissioner of labor of the state of Massachusetts; Rev. S. C. Calthrop of Syracuse, N. Y.; Mr. Carroll D. Wright of this city, and Rev. J. Minot Savage of Boston. Mission of Unitarians, ir. Savage delivered the conference ser- mon Monday evening, and was also the one chosen to speak the closing words of the conference. In concluding his address he said that all the great truths of the world ure in harmony with rational religion, and the meetings of this conference might well be regarded as making the beginning of a new era. The mission of Unitarians is to offer freedom to humanity. They must themselves, however, have deep convictions on the truth of their religion. He would finally urge them to take hold of the out- look, and God Himself would quickly 2id them in consolidating their forces into a compact and solid body, working for the spread of the truth of God and His right- eousness. ‘The addresses were followed by a hymn sung by the gathering, and the conference came to an end with an earnest benediction pronounced by Rev. George Batchelor of Cambridge, Mass., the chairman of the council. nd Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds 11 fee have been file? as follows: Julius A.

Simpson, Simon Wolf and y Birge a special committee to confer with the District Commissioners, Chief Par- ris and Assessor Trimble and ask co-opera- tion in securing better fire protection for the city and an official supervision of in- surance business in the District. The com- mittee will meet early next week and call on the Cormissioners-and Assessor Trim- ble, and make a report of the result of their conference at the next regular meet- ing of the association. An effort will be made to secure adequate legislation from Congress this winter on the matter of fire protection and legitimate in- surance. SSS IGNORED TWO SIGNALS. A Locomotive Engineer's Strange Ne~ glect Causes a Disaster. A rearend collision occurred on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad at Hyde Park, Mass., last evening, in which Brakeman G. M. Austin was killed, Mrs. William Ross of Cambridge fatally injured and twelve other passengers, including Con- gressman Elijah A. Morse, were more or less seriously hurt. The regular Mansfield accommodation train, due in Boston at 5:47, was just leav- ing the Hyde Park station ten minutes late when the New London and Providence ex- press, due in Boston at 6:10, came running cown from Canton Junction on a perfectly straight track and crashed into the rear of the Mansfleld train. The engine of the Providence train plowed into the end car for a distance of five or six feet and caused this car to telescope the one ~ ahead. Between these cars was Brakeman Austin, who was caught and remained jam- med in the wreck for nearly an hour. General Superintendent Allen said: “En- gineer Burnham must have deliberately run by two electric block als showing red lights, one of which is ji north of the Readville station and the other south of the Hyde Park station. Besides this the rear lights on the Mansfield train were burning, so there can be no excuse for Burnham's Pegiigence.”"- The track was cleared within an hour after © the accident, and the loss to thé road is es- timated at not over $2,000. All the passengers who were injured were in the rear car, with the exception of Mr. Rines. Congressman Morse was not seriously in- jured, and returned home after his hands and arms were dressed. —_____.9o—___ Census of Prussia. Prussia has just completed a census, and some of the results are given in a report to the State Department by United States Con- sul General De Kay at Berlin. The entire population June 14 last was 31,491,209, an in- crease of 1,535,928, or 5.13 per cent since December, 1890. The males increased 773,- 051 and the females, 762,877. In Berlin the increase of females was especially marked, being two and one-half times that of men. One of the surprises of the new census was the small increase of Berlin's population, all the more startling, owing to the unprecedent- ed increase of Berlin for the years between 1870 and 1890. It was only 36,288, or 2.2 per cent for the past four and one-half years. The census shows a continuance of the move- ment toward cities from the country, in which Berlin had not her usual share. = SS Inspection of IDinois Mines, Gov. Altgeld of Mlinois recently appointed seven state mine inspectors and yesterday he summoned them before him, gave them their commissions and then made the fol- lowing talk to them regarding their duties. ‘The governor said: “The mining laws of this state were en- acted for the protection of the weak and poor. The operator, who is strong, can take care of himself. These coal miners are sometimes ignorant of their rights, al- Ways poor and dependent and cannot man- ifest their dissatisfaction with objection- able conditions prevailing around the mines without risking their jobs. You are, there- fore, appointed by the state to do for them what they cannot do for themselves. I therefore insist that In inspecting mines you do so without permitting the opera- tors or their representatives to accompany sae ———_ —+0+ The Fastest Regular Train. The fastest regular train ever run in the world, taking distance into consideration, will begin making its daily trips Tuesday evening, October 29. It will leave Chicago at 6 p.m. and will reach Los Angeles, Cal., on Friday at 6 p.m., making the run of 2,265 miles in seventy-five hours, allowing for the difference in time. 2oo--—____ + Duel to the Death In Texas. Sidney Lane, a Southern Pacific brakeman, started out yesterday at Houston, Texas, pistol in hand, to hunt Conductor C. H. Neville. The latter had been warned, and, when he saw Lane, opened fire on him. Lane returned the fire, and a desperate duel en- sued. Neville was struck three times and died in an hour, Lane was hit twice, and will die. After firing five shots each the men clinched and beat each other over the head and face with their pis- tols in a horrible manner. Neville refused to let Lane run on his train because he dis- obeyed orders. so Maxwell Land Grant Company Wins.
