WAS A VEIL OF DEATH Thick Fog and Carelessness Responsible for the Loss of Many Lives. ANOTHER RAILROAD HORROR RECORDED Terrible Accident on the Morris & Eseex Road in New Jersoy. TRAINS COME TOGETHER IN COLLISION o:nes While the Work of Resou Was Going O Aronizi ‘\'NE VICTIMS TAKEN FROM THE WRECK Over pple Serlously Injured, Many ot Whom W Thirty 1 r How the Aw:ul Aftair a-Trylng Place the Responsibility. Happe Honokey, Jan, 15.—About two miles from Hovoken and a few hundred feet from the Hackansuack river ay Orang drawbridge across the 8:20 this morning, the tion crashed mto the press on the Morris & I3 Delaw: anna The s long accommodi: vof the Dover ex- ox branch of the & Western road accident is on through which flows the ek miver. At cast nine lives the penalty of some ne's carelessness and the list of known in fured is thirty-seven, all of whom will prob ably die. i So far as learned one cause of the accident was the heavy fog which prevailed. Well led with Passengers. Both trains were well filled with passen- s on their way to their daily avocations aud it seens a miracle tho death list was not increased many fold. ‘The Dover express had slowed up to make sure the drawbridge was all right. The Orange accommodation engineer, who should have done likewise, failed to take this precaution and crashed into the rear of the preceding train. The last car on the express was & combination bagguge and smoker and Into this plunged the huge engine, eutting through the woodwork und sending sprinters In all directions with a force thut stowed the trementous speed at which the wain was traveling. The conch ahead of the smoker was telescoped and the roof torn out and seats torn and twisted as though made of paper. The roof was thr ahead and partiaily telescoped the third coach. For a moment the p engers did not re- alizes the awful situation, but in the next the shrieks of the wounded and dying and the noise of escaping steam told them an awful calamity had oceurred, Work of Kescue Begun. Those who were not injured were quickly at work rescuing their less fortunate fellow passengers. Along the track the dead and dying and wounded lay strewn. Some of thein had rolled to the bottom of the fifteen- foot embankment on which the accident oc- curred. A short distance from the scene was & railroad telegraph office and from this a hurried call was sent for assist- snce. Relief trains were immediately started, and almost before the passengers on the wreeked train had realized the situa- tion, they had arrived and a crowd had al ready gathered, Ambulances and physicians were also sent by the police from both Jersey City and Hoboken.. The first six bodies recovered were of men. The engine of the Orange local, which was known as No. #3, was hard and fast in the debris of the reur car, und had pinned down several victims, a few of whom were released by the use of crowbars und axes. In the smoker every seat was occupied and 1t is estimated that of the forty p: engers in the car not one escaped uninjured, After a fow minutes something like order was followed in the work of rescue and tho vietims were rapidly take out from amongst the twisted iron ayd splintered timbers. The dead were 80 covered with dust and blood that it was almost impossible to identify them. The cries and moans of the injured were terrible. As soon as the wrecking train arrived, such heavy paris as could be easily removed were lifted from the track and then the work of rescue was soon completed T'he wounded and dead wero placed on the train and taken to Jersey City, where many friends and relatives who had heard of the accident had already gathered. Ambulances were in readiness, and the bullk of th wounded who were unablo to go home wer taken Lo the hospitals, while the dead were taken to the morgues to await identitication. List of the Dead.

B, Lafeyth, a capitalist and well known broker of this city, swore toa_complaint before Justice of the Peace J. H. Worthen, charging C. D. Martin, forerly of Fort Worth, Tex., and later of Denver, with obtaining goods to the value of #3,000 from him under false pre- ten Martin's bail bas_beea placed $1,500, After considerable running around umong acquaintances Martin was unable to give boad and was lo up iu the county Jail to await a bearing next Monday Accordiugz to the statement of Dr, Lafeyth he was introduced toa man named J.

Lafeyth said he had a stock of otions invoiced to him at $11,000 which he wanted to dispose of. According to agl ment Dr. Lafevth says he met Wylie and Martin 1 a room in the Midland hotel and there greed to transfer the stock of notions and 1,160 acres of Missouri land for the 1,665 acres of Texas biud and $2,400 in promisory notes, and t trade was made.

The amendments do not chuuge the general scope of the measure und are devoted mainly to minor corrections which have appearea to be necessary as @& result of the discussion. Messrs, Reed, Burrows, Dalzeli, Payne and Hapkins, the repab- lican members of 1 the committee, held a party conference. today and de on making a demand for the reco, the republican amendments to the Wilson bill. This action was due to the report that Richarason of Tennessed, who will be fn the chair during the cousidefation of the amend- ments, would recognize only Mr. Wilson for his amendmants, The plan’ agreed upon by the republican leadersiwis that immediately after Mr. Wilson's ameadments on tobacco are disposed of Mr. Byrdows will insist that Mr. Wilson has no more right than any other member of the hoase. Hawill urge that Mr, Wilson is not acting for the full ways and means committee, and.that the democratic amendments have not been submitted to the republicans.

GERMANY'S TANATION SCHEME. It 1s StHl Mecting with Mach Opposition In the Rechslng. Benuiy, Jan. 15.—In the Reichstag today Dr. Miquel, mimster of finance, sald that the necessity of an increase of the imperial revenue was not recogmzed. The reduction of the customs revenue, he added, amounted 10 35,000,000 mark: and vractical counter proposals were made. Against the tobacco bill it was su ted that the essential point was that the imperial charges should not be shifted upon the shoulders of the individual states, for it was claimed the empire must rather give than be perpetually asking. Herr' Richter said the bill would simply mean tho death of the tobaceo industry. After soms discussion the tabacco tax bill was referred to the stamp tax commit- tee in spite of the opposition of the radicals, south Germans, people’s party and social- ists. The incident at the banquet of the Com- ress on Friday last, which caused Dr. Miquel to leave the hall i anger after being criticised, hus been settled by a ctory_explanation which was fur- s to Dr. Miquel by the president of congress.
