' IIonoicitN , Jan. in. About two miles from
Iloboken and a few hundred feet from the
drawbridge across tlio Haekensack river : it
B-lMthis morning , the Ornn | , ' accommoda
tion crashed into the rear or tlio Dover ex
press on the Morris & Kssox branch of ttio
Delaware , Lackawanmi & Western road.
The BCCIIO of the accident Is on
n long meadow through which
Hews the Haokcnsacit river. At
cast nine llws paid the penalty of r.r.mo
one's carelessness and the list o ( known In
jured Is thirty-seven , all of whom will prob
ably die.
So far as learned one cause of the accident
was the heavy fog which prevailed.
VtVII Killed with riisjoiiKers.
Doth trains \vcro well Oiled with passen
gers on their way to their daily avocations
and it sconm a miracle the 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 liuvo done likewise ,
failed to talto this precaution and crashed
into thu rear of the preceding train.
The last car on the express was
a combination baggage and smolccr and
Into this plunged the huge engine , .putting
throimh tlio woodwork and sending splinters
In all directions with a force that showed
the tremendous speed at which the train was
traveling. The coach ahead of the smoker
was telescoped and the roof torn out and tie !
cats torn and twisted as though made of
paper. The roof was thrown ahead and
partially telescoped the third coach.
for a moment the passengers did not re-
ilizei 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 occurred ,
Wnrlc of Itesunu Hegim.
Those who were not injured were quickly
nt work rescuing their less fortunate follow
passengers. Along the track the dead and
dying and wounded lay strewn. Some of
thorn had rolled to the bottom of the flftcen-
foot ombankincut oil which the accident oc
curred. A short distance from the
cone was r. railroad telegraph oflico and
from this a hurried call was sent for assist-
unco. Hclief trains were immediately
started , and almost before the passengers on
the wrceKed train had realized the situa
tion , they had arrived and a crowd had al
ready gathered.
Aml'mlances and physicians were also sent
by the police from both Jersey City and
liobolcon. . The first six bodies recovered
wore of men. The engine of the Orange
local , which was Unowu as No. IK ) , was hard
and fast in the debris of the rear car , and
had pinned down several victims , a few of
whom were released by the use of crowbars
\
und axel.
In the smoker every seat was occupied and
It Is estimated that of the forty passengers
In the car not one escaped uninjured.
After a few minutes something like order
was followed in the work of rescue
and the victims v.-ero rapidly taken
out from ainongat the twisted iron
nid splintered timbers. The dead wore
so 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 wracking train arrived , such
heavy purls as could bo easily removed
were lifted from the track unit then
the work of rescue was soon completed.
The wounded ami dead were 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 bulk of the
wounded who wereunaulo logo homo were
taltcn to the hospitals , whllo the dead were
taken to the morgues to await Identification.

Qrixcr , III. , Jan. 15. [ Special Telegram
to THE Iii ! ! : . | An important trial was held
In the Prc.-tbyteri.in church last wcolt upon
which the Jury is now deliberating. Miss
Cornelia Collins , a young woman who occu
pies a prominent position in the social cir
cles and wlmso mnnv acts of charity have
made her loved throughout the city , is tlio
defendant. She is accused of wilfully slan
dering Rov. ,1. D. Black , accusing the ciders
of falsehood , resorting to methods for"tho
removal of Rov. Air. Black contrary to tlio
teachings of noly scripture and the princi
ples and practices of the church , and main
taining an unchristian spirit toward the pas
tor , to the serious disturbance of the peace
and harmony of membership.
Dr. Black presided as moderator at the
trial , which lasted during a good portion of
five nights , and had the opportunity of run-
niiis the proccedincs to suit himself. J. M.
It-win acted as prosecutor and the young
woman was present in her own defense us no
one was allowed to be present except these
directly interested.
In his argument last Saturday nip lit
Irwin urged the jury not to be influenced by
the defendant's standing in the community ,
or by her reputation in ' , ho church , or wh.it
her family had done for Mm church , but to
look at the crime and judgoaccordlngly.
Miss Collins spoke for an hour und ten
minutes describing the condition of the
church as showing her motive and rovlcwcd
the evidence to show her Justification , but in
closing said that she dr.l not expect justice
in such a trial and that she scorned to uslc
Justice as a woman.
Mr. Irwin then took tlio floor again and
said ttiat he had expected to nsk them to be
loninnt , but in view of tlio defendant's re
marks reflecting on the jury of ciders , ho
hoped they would punish her to the full extent -
tent of the law , which Is excommunication.
Charges have also been preferred against
Mr. and Mrs. J. Stewart , also prominent and
well known people , for the part they took
with Miss Collins in trying to have Dr.
Blade removed.
The Presbyterians own the handsomest
edifice In the city. Arrangements are beinc
made for the meeting of the congregation ,
and in the meantime Miss Collins awaits
the decision of the elders , with a statement
that slio has ' -only done what every true
member of the church should do , tried to
build it up and get It back on its own firm
ground. "

or bhiirp I'riictlcn.
KANSAS CmJan. . 1R. What looks like a
clgantlo and barefaced swindle was this
afternoon unearthed when ' Dr. J. B. Lafeyth ,
a capitalist and well kno'wn broker of this
city , swore to a complaint before Justice of
the Peace J. H. Worthen , charging C. D.
Martin , formerly of Fort Worth , Tex. , and
later of Denver , with obtaining goods to the
value of fll.OOO from him under false pre
tenses. Martin's bail has been placed SI.GOO.
After considerable running around unionir
acquaintances Martin was unable to give
bond and was locked up in the county jail to
await a hearing next Monday.
According to the statement of Dr. Lafoyth.
ho was introduced to a man named J. M
Wylio In tlio latter part of October last. A
few days later , ho alleges , Wiloy introduced
him to Martin with the statement that
Martin was possessed of untolu wealth.
Ho says that Wylio told him that Martin
owned a ranch in Tox.is and a hotel in Den
ver , Martin told him ho had lJii."i ( acres of
land frco and clear of tiicumbranco in Archer
county , Texas , which ho would trade for any
thing good. Lafoytli said ho had n stock of
notions invoiced to him at $11,000 which ho
wanted to dispose of. According to agree
ment Dr. Lafi'vth says lie mot Wyllo and
Martin in a room In the Midland
hotel and there agreed to transfer the stock
of notions and l.ltiU acres of Missouri land
for the 1.00.-I aerosol' Texas I'lud and'J,400 in
promisory notes , and tlio trade was made.
Martin , he says , shipped the notions to Dal
las , Tux. , and afterward to Bonham , Tox. ,
ami when ho found that the notes were
worthless ] he began making inquiries about
the Texas land.
A few days ago ho received a letter from
the county clnrk of Archer county telling
him that the land was mortgaged for f I'-.UOJ.
Hosayuho confronted Martin with these
facts and Martin told him the goods were In
Dallas , Tex. Ho has bonn nnahlo to locate
the goods and upon Inquiry he says ho has
found that Martin and Wylio entered into a
conspiracy to rob him. Martin will malfo no
statement in the matter.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 15. )
There Is no doubt that a most profound
Impression Is being made upon even the
rabid free trade democrats in congress by
the flood of petitions coming In from tlio
farmers and wage earners of the country
against the passage of the Wilson
tariff bill. Away out in 'remote parts
of the country , where the farmer
or laborer may magnify the inde
pendence of the man In congress and his
general greatness , It may occur to humble
and honest minds that a simple request
signed by n number of plain farmers or
hard working men in tlio village in opposi
tion to a measure would have llttlo effect
upon the great Intellect of a great states
man in such a high body as
congress. There could bo no greater mis
take. It is true that a , man in
congress has Immense reverence for the
politician , the merchant or banker or other
person with capital and labor at his com
mand , but when it comes right down to the
line point of influence there is no person in
tliis wide world who can in a liumblo way
wield as much Influence as the farmer or the
laboring man.
It has been the custom of democratic poli
ticians , especially these who have been for
tunate cnoiigh to get into congress , to claim
that petitions against a low tariff emanated
from manufacturers and capitalists , and
they have been prone to heretofore contend
that the work of laborers against a low
tariff was the result of intimidation by em
ployers. But the present avalanche of pro
tests from humble , but honest and Intelli
gent , cltuens against the adoption of the
iniquitous and destructive KnL'Hsh meas
ure , known us the Wilson tariff bill ,
has hushed almost every intimation
of coercion and capitalistic inlluence. A few
democrats have been reckless cnoush to ex
press the opinion that intimidation had been
exercised in securing petitions against the
Wilson bill , but in private they have ac
knowledged that the opinion was only for
ttio public and was not honest.
Appenls Irom Holiest Tollers.
Some of i the petitions which are ai riving
in opposition to the Wilson bill are
pitiful in simplicity of statement
and sentiment. Tliev are written in the
most simple language , by hands unfamiliar
with tlio pen. upon postal cards or llttlo bits
ot paper taken from the flyleaf ! ) of books.
They tell of how the writers supported Un
democratic ticket last year under the im
pression that better times would como , and
how instead their employment has left them ,
and they are without work and without
broad. They beg their friends in congress
to hasten actionif uetion is to bo taken.on the
Wilson bill , but to vote against it on its final
passage and save the industries of tlio coun
try. Other protests against thn Wilson
bill come In the form of long petitions , signed
in the plain handwriting of the hard work
ing man. Many of the signatures have been
attested by the cross which siguilies that the
man bearing the name , although unable to
write , is intelligent cnougii to know why he
is out of employment , why his family is suf
fering for bread , aml.that ho desires the defeat - /
feat of a bill which proposes to transfer his
employment to British bounds. )
Some of the Introductory remarks upon
petitions are enough t molt the heart
of tlio most insane free trader
who lias any patriotism about him.
They depict the dcplorablo fcominorclal
conditions , tell of the largo army out of em
ployment , and of the suffering which
abounds. All of this is laid at the door of
the policy which has been adopted by the
party in power.
Most of thcso petitions specify that the
duty proposed by the Wilson bill upon a
certain article which tlio signers are en
gaged in manufacturing is so low that it
will destroy their means of support.
Tno men who have prepared these
petitions and attached their signa
tures know more about the condition of the
trade in which they are engaged than any
body etso. Who would not prefer the judg
ment of a man who had worked thirty or
forty years as an iron puddler or .1 glass
blower , on u question of effect of a proposed
law , to the theory o ( n man who never oven
saw an iron furnace or a building in which
glass was made !
Not AH See the
Many of these petitions are laid away in
the desks of thn men who receive them , and
they are never presented to the committee
having in charge thu questions at issue f but
most of them are formally presented in tlio
house and brought to the notice of that body.
A good many of the democrats are ashamed to
have it known that they arc ndvocatimr a
party theory which Is so hostllo to and so
strongly and universally opposed by tholr
constituents. But there is not the slightest ,
doubt that every postal card , every letter -
tor , petition and moirorial sent hero in
opposition to the Wilson bill sets the
recipient to thinking and niakcj aa Impres
sion upon him which will bo shown in some
manner at some stage of the tarilT proceed
ings.A .
A report was circulated at tlio capitol
today to the effect that the llzht made upon
tlio nomination of Justice Hornblower was
backed by an important deal bearing upon
the tariff bill. It was stated that a number
of democratic senators who were lighting
Hornblowur's nomination intended to join
the republican forces In tholr warfare upon
the Wilson tariff bill , and that unless many
important amendments were to bo made to
that measure it would bo defeated upon Its
final passage.

Hio i > r. JAXntuo , Jan. IB.TUn engagement
between the rebel vessel Guanabara , sup
ported by the guns of Cobras Island , on Sat
urday last , when that small warship at
tacked tin ; povormiiL'iit position along the
shore , was very hot while It lasted. The
Guanabara had the best of the light , run
ning close in shore and making very effective
use of nor guns , which caused the trovcrn-
ment forces to retire from their posi
tions , leaving a number of dead and
wounded behind thorn. 1'elxoto's offi
cers , while the Guanabara was within
easy distance of the shore , suddenly made
nn attack UJMII her by.mo.ins of a number of
small boats lilted with troops. Hut this
movement was unsuccessful , as the Gtian-
abara opened such a deadly iiro upon thorn
that she easily bt > at oil the boarding partli-a ,
killing a number of soldiers who manned the
small craft.
As In all th 3o engagements , it is difllcult
to gut at the right facts In regard to the
number killed and wounded , but the rebels
claim tlut it lo.ist 100 of 1'elxoto's troops
were killed or wounded during the attack
made upon the Guanabara by the small
boats , and that probably as many more were
Killed and wounded during the rebel ship's
attack upon the land batteries. On thu other
hand , the government reports say that the
losses during Saturday's action were trivial
and that the insurgent report of tlio nujnbcr
killed und wounded is grossly exaggerated.

made a scries of visits and arrested a num
ber of nihilists , It is also said that many
Russians of all classes are now shadowed by

BniiLiN , Jan. IB. In the Reichstag today
Dr. Miquel , minister of finance , said that
the necessity of an increase of the imperial
revenue was not recognized. Tlio reduction
of the customs rovcnuo. ho added , amounted
to 35.000,000 marks , and practical counter
proposals were made. Against the tobacco
bill It was suggested that the essential point
was that the imperial charges should not bo
shifted upon the shoulders of the individual
states , for it was claimed the empire must
r.ither give than be perpetually asking.
HCIT Richter said the bill would simply
mean the death of the tobacco Industry.
After iom1) discussion the tabicco tax
bill was referred to the stamp tax commit
