Railroad Accident.

.t1a NEW YORK. Feb. 8. a
The details of the Railroad accident near
Bloomfield, N. j., state that the train broke
through a rotten bridge. Some of the cars
fell into the creek, and one was completely
shattered against the stone foundation Of the
bridge. -
One man was killed, as before stated, Milton
Holt, of Mount Clair, Those injured were
Jos. Davis of Bloomfield, very seriously; Jos.
DOreumus, of Mount Clair, severely bruised
Van Wyck Graham, Teller of the Phoenix
Bank, head injured; Mr.. Bradigan, of Mount
Clair, bruised in the head, and g. s. Arbuth-
not, Conductor, severely bruised. Many others
were hurt, but not seriously. The cor0ner's
jury are investigating the affair. =,
The train consisted of the engine and four
passenger cars, and baggage and smoking car.
The train was running at high rate of speed
down grade of ninety feet. Though the en-
CINE was breaking up to stop at Bloomfield,
the speed carried the engine over the bridge.
The tender was caught and somewhat injured.
The bridge broke under passenger car. The
swiftness of the train and the couplings of the
tender dragged the rest of the car to solid
ground. The second passenger car was hnrled
endwise- from the track, striking the stone
abutment of the bridge, and was wrecked.-
The baggage car, which was next, fell into the
creek. The other two cars remained partly on
the bridge and partly on the track. The bridge
was only forty feet long. e q CAa
/ Young Hollis head was severed from his
body, and the remains were terribly maneled.
1t is miraculous that nobody else in the second
car was killed. .iiB5 E-As

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.
The colored delegations who waited on the
President yesterday, have published reply to
his remarks, prepared since the Interview
They call attention to what they consider his
.sunsound views" on the question Of enfran-
chisement. They admit the hostility Of the
poor whites at the South to blacks, and say it
is reciprocal. This enmity was, they say, in
cited by the slave master, who thus secured an
ascendency over both whites and blacks. The
poor whites were the slave, catchers, the slave
drivers and overseers. The cause of hatred
being removed by the abolition of slavery the
effect must also be removed Peace between
the races is only to be obtained by equal JUS
tice between all classes. They also oppose his
views on the subject of colonization. 10 1919
