commodate delegates to the Democratic State

with passengers, consisted of an engine, freight
car, smoking car, and three passenger cars.

waited at Hallowell, but it did not. There was
sharp curve at the point where the engines
met Persons in the fields saw the approaching
trains and attempted to signal them, but with
out success.
The Shock was Terrible,
and the engines were demolished. There was
steep embankment at the point where the
trains met. and there would have been terrible
loss of life If the cars had been thrown over.
Fortunately they were not, although the freight
car on the down train was wrecked. The seats
& of the passenger car on the up train were all
torn from their fastenings. There were a dozen
passengers on board, half of whom were badly
jammed and otherwise injured.
The Casualties
are Daniel Berry, engineer of the mixed train.

and severely cut and scalded, will not live; Jo-

Special Despatch to The Evening Teleoraph
PRINCETON, Nj, June 2S.-This morning
the closing exercises of commencement week
at the College of New Jersey took place. The
attendance of strangers was equal to that on
any previous occasion, but several of the nota-
bilities who were present yesterday including
President Grant, did not remain to attend the
exercises of to-day. During the past year there
have been 372 students In attendance at the
college, number fully equal to the usual at
tendance in the days before the war; The
Freshman class was unusually large, embracing
1O7 members. The Sophomore class numbered
81 the Junior class 81, and the Senior class rs.
Among the whole number of students New
Jersey and Pennsylvania were equally repre-
sented, each State contributing 101. New York
sent AZ; Maryland, 25; and Ohio, 49, From the
Southern States, from which such large pro-
portion of the students formerly came, there
were 70 present during the past year. Under
the presidency of DR.. McCosh, Princeton Col
lege has been taking rapid strides, and has fairly
resumed its old position among the leading in
stitutions of the country. Reunion Hall, the
new dormitory, is almost completed, and will
be ready for occupation next fall. 1t is a COM

This morning the delegates to the Democratic
city conventions, selected by the various ward
conventions yesterday, met at the places as
signed them by the City Executive Committee,
to make their nominations for candidates to fill
the city offices that will be vacant at the close
of this year. In order to harmonize the dis
cordant elements of the party, and to make as
strong front against the Republicans in this
falls contest as possible, the leaders of the
RDemocracy some time since inaugurated series
of Starr Chamber meetings. at which they fixed
Eup a slate that would take with their own peo-
|sple and receive commendation from their
|topponents; the consequence of which was,
that in majority of the conventions, the pro
ceedings were a mere ceremony to decently
n achieve a result that was already foregone
! conclusion. But, in other conventions, there
! was a factious opposition to some portions of
1the slate as arranged in this Chamber, and
fthe opposing delegates resorted to those schemes
Iof fraud, chicanery, and violence that invaria-
bly, signalize the determined efforts of the
"Unterri6ed." The conventions which pro-
missed considerable excitement were the City
Treasurers, City Solicitors, and Prothonotary's.
Whether the prophecy was fulfilled our annexed
reports will show. The selection of Bidde for
the Mayoralty and Mr.. Sheppard for the District
Attorneyship was generally expected, and these
gentlemen waited in ante-rooms to the conyen-
lions, with their well-digested thanks and words
of cheer and burning eloquence transcribed and
slowed in their pockets, to be handy when they
were 'called in" We give below accurate ac-
counts of the proceedings in all the conven-

Alderman James McColgan having been dele
gated by the City Executive Committee orga-
nized the convention by the appointment of
James Fleet and James O'Neilf as temporary
doorkeepers, and William Mente and N. II.
Stafford as temporary secretaries.
After all the credentials had been received,
two motions we're made to take a recess one for
fifteen minutes and the other for half an hour.
Some confusion here ensued, but the chair
decided the former as carried. On reassembling
two delegates from the Eleventh ward, having
no credentials requested half hours grace in
order that they might go after them. The chair
refused to entertain the proposition, and mo-
ton was made to take recess for half an hour.
Upon this the yeas and nays were called and it
was lost.
The convention then went into ballot for
permanent officers, with the following result

John Tobin, E. r. Worrell, Alexander Diamond;
