RAILROAD ACCIDENT IN JERSEY CITY.

hhlLhOhO dVOlOCN1 AN SGnoG% VII =
At ten minutes past seven o'clock yes
terday morning the train dispatcher Of
the Pennsylvania railroad company in
Jersey City ordered danger signals to be
displayed between the depot and Ber-
gen Cut, to enable the train carrying
the workmen to be switched from sid
ing in the yard, across the inward-bound
track to the outward bound. Some of
the fagmen obeyed, others did not, and
Midland railway train from Wykoff
came in at good speed, through the
fog, expecting clear track. as it was
on time. When the Midland engineer
saw the other engine coming out from
the siding he reversed his engine. but
was so close that it did no good, the
wheels slipping on the wet rails.
The Pennsylvania engineer seeing
that he could not back on the siding,
tried to save his engine by driving it
across the track, but was not successful.
The incoming train went through the
workmen's train and smashed the loco
motive. Both engines were very much
damaged. The workmen were on flat
cars at the rear of the train and jumped
off, only two out of two hundred being
injured. None of the passengers were
hurt. One of the injured men was
thrown between the bunkers and re-
ceived internal injuries which will pro-
baby prove fatal. He was removed to
the City Hospital, and after several
hours was enabled to speak. His name
is Rudolph Stein. He is German,
employed by the Railroad Company as
painter, and resides in Railroad ave-
nue.. Jersey City. The other man was
Christopher Brady, an Irishman, who
had the skin scraped from his legs from
the knees down. Travel was delayed
several hours.

In nunneries, it is not at all uncommon,
from the secluded life. and the attention be-
ing fixed upon one subject, one particular
set of ideas and fcclings-the want of a
healthy vent. so to speak, for the mental ac-

has developed itself. For instance, in one
nunncry abroad, many years ago, one of the
Youngest nuns began to new like cat; all
the others did the same. In another nun
nerv. one began to bite, and the others were
all affected with the propensity to bite In
