THE RECENT RAILWAY HORROR
Collision on a South Side Railroad
List Of the Killed and Injured.

/ - u NaI AAAAAEA NenA nNuEEAs
NEW YORK, July 6.-At 2 o'clock this
afternoon collision occurred on the South
Side Railroad, near Far Roekaway, between
the passenger trains. Seven persons were
killed and about twenty injured. Both
trains were completely wrecked.
Dispatches being received from the scene
OF the disaster at Far ROckaWay are meagre
50 far as can be learned up TO the present
the following is list Of the killed: ]. Hib-
bard, conductor, residing at Flushing Mr..
Hartmann, jeWeler, corner Broadway and
Second street, Brooklyn; VIM. II. FOuld, Of
kOckaway; Mr.. Thumer, 102 Broadway,
Brooklyn; Mr.. Fififer, of 221 North Second
street, Brooklyn; Mr.. Hohol, Il New
Chambers street, New York; Mr.. Vim.
Bradley, 30 Maiden Lane. Among the
killed are two unknown men. The follow
ing are the names not likely to recover: Jno.
Ataler, $50 Union street, Brooklyn; P.
Walsh, 9 Pearl street, New York; Thomas
Robinson, GreenpOint, L. l., aud Jacob
New, Of the same place; Mrs. Pringle, 7S4
Greenwich street, New York; VIM. Quinn,
Oyster Bay, l.. l. In all there are twenty
seven injured. Coroner Hicks is holding an
inquest.
There arc rImOrs from reliable sources
which say that President! Poppenhauser Or
dered the train from ROckaWay to start
The train to ROckaway was ON time, and
the President Of the line disappeared. As
soon as the accident occurred he was badly
frightened. The engineer and fireman
saved themselves by jumping from the en-
glne- The trains were excursion trains
crowded with passengers. Two Of the men
who were killed were sitting beside their
wives and children, who escaped without a
scratch. The new time table was published
to-day, which may probably account for the
sad accident. The engineer states he was
running at the rate of ten miles per hour,
heavily-laden and crowded with passengers.
He saw the smoke of the coming engine
and whistled down brakes, nOtWithstand-
ing which the engines were telescOped.
Many Of the wounded were left at the scene
Of the disaster, while the dead were car
ried TO the nearest hotels and residences. /
Ii Is impossible 10 tell either the number |
Of killed or wounded. There are some
to still remain ia the debris, |
while numbers have been taken away BY |
their friends. There is great excitement |
and az intense feeling Of indignation. |
Some say that the fault lays at the door of |
the telegraph operator, and that Wood |
bury'S message said "COme on" the train |
was still on the switch. This does not re-
ceiye belief. The train had the right Of /
way and three minutes to run one mile. |
The dead were terribly mUtilated.

SAWDUST FOR TEA.
4 st Louis Confidence Man Plays ID

ST. Louis Globe-DCmocrat July 5.
On Saturday night, housewives residing
in the vicinity Of Fifteenth street and
Franklin avenue, on starting out to make
their w5eklypurchases, were much surprised
to find that the elegans little tea store a. 1917
Franklin avenue did not glitter with its
usual brilliaucy. 1t was closed up, and
thereby hangs a tale. Some eight or ten
months AGO, G.. b. GOuids, son Of Al
bioD, came to st. Louis and opened out as
a tea merchant at the number stated. His
store was perfect picture Of neatness, and,
although coming here comparatively I'M
known, in a short space Of time he estab-
lished quite a trade For this reason he
was enabled 10 enlarge bis establishment
and make Il All attractive feature Of the
avenue. He Transacted business 10 a way,
however, which is, unfortunately, too prev
aleut in this age Of PrOgTess-that Of work
ing on a small capital-aDd, although suit
ing his customers TO a L, the sequel will
show that his creditors were ultimately
swindled ia fine style.
Colds Rad five or six agents selling tea
for him in this city, and as many more
scattered through the suburban towns
drumming up custom. rs an inducemenL
to purchasers, premiums, consisting prln-
cip4lly of glassware, were given with every
article bought. If a pound Of tea was pur-
chased, the customers were giventhree nice
gOblets. This enabled Mr. Colds to dis
pose Of a large quantity Of tea for cash at
little over cost price, and the proceeds he
pOcketed. His creditors finally got the idea
into their heads that Colds meditated leaV-
ing the country, and on Saturday morning
at an early hour the store was attached and
tie work Of removing the stock was a. once
commenced. One Of the byslanders sug-
gCsted to the constable that it might be
well 10 open one ofthe half chests TO see
what IL contained, which was done, and an
elegant sample Of sawdust greeted the eyes
Of the on-l0okeIs, and caused avi5ible SMILE
TO play. over the features Of al present who
were not pecuniariiy interested. The

sENATOR Ions, DEFENSE.


The Woodbury. Press publishes a
lengthy letter from Senator James A
Jones. of the Eighth District, IN which
he defends his course as a member Of
the General Assembly. Perhaps no
similar BODY ever elected by the people
of Tennessee has been SO much abused,
and the fact that Senator Jones is-If
we mistake not-She first 10 stand up
and face the popular clamor, is calcu-
lated to arrest hardly -ess attention
throughout the State than in lis own
district.
Plunging hrayely iu aledtas gss, the
Senator says: Designing demagogues
and time-serving ofice-seekers have d.
rected your entire attention t. bus two
acts Of the last General Assembly,
viz: The dog law, as it is called, and
the election Of Hon. Andrew Johnson
to the United States Senate. By va
rious articles your prcjudices have
beenwOrked upon and your passions STIR
red and iufamed to such an extent that,
until very recently, any explanation
would have been useless He cOnfesses
that the hue and cry against the dog
law has ast5nished him, but attributing
its origin t. the unthinking and noisy
portion Of the people, headed by the
crossroads and other small-fry politi-
Clans" he knew sthat the tempest
would be Of short duration. All leg
zslation being a compromise, and real
ling the impossibility Of every one
getting any law, in ali It's details, Just
as they wanted it, he voted for the bill
as the best he could get, and nOtwith-
standing the clamor, If be could not
secure a modification of the law SO rs
TO exempt one dog TO each head of
family, I would, he says, vote again for
IN, law as 1t stands rather than the
whole bill should be defeated Why:
Because. IN the first place, there are too
many DOCS. Second, it costs too much
70 keen them. Third, they are destruc.
tive TO q valuable industry, which, in
its ramifcations, az, 2cts all classes, and
the poor seriously. I'bese points are
elaborated bv the Senator with de-
gree of pIausibility ard ingenuity that
ought to 20 far toward restoring the
good humor Of his constituents.
OF his vote for Andrew Johnson he
says:
Now, as to my vote for Andrew john
son have no apologies to make.
Whilst ! was satisfied that there was q
strong element opposed t. him, was
equally satisfied that there was a strong
one IA his favor; Yet my vote was Rot
influenced by either. The question at
