The ClementOn Collision.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LOSS OF LIFE.
The coroner's inquest on the bodies OF the five
men killed by Thursdays collision at Clemen-
ton. N. j., on the Philadelphia and Atlantic
City Narrow Guage railroad, ELECTED evidence
that the running OF the trains simply amounted
to guess work, that the assistant superintendent
as rule gave his messages to the telegraph
operator at Camden verbally, and that the
transmission OF one OF that description led to
the accident Thursday. The freight conductor
knew nothing Of running trains, and had charge
OF one for the first time the day OF the accident
The jury In their verdict express the opinion
"that j. s. Verts, assistant superintendent, is
criminally censurable for employing incom-
petent persons to manage the trains and for
neglect OF duty"
INCIDENTS OF THE DISASTER.
One singular incident caused intense excite
ment. The deaf mute. when found, was lying
near the car wheels. When the kindly hands
went to IT him he had found his voice. "Let
me die-let me diet" he murmured and then
utferfng the word "water'' he fell back and ex-
pired. Within five minutes after the calamity
ring and watch ana chain were taken from
Conductor Worthins toms body. The trainmen
said II they could identify the robber, lynching
would be his fate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 49, 1s79-It is whispered
among democratic politicians here that Mr..
Interview with THE STAR reporter, which was
telegraphed you some days ago from here,
adroitly concealed the most important part OF
and Mr. T1lden, OF which Mr.. Springer was, 1t Is
said, part. A prominent western democrat
who passed through Washington several days
OF this 1 conference OF western men with
Mr. Tilden was to say to him that
unless he could In some way harmonic
this fall. they-the western men, who are,
like Mr. Springer, friendly to Mr.. Tilden's nomt-
nation next year-Would be compelled to drop
explained to him that the plan which he pri-
vately put fol tn last spring. to lose the state Of
New York this fall, but carry 1t next year, would
no intention of interfering in New York politics.
and did not mean to favor or oppose Tammany
or anti-Tammany, and in fact thought very well
uneauivocally that If Mr.. Tilden failed to carry
his state In the coming election, that would
compel them, in spite OF their friendship for
him, to give up all idea OF his nomination
next year, because IN their opinion the demo-
cratic party could not afford to risk its success
by cltnging to candidate who, whatever
and success In his own state. II New York Is
lost this fall they Said 1t must be reckoned as
at least an uncertain state next year, and 1t
would In that case be safer to take up a west
ern states. 1t would be easy to carry Ohio and
Wisconsin with Ewing, in case he Is elected
this year, or Illinois with Judge. now Senator,
Davis; and unless Mr.. Tilden could so harmon
lze the democratic factions In New York this
fall as to carry that state not by close ma
jOrity of three or four thousand. but by 80 large
majority as would make the state sure for
next year. they assured him that he would have
to be counted out for next year, and that they,
though they were his friends, would have to
take that ground publicly and before the peo-
pie about him.
1t was added by the western democrat that
Mr.. Tilden received this admonitlon In silence;
but that the western men took care to commu-
nicate what they had said to him in confidence
to several OF Mr.. Tilden'S supporters In New
York, upon whom 1t is said to have made pro-
found impression. This report has created a
good deal Of interest 1n the democratic circles
here, where Senator Thurman General Ewing
and Senator Davis have more friends than Mr..
Tilden. It was said by prominent democrat
to your correspondent that he thought Mr.. TIL
den would not give up Governor Robinson and
take up another canidate, or perhaps allow Mr..
Kelly to nominate any man he may prefer; and
the action Of the action OF the democratic state
committee of New York, which is to meet to-
day, WILL it Is here thought show whether Mr.
Tilden means to stand out and light for control
or whether he Will surrender.

How TO AIR APARTMENTs.-1t is
the general practice to open only tho
lower part Of the windows of room
in ventilating it, whereas if the upper
part were also opened, the object
would be more speedily effected. The
air IN an apartment is usually heated
to a higher temperature than the out
er air, and it is thus rendered lighter,
and as the outer air rushes iu, the
warmer and lighter air is forced up
ward, and finding no outlet remains
in the room. If candle be held in
the doorway near the door, it will be
found that the flame will be blown
inward; but, if it be raised nearly to
the top of the doorway, it will 60
