An Open Switch A Passenger Train
 Crashes into Freight-FataI Careless
 ness of a SVvitchman.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-A collision which re- suited in the loss of two lives and endangered the New York, Lake Erie and Western road at West End. At 5:3O o'clock engine New City, of the New Jersey and New York road, left Hillsdale in Bergen county with a smok- ing and a passenger attached. There were but Jew passengers in either of the cars. Just beyond West End the New Jersey and New York road meets the Erie, and the trains are run thence over the main line of the Erie to the Long Dock, Jersey City. That the freight trains may always be out of the way of the passenger trains a third track has been laid beyond West End; some time before the New Jersey and New York train had reached the junction with the main line freight train had passed the main track to the third track; the switchman, G. O. Bogart, had opened the switch for it's passage, but when it got upon the siding carelessly neglected to close the switch behind, so that when the New Jersey and New York train came along she was switched off on the siding and her locomo- tive dashed with terrific force into the freight train caboose. Bogart is said to have been asleep at the time of the accident, but the noise of the crash aroused him. When he saw the disastrous results of his negligence, he closed the switch behind the wreck and ran away. Chief of Police Murphy has ordered his arrest, but the officers have not succeeded yet in finding him. The collision wrecked the caboose and tender of the freight train, and the locomo- tive of the New Jersey and New York train. David Quackenbush, the engineer of the passenger train, was instantly killed. One of the steel bars of the locomotive machinery was driven right through his body, and he was horribly mangled otherwise. He lived at Hillsdale, and leaves wife but no chil- dren. James Debevoise, a brakeman, was in the caboose attached to the freight train at the time of the collision. He was crushed beneath the debris of wrecked car, and was SO badly mangled to be scarcely rec ognizable. His body was removed to the Morgue He was single man and lived with his parents in Greenville, New York State Garret Voorhis, the fireman of the passenger train, who was on the tender, had his foot crushed, but otherwise escaped with out injury. He was taken to St. Francis Hospital. The fore end of the smoking car was broken considerably, and one of the flying splinters cut William Burleigh on the head, but not dangerously. The other pas sengers escaped with slight injuries. At the Erie railway office it is said that $1, 200 will repair the damage to the railroad property.

member was absent attending another COM
mittee. The first section of the bill was amend
ed to read as follows: That the sum of $97, 600.
or 80 much thereof as may be necessary, be and
the same is hereby appropriated out of any
money in the treasury not otherwise
appropriated, to meet the expenses
of inland mail transportation on star routes
for the remainder of the current fiscal year
and during the remainder of the current fiscal
year no further expediting of the service on
postal star routes shall be made. The second
section, appropriating further sum of 300,
600, was amended to read ITO enable the post
masteHssneral to place new service as author
lied by law, provided the postmaster general
shall not hereafter have, however, to expedite
any contract, either now existing or hereafter
given, to rate of pay not exceeding on per
cent. upon the contract as originally let"
Senator Beck then moved the following as q
preamble to the bill:
WHEREAS, There is o deficiency in the appro-
priation made by Congress for the star postal
routes of the United States for the fiscal year
department diaregarding the law which prohib-
its the expenditure of money in excess Of the
appropriation, or the making of contracts
which involve the government for the payment
of money in excess of appropriations which
deficiency, unless suppressed, threatens to de-
prive the people of the necessary mail service
to which they are entitled; therefore be it en-
acted, etc. The preamble after an animated
discussion was adopted as follows: Yeas-Buck,
Davis, W. Va, Eaton, Wethers. Nays-Blaine,
Booth, Window.
The members above referred to are of opin-
ion that the department, by making judicious
reductions in existing service, will be able to
meet the needs of the country with the $780,
600 provided by the House bill. The general
impression is the Senate will reverse the action
of the committee in regard to the amounts.

ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT.

Minneapolis Desires to See the Railroad
Men, Who Ara Shaping Matters In Be-
half of St. Paul.
a delegation of Minneapolis tnft hunters
visited this city. yesterday afternoon, and came
within bushel of getting left. By spasm
of unacc1untable enterprise Minneapolis
tumbled to the fact that an important pow
WOW between railroad magnates was in pro-
gress in this city and that their deliberations
we're calculated 10 change the complexion of
railroad matters in the Northwest, and confer,
moreover, inestimable advantages upon the in
terests of st. Paul.
The latter fact acted as a thorn in the side of
that town, and realizing that she was about to
be ignored half dozen of her most prominent
citizens were delegated to visit st. Paul for the
purpose of procuring, if possible, slice of
the very exclusive cake. With this object in
view, delegation was made up from the board
of trade of Minneapolis, consisting of the fol-
lowing named gentlemen:
y. G. Gale, ]. 3. Bassett, 8. E. Naylor, George
Pillsbury, 81. N. Titus and W. W. McNair.
These gentlemen received their instructions
purpose of inviting the railroad magnates to
visit Minneapolis and inspect the fabulous en-
terprise of the city.
The delegation registered at the Metro
politan, and, after supper last evening, they
essayed to wait upon the party of railroad men,
who were then in secret session. After pro
longed wait the spokesman of the party waited
upon the gentlemen and extended their invita-
ton. They were cordially informed tina! having
transacted their business. the party would
leave this morning for down the road. The
Minneapolis gang will return home to-day with
feelings-but this sort of thing is better
imagined than described.

Work of tho Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul Railroad.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad
company is making rapid work with the i'm
provements recently inaugurated on the lower
levee. As stated IN the GLOBE several days
since, the company is largely increasing its
yard room at that point, by filling up the tres
tie work extending ont into the river from the
embankment, and leading to the rear of its
freight house. To do this the mouths of the
sewers emptying into the river had to be ex-
tended out flush with the proposed fill. This
work has been done in substantial manner,
with heavy abutments to protect the
mouths. The company has also commenced
the construction of q temporary trestle work
running in a straight line from the point
where their track connects with the former st.
Paul d Pacific track just where it turns of
from the levee to the Union depot grounds, to
be used in filing up the fat between that line
and their present tracks, by which they will
secure room for at least . dozen additional
tracks.
In addition to this Manager Merrill, while
here the other day, purchased of Lyman Day
ton block 40. Dayton's addition, lying i'm
mediately south Of the st. Paul & Duluth
depot grounds, which is to be filed in and
covered with tracks.

Brick Pomeroy's Greenbackers.

CHICAGO, March 3.-The national! convention
of the Union Greenback-Labor party, ether
wise known as the Brick Pomeroy faction, will
be held here tomorrow. Some hundred or
more delegates have already arrived and it is
said over 200 will be present tomorrow from
about twenty States. A secret meeting was
held at the Planters house tonight, with Hugo
Pryor. of Ohio, secretary of the national execu-
tive committee, in the chair. Aside from read
ing q large number of letters from various
parts Of the country and selecting L. Chiseley,
of New Hampshire, as temporary chairman of
the convention, nothing can be learned of its
proceedings. There is an element among the
delegates in favor of adjourning the conven-
ton and forming an alliance with the national
Greenback party, which will meet in Chicago
June 9Th, and another element is favorable to
adjournment after declaration of principles,
but Hugo Pryor and other aderssayithese ele
ments are not strong enough to carry out such
schemes. Pryor and others say they have come
here to nominate ticket and they are going to
do it. Nobody is mentioned as candidates.

Another Street Fight Bet,ceen St. Louis
Journalists.
ST. LOUIS, March 1.-The trouble growing
out of recent visit to Washington by st.
Louis delegation to secure the national con-
vention does not subside. William Hyde,
the editor of the Republican, was lead
ing member of the delegation, and the
Post Dispatch published the charge that
the St. Louisians disgraced them
selves and their city by a big drunk while at
the capital. This charge has been harped upon
a good deal by the Post Dispatch, and this
the idea of which was that Mr.. Hyde had been
mistaken by Washington people for walking
whisky-still. The allusion was as harshly per-
sonal and offensive as could we'll be conceived
of. The poem concludes as follows:

When it was found on that same night,
That he WHO smelled just like still

This evening, Mr.. Hyde and Joseph Pulitzer,
the latter proprietor and editor of the Post-
Dispatch, met on Olive street, near Fourth,
and being about to take car. Hyde stopped,
and, calling Pulitzer "a damned Austrian
Jew struck him square in the
face, knocking him down. As
Pulitzer fell, his revolver tumbled from his
hip pocket on the sidewalk. Not noticing the
loss he made dive in bis pocket for the
weapon, as he scrambled to his feet. Failing
to ind the pistol he exclaimed
''Any damned. - overgtown calf could do
that and put up his hands
to ward of Hyde's blows. Pulitzer had lost
his spectacles in the first knock-down, and,
being near-sighted, his defense was poor, and
he soon went down into gutter full
of mud and slush, with Hyde on
top, raining the blows all over his
face DR.. Van Studdiford was near by and in
terfered, pulling the two editors apart: Hyde
he would have made much better fight with
his spectacles on, was helped into barber shop
and rubbed down.
