A Careless Railroad Disaster.
TRENTON, May 31.-The train on the
Pennsylvania Railroad which leaves New
York at 3:15 P. NJ, being behind time was
running at full speed yesterday, and when
nearing Bear Swamp, four miles from
Trenton, ran into an open switch. The
palace car attached to the train was the
only car that kept the track, all the Others
left the rails, and one car turned COM
pletely over. About a dozen passengers
are said to be injured severely, and others
slightly. Augustus Ritter of Philadelphia
was killed outright. He was trying to get
out of a window and was struck by some
projecting timbers. Mrs. Lucretia Pen
nington, aged 81 years, of Sixty-first street,
New York City, was fatally injured and
died at 6 o'clock. Three cars were smashed
but the wreck was soon cleared. Careless
switching was the cause OF the disaster.
The telegraph operator, who is also the
~switchman, and whose duty it was to close
the switch, ran away Immediately after the
accident.
senator Mills Dispatch.
New YORK, May 31.-The Times AL
bany special affirms that Senator Mills
dispatch does not seem to dash the spirits
| Of Conkling's men. Yet the Senator's de-
| cision has created a sensation, as the anti
Conkling men in the Senate hope to be
strong enough to prevent an adjournment.
| The same dispatch states anent the rumors
| Of the fidelity of Governor Cornell to
Conkling, which it takes pains to deny,
that if the Governor should be named as a
candidate, it is 10 to / that he will be the
most popular man in the convention, in
spite of the attempts OF some Republicans
to detract and abuse him, and charge him
with unfaithfulness,
The Tribune's Albany dispatch says Of
Mills action: II the Administration men
should gain one more Senator, Conkling
will be completely in their power; they
would then control the upper House, with
out whose consent the Assembly could not
adjourn.
Senator Jacobs (Dem.) said to-day that
he is in favor of allowing a reasonable
time to elect Senators, after which he will
take the position that the Legislature
ought to adjourn and refer the question to
the people.
