I'VE psssons Killed and Eight Bsriously
injured by . Csliision OF Passenger Trains
On the Lsng Island Railroad.
- NEW YoRx, Sept. II.
A serid6s accident occurred this evening
on lifelong Island Railroad, near Hunters
Point Depot, by which two men were killed
and eight injured. Tho Flushing train
leaving Hunters Point, when at Montauk
Junction, about eight miles from the depot,
was run into by . Manhattan Beach train,
due at Hunters Point at 6:35. The latter
train was several minutes late, and the en-.
gineer should have stopped east Of the
junction until the Flushing train passed.
The locomotives came together near the
switch. The Flushing train consisted of
four passenger coaches and combination
car, each OF which was full of passengers.
None OF these were injured. The engine
and tender, however, are badly broken up.
The engineer of the Flushing train, Ernest
Cretzner, remained at his post, backing
down his train, and received slight
injuries. The Manhattan Beach train
consisted of seven ordinary cars
and one parlor. The latter was next the
engine. At the time of the collision this
train was running at the rate of thirty.five
miles per hour. The engine was not greatly
damaged, but the parlor car was telescoped
by the car behind. All of the cars -csre
crowded, with many persons standing on
the platforms. Most of the occupants of
the parlor car were warned by the "sissing"
OF the escaping air from the air-brakes,
and escaped from the car by the door and
windows. The car apparently broke in two
about the middle, and the platform car be-
hind was crushed through about the same
distance. All the chairs in the back part
of the car were smashed and piled up. The
second car and the floor of the parlor car
were on one side. Under these were Thos.
Birmingham, of East Houston street, and
Robt. Smith, of 1856 South Eighth street. 1t
was found necessary to cut away the pam
cling and woodwork with axes to get the
men out. Their legs were 81 crushed that
aE1putation was necessary, ana they died
very soon after the operation. Their kci:ra
were then removed to the Long Island dead
house to await the inquest of the Coroner.
The injured, so far as ascertained, were:
Thos. Glenn, engineer of the Manhattan
Beach train, cut on the head and shoulders.
NJ. Norris, of Philadelphia, one leg cut
off.
Geo. Wright, serious cuts on face and
lip.
Lawrence, New York, cut on head.
Leslie f. Slawson, New York; cut and
bruised about head and body.
w. Connor, New York; cut on head and
body.
Vernon Barton, New York; large splinter
In leg.

Capt. Caziare, acting Chief Signal officer,
scid tonight that telegram had been sent
to Lieut.. darlington this afternoon asking
him to state what stores, if any, had beer
deposited by him on Littleton's Island
He was also requested to give the depart
ment full information Immediately of what
could be done to send relief to Greeley thit
fsll. The department had not yet received
reply to this telegram. Capt. Caziare sale
the department realizes fully the critica:
situation in which Lieut.. Greeley and his
party were placed, and that nothing that
could possibly be done to relieve then
would be left undone.
He said there were no grounds for hoping
that Lieutenant Darlington had landed any
of his stores at Littleton Island, since, if he
had done SO, his party after the wreck Of
the Proteus would have wintered there in
stead of retreating 800 miles to Upernavik
Lieutenant Darlington, he said, fully sp.
preciated the necessity Of landing stores al
Littleton Island before endeavoring to
force passage up Smith Sound, and sup
Elementary orders issued to him Just before
he sailed directed him to do so, but the
Proteus having been wrecked about twen-
ty-fve miles to the north and west of Lit
Teton Island, must have passed the last
mentioned place. The only way he could
account Tor the failure to land stores before
proceeding northward was that it had been
found impossible to do 50

A rustic dance in the lower part of Pierce

counter between two country iasses Thurs
day night Miss Mabel Smith and her
niece, Miss Roxy Wilson, both daughters Of
respectable farmers and bellies Of the even
ing, were rivals for the hand of =
country swain, whose personal attrac-
tons were enhanced in the eyes
of the maidens by a $4,000 estate
to which he is the only heir. His preference:
for Miss Smiths company was very marked,
and Miss Wilson became Infatuated with
Jealousy. Ateleyen O'Clock she was so mad
dened that she made open threats that she
would kill both her rival aud her lover. Her
brother, who was present, shared his sisters
anger, and, while they were all dancing in
the same Get about midnight, secretly pat an
open knife into his sisters hand and weiit
on with the dance. Suddenly raising the
knife above her head, the Infatuated woman
spang upon her aunt, and at the first strike

Mortified spectators could recover from
their establishment she raised the
knife again and plunged it to the hilt in the
dying wOman's breast, cutting cash which
laid open her dress and exposed the bleeding
wound to view. Without waiting to see
the, effect Of the wounds the murderess
sprang like a tigress toward the throat Of

Notes Nuisance and Refuse to
Handle Them.
CHICAGO, Sept. 10.
The banks, National and private, compos.-
ing the Chicago Clearing House Association,
have nearly all signed an agreement not to-
receive any more of the new post notes or Or
ders on deposit, and those who have not
signed will probably do SOFAS soon as the doc
ument is presented to them.
A reporter visited several banking houses
with view to ascertaining the cause Of
this action. Vice-President Gage, of tbss
First National, said the banks objected
mainly to receiving the postal orders on de-
post because Of the extra labor, annoyance
and trouble they caused. An officer of tho
bank. not an employe, is required 10 in
dorse them; then they have to be care
fully examined TO ascertain il the amount
is properly punched OH the margin, and
care must be taken to see that
they have not expired, as the limita-
ton of them is three months. Mr.. Gage
thought it was better for the receiver OF
the postal notes to obtain the money at the
pOst-office, if drawn on Chicago, and de-
post the cash, thus saving the bank the ey-
ira labor which depOsiting them required.
A postal order for seventeen cents was
shown the reporter. 1t was drawn at
Parker, ID. T., on the Chicago post-office,
and required the signature of ore of the
banks officers before 1T could be cashed at
the pOst-Office. Other bankers expressed
similar views. and so far as the receiving of
the postal notes at the Chicago banks is con-
cerned, the official edict has gone forth that.
they must 90. 1t is believed here by the
bankers that similar action viii be taken by
the banks of other cities.
That the new notes will be used to very
large extent, despite this action, there is no.
doubt, for they fill long-felt public want.
1t has been practically impossible to send
money by mail in sums less than one dollar
or fractions of dollar because nothing but
silver coin is in circulation. Merchants, es-
peciaily those engaged in small way, or
relying on country orders, will no doubt find
them very handy, and will be willing, for
the help they will be to their business, 70 &c
to little pains to have them cashesl, ii DO

An attempt was made last night to wreck

vigilance Of the engineer, who discovered
the distractions in time to avert disaster.
Several heavy railroad ties were found in
serted between the rails and through the
ties, and so strong as to have thrown the
entire trs,n over . very high trestle work

What Clarence Hite Says About the Win.
sfon Robbery.

sion Robbery.
A confession made by Clarence Hite
previous to his death, after going at length
over the preliminary arrangements for the
Winston robbery, contains the following:
1--WE were at Winston when the train came
along. Jesse was our Captain, and our
stations were as follows: Frank James,
Jesse James and my brother got on the
smoking-car, and Dick and myself got on
the front platform of the express-car. The
understanding was that Dick and myself,
as soon as Jesse and Frank should pull the
bell-rope, We're to climb over the coal
and pull down on the engineer and fireman
and make them obey orders. As soon as they
rang the bell, which was before we reached
the bridge, we climbed over the coal
and made them stop the train. TIE under
standing was that we were to stop the train
anyway before reaching the bridge. Jesse,
Frank and Wood were to go in and rob the
car. At the first stoppage Frank ran
around to the side, seized the baggageman
by the leg, and pulled him out of the car.
They then commenced firing into the car,
and the expressman opened the door.
They then went in and robbed the car. All
this took about half an hour. We got S126
and some cents apiece. Jesse said the con-
(Jesse) told him if he drew it he would
kill him. He did not desist and was shot.
Jesse did not know the conductor. There is
no truth in the story that Jesse killed him
because he supposed he (the conductor)
had carried Pinkerton's detectives out to
his mothers Mrs. Samuels') house. The
stonemason was shot accidentally. We
were about a quarter Of a mile from the
house after robbing the train. We then
went to our horses. cut mine loose, leav.
ing a part of the hitchstrap. We went
across the Hannibal and st. Joseph Road
between Kidder and Hamilton, beyond
Ninable, to Crooked River; rode ali night;
stopped in little woods after pulling down
a fence aud going through field. I went
to sleep; so did Frank. This was about
daylight. We stayed about an hour, then
went across fields till we reached Crooked
River Saturday. Jesse and Frank said
they knew the country"

Station, on the Kansas Pacific Road, and
falling in with companions, opened festivi.
ties with several drinks. Thence they
rode to a neighboring ranch, where they
obtained supply of liquor and started for
home. On their way two, named Roster
and McKeever, engaged i'm an angry dis
pute about trivial matter, and all re-
paired to the herder's quarters to settle the
difficulty. As soon a. the inside was reached
the men clinched and both fell to the ground,
fighting desperately, their comrades Urging
them on. Tables and benches were removed
and in ring improviSed, the men beat and
tore at each other with the ferocity of tigers.
The onlookers in the excitement ma6ly
howled and danced about, brandishiIg re-
volvers, and encouraging their favorites in
the fight. 1t was a weird and blood
curdling sight. While the fight was at its
highest, the oil lamp was knocked from its
place, ard the room was in darkness. The
men madly ran upon each other, and in a
minute after the light had been extin.
guished the melee was general. The door
being locked and there being no means of
egress, each man was for himself. Amid
the resounding blows and curses pistol
shots rang out, and the death-cry of a vic.
tim paralyzed whatever of reason was left
in the party. Almost before the cry had left
the lips of the unfortunate man the air was
wild with the fusilade, and for moment,
by the fitful flash the gloom was lifted.
Roster was dead. The two Joneses weltered
in their blood. Three others were wound
ed, some fatally. Rollins and McKeever
were the only ones not injured. Tney fed,
and are not yet apprehended.
