him, attached to = rack wagon, to the wood

A Refusal to Excuse Them on Church
Holidays Leads to an Agitation.
New YORK, Sept. 25.-There is much
commotlon among the Jews of this city
on account of the recent action of the
public school authorities. The origin of
the controversy dates back to Good Fri
day last, when Rabbi Browne devoted his
usual Friday evening talk in the Temple
Gates CT Hope to the question, "ShaIl
Jewish pupils in our public schools vio-
late the Feast of the Passover, as they did
yesterday, and observe Good Friday. as
they are doing to-dayfp The EtalkG ere
ated great feeling among the Jews, who
resolved to insist on what they deemed
their rights, but Rabbi Browne, having
been in Europe in the summer, nothing
definite was done in the matter. The day
Of atonement is to be celebrated by the
Hebrews next Monday, and Rabbi
Browne, in behalf of the Jewish commu-
nifty, sent an application to Superinten-
dent Jasper to excuse the Jewish children
from ATTENDANCE on that day, which re-
quest the superintendent denied. The
Hebrews are very indignant, and have
arranged to hold a series of mass meet
ings, the first being held this evening.
Rabbi Browne and eX-Judge Herman are
the leaders, and they say that they are
encouraged not only by Jews, but by
prominent Christians, who will likewise
speak on the subject.

either the Republican or Democratic

those who. apply for them. There are a

left the track near Pickering Station last
night owing to a broken frog, and went
over an embankment % feet high. At
the time of the accident it was very dark,
and the rain was pouring in torrents.
The crash of the rolling cars, the screams
of the women and the grOans and shrieks
of the wounded, all emanating from the
intense darkness, was terrible TO listen to.
The horrors were multiplied when Chief
Engineer HannafOrd's coach took fire.
The flames burned iercely despite
the pouring rain, and quickly
communicated to the Pullman
coach thaG came next, though there the
flames were stayed. 4 large number of
townspeOple quickly gathered and aided
in rescuing the passengers from the burn
ing Pullman car. AS quickly as possible
the passengers were collected together
and the refl was called, when it was
found that about a dozen were injured,
but none seriously. How all escaped is a
mystery. One of the coaches was smashed
into kindling wood, and all were whirled
over and over several times, yet many
escaped absolutely unhurt, while most of
the wounds are of a slight character.
The injured were taken to Whitby, where
medical aid was procured. The damage
to the track and rolling stock is esti-
mated at 100000.
