NEWARK, Dec. 2.-In an interview, pub
lished to-day, Congressman William
Walter Phelps, as to the proposed bridge
Of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad over
Arthur Kill, alter referring to the vast
amount Of the traffic passing through that
waterway and It's Importance as means
Of securing cheap transportation in COM
petition with railroads, and the serious
damage to this traffic that would ensue
from the building OF bridge, says:
"Before the bridge could be built there
would bo needed the permission OF the
United States and the States OF New
York and New jersey. The permission OF
Congress is needed because the Constitu-
ton has given to it the power to regulate
commerce, and navigable waters, as in
struments OF transportation, fall within
the grant. All bridges interfere with nay
igation more or less, and, therefore, are
subject to congressional supervision. Con-
gres6 gives permission, bat does not give
the authority. That can be given only by
the owners Of the land appropriated; =;
that must come from tho States who own
the land and the water over it, each to
the middle Of the stream, and no individ-
ual or company can, without trespRss,
take possession Of the land under the wa
ter any more than they can Of the dry
land for bridging or any other purpose
without grant from the State that owns
it."
The claim Of the Baltimore & Ohio that
q bill passed last winter gives New Jer-
gey's authority for the bridge, Mr.. Phelps
denied.

The Conservatives hit the iron while it
was hot when they talked about protec'
ton to home industries. The agricultural
populations, almost starved out by tho
free trade policy, have made hearty re-
Bponse. And even manufacturing COM
munities are showing Conservative gains
for the game reason. 1t is not a little sin
gu!ar that while the United States is being
urged to settle down to free trade that pol.
icy has been challenged with wonderful
success by an English party. This time
the suffrage is being exercised by two
millions OF new voters, large proportion
of whom are believed TO be falling away
from the free trade idol.

Special DtEpdieh to the I:eLi1tHeer.
WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. "a terrible
accident occurred on the Baltimore < Ohio
Railroad, half mile east of Washington,
at hSlf.past two O'Clock tiiia afternoon.
The eastbouud local freight, with engine
800, collided in deep cut a quarter Of a
mile west Of Brady's tunnel with the west.
bound through freight, with engine 529.
The grade is heavy snd the curve Oh
structsd the engineers view. The trains
thundered down upon each other and the
engines struck with powerful concus-
sion. Although the engines remained on
the track they were badly damaged Their
cabs wore smashed, together with 2bonta
dozen cars OF both trains. One box car
was lifted from its trucks and thrown upon
end. A flat car loaded with stone was
forced completely through an empty box
car, and coke, lumber, sand and coal were
scattered along the track.
Two men were instantly killed and
several others weTo injured.
THE DEAD AND WOUNDED.
The victims are as follows:
JOHN @. REITER, OF Washington, Pa,
conductor 1.-THE local freight, was horribly
cut and ditGgured. The back OF his head
was almost torn of, and his death was in
stantaneous. He leaves wife aud three
small children.
FRANK Snyder, OF Grafton, W. Va,
brakeman Of the local freight, was fear.
fully soalded and msugled. He was taken
from the wreck dead.

may have to be amputated.
JAMES MORRIS, Of Washington, Pa,
engineer Of No. 800, bruised, but no bones
broken.
FRANK DEAN, OF Grafton, w. Va, an
engineer who was learning the road, was
injured, though not seriously.
+. L. NEWMAN, OF Glenwood, engineer
OF No. 522, slightly hurt.
Reiter, Snyder and Dsan wera all on the
engine OF the local freight at the time Of
the accident, along with the engineer and
fireman.
Mrs. Reiter received the cad news OF
her husbands death with heartrenGing
screams, and she is almost distracted.
INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE.
In the absence Of the Coroner, Justice OF
the Peace Charles NJ. Ruple viewed the
remains OF Reiter and Snyder, but post
poned his inquest until o'clock to-mor-
row evening, when the responsibility for
for the accident will be placed where 1t
Justly belongs.
Captain Deyries, Of Wheeling, and
other Baltimore & Ohio officials came in
this evening and began an investigation.
1t is the general opinion that the accident
was caused by blunder on the part OF
the train dispatcher ut Pittsburgh, for it is
certain that each train was running on
orders. Just after the local pulled out OF
Washington an order to remain here was
received and another engine was started
after it, too late, however, to avoid the &C
ciGent. Passenger trains used the side
track and were delayed about two hours.
The main track will not be cleared before
morning.
