Collision and Fire.

New BRUNSWICK, February AT
3 this morning an extra freight train
from Philadelphia, owing to a broken
truck, stopped upon bridge over the
Rariton river for repairs. While waiting
the through southern freight which left
Philadelphia at 1890 D. m. came dashing
along through the city and not until
within five hundred feet of the caboose
of the extra, did the engineer see it. The
brakes were applied, but to no purpose
The engine of the freight struck the
caboose of the ezra, telescoping it, and
struck an oil tank OF which there were
four in the tram. An explosion fol-
lowed Immediately and burning oil and
wrecked cars were thrown over and down
from the high bridge into the street be-
low. Burning oil ran through the gut
tiers down the street into the Rariton
canal. This being covered with
ice, the oil ran over the ice,
down the canal, to the wallpaper man
ufactoring establishment of Janey &
Co. This was soon totally destroyed.
Seven dwellings opposite the immediate
vicinity of the collision and just under
the long railroad bridge and building
used as box factory by the Consolidated
Fruit Jar Co. were destroyed. The
flames then spread to the main factory
of the company. The fire was under
control at o'clock. 1t is thought two
brakemen on the oil train were burned
to death. The loss is estimated at be-
tween $500, 900 and 81 100000. The fire
engines were sent to the aid of the burn
ing city from Elizabeth and Jersey city.
Only one span OF the bridge was
damaged. The bridge was the finest on
the Pennsylvania road. All the travel
on that road is greatly delayed as long
detours have to be made.
The loss on Janey & Co. IS, build
ing, stock and plant is SIZE, 900; insur-
ance, SOL 900. The Consolidated Fruit
Jar Company's loss is $500, 900, fully in
sured. The loss by the railroad cannot
be ascertained fer lack of willingness on
the part of the officials to impart infor-
nation. The loss on dwelling houses is
$4,000.

ing that all the soldiers, widows or
minor children, who, by the existing
laws are or may become entitled to IS
month shall in the future receive $12.

sion was the same as that which the

Dill. There seemed to be no other
chance, Van Wyck said, to get Justice

defeat the Mexican pension bill.

from persons not legally bound for their
support.
Second, That proof that the appli-
cant was regularly mustered into ser
vice shall be presumptive evidence of
soundness at the time, but subject to
rebuttai; and,
Third, That no person shall be emit
tied to more than one pension at a

New York, February An immense
throng of Irish Nationalist, members of
the Fenian brotherhood, dynamiters
and others were at the Toombs police
court this afternoon, when Richard
Short, who stabbed Captain Phelan in
O'Donovan Rossa's office, was ARA
igned for examination. The police force
was also we'll represented. When Phe-
Ian appeared and Short had been led
to the bar, Shorts counsel said he would
like to know if Phelan had been
searched. Judge Patterson replied that
he supposed he had, but directed the
police to search him. The sergeant put
his hand among the bandages which
supported Phelan's left arm and pulled
out a Colts fve-shooter with a
long barrel. There was a quite
sensation in court when the revolver
was discovered. Short laughed nervous
ly, but seemed relieved when the
weapon was taken from the captain.
Shorts counsel asked the Court for an
adjournment, on the ground that he
had just come from Albany and was
unprepared for the examination. The
prosecution opposed the adjourn
ment. The judge finally set
the case down for Saturday
next. The prisoners counsel made a
motion to reduce his clients bail from
So, 900 to 50, 900, but the Court denied the
motion, saying that the bail was none
too much ina case like this.

Liver Complaint.

Yes; you may well say complaint, for
if there is anything makes poor mor-
tai complain, it is to have his liver out
of order The liver is the great scaven-
ger of the body. 1t gathers up refuse,
works it into bile, and then works the
bile off. 1t has heavy contract; and
sometimes fails. Then there's general
disturbance. That disturbance IS quiet
ed by taking Browns Iron Bitters. Mr..
w. A. Brown, of Marshalltown, Iowa,
says, Browns Iron Bitters relieved me
of liver complaint after other remedies
had failed"
