Two Trains on the NJ y. Elevated Railroad
Collide with Fatal Eject.
NEw YoKE, April lS-Ata lew minutes
after Q O'CLOCK this morning, three trains
on the Third avenue line were proceeding
on their way down town. They were
very close together and packed With pass
ensers, many Of them being meschaRts
and brokers'. Thefrat train pulled up at
Hanover street station and signalled train
100, right behind 1t. Train 100 stopped and
signaled No. 204, but the latter was only
fifteen feet away and could not be stopped.
The engine crashed inta ths rear car Of
No. 100, tearing the woodwork 10 pieces.
The steam pipes burst, creating the
widest excitement among the passen-
gers, some OF whom. climbed out OF the
windows and down 10 the street below.
Women tainted and the utmost copiugiop
prevailed. The street belpY was filled
with debris. The bod fof Greman Charles
Mccarthy was Ipsnd ii the engine, held
fast by TIE wreck. Doth Of his legs were
broken and he was injured internally. He
will die. A relief train soon came and
took the passengers off. Many Of them
were severely injured batit L impossible
to ascertain thell panss At this writing.
Jahn Y. Messler, the engineer OF the last
train, was arrested and taken to the New
street station. Taking into consideration
the enormous traffic OF the road at that
hour 1t Is TO be wondered at that many
persons were not killed.

SCIENTIFIC PROBLEMS
wl.sh Create Discussion In Connection
with Appointments.

= = Z a.
WASHINGTON, D. O., April 13.-Some Of
tha scientific "suts" who would like to be
among the "ins" Of the Geological and
Scientific Bureaus Of the National Muse
nm have been recently charging that in
order TO gain admission to. that service it
is necessary for scientific persons to be be-
lieyers in eyolution-that man has been
evolved from molusks and baboons. The
scientific Sins" claim that the scientific
"outs" are guilty Of Misrepresentation.
at is true,n says Major Powell, Dlrec-
tor Of the geological survey, ''that the
scientific men In the bureaus under my
charge are eyolutionists; that Is, they ac-
cept some form OF evolution. All scienti-
&c men do. But know none who accept
any, such form 40 these complaints refer
to. There are ut present two clergymen
employed in the geological survey and
several in the Bureau OF Ethnelogy, and
quite q number are members Of orthodox
churches. As TO the charge that questions
OF theoretical science and especially Of the
relations of science to religion, play a part
in the selection of employees, it is utterly
untrue. Scientific men can not be bigots,
and the only test applied to applicants for
places Is one OF fitness. As to using my
official reports TO advance my personal
views in regard'to evolution, have never
in any OF them referred to the subject
Prot Baird, who presides over the Smith
sonian Institution, says:
"Ihaye never heard OF asingle instance
in which scientific belief was made test
Of fitness for employment in any scientific
bureau OF the government. /, for one,
should no more ask an applicant for a
scientific position in the National Museum
what he believed in science than / would
ask him what he believed in politics or
theory. When one speaks Of the theory
of evolution, confess do not
understand what is meant. The
views entertained among scientists in re-
ID evolution are extremely diverse. /,
myself, go no further than an acceptance
ofthe wonderful Elasticity Of nature, and
Idonot know, or know Of, a naturalist
who does not accept that. There is no
unanimity OF opinion except in regard to
the5 fact that circumstances, and es-
pecially the struggle for existence, i'm
mensely affect organization"
In this battle between the scientific
aonts" aud the scientific Gins" the pros
pect Is that the latter will "hold the fort"

surnEME coUnr DECISION.

a
Two Cases of General Importanss Decided
Yesterday.
WAsuISoToS, D. G., April IA deci-
sion was rendered by the Supreme Court
Of the United States to-dayins the case Of
Francis Dodge Ct di. appellant, against
Thomas Knowles which presents the
question Of the liability Of a married wo.
man for certain debts contracted by her
husband, nomiually as her trustee. The
Court holds that neither liability for pro:
visions suppliedat q dwelling house where
the husband and'wife and their children
are living together nor promissory note
given by the husband describing himself
as trustee for the wife in payment for such
supplies can. be charged in equity upon
the wife's part without clear proof that
she contracted the debt in her behalf or
intended To bind her separate estate for its
payment. The decree Of the court below
isreversed and the case remanded with di;
rections to dismiss the bill. A'is5
Opinion by Justice Gray.
A decision was also rendered by the
court today int the tax case Of the Glou-
cester Ferry Company, plaintiff in error,
against the Commonwealth Of Pennsyl-
yania, in an order 10 the Supreme Court
OF that State. This was a suit begun orig.
inallyin the Court Of Common Pleas Of
Philadelphia for the purpose ofrecoe ring
from the ferry company, a New Jersey
corporation, the amount of certain taxes
..evied upon It's capital stock by virtue Of
an act OF the Legislature Of -Pennsy lvania,
entitled can Act TO Provide q Revenue by
Taxation" passed June I, 1879. The
Court d. Common Pleas held the taxes
could not be lawfully levied because the
ferry company carried on no business In
Pennsylvania, except landing and rsciev.
ing passengers and freight, which is sort
Of commerce Of the country, andNis pro
tected by the Constitution from the inlpo.
sition Of burdens by State legislation, II
therefore gives judgment in favor eot the
company. The case was carried on a writ
OF error to the Supreme Court Of the State,
where OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and Is now
brought hero for finalreview. This Court,
in long aud elaborate reply by Mr. JUS
tice Field, holds that receiving and land
ing passengers and freight isincident 10
their transportation. Without both there
could be no such thing as their transport
tation across the river Delaware. Trans
portatlon as to passengers Is not COM

pier Of the city to which they are carried,
and as to freight unlil it is landed upon
such pier. All lrestrAints by exactions in

SENATOR PALNER, Of Michigan, says
there will be no difficulty in carrying
Michigan on any straight Republican
issue. In the recent election wherein
Judge Cooley, the head Of the Republi-
can ticket, was defeated, the strange
anomaly Is presented Of his being op.
posed by the Prohibitionists and liquor
men. The Prohibitionists cut him be-
cause he was the nominee Of both Re-
publicans and Prohibitionists, and the
liquor men because he was the candidate
oIthe Prohibitionists.
