RAILROAD COLLISION.

Brave Engineers Prevent a Serious
 Loss of Life.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Oct. M.-A collis- ion occurred at How1and's Station on the Old Colony railroad, about twelve miles from this city, this morning between the 715 train from this city for Boston and the New York train which is due here about 6 o'clock.
 The New York train reached Howlands on time and was side-tracked to await the pas sing of the other train. A baggagemaster of the New York train, whose duty it was to set the switch after the New Bedford train had passed, lost his head and set the switch be- fore the New Bedford train had reached it, and the New Bedford train ran on to the siding where the New York train stood.
 Engineer Faulkner of the New Bedford train saw the danger and reversed his engine before reaching the switch, and Engineer Sheehan of the New York train, also seeing it, reversed his engine, so that when the trains came together on the siding speed had been greatly diminished. Both engineers stuck to their posts in the face of what seemed almost certain death. Had they jumped the trains must have come together with such force as to cause loss of life.
 The wreck is bad one, both engines be-
  the New Bedford telescoping the smoking car. The passengers were thrown from their seats, but were not much injured. Engineer Sheehan had one knee some what injured and few of the passengers re- esived bruises. A wrecking train was sent \ to the scene from Taunton. The main track was left clear for traffic. The passengers on the two trains drew up a testimonial to the two engineers for brave " and raised a handsome sum for them. Bremen Palmer and Shaw also remained at their posts and receive commendation in the testimonial.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Oct. 24.-Mrs. w. V. Reed of Fall River had 8 narrow escape from death. She was on the steamboat train \ and jumped from the car, falling between | two moving cars, but Mir. Hoagland of Brooklyn, another passenger, caught her and threw her down an embankment. Her face was scratched by briars. Baggage Master Ssnboro of the New York | train, who Is said to have caused the acci- | dent, immediately left the scene of the col | 1ision, declaring that he could not face the results.
 When last seen he was running up the | track bareheaded in the direction of Taun- ' ton.

Died ln San Francisco.

Timothy Dwight Clarke, who died Satur- day at the Palace hotel, San Francisco, of apoplexy, was a native of Meriden, Ct. He went to New York when young man and engaged in the manufacture of brushes, be- coming connected with the house of Bradley & Smith of that city. In 1849 he caught the gold fever, and though in rather ill-health, made the trip across the plains to Califor- nia.
 After few years he came back to New York and engaged in the wholesale varnish business, which he pursued until his delicate health compelled him to seek California again. There he has led a quiet and retired life for the last fifteen years. dealing from time to time in real estate. The body will be sent on from San Francisco to New Haven, and the funeral will take place from the residence of Mrs. Henry Barnes, who is 8 sister of the deceased.

At Trinity M. E. Church Last Evening. "The Homes and the Haunts of Jesus, or
 Fellaheen or Farmers of Palestine" was the subject of the Trinity church lecture last
 evening, which was delivered by MT. Peter
 N. Won Finkelstein. Mir. von Ffnkelstein
 was born and brought up in Jerusalem, and
 even when lad took great interest in the
 peasantry of Palestine. He has been con-
 nected with the Palestine Exploration socie-
 tvs excavations and with the United States consulate at Jerusalem. In his illustrations MT. Won Finkelstein was assisted by several persons in Oriental costume, and with their aid acted out on the platform many of the most striking customs of his native land. In his address he gave many illustrations of the customs from the time of Moses to the Palestinian Jews of the time of Christ.
 MT. Von Finkelstein introduced his audi ence to peasants home as one would find it on entering Palestine. In our West we would call it "dug-out." It consisted of one room entered through door four or five feet high, and the floor is about five feet below the in side surface of the ground. At one side is an elevated platform, under which were goat, donkey, chickens and other small animals. A hand-mill is indispensable in every house. One was worked on the platform. The carpenters always sit at their work and generally sing. A married woman is distinguished from an unmarried woman by her head dress. Col. Ingersoll finds fault because Christ called his mother "Woman." But woman means 6 sanctifed one, a sacred one. A maiden is not com plete. She must be married, have son, and the father and son pray for the mother. She thus has place in heaven and is allowed to go into the synagogue. Thus she is saved one, 8 woman. The mode of street saluta- tion was illustrated at length. Col Inger- soil finds fault because Christ told his disci- ples not to finger in the highways, but MT. Finkelstein showed that the reason was on account of the time salutation took, for they always sat down and talked after the salutation, and that would take the time of the disciples from preaching. The implements and duties of shepherd were illustrated at length. The "rod" and the estaf" were shown, the shep- herds flint and slingE and pebbles Then the lecturer described a complete shepherds dress, and also the dress of the next higher class, the fez and urban and "coat of many co1ors" were made very real by their presence before the audience. Mir. Finkelstein made good impression as lecturer. His nativi- ty in Jerusalem, his early and long familiar ity with Oriental life has fitted him for the work he has undertaken. His reproductions last night were so real that one for 8 time seems to be living among the very places and events.

Sharp Words From the Pope.

ROME, Got. 24.-The Pope received the Neapolitan pilgrims to-day and made an ad dress to them. After oondemning the Italian government and stating that the hatred of all foes of the papal see was concentrated in Rome, the Pope said: ''In this city they do not hesitate to confirm by new insults on solemn occasions the usurpation and vio- lence which are within the remembrance of the world, degrading Rome to the simple DO. sition to the capital of the kingdom while predestined to be the see of the vicar of Christ, and it shall ever remain the capital of the Catholic world" In concluding the Pope expressed perfect faith in the triumph of hfs caTIse
