The Mysterious Package.

WASHINGTON, May THE Treasury
Department has no further information as
to the circumstances under which pack
of brown paper was substituted for $41 900
of currency sent in for redemption by the
American Exchange National Bank Of
New York. Treasurer Hyatt said this
morning that the matter was not one in
which the department could take action.
Upon the presentation Of the bogus pack
age the Treasurer had refused to receive it,
and had thus escaped all responsibility and
connection with the matter. The investi-
CATION and location of the responsibility
lies between the bank and the express COM
pany.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
On a massachusetts Railroad, by which
Many Persons ARE Killed and Wounded.

The express train which left Boston,
Mass, for Portland Maine, met with u
serious accident at Bradford, while cross
ing Haverhill bridge, over the Merrimac
river. The train consisted Of a locomo-
tive and eight cars. It had passed on to
the bridge from the Bradford side In safe
ty, when suddenly the forward trucks of
the smoker broke. The smoker was hurl-
ed upon its side and two coaches were
thrown off the track and completely
wrecked, being piled up against the
Bradford car-house. The train was on
tiEie and running at the ordinary speed.
\ fire alarm was sounded Immediately
and the department responded, but their
services were not needed, as the cars did
not take fire. Physicians were summoned,
and the wounded and dying were rapidly
cared for. The work of clearing the
wreck was Immediately pushed forward
with energy, and the bodies taken from
The wreck. Several of them were distig-
lrcd beyond recognition. The train does
not stop at Bradford, and was going at Il
great speed. The Georgetown branch train
was standing on the track near the water
tank house, at the Bradford end of the
bridge, waiting for the express to pass
over to Havefhill. As the express round
ed the curve, two cars left the rails and
went crashing into and demolishing the
watcr-tank house. In this house d ntim-
Der of section hands were eating dinner.

ford, was talking with the section hands
and was killed, together with Taylor. one

to the tank house knocked the foundation
out, letting the heavy tank down upon

car, and doing fearful work within. The

StaVuatiGn the Rule all Through the
Territory Of Peunsylvania's Coal Fields.
A conference was held in Jersey City,,
n. j., between the representatives, of the
various trades involved in the Reading
strike, and it was decided that the mem
be ordered out Of the Wyoming mines.
This action, it was said, would practi-,
cally stop work in the anthracite coal
region. A prominent member of the
district assembly 40 said the same day that
the Knights had fully made up their
minds to fight this strike to the bitter end,
and would make no attempt now to sc"
cure arbitration. The closing of the
Wyoming mines would result, he added!
in thousands of men being thrown
out of work from want of fuel to-
run factories and mills. At the cav,
shops in Reading, Pa, the books show.
that the number Of coal Cars
in active service on the road is about 4O,",
900. Nearly all those are now lying idle.
on the sidings in the coal regions. Sham-
okin appears to be the hotbed Of the
present strike, and where most feeling is
shown against the nOn-union men,
4 meeting Of the Central Labor Union
WIS held in New York, at which Bernard
Davis presided. The coal boatmen an
nounce that they are about to distribute
their union card among coal dealers ems
ploying none but union men, and they
asked that all organized wOrkmen should
buy their coal only from such dealers hav1
ing union card displayed in their Of
fees. Upon motion Of the Representatives
of the mixed trade section, resolutions
were adopted denouncing the Reading
Railroad company for causing the great
strike of the coal miners, by which the
welfare of the entire population has been
affe led, in raising the price of coal in
such season as this. The furnaces OF
the Pottsville Iron and Steel company,
three in number, will be compelled to
suspend work al once for want of coal.
The rolling mills Of the same company
have sufficient coal in stock to last for
some time: should coal become exhausted
before additional sdpplies can be obtained
bituminous coal will bosIbstituted. Not!
withstanding the claim that there i3 no.
interruption of traffic on the Reading
Railroad, in consequence Of the strike.
reliable reports from fremont, Tower
City. and other points say that no freight
trains have reached thcrc, and merchants
are making serious complaint.
