the pOtal service. Mr. Squire was reduced
not long ago 20 q chief clerkship, and subse-

he died Of a broken heart. The funer-

honOrs in Emmanuel Baptist church, one of
the most prominent congregations IN the
city. The church was crowded to overflow

and his elOq1ence had already greatly

a Wild California Female Who Caused
Lots of Trouble.
STOCKTON, GAL, October ga 16-year-
old damsel named Mary Abbott, living on a
ranch near here, has just been rounded up
IN her efforts to become a cowboy. For the
last six months she has been the terror of
the neighborhood by her escapades, and
now. she has been sent to an insane asylum.
She Is victim of yellow covered literature,
and says she wants to be a cowboy. The
family came to this state four years ago
from Illinois, and the mother says Mary de-
clared her intention to become a cowboy
while en- route to California. She has not
attended school in this state, preferring
TO read trash at home. Her first
breaE was made in May last,when one night
she L@lddled pony, bought provisions and
camping outfit and started for the noun
Ga1ns. She Camped out one night and was
caught by a deputy sheriff and returned
home. Friday she started out again, first
going TO her fathers barn armed with two
pistols. She remained there several hours,
and when discovered fred one shot, scat
ter1ng her pursuers. A rowing person ven
tured into the barn, hoping to quiet the
wild girl, but she pOked a pistol into his
face and the party retired.
Mary soon ran out of the barn and made
for the brush along the MOkeiumne river. A
crowd started after her, some armed with
guns, but no one ventured near her. Con
stable Clark took up the chase He was told
she threatened to shoot any one who fol
lowed her, but he went into the brush and
she took to her heels. Clark fred two shot s
over her head and she sprang into wild
blackberry bushes, which stopped her. The
officer ran up and in scuffie she fell, and
he held the struggling girl till assistance
arrived when Mary was hanGcuHed and
taken into custody, and yesterday she was
examined here on a ch1rge of insanity, but
there was no evidence to show she was era

THE MUD Run DISASTER.
After Three Days Session the Blame Is
Located for the Terrible Catas-
trOPhe on the Lehigh
Valley Road.
The Trainmen OF Both Sections Severely
Csnsured for Their Gross NegIi-
gence OF Duty-CrIme
and Casualties.

MAUCHE CHUNK, Pa, October 22.-After
a three days session, the corOner's jury
which has been investigating the recent &C
cident on the Lehigh Valley railroad, at
Mad Run, by which so many lives were lost
reached the following verdict to-day:
We find that the engineers of locomotives
i52 and 466, Of the seventh section, were
guilty of gross negligence; first, in failing
to discover the red signal In time; the evil
dence clearly shows that this signal was in
full view as their train approached; and
secondly, for not approaching the station
under full control, as required by both the
general and special orders. The evidence
also shows that the air brakes of the entire
seventh section were under the control of
the engineer of locomotive 466, and that he
could have stopped the train in spite OF the
locomotive ahead, No. 452.
We find that the lookout of Locomotives
Nos. 452 and 466 were guilty Of gross negI-
gence in failing to report to their respective
engineers the red light at the station as the
train approached. The men were placed on
their respective engines as an additional
pr6cauuOn, their special duty beng to look
out for signals. The lookout man on No.
452 failed to see the signal. The other one
on 466 testified that he saw 1t when about
l.5OO feet from the station, and yet he re-
ported all right to the engineer, and claims
that he did not think the red light meant
anything, as nobody used it.
We find that the rear brakeman Of the
sixth section was guilty of gross negligence,
for when his train stopped instead of going
promptly back the proper distance to warn
the approaching train, he stopped at the sta
ton. There was time enough for him to
have gone back nearly q half mile, but he
went less than 400 feet.
We find that the conductors of the two
sections failed in their duty, the first in not
conforming to the rule requiring each con-
ductOr to see personally that his brakeman
protects the rear Of his train, and the second
ia not requiring his train to approach the
station under control.
/ The cOrOner's jury investigating the re-
cent accident on the Lehigh Valley railroad
ut Tamenend, by which eight persons were
killed and several others fatally injured
| rendered a verdict to-day charging the flag
/ man with gross negligence in not signalling
! the approaching train sooner, and CensuTine
! the engineer of the Pennsylvania freight FOL
not keeping his train under full control.

y Ferry Boat, Within 500 Yards of the
New York Docks.
Blew York, October 23.-The steamer At
las of the Atlas line, bound from Port
Lemon, having left that port on the 18th
instant, was sunk this evening of Vesey
street. The steamer was struck on the star
board bow by the ferry boat Central, and ten
minutes later the Atlas sank, and the only
thing to be seen of the Suuken vessel are tn g
tOpmasts and tunnels. The Atlas was COM
ing up the river at 4 low speed. There was
fog at the time. The steamer was about
go yards out from the docks. When OF
Liberty street both vessels cOllided. The
bow Of the Central crashed in
to the Atlas and bent the iron
plates like so many pieces Of board. For
second or two the Atlas trembled, and listed
and then began to sink bow first. When the
collision occurred. all hands on board the
Atlas were ordered on deck. The engineer
Obeyed the summons without stopping the
engine, and the propeller WhirIed round and
round IN the air. In this position the YES
sci remained for about five minutes. The
vessel then plunged forward and went down,
apparently settling On an easy keel. As the
steamer began to sink, the crew and all
hands took to the rigging. lust at this juno
ture tugbOat steamed alongside and took
of ali on board.
The tug-bOat ElsinOri was but a short dis
lance away from both vessels when the col
llsiOn occurred, and mate EunOr, IN speak
ing OF the accident, said it was impCssibIs

Later on another serious accident was on

a vessel bound up the river nearly ran into
the sunken steamer, there being no danger
lights displayed from the Atlas. CAPTAIN J.
". TObin, commander of the Atlas, and Pr
lot George Sampson, who brought the yes
sci into port, were seen at the Office of For
ward d Co., agents OF the line. Captain To

ferry at Liberty street, the ferry boat Cen

she stopped In answer TO cur Whistles. Then
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1888-11-02

she started ahead and struck about twenty
feet forward Of the bridge on the starDOard
side"
The Atlas had cargo of II. coo lunches of
bananas, 100 tens OF logWOod and other
miscellaneous freight. Captain Curtis was
IN charge Of the Central when she started on
her 4:23 o'clock trip from COmmunipaW.
The ferry officials are reticent abouE the ac-
cident, but claim that the Atlas was at fault.
The wheels of the Central were reversed
when she struck the steamship on the star
board bow and crushed In the iron side OF
the Atlas. The bow rudder of the Central
was broken and her rails were damaged.
She proceeded to CummunipaW, where she
was laid mp for repairs. No one was in
jured. The crew Of the ferry boat decline
to talk about the accident. The Atlas nOW
rests on an even keel, about GOD feet of the
Barclay street pier.
The acting pilot of the ferrybost is known
to have been substitute for the regular
man, who was laid up sick att home The
substitute IN charge at the time Of the acci-
dent was Thomas Nelson. Whether he was
to blame or not, he certainly was unfortu-
nate during the whole day. In the morning
another accident had occurred to the ferry
boat, when she ran into and smashed the
bridge On the Jersey side when landing after
a river trip.

The Mississippi River a Basing Line in the
Division of Through Rates.
CHICAGO, October 23.-J. W. Midgeiey
and J. W. Faithhorn, representing different
DIVISIONS Of the western freight association,
hale arrived home from New York where
they have been in conference with Commits
siOner Fink anu a representative of the
central traffic association, in regard to the
relations of the eastern and western roads.
The result of the conference was an agree
ment which will be submitted as a recon-
mendRtiOn to the interested lines for rejec-
ton or approval, making the Mississippi
river q basing line in the division Of
through rates. The roads leading east from
the Mississippi river to be allowed on bust
ness to the Missouri river or beyond, l16
per cent of the published tariff rate from
Chicago to New York, on business, from
points between the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers, rates are to be made on a basis Of
116 per cent of the Chicago rate from the
Mississippi. 1t was also considered advlsa-
bic to reinstate the JOINT rate committee
composed of the chairman of the Trunk
line. The central tariff of the two divisions
of the western freight associations Is to
have supervision over the rates on through
buSiueSz.

Against Iowa DistilIerIes.

Dies MoDEs, IA, October 22.-The su-
preme court decision IN the case of Iowa vs..
Kidd, or against the International distillery,
of which he is owner at this place, was re-
Ceived with much interest. 1t practically
makes no difference 10 the status of the dis
tilIery. and would not if it had been the re-
verse, for since this litigation was begun the
legislation has passed a law that has closed
all distilleries and breWeries, by fOrbiddiBg
manufacture, for any purpose. COnse-
quently there is not a distiIIery or brewery
running in the state, and this disillery
known as the sBig distiuery," has been
closed since April, 1887, when it sold its
capacity to the western distillery pool. It
was closed by order of the pool. The point
Of this decision affected the old law, which
permitted manufacture, (fOr certain pur-
pOses) the state claiming that the Kidd dis
tillery had violated that law, and so it
should be closed by injunction which was
issued by the district court In this city, but
the distillery claimed that so long as its pro-
duct was exported, the state could not in
terfere. That position is not sustained by
the supreme court. But last winter
the legislature passed new law forbidding
all manufacture of liquor, and that law
would have closed the distiIlery even Snen
had the decision gone the other way. In
effect this decision sustains the new law, and
renders unnecessary any test case under it.

a TERRIBLE LANDSLIDE.

Horrible Scenes at a Railroad Wreck In
ItpIy-Crushed and EIangIed COrpses.
ROME, October PA despatch from PO-
tenza says that there were 400 passengers on
train which was crushed by landslide
- lew days ago. One hundred and fifty dead
and wounded have been identified. Many Of
the victims are unknown. Scores
continue to be unearthed. Soldiers are
working hard at the wreck. The work is
impeded by cold and snow. An entire
thetrical company was killed. Several head
less and armless cOrpses have been found in
the neighbOring river. A mother, who had
been driven mad by the catastrophe, re-
fused to release from her embrace, her two
dead children. A young priest was buried
for two hours, and when eXtricated. it was
found that his hair had turned white. An
entire family, consisting of six persons was
killed.
The carriage in which were thirty car
abineers sustained no damage. The carabi-
neers were able to assist in eXtricatiug the
victims. All the officials attached to the
train were killed. 1t is estimated that
100000 cubic metres of earth fell upon the
line. Many of the passengers who escaped
with their lives left the scene Immediately
after the accident. It is therefore impOssi-
bic as yet to tell the exact number of the
killed.

Investigating nc Times, Charesa.

LONDON, October 22.-The commission
appointed to investigate the charges made
by the Times against Irish members of par
lament, opened court at IL o'clock this
morning 7 e Sir N Charles 45u RUSSELL lie. leading
ceedinqs by applying for an excuse from
Wexford prison of William Redmond.
Justice Hannah, president of the commits
sion, said the course would be adopted with
Mr.. Redmond, as in the case of Mr.. John
Dillon. The release must not be construed
to mean that he had been granted immunity
from imprisonment; he would be sent for
only under strict conditions. These would
not allow of taking part in public life, and
would compel him to hold himself strictly
on parole. Sir Charles Russell intimated
that for the present he would not insist on
the application for Redmond's release.
Discussion ensued on the length Of time
the court should set weekly. The counsel of
both sides cOncurred in a proposal to hold
sessions upon four days each week, but the
court decided to meet every week day except
Saturday, and asked the counsel to expedite
proceedings. Attorney General Webster
opened the case for the Times.
