Close Game at MerIdeH in Which
 the New Havens Win.
 There was hot and exciting game in Me1i- den last night, but the New Ravens won the game. The struggle was desperate one on both sides, as the teams have met eight times and each team has won four games. Now the New Ravens are one ahead on the series. The chances were in favor of Meriden win ming, for the New Ravens played Fuller, their new goal tend, for the first time. It is said tbat he made good impression. Score: New Ravens 5, Meridens 4.
 Leydon played with the Poughkeepsie team Monday night against the New Works when the latter team received it's first defeat of the season.
 Newcombe has been called away by the ill- ness of his wife.
 Captain A. J. Doe will remain with the Meridens this week. It cannot be definitely stated yet who will take his place. Boston refuses to let Pierce go, so that the prospect of getting him has vanished. A big offer of money for SeeIey's release was made to Man ager Richardson of the Pawtuckets Monday night, and though much more than any pre- vious sum he wouldn't look at it. The Paw tuckets will remain as and where they are for the present at least.-Meriden Journal. The Hartford management denies that 1t has made an offer for the Pawtucket team. It is not known whether or not Watson will come back. It seems that he was made altogether too much of while here and he got to thinking that the New Ravens could not get along without him. He did play good game at all times, but he filled the po- sition of goal tend no better than the other mon on the team. filled theirs. He came at a time when his playing was great contrast 1 fo rhot af 1afa Watson gave it out that he was a conductor on some Boston road. when there wasn't 8 particle of truth in the statement. If he does come back he will play center and not goal.

Only seven or eight men, and they the ringleaders, remain to be tried. In most of the cases the defendants were re- leased on their own reeognizances and al lowed to leave the city. These were princi- pally men who confessed their guilt or were young men so slightly contaminated that the company did not care to prosecute them.

 Frank Litchfield of Portland. who was in
 the smoker, in an interview with an Assoclat-
 ed Press reporter related his experience as
 follows: stI was riding in the forward end
 of the smoking car in conversation with
 another gentleman and as we were about en"
 tering the abutment of the bridge over the
 Merrimac river was suddenly thrown over
 two seats and rendered partly unconscious and knew nothing for several minutes, but upon regaining consciousness crawled out or the window He escaped with several cuts and was injured about the body, his clothing being torn into shreds.
 The scene at the police station after the bodies had been removed there was distress. ing. The bodies lay side by side, disfgured almost beyond recognition. Most of the victims were persons in the prime of life, but one was child of four years, cut and man gled in horrible manner. At the hospital the scene was even more affecting, the groans and expressions of the injured telling of the terrible nature of their wounds. The attend ant physicians and nurses are doing all in their power to alleviate the pain and minister to the comfort of the wounded. Some of the experiences of those who es- capped death were thrilling in the extreme. One man was sitting in seat in the worst wrecked car in which a passenger in front of him and one behind him were killed while he escaped without scratch. Four men were in in the smoking car playing cards. When the car careened they involunta1ily rose to their feet, and that was the last they could remember un- til they found themselves out of the car still holding the cards in their hand. Mayor Chapman of Portland, who was on the train, narrowly escaped injury. Conduc tor Weymouth went east at $40 with the cars of his unlucky train that were not dam- aged. Thousands of people visited the scene of the wreck during the afternoon and l evening. The tank which fell upon the l wrecked ear was full of water and those who | escaped injury were drenched to the skin. l Trains are running to-nig ht as usual

THE MINES AT A STANDSTILL.
Not a Car of Coal Coming In From th'
 SchaylkilI ReSiORs.


 READING, Jan. 10.-Not car of anthracite coal has passed through Reading from the Sehuylkill regions since noon teddy up to a late hour this evening. At Cressona alone some forty engines employed in the coal trade have been house besides twice this number at Reading, Pslo Alto and Port Rich mond. As soon as the crews employed in the coal traffic come in they are ordered to report off duty and told they will be sent for as soon needed. This means they will not be wanted until the mines start up again. A letter dated Pottsville received this evening from a Knight of Labor close to Chairman Lee says that the miners have now determin- Cd not to go back even if they get the eight per cent. advance; that they and the rail roaders have cast their forum es together and not company mine will resu me until all the scab railroaders are taken off and those who were discharged because they were Knights taken on again. None of the Schuylkill miners have as yet experienced the effects of the strike in financial way. There is still due them two weeks pay which they will get on Saturday. The company will distribute then among the miners $350,O00.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.-It is stated upon excellent authority late tonight that the eff forts of Messrs. Childs and Drexel toward bringing about an early and amicable settle- ment of the labor troubles resulted to-day in a conference between President Corbin and Master Workman Lewis, of the miners District assembly No. 1855. Nothing definite was accomplished, but it is believed that another meeting was arranged for to be held tomorrow which will be more productive of good results.
 General Manager S. B. Whiting of the Coal and Iron company held quito lengthy conference with General Manager Mcleod and other Reading officials of high rank to- day and all of those concerned are reticent es to what happened. The belief is generally entertained that preliminary steps were taken looking to settlement within short time either by compromise or arbitration. It is now regarded as 8 certainty that no further action will be taken in the matter by the general executive board of the Knights of Labor. Prominent strikers say they sat- isfed with the moral support of the order at large and with the favorable expression given by the general board to-day.
 PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 10.-A committee of the leading mercantile men of the county was formed today to wait upon President Corbin and urge an arbitration of the Reading strike. President Cerbin will give them an audience to morrow morning.
