Mr.. Neebe had talk with Judge Gary,
who presided at the anarchist trial, ON
the subject of petition for the

regarding the formations, workings and
plans of the anarchists groups, includ-

and others took i'm the consumation of
their proposed social revolution; when
he exposed all the plans and schemes of
the defense during the progress of the
trial and then expressed regret and con-

a position to say what he would do on
the question of signing a petition for
pardon. A statement of the require

agreed to fulfill them. The prison

the Issues of the Day.
Special to the Globe.
BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 23.-About 200
civil service reformers fyom all parts of
the country met here to-day to discuss
the issues of the day. Among them
were Dorman B. Eaton, of New York !;
c. j. Bonaparte, Baltimore; Theodore
Roosevelt, Lawrence GOdkin, William
Potts. Naval Officer Burt, of New York !;
Henry A. Richmond, Buffalo; Herbert
Welsh, Philadelphia; Judge w. D..
Foulk and l.. B. Swift, Indiana; L. NJ.
Blackford, Virginia; c. J. Kidder and
Charles c. Allen. Missouri; FL. w. Far
nan, Connecticut; w. l.. Putnam,
Maine. The morning session was Sc
cret. 1t was devoted to discussion
and amendment of certain resolutions.
There were some hot exchanges between
MeSSrs. Roosevelt and GOdkin, involv-
ing the name of United States Sen
ator ingalls,. The trouble was
about the advisabiiity of mention
ing the names of individuals
of either political party. 1t was finally
decided to speak only Of parties and not
OF men. At the afternoon session Judge
Foulk was elected chairman and Stew
art wood, OF Philadelphia, secretary.
The first business was the presentation
by Mr.. Bonaparte of resolutions recog-
nizing in the Endorsement of The Re-
publican platform by President elect
Harrison a pledge that he will observe
the civil service laws in letter and spirit,
and calling upon the senate to consider
nominations for offices in open ses-
sion. Letters of regret were then read
from George William Curtis. of New
York; G. K. Adams, Utica, n. Y; Rich
ard McIllWaine, or the Hampden-Sid-
ney college, Va: Thomas Wentworth
Higginson, of Massachusetts; John Ii.
Lonsdale. of Rhode Island, and others.
William Reynolds, Of Baltimore. offered
a resolution calling on civil service re-
formers to talk of civil service reform
before elections. A motion was made
that copy of all resolutions be sent to
President Harrison. At the suggestion
OF Mr.. Bonaparte the motion was re-
ferred to committee of five appointed
by the chair, with power. This evening
public meeting was held, at which ad-
dresses were made by William ID. Foulke,
of Indiana; Charles j. Bonaparte, OF
Baltimore; Richard IL. Dana. of Massa-
chuSettS, and others.

BANGOR, Me-, Feb. ga serious ac-
cident occurred to the morning train
from Bangor to st. John, near Boyd'S
Mills, two miles east of Kingman, at 10
a. m. Mail Clerk Caleb Palmer arrived
here in tie evening train from st. John.
He was on the mail ear in the accident
and received some severe bruises, He
tells the store of the accident as follows:
..When the train reached Boyd's Mill,
the scene of the accident, he was sitting
on table in the front of the car. M. @.
Mudgett, of Dexter, chief clerk, near
him. with his feet OH the stove, and
John Campbell, clerk. was on the

over several times. The train con-
sisted of engine, mail car, baggage,
Pullman, smoker and three pas
senger cars. The first five left the
track, but the other three kept on run
ming upon side track. The mail car,
baggage, Pullman and smoker caught
fire like a flash, being entirely con-
sumed within fifteen minutes, The
train had been running at full speed.
and a misplaced switch caused the de-
railment. Palmer, Mudgett and Camp
bell were held like wise by the timberS
OF the shattered car, Cne lOrlner
with part of letter rack over
his legs. and Mudgett under the stove.
Campbell's back was broken. The
dense smoke from the burning cars and
steam from the enging boiler hung over
the mail car. Alt shouted for help.
Mudged cried to Palmer that ne was
being burned, and babe him good bye.
Palmer thrust one arm up through an
opening and was seen by Conductor
Chase, who attempted to pull him out,
but was unable to do so. Three others
Joined him, and finally succeeded in
removing him i'm bruised condition.
They were unable to reach Mudgett
and Campbell before they burned to
death. Harry Goodwin, fireman, was
killed, and Julius Angel, engineer, was
cut severely, but none of the passengers
were hurt. The injured were taken to
the Kingman house. in KIngmaD, where
their wants were attended to. All the
cars were equipped with Sewall heaters.

in the mail car. The main track is but

and fired. Gabert received a heavy load
of buckshot in the heart and head, kill
ing him instantly. The robbers then
reached under the car and fired at the
other parties. Bently was struck. by
several shot in the abdomen and right
arm. The robbers then marched three
men upon the engine and backed away
into the darkness. 1t is thought that
tue affair was not the work of profess
sionals, as it was needlessly murderous.
The robbers secured only S400. Armed
parties are securing the country in

LONDON, Feb. 23.-There are divers
rumors tonight of a sudden and senSa
tional ending of the proceedings of the
Parnell commission. 1t is asserted that
Sir Charles Russell will advise the Par
nellites not to offer any testimony, but
70 rest their case when Pigott and the
photographic experts have finished and
appeal to the sense of the court ior
verdict. That the end of the work of
the commission is drawing to close
there is no doubt, and there is now a
possibility that Sir Charles Russell and
his associates will withdraw from the
case and allow the commission to bring
the proceedings to final adjournment
in whatsoever manner the associated
Justices may choose. The verdict Of the
public has already been given, and even
the most pronounced Tories admit that
the whole affair has resolved itself into
gigantic tizzle. The Telegraph, which
is usually a rabid Tory, admits that the
evidence given by Pigott has been blown
