Another swindle turns up. This time it is a
canvasser. pretending to be securing data for
a soldiers history. The questions asked are
cheerfully answered by all and as correctly as
possible. After the information has been
written out the unsuspecting informant is
asked to sign his name to the same, being
assured it is only wanted as authority for
publishing. After a few days those inter
viewed are furnished fifteen dollar history,
and are surprised to find their signature To
a contract agreeing to take the book. So says
an exchange.

Train No. So, of the p, W. & D. railroad.
which leaves this city ar 4.46 p. m, and Is
due to arrive in Washington at 80 O'Clock,
met with serious accident Friday near
the Washington tunnel by eolllding with
freight train. Engineer Jamison OF the
passenger train was killed and number Of
passengers wer' severely bruised and
shaken up.
The immediate cause OF the accident was
the blocking OF the south-bound track, just
out OF the Washington city limits, by
freight car which had jumped from the
rails. The passenger train, which runs as
an accommodation from Baltimore to
Washington, was ordered to take the north
bound track across the eastern branch OF
the Potomac and run Into the city. b.
tween the trestle and the tunnel near the
navy-yard, 1t dashed at full speed into a
freight train just starting on its trip. The
engineer OF the passenger train. Jamison Of
Philadelphia, was caught In the wreck OF
his engine and killed. Escaping steam
literally cooked his remains. The passep-
gers were badly shaken up, especially In
the first car, but so far as could be learned
no one was injured so badly that he could
not get about, either OF the passengers or
train crew. No one on the freight train is
known TO have been injured. The damage
by the collision is not great. The respon-
sibility for the accident is said to rest upon
whoever allowed the freight train to start
northward when the passenger train had
orders to use the north-bound track.

HIS 2IsT ATLANTIC VOYAGR.
W. rs. Crosby Tells n story of The
Sea-khe Arizona's Pilot.

W. X. Crosby of the flrm OF Crosby & Hill,
and Mrs. Crosby arrived here on Friday
tom an extended European trip OF four
months. They crossed on the City OF
Rome In little over seven days. ter.
rttic storm was encountered on Thursday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crosby are In excellent health
and have thoroughly enjoyed their holiday.
They travelled all through England, ireland
and Scotland, making lengthy visits to the
southern English watering places In Corn
wall and Deponshire. The weather was SUI
perb through almost all the time. They
were specially delighted with their visits to
Torquay, Ilfracombe and Bournemouth.
An Incident OF the return voyage was
when about 400 miles outside Of Sandy
Hook the racer Arizona was met.
phe latter vessel signaled she had her
New York pilot aboard. 1t was impossible
on account OF the storm and the high waves
to put him back on the pilot boat outside
made up his mind to take him across to
England. Fortunately this City OF Rome
was met and during q iull In the storm he
was rowed across to the homeward bound
liner which he piloted safe into the bay.
The City of Rome and the great racsr leu
tonic left Queenstown, the first at II q. m.
Thursday, and the other at p. m. same
day The Tentonlc overlook the City of
Rome in mid-ooean. She was In sight almost
the whole day. There was no attempt at
racing.
This voyage completes Mr.. orosby's 2ist
voyage across the Atlantic. In fact he has
attained his transatlantic majority. A fell
low voyaRer returning to this city was ".

Philadelphia Record, Saturday.
The appalling loss OF lie and the heavy
destruction OF clrEoes aud vessel property
during the storm Of this wsek, az the D9la-
ware BreAkwater, has revived the discus
sion In maritime circles OF the necessity Tor
q new breakwater, which would insure
better protection for vessels of every
draguht. IL is estimated that dutlng the
past 10 years there have been about 100
lives lost at or near the BreHk water, aud
that the aggregate value OF the vessel pop
htty and oargOes destroyed will atnount to
fully S3,OJD,0JO. Thess flsu as seem to
Indicate that new brenkwaier is naces-
slty, but those Interested IN the sui ect are
AT loss to know where the money 10 10
como from to pay for such an improvems nt.
breaswater suitable to shelter n vessel Of
$3.50 TONS would require an expenditure OF
not less than S30UO,JOO, and II IL doubted
II the United States government could be
depsnded upon to pay the bill.
The present Break water was completed
IN 1928 at cost of s2,l23.5o5. 1t Is 3 $50
feet long, and is nude of loose blocks Of
etone Weighing from 500 TO 5000 pounds,
placed one on top OF another. At the time
OF Its construction vessels OF 800 tons were
the largest that came into the csp9s. There
IS only 20 feet of water behind the stone
pile, which Is not sufficient to permit the
lhFptT GLASS OIL VESSELS now plytlik up ulu
| down the coast to take refuge behind. It
has b9en proposed to build a new break
water off the Shears, farther up the bay,
where a depth OF 80 feet could be- had.
This, 1t is stated, would be ample depth for
| all Kinds of vessels.
1t "a admitted that the location of tho
| present one Ia not the bsst to be had. and
when 1t Is considered that the value OF tue
| vessels and their cargoes that Annually
seek reiil ye In Delaware bay amount to
over 500, 100000, the necessity for new
| breakwatar bee mes apparent ut once.
"a new breaSwHter would be a good
| thing" said Secretary Sherwood of the
| Maritime Exchange, "hut who ia TO pay
t for T. ?" l is not pc ittvsly known where
| the most desirable location could ba rad In
| the bay. The bbzztrd OF March, 1888 and
the present storm are thu heaviest that VS.
have had In 10 years, though about 1879
there were nlaay vessels wrecked within
the Caps"
Port Warden joel Ccot, an extensive
ship owner, Thought q new break water
! would be vary desifal ls tut doubted II II
could afford protection in snch storm as
tho one Inst eSper epcad. IA questioned
II any kind OF a breakwatst would have
| saved them from destruction. "Ihere Is
| something strange about these etorms."
said MIR. Cook. ''0ur pilots tell US that they
are getting worse every Year, and that each

dscessor, 1t might do to iredSe our be.

The Philadelphia Times.

The Philadelphia Times
There are now no vacancies In the new
Congress, excepting the additional mem
beers for the new states to be chosen on
the LIST of October, and the status OF par
ties Ia Just or II was made by the elec-
tions of last year, viz, 1874 Republicans
and 1871 Democrats, Of which 1888 consti-
tute quorum. 1t is quite probable that
the October elections in the new states
will add four TO the Republicans; two
from South Dakota, one from North Da.
kota and one from Washington, and that
Montana will add one to the Democrats.
The House will then stand 1853 Republi-
cans and 1852 Democrats, aud requiring
166 to make quorum. II should be re-
p.embered that no party is In power in
the House for partisan work without
full quorum of members present to re-
spond to their names. While the Repub-
lican majority is likely to be at the
meeting of Congress in December, it
must 166 votes always ready to
assure any exercise of party power,
such as the election Of speaker
or the settlement of contested seats.
There ia a side element in the Republican
majority in the House that may be very
embarrassing and possibly prevent the
command Of q party quorum when most
needed. Congressman Brewer, Re.
publican from North Carolina, voted for
the Mills Tariff bill and was reelected
as a regular Republican while his adjoin-
ing fellow Republican voted against the
Mills bill and was defeated at the polls.
Brewer now demands that the entire
abolition af the internal revenue tax Hys-
tenn shall be accepted by the party il.
Caucus as condition precedent "a his
action with the party, and he Claims TO
be backed in this position by eyeral other
southern Republicans whosG people are
oppressed by our profiiGate revenue
laws. II the internal ravenus of over
$l3l, 100000 shall hS abolished, the
severest economyInuat be enforced, with
searching" revision of Tanners
pension policy, to save the trea-
sury From immediate bankruptcy, and
Such schemes as the Blair Educational
/ bill, the Disability and the Service PEN
sion bills and various contemplated pub
lie improvement bills, would be al once
buried beyond the sound of the resur-
rection trump. or course, il the Repub-
lioans act their line entirely solid to start
with, they will soon unseat enough DEM
ocrats to give them safe working ma.
jority. They have number of southern
contests which revive the flavor OF the
olden time carpet bsggers who could get
seats without the pretence Of ever having
made serious effort to obtain majority
vote, and there are other close contests
which always tempt the majority in the
House to manufacture doubts as to the
true return and then resolve oil doubts In
its own favor; but it is evident that some
serious complications are feared by the
administration in the struggle to get tbs
House organized with reliable party
quorum to obey party orders.

An almost Fatal MISTAKE.

William Soigers, small colored boy
living on the csuseway nesr the p, W.
& B. cutoff, received load of shot In
the face Tuesday afternoon week that has
probably destroyed the boys left eye and
peppered his face with shot. The shoot
ing was done by Frederick Hayes, who
had accompanied Seigers on a cunning
expedition. While Seigers was walking
through the reeds looking for game,
Hayes mistook his companion'a hat for
birds and blAzed away. Seigers at once
screamed that he was killed, while the
frightened Hayes fed. The injured boy
was removed 70 Morrison 4 Vaasev,s
drug store at Second and King streets,
where DR.. Morrison dressed his wounds.
