ALBANY. N. Y, September "a train
was wrecked four miles south Of Greenbusb,
on the New York Central last night. 1t was
the second section Of the Montreal sleeper

thrown down an embankment, the second
car In which there were but three persons,
turning a complete somersault and landing
ing In ditch bottom side up. The other
five cars did not leave the road-bed, but
were lying obliquely across the track. There
were 81 passengers In the three cars that fell
into the ditch, but none were injured to any
extent except Mrs. Jenkins OF Brooklyn,
who was In the second car. She received
severe wound on the head.
Investigation Of the cause of the wreck

had been placed on the south bound track a
short distance from where the wreck occur

opinion Of Senator Sherman's reciprocity
resolution. They we're reticent, but dis
played no antsgonism to the Senator's pro-
posal and seemed Inclined to regard 1t with

there was a coal mine In Nova Scotia, except
perhaps the Spring Hill mine, In favor Of re-
ciprocity In coal. A section in Nova Scotia
favored reciprocity In coal, irrespective Of
its effect on mining interests, but II was not
so large as In past years. Nova Scotia min

supply even the New England States, always
excepting the Spring Hill.
Mr.. Foster, minister Of finance, preferred
not to express a decided opinion.
