CAN'T RUN ON ONE TRACK.

The PiffsburR and Mf. Oliver Inclined Plane
and the PittsburG Inclined Plane COM
panies Finally Lock Horns-Henring
Before the Master, D. F. Patterson,
Esq.-Beginning of . Probably Long
Legal Battle.
The controversy between the Pittsburg
and Mt. Oliver Inclined Plane Company,
plaintiffs, and the Pittsburg Inclined Plane
Company, defendants, yesterday came before
Master, D. F. Patterson. Messrs. Jacob
II. Miller and John h. Hampton took
care of the plaintiffs, and W. A.
Lewis, Esq, of the defendants. Mr..
Hampton taking the principal part of
yesterdays work. Secretary j. F. Grimes
was keeping weather-eye on the defend
ants interest also. Though something has
been said heretofore regarding the fight, it
is pertinent to say briefly that plaintiffs con-
tend that their right of way from Bradford
street to a point above Keeling's Coke
Works on the Southside is being appropri-
ated by the P. I. P. Co., while the latter
contend that the former want to lay claim
by means of an ideal railway survey to oc-
cupy the whole front of the hill
petition. Mr.. Miller, for plaintiffs,
says it's question of two locomotives trying
to pass on one track. Though very interest
ing to those Immediately concerned and re-
motely so to the public at large, so far as the
issue is concerned, the proceedings 80 far
are, and necessarily so, as dry as the bones
in that valley into which Ezekiel was car
ried, but 1t Is also evident that before thu
fight is over there is like to he "a noise and
a shaking" and there is like to be coming
together of them that will clothe the subject
with interest eventually. The public will
not likely weep if the outcome shall be half
dozen planes instead OF two.
Mr.. Hampton expressed hope that the
matter would be rushed so as to get into the
Supreme Court before dog-davs, The hear
ing was only interrupted Yesterday by OBJ
jections coming at intervals froi0 Mr.. Lewis.
who enunciated from time to time ''incom-
petent and irrelevent."
Mr.. G. J. Schultz testified that he had en-
gagged Carl Won Wagner in 1888 to make a
survey of route which Is now the bone of
contention. Wagner was employed by the
Pittsburg and Mt Oliver Inclined Plane
Railway Company. Witness said Wagner
was competent to make such survey, and it
was for the purpose of an inclined railway.
Carl Won Wagner testified that he had
been a civil engineer since 1864. He said
he had made the plan for the plaintiff from
Carson street to Washington avenue, Mt.
Oliver. The course found by triangulation,
something on the order of the Irishman's
gun that shot around corners, would not, if
described, greatly interest an outsider. Wit
ness said the location was feasible one:
couldn't say whether it would pay or not,
but there were no physical difficulties in the
way Of construction. Won Wagner said the
work of surveying was done openly and in
daylight, and the marking pins were such
as could have been seen by any surveyor.

THEY CALLED II MACARONI.
A Chicago Mans Ingenious scheme for
SmuQRlinV Valuable DryRoods

smuggling valuable Drygo0ds.
CHICAGO. March THE seizure by Gus
toms officials at New York of number Of
packages Of macaroni consigned to Chicago
because fine shawls and other valuable and
dutiable goods were found concealed among
the four.paste tubes, caused stir among
Government officials here.
''This was an ingenious plau," said
Deputy Collector Hit to-day. "Macaroni
Is on the free list and good deal of it is
imported, and valuable goods might be got
through. We know but little about the
seizure made at New York-we know that a
lot of macaroni was expected here to-day and
that it was seized in New York. We have
learned also that it was consigned to man
who wouldn't in the ordinary course OF his
business handle the article. We also know
that he never imported macaroni before
Taking everything into consideration
it looks like plan to smuggle. I
cannot give the name of the Chicago
man to whom the seized macaroni was con-
signed. So long as tine officer does not come
in contact with him il would be ungracious
to give his name. Nothing can be done to
him even if it should be shown that he
knew the eontraband articles were in the
macaroni. The duty must be paid or the
goods will be confscated."
G. D. Stone, broker, said he knew some
thing about the seizure. In fact, MIR. Stone
was the broker for the goods. He said he
knew some goods had been seized at New
York, but he wouldn't give the name of the
Chicago consignee. He said, however, that
his client was not regular macaroni
dealer.

GRAY'S HEIRS ANSWER,
They Deny the PhiIadeIphian's Right to
share of the Estate.

They Deny the PhiIad eIphinn's Right to n
Share of the Estate.
George P. Hamilton, counsel for j. j.
Donnell, j. Painter, W. G. and D. E.
Park, executors of R. G. Gray, deceased,
filed exceptions yesterday to the account of
their trust, which was filed 10 days ago by
j. G. Gray, of Philadelphia.
1t is full and explicit. Denial is made
that J. c. Gray is a devisee under the will
of R. c. Gray, but admit him to be legatee
entitled to 10000 by the terms of the will.
They also admit that he is an heir-at-law of
R. G. Gray, but deny he has an interest in
the estate as such. They deny J. c. Gray
had no knowledge of the filing OF the ac-
count and aver that he was familiar with
the matter, even securing counsel with a
view to contesting the case.
They say that his sister, Mary H. Gray,
was told that $685. 900 in pecuniary legacies
given to charitable institutions were void
because of no subscribing witnesses to the
will. They admit no distribution has been
made because of a proposition to compro-
mise and settle by the devisees and legatees
and Sarah G. Park and William G. Gray,
two heirs to J. G. Gray, and others inter-
ested. They aver that j. G. Gray and
others have not said whether or not they
would now compromise and have thus de-
layed the matter of distribution. The
Court is asked to dismiss the petition.

SIX WERE KILLED.
Details of the Disaster on the Lake Shore
Rond-some Very Peculiar Incl

| Details OF ths Disaster the Lake Shore
Rond-some Very Peculiar Incl
dents-Immedinre Cause of
the Wreck.
BUFFALO, March Full details of the
wreck at Hamburg last night show that six
persons we're killed and II seriously injured,
One of the saddest incidents of the accident
was that which befell Joseph d. Baucus, a
bright young lawyer of Saratoga Springs.
| A week ago Mr.. Baucus was married to a
handsome young lady of Rome, N. Y. The
happy couple had spent their honeymoon in
the West, and were returning home on the
| Salina. When the accident occurred the
lady was pinioned in the wreck. Her body
was horribly bruised and her skull badly
crushed. Her husband was injured about
the legs and head.
The most pathetic incident of the disaster
was the miraculous escape of Baby Stewart,
the 18-months-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. z. Stewart, of Rochester. Mr.. Stewart
and wife were in the telescoped passenger
coach, with the baby clasped in its mother S
arms, when the two sections came together.
Mother and father were instantly killed,
being discovered on the floor OF the car,
covered with debris, and crushed almost
Devond recognltlOn. In tue arms Oh tne
mother the baby was found, prattling and
crying mamma, mamma" but the mother
was cold in death. and strong men wept
while the little thing was lifted from the
embrace of the dead mother The bodies of
Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were removed to the
baggage car, and the ladies tenderly cared
for the little orphan.
7. III. Brown, of New York, who was on
the first portion of the train, says that
baggage checker standing on the rear plat
form was the first to discover that the Sleep
ers had broken loose. He informed the
conductor. who signaled the engineer to
stop, and the front of the train came to a
standstill. The conductor then saw the
sleepers coming down the grade at terrific
rate of speed, and shouted to the engineer to
60 ahead; but it was 100 late, and second
later the crash came. This sudden stop
page of the front part of the train without
ascertaining the position of the detached
cars was what caused the collision.
The following is list of the killed:

AN HISTORIC PRISON,
The Gloomy Structure Where the
Duke of Orleans Was Held.
EVERY STONE STEPPED In BLOOD.
Seven Thousand Persons Went From 1t to
Execution in Two Years.
FAMOUS WOMEN IN DUNGEON CELLS

Within the past few weeks the prison of
the Conciergerie has been much spoken of;
for, after lapse of nearly century, it has
once more numbered among its prisoners a
conspicuous member of the French Royal
family, the Duke of Orleans. At the time
of the great revolu ton its aspect was very
unlike its present one. Built in the reign
of st. Louis, it was originally the porter's
lodge-hence its name, Conciergerie-serv-
ants hail and kitchens of that monareh's .
palace, and some of its apartments in the
early part of the present century were still
known as les cuisines de st. Louis.
In 1894 externally it was cheerful enough,
for the first story was occupied by series
of fashionable shops for the sale of gloves,
perfumery, ribbons and nicknacks. Under
these shops. and indeed surrounding them
on all sides, was the series of dismal
dungeons in which persons convicted Of
treason were detained pending their sentence
and its execution. In 1925 the greater part
of the old prison was destroyed, and, with
