NOT HIS FIRST WRECK.
Mr.. COLLINS SURPRISED THAT MORE
WERE NOT KILLED.

The Fireman Blames the New Florence
Operator-The Colliding Engine Run
ming at a High Speed-Miraculous Es-
cape of a 2OO-Pomd Man.
Stephen Collins, ex-Superintendent OF
Mails, was also on the train, but fortu-
nately for him he was not in the rear
car. He says it was one of the worst wrecks
he has seen, and he has been in more than
one. Mr.. Collins says it is remarkable
more people were not killed. Some of the
passengers in his car were thrown from one
end OF it to the other. Mr.. Collins was
badly shaken up, but he escaped unlnJured.
j. NJ. r. Binns, of London, couldn
sleep on account of the blowing OF the
whistle. He got up at Altoona, and was
thrown against a window when the wreck
occurred, but he was not hurt. He says the
passengers were very hungry, having been
without food for II hours.
THE WRECKED TRAINS ENGINEER.
Engineer Jim Doran, of the wrecked
train, said it was one of the worst the road
ever had. He says the collidIng train was
running at full speed. He thinks the
operator either at New Florence or Nineveh
is responsible.
John NJ. Crane, of New York, occupied a
berth in the car next to "Biscav." He
was thrown out into the aisle with some of
the other passengers. As soon as they
realized what had happened they went to
work, without waiting to dress, to release
the living and dead. The escaping steam
made it very bad to push the work OF res
cue.
Mrs. E. A. Parrish, of Quincy, ILL.,, occu-
pied lower berth in the wrecked car. She
had hand badly hurt, and was scalded by
escaping steam. A heavy timber held her
down, but as the car lurched she was able to
release herself, and then she CROPPED her
way out of the steam to the open air.
THEORY OF THE FIREMAN.
Fireman Blachman, of the wrecked train,
holds the operator at New Florence respon-
sible. He says the operator gave the block
signal, which he had no right to do.
George Won Bonnhorst was on the train,
but not on the wrecked car. He escaped
unhurt, and was met at the depot by anxious
friends, who congratulated him on his mar
row escape.
NJ Welfare, man from Cleveland,
weighing 200 pounds, was thrown from the
rear end of the car Biscay to the other
where he alighted and was covered with
debris. His escape was iraculous. He
tells the same story as the other passengers.

A SILENT WARNING.

Mysterious Pamphlet Found by the Gar In
His Private Apartments.
iBY DUNLAP's CABLE coMPANY.1
ST. PETERSBURG, November 14-A SEN
sation has been created in this city by an in
cident which has just happened to
the Gar. He found on table in his pri-
vate apartments an anonymous pamphlet,
which called his attention, in quiet and
convincing manner. to the necessity Of pro-
viding constitution for Russia. The tone
of the argument was perfectly dispassionate
and calm, and the writer advised the Gar to
get rid of his present advisers. who. he said,
are interested for their own personal ends in
keeping him in ignorance of the desires of
his people and the opinions and sentiments
which prevail throughout his dominions.
1t is believed that if the Gar is in any
degree amenable TO reason, and is not so
weakened in mind and character by fear
and the overriding wills of those about MIN
that he is incapable OF independent thought,
this pamphlet cannot fail to make some i'm
preston upon him; but it is doubted if any
thing will ever move him from bis position
of frightened hate toward the people.

UNION PACIFIC VICTORIOUS.
All Eastern Connecting Lines Except the
Burlington Gives In.


Burlington Gives In.
CHICAGO, November 1.-The contro-
troversy between the Union Pacific and
Eastern connecting lines was the one subject
under consideration at to-day's meeting of
the Western and Northwestern divisions Of
the Western Freight Association. A vote
of the members showed that every road, with
the solitary exception of the Burlington,
was at last ready to back down and accept
the terms of the Union Pacific.
Then arose the important question as to
whether action in this direction could be
taken under the agreement without absolute
unanimity The discussion was an animated
one and temporarily threatened to wreck the
association. Serious consequences, however,
were averted, for the time at least, by an
agreement to refer the whole matter to
Chairman Osgood, with a request that he
submit ruling on the subject tomorrow
morning. The Burlington people say that
even il the Union Pacific succeeds in forcing
the new divisions on its Omaha annexations,
the Burlington and Missouri River line
will continue to exchange traffic with the
lines east OF the river on the old basis.

PLAYFAlR ON PROTECTION.
A British Statesman Tears the Mckinley
Bill to Tatters.

A British Statesman Tears the Mckinley
Bill to Tatters.
BY Associated Press.1
LONDON, November 14.-In his speech to
his constituents at Leeds tonight upon the
new. United States tariff legislation, Rt.
Hon. Sir Lyon Playfair, after giving the
tariff history of the United States, said that
the promoters of the Mckinley bill sought
to prove that the measure was needed in
order to equalize the difference between the
higher wages OF the United States and
the lower wages of Europe, but their srgu-
ment would not bear examination. There
is no intimate connection, he said, between
the tariff and wages. As a whole, wages in
America had already been reduced under
high tariff, and there seems to be no ten
dency to raise them. Wages are highest
in the non-protected industries, and
lowest in the protected ones. He declared
that Canada would be able to supply Great
Britain with all the food she now got from
the Q nited States. In less than 25 years
the United States will have no surplus food
to send, SO it is to Eugland's interest to aid
in developing Canadian husbandry.
Referring to the American meat inspec-
ton bill, Sir Lyon declared that the empow-
ering of the President by Congress to boy
colt nations was a brutem fulmen, unworthy
of a great nation. The boycott had never
hitherto been recognized by international
law. He considered that the reciprocity
clause in the Mckinley bill had the same
direction, but deeper meaning. 1t was
safety valve to prevent the high pressure
from blowing up protection.
SHIP DOCTORS DIFFER.
LoNDoN-Lord George Hamilton, First
Lord of the Admiralty, has authorized the
Controller of the Navy to fatty deny Ad-
miral Elliott's statements that the Serpent's
engines were altogether too powerful for her
frame. Lord George declares that the Ser.
pent was amply strong enough to bear the
strain of her engines. He says the COM
mander doubtless lost his course and the
vessel was wrecked before he became aware
of his whereabouts. Captain Burnarbv,
the designer of the Serpent, says that the
construction OF shoddy ships is impossible
in the British navy. The vessels of the Ser
pent's class. he says, are safe, but uncom-
Portable for the crew.
THE o'SHEA DIVORCE CASE.
LoNDoN-The O'Shea divorce case will
come up for trial in the Divorce Court to-
morrow. 1t is likely that it will not take
more than a day to hear all the evidence
Sir Charles Russell will not appear for Mr..
Parnell, the correspondent in the case. 1t
is rumored that Mr. Parnell will appear be-
fore the court and conduct his own case in
person. Captain O'Shea, the plaintiff, will
produce 80 witnesses in his support Mrs.
Steele, sister of Mrs. O'Shea, SAYS that no
matter how the case ends, she is determined
to yindicate her character.

MISS DOANE AHEAD.
She is Awarded $1,000 Damages by
a New York Jury for Libel.
A DUDISH YOUNG SWEDE MULCTED.
1t Grows Out of the Alleged Robbery Of
Two Mexican Ladies
OF SOME COSTLY DIAMOND JEwELRI
rpEcrAL TELEeEAM TO THE DIsrArcH.,

rPEcIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
NEwBURG, n. Y, November 14-The
sensational case, which is the outcome of
the alleged diamond robbery in the summer
hotel at Cornwall, kept by Miss Bertha K.
Doane, came to an end to-day in Judge
Barnard's court here and was won by Miss
Doane. 1t will be remembered that two
Mexican ladies named Sonora Anita Pohl
and Senorita Ana Castaneda Najira, both
said to be wealthy residents OF New York,
were stopping at Miss Doane's house.
During their stay they claimed to have been
robbed of 81, 900 worth of diamond jewelry,
taken from their rooms. Soon after this,
one Gustaf A. Anderson, of New YORK, sp-
peared on the scene.
A SEARCH WARRANT ISSUED.
1t is supposed to have been through him
that a search warrant was procured from
Justice Denniston to search the person and
the private room of Miss Doane for the
missing jewelry. By doing this, Miss
Doane claimed to have suffered grave indig-
mites. Then she brought suits against the
Mexican ladies and Anderson to recover
$1,000 damages in each case for alleged libel
On Monday the cases against the Mexican
ladies went over the term, and to-day, as
stated, after the finest legal sparring and the
spiciest testimony, the suit against Ander-
son was brought to a close. He is young
fellow, with a blonde mustache and light
hair, which he parts in the middle. The
Mexican ladies, VINO were also in court, are
OF dark complexion, neatly dressed and were
deeply interested in the trial. Anderson 10
said to be Swede.
In opening the case for Miss Doane,
Colonel Dickey claimed that the Mexican
ladies were alter notoriety, inasmuch as
they had, he said, claimed to have been
robbed of their diamonds twice while at the
Bay View House, and been shot at on the
highway by unknown parties.
LOVE OF sENSATIONALISM CHARGED.
He said that Miss Doane was not only
compelled to disrobe while the search was
being made, but obliged even to take down
her back hair. 1t WIS shown that the dia-
monds had been purchased in Mexico by
Senorita Najira's father Tor her mother, and
had been IN the family since her birth.
Counsel also tried to introduce the subject
of the Senorita being shot at and to show,
as he said, the love she had for sensation,
but the Court would not permit it. The
Court held that the warrant under which
the search was made was worthless and the
jury could not help giving Miss Dosne a
verdict and they did, saying her damages
amounted to s., 500
Senorita Maj ira, whose diamonds caused
the lawsuit, is said to be a daughter of
Maximilian's Prime Minister, who owned
large estates In Mexico, the Castenado Castle
in the City of Mexico, which was sold last
week to a Mexican syndicate, being part
of them.

behalf of the Times. and said that the tele-
gram had been received IN the ordinary
course through Reuters agency and inserted
in good faith. Mr.. Lockwood, for the plain
tiff, said that his client merely wished to
vindicate his character. A verdict for the
plaintiff was given by counsel, with DAM
ages assessed at e100.
