NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-A horrible accident
occurred early this morning in the middle

near Eighty-fifth street, resulting in the
death of six people and the painful injury
of several more. The Boston express,
which had been emptied Of its passengers,
was moving slowly through the tunnel

completely demolishing the TWO last cars.
They took fire almost INN ediately, and the
smoke pouring up through the opening of
the roof of the tunnel attracted the police
men, and the fire engines were quickly on
the scene. The flames were eXtiaguished
as soon as possible, and then the work
OF rescue began. As the firemen
sight was awful. The dead and
roasted bodies, in all conceivable attitudes,
were found. One man was still alive when
taken out, but died in a few minutes Every
fresh body brought out steamed as if it had
been paTbOiled.
The dead are: Mrs. Nellie Supple, John
Hancke, John Murray and James Flynn,
car-cleaners; ii. Killian, train-boy, and an
unknown man, burned beyond recognition,

THE HOUSE.
The Democrats Resort to Their Old Tactics Of
Breaking Quorum

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-In the House to- day
Cannon reported from The Committee on Rules a
resolution for the immediate consideration of
the business reported by the Committee on Judi
ciary, the first bill to be the for the relief Of
the Supreme Court with the Senate amendments.
After an Intellectual effort by Blount and
Brecklnridge to defeat the resolution, Cannon
took the floor, stating that he would say a few
words as to the merits OF The proposition.
McMillln OF Tennessee inquired whether Can.
mons object was not the prevention of the forty
minute debate allowed under the rules.
Cannon replied In the affirmative. In view of
the dilatOry motions already made on the Demo-
cratic side under the lead OF McMiD the
Republicans accepted the notice from that side
that |; did not desire TO facilitate business.
McMiliin said the Democrats would meet Cam

on the ayes and noes great body OF Democrats
left the hail. The vote resulted: Ayes -, noes

The question then recurted on The demand for

ayes and noes McMillln called the Democrats
from The cloaS-Toom TO his support.
Having Obeyed the signal long enough TO ac-
complsh McMiiiin's object The Democrats once
more disappeared.
The motion was carried-150 to S-a quorum

in Sausalito.
When Ike Weir went into training about
a twelvemonth ago for his fight with Billy
Murphy he picked out Sausalito as his
biding place and became well acquainted
there. Such liking did he take for its
sloping hills and placid waters that ever
since whenever he wants to enjoy quiet
little time in his own eccentric way he goes
over there to do so.

prepared to have a right royal time. A
couple of women were added to the process
sion and in due course the town was painted
bright carmine. Nothing occurred to mar
the beauties of the orgies until one of the
women succumbed to. the copiOus llbatiOns
she had indulged in and rolled into the
street. A good Samaritan happened to pass
by in the shape of resident tradesman,
and to him the drunken Spider" Appealed
for assistance to get the woman back to
Glnn'S resort
The man complied with the request. In
side he was treated and. of course, stood
treat himself, breaking $50 piece to do so.
When the stranger was about to leave Weir
demanded that he pay for the drinks for
which he owed, but the bluff didn't work,
and as the man persisteEtly refused to dis

and main. The battle was going sadly

| solved to take hand in it, and thus re-en-
forced, the pugIlfstic kingpin soon mas
tered the plucky mechanic and gave him a
brutal beating.
Yesterday Ike and CHM were both brought
before the local Justice and. after the facts
stated had been proven, II fine OF $50 was
imposed upon Weir, with the alternative of
fifty days in Jail, while the resident tax
payer was allowed to go free, though fully

WINTER RACING.
Clifton Closed Up aud Dundee
Takes its Place.

When the New Jersey courts closed up
the winter racing at Clifton by heavily
fnng the proprietors and sentencing some
of them TO years sojourn in States
Prison. it was thought that probably win
ter racing in New Jersey would be knocked
on the head, as Gutenberg, Clifton's rival,
was believed to be equally guilty with Cliff
ton and the same dose of justice awarded
managers as was dealt to Clifton. But it ap-
pears just the reverse in the case.
!. Another race-traek has been opened at
Dundee, only two miles from Clifton, and
the same crabs that gruelled through the
Clifton quagmires are now suffering misery
there. Indeed the closing of Clifton has
only increased the amount of winter racing,
for whereas Clifton and Gutenberg used 70
run on alternate days. now Gutenberg and
Dundee race every day of the week. 1t is
strange that what is Illegal at Clifton is all
right at Dundee, only two miles away. II is
rumored that the county officials have large
financial interests in the Dundee and Gutten-
berg tracks, which they had not at Clifton.

Suburban handicaps, the two great spring
events of the year, fell due yesterday In New

Inc House Committee Will Adversely Re-
port The Senate Bill.
Two Substitutes Voted Down by the 0ppo-
nentS Of Frea COinage-The MIC
aragua Canal Bill.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2O.-The House Coia-
age Committee to-day. by a vote of 8 to A..
decided to report the Senate Free-coinage
Bill adversely, with recommendation that
it do not pass.
Inc Tour members in minority were Car
ter, Bartine, Bland and Williams The two
hrSt-named are Republicans and the two
last Democrats. The majority was Wick
nam, Walker, Comstock, Knapp and Tay-
lor, Republicans, and Tracy, Wilcox and
Vaux, Democrats
When the free-coinage men found they
were defeated OH the Senate Free-conage
Dill, Carter moved as a substitute-first, bill
Tor the free coinage of the American prod
uct, and next, one for the purchase of 10, 600, =
ooO ounces OF silver for three months and
o,oOo,C00 ounces each month thereafter.
Both were defeated. Only Carter, Bartine
and Bland voted for the first, and Carter
and Bartine for the second proposition.
The Senate Free-coinage Bill will now go to
the foot OF the over-burdened House calen-
dar, with the committee recommendations
that 1t do not pass.
before the committee closed its hearings
this morning Congressman-elect Jerry
Simpson of Kansas argued in favor of free
coinage. The farmers demanded more
money. he said. He did not care if free
coinage did cause foreign silver to come to
the United States; he wished it would. 1t
couldn't come too soon, for it would give the
people more money.
Alonzo Waddell of South Dakota, Pierre
Bumbert of Boston and Senator Stewart
spoke in favor of free coinage.
Z. B. Bacon, representing the Chamber
OF Commerce and Merchants Association of
Milwaukee, submitted an argument against
free coinage.
The bill will be reported to the House to-
morrow. The majority report will not go
into an argument of the question. The
silver men generally are disposed to regard
tO-day's action as practically the end of sill
yer legislation for this Congress.
An effort will be made to have the bill
acted on by the House, but its friends do
not express much hope of success. The
an,i-silver men are well pleased, and Repre-
sentative Walker expressed his opinion this
afternoon that the bill would never see light
again in this Congress.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-A Washington
special says: Friends of the President say
no matter what silver legislation should be
enacted between now and the Attn of Msrch,
