Two Were Killed.

NEW YORK, Dec, "a passenger
train bound for Tuckahoe was wrecked
at the junction of the New York Central
and the Harlem railroad at One Hundred
and Forty-ninth street. Two persons
William Fleming and an unknown man
were killed and several others were
slightly injured. Tho switches were
turned properly and were safely passed
by the entire train with the exception
of the last car, which mounted the rails
in crossing the frogs, and, becoming de-
tached from the forward cars, fell on its
side. There were forty passengers in
the car, and the widest excitement en-
sued. None, however, were seriously in
jured, and after time proceeded to
their homes. The unfortunate men
that met their death were railroad en-
ployes who were walking along the track
and were struck by the car as it left the
rails. Both were killed instantly, and

CLERICAL DIsooNrHNT.
Why the Clergy Is Opposed to the Bra
zilian Republic.

Rio DE JANEIRo, Dec. 3.-The antago-
nism between state and church is becom-
ing acute. The government charges the
clergy with having engaged in machina-
tions for the restoration of the empire,
and the clergy accuse the government Of
being hostile to the interests of the
church. The clergy never liked the re-
public, and have remained, with few
exceptions, attached to the imperial
house. Their feelings OF hostility to the
republic have been intensified by irregu-
larity in the payment Of salaries. When
the official connection between church
and state was declared abolished, the
federal government engaged to provide
for the payment of all salaries TO the ex-
isting functionaries of the hierarchy and
to the support of the chairs in the semi
naries for one year, leaving 1t to the
provinces to do as much as they pleased
in the interest of religion. Most of the
provinces have chosen to do nothing,
and where priests have died the affairs
remain vacant for want Of a salaried
minister.
The Brazilians, unaccustomed to vol
untary contribution for clerical sup
port, are learning to neglect religion,
and the church sees the people slipping
away from it, The circumstances have
created bitter feeling, and tended to in
tensify the attachment of the clergy to
the Catholic house of Bragania, which
never neglected the church. The govern
ment, on the other hand, which had paid
little attention to the signs OF clerical
discomfort, now recognizes these clergy
l. lie Ill
doubtless be taken ON the reassembling
of congress towards abolishing any re-
manning responsibility of the former
governmenment which supports church
establishment. Mgr. Spolverni, the
papal nuncio, will shortly take his de-
parture from Brazil to report the condi-
dition Of affairs at the vatican.

ten defendants $40 each. City Prose-

any gainsaying of his demand. At
