ENGINES COLLIDE.
An AocIdent in the New England Yard
 Thfe Afkernoon

An Accident in the New England Yard
 This Afternoon.
 There was a serious collision between two freight engines at the New England station in this city shortly after o'clock this afternorn.
 Engine 102, known as the local switcher, was standing on the main track south of the station. Engine S6, known as an extra, running between Hopewell and the Summit" was on a side track almost parallel with engine 102 and was on her way to Hopewell with one car and a caboose. The switch had been left open in order that the train might run on to the main track. Almost at the same time both engines started. The engineers at once saw that there was some mistake and reversed their engines, but it was too late. En- zine 86 ran into the switcher, tearing up the track and throwing the tender against the platform. After reversing their engines both engineers and fire men jumped and were not injured.
 The accident, it is said, was due to the carelessness of the engineer on the switcher, but others say that both engi- neers were cartl,s'. Passenger travel was blocked for few hours. The dam- age will be about $500.

A Good Idea In Wedding Presents.


AT fashionable silversmith's the other
day" says Il woman, while hesitating be.
tween bonbon spoon and a pair of forks.
my attention was attracted to q man 1T
my elbow, who, finishing purchase. poye
the name Of the same bride elect as the ooa
for whom was ho2s;ng n wedding Gift.
He was evidently friend OF the groom, for
he directed his spoon to the bride, care of
the groom, and gave the latter's house nd.
dress. This, it appears, is new wrinkle
of fashion frequently carried out nova
days. The innovation struck me as having
foundation in reason. Undoubtedly many
unacknowledged wedding gifts are such.
from the fact that the bride receives no i'm
preston from the strange names accom-
panying them. If the card becomes sepa-
rated from the gift, Us easily and often
happens, there is no recognizable record
left of the donor
"As this latter cannot inquire why his
present remains unnotced, there is no
chance of the matter being explained. 1t
has been my misfortune in two cases to
send gifts to strange brides from which |
have never heard. Had sent them to her
in the care of the groom, he at least would
have known of the intended honor to his
wedding day."-New York Times.
