Service.


The Old New Hampshire Goes Into New
Service.
New YORK, September 1.-THE old
United States frigate New Hampshire
left her dock at Hoboken, N. j., at noon
today, and in tow of two tugs, proceeded
to lower quarantine to take aboard the
steamer Rugia's cabin passengers and the
steamer Normannia's second cabin pas
sengers. On arrival at lower quarantine
it was found that Health Officer jenkins
had gone off and the work of removal had
to be delayed. The Stonington was care
fully examined today and found unsea-
worthy. The Cepheus, of the Iron
Steamboat Company, was chartered to
remove the passengers from the Stoning-
ton to Fire Island.
Steamers Aurania and La Champagne
arrived today and showed clean bills of
health. After being inspected they were
allowed to drop anchor off the quaran-
tine station, near the Dubbledam and
Kaiser Wilhelm. The OLDHAM and Dub
bledam were inspected today. No chol-
era was found aboard. The Astrakan,
an oil ship, arrived at quarantine today.
As no passengers are aboard she was not
detained. The board of health reported
no cases Of cholera today. The newly
organized disinfectant corps, consisting
of 10 experienced physicians, began oper-
ations today. DR.. Roberts, of the Bu-
reau of Contagious Diseases, said today
that many cases were reported to the
board every day as genuine cholera but
thus far all these cases have been found
to be cholera morbus.
The OLDHAM has been released from
from quarantine. a

THE FRANK JONES DISABLED.
Handsome New Steamer Rendered Help
less on Saturday.
Especial to the Press.l

RocKLAND, September 10.-At about
10 o'clock this morning telephone dis
patch was received in this city stating
that the new steamer Frank Jones, of
the Portland, Mt Desert and Machias
line, was at Dark Harbor disabled and
asking for assistance. The despatch
contained no particulars, but tugs Sum-
mers N. Smith and Frederick M. Wilson
of the Rockland Towboat Company i'm
mediately started for che scene of the
accident 1t was nearly 6 o'clock this
afternoon when the tugs were again
sighted in the outer harbor with the
Frank Jones in tow, and nearly an hour
later before the big boat was made fast
to her dock at the Railroad wharf. Capt.
Dennison was seen by a reporter who
ascertained that the breaking of the re-
verse gear was the cause of all the
trouble. The boat left this city at 5
o'clock this morning, being off Is1esboro
when the accident happened. Being en-
tirely helpless, she lay to until the Juli-
cite, Capt. Oscar Crockett's new steam
er, recognized her plight and came along
side. Those of the Jones's passengers
who were bound for Southwest Harbor
and Bar Harbor were transferred to the
Juliette, the remainder preferring to re-
turn here and take the Richmond to-
night. This was done, the freight also
being transferred to the Richmond. The
Frank Jones will be delayed at this port,
perhaps. four days awaiting necessary
repairs. IN

Among those who accompanied him on
the stage were Norman W.LerInond,

making strenuous efforts in Knox county.

it was evident that Capt. Wicks had
been intimidated. An hour later
word came from Fire Island
observatory saying the Cepheus's lights
were disappearing and she had evident

had fire buckets placed at handy points
on the piazzas and the watch arranged
for the night was begun.

Sandy Hook Is Uncle Sans.

Loon LAKE, NJ. Y, Sept. 1.-THE
President today received a adespatch from
Secretary Charles Foster as to the chol-
era, informing him of the preparations
made and the precautions to be taken at
Sandy Hook. The place where the
camp is situated is five miles from the
Jersey coast and the locality easily pa
trolled and isolated, for which purpose
company of marines has been asked
for. The Attorney General informs the
President that the act of cession by the
New Jersey legislature of the Sandy
Hook reservation reads, "The United
States shall retain jurisdiction so long as
the said tract tract shall be applied to
the military or public purpose of the
said United States and no longer" and
that the protest of Governor Albeit has
no legal foundation under this plain and
unmistakable language.
Another Clash os Authority.
NEW YORK, September lit is ap-
parent that the cooperation of the state
and federal authorities which existed
Friday has broken off. In the face of the
dread calamity there is clash Of author

Foster. The latter said tonight that DR..
jenkins had visited Sandy Hook in COM
pany with himself, DIR. Hamilton,
DR.. Balch and Others. and
agreed that it was admirably

den hostility to all that the Federal gov
ernment had offered. Secretary Foster
said that DR.. Jenkens had refused the
medical assistance of the marine service
rendered him and had refused any feder-
al aid.
Gotham Hears of theWar.
NEwYo DIRK, September 11-Dr. Jenkins
tonight received dispatches stating that
the steamboat Cepheus was unable to
land her passengers at Fire Island owing
to heavy surf there and that she had
returned. Later DR.. jenkins received
report that the passengers on the Cepheus
were forcibly prevented from landing at
Fire Island by 100 armed deputies from
Babylon. The Cepheus, on her return,
passed Sandy Hook at 1910 p. IN. DR..
jenkins will probably go down to her to-
night. No news is likely to be received
here tonight regarding the Cepheus.

FOG WAS THEIR SHRoUD.
Crash Of Trains on the Fitehburg.
Near Boston.
NINE ARE DEAD AND THIRTY
SEVEN BADLY INJURED.

A Crowded Passenger Train Bound to
watertown Had Stopped for Signals
An Express Freight, Going Twenty
Miles an Hour, Crashed Into It-Some-
body Who Is to Blame Is Doing Some
Tall Lying About Signals.
BosToN, September 1.-THE through
reight express train, west bound, on the
Fitchburg railroad, ran into passenger
train standing on the out bound track at
West Cambridge Junction last night,
telescoping the rear car, killing six per-
sons outright and injuring 81 others,
three of whom have since died. There
was dense fog and the engineer of the
passenger train was obliged to run close
to the crossovers at West Cambridge
Junction to see if he had the right of
way from the signal tower. The train
had to wait for the east bound train to
pass before it could pass over to the
Watertown branch. The passenger tram
had just started up when the freight
crashed into the rear car. The engine of
the freight entered the rear car like a
wedge, splitting it into two parts, each OF
which fell outward, while the roof of the
car landed on the top of the locomotive
The recoil from the collision drove the
heavily loaded freight cars backward.
The two cars next to the engine were not
injured, but the ten or twelve cars be-
hind them were smashed into kindling
wood Both tracks wereF completely
blocked for fully 100 yards.
AS soon as the accident occurred, the
various police stations in Boston, Somer-
vile and Cambridge were telegraphed
and surgeons sent to the wreck. Awreck-
ing train also started. When the relief
train reached the wreck,
six Bodies Had Been Taken Out.
These, with two bodies recovered la
ter, were removed to an undertaker's
rooms in Cambridge. The rear brake
man of the passenger train was sent back
about 900 feet to flag the freight. He
states that he signalled the freight and
his signal was answered by two whistles.
the usual answer that the signals were
seen and noted. The engineer of the
freight says he saw no signal nor flag
man. He says the signals at West Cam
bridge indicated that he had the right of
way. He whistled and Immediately af-
ter saw thesrear end of the passenger
train. The freight was late and run
ming 20 miles an hour. He reversed his
engine but the momentum of the heavy
train carried the engine into the car He
was badly shaken up but his fireman
was uninjured.
Itiis straight stretch of track a mile
long where the accident happened and,
under ordinary circumstances, the rear
lights on the passenger train could have
been seen, the fog preventing this last
night. The passenger cars, other than
the rear one, were not much injured.
The shock to the occupants was severe.
