A collision took place on the Whining
ton a. Northern railroad Tuesday at 4, 10
p. No., at point about quarter Of "a mile
north of Greenville station. Engine No.
IA, with an extra freight attached, dashed
into the rear of south-bound freight No.
20, which had stopped at that point. En-
CINE No. IA was upturned and six of its
cars were thrown off the track. The rear
car of No. 20, a powder car containing
about seven tons oil black powder next IL,
and another freight car were wrecked
None Of the train hands were hurt seri-
ously.
There is sharp curve at the point re-
ferred to and No. IA was coming down
grade at the rate of 10 miles an hour.
Engineer w. S. Prutzman, Immediately
saw his danger, blew for brakes and in
simultaneously set the air brakes on his
engine. But IL was all too late. The engi-
neer jumped for his life. Fireman Fred
Stierle ran back on a coal car. Prutzman
struck on the roadbed, receiving a bad
scalp wound. An artery was severed and
he bled great deal. His only other injury
Is sprained ankle. Engineer Prutzman
10 reported progressing well this morning
Fireman Sterile remained on the coal car
until the moment of the collision. The
shock dashed the coal cars off the track
and the fireman with them rolling to the
ground among the mass of flying wreck
age and coal. Three of the wrecked coal
cars passed over the iireman's body. His
escape from injury is miraculous.
The powder cans in the closed box car
were thrown out and the contents spilled
around the track. How il was that an OK
plosion did not occur is unexplainable, at
any rate it is extremely fortunate. Had it
occurred II is difficult to see how any of
the train hands could have escaped death
or very serious injury. The greater danger
was of course from fire as no degree of
hammering of the black powder would
have caused an explosion.
In few minutes DIR. Green of Green
vile appeared oil the scene and within five
minutes Colonel Henry A. du Pont arrived
from the E. l. du Pont yards. The injured
men were quickly cared for and Engineer
Prutzman was sent to his home, No. l01
South Jackson street.
At the Wilmington & Northern railroad
Office yesterday it was stated that the
accident was due to the neglect of the
tlagman of No. 20 to go back on the track
and flag the following extra freight. Had
this been done there would have been no
collision. 1t was simply gross negligence
Of duty.
The track was cleared of wreckagc
and within two hours trains were
running. The wrecking train is on the
spot this morning attending to the upset
engine No. IA and the wrecked and de-
rallied cars.

Developments of the Inquest Over the
Victims of tho Central Theatre Fire.
Associated Press Dispatches by Special Wires:
" PHTLApELpuIA, May 11.-Coroner Ash
bridge to-day began the inquest Of the
bodies of the six unfortunate members of
the Devils Auction" troop, who came to
their death in the Central Theatre fire, and
seven of the audience who died afterwards
from burns received. Six men had been
selected as Jury with unusual care, all
being connected with the building trades.
The IS members of the company were
first called upon to tell their thrilling ex-
perience, following a line of questioning
calculated to show the warning they re-
ceived and the means provided for their
escape, with view to fixing the response
bility for the loss of the six member Of the
troupe.
There is no doubt from their testimony
that some one. probably an employee
whom Stage Manager Butler declared was
sent by Manager Gilmore Immediately on
the discovery of the fire, came to the
passageway beneath the stage, upon which
their dressing rooms opened, and shouted
to them TO run for their lives. AT this
time, however. the ceiling above them was
already burning and the sparks were drop
ping in showers through holes in the stage.
Most of the female members were but
half dressed or in their stage costumes,
while the men were found better prepared
for flight. While the latter raised the alarm
and assisted the ladies to escape, it was
plainly evident that the fire spread so
rapidly that there was no time to enter
each of the 10 dressing rooms and warn
the occupants to fly. Apparently the
warning from the passage way came so
late that in several instances the first init
nation of danger was conveyed by sparks
dropping through holes in the stage floor.
There were two stairways leading to the
exits above but the players had always
used that upon the east side leading to the
stage door in the rear and naturally all
crowded upon this, delaying the escape of
those in the rear. who rushed back again
seeking another way out which some in
their confusion failed to reach.

THOSE BOY rs rHIs2
A Mystery Surrounded the Identity of a
Young Man at the Delaware Uospftal.


a young man, apparently Ii or is years
old, whose name is supposed to be William
Bell, died at Delaware Hospital Monday
night of meningitis. There are some mys-
FERROUS circumstances connected with the
Young mans identity. He formerly
boarded at No. 227 Shipley street, where
he was first taken ill. While living there
lie said his name was William Bell. He
became violently ill at his boarding house
several days ago, and Chiefof Police Black
burn was notified Of his condition.
The chief of police at once called at his
boarding house to see the young man, and
later had DR.. Charles E. Baird cali and
examine him. DIR. Baird foMnd the
patient suffering from brain fever. His
removal to the hospital was speedily ad-
,vised and at $50 o'clock Monday night the
young man breathed his last.
In response to a telegram from Chief of
Police Blackburn, Mrs. William. Bell of
No. 1900 Passayunk avenue, Philadelphia
came to this city Tuesday and called at the
hospital to ascertain whether or not the
boyewas her son. The mother said she
had not seen him in four years, and when
last seen her son had dark HAIR. The
deceased has auburn hair. Although.the
boy previous to his death saidlhs.name
was William Bell, his mother failed to
identify him,

Result Of the Case of the Duquesnc Forge
Company VS.. the Puscy 81 Jones Com

hChhit pi tnr thso OF tue Duuutbne Offso
Company VS.. the Puscy 81 Jones Com
pnny.
In the United States district court, on
Tuesday afternoon the jury in the case of
the Duquesnc Forge Company of l'ittsburg,
"a, vs.. the Pussy & Jones Company Of
this city brought in verdict in favor of
the plaintiffs for S35057. A summary of
the case Is Us follows:
The Pussy g. Jones Company built for
the Wilmington Compress and Warehouse
Company OF Wilmington, N. c., u cotton
press for which 1t was to receive S3S 600.
In the contract with the warehouse COM
papy all the material was TO be shipped
and ready TO be put up by October 10Th,
1850. The Duquesne Forge Company made
a contract with the Pussy G. Jones Com
pany to build for this press two wrought
iron links weighing about 4S,00D pounds,
which were TO bc ready for delivery August
list. The forge company failed to make
the links until November 2lst, and they
did not arrive at Wilmington. N. c., until
December 18th, too late for the use of the
cotton press during the cotton season of
the fall OF 1880 The warehouse company
refused to accept the press, owing to the
delay in having the links ready.
The Pusey IL Jones Company subse-
quently made settlement with the ware
house company by accepting 1872, 100,
tuefcof losing oO,JUt. Inc forge com pdEy
brought suit against the Pusey & Jones
Company for $3,26j.2i the price of the
links with interest from November 2lst,
1889. The Puscy u Jones Company made
o counter claim of $500, which was lost
lin the settlement. and also of $i34 for men
remaining idle while waiting for the links
and also Of about $500 for the difference in
tho interest in the settlement of 49,, 100.
Judge Wales, in charging the jury upon
tho law of the case, held "Anticipated
profits which have been prevented by the
breach of a contract are not recoverable in
the way of damages, where such damages
are remote uncertain or speculative, but
it is well settled by the highest authority.
that the profits which would have been
realized had the contract been performed
and which have been prevented by its
breach, are included in TIT damages to be
recovered i'll every case where such profits
are not open to the objection of uncertainty
or OF remotcness, or where from the ex-
press or implied terms of the contract it.
self, or the special circumstances under
which IL was mode, ii may be reasonably
presumed that they were within theiptent
and mutual understanding of both1parties
at the time it was entered into
The process Of reasoning by which the
| Jury agreed upon verdict in favor of the
| plaintiff for Sa50.57 is matter of specula-
ton. but it is thought it divided the claim
OF damages OF the Pusey l. Jones Company
and the wages of the men and interest and
| gave to the plaintiff the difference on its
claim after deducting one-half of the dam
ages OF the Pusey d Jones Company.
