were returning to their homes in the city on
what is known as the "workmen's train"
together with about 175 or 200 others who
were crowded into the coaches.
The train is due at point
near the union depot at 4:20 O'Clock

mediation Of suburban residents. The
workmen's train was running on a parallel

track connecting the parallel tracks. The
trains were running side by side as the local
sped in on the little cross track.
THE OPEN SWITCH.
Emil Bartel, the switchman, had left the
switch open. The result was that the local,
running at the rate of fourteen miles an

Rtneer could reverse his machine he bad
crashed into the center of the
lowly-moving trainload of mechan-

OLCOTTSPLAN TO BEAGO
A BIG SYNDICATE UNDERWRITERS
THE NEW SECURITIES.

They Are Apt to Be in the Market for
s5o,oOo,OOo of Them at the Very
Start-A Few Minor Details Yet to
Be Fixed-The Report to Be Out This
Week.
NEW YORK. March From members of
the Richmond Terminal Railroad @Com.
pany's reorganization committee 1t was
learned this morning that the committees
report would not be made public for two or
three days yet. probably not until the end
OF the week. The committee held meeting
LAST night and nearly completed their work,
but there are. as one of them said to-day, a
few minor details to be completed
and rounded off before it can be
submitted to the security holders. On the
success Of the plan depends the successful
operation of 1000 miles of railroad in one
system.
1t is believed that there will not be much
news in the committees report when it is
made, the members of the committee ad-
mitting that the outline of it already pub
lished was substantially correct, as we'll as
the values to be placed on the different
classes of securities.
THE FEATURE THAT ASSURES SUCCESS.
To underwrite the new securities to be is
sued under the plan proposed by the COM
mittee, syndicate has been, or is being
formed, which will represent s35, ZOO, ,OOO
According to persons interested nearly all
the money necessary has been subscribed
for that purpose. At the time of the ap-
pointment Of the committee, with Mr.. Oh
colt as chairman, syndicate representing
100000 was formed TO take csre of the
then outstanding loans of the Richmond
Terminal Company. That syndicate, how
ever, it is said. has not been called upon to
advance a dollar, and the members of IL
have transferred their subscriptions
to tie new syndicate 20 un-
derwrite the new securities with
the privilege Of taking the first securi-
ties offered. Subscriptions to the new syn
dicate for many millions Of dollars were
guaranteed yesterday by several well-known
bankers and prominent capitalists. A gem
tleman who is closely identified with the
members of the reorganization committee
told reporter this afternoon that he should
not be surprised il the subscription to the
syndicate amounted to $50. 600, 900.
The interest on the Richmond Terminal
collateral per cent. bonds, due March /
was paid to-day at the Fourth National
Bank.
INMAN's PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.
Nothing has been settled yet about the
successor to John Fl. Inman as president Of
the Richmond Terminal Company. Mr..
Fink, it is said. has declined to accept the
place 1t is believed that IL has been Of
fered to Capt. r. s. Hayes. president of the
New York. and Northern company, all
though it was stated to-day that the presi-
dency has not been definitely offered to any
one. Mr.. Hayes is a well-known railroad
man, and served under Supt. Hoxie in the
Missouri Pacific company's fight with the
strikers. He is connected with many rail-
roads.

FREE COTTON BAGGING.
The Adverse Report of the Minority
of the Committee.

WASHINGTON, March The report Of
the republican minority of the ways and
means committee against the bill placing
cotton bagging, cotton ties and machinery
for manufacturing the same upon the free
list has been prepared by Mr.. Dalzell of
Pennsylvania and filed with the committee
The report states that prior to 1870 the sup
ply OF cotton bagging was in q large part
from importation. Since that time the
American manufacture has been sufficient
to supply the home market. This manu-
facture was or lated by the protective tariff
policy, and is dependent upon the same policy
for its preservation, because Of the differ
ence between the rates Of wages paid here
and abroad. and for other reasons.
1t Is perfectly apparent that any reduction
or duty below the protection point would be
a serious blow TO the laborers Of this coun-
try employed in this industry.
COTTON TIES.
In regard TO cotton ties the report says:
Cotton ties are made of hoop or band iron
or steel cut TO lengths, and furnished with
a simple device at the ends for securing
the tie firmly around the bale. Before
the passage Of the act Of 1890 the produce
tion of cotton ties by American
quantities being imported. In
1891 American mills supplied the home
demand. only a nominal quantity being
imported. Under the act of 1883 cotton
ties were dutiable at So per cent. ad valorem !;
the act of 1890 imposes duty of $40 of a
cent additional on the hoop, etc., from
which they are made
AN UNEXPLAINED DISTINCTION.
''The measure recommended by the ma
jority proposes TO admit them free, but to
preserve the duty on barrel hoops of iron
or STEEL No reason has been given for
making such a distinction, and 1t is as diff
cult to imagine any as il is to imagine why
either should be put on the free list"
As to the proposition TO place on the free
list machinery for the manufacture of cot
ton ties and cotton bag0ing the minority
says: mo reason has been suggested by
the majority for providing one kind of leg
islation for machinery relating to the cotton
industry and another for all kinds of ma
chinery; and we are satisfied, therefore, 20
dismiss this part Of the bill with the remark
only that it is piece Of with what seems to
be the mischievous policy Of the majority
to deal with tariff legislation in spots and
without regard to consistency"
