TO INVESTIGATE THEMSELVES.

The Present Grand Jurors Proposed TO
Find Out Who Give Away Their Doings.
The present Grand Jury which is rap.
idly resolving itself into the most curi-
ous body of the kind the county
ever had. has turned It's attention from
Investigating assaults. thefts. robbers and
the usual matters brought to the attsn-
ton OF graud jurias aud gone to investi-
eating itself. They want TO find out. IL
possible, the cause OF unfavorable COM
ment Oh their actions. and they proDose
TO ask each other who was the guilty par
ty among them who had violated his oath
by making public the secrets of the
Grand Jury room. That some one had
done this the Grand Jurors were unit
in saying, for The JERSEY CITY NEWS
and other newspapers had made known
about all the business of Importance the
Grand Jury transacted.
Each Grand Juror expressed surprise
that this information leaked out and got
into print and each denied being the
author or the news. 70 finally settle the
matter with view to having the Offend
er punished, the Grand Juror con-
cluded to investigate themselves.
at meeting held several days ago a
committee of seven Of its members was
appointed to make thorough research
into the facts, and to ascertain, Ii
possible, who made Known the
results Is. pr.s, T. tas asd Vvsstlsatons Mvssr dn
mlssioners, and other matters that the
Grand Jury did not desire the public to
know. This peculiar committee met
yesterday at the Court House and be gan
its labors. Il is not known that
the, committee did anything be-
yond talking. Naturally, no
one anticipates aug very seri0ns results
from such curious committee and it is
not believed that the leaking mem
bers will be brought 70 the notice Of the
court. At is thought, however. that
thelG lGrand Jury when IL adjourns for the
term will present to the Court written
grievance which this committee will
draw, complaining of the acts OF the un-
known member or members OF the Grand
| Jury who has let the public into this

The concert given by the Linef Russian

Those who were fortunate enough to hear
it will undoubtedly cherish the memory OF
the appearance of these sweet Russian

love duett, accompanied by dance, ps-

boards was held last night. The Hacken-
sack Water Company reported that

Thus far S48, 900 has been received. Annie
Gluck requested that the board reim-
burse her for damages resulting from the
bursting of a water main, causing her
property to be flooded The inspector was
instructed to ascertain the extent
of damage. Fennessy & Co., made
proposition to theboard con-
cerning water supply for their
factory. Some time ago water was shut
off from their property because they failed
to pay their bills. They went out of busi-
ness at that. time. Last night they COM
municated that they intend starting up
again. and requested the board to allow
them to pay their water bill by INSTALL
ments and be privileged with q supply.
The petition was denied. The Day
Nursery petitioned that the board furnish
water to that institution free Of charge.

claimed, already borne fruit. At meets

made that hereafter no pupils shall be

custom in some public schools adjacent
to Catholic Churches to release such

from superintendent Long. and its
propriety has never before been
questioned. The new committee
discovered an old rule that fitted the case

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
Two Trains Collided at Mid
night Twelve Miles
from Milan.
THE WRECKAGE SET AFIRE
PASSENGERS Instantly Killed, Whils
Others We're Burned to Death
Because Assistance Could
Not Reach Them.

ROME. Nov. 80 lS93.-News has reached
last night at Melzo. a town in Lom>
hardy, twelve miles northeast of Milan.
The trains. an express from Milan for
Venice, and goods train laden with in
fammable material, collided just outside
Melzo. The wreckage was set on fire by
the lights on the trains and most horr1-
BILE scene followed.
The accident occurred about the middle
OF the night. A number of the passengers
were instantly killed. while others were
pinioued by the masses OF wreckage lying
upon them. Those who were un1nJured
worked heroically to release the fmpris~
oned men ana women and succeeded III
many cases in doing so.
HORRIBLE SCENE.
The flames spread rapidly. however.
and it was only short time before the
heat was so intense that no one could APP
proach the burning coaches and goods
wagons. The cries OF the dying and of
the wounded who saw horrible death
staring them in the face were heart rend-
ing. but 1t was impossible 20 render
them any assistance.
Lumber of members Of the Chamber
of Deputies were on the express train and
dispatches from them are arriving at
the Chamber reporting their safety and
briefly describing the fearful scenes at
tending the disaster.
THE DEAD AND INJURED.
Full details of the accident are not yet
at hand. owing TO the fact that the tele-
graph liue is working badly. 1t is impos-
sible to learn the exact number of the
killed, though it Is stated that twenty
persons lost their lives.
Forty injured persons are reported TO
have been rescued from the wreck. A

receive the injured and to this temporary
hospital they were removed.

of the tugboat D. S. Arnot, after tins
of much peril.
STORY OF THE RESCUE.
Captatn W. B, ElWelI OF tne Ar66t.

rescue. He said: 1--we were coming
down from Boston with barge In
tew but when we passed Fauck~

the Sound, the wind was from the
southeast and blowing half gale. As
we came down the sound the wind snlf-
ed to the southeast aud the weather bs-
came squally. The seas were running
high and tumbled with force as uHn-
gerous as on the ocean Itself.
"About four O'Clock Yesterday morn

II told them to wave light to us IL

Upon reaching Port Morris / found
that there were four men and q woman

wore only her night clothing. She
