VICTIMS IMPALED ON TIMseRs.
FrightfuI Death of Some of the Passengers
Horrors of the Scene.

Frightful Death of Some of the Passengers
Horrors of the Scene.
There were five cars in the Manhattan
Beach train, all of them open cars. The
RoCkawny train ploughed its way COM
pietely through the two rear cars and part
ly wrecked the third. Passengers in the
three cars were MANNED and aneled
horribly and their shrieks of terror and
pain were awful. The Rocka way engines
boiler resembled a pin cushion from the
timbers of the wrecked cars sticking into
It. Upon these timbers were human
beings impaled, some dead and others
gaping their last. High upon the
top lay the dead body of man.
Upon one of the timbers was i'm
paled the body of Mrs. Oscar Dietzel
Upon another was the body of Sidney
Weinstein, a boy of - years.
The scene of the wreck was indescrib-
ably horrible. The dead and wounded
were massed among the wreckage beside,
upon and beyond the tracks. Everything
was showered with the blood of the dead
and wounded, and the cries of the latter rose
high above the kissing of the steam and
the calls of the frantic trainmen The
Manhattan Beach train was just pulling
out of the block when the crash came and
had just began to move When Engineer
Donaldson heard and felt the accident he
threw open his lever and made all speed
for Long Island City, leaving the three
wrecked cars behind him. The Rockaway
Beach train escaped disaster so far as pas
sengers were concerned none being badly
hurt.
When the crash came passengers were
thrown head over heels over their seats.
Men made for the doors. The women were
crushed behind them. The people in one
car owe their lives, or at least their whole
skins, to two uniformed policemen. The
policemen jumped into the doorways and
cried: Keep still Keep still, boys; if you
are going to get it you'll get it anyway"
The officers had great fight to keep the
mob quiet.
The killing of Colonel E. A Buck, the
editor of the Spirit of the Times, was
especially pathetic. He was returning
from the beach with his son and DIR.
Knapp, of New York. The son was thrown,
torn and bleeding out upon the embank
ment Colonel Buck was so badly hurt
that he gasped few times and died
General manager Z. r. Reynolds and SUI
perintendent w. II. Blood were at the
scene early. They stated that the cause
of the accident was still unknown; that it
was a question of veracity between Tower
Switchman Mutt and Engineer Concrite,
of the Rockaway train. The latter bad
reported that heavy fog prevailed at the
time, which was true. He also declared
that the signals were set at safety, indi-
eating a clear road, and he went ahead

A Question of Wealth.
From Harper's Weekly.

The Eoglish and the Americans are
both rich, but which are the richer? Pet
haps the staListcians know or can find
out, but it is not certain that the statisti-
Cal answer would give the information
that one really wants, and which in
wolves the distribution of wealth as we'll
as It's mere existence. Most Americans
nave to work, but, as is well known, q
considerable proportion OF English peo-
pie toll not nor spin, and m axe no pre-
tense of doing anything foi living. Is
that because the English are richer than
we, Or is 1t matter of taste, or q result
of prim ,geniture? So also it appears
from Close study of documents sub mitt-
cd by Anthony rrOllope and other con-
temporaneous historians) that British
gentlemen in respectable circums tances
employ from five to fifty servants, and
have several houses apiece. all of which
they live in, and travel much besides. An
American who lives in that way is looked
upon as man of very exceptional re-
sources, bur it would seem that an En-
glish gentleman who does not live in that
way is thought to be somewhat strait
ened. At this time of year in England
there are three or four hundred hunt
clubs in active operation, and something
| ly to hounds. But hunting is an expen-
sive sport that takes both time and
money. These English seem to have both
to spa e, and that although these present
| times are not reckoned as times of spec
i.l prosperity in Great Britain. So Mr..
| Davis description in Harper's Monthly
If life in London in the season suggests a
notable multitude of people with money
to spend and fixed habits of spending it
| freely. A returned traveller was speak
| ing the Other day of the shoals of agree
able English people he met in the Riviera
and 10 all the play-places of southern
Eur, pc. When asked if they were rich
people, he said not, but that they were
! able 10 live as they did b. cause they
knew how, and got their moneys worth.
He thought, too, that the well-to-do En-
2lish had more complete domestic ap
paratus ready to hand than most of the
Americans, and could spend a larger
proportion of their incomes on travel
and AMUSEMENT. Houses and furniture
and such expensive vanities they had al
| ready by Inheritance, and were not COM
PEELED 10 spend useful money IN proyld-
ing them. Regard the Engli,h habit OF
publishing novels in such costly form ?
Are not ali the habits of living that we
borrow from the British, from dock
tailed horses to indoor menservants,
more costly than the customs they super
sede? They must have great deal of
money to spend, those enterprising is
landers. No one would hesitate to say
that the Americans are richer than the
Russians, or the Italians, or the Germans
or even the thrifty French, but the Briton
gives us pause. Is he really richer than
we are, or is he merely an older son, and
dweller in land where servants work
for small pay, and clothes are cheap,
and novels are rented out by Nude, and
the tax on stimulents is laid for revenue,
and not for prevention, and where to
loaf and invite ones soul is esteemed
preferable thing to toll.
