TERRIBLE WRECK,
Awful Collision on the Long Island Rail-
road - Fourteen Persons Killed and
Many Injured.

Awful Collision on the Long Island Rail-
road - Fourteen Persons Killed and
Many Injured
LONG ISLAND CITY. l.. l., Aug. 2S.--
An accident that cost the lives of four
teen people occurred shortly after mid
night in the little village of Borne,
near Calvary cemetery, in the town of
Newton. The Long Island railroad
train that left Manhattan Beach at II
o'clock was overtallen by the train that
left Rockaway beach few minutes
later. In the frightful collision that
ensued the two rear cars of the five
that made up the Manhattan Beach
train were demolished and the middle
car overturned. Hardly one Of the
scores of passengers aboard the three
cars escaped unhurt.
Following is correct list of the
killed: Col. l.. Buck, So years, ed
itor Spirit of the Times; Oscar
Dietzel, Mrs. Maggie Dietzel, Mrs.
Bertha Weinstein, Sidney Weinstein
IS years, her son; Thomas Finn, brake
man Manhattan Beach train; unknown
woman, unknown man, small black
mustache, letter in pocket addressed to
Alexander Grillett, 30 West Thirty
second street, New York; unknown
man, with letter in pocket addressed
to Mr., Ditman, rs West Fifty-second
street, New York: unknown man with
bunch of keys marked J. J. Hyland,
Westerly, r. l.; f. p. Harding; un-
known man with letter addressed to
Miss McKinna; unknown man, with
letter in pocket addressed to "Mr
Stein, care of Mr.. Goodwin, 3S East
Eighty-sixth street, New York" Twice
as many were injured.
The scene of the wreck was horrible.
Everything was showered with the
blood of the dead and wounded, and
cries of the wounded arose above the
kissing steam. AS fast as the wounded
were taken from the wreck they We're
carried to the relief train and cared for.
The killing of Col. Il. A. Buck, editor
of the Spirit of the Times, was especial
ly 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 en-
bankment. Col. Buck was so badly
hurt that he gasped few times and
died, while DR.. Knapp was uninjured
and did noble service in administering
to the sufferers The body of Col.
Buck lies at st. Johns hospital.

ROME, Aug. 2s.-This city has Just
experienced another bomb explosion.
The bomb was thrown outside the
Alter palace. The palace is the build
ing in which the court of appeals holds
its sittings The pope's guard also has
its club in the building, and several
members of the guard were in the
rooms of the club when the
explosion occurred. They were not
injured and rushed into the street
to learn the cause of the disturbance.
They saw on the pavement the form of
a man who was writhing and moaning
as if in pain. They also found frag-
ments of bomb scattered about in
front of the palace, The only damage
done was to the man lying on the
ground. He proved to be a young
journalist named Riccini. What the
motive was for his action, if he was the
bomb-thrower, can only be conjectured
He is terribly injured and cannot re-
