THE COAL COMBINE,

The Purposes of the Combination as
 shown by the Report to the House
 Committee.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Messrs. Coombs and Patterson have practically completed their report to the house special commit tee on the investigation into the Reading anthracite coal mbinstion. The report will show that the aim of the combination Is to drive out independent operators and obtain complete eontsol of the anthracite coal industry, and that 1t is sought to do tbis by fixing high freight rate on coal so as to make it profitable for individuals to turn in their product to the combination. The report will recommend the passage of the bill heretofore agreed upon by the commerce committee which gives the in terstate commerce commission power to keep down freight rates. It was con templated to recommend legislation for the divorce of the transportation and coal producing industries, but the two gentle men found 1t imprscticable by oonstitu- tional means to deal effectively with this matter, though of opinion that it is really the most efficient remedy.

An Application to Institute Action
 Against the Directors-A Hearing
 Granted.
 ALBANY, Jan. 16.-An application has been made through Messrs. Root & Clarke, attorneys, to the attorney general of the state, asking that an action be instituted against the directors of the Panama Rail- way company, the Inter Oceanic Canal company and certain stockholders of re- cord who really represent, as alleged, the canal company, having in view the re- moval of the directors, the disfranchise- ment of the stock held by the canal oom- pany end the appointment of a receiver. The attorney general has directed the at torneys for the railroad to be notified that a hearing will be held at Albany on Satur- day next, for the purpose of determining whether the action shall be instituted or not.
 The complaint states that the railway was incorporated in this state and alleges that the policy of the canal company since assuming control of the railroad has been one of abuse of the franchise property and privileges of the railroad and inimical to the people of the state and of their fellow citizens of the United States, and if allowed to be further carried out will be subver- sive of the public purposes intended to be eubserved by the charter of the company.

Wrangles for Three Hours over the
 Details ofthe Home Rule Bill.
 LONDON, Jan. 16.-A cabinet council
 lasting three hours was held to-day, and 1t
 was rumored that the friction between mem
 bers of the cabinet ss to the details of the
 home rule bill showed considerable aug
 mentation since the last meeting. The
 financial terms of the bill are said, how
 ever, to be substantially arranged. In the first home rule bill the ratio of Ireland's contribution to the imperial excbequer wss one fifteenth, totaling 8, 242. 900 per an- mum. This estimate was based on valua- tion of property in Great Britain and Ireland. ratios of income-tax and properties on which death duties were Assessed. MT. Parnell accepted the estimate while protesting against its injustice and insccuraoy. The new proposals. based upon juster data will make Ireiand's contribution only one twenty third, equalling e2, ,070, ,e65 per an : mum. Another important feature is that a loan shall be granted from the imperial to 1 the Irieh excht quer to enable the Irish ad- | minis.rstion to start fair. The more reasonable of the Irish party will hesitate before opposing this financial scheme. l The demands of the Redmond section that Ireland's contribution should be only q, 600,0 ,000 will not be entertained.

A SERIOUS SMASH-UP
ON THE aPEwIKY" NEAR wELLSBURG LAST
EVENING.
A Fireman Killed and Six Passengers Wounded
The Long List of Casualties Reported
Yesterday From About Town.

About q quarter Of eight o'clock last
evening the rumor became current over
large section of the city that serious
accident had taken place on the 'Pe-
wiky," not far from Wellsburg, and that
several people were killed and many
wounded.
There had been about two hundred
Wellsburg people in the city during the
day, many Of them on visits to relatives
and friends, and for short time after
the first news of the accident came to
hand, the town was filled with the live
lest apprehensions, as the evening
train north-bound-the one which
had been involved in the
wreck was known to have been crowded
with returning Brooke county citizens.
Soon a number of private kilograms
came for people In this city, but they
gave no inkling OF the extent
or cause Of the accident, or
the number of injured, aud even
when a telegram came through rail-
road channels, saying the fireman had
been killed, there was no clue as to
whether il was collision or derail-
ment, nor as 10 the number OF passen-
gers killed or hurt-if any. Some Of the
people down about the depot didn't
seem to know there had been an acct
dent, and others would tell little or
nothing, but by dint of hard work the
following details were secured:
The wreck occurred near Bowman's
coal works, about mile and half be-
low Wellsburg, and was caused by the
fianges on the engine wheels giving
way, letting the engine down on the
ties. These were unable to stand the
pressure and gave way, and the train
went over the bank, the engine only
stopping when about twenty-five feet
from the edge Of the water. The
engine was badly demolished
by the accident, and the
tender and cars were left in q sorry
fight, while the track and the neigh
boring bank were almost completely
torn away. Engineer Nelson, with
great presence Of mind, reversed his
engine before he jumped, He escaped
unhurt, but Fireman Thomas Cusick,
OF Steubenville, was not so fortunate,
and was instantly killed, being crushed
and scaded beneath the ruins
Of the engine. Conductor Marshall was
ia front of the second car, and was
slightly wounded in one shoulder and
hip. Baggagemaster Marshall had a
very narrow escape from being killed,
but got off with slight injuries. The
passengers wounded are:
MRS. JOHN BLANKINsoP-Head and
arm hurt.
Mrs. LETTIE GALLowAY-Shoulder,
head and hip injured.
HENRY ZILLIHEN-Leg dislocated and
bruises.
Mrs. JOHN DooNAN-Cut in arm; head
and back hurt.
NJ. A. JoNEs-Right shoulder hurt.
All the wounded will recover. A
number of others than were mentioned
sustained unimportant cuts and bruises,
including a child cut an the forehead.
The track was bockaded until well on
towards morning.
