THE LAST GROWN PRISONER. Prospects Of Freedom for Daniel COughlln-New Trial Granted-Small Hopes Of Conviction.
 OTTAWA, H., Jan. 19.-Daniel Coughlin, the only man living of the three who were sentenced to pass their lives in prison for the murder of Dr. Cronin, Is probably a free man. The verdict which condemned
 him was to-day set aside and his case was
 tically impossible to convict him again.
 Patrick Dinan, who swore that Ooughlin hired from his livery stable the white horse which carried Cronin to his death, died many months ago. His evidence was the main thing which led conspiracy to murder. Bsg9s, O'Su1livan and Burke, who were tried with Cough lin, are dead. Kunz was practically ac- quilted and cannot be tried again. The state attorney declares that he can hardly convict one man of conspiracy and direct charge of murder was not proven against Coughlin in the first place. The reversal is based on the ineligibility of Bontecou and Clark, jurors.
 The court shows by these mems own statements that they were prejudiced, that they had formed opinions which, when juggled by the court and attorneys, were to all appearances found to be groundless or regarded as jurors, excuses. There were forty-six errors claimed by the counsel for the defendants, and of these the court did not think it worth while to consider more than the one touching the two jurors. When these two men were examined as ju- TOTS Coughlin had exhausted the number of peremptory challenges allowed by law and could do no more than aver his objec- tions to the sitting of the two men as ju- TOTS.
 JOLIET, H., Jan. 19-Daniel Coughlin was seen to- night. He claimed that he was innocent of any oomplicity in the murder of Cronin, and declared that Burke and O'Sullivan were as innocent as he

TRAINS TELESCOPED.

Three Killed and Thirteen InJured-
 The Signal Man Missing.
 JERSEY CITY, Jan. 13.-A train bound for Philadelphia on the Pennsylvania road broke down on the meadows just beyond the Hackensaok this evening. The signal man had gone beyond his block, signalled the Chesapeake and Ohio express, immedi- ately following, that the road was clear. The express crashed into the stalled train, telescoping 1t. Three persons were killed and thirteen injured.
 Signal Agent June could not be found. The police have sent out general alarm for his arrest. When the train bound for Newark stopped brakeman WAS sent back with lantern which he waved, but the engineer of the express did not notice him. The crash when the express struck the local could be heard for a great distance. The engine of the express ploughed into the last car of the local for twenty feet, ripping it open as if of cardboard. By a miracle third train was not wrecked and no one aboard was hurt. After the col lision there was a scene of wild excite ment. There were heard the screams of frightened men, women and children and the groans and cries of the wounded,

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

The House Passes Amendments to
 the Act Designed to Remedy the
 Defects Exposed by the Gresham
 and Councilman Decisions.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Iu the house MT. Patterson called up the bill amending the interstate act.
 The report accompanying the measure gays the bill Is intended to obviate the construction which the courts have placed on the words "the same line," as they ap- pear in the fourth section of the act. They have held that where several railroads connect, constituting one line for the transaction of bushes 8, any less number forming in part the same line may charge, without violating the law a greater rate than Is charged over the entire line. Un- der this ruling section of the act would be practically nugatory. and e railroad could charge more over Its own line than over Its own and connecting lines for 6 longer distance. The pooling section of the act is amended by striking out the word "poop and inserting the words "any contract, agreement or arrangement" It further provides that railroad companies may "make contracts, agreements and sr- engagements" for apportioning among them. selves their traffic or their gross or net earnings under certain conditions to be i'm posed by the interstate commerce commis. sion. The bill further provides that q common carrier, who is 6 corporation, may be indicted for . violation of any provis. ions of the act.
 | MT. Lind of Minnesota moved to strike out section of the bill, which is the sec ton amending the pooling section. | The motion was agreed to.
 Mir. Bostner of Louisiana offered ar amendment requiring all railway common carriers to aooept from connecting inet loaded cars or trains to be hauled to thu
 point of delivery ct rate not exceeding
 that they charge for similar service ovel
 their own lines. Agreed to-S5-SS.
 The bill was then passed.
 The next bill called was one reported b,
 Mir. Storer of Ohio amending the inter
 state commerce law. The only objec i sought to be accomplished Is to make tn
 printed and written documents in the pos
 session of the commission admissible 6 legal evidence with the force of simila documents of the executive and depart ] mental officers. Passed.
