Jewish Rabbits in Court to Answer for
Their Peculiar Method of Strengthening
Cattle.
LONDON, Oct. 16.-A test case, which
caused considerable excitement among
the Hebrews of the United Kingdom,
was ended to-day at Aberdeen, where
the trial had been proceeding for several
DAYS.
Rabbi Littman and Rabbi Zamek were
charged with cruelty to animals for
killing bullock according TO the Jewish
rite. Several Hebrew doctors and others
testified that the Jewish method Of
slaughter was less painful than the
method employed by Christians, and
that the flesh of animals thus slain was
healthier than that of animals killed by
the Christian method.
The prosecution Submitted evidence
to show that the animal on the killing of
which the suit was based lived in con
scious agony for seven minutes after its
throat had been cut Other instances
were cited where animals had lived
longer than this. after having their
threats cut, The flesh Of the animals
killed by the Jewish method underwent,
according to the prosecutions witnesses,
morbid changes that rendered it unfit
for food purposes.
To-day the magistrate decided that in
view of the difference of opinion among
the experts who had testified, the charge
of cruelty had not been proven. The
rabbis were, therefore, discharged.

FATHER SPLVESTER HURT.
Severely Injured In an Accident on the
Old COLONY railroad, Last Thursday.

Old Colony railroad, Last Thursday.
The Rev, Father Sylvester, rector of
the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, this
city, met with a severe accident at
Taunton, Mass, last Thursday. In
company with Daniel Bickta and John
Fox, of this city, Father Sylvester at
tended the dedication of st. Anselm's
College, at Manchester, N. H., yes
terday week. Thursday afternoon at
o'clock they started for home, reaching
Lowell, Mass, at o'clock. Here they
took the Fall River express on the Old
Colony railroad.
AT Taunton, an open switch caused a
collision with freight train standing on
a siding. At the time OF the collision
Father Sylvester was standing by the
door of the smoking car, lighting
cigar. The shock OF the collision forced
his head and shoulders clear through
the glass window of the door, inflicting
severe cut on the left side of the head,
near the eye, and badly bruising his left
arm. Messrs. Bickta and Fox were
sitting down at the time and were not
injured.
The party remained on the car until
the train reached Fall River, the boat
waiting for the train, although il was
three hours late. Father Sylvester i'm
mediately retired to his stateroom, but
suffered intense pain all night. On ar
irving at Jersey City, they Immediately
took fast express for Wilmington,
reaching here at 2 o'clock Friday after
noon.
Father Sylvester has since been con-
fined to his bed, but is recovering. DR..
NJ. J. Hughes is attending him. He has
also retained William Michael Byrne to
look after his legal interests in connec-
ton with the accident.

WAsnINGToN, Oct. 14.-The Senate
situation absorbed the attention of the
cabinet to-day. All the members were
present except Secretary Morton and
Postmaster-General Bissell, None of
the executive officers would express any
views as to the final outcome of the
struggle.
1t was said that as the matter is before
the Senate for action it would be i'm
proper for tho executive officers to cx-
press any opinion in regard to the course
Of a coordinate legislative branch of
the government. The President, when
he drove in from Woodley in the driz-
cling rain of the early morning, re-
celved his first news of the definite re-
suits of the Senate's continuous all
nights session, but information had
been previously received from Secre-
taries Carlisle and Lamont, who had
kept in close touch with Senators and
foreshadowed the probable outcome of
the test of endurance.
The policy recommended by the adj
ministration was set out in the Presi-
dents message at the convening of the
extra session. 1t is understood that no
change will be made in the attitude of
the executive on this matter. In re-
gard to the various plansof compromise
suggested, the President will not at

THE AIR BRAKES REFUSED TO WORK

Terrible Accident in tho Railroad Depot
at Jackson, Mich.--A Train Full of Peo-
pie Crashed Into by "A Second Train Run
ming at the Rate of 40 Miles an Hour--
Air Brakes Would Not Work and the
Engineer Was Powerless.
JACKSON, Mich, Oct. l3.-A terrible
wreck occurred this morning about o
o'clock, 100 yards east OF the passenger
depot in this city.
Hacks and undertakers' wagons are
rapidly taking away the dead and wounded.
An excursion train from tho east was
standing at the depot, when another ex-
cursion train pulled in. The engineer lost
control of his air brake and could not stop
his train, and it rushed at the rate of 40
miles an hour into the train ahead, plow-
ing under it and throwing the cars in all
directions.
Nine cars are in the ruins and the engine
is smashed.
The superintendent of the Michigan
Central here says that 10 dead bodies have
been recovered so far and the number of in
jured has not yet been reported.
The trains were Delaware, Lackawanna
u Western day coach excursion specials
The first section had stopped to let the
passengers take breakfast. 1t had been
standing ut the depot 20 minutes when the
second section came crashing into it.
sCluipnOIt WAS up I'LL flRnt,
but the engineer clailhs that his air brake
would not work aud he was powerless to
avert the accident.
The number of dead is now placed at Is,
and the wounded at about 60
The cars are terribly smashed, two of
them being thrown across the track. One
car was driven completely through another
and others We're turned entirely over
Hundreds Of people were aboard tho two
trains and they were wedged in in all kinds
of shapes. Some of the cars were badly
enough wrecked to kill all of the people on
board them, and it is miraculous, consider
ing the shape the cars were left in, that
any at all escaped without injury in some
OF the cars.
The following dead and injured have
been identified
Dead-Mrs. Lloyd Woodbury. of Bath.
n. y; James Woodbury., Bath, NY; Mrs.
Woodbury's father-in-law; Mrs. Beardslee,
Canton, Pa.
Injured-Mrs. SeaFle, Elmira, N. Y.
badly injured about head; Edward FAY,
Mrs. Q. W. Fay, Miss Laura Fay, all of
Elmira, n. Y, all badly injured.
Miss Blanche Beardslee, Canton, Pa, is
in precarious condition.
The dead and injured have all been re-.
moved and are now lying at the hotels and
norgnes.
SO far it is known that 81 persons were
injured, many of them, it is feared, fatally.

flags which it imported from Naples,
Italy, They were made by hand by
Teresa Legante and are beautiful pieces
of work. The former cost $ls5 and the
latter $2s5. The Italian flag was the
more costly because of the great guam
tity of gold, silver and silk used in the
pictorial work of the principality of
Naples, which ornaments it. The en-
blems were exhibited at an Italian ex-
hlbition and took prize awarded by
King Humbert.

When the United States Fire Com
pany was in Wilmington the past week
they noticed, early One morning, what
appeared to be fireman in full uni
form perched upon the top of bulk
window. Vita their feelings for a
brother in distress they at once set to
work in aiding him When the "boys"
returned home they carried this fireman
on stretcher through the streets in
their parade. Jacob Rosenbaum has
just received word in reference to the
fireman from merchant in Whining
ton. Jake replied as follows:
Friend Re1tb: was in deep surprise TO
receive a letter from you in regard to
dummy. l suppose that you are aware
that the United States Company, as well
as all the tiremen, aim to protect life and
property. Some of our boys being out late
at night and discovering brave fireman
in distress, followed the old maxim,
When You meet stranger take him in
and care for him." being in pitiful con-
6ition when found. He has now some
what recovered, and with our delightful
ozone at our health-giving seaside resort
Is expected soon to be able to send home
without an escort. You need not be an
easy as he is being properly nursed and
cared for, being i'll the hands of men who
know how to treat such serious cases.
Your friend, JACOB RosENBAuM.

Colorado's Unemployed iseing Unloaded
by Thousands Upon the Lone Star state

Colorado's Unemployed Heing UnIoaded
by Thousands Upon the Lone Star state
AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 16.-Colorado is
unloading her thousands of unemployed
workmen on Texas. They are coming
in daily in squads Of tifties and hun
dreds. San Antonio Is their first stop
ping place and that city is at loss what
TO do with them.
Saturday night the mayor furnished
transportation to 26 of the travellers and
sent them to this city with letters to
Governor Hogg, stating that as he had
exhibited such keen interest of late in
the tramps' welfare, he could give
succor to the unfortunates. They will
be given work on the Great Austin dam,
but this city does not want any more OF
them.
1t is feared that this State will shortly
be overrun with thousands of unem-
ployed men, as all indications point that
way. As soon as gang Of tramps
reach one town, the citizens make up
purse and ship them off to the next
station. This gives the tramps chance
for a free ride through the State and as
they are fed at eating stations, they may
be said to be living in clover.

Her Life Was Finally Saved, But Her
Sister Fell Victim to the Ignorant Act.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 16.-Miss Jennie
Mullen of Lisben Centre, New York,
was found dead in bed, yesterday
morning, at Mrs. G. d. Coons' boarding
house, No. 116 Thirty-third street. Her
sister, Mrs. +. A. Moore, lay at her side
unconscious.
When the sisters retired, Saturday
night, Mrs, Moore blew. out the gas.
The odor of the escaping fluid was
detected at o'clock yesterday morning
by the landlady. The door was broken
in. Miss Mullen had succumbed to the
deadly fumes several hours before the
discovery, but Mrs. Moore was still
breathing.
Two physicians were called and they
worked over the unconscious woman
for eight hours. AT o'clock last even
ing consciousness returned and she told
of having blown out the gas when she
retired, being ignorant of the danger.
The dead girl was 20 years old. Her
uncle, James Mullen of Ogdensburg, N.
Y, has an exhibit of carriages ia the
Transportation Building at the Fair,
Mrs. Moore's husband is merchant at
Lisben Centre.

Campbell, of 1887 seybert street, Phila-
delphia. The body was photographed
by A, L. Barry of Port Deposit, Md.
The case is mysterious and puzzling.
The victim was an entire stranger and
his murderer or murderers have van
ished without leaving the slightest clue.
The removal of the clothing, every par
ticle of it, is the strangest feature of the
case, and would indicate robbery as the
motive as well as the purpose to prevent
identification. The place where the
body was found is such one as would
be selected as resting place by tramps,
but there is nothing about the corpse to
indicate that he was tramp. In all
probability the mystery will never be
unravelled.
The remains were inferred Saturday
afternoon in the Methodist burying
ground, on East High street, Elkton.
Service was held by the Rev. Robert
Day Cantwell of Elkton.

NEW sUNDAr-sCHoOL CHAPEL.
A Baptist Mission Opened Sunday After
noon, In South Wilmington.


noon, In South Wilmington.
The new Baptist Sunday-school
Chapel in South Wilmington was
opened Sunday afternoon. Good con-
gregations were in attendance both in
the morning and afternoon. About half
a dozen speakers addressed each meet
ing. Among them DR.. Waddell, pastor
of Madeley NJ. L. Church, gave an excel
lent address. The collections, in view of
the times, were much beyond expecta-
tons, and reached to within about $50
of present needs. Among the offerings
there was a liberal one, as usual, by a
generous deacon of the Second Church.
But there should especially be noticed a
donation of $25 by each of two young
men, one of whom has just passed his
majority; the other has not yet reached it.
The building is plain frame, % by
30 feet, with primary class rooms 16 by
20 feet A more imposing front viii, be
added in future. II. T. Alexander is
superintendent of this school as well as
of the one at Fourth and French streets.
There are now eight Baptist missions
in this city, each American Baptist
church having one or more in charge.
Seven Of these have come into existence
within the past 10 years, Within that
time two church editices, two church
chapels and three mission chapels have
been built. Most of the missions are in
the city suburbs, and the denomination
is endeavoring to do its part in helping
the less favored sections of the city. A
Mission Workers Conference has been
suggested by c. l.. Simmons, superin-
tendent of the McDowellville Mission.
This will be called, and doubtless organ
lied soon,
