The Jerusalem of To-Day.

Charles A. Dana, in McClure's Magazine.
The present population OF Jerusalem is
not far from forty thousand, and more
than half are Jews. They live in a sepa-
rate quarter of their own, as do also the
various divisions of Christians, as the
Armenians. the Greeks, and the Profess
tants. All these quarters are densely built,
with narrow and irregular lanes for streets,
but the prevailing prosperity does not seem
TO reach the abodes of the Hebrews. The
indications are all of extreme poverty. A
synagogue was pointed out bearing an in
scription showing that it was the gift Of
a Paris Rothschild; but it's mean appear
ance and unattractive surroundings bore
no suggestion of critical refinement in the
congregation. The articles of food set out
for sale in the petty little shops were often
Squalid and repulsive. We came so often
upon spoiled salt fish among the stores ex-
posed by the vendors, hat we concluded
it must form a regular element of diet in
the quarter. There was no visible sign OF
industry by which the people might earn
their living; and no one need be surprised
to learn that in various parts of the world
the well-to-do and charitable Jews are
regularly called upon to contribute to the
support of their pauper brethren in Joru-
salem.

MIR. Voorhees, Charge.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. General Man
ager Voorhees,, of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
read Company, made the following state
ment tonight in, reference to the White
haven wreck:
1.-The accident at whitehaven this morn
ing was caused by strikers pulling pins on
freight trains which stopped in front of
the station. The engineer made several at
tempts to start the train, n each time he
found it broken in fresh places There
that before the train got away the
train following 1t ran into 1t and
caused the collision. Ever since the strike
began those of the strikers who live at
ner of malicious mischief. 1t is idle for
any person TO say that this accident and
trains have not been caused by strikers,
for the reason that in every case where
crowds have congregated. or where ar
rests have been made for assaults, ETC., a
large proportion of those have been
strikers"
Chairman E. f. Clark. when asked, to-
night what he knew Of the White Haven
wreck and it's causes said: THAI wreck
and the other unfortunate and deplorable
ones that have recently occurred on the
Lehigh Valley road are simply the result of
either carelessness. negligence or incompe-
tency of its employees. 1t is simple impoS-
sibility for a train 70 run into the rear OF
tagged"
Mr.. voorhees, states that the White Ha-
ven accident was caused by strikers un-
coupling the cars. What grounds are there
for this statement
'If Mr.. VOORHEES, made such an accusa-
ton he has done so without reason. In
fact, he has no right to make such a
sweeping statement unless he has actual
proof and can produce il. In which case
he has recourse TO the law and should not
hesitate to bring proper action. If he has
no such proof / repeat that he casts a
vile inSinuation upon a large number of
men, who nave no recourse against him,
therefore he wrongs the men by making 1t.

OF duties on their raw material would rem

tition we already feel in certain markets
