ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 13-Anothcr re-
port regarding the matrimonial pros
poets of the czarowitz is in circulation
here. 1t is now stated that the heir
apparent to the throne of Russia will
accompany the czar from Lividia to
Corfu, and from that island the czaro-
WITT will proceed to Darmstadt. from
which place he will return to Russia
with his fancee, Princess Alix of
Hesse, and the grand duke and
grand duchess Sergius. of Russia, her
brother-in-law and sister. 1t is added
that the wedding will probably take
place at the beginning of November,
the supposition being that the cere-
mony is being hastened on account Of
the pressure brought to bear upon the
czarowitz by his father, who is desir-
GUS, in view of his approaching death,
of having the marriage take place as
soon as possible, as in the event of his
demise the union of the czarowitz
would be postponed for a year at least.
1t is officially announced here that
dispatches have been received from
Lividia saying that the czar Thursday
visited Massavanda, and stayed there
an hour and half. He returned to
Lividia through Yalta. The weather

New YORK, Oct. 13.--One of the most

steam railroading occurred at Glen
Ridge, N. j., station on the Bloom
field branch of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad, Friday
afternoon.
1t is rare thing for locomotive

only did the boiler of a passenger train
engine burst, but it did it in such a
way that the great locomotive, weigh
ing $1,000 pounds, was tossed into the
air clear of the ground and turned over
end on end.
The engineer and fireman were both
severely injured, and the latter died
about midnight. The boiler burst i'm.
mediately on the engineer pulling the
throttle lever to pull out of the
station. Traffic was delayed several
hours.

RAILWAY COLLISION.
One Excursion Train Runs Into
Another at the Crossing.
The Breaking of . Coupling Saves the APP
parently Doomed ExcurslonIsts-As 1t
Was Fifteen People Were Injured
$4,000 Worth of Property Lost.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 13.--Nothing but
a miracle prevented one of the most
horrible railroad wrecks in the history
Of Louisiana Sunday. As it is, about
15 people were more or less injured and
$40, 900 worth Of railroad property was
destroyed. The wreck was at the juno
tion of the Louisville and Nashville
and New Orleans and Northeastern
tracks, about two miles from the city,
and occurred just before $50 o'clock
Sunday. The colliding trains were the
Louisville and Nashville excursion and
the East Louisiana Covington excursion
train. Both trains were completely
filled with pleasure seekers, bound for
the lake coast resorts or the pine lands
of Saint Tammany parish.
The engineer of the Louisville &
Nashville train claims he stopped be-
fore reaching the crossing, and is SUBJ
stantiated by the passengers on his
train, and that he blew the warning
whistle that he was going ahead and
received no response. He started ahead,
and then saw the East Louisiana train
bearing down on him at good rate
of speed. Having started, it was too
late to think of stopping and revers-
ing, so he opened the throttle and
tried to get over the crossing before
the other train reached him. He
failed in his effort, and the consequence
was that when the other train struck
his coupling parted, and the engine,
with seven coaches, was not stopped
for over a hundred yards. There is no
doubt but that this prevented great
disaster, for it broke the force of the
shock from the East Louisiana train,
diverting it's impetus and preventing
the engine from crashing head on into
the coach, filed with mass of hui
manity totally oblivious of the fact
that grim death stared them in the
face.
The East Louisiana engineer claims
that the air brakes refused to work,
and that when he found it was impos-
sible to avoid collision he and his
fireman jumped, the latter being the
first to leap from the cab. The latter
claims that the customary whistle was
blown, but a good many persons dis
pute that fact. 1t is fact that the
East Louisiana train did not stop be-
fore reaching the crossing, but wheth-
er it was from negligence or the fail.
ure of the air brakes is a question to be
solved later. The engineer of the
Louisville & Nashville claims he did
not hear the whistle, but others say
that they heard it when it was alto
gether too late to do anything to avert
the horrible disaster.
