NiggardIy Gifts From Titled Ameri-
cans to Adele Grant.

cans to Adele Grant.
The presents to the new countess of
Essex, who until yesterday was Miss
Adele Grant, on the occasion of her
wedding are curiously instructive
Among the noble relatives and friends
of the earl of Essex who contributed
gifts notice that the countess Cairns
sent a silver photograph frame; the
duchess of Manchester. an American
woman, an eagle feather fan; Lady
Randolph Churchill, who was Leonard
Jerome's daughter, a jeweled match
box; and the duchess of Marlborough
who used to be Miss Lily Post of Troy,
a diamond and tortoise shell hairpin.
American women certainly have the
quality Of assimilation strongly devel-
oped, and it's very, very funny to see
how quick those American-born ladies
of the English aristocracy have fallen
into the habit of wasting as little money
as possible on wedding gifts. 1t may be
interesting to point out that the gifts
from the unpretending and untitled
American friends of the countess of
Essex exceed ip almost every case in
value the sum total of those contribu-
ted by her expatriated countrywomeD

sion of the senate did not develop that
interest members had anticipated. The
consideration of the federal election bill
was not begun according to the pro.
gramme of Senator Gray, as no one
seemed prepared to speak, and after some
colloquy between Senators Chandler,
Gray and German over the method Of
procedure, the measure finally went over
until next week. At that time, however,
it comes up as unfinished business, and
Senator Gray gave notice that he would
press its consideration reasonably and
continuously until a vote was reached.

during the recent anarchist raids which
followed the explosion of Vailants bomb

ments are said to compromise a number
of Russians residing at St. Petersburg

suit of these communications the Rus
sian police are said to have made a

rested a number of nihilists 1t is also
said that many Russians of all classes

Hoboken, N. J., Jan. 16.-About two
niles from Hoboken end few hundred
feet from the draw bridge across the
Hackensack river the Orange accom-
mediation crashed into the rear of the
Dover express ON the Morris & Essex
brarch of the Delaware, Lackawanna Il
Western railroad. The scene of the ac-
cidcDt was on the long meadows through
which flows the Hackensack river. At
least IL lives paid the penalty of some
ones carelessness and the list of known
injured is thirty-sey en-, some of whom
will probably die. So far as learned,
one cause of the accident was the heavy
fog which prevailed. Both trains were
well filled with passengers on their way
to their daily avocations, and it seems a
miracle that the death list was not in
creased many fold. The Dover express
had slowed up to make sure that the
draw bridge was all right. The Orange
accommodation engineer, who should
have done likewise, failed to take this
precaution and crashed into the rear of
this train. The last car ON the express
was a combination baggage and smoker,
and into this plunged the huge engine,
cutting through the wood work and send
ing splinters in all directions with q
force that showed the tremendous speed
at which the train was travelling. The
coach ahead of the smoker was telescop.d
~ it, the roof torn out and the seats
torn and twisted as though they were
made of paper. The roof was thrown
ahead and partially telescoped the third.
For moment the passel gers did not
realize the awful situation, but in the
next the shrieks of the wounded and
dying and the noise of escaping steam
told them that an awful calamity had
occurred. Those who We're not Injured
