Oyer and Terminer this morning, on
charges of bribery in seven different
cases. Lawyer jerks, his counsel,

Police Detective Sergeant William

TOXIC, JAPAN, Nov. 2O.-It is learned
that the Japanese Government has
sent its reply to the note of United
States Minister Dun, asking whether q
tender by the President of the United
States of his good Offices in the interest
of restoring peace In the East would be
agreeable 10 Japan. Before reaching
q conclusion the Ministry gave the
matter consideration for several days,
and finally stated to Mr.. Dun that,
although the friendly sentiments which
prompted the government and people
of the United States were deeply 8ppre-
ciated, the success Of the Japanese
arms had been such that China should
approach Japan directly on hesubject.
In view of the absence of Japanese and
Chinese diplomatic representatives at
Pekin and Toxic respectively, this
would imply that any communication
between the two governments would
be made through the American minis.
ters to China and Japan, who, since
the outbreak of the war, have had in
charge the interests of the two coun-
tries.

KILLED AT A RAILWAY CROSS.
ING
Two Men and a Woman the Victims of a
Reading Engine.

~ NeaQluS EuS4uS'
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20.-A south
bound accommodation train on TIE
Chestnut Hill branch of the PhIladel
phla and Reading railroad ran into a
two horse carriage containing John
Horace Meacham, age d seventy years,
his wife and Mrs. Harriet Smyth, this
morning at the East Washington
Lane crossing, in Germantown. Mr.
Meacham was killed, as was also Pat
rick Lacey, aged fifty, seven years,
the Waterman at the crossing, who
seized the horses heads and endeav-
ored to back them from the track.
Mrs. Meacham received a fractured
skull and died shortly afterward in
the Germantown Hos ital.
Mrs. Smyth was slightly injured.
Both horses were killed outright, and
the vehicle was smashed to pieces. It
is supposed that Mr.. Meacham, who
was driving the team, did not hear
the approaching train and was not
aware of the danger until he had
driven upon the track. Engineer
Morris Lacey states that he did not
see the team until within two car
lengths of the crossing. He then saw
the horses on the track, with the
watchman, Patrick Lacey, at their
heads and endeavoring to back them.
The engineer blew the whistle and re
versed the locomotive, but the collision
could not be averted, and the watch
man and the team struck and
hurled some distance away.
Mr.. Meacham was a retired business
man, and lived in the vicinity. The
watchman had been in the employ of
the company about twenty years, and
he was killed within a few feet of his
home.

Five Hundred Mills in the Swindling Deal.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-The initial steps
looking toward the curtailment of tho
-four output by six weeks suspension
of the merchant mills of the country
were taken at a meeting of millers at
the Auditorium yesterday. The meet
ing consisted of twelve men, who were
chosen by vote and in whose selection
500 millers representing a daily output
OF $50, 900 barrels, were invited to take
part. The committee was unanimous
in agreeing that the price of flour was
below a profit. and that some aetion by
the trade was necessary to bring up
the price to a profit point. An arbit-
rary increase of the price was given
little consideration, as the customs
mills scattered all over the country
could not be brought into line. The
reduction of stocks was regarded as
the best method of tending an increase
in the price. An agreement was then
formed to shut down mills for a period
of SIX weeks. beginning December 10th.
The agreement will be in force when
mills representing a production of 15O,
900 barrels a day have signed the same.
