ONE fASSEN6EK HURT.
Two Trains Collide at stspney on tho Berk-
 shire Division.

TWO Trains Collide at stspney on the Berk-
 shire Division.
 Bridgeport, Conn.,, Aug. a--A collision occurred on the Berkshire division of the N. Y., N. H. & H. railroad at Step ney. near the depot, this morning be- tween two passenger trains. The en- zines of both trains were badly dis abled. The 7:O5 up train from this city arrived at the station at stepney just about the time the down train reaching this city at 7:5O arrives at the same place. The latter takes a siding and remains until the up train goes by on the main track. Both trains arrived at about the same time this morning.
 The brakes on the down train failed to work and the two engines, although going slowly. came together with con- siderable force. There was a crash and all the passengers on both trains were forcibly thrown from their seats.
 The headlights and the cowcatchers were smashed and the heads of the boilers were torn out to such an extent that one can see through the boiler, Both engines were entirely disabled and two others were dispatched from this city to take their places. t.r, r.,
 In several of the cars glass was broken by the force of the collision, but luckily only one person was Injured, Marcus c. Hawley of Newtown, and he was cut about the hand with broken glass. A..t, .t ..
 The down train came along at low rate of speed; adn owing to the slippery rails and the failure of the air brakes to work the engineer was unable to stop the train. He whistled for hand brakes
 The engineer of the up train realized the situation too late to turn back and jumped out of the cab. The engineer of the down train stuck to his post. Neither engine was derailed, although the pilots were bent. Ss tE ,tH

Tue ssilins Movement of sugar Was Con.
 spseuous Feature,

sPsVohs FsaNtrs
 New York. Aug. a.-The selling move. ment In American Sugar, which was such a conspicuous feature of yester- days closing at the Stock Exchan ange vas not continued at the opening this morning. In fact there was decided turn for the better in this speciality. and the stock opened at ioaGios against io2M last night. l.5oo shares being talk en at the advance. After rising to io4A there was recession to iosA. but In the closing ours of business the stock sud denly jumped to io6h The better tone In this stock, as we'll as the improve. ment in the general list, was due to Washington rumors that settlement of the tarlft question was close at. hand Sugar, it wns alleged, will be taken care of on the lines of the schedule agreed upon by the senate. In addition to this somewhat vague talk about the tarift agreement there was n decidedly fall ing of in the export movement of gold.
 Early In the week there was consid- erable talk about heavy shipments by Saturdays steamers. and the rumors had more or less effect on stock prices It turns out. however that the total en- sayements for to-morrow's steamers will fall, below S2,p0o. .0U0, making the total for the week g. .065. .00o, whereas. .ac- cordlng to common report. Saturdays vessels should have carried out at least $3,000.000 or N.000,0oO alone. The re- duction In the exports Is due to the in- ability of bankers to selll bills. as we'll as to the easier condition of money abroad. The margin of profit is so small that the reduction in discounts abroad almost wipes out exporters profits.
 The rise in the railway list Is equal to h to 1h per cent. Chicago Gas, St. Paul, Rock Island. Burlington and Quincy, Louisville and Nashville, Mis- souri Pacific and Western Union being most conspicuous in the rise. The mar ket closed firm. and k to 2N per cent. higher on the day, American Sugar leading. New York Central lost # and Pullman Palace Car z. In the inactive issues Consolidated Gas rose to 1191s.
 Railway bonds were stronger. Sales amounted to s836.00O.

From evidence that it seems difficult
TO dispute, it appears that in the Celes-
tial empire old, incurably diseased and
hopelessly depraved persons are fre-
quently burned alive in order to rid
the community of the burden and re-
sponsibility OF their care-taking. This
arrangement Is the result OF mutual
understanding, the victims assenting
to and sometimes assisting In the pre-
liminary ceremonies. The usage seems
to have been recognized by the high
est authorities, and the burials have
certainly been conducted with the
sanction of the ruling powers. Great
preparations are made and there ts
much ado, and sometimes show Of
grief, but great deal Of the latter Ia
evidently rerfunctory, as there Ii an
all-around feeling of satisfaction on
the part of the spectators and more Or
less complncency on the mind OF the
victim, who is comforted by the as
surance that he Is fulfilling tradition
and will earn the respect Of his an
cestors and gone-befores. This custom
is scarcely more strange and barbarous
than tho Japanese practice Of COM
pelling a man for certain crimes or
calamities to commit suicide. II would,
at least, have its compensations In
that the criminal could be made to
take himself off and thus leave no pn-
pleasant reflections upon the mind OF
hangman or executioner.
