nEAD.END COLLISION.
Two Trains Meet in PhilaG eiphia, Killing
Two and Ipiuring Several.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21.-The local
north bound train on the Reading rail-
way, which left the station in this city at
6:15 this morning and reached the subpr-
ban towE of Frankfort at 6:44, started
from the frankfort station without wait
ing, as is customary, for the down train.
which arrives at 6:44, and the result was
a head end collision at Sellers street, two
blocks north of the Frankfort station.
Two persons were killed and several
injured. three of them fatally.
Kiiled-Daniel Hart, aged 70 years, of
frankfort. George Anderson, aged 16
years. of Frankford.
Injured-Edward Stott, aged 90, Frank
ford, both legs crushed, will probably die
Samuel Sievers, frankfort, both legs and
one arm crushed, will probably die.
George Lee. frankfort, both legs and
one arm crushed, will die. Charles
Guard, % years, Philadelphia, baggage
master, injured about legs and shoulders.
Herbert E. Fray, frankfort, one leg
crushed, badly bruised. VIM. Mosley
l6 years, Frankfort, both legs badly hurt
Irwin Udall, 40 years. frankfort, both
legs and one arm broken.
Several others were seriously hurt.
All the killed and injured. with few
exceptions, were in the combination Car
on the outbound train. The orders as
usual thing are for the outward bound
train to wait at Frankfort for the train
due at the same time from the north.
The conductor of the north bound
train, it is said, ordered the engineer to
go ahead. The train had barely left the
depot when the engineer sent his fireman
back to ask the conductor, Lew S. Jar
ret, if orders had been received to go
ahead, as he, the engineer had heard of
none. As soon as the fireman spoke to
the conductor the latter jumped up and
pulled the rope for the train to back.
But before the engineer had time to re-
verse the down train crashed into it. The
force Of the collision was so great that
the bumpers of both engines were
smashed TO splinters. The tender of the
north bound train was driven clear
through the baggage compartment of
the com bination car into the smoking
compartment. which was crowded with
passengers and this is where the
slaughter took place.

AHLWARDT CHALLENGED,
stove Brodie Wants to Have q De bate
With tho Jew Batter.

With tho Jew Batter.
New YORK, Dec. 21.-Steve Brodie
has challenged Herr Ahlwardt to joint
discussion Of the HE Problem"
In letter to the Evening Telegram
Brodie says:
sHaving read the published statements
of Herr Ahlwardt, the Jew batter, l
challenge him to meet me on any plat
form in the city of New York, each man
to debate 20 minutes. The gentleman
who thinks it his mission on earth to run
down the Jews to speak first, and will
reply to his argument, and If do not
show him where the Jews are benefit
to this country and where his philosophy
is all wrong, 1 will forfeit $500 to any
charitable institution he may name, the
debate to be decided by committee of
three, one Jew, one Christian and one
Ingersollian.
IF Mr.. Ahlwardt refuses to debate
with me and he thinks he can do some
good for the Gentiles in this city, let
him fill his pockets with dollars or dia-
monds and / will do the same, and in
one night will show him how he can
do more good than if he was to speak on
the platform of New York for 80 years."

DOES THE LAKE WANT IT?
Proposal that the Medical College Be

Proposal that the Medical College Be
Moved There.
The Silver Lake correspondent of the
Topeka Mail says:
"a movement is on foot to induce the
Kansas Medical college to pull out of
Topeka and locate in our city. Those
favoring it have made but a slight can
vass and have already one thousand dol
lars subscribed towards a fund to be used
in effecting the change of location"
Silver Lake is the home of Janitor S.
A. johnson of the medical college, the
first man placed under arrest for being
implicated in the recent grave robberies
1t is altogether likely that the people in
terestei in the cemeteries north of the
river add in the Silver Lake neighbor-
hood would regard the medical college
as menace to the community and
would prevent the location of the college
there if possible.

Missouri University Law Students Still

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Dec. 21.-It seems as

university is really going to have Col.
Robert G. Ingersoll address their com

son has called meeting of the commit
tee on public arrangement, which ar
ranges the commencement programme,

During the past week the lawyers
have been working quietly. Letters
have been written and interviews have
been had, and all at onca the leaders
have grown confident. The senior class
has secured an endorsement from the
junior class, and now the demand for an
address from Ingersoll is from the de-
partment instead of from class.

SINCE NUGENT'S DEATH.
Texas Populists Arc Now Looking for a

Texas Popu1ists Arc Now Looking for a
Leader to Take His Place.
AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 21.-The death of
Judge Thomas L. Nugent, who was
twice nominated by the Populist party
in this state for governor and promi-
nently mentioned for the leadership of
the national organization, at Fort Worth
last Saturday morning, takes from the
party organization of Texas its strongest
member and recognized leader.
The loss to the Populists of Texas in
the death of Judge Nugent is irrepar
able. There is no man in the ranks of
that party in this state who can fill his
place. The question, however, now, and
the one which Populists are free to dis
cuss is who will be the standard bearer
in the next gubernatorial campaign.
Major Jerome c. Kearby of Dallas. an
eminent lawyer aud forcible speaker,
who made close race against Judge
Abbott for congress, has been mentioned.
But in an interview he declares that the
exalted position of chief executive is not
as congenIal to him as national repre-
sentative,

A good deal has been written about
the American girl, the English girl and
the girls of other countries; but the
Australian girl, up to the present, has
not come in for much attention. Per
haps it is, says London Sketch, that.
coming from English stock, she has al
ways been regarded as too essentially
British to be ASSOCIATED from the
daughters of. John Bull. Yet she is a
distinct species, as different from the
average English girl as the American
girl. In personal charms she possesses
all the attractiveness, but, owing large
ly to the prevalence of sweltering suns
and parching hot winds for eight
months out of the twelve, her face has
not that freshness, that pink, rosebud
coloring which are at once the Joy and
sovereign possession of the English
girl.
But it is in the exquisite contour of
her figure, in the smallness of her hands
and feet and in the perfect molding of
her features that the daughter of the
sunny south is able to hold her own. If
her face lacks the freshness of the
green fields and pastures of England
there is in it the warm sun of Australia,
which gives to the countenance look
of perpetual pleasure. The small but
clearly ehiseled features of the Austria
liam girl are always pleasant in express
sion, indicating a ight-hearted, care.
less, irresponsible character under
meath.
The innate shyness of the English
girl has no place in her temperament,
nor does she pay much regard to the
culture, the self-contained dignity, the
gracefulness which sit so easily on the
girls of the west The unrestrained
spirit of an Independent democracy
seems to be ingrained in her. She is
essentially sociable; indeed, the life of
the average Australian girl seems to
be made up of a round of social func-
tions-balls, "at homes" parties. She
clevates gossip to a fine art, and in the
little world in which she resides she will
be possessed of an encyclopedia knowl-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. - William
Mckinley has a brand new shake this
year. He had what he thought was a
glorious one in 1892, but subsequent
events showed him his error. He has
discarded the 1892 hand and also his Ma
poleonic mien. When Mr. Mckinley
greets man who may be of service to
him he takes a step forward. and, lifting
his hat with his left hand, swings out
the right with a semi circle, aud, fitting
his head out at a confidential angle,
silently presses the hand of the visitor"
This is known as the confidential
clasp" 1t makes the visitor believe that
he is one of the few real friends McKin-
lev has on earth.

PITTsBURe, Dec e1.-The employees of
the Central Traction company were
agreeabIy surprised on opening their pay
envelopes to find that the company, by
way of Christmas gift, had restored the
wage rate of 1898.
A nmittee of the employees waited
upon the management about week ago
and requested the restoration of the rates
paid in 1893 No answer was given the
men, and as the employees of the Fifth
avenue and other lines had vainly sought
to secure their old wages the Central

edge of everybody figuring in social
circles. She achieves distinction in
volubility. "She can talk, but she has
no conversation" as Mrs. Allonby re-
marked. To her, art, literature, drama
and politics are unexplored regions.
Dress is the dominant note of her char
acter. And in this, as in almost every
thing else, she is an imitator.
There is little original about the Aus
tralian girl. England is her fetch, and
particularly the English fashion jour
nails. She will wear cumbersome and
trailing skirts under pitiless sun, and
with the thermometer over 100 degrees,
if they have been worn in England. And
il her affections she dearly loves an
Englishman. She doesn't stop to in
Quire about his character; if he comes
from the old land he has theS1ey of her
heart. But, above ali these super
fatalities, which are unavoidable in u
new country, rough and uncultured,
there is much that is good and useful
and practical about the Australian girl
In her domestic qualifications she is I'M
approachable. Woodworking, indus
trious, economical, capable with her

ideal wife.
AS the artistic and refining influences
of the old world become more and more
ingrained in the people of the vast
southern continent, the Australian girl,
by her grace and winsomeness, will be-
come a keen competitor with her Aneri-
can cousin for recognition in the social
spheres of London and Paris.
