ONLY ONE DEATH.


Brooklyn, y. Y. Sept S.-Of the number
or persons seriously injured yesterday in
the collision on the Sea Beach railway at
Woodlawn Park. only one was report ed
dead this morning, William *. Pointer of
Newark, n. j. From the other hospitals,
doctors this forenoon reported that all
seemed to have a fair chance for recov-
cry. The fact that only one person has
died is the most remarkable feature of
the accident The wildcat engine that
dashed into the rear of the excursion
train hit it so hard that it poughod half
way through the rear coach, telescoped
the four last cars and threw seven cars
off the track and set fire to them. Circum-
stances fortunately combined to prevent a
larger number of those who were packed
in the rear cars from being killed outright.
The train had almost come to a stand
still at the Woodlawn station, so that
passengers could easily and safely jump
for their lives. Engineers Jensen and
Hunnell, Fireman Ross and Conductor
Hilger, who were arrested last night after
the collision, were arraigued in the police
court this forenoon and held to await the
result of the injuries of the victims.

HOLMES ACCUSES HATCH.
Says He Killed Howard Pietzel-The MUIR
dcrer Still Protests Innocence.

Philadelphia, Aug. 30-Lawyer w. A.
Shoemaker had another long conference
In Moyamensing prison with his client II.
H. Holmes, during which the prisoner
protested his innocence of completely in
the killing of Howard Pietzel, whose bones
are said to have been found in a dwelling
near indianapolis.
Holmes said that he was almost certain
that the fragments of human bones un-
earthed by the detectives were those of the
missing lad, but declared that the boy was
murdered by the mysterious Hatch He
further positively asserted that Hatch
killed both of the other Pictzel children.
When Detective Geycr returned from the
West he called upon Holmes and was fur
nished with a clue that led him to Indian
apolis. Holmes appeared to be willing and
anxious to aid the the detective in locating
Howard Pietzel
Mr.. Shoemaker says that his client can
prove beyond a shadow of doubt that he
could not positively have killed young
Howard. He admits that lie was In In
dianapolis with the boy, and that Howard,
was turned over to the care of Hatch, but
that he was not in Indianapolis at the time
the crime is said to have been committed
Holmes said that he had met Hatch in
Chicago, and that he was was given ia
believe that Howard and Miss Williams
had gone to Buffalo.
No steps have been taken by the district
attorney in reference to the new develop
ments, and perhaps nothing will be done
until Detective Geyer returns

ORIGIN OF hoKEY PoKEY.

Lsft-Ovsr lee Cream Bought Mt tho Ho-
tcls and Frozen Again
u n an actual fact that old ice cream
is bought up by Italians and venders
from restaurants and ice cream stands,
froscn q second and third time, and
again offered for sale, to be consumed
by the nowsboys and general public
under tho alluring title of holtey posey,
says tho New York Herald. Almost
every night these venders make the
rounds of all the hotels, and buy up
whatever has been left over from the
day previous This cream has all
been melted more or less TO its original
consistency, and II 1t is still frozen
when they get 1t there is but little left
but fluid by the time it has reached
Brooklyn and the Italian quarter.
This melting process is the cause of
all the danger. Cream once having
been frozen and again melted very
readily turns sour. In this stage it is
poisonous. The vender of hokey pokcy
cares little whether or not the cream is
sour. Quickly upon his return to his
quarters he freezes all this mush, and
packs 1t away for the next days use.
The few cases Of poisoning that have
come 70 the public notice are In all
probability not the only ones that have
occurred, Tor physicians say that many
cases of poisoning have occurred in the
districts where the hokcy pokcy vcnd-
srs are that could not be accounted for,
because Of the suddenness oS death.
II has generally been understood that
certain establishments are putting out
largo quantities of hokey polSey and
supplying the vcnders, but this is not
