Excellent Prospects of the Naval Ap-

WASHINGTON,a Feb. 5, 1S95.-The Naval
Appropriation bill will probably come up
in the House on Friday of this week
The friends of the measure feel that its
chances of success have been greatly
increased by the favorable showing of
tine Treasury receipts made by Secretary
Carlisle. The part of the bill against
which the opposition will mass their
forces it the provision which provides
for the construction of the battIeships,
the torpedo boats and an increase in the
force of enlisted men,
When the bill was in process of in
cubation the argument against inserting
the foregoing provision was that the
Treasury contained no funds no pay for
the increases of ships and men, Some
Of those who opposed the bill on that
ground stated that if the condition of

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Children Picking Coal Are Run
Down by a Locomotive,

A shocking accident occurred at seven
O'Clock this morning at the ash pits of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, at Warren
street and Railroad avenue. A sixteen
year-old boy, who was picking cinders,
was instantly killed, and a twelve-year-
old girl, similarly engaged, was so ter
ribly mangled that her death is mat
ter of only few hours
There were a dozen or more italian
and Polish children picking coal at the
pits, as is their custom every morning,
when Engine No of the New York,
susquehanna & Western Railroad backed
out from the train shed to the pits,
where the fires are raked out by the fire.
men. The engine had attained consider
able speed when the engineer saw the
children He blew his whistle sharply,
but too late.
MANGLED BY THE WHEELS.
The girl, who says she is Eva Conu-
give the children an alarm the boy and
girl were under the wheels. The boy,
whose name is unknown, had his neck
broken, and his head was terribly man
gled His face was unrecognizable, and
his body was almost cut in two.
The girl, who says she is Eva Conn
ski, of No. 278 Warren street, showed
signs of life when taken from underneath
the engine. Both arms and her left leg
were almost severed from her body. She
|, had also sustained internal injuries.
She was removed in all haste to ST.
Francis Hospital The boys BODY was
sent to Speer's morgue.
CHILDREN WILL GO THERE.
Accidents have occurred frequently at
the pit, but the efforts of yardmen to
keep the children away have been of no
avail. They go there by the dozen as
early as six o'clock in the morning, and
say that their little brothers and sisters
at home are freezing. Many of the yard
men haven't had the heart to erive the
little urchins away.
This mornings sad accident, however,
will put an end to coal picking there. As
soon as the circumstances were reported
at the Superintendent's office an order
was issued to allow, no zone to go near
the pit in future.
