ty-eight We're 50 far recovered two days
later as to be able to go to their homes.
OF the fifteen persons remaining in the
hospital several are suffering from terri
BILE injuries, the nature Of which makes
their recovery doubtful. There are still
people who contend that the Reading
train was racing with a train on the par
allel track Of the Camden and Atlantic,
and that the Reading train was going at
such a terrific rate Of speed that it could
not be stopped when the danger signal
was suddenly shown. The story that the
Reading train was racing when the acct
lent occurred continues to be repeated,
but it cannot be substantiated. II W
trains were racing the engineers were vio-
lating one Of the strictest rules of their
roads. and were liable to instant dismis-
sal, if discovered. On the other hand. a
man whose name is withheld. and who
witnessed the accident, says the trains
were not racing.
No verification of the racing between
the two trains can be obtained from the
railroad people, as they either refuse to
talk or fatty deny that the engineers
could have been racing. Nevertheless,
people who daily use the two roads, assert
that races occur frequently on the level
stretches, where the tracks are parallel,
and bets among the passengers would be
made over the result. Two of the wound
ed at the sanitarium are in a very serious
state. These are Mrs. Fralinger, Of
Bridgeton, VIII .eg was ampurated, and
the unknown woman with the fractured
skull. The latter recovered CONSCIOUSNESS
Saturday morning, but could only talk
incoherently, giving no explanation OF
herself. 1t is probable her skull will be
trephined in the effort 10 save her life.
TIE terrible event has east a gloom over
the city and soberel the gay throngs OF
summer pleasure seekers. Besides the
death and suffering entailed by the COL
lisiOn, it is likely to seriously affect the
business of the city for the rest Of the
summer. The fear is expressed among
hotel men that the accident will make
people timid about travelling on the light
ming expresses, and as this has been a
poor season SO far, the outlook is viewed
with anything but cheerful minds by bus
mess people.
A little incident that is not without
pathos is connected with the sufferers in
the sanitarium. Directly across the
street from the nOSpltal IS the IroCeStaHt
Episcopal Church of the Ascension. Ev-
cry Sunday morning the chimes in the
belfry are rung. Saturday Rev. j. Fl.
Townsend, rector Of the church, came to
the hospital and inquired if the ringing Of
the chimes would affect the patients.
Each of the wounded was asked il he
would rather that the church chimes
would not ring, and each replied in the
negative. Strangely enough, several ask.

Remedy for the Theater Hat.

''There is a legal remedy for the nui-
sance of big hats in ~theaters." said 4
Broad street lawyer as he came from 4
crowded theater last night. 1T is an
existing remedy and requires 40 special
legislation like that recently had in
Ohio.
The legal fact is, if a man buys a
certain seat in a theater there is an
implied contract with the manager that
he shall have an unobstructed view Of
the stage. If he doesn't get it on account
of a hat or any other object being be-
tween him and the stage the manager
is responsible in damages. If this REM
edy was enforced in a few instances,
theaters would soon have Il rule re-

I'm England there is a growing senti-
ment for international bimetallism, en-
bracing her political economists, her pro-
fessors Of universities, as also her manu-
facturers, agriculturists, ship owners EN-
gagged in foreign trade. and many of her
leading bankers, and those especially trad
ing with her dependencies, chiefly with
India, embracing all classes. These are
united into Il formidable organization to
promote bimetaliism. On the continent
the States Of the Latin union, except
Switzerland, are practically united. There
is q strong sentiment in Germany in the
anne direction. The international BIZ
metallists are thoroughly organized in
France, Germany, Belgium and Holland.
They have the full sympathy Of their
governments-in France, Belgium and
Holland-and largely the support Of the
public representative men in both Ger
many and England.
THE Brussels conference met at an In
opportune time and without sufficient
preparation and consultation with gov
ernments invited to participate. Such
a conference, when held, should be pre-
ceued by a carefully digested plan for dis
cussion prepared in advance by the lead
ing governments. Thus it was at Brus-
sells that Germany and Austria and some
Of the smaller States were not permitted
to act and vote in the conference, and
therefore it was u failure as respects i'm
mediate results, but it accomplished one
thing Of great value, namely, a general
recognition of a serious evil that required
a practical remedy.

they were ably seconded by the most

None But Ayers at the Worlds Fair.
Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the worlds fair, Chicago. Manufact-
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
worlds fair authorities in favor of Ayers
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows:
sAyer's Sarsaparilla is not patent
medicine. 1t does not belong to the
list of nostrums. 1t is here ON its
merits.''

of logic, experience, example, hope, per-.
suasion and defiance, as the stops of an

no question about the result of

my last stand, or be driven entirely out
of the country. I must fee to China.
Many of you do not recognize the new
enemy. 1t is not new to me. Free sill
yer, stripped of it's cloak, is the same
old fallacy of fat money. 1t is taking
with it many old-time Republicans, but
it has not fooled me. and 1 want to say
this for the grand old party: Whenever
it has been in power it has furnished
employment at good wages; times have
always been prosperous. 1 may have
been misled along other avenues, but
the Republican party has never fooled
me once" Mr.. Isenberg then related
very comical story about naming the
baby. He wanted it called Benjamin
after his broGher and his wife wanted it
called Arthur after hers. So it was
mutually agreed to callit Benjamin Ar
thur. 1t was during campaign, and
before the baby had been christened
letters were received from both brothers.
Mr.. Isenberg's brother had become sus
picious of the party through the accusa-
tions of the enemy, and his brother-in-
law was also at the point of severing his
party ties and going over to the Demo-
Gratis. It made Mr.. and Mrs. Isenberg
both SO mad they gave up its intended
names and always after called it Walter
Henry. Mr.. Isenberg told of how Re-
publican could be reached who honestly
differed, or was in quandary as to what
to do, but he advised letting Populist
alone, because he had renounced his
reason. ST have found, ALSO" he said,
''that one Populist can make more noise
than score of Republicans. They are
like the coyotes of nay neighborhood.
They can howl in SO many and rIdicu-
lous kinds of noises that they may be
easily overrated. Don't be fooled upon
their numbers In like strain the
speaker continued for several minutes,
and at the conclusion was roundly
cheered.
Mr.. Hugh Gourlay was also called
and responded briefly. He began by
saying he could conceiveof no circum-
stances under which he would vote
either the Democratic or Populist ticket.
He spoke of the words attributed to
Blaine concerning the single gold stand
ard by the free silver press, and pro-
nounced them bogus in such strong
terms as dishonest, garbled, etc. He
