Reading engine rushing on at nearly a mile
a minute; there was scarcely one passenger
that was not killed severely injurd.
saw the remains of the Reading engine in q
heap of scrap iron and rubbish piled up with
the crushed The engine was smashed
up so completely that it was simply scrap
heap. | could not see whether the engineer
and fireman were killed but they could not
have escaped. The wreckage caught fire
from the ruins of the engine, and a fire en-
CINE from atlantic City was brought out. The
flames wers soon subdued, although l could
not tell whether any of the victims had been
burned to death. l saw one little boy laid
out on the bank with his clothes burned quite
off him, but he might have been dead before
the flames reached him. The Pullman car
on the rear of the Reading express did not
leave the track with the cars in front of 1t,
and the inmates suffered little harm beyond
bruises, cuts and sprains. Those who had
been spared on both trains stood about dazed
and helpless until the screams of the wounded
and dying brought them to their senses. The
physicians who had been summoned from
Atlantic City and brought by special train
over the Pennsylvania railroad, came in thick
and fast | assisted them in temporarily
dressing wounds in the field but it seemed
as if almost every victim pulled from the
wreck had been killed at the instant of the
collision. | saw the bodies of five children
lying side by side on the grass they had
been lifted out. The sights all about me
were heart-breaking and horrible. Mothers
were looking for children, and husbands for
wives, and the air was filed with groans and
cries.
John Peters, of this city, who was
on the West Jersey train, and who
jumpted when he saw the collision was
inevitable, arrived here this morning
Said he:
The trains were crossing the meadows at a
terrific rate, and it seemed to me as if one
was racing to catch the other. So far as
could see the red light in the signal tower
was up, blocking the Reading train and Civ
ing the right of way to the Pennsylvania.
Neither train stopped, and then the Reading
train plowed It's way through the center of
the other. The escaping steam covered the
wrecked trains for few minutes and when
it lifted could see the broken cars and the
dead and injured. l saw the rescuers lift out
bodies scalded from the trunks upwards and
others with the heads crushed to a pulp
hanging at the side. Several men were taken
from the wreck and before they could be
placed in a comfortable position they died
The demand for vehicles was so great that
in many instances wagons were hauled to
the wreck by men, and the bodies taken away
in this manner.

MINNEAPOLIS WILL HELP
st. Paul to Entertain the Real Estate
Board.

The real estate board held a meeting
last evening at the Commercial club,
Minneapolis, where a matter pertain
ing to the next convention of real estate
men, that is to be held in this city the
first of September, was considered. w.
A. Barnes, of Minneapolis, who is a
member of the national board Of con-
troll, had recently received letter from
the president of the board, asking him
if the Minneapolis board would assent
to the convention being held in st. Paul
this year.
Two years ago the convention was
held In Buffalo, N. Y, at which time
it was decided to hold the next con-
vention in ST. Paul. AS an answer to
the letter from the board of control,
Minneapolis offers to do everything in
her power that st. Paul may secure
the plum. 1t is quite certain, therefor,
that the convention comes to the
SANITY city. In the neighborhood of
500 real estate men are expected here
at that time, and Minneapolis will de-
vote one day to entertaining them
here. A matter that will come before
the convention this year is the Torrens
system, which contemplate to do away
with the present system of real estate
transfer, which causes so much litiga-
ton and expense.

CUT THE ASSESSMENTS.
Committee Tells EquaIfzers Why 1t
Should Be Done.

number Of representative citizens were
present this morning at the first conference
between the city board of equalizers and the
committee Of nine appointed by the board of
trade to watch them. Among them were John
S. Pillsbury, Thomas H. Shevlin, Judge II.
g. Hicks, Joel B. Bassett Anthony Kelly,
]: G. Haynes, Joseph Ingenhutt and others.
The discussion all hinged on the advisability
Of reducing the real estate valuation of the
city so as to conform with the reduction
made by st. Paul and to equalize the values
prevailing in the other parts of the state
The points made at the meetings held at the
board of trade rooms this week were reiter-
ated with many variations.
Judge Hicks was the chief spokesman, and
his talk was a very vigorous one. One of
his principal reasons for making a reduction
was to limit the bond margin. He thought
that there had been too much liberality in
the issuance of bonds which should occur
only in cases Of emergency.
1t was represented that the board was in
duty bound to make a much greater reduc-
ton than was recommended by Assessor
Plummer, as it was the unanimous and ex-
pressed wish of the people that it be done.
F. N. Stacy fired a lot of figures tending to
show that Kansas City and Chicago had kept
their values down. He made the declara-
ton that if the city board would reduce the
valuation the state board would approve the
action. The latter could not be expected to
insist that the local boards had placed toe
hlgh values. He made the point that Mime
apohs, st. Paul and Duluth paid over one
half the state taxes on account of the ex-
cessiye valuations, which were high simply
because they had to chase the bonded in
ddebtedness. He tried to make the point that
the committee of which he was member had
succeeded In having a reduction made last
year. but Mr.: Piummer insisted that the re.
auction had been agreed upon ten days be-
fore the committee visited the board.
Mr. Plummer, in a prolonged talk, ex-
planned his method of making assessments
and In closing advised that there be no re-
auctlon, for in the first place 1t would amount
10 naught, and. secondly, the city would lose
~Rste among investors.
