important Evidence Given by
the Operator Of the Block
Signal Tower. S$
Signals Were Set at Danger but
the Engineer Did Not
s. Heed Them.

ATLANTIC Cry, n. j., Aug. 5.-The
official inquiry by Coroner Mclaughlin
to determine the responsibility for the
collision between the Reading and
Pennsylvania trains was resumed dur
ing the morning. The presence on the
witness stand Of Operator Hauser, who
displayed the signals from the crossing
tower, and Fireman Hallihan, who was
on the engine that ploughed through
the excursion train, made the examlna-
ton the most interesting Of the series.
Hauser declared emphatically that he
had taken no Intoxicating liquors on
the day OF the accident. Witness said
he had just gone on duty when the
West Jersey indicator rang. Previous
to that he had looked at the signals
And All Were at Danger.
He was sure of this. He saw that the
West Jersey was little late and then
gave them the right Of way. He saw
the board come down. Then he pulled
the distant semaphore. The West Jer-
sey kept coming. Then he discovered
the Reading rounding the curve. he
expected the Reading to slow up to let
the West Jersey over. He saw the
steam of the Reading go down as Is
usual when it is turned off. The engi-
neer of the Reading gave two blasts OF
his whistle, but both trains kept Oh and
the collision followed. He would be
disobeying orders

in favor of an excursion train, but he
thought he had not done so in this case
because the West Jersey was so much
nearer the crossing. Fireman Halihan
stated that he was in the tender during
the approach to the signal tower and
did not see the signal until
the second whistle was blown.
The distant one then indicated
caution and the home signal stop. He
was on the step of the engine when the
crash came. The engineer put Oh the
air brakes, and to witness mind did
everything possible to stop the train,
which was going As to 80 miles an hour

cago. The state convention will be held
in this city next Wednesday.
Senator Hill is not expected here until
Tuesday. and the meeting Of the state
committee will not be held until Tues
day night. The refusal Of w. c. Whit
ney to accept place upon the ticket as
a delegate at large has led to a compli-
cation and several candidates have
sprung up. A line Of policy, it has been
said, has been marked out to placate
the state Democracy so there will be a
united delegation to the national con-
vention. This has led to the proposal Of
one name from that organization If Mr..
Whitney still refuses to accept. Ex-
ecretary C. S. Fairchild Is the man men,
toned tonight, but no confirmation of
the rumor can be obtained here. The
organization from Kings county, how
ever, is presenting the name of Patrick
McCarren, the state senator from that
place. The other names upon the ticket
for delegates at large have had no oppo-
sition. They are Roswell P. Flower,
Edward Murphy and D. B. Hill.

DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS
Silver Men Generally In the Majority-No
Bolt Expected


Bolt Expected
PEORIA, ILL.,, June 21.-It is highly
probable that the Illinois state Demo-
cratic convention will complete it's work
Of naming state ticket and delegates
at large to the national convention In
one day. All the plans have been ar
ranged with this end in view, and w. H.
Hinrichsen, chairman Of the state CEN
trail committee, said today that the free
silver men had decided to do this and
that they could carry their point. He
says 954 of the 1869 delegates are in
structed for free silver and that they
will adopt free silver platform. AS yet
there has been no one talked of for gov
ernor but John P. Altgeld. 1t is con-
ceded that he will be the head Of the
ticket.
Gov. Altgeld arrived this evening from
Springfield. He found large number
of free silver Democrats awaiting him.
An informal conference was held in the
governors rooms, in which the program
for Tuesdays state convention was dis
cussed and reports were made to the
governor of what had been done. No one
here believes the gold standard men in
the party will bolt the convention.

THE INDEPENDENT FREE coinage @ SILVER

were unalterably opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver until we can
have an international agreement, and
in the meantime we will preserve the
existing gold standard.
To conclude with a word, when Sena-
tor Teller and his association bolted the
party at the st. Louis convention they
had no cause that did not exist four
years before at the Minneapolis conven-
ton, and when the Republican party
made the declaration 1t did make at St.
Louis it did not change It's position one
particle. but simply made it absolutely
certain, in order that there should be a
settlement of that question that the
proposition for free and independent
and unlimited coinage Of silver is a prop
osition that we did not entertain. We
did not entertain It because in our judg-
ment 1t does not, as Senator Teller and
his associates claim. mean bimetallism.
but simply silver monometallism.
We go into this therefore with our
gallant standard bearer representing to
the people of America protection to
American industries and American la
Dor and an absolutely sound dollar with
which to do our business. An absolutely
sound dollar. not simply for the mer-
chant and the banker. but for the wage
Garner as we'll. When man does a full
days work he is entitled to have full
one hundred cents in the dollar with
which he is paid, and we propose that
he shall have it. We propose that the
dollar we put into circulation-the me-
tallic dollar-shall be worth one hun
dred cents in gold the world over, no
matter whether 1t carries the eagle and
superscription or not. Take a silver
dollar and pound 1t into bullion and it is
worth fifty-four cents; take gold dol
lar and pound it into bullion and 1t is
worth one hundred cents all over the
world. Nobody Is cheated by that dol
lar; nobody is misled by it; no distrust
is created; everybody has confidence in
1t. and when Governor Mckinley shall
have been elected prosperity will at once
come again, because that will insure a
sound tariff. reciprocity and a sound
currency.

NEW WARSHIPS
Plans Adopted for the Vessels Recently Au.
thoriZed

WASHINGTON, June 21-The new
battleships for which proposals will be
invited within a day or two will follow
the general design of the Iowa rather
than that of the Kearsarge and Ken
lucky, except that the distribution of
armor will be as in the latter ship. This
is in accordance with the report of the
board which recently made it's report
on the batteries Of battleships, as is also
the arrangement of battery. The Kear-
sarge and KENTUCKY have double-story
turrets. the eight guns being above the
revolving turrets with the fourteen inch
guns in the lower turret. The board
did not approve this arrangement and
recommended only turrets for fourteen
inch guns and that no eight-inch guns
be fitted, but in their stead large num-
ber of rapid fire six-inch guns, which
they believe will be quite as effective and
which causes a distribution of battery
in keeping with foreign practice.

Of public opinion here. Whether it is
so or not 1t is considered a proposition

Personally 1t Is my opinion II the DEM

trous defeat that any party has ever
had in this country. I understand it is
honestly believed in, and people think
it will bring relief from their present
troubles. But between now and elec-
tion day it will be pretty thoroughly
sifted and the people Of the country
will not face the disturbance of values,
the losing Of confidence, the general dis
tress and ruin which would come to
their business interests with such a
change in their standard Of values as
would arise from such change. It will
overwhelm the persons who undertake
it.

say anything of a personal nature.

I sympathize with the feeling in the

to the principles which the uprising has
brought forth and the issue being
