4 COSTLY ACCIDENT.
IT Will, PROBABLY REQUIRE 100000 TO PAY FOR
TILE ATIANTIc CITY COLLISION
BAIL IN CHICAGO.

IT Will, PROBABLY REQUIRE $4,000 TO PAY rOR
THE ATLANTIC CITY COLLISION.
Camden. Aug. lO.-Five hundred thousand collars
f. the amount according to railroad men here thal
will be required 10 pay the claims for damages 10
the relatives Of the persons who were killed ana
injured in the meadow collision. when forty-four
lives were lost and twice that many injured by the
Reading express train crashing Into the West Jer-
sty excursion train nearly two weeks ago.
1t Is expected that suits against the railroads Will
be Immediately begun, and that the courts VIII be
busy for some time to come listening 10 the petl-
tons There is considerable speculation as to who
the defendants Will be. The attorneys OF the
plaintiffs will have decide this, but it IS thought
that the Reading railroad Will DO the heavier loser
There are many who contend that the Atlantic
CITY Railroad. which is owned by the Reading. can
be sued while others argue that the suits must he
against the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad,
and that this company can then recover from the
Reading if IL can establish that the Reading road
was responsible for the accident. Both companies
may be made joint defendants, ana the Verdicls
may be equally divided.
