STRUCK BY AN ENGINE
THREE MEN RECEIVE FATAL
INJURIES
A Careless Stage Driver Takes His
Vehicle Squarely in Front Of
q Train

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Twenty per-
sons were injured, three perhaps fatally.
at a grade crossing on the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad be-
tween Passaic and Delaware, N. j., to-
night. They were in stage, which
was struck by train. That any Of
them escaped is regarded as miraculous
The most seriously injured are:
William Crane, driver, arm and head
cut.
William Moran, head and body badly
cut; skull believed to be fractured.
Charles Swenkle, skull fractured, face
cut and injured internally.
Nellie Wshdyke, arm broken, head
cut.
All the victims are employed in VOL
hern & Aldrichs mill at Delaware, about
two miles from Passaic. They ride to
and from their work in a big covered
stage. There were thirty-six persons
crowded into the stage tonight. The
party relieved the monotony of the trip
by singing, and it was not until the
horses were on the track that the en-
gine was seen by the driver.
The driver struck his horses sharply
with the whip, and they leaped forward.
then stopped abruptly as the gate closed
on the other side Of the track. The loco
motive struck the stage almost in the
middle, hurting it several feet ahead,
then struck it again, throwing it off the
track. With the second blow of the
locomotive the occupants were scat
tered in all directions.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-The reci-
procity negotiations between the United
States and Germany are practically sus-
pended. They never got beyond the in
itial stage. There appears to have been
Willingness on the part of both govern
ments to look into the subject, but the
inquiry did not develop any prospect of
material concessions on either side. The
articles on which a reciprocity agree
ment" can be made are produced in
France and not in Germany. The ut
most extent of a reciprocity treaty be-
tween the United States and Germany
under the present law will be a 20 per
cent reduction of duty on certain agreed
upon German products.
Germany is chiefly concerned about
sugar, but the 20 per cent reduction in
duty permitted under the Dingley law,
it is said would be of insignificant con-
sequence. Moreover, some doubt has
arisen as to whether any concessions
on this article would be granted by the
United States, in view Of the tendency
toward building up the American sugar
trade as against that of bounty paying
nations.
The negotiations with France are sim
ilarly at standstill, owing to the course
of the French government in raising the
duties on lard and other American prod
ucts. The reciprocity negotiations with
Great Britain, as to the British West
1ndias, are proceeding slowly, but an
agreement is not expected in the near
future.

President Charles w. Eliot of Harvard
university said that the Puritan spirit
survives and that the descendants of the
Puritans are now doing just such things
as the Puritans themselves had done.
Senator Edward o. Wolcott of Col
orado received hearty applause when
he rose to respond to the toast, THE

Senator G. F. Hoar of Massachusetts,

lowed Senator Hoar reciting poem en-
titled "IIoosierdom.'
Richard Olney followed He said that
in no place was there such a Difference
and respect for the law as in New Eng
land. The New Englander deprecates
utterances which are against the estah-
lished form of government and cries of
foreign invasion. Hatred on this side
of the Atlantic of those of blood relations
across the water is largely mythical,
Mr.. Olney declared.
He was followed by Gen. Nelson A
Miles, who spoke to the toast, THE
