MORE TROLLEY MAIL CARS.
The Hoboken and Rutherford Route
TO Garry the Mails.

The new improved system of trans
porting mail on trolley cars will soon
be established on the Jersey City, Ho-
boken and Rutherford Railway The
company already has a contract with the
government to carry the mails between
Paterson and Syngac. For this purpose
an ordinary passenger car is used, as the
quantity OF the mail is too small to ne
cessitate the construction of mail cars.
In few more months, however, there
will be regular mail cars running the
full length of the road, from Hoboken
to Syngac. Superintendent Cameron said
this morning that he was negotiating
with Assistant Postmaster General Stone
In regard to a contract and expected
that the papers would be signed in a few
weeks. AS soon as arrangements are
made with the Government he said, the
company will order built two mail cars
on the same plan as those now used in
New York City.
The cars will run at regular intervals,
taking on and throwing off mail at the
different postoffices along the route All
mail VIII be assorted in the cars SO as
to avoid delay in the Postoffices The
system will be a great improvement on
the present method of carrying the
mails by train. Residents of West Ho-
boken, Carlsbad, New Durham, Secau-
Gus. Passaic, Rutherford, Lake View,
Clifton. Paterson, Little Falls and
Syngac will get their mail direct from
the place where it is posted, while, at
New. York City, to be assorted, causing
delay before it is delivered.

TRAIN OVER AN ENBANKMBNT.
Three Mon Killed In Wreck on the
boston and Maine r.. Il.

EXETER, N. H., June 10, 1897.-The
most serious freight wreck on the Boston
and Maine Railroad in many months oc-
CURED on the Western Division. about a
quarter Of a mile east of this station, at
1870 o'clock this morning. Train No. 500,
known as the Portland and Boston
through night freight, ran into wash
out at Fernalds Culvert. The locomotive
and seven cars were demolished and three
men were killed.
The dead
Charles Rankin. engineer, of Portland.
A. c. Young, brakeman, Portland.
Albert Chandler brakeman, Portland.
Daniel King, the, fireman, was badly
burned and was otherwise injured in the
wreck. He is at the Cottage Hospital
here. 1t Is thought the chances are good
for his recovery.
The train was a heavy one, consisting
of twenty cars, and was about half an
hour behind time. 1t was speeding along
at a good rate and the engineer appar-
emily had no warning of a washout ahead.
Those who were in the rear of the train
were suddenly thrown down by a violent
shock and the cars came to complete
StandStill
The locomotive left the rails, which for
a distance of twenty feet had been under
minded by the swollen stream beneath the
culvert, and the locomotive with seven
heavily laden freight cars went over a
40-foot embankment The engine and cars
and contents Of the latter were practi-
cally ruined. The engineer and two
brakemen who were on the front portion
of the train were dead when found some
time later. They had no chance to jump
and were caught in the wreckage. They
were badly disfgured. The fireman,
Daniel King, went down nearly the entire
distance with the engine and was badly
burned and scalded.
Twelve freight cars and the caboose
remained on the rails and beyond a Sc
we're shaking up Conductor Eugene
ward Clarke, were not injured
An inspection of the wreck this fore
noon shows that the water in the cul-
vert, swollen to a good sized stream by
the heavy rains, had washed away the
embankment and roadbed for distance
of 20 feet, leaving the rails practically
held only by the fish plates.
The road is completely blocked, and
traffic will hardly be resumed before late
this afternoon. All trains are stalled and
the tie-up is more complete owing to a
wreck on the eastern division near Sea-
brook. Passengers are being carried in
barges around the wreck, a distance of
three-quarters of a mile. Wrecking trains
from Portland and Lawrence have been
here since before daylight, and several
gangs of Workmen are clearing away the
debris and filling in the road bed.
The loss to the road is very heavy, and
will probably reach $4,000.

bounty for agricultural products. and it
was 4s defeated-yeas, 10 nays, So
Messrs. Allen, BuIler, Stewart, Harris
Mantle. Pettigrew, silver Republicans;
Roach and Tfllman, Democrats.
Mr. Tillman announced that his col
league (Mr. McLaurin) would have voted
for the amendment.
This closed the consideration of the
cereal paragraph of the agricultural
schedule. and Mr.. Allison. in charge of
the bill. asked that the further considera-
tion of the agricultural schedule be
to the sugar schedule. There was no op-
position and the Senate thereupon entered
upon the consideration of the sugar
schedule.
he would offer mis- amendment to admit
free of duty goods made by trusts, in
connection with the schedule.
The original amendments of the Senate
committee was withdrawn by Mr.. Allison
without objection. The House provisions
were then taken UP. In connection with
Mr. Allison asked that the proviso re-
lating 20 the Hawaiian Islands go over
He said in this connection that the ac-
ton OF the Senate Committee relative
to any purpose to exclude Hawaiian
sugar The committee had never con-
sidered the question and had let it go
over for future consideration. Later, he
thought, a proposition on that branch
OF the subject would be presented, but
for the present he asked that it go over.
Mr.. Allison, in behalf of the committee
then moved an amendment striking out
SI5-lo00 and inserting $4,000 as the duty
on refined sugars.
Mr.. Jones (Ark.) was recognized for a
speech on the general features of the
sugar schedule.
The Senator had before him small bot
ties showing the various grades of sugar,
raw and refined, and with these illustrat-
ed his argument as he proceeded. He as
serted that the new sugar proposition
would increase the profits of the sugar
refiners in every point. If that was the
purpose of. the managers of the bill they
should let 1t be known. He was in favor
OF tax on sugar. but he believed that it
should be made as light as possible and
should give no special benefit to anybody
