fl BAD FREIGHT WRECK.
Trains on the New York Central Stalled
 All DnY.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Dec. 12-A bad freight wreck occurred on the New York Central five miles north of Pough- keepsie to-day. No lives were lost. The fireman was hurt, but not seriously. All traffic was blocked and through trains were run over the Harlem divi- sion. Fourteen freight cars were wedg- ed into the cut where the accident oc- cured. The wrecked cars were loaded with all kinds of general merchandise, cases of medicines, furniture, pianos. fruits, furs for a military regiment in Canada, canned goods and machinery. About one-half of the freight remained free from damage. The engineer was slightly bruised and the fireman's back was badly strained from being thrown down in the cab. The limited trains were run between Albany and New York over the Harlem division. The fast mail train that carries the New York newspapers to all points north and west was stalled here all day with about sixty tons of newspapers design ed for places throughout the state. At o'clock tonight one track was put in operation and trains are now running with slight delay.

FOR ANArIoNAL UNIVERSITY.
Bill to be Introduced Into Both Houses of
 Congress To-day.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The bill to es- tablish the University of the United States will again be introduced in both houses of congress tomorrow. The bill in general terms provides for an insti- tuition of the highest possible type for the graduates of the accredited colleges erence to the work of the original re- search and investigation in all import is vested in a board of regents and a university council. The board of re- gents embraces the president of the United States, the chief justice of the United States, the president of Smith sonian Institution, the president of the National Educational association, the president of the university and nine other citizens to be appointed by the president by and with the consent of the senate.
 The bill is the outgrowth of more than hundred years agitation. The thought of a national university first came to Washington while command ing the Revolutionary army. Subse- quently, as president, he repeatedly urged its establishment and in his last will and testament he left $200. .00A in stocks as a first endowment, the inter est to be compounded. Had congress fostered the plan this sum would now be nearly $5, ,000,0 900. The idea thus cher ishe6 bv inc Father of His Country was also indorsed by Presidents John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams and Jackson. and in more recent years by Presidents Grant and Hayes,

He was received on the railway platform by General Azcarraga, former premier; General Borrere, former commander of the Sixth army corps, and by a num- Der republicans, Carlists, Conservatives and Robledoists.

There was no further incident the public appearing indifferent. A few friends, including Senor Romero Ro- beldo, accompanied General Weyler to his apartments. About a hundred peo- most immediately after he entered the building.
 The partisans of General Weyler say that crowd of eight thousand people rendered him an ovation with shouts of Long live Weyler; death to the Yankees" and the like. He will be re- ceived by the queen regent tomorrow.

POEITICAL REFORM FRS TO MEET. A Call Signed by Prominent Men of the
 Country.

Country.
 New York, Dec. 12.-The call that Is subjoined was given out tonight by Ralph M. Falsey, secretary of the Civic Federation of Chicago, who has been acting for a large number of reform and quasi-political organizations the past three weeks. The object of this conference is to bring together men with practical ideas from all the large cities and especially from states where substantial progress has been made in caucus reform. The programme will include speeches from men of national reputation in both political parties, as well as reports from practical men as to the working Of the various laws now governing primary elections or caucus es. Considerable attention will be giv en to the question, "how to get voters out to the primaries" after fair laws are secured. Special interest will be taken in reports from New York, Mas sachusctts Illinois, New Jersey. Mary land and Ohio, where legislatures will then be in session and considering pri- mary election laws. Headquarters will be opened at the Hotel Manhattan, Madison avenue and Twenty second street, December 22. The call is as fol- lows:
 Believing that our caucus or prima- ny election customs and laws lie at the very root and source of our entire elec- tive franchise system, and that the misrule of our larger cities is due in a large measure to the defects in such practices and customs, it therefore fol- lows that to purify this system is to take a long step in the direction of hon. esty, economy and efficiency in every branch of the public service and fur ther believing that the enactment of laws to prevent corrupt caucuses prac- tices and throw the safeguards of a regular election around the caucus or primary will encourage many more good citizens to take part therein. we. the undersigned, for the purpose of dis cussing and discovering as far as pos sible the precise defects in the various systems which now obtain, and their remedies, and to take such action as may seem wise in the premises, do hereby join in calling a conference of persons interested in said question to convene in the city of New York on the l4th and 18th day of January, 1898. We deem 1t desirable that the confer ence be made up of men from all parts of the country and without regard to party or factional affiliations" The call is signed by some of the most prominent men in the country, includ- ing mayors, presidents of chambers of commerce and of leading reform clubs and private citizens.

fl TICKET SCA LPER AR CRESTED. An Alleged Fraud in Connection With the
 Six-DaY BioyoIe Race.

New York, Dec. 12-Harry w. Wells, 8 ticket scalper, who endeavored to make some $2,oOo by the sale of bogus tickets for the six days bicycle race at Madison Square Garden, was to-day held in $500 bail. He is accused of hav- ing ordered from a printer the tickets in the name of Manager Powers. By some error in the taking of the order the fraud was exposed. When Wells called for the tickets he was arrested. Manager Schroeder of Madison Square Garden said that if the fraud had not been discovered a panic might have fol- lowed the presentation of the tickets at the garden entrance. They would have been stopped and in the rush the crowd would fail to comprehend the true situ- ation. Wells asked for a delay in court to-day on the plea that he wanted an opportunity to get witnesses to prove his responsibility.

ASSdSSINiTED IN AMTTE CITY.
s. B. Mullen, an Entire Stranger in the
 Place.

Amite City, La, Dec. 12.-Another as- sassination, the second in a week, has been added to the record of Tanginpo- ca parish. This evening in the full glare of the hotel lights $. B. Mullen was shot to death. He was standing in the hotel gallery and the assassin shot him from behind. There were two shots fired, one of which penetrated the brain. Immediately a large crowd con- gregated and the greatest excitement prevailed. Sheriff Edwards was noti- fled and organized a small posse. Bloodhounds will take up the trail of the guilty parties. Why Mullen was killed is yet mystery. He is an entire stranger here and could hardly have had any connection with any of the murders hereabouts. Some people are of the opinion that he had enemies at home who followed him.
