PENSIONERS IN A WRECK.
An Excursion Car Turns Over at Atlantic City
Two Persons Hurt

Two FernOhh
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. Aug. 3.-A coach In a
Pennsylvania Railroad excursion train jumped
the track at Boston and Atlantic avenues
Chelsea, this evening" The car was thrown
down five-foot embankmcnt and two persons
were severely injured.
The train was loaded with police pension fund
excursionists from Philadelphia. Tho two pcr-
sons injured are Thomas Farret OF 149 Cedar
street, Manayunk who is badly bruised and re-
ceived severe decorations about the head and
hands, and P. J. Dunlap of AL Trenton avenue.
Camden who has a sprained shoulder and back.
An ambulance took them both TO the City Hos
pital.
Tho cause OF the accident was piece OF wood
that was jammed into the switch.
The train hands think that 1t was piece OF
planking that had broken off and been carried
Into its dangerous position by the wheels Of the
train. There were ten cars in the train. All
were well filled with passengers. except the last,
which contained only eight or ten persons
The engine and nine cars went safely over the
switch but the rear truck OF the last car jumped
the track. The car was thrown against Il trolley
pole in the middle OF Atlantic avenue, and tho
force OF the collision tore the pole out OF the
ground. The brakeman signalled the engineer
to stop, but he was unable TO do SO until the
train had travelled fully 200 feet.
The dcrailcd wheels ran over tho ties until
the cur had nearly rounded the curve at that
place and then they ran off the ends of the ties.
The car turned over on its side and the pas
senRers were thrown in heap.

SoMERvILLE, N. j., Aug. 3.-Peter s. Gulick,
President of tho Bridgewater Township Com
mittee, presided here to-day at q special meet
ing of the Township Committee, held to con-
slider the granting of franchises to rival traction
companies, which are fighting for the right Of
way over the public highways. The meeting
was lively, and lasted so long that Mr.. Gulick
missed the stage that would have carried him
to his homo In Raritan. He started to walk
the distance. and as he neared small bridge
on the Raritan road he passed three strange
men lounging on the culvert wall
Gulick had taken but II few steps from the
innocentlooking trio when he heard a slight
was about to strike him with a black Jack. He
warded of the blow and landed his fist under
his assailant jaw with force that knocked him
senseless to the ground. He stopped the second
man who attacked him with blow square
between the eyes, which dropped him pncon-
sciou5 near the first man. and the third high
wayman, who seemed about to advance upon
him, suddenly changed his mind and sprinted
across the field to the tracks of the Central
Railroad.
Mr.. Gulick left the two men lying in the road
and continued his journey toward Raritan.
After his departure the third man returned and
succeeded in getting his companions across the
field to the railroad, where ali three boarded q
moving coal train and escaped. The police
were then in close pursuit.
Mr.. Gulick is over so years of age, but he is
a big man and has muscles OF iron. The best
years OF his life were spent In the butcher busi-
ness and blow from his fist will knock out q

WAS OUR FLAG RAISED /?
THEY SAID IN HAWAII THIS Event
WOULD oCCUR ON AUG. Q.

Tho Report in Honolulu Hs That Our Govern
mont Decided to Declare n Protectornte
Until tho senate should Take Action on
tho Annexation Treaty Ex- Minister Dun.
HONOLULU, July 27. via San Francisco. Aug.
BIN official circles 1t is understood that next
week will sec tho Stars and Stripes float over
Honolulu for tho first time since Paramount
Blount hauled down the flag raised by old Min.
lister Stevens. The story apparently well au.
thenticated, Is that in case tho steamship
Moana, due from America tomorrow, brings
news that Congress adjourned without taking
action upon annexation, Minister Sewell has
instructions from his Government to raise the
American flag over the Government buildings,
and declare the Hawaiian republic to be under
the protection OF the United States. This story
comes from tho innermost official circle, and
1t was given to your correspondent because.
as his informant said, tho thing would surely be
done on Aug. Q, and there could be no harm In
having 1t printed in America after 1t had ac-
tually occurred.
Aug. Q is fixed as tho date for the flag raising.
and Admiral Beardslee will be on hand with his
marines and bluejackets to add prestige to tho
occasion. The Hawaiian National Guard will
also DO under arms and ready for action. and the
, Citizens Guard, still larger body OF trained
men, will be notified to be ready to respond II
! called upon.
The protectorate is to be declared, so tho story
| goes, because the Hawaiian Government does
| not feel 1t stand alone during the long
! months that must intervene before Congress
| meets again in December, when it is almost cor
tain that the annexation treaty will be passed.
The opinion. however, is almost universal hero
| that the Moana will bring news that annexation
is victorious. AS matter Of fact, every thing is
| in readiness for grand celebration Of the event.
| Ex-United States Minister Dun, passed
| through here to-day on the steamer Begic. In
an interview he expressed the opinion that tho
| present Congress would never act favorably
| upon tho annexation treaty. for the reason that
| the islands are too small and unimportant a
matter to consider when such action might cause
a rupture OF the friendly relations existing be-
tween the United States and Japan He does
not look for any rupture that may disturb tho
friendly relations now existing between the
| United States and Japan.
Mr.. Dun, however. believes Japan has a just
claim against the Hawaiian Government in con-
nection with the recent immigration trouble.
! although she 10 not likely to enforce 1t In case
Hawaii refuses to recognize the claim. 1t is a
| matter, Mr.. Dun says, that ought TO be left to
arbitration. and he believes Japan will consent
to the proposal recently made by the Hawaiian
Government
