COLLISION ON THE ELEvATED.
sixth Avenue Train Runs Into n Ninth Ave-
nuo at the Battery.

Sixth avenue train, drawn by q motor in
charge Of Engineer William McCann. turned
into the terminal station at South Ferry a few
minutes before o'clock yesterday morning just
as Ninth avenue train, drawn by a motor in
charge of Engineer Pink, started out from the
west side OF the station. The red danger signal
was set against Engineer McCann, the officials
Of the road say. but he 1t too late to prevent
a collision at the "cross over" which is tho
place where trains pass from one track to tho
other. Pink saw the white signal in front Of
him. and he kept on his way. His motor and tho
first car had passed the crossing when McCann's 9
motor, the speed OF which had been slackened
reached the crossing.
1t struck the forward part OF the second car
Of tho Ninth avenue train, breaking the plat
form and derailng the forward truck. George
Carlson, printer, who had been standing in tho
doorway or the car, was thrown down and his
hands were cut by splinters and glass.
Engineer McCann said later that the explosion
of n torpedo automatically set in tho track to
warn the engineer in tho event OF his failure
to notice the signal, told him that he was going
wrong. He reversed his motor. and the shock
OF the collision was not severe enough to dam
age 1t seriously Traffic the lines at the ferry
was delayed two hours. There were only few
passengers on the trains.

WASHINGTON. May 21.-Tho determination of
the House Committee on Interstate Commerce
yesterday to take no action at this session Of
Congress any Of the bills relating to the pro-
posed legalizing of pooling among the railroads

FRIDAY, May 81.


The course Of tho stock market after Mr.
Clevelands Venezuelan message, and more re-
Gently. when the question of recognizing the
belligerency Of tho Cuban insurgents was first
taken up In the Senate. induced many profes
sional operators to believe that the action re-
garding Cuban belligerency taken by the Senate
yesterday would not only unsettle tho local
market, but would also be regarded as q dis
turbing factor In the financial centres of Europe
1t appears from to-day's stock market that
familiarity with tho subject has deprived
1t Of much of its former Importance from
a speculative point Of Wow. In tho European
markets no cognizance was taken OF tho
passage of the Cuban belligerency resolution by
the Senate. The tendency Of prices on tho Lon
don Stock Exchange was toward a higher level,
because of the existence of fairly large short
interest and the near approach to the fortnightly
settlement. Tho fact that London was not dis
mayed by yesterdays action at Washington
disconnected the short interest In this MARKET
and in consequence stocks were In demand all
day to close contracts for q decline.
In addition to tho disappointment Just do
scribed. the bears also experienced q surprise In
supporting orders in the anthracite coal stocks,
particularly Jersey Central. That stock supplied
a larger percentage OF the dealings than any
other, and closed 1as v cent higher than yester-
day. Delaware and Hudson and Lackawanna

President MaxweiI's Statement or the Condi-
tion or the Company.
The officers OF the Central Railroad of New
Jersey declined to speak for publication con-
cerning the allegations in regard to the finan-
cial condition OF the company. A stockholder,
however, received yesterday from President J.
Rogers Maxwell the following letter on the sub
3ect:
DEAR SIR: Answering yours of to-day, I
would say one Of the causes Of the decline in the
price of our stock is the persistent attack on the
company in some OF the daily papers, and the re-
peated and misleading statements of the hoat ing
debt of the Lebish and Wilkesbarre Coal Com
pany, In which company the Central Railroad
Company OF New Jersey IL the principal owner.
We deem IL but right to make the following
statement: The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
Company, excepting 1885, 900 borrowed money,
Central Railroad Company of New Jersey. The
Central Railroad Company of New Jersey has
u, ,l0OOO0 borrowed money. The two companies
have coal on hand, coal accounts, cash in bank
and cash items in excess OF both the above named
amounts.
I've are suffering from The reduced volume of
freight and coal business caused by the general
business depression. Your roadway and rolling
stock are in good condition and capable OF han
ding largely increased business without any
outlay of new capital.
The net earnings of the year so far of the two
companies taken together are In excess OF same
period last year, and II business improves later
In the year should show considerable gains.

While they were yet wondering at this in the
house, at o'clock In the afternoon the house
keeper, Mrs Schwartz, noticed a strong stencil
OF kerosene, and went to investigate with one OF
tho tenants. The cellar had been whitewashed
and tho door left open that the walls might dry.
In the cellar cellar they found q wooden partition
contents had been scattered around. and two
tallow candles fixed in a barrel, evidently with
incendiary design. There had been a iire but
the general dampness had discouraged 1t and 1t
