A slight wreck occurred at West

AS a Maryland division freight was
passing north through West Yard at
$3.50 o'clock this morning the train
broke apart and two Nat cars lNpped
and crushed to death two unknown
men who were stealing a ride on the
cars.
The men were poorly dressed and

about 30 years of age. The bodies

RIVER MINES TO GO.

NAVIGATION WILL SOON BE RE-
STORED TO ITS FORMER FREE
DOM.
Shipping circles generally are rejoic-
ing over the order issued by the secre-
tary Of war, calling for the immediate
removal of the submarine mines in all
the harbors of the United States. Late
yesterday afternoon the Maritime Ex-
change received a telegram from Wash
ington, signed by Secretary Alger
confirming the report Of the ordering
of the removal Of the mines, as they
were an unnecessary burden upon COM
merce since the location of Cervera's
feet at st. Jago and more particularly
since its destruction Sunday week.
The mines in the Delaware which
extended across the channel from Fort
Delaware, were laid toward the latter
part of April, few days after the dec
laration Of war, and as result rules
were promulgated governing the navi-
cation of the harbor which seriously
interfered with commerce. Vessels
were not permitted to approach the
mined locality before a. m. or after
s p. m, and even between these hours
they were subjected to long deten-
tiOns, awaiting their turn to be con-
vOyed through by the patrol boats.
The several lines of fruit steamships
having on board cargoes likely to per-
ish through few hours detention
have been seriously hampered in the
prosecution Of their business. These
companies several weeks ago asked &c
be exempted from the rules, but theil
petitions, OF course, could not b'
needed.
The marine underwriters are greatly
pleased over the contemplated remova
Of the submarine mines, as the YES
se,s upon which they had lines Of in
surance were at times subjected u
great risks while approaching the dan
gerous locality. Some of the deep
draught ships got through the buoye
channel only with the greatest diff
Guilty, as they were so close to the bot
tom that careful steering was rendere
impossible. The general coastwis
trade Of the country, which is in thes
days of competition done upon yer
close margin of profit, has been mos
seriously interfered with by the exis'
ence of the mines, andtheir removi
will enable colliers to make much be
ter time in the future.
The mines in and about the De-;
ware river were all laid under the 81
pervision Of Major Crosby, and ha'
only been completed a few week
These in conjunction with the stror
defences at Forts Delaware, Mott al
Delaware City made Philadelphia al
Wilmington impregnable. The locatiC
of the mines was continually beir
changed in order to confuse the e
emy, and this made the river very da
gerous to navigation.
