THIRTEEN MEN KILLED.
Pennsylvania Train Runs Into Gang
of Twenty Workmen.

of Twenty Workmen.
Thirteen Italian and Polish laborers
were moved down and killed on the
Hackehsack Meadows just west of Jersey
City at s o'clock Friday morning by the
Milestone mail train on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Engineer John Van Nostrand
was in charge of the train. Eleven of the
laborers were killed outright. Two of the
injured died within an hour after the ac-
cident.
The killed and wounded were laborers
at work repairing the Pennsylvania Rail-
road tracks. They were in charge Of
Section Foreman William Cork. The
gang consisted of twenty men and nearly
all were either killed or injured. The
Milestone local trains engineer did not see
the men on account of the fog and the
smoke of a west-bound train which had
just passed the gang in an opposite direc-
ton.
AS Engineer Van Nostrand's locomotive
struck the men a fearful cry went up. 1t
startled the engineer and the passengers
of the train. Just then the smoke lifted
and the engineer saw a shocking sight.
All along the track for a distance Of 200
feet lay bodies and fragments of bodies,
some of the victims were breathing their
last, while others had been cut into pieces.
The cowcatcher was covered with blood.
When the train stopped many of the pas
sengers tainted at the sight. The corpses
and the wounded were placed in the
freight car Of the Milestone train and tax
en- to jersey City.

convicts from Cleveland, serving fifteen
years each for highway robbery, attempt

Guard Woods then presented himself in
the path of the prisoners, and fifteen shots
were fired by the guard and the prisoners,
none of which took effect. Having emp

the man with a club, crushing the skull
of one of them and breaking the shoulder
of the other. One will die.
While the fight was going on several
other prisoners were seen to have guns

PRIZE OF WAR LOST.
Wrecked Maria Teresa Is Beyond All
Hopes of Rescue.

Wrecked Maria Teresa Is Beyond All
Hopes of Rescue.
1t will be impossible to save the Maria
Teresa, which lies stranded on a coral
reef off Cat Island. This unfortunate
news was communicated to the Navy De-
-partment in a lengthy cablegram from
Captain McCalla, dated Nassau, n. 2.
Captain McCalla says the warship is
stranded in from sixteen to twentyone
feet Of water, with her head to the north
ward. She rests on a rocky reef covered
with coral sand, interspersed with boul-
ders. The reef extends outside of the
wreck both to northward and southwark,
and it would be impossible, he says, for
anything but a light draft boat to ap-
proach her.
Captain McCalla sums up his report by
saying that the ship is telescoped and that
as the rivets are sheared by the constant
working Of the ship the telescope process
must continue. In addition to turret guns
there are four 6-inch guns on the Teresa
taken from one of the wrecked ships and
remOunted in Guantanamo.

3,816 presidential and 69,75 fourth class.
The net increase in the number of post

The largest number of presidential post
Offices is in New York, with $780, followed
by Pennsylvania with 284; Illinois, 257;
Iowa, PIP, and Ohio, 208. The greatest
number of fourth class postoffices are in
PENNSYLVANIA, 4,S71; New York, 1894;
Virginia, 1927; Ohio, 3,175, and North
Carolina, 1888.
In compensation Massachusetts heads
the list, showing an average compensation
for her fourth class postnasters Of 1886
per annum, followed by Rhode Island,

Connecticut fifth, $3.50. Lowest in this
table are South Carolina, % cents, and
Mississippi, 81 cents.
The total number of appointments made
during the fiscal year was 25,653.
An interesting feature of the report re-
lates to the postal facilities for Alaska.
Inspectors were detailed to reorganize the
mail service in this territory, which re-
suited in the establishment of a line OF
postoffices from the Canadian borders to
the Boring Sea, distance of about 1900
miles, and many other needed improve
ments were made in the mail service in
Alaska upon the recommendation Of these
inspectors.
Among the recommendations are that
severe penalty be provided for employees
embezzling or destroying newspaper mail.
covering the transmission Of "green
goods and obscene matter through the
mails, and that special strong stamped
10-cent envelope of superior material be
adopted in lieu of the present system Of
registered letters. Many losses occur in
the mails because Of the poor quality of
the envelopes in which the articles are
inclosed
1t is also recommended that all money
order Offices be inspected annually, which
would be radical extension Of the inspec-
ton system, and it is stated would doubt
less be of great advantage to the service.

TEMPLE is GIVEN UP,
The ". c. T. U. Abandons the Chicago
Building nv Vote of $50 TO IL

Building by Vote of $50 to II.
By vote of 2S5 to Il the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, in session
at st. Paul, dropped the Chicago Temple
as an affiliated interest and disclaimed all
connection with the building, which was
intended to be memorial to the late
Frances E. Willard. Absolute action was
not taken until after debate Of six hours,
which at times was very much heated.
Mrs. Carse's methods came in for great
deal of criticism. 1t was shown that she
spent $164,000 in issuing 100000 worth
of bonds. The debate abounded in accu-
sations, insinuations and determinations.
Mrs. Carse read the repor. of the Tenn
pie trustees. She also read letter from
Marshall Field dated Nov. 2, in which be
said If the friends of the cause would sub
scribe sufficient amount to cancel the
remainder of the issue of 100000 Of
bonds he would give $4,000 of stock and
$4,000 in cash, the latter to be applied
toward the payment of a 500, 900 floating
debt and $50, 900 interest on the first mort
gage bonds. Mrs. Carse showed that
$173,5 of the amount asked for had
been provided, leaving $126, 500 yet to be
secured
Mrs Clara III. Hoffman of Missouri, ma
tional recording secretary, said that
pledges were getting cheap. The w. @.
L. U. had heard nothing but pledges for
ten years. Il wish to add" she contin-
ued, that the donations received from
young peoples societies and philanthropy
ic organizations, which have been pour
ing a perfect avalanche of kilograms up
on us demanding we shall stand by the
Temple, have amounted to only few
hundred dollars in spite Of some rainbow
promises"
Miss Anna Gordon, Miss Wizards COM
panion for twenty-one years, read from
memoranda to show that Miss Willard
had begged Mrs. Carse to be content with
a 100000 to 100000 building. She in
timated that worry over the Temple hast
ened Miss Wizards death.
A resolution of thanks to Mrs. Carse
for her efforts on behalf Of the Temple
was adopted. An adjournment was then
taken.
At the session Tuesday Mrs. Stevens Of
Maine was elected president Of the Ma
tional w. @. I. u, she receiving 81 Of
the 356 votes cast.

NIr. Moody and the War.

The prospects of having from so to
100000 Young men assembled it camps
during the coming summer, has appealed
to d. L. Moody as affopding an exception
al opportunity for evangelistic work
among them. Already he has sent Rev.
G.. c. DIXON, Gen. O. O. Howard, Major
White and j. II. Burke TO Florida where
they have inaugurated the mission under
the most favorable circumstances. The
standing of the men selected to begin the
work has accorded the movement the most
cordial welcome from officers and soldiers
alike, and Mr.. Moody hopes to send a
number of efficient workers to all the
camps as soon as sufficient funds are
received to meet the expenses.
The workers all supplied with large guam
titles of testaments and regelious books
and periodicals. Should the war continue
Mr.. Moody will go to the 'front.' where his
experience in the Christian commission o:
the late war will be of great service to him
Mr.. Moody hopes TO be able to raise enough
money within the next 30 days to place
a testament and regelious book in the
hand of every soldier in the army and to
to send out at least a score of experienced
evangelists.
