q. IN. The fog delayed 1t, and Engi-
neer John Van Ostrand was endeavor
ing TO make UP time. The train was
running mt high rate Of speed. he
believing there was nothing to obstruct
quick run to Jersey City, The first
he knew that the train had run into
the men was when the engine Jared.
Then the cries of the men fell on his
oars, and as soon as possible he
brought the train to stop Male
passengers got out and aided the train
mon in searching for the bodies Of the
victims. This was not an easy task
in the thick fog. A train had passed
on the wcstbound trnck few minutes
before the oastbound train ran the men
down. The smoke from the engine of
the westbouud train went over on the
eastbound track, and the noise Of the
westbound train prevented the work
men ON the eastbound track from hear
ing the approach Of the eastbound train.
There were 90 men in the gang, and
they were in charge of Foreman Will
liam Cork of Jersey City
As soon as the news Of the accident
reached Jersey City, Pennsylvania
railroad officials went to the meadows,
and superintended the removal of the
dead and injured.
When tho engine which struck the
lahorors reached the Pennsylvania
depot in Jersey City, the cowcatcher
was red with blood from the men
killed. A boy. after the engine had
stopped. picked up a hand from the
cowcateher. 1t had been severed FROM
one Of tho victims. The killed, it is
said, all resided in Jersey City.
Two bodies have been taken to Jersey
| City. Some OF the injured have also
arrived, and been sent 10 the hospitals.
Frank Wangan, q years old, is badly
hurt about the side. Frank Schwaskie
is so badly nlangled that he will proba
bly, die. Lawrence Hoffman, who was
struck by the body of ono OF the men
who was killed, was hurled to one side,
and badly injured internally.
Later-It is now definitely known
that IL men were killed, and six in
iured. The killed are Michael Law
4 less, Joseph Collasselo, Angelo Pigo
Frank Rondisiski, Frank Dukiskie,
Thomas Dougherty, Joseph Simenski
Joseph Broskie, Nicholas Roach
Joseph Smith and an unknown man.
Three men escaped unhurt.
OF the men injured, Frank Schwaski
will probably die, and Frank Wangar
is in q critical condition. Doughert.
was supposed to be on the lookout TO
approaching trains. He was consid
cradle distance up the track, but evi
IDENTIFY did not see the train, for h
gave no warning. His body was hurle'
80 feet through the air. The unknown

Howard ouarics Tries hut ia foiied-Two
Boys spy the Rope.

New Castle, Nov. %. - About s
O'Clock last evening Austin Longacre
and Mark Clymer, two lads who were
playing about the school green in the
vicinity of the rear end Of the eastern
yard Of the Jail, were startled by n
rustling noise in the tree over their
heads. Looking up they spied rope
which had been thrown over the wall
from the inside Of the wall. The rope
gradually came down weighted by a
piece of stone tied in q handkerchief,
which was attached to the end of the
rope.
Clymer kept guard while Longacre
latter pulled the rope into the school
green and then took IL into the Jail
and notified the night warden, John
went around the cells and parolled the
prisoners. Ho had about tlnished the
roll call Of tho long term prisoners
when his brother, james Hance, came
into the corridor with Howard Quarles
of Philadelphia, who was an inmate
of the "bum" cell and serving a term
Of GO days on the charge Of vagrancy.
Quarles was found in the cesspool il
the yard, where he hid when he found
his means Of escape taken away. He
was placed in cell No. 10, and asked
for something to eat, MS he had missed
his supper allowance by secreting him
self in the yard, when the other pris
oners were locked up.

10 Sing.
Probably the strangest scene to be
Witnessed in England last week, says q
recent Sketch, was tho invasion OF
Dartmouth by 700 or 800 Russian sol.
diers on thoir way to garrison Port
Arthur. @f
When coming down the English
Channel, the transport met with a
collision and put into Dartmouth for
repairs. There she will remain for
several weeks, and meanwhile the
troops must have some exercise, SO
they are landed in detachments md
marched along the beautiful highways
and byways Of the neighborhood, TO
the wonder Of the inhabitants and the
naval cadets Of the training ship Brit
ANNA.
They are all remarkably well-built
men Of about Ave feet seven inches In
height, with loose white blouses and
the usual peaked caps OF the Russian
army. What is even more interesting
than their marching Is the excellence
Of their singing Of patriotic songs with
which, as they passed over hill and
through dale, they woke up the .coun-
| try side. The singing consists of solos
sung by one OF the soldiers in front,
and choruses Justify and unsteady
rendered by the main body.
In France and Russia the assistance
which the singing Of some swinging
song is to men on the march is recog-
nized to a far greater extent than with
us. In the French navy there is mn
inspector of singing, who spends his
life in going from port to port, teach
ing the men how 10 sing Dibdin-like
ditties of his own composition.
The experiment has proved so much
of success that this Frenchman will
now take the naval cadets at Brest In
hand and teach them how to use theiI
voices. In a few years, time, conse
quently, every officer and sailor In the
French navy win be able to sing, ant
when they go into action, ashore OF
ahoat, they will keep their courage VI
by going over the patriotic and othe
songs taught them in times of peace.

BOTH COVERED WITH GORE
Two Men Killed in the West Yard Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
ONE TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD
The Other Probably Ten Years
His Senior.
RUN OVER BY LOCOMOTIVE OR, CARS

Two men. one apparently about %
years Of age and the other 10 years
older, we're killed in tho west yard
Saturday morning, presumably by n
locomotive or moving cars, but tho ex-
act nature of the accident Is not known.
The older mans left leg was cut Off,
both arms were broken and no WAS
herwiso injured, whilo the younger
mans head was crushed in the back
Both were literally covered with blood
when picked up.
The men we're both we'll dressed, and
neither had the appearance Of being n
tramp, although the younger, who
looked like a foreigner, and was appar-
entity a Pole, wore oyeralls. Their
clothing indicated that they we're look
! ing for work, but as no money was
found on either, it is presumed that
they either came to Wilmington on a
freight train or walked. The younger
man had on the third finger of his
right hand q handsome gold ring in
which were set three emeralds. He had
in his pockets q razor, mouth organ
and other small articles. His face was
clean shaven and he was q compare
lively samll man. He wore tan shoes
which had the appearance of being new.
The older man, who wore moustache,
had little about him except hooks
aud papers, and photograph Of
woman, matches, lead pencils, &c.
Among the letters was found one adj
dressed to Richard Learsman, Glen
burnie postofiice, Ammo Co., care of G.
Stinchsomb, and, Judging from its
contents, it must have been written by
his wife who was evidently in Balti-
more. Another, addressed to the Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation
Co. was written by Chris Shaw, Jr., OF
Shaw's Hotel, Baltimore. 1t was dated
October 3lst, and was recommends
tion, stating tho Learsman had been a
cook at the hotel for some time and
was competent to do that kind of work.
Among the papers was found a caro-
from the Harvard Art Studio, No. 1921
North Gay street, Baltimore In o book
was found the name and address ED
ward Holm, l542 N. Fulton ave."

One of New York's oldest collectors
has devised an entirely new use for
stamps. In going through one Of the
large bazars or department stores his
attention was attracted by an enormous
display Of easels, varying in size from
those intended to hold large oil paint
ings to diminutive gilt easels no larger
than lady's brooch. He bought a
few of the small ones at % to 70 cents
each, and taking the smallest, placed
in it the portrait Of Queen Victoria,
cut out of one-penny envelope. The
result was charming, the effect being
that of delicate cameo. Encouraged
by this he proceeded to fill out the
larger frames with similar portraits
from stamped envelopes and postage
stamps, containing from two to ten
portraits. .Harper's Round Table.

Although the price Of sugar advanced
Monday lis of cent per pound,
raising the prices of granulatod sugar
delivered ON the pavement of the grocers
in this city TO 81. 50 per 100 pounds, it
is not likely that tho dealers will ad-
vance the price to the consumer above
what it now is, 6 cents per pound
The raise is decided advantage TO
tho retail dealer, inasmuch as the
price allows him better chance of
getting out at the present margin,
than it did before the advance Of a
few days ago. When the sugar was
wholesaling a few days ago at 3-16
cents per pound a number of grocers
were selling the product at cents per
pound or at considerable loss. Since
this raise the grocers advanced the
general price to 6 cents.
