coroner's jury at Aberdeen last night, In
quiring into the killing of j. Frank Jonel
I OF Havre do Grace. and James w. Collins
| of Philadelphia; at OsEorn's Crossing
agreed on verdict, exonerating the rail-
road company from blame. The jury al
the sam time recommend thas the Phila.
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail-
Company have proper protection at the
crossing by erecting gates.
Il. w. Bonnett, of Aberdeen, acted as
coroner, and tho jury was composed Of the
following persons: a. f. Brown. foreman j;
John Strong. Charles B. Osborn, A. E.
Brown, Jr., J. A. Fletcher, Thomas Hip
kins. H. J. Poplar, John Einkernagle.
George l.. Hipkins, A. II. Moore, Harry
l.. Fletcher and Henry Tarring.
The principal witnesses examined were
the employees of the railroad company,
who wero the only persons close at hand
at the time Some men who were work.
ing III a field at some distance were observ-
ers Of the casualty, and while their testi.
mony was to the effect that thoy did not
see the watchmAn at the crossing they
were not prepared to swear positively that
he was not there.
Francis Il. Bowler, engineer Of tho train
and Fl. Swan, fireman, both of Washing
ton. ID. G., testified that Watchman Spath
was on luty and endeavored to prevent
the uDfortunates from crossing ahead Of
the train.
The testimony of Daniel Spath. the
Watchman. and his wife, who wero near
the scene, was to tho same effect.
Mr.. Jones' mock was broken, and the
death Of Mr., Collins was almost instan-
taneous lie was not 50 severely mutilat.
ed by tho train as Mr.. Jones was, however.
His son, Mr.. Charles W. Collins, says that
the crossing where the accident happened
Is near a large embankment, which may
have made 1t impossible for the occupants
of tho carriage to see the approaching
train. Tho hind part of the carriage was
hit and tho horse was uniDjured.
Although Mr.. Collins has been engaged
in the canned goods brokerage for many
years, his manipulations during the past
year have been far more important than
over before, and earned for him the title
of ''l'he Tomato King" There IL no man
In the country who dealt 80 heavily in
canned tomatoes as he, and the story of his |
dealings indicates thst his buying was
based on rare judgment. His holdings
Turing the past six months are said to be
m UGH larger than those of any other
broker in the country.

SPAIN'S WRECKED SHIPS
Captain Sigsbee Talks of the Marie Teresa,
the Almirante Oquendo and the
CristObal Colon.

New York, July 23.--The United States
cruiser ST. Paul, Captain Sigsbee. which
arrived here yesterday. left Siboney on
the morning Of the 18th, with Lieuten-
ant Hobson on board, with dispatches
Captain Sgsbee said he did not know
what he was here for beyond bringing
Mr.. Hobscn. He did not know how long
he would be here.
captain Sigsb7e said he had been on
board the wrecks of the Maria Teresa
and Almirante Oquendo He had seen
these warships In Havana harbor In all
the glory of their strength and the
beautiful carved woodwork of their in
terror finish. The change made in them
was APPALLING. Not sign of wood was
lett anywhere, and the shining metal
which had given them such a look of
massive strength was broken and
twisted into nothing better than Junk
iron. The Amirante Oquendo was
much the worse looking wreck, and
she was broken in two on the rocks.
The Maria Teresa had one turret badly
wrecked, but another looked as IL it
had not been touched and the guns in
1t looked as effective as ever they did.
In one Of the turrets that was locked
down into the bodies Of several officers
could be seen, and a diamond ring
was seen on the finger of one of them
A slight smoke was still curling up
from the interior of the Teresa
The wreckers were alongside Of the
Teresa while he WIS there, and 1t seem
ed there would be no doubt of saving
her. From what he had heard he
thought the same of the Rena Merce-
des. which, he said, was of 5000 tons,
equal to the Alfonso XII, at Havana,
and to the largest of the ships of the
fleet destroyed by Dewey. She was
modern and he believed
could be made a valuable acquisition
to the navy. 1t was believed, too, that
the Cristobal Colon would be saved
though 1t would cost considerable to
get her up on even keel again.

AID TO WOUNDED.
Comrades Of Those Who Fall Taught to
Give the First Help.

Comrades of Those Who Fall Taught to
Give the First Help.
1t is not known generally that the men
at tho guns of an American warship are
provided by tho navy surgeons with ap-
pliances for quickly ministering to the
needs Of their wounded comrades during
the progress Of fight. There Is a supply
of rubber bandages and dressings near
each of the big guns, and the crew Is told
just what to do for an injured man before
1t Is possible for the doctors to attend to
him. The important thing is to stay the
loss Of blood, which is the cause of at
least three -fourths of the deaths In battle.
As soon as man falls one Of his COM
rades runs to his aid. If he Is wounded in
the leg, tho leg Is quickly bound with rub.
ber tubing In such way as to stop the.
hemorrhage, II possible, and antiseptio
dressings are applied according to the in.
structions already given by the surgeons
The injured leg Is then bound to the un-
injured one for protection and support,
and the man Is dragged to place Of safe
ty. Then his colnreGe, who has acted as
surgeon for the time being, rushes back to
his place by the gun.
In the most protected places on the ship
dressing stations are established. In this
way the wounded can be more quickly at
tended to than was possible in the old
days, when they had to be carried to the
sick bay before receiving the first assist
ance. There is q male nurse assigned to
each of the doctors. This nurse carries
dressings and other things necessary for |
immediate Use and assists the doctor In |
NNya1r l,,k-
be anything from binding up a wound to |
giving hypoderlnic injection Of morphine
to ease some poor fellow sufferings.
In modern naval battle most wounds
are caused by fragments of bursting shells.
Such wounds are said by SO competent an
authority as Surgeon General Stevenson
to bs generally less dangerous to life than
those produced by the ordinary small bore
bullets on tho field Of battle They arc
often superficial rather than deep, though
the flesh Is generally much bruised and
torn. In tho case of wounds from frag-
monts of sholl there is much danger from
the lodgment Of foreign substances, bits
of the projectile itself, shreds Of clothing,
etc., often bein~ deeply imbpdded in the
flesh. These must be removed carefully or
they will cause serious trouble The cloth
ing Immediately over the wound is always
examined to SEQ If any part of
1t is missing, which has probably been
carried into the flesh
Tho men at the guns are carefully in
structed to avoid touching wounds with
their hands smeared, as they must be,
With powder and grease 1t Is not until
Tho guns arc silent that the surgeons real ]
work begins. The most urgent cases, such ,
As those Of henorrhage, arc always taken
1rst, the question being how to save as
many lives us possible. Whisky and other
tiinulnnts are given to those who are suf-
ering from shock. and wounds are covered
With pads OF gauze wrung out In sntsep-
10 solution until such time as their treat
ncnt can DO undertaken In detail. New
