Fatal Rcar.end Collision.

RAILWAY, n. j., Dec. 2l.--The north.
bound Washington express on the
Pennsylvania railroad, rushing through
the fog at ITO this morning, crashed
into the rear of Pittsburg train at Co.
lona station, about seven miles west OF
here. Two lives were sacrificed; two
women were dangerously injured, and
Is other passengers, all occupants of
the crushed sleeper Bartholdi, seriously
hurt. The dead are an unidentified
boy, crushed to death in the sleeper,
and the colored porter of the sleeper,
whose head was cut of and body horri.
bly, mangled. The Pittsburg train had
eleven baggage and express cars snd
the sleeper Bartholdi. In the sleeper
were II persons besides the colored por-
ter. 1t was standing at the signal sta
ton waiting for orders to proceed when
the Washington express came booming
along on the same track running forty
miles an hour. The engineer reversed
bis lever and put on the air when he
saw his danger, but too late. The rear
sleeper was telescoped and the interior
torn to pieces. Not soul of the II es.
capped injury. How it was that so few
we're actually killed is one of the won
ders that always accompanies collisions.
The lighter cars in front were piled up
in curious medley, some overturned,
some turned across the tracks and
some standing on end. The locomo
tive which wrought the destruction was
completely dismantled. The baggage
car was overturned and the front end
OF the next car was torn off. The rest
of the train, vestibuled, was not sub
stantislly injured. 1t is thought ali
the injured will recover with the posi-
ole exception Of the two women.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, DEC. 81, 1881

WHEN the naval board OF construc-
ton the other day was considering the
nroposal for raising the Maine by con-
tract objection was made to it by some
Of the members of that board, on the
oround "that secrets might be revealed
if the vessel were brought to the sur
face instead of being destroyed" Hero
it is again. But this objection makes 1t
the more necessary that the vessel
should be raised, SO that all the civil
ICED world may know how she was de-
stroyed. 1t is well-known that the U.
s government refused to allow the
Spanish divers to join its own in ex-
amining the wreck, that the American
officers asked the authorities at Ha'
vsna to let them blow the wreck to
pieces with dynamite, and that the
offer of the Spanish members OF the
Paris commission to submit the matter
to the arbitrament of a disinterest'
ed foreign board of investigation, was
rejected. All this looks bad for the
United States. and now, if the PROPOSE
ton to raise the ship be also rejected,
lest government secrets be revealed, -
the reputation of the United States, al
ready sadly smirched by the unneces-
s,rv and expensive Spanish war, will
be the object of reproachful ridicule
among all the nations of the earth.

One of the most prominent negro lead

the President and the U. S. Supreme

The proposition to help living Con-

not in need of mortal help, as was

chord in the North. In that section
public sentiment, except for its OWL

altogether sentimental. Consequently,
the idea of admitting destitute ex Con

is ridiculed or frowned upon, and even
