THE soMERv1LLE Acc1DEN 7.

Somerville, Mass, February --8.-Be-
tween 80 and 40 persons were more orsless
injured, one perhaps fatally, two cars
were we'll smashed and locomotive
was ruined as the result of rear end col
lision at the Winter Hill station of the
Boston & Maine railroad about 7.22
O'Clock this morning. That the accident
was not more disastrous is little short
of miracle as the two trains wernorDwd-
ed. The storm was, in measure, re-
sponsible for the accident, as none Of the
signals on the road was working, but
there seems to have been also confusion
on the part of the train officials. =
The train which was standing at the
staion, was local one, while the collid-
ing train was from Concord. Mass. and
running express to Bosotn. The Concord
train had not attained full speed when
the accident occurred, which undoubted-
ly accounts for the absence Of any loss
of life.
Both the rear car of the Stoneham
train and the front one of the Concord
train were telescoped, while the Others
of both trains were we'll shaken up.
All the injuries seemed to be confined
to broken limbs and bad cuts, although
G. W. Rugg Of this city, is believe to be
internally injured and may die.

holders were located in New York and
Connecticut He said CRADLES actions
could in no way involve the company,
which was now proceeding with its
| affairs.
One of the directors made the following
statement, which was approved by Pres1-
| dent Pattison;
"Mr Cradle acted only as promoter
of our company and since last September
be has had no connection with 1t what
ever. Shortly before chat the company
purchased 200 claims held by him for
stock valued at 81 500, 600, but since tne9 3
all OF the stock has been purchased, and
the company can in no way be in
volyed.
"For years Cradle was interested in
number of building and mining enter.
prises which have from time to time paid
the investors holding the shares dividends
as nigh IS 63 per ocent.
"He formed the EGgemont company,
o land and building concern and was also
| interested in tract of 16, 600 acres at
! Fort Collins, Colo. He had an irrigating
| plant there and some enterprises in South
| Dakota and Nebraska. A number of year
| ago he was connected with the Chicago,
| Burlington & Quincy Railroad company
and was engaged in locating town sites in
northwestern South Dakota and southern
Nebraska and located over 500 town
sites.
"He came to this city strongly recon-
mended by bankers, merchants and bust
ness men throughout the West and also
by many in the East. No ope invested in
his schemes blindly. All of the lnYSators
who became interested visited the proper
ty and made thorough inspection of if.
All who were interested pronounced in
it's favor, and there is no reason for
change of mind. He did not exaggerat
the advantages and we are therefore sur
prised over the stories which have reen
published concering him. Before the
Edgemont and Union Hill Smelling com
pany was organized we had experts visit
the locality and they reported in its
favor.
'tIt is the general opinion here that Mr..
CRADLES troubles have been caused by
the fact that he has over-extended his
capital in the many enterprises in which
he was interested. We are now building
smelters and as soon as they are complete
we will go ahead"
Geo. A. Fletcher, one of the directors
of the Edgemont and Union Hill COM
pany today obtained writ Of attach
ment for $250,000. J. Wesley Supple of
the corn exchange bank and John Fl.
Graham, were named as the garnishees.
Bail was fixed at $4,000.

Baltimore. February 3.-The annua
banquet of the Merchants and Manufact
urers' association held here tonight, wa,
one of the most notable affairs OF the
kind ever given in Baltimore. The prin
cipal toasts were: sThe relation Of
business to government finances" re-
sponse by Secretary of the Treasury Gage,
who was the chief speaker; tThe postal
service and its relation to commerce, y
response by Postmaster General Gary
"Our industrial and business future,
response by Congressman Nelson Ding
ley;" "Cuba," response by Congressman
John NJ. Allen; Woman" response by
Congressman Jos. H. Walker. There
were nearly 200 covers and the menu was
an elaborate one.
Secretary Gage, in part, said:
The theory OF which our government
rests is the ability of man to work out
his own destiny. Protect him from un-
just aggression In his common rights
from enemies at home. from foes without;
do for the whole body of the state what
the individual initiative could not Sc
cure, and leave men free to work out,
through the paths of industry and enter
prise, their own individual salvation
this 1 understand to be the spirit and
essence of our American political insti-
tutions. Whenever, therefore. the state
takes over to itself functions alien to Its
own nature; whenever 1t interferes, un-
less to secure general equity and justice,
" ith those operations which men in their
free relations with each other will de-
yelop and carry forward, thers is injected
into the field of industrial activities and
commercial exchange the injurious influ-
ence of a body foreign to these activities.
1t is just complaint against govern
ment issues of money that. though obedi-
ent to the legislative will, it is neverthe-
less not in harmony with higher economic
law which blesses the obedient and pun
ishes all violations, whether the viola
tion be wilful or through Ignorance. A
true credit instrument, truthfully evinc-
yet still exists in fact-even ii trans
formed in shape and substance, such an
instrument is clothed with the quality
of legitimacy. Ii the fact be otherwise,
if the value passed has been consumed,
destroyed or lost, the credit instrument
itself becomes commercial interloper,
a misleading token; nor can kings, en-
perors or senate change the fact.
Our own legal tender notes, dear as
they are to the patriotic heart, serviceable
as they are in great crisis, are yet out
of accord with TIE true economic law. The
value for which they were originally
issued was Immediately consumed or de-
stroyed. AS now reissued, they are evil
dences of value already consumed by
the issuer, or of seryice already past.
These notes operating In the commercial
field, thus differentiated from the true
credit instruments which commerce can
create, must somewhere work injury,
even if we cannot distinctively point it
ont. In my opinion it is here that the
business receives an injury general and
wide reaching. through it's forced rela-
tions to government paper money.

MAY CAUSE STAMPEDE.

New Bedford, Mass, February 3.-The
principal talk of the day here in the strike
situation is the difference that has arisen
between the union and the non-union
operatives. This difference promises to
end an open rupture and las many cases
would take the first chance to make o
break from the strikers and return to
work. These non-unionists claim that
money collected outside the union has
been paid to union operatives to the ex-
clusion of the non-union help. But the
disaffection has become sufficiently wide
spread to cause a feeling of uneasiness
and fears are expressed that unless some
measure is taken right away the nom
unionists will make trouble which may
cause a stampede TO the mills.

Berlin, February 3.-It is announced
that the Bundesrath Federal counciD in

committees proposal that a decree
should be issued prohibiting the impor-

The announcement appears to indi-

issued Tuesday by the Prussian minister
of finance, prohibiting the Importation
of every kind of American fresh fruits.

Philadelphia, Pa, February 3.-The
gentlemen in this city who are interested
in some of the mining enterprises which
were promoted by Francis Cradle, the
man who, it is charged, obtained loans
of nearly $500, 600 from Cashier Quinlan
of the Chemical National bank of New

interest now in Cradle or his doings. Ex-

Bos on, February 3.-Matthew w.
Ryan, 90 years old, an employe in the
post office, was taken into custody this
afternoon on the charge of robbing the
mails. Ryan's home in Roxbury was
searched .and many articles of jewelry
and large number of books were found.
He stoutly denied when first questioned
after his arrest, that he had been pilfer-
ing, but later he broke down and con-
fessed. His method was to draw line
through the address on packages and
place his own name and address on the
bundle, after which he would put it back
into the mails. By this means he acoumu-
lated large amount of jewelry and many
books, nue., of which he sold.
