GATES WERE UP.
But the Train Was There and a Collision
Resulted.

Through what appears to be the care
.Iessness of the gatekeeper at the Graf
ton street crossing, an accident oc-
Cured which came near resulting in
loss Of life. The rear end Of an empty
freight train collded with trolley car
of the Consolidated Street Railway,
staving in part of one side and dam
aging the rear platform. Had the five
passengers not been IN the forward end
of the car at the time of the shock. the
result might have been more serious.
Luckily the freight train was being
backed up slowly and the passengers
had time to change their positions in
the car before the crash.
The blame for the accident seems to
lie with the gateman if the statements
of the conductor and motorman are
correct. They say that the gates at
Olmstead, mOtorman of the car, seeing
the gates up, naturally supposed that
the way was free and ran ahead The
locomotive engineer was unable to see
the trolley, as he was at the other end
of the train. Olmstead saw the cars
backing down upon him a few seconds
before the collision, and by going
ahead at full speed, was able to get
the greater part of his car out of harms
way.
Before crossing the cracks the car had
been stopped and Conductor William
Burns had run forward and looked up
and down the tracks. He saw nothing
moving at the time, and says he thinks
the engine must have started up, as
he was walking back to the ear.
There We're five passengers in the
car at the time Of the shock, three
women and two men. The women were
badly frightened and screamed out in
their fright. When they saw that their
lives We're spared, they hurried out of
the demolished car and disappeared

Deserted and
Starving
IN ICE COLD HOUSE,
A Webster Family Discov-
cred in Nick of Time.

Webster Dec 16.--One Of the worst
cases of restitution ever disclosed in
town has been brought to the atten-
ton of the board Of overseers Of the
poor. 1t is a case caused by the deser-
ton of d husband and father
The unfortunate woman, Mrs. Eliza
beth Key, aged 80 years, for the past
few years has lived with her husband
in the stone block on River street
North Webster, and the man who was
husband only in name worked part of
the time at the cotton mills in the vii
lage. When he did not go on a drunk
he would bring home the money he
earned but that was seldom.
Last Wednesday, after weeks spree
the husband took his few belongings
and decamped, leaving his wife and
child penniless. To make the case more
deplOrable, the wife and mother was
unable to leave her bed to secure sue
cor, and though poor was too proud to
send for aid and had resolved to die.
There was no fuel in the house and
the woman was well nigh frozen 70
death when discovered today.
residing in other sections of the block
missed her Yesterday, hearing the
means Of the sick woman and the cry
ings of the child, they resolved to find
out what the trouble was, and accord
ingly the family that lived overhead
broke in the door and then the terrible
truth dawned upon them.
Word was at once dispatched to
Chairman Fred H. Berger of the over
seers of the poor, and he and the other
members of the board at once COM
menced an investigation.
In the meantime the tenants were
making it as comfortable as could be
under the circumstances, but the
woman would not be consOled and
when the oVerseers arrived they found
her nearly nude in bed, and half dead
from the intense cold.
The board procured coal, wood and
various eatables and a physician. DR.
]. J. Thompson rendered every service
| possible and the indications now are
that the woman will recover. The case
will be investigated to the bottom, and

COMING CONFERENCE.
Marlboro Manufacturers viii Listen TO
CIergvmenIs Proposition.

Marlboro, Dec. 1.-THE meeting of
the clergymen and members of the
joint council held last evening, in re-
gard to a settlement of the labor trout
BILE, as printed in The Spy this morn
ing. was the sole topic of discussion to-
day. Tt may be of interest to state at
this point that prior to the meeting the
clergy had a consultation and agreed
upon d line Of policy. When the clergy
and union men came together, Rev. L.
B. Lowney, pastor Of the Immaculate
Conception Church, gave his views on
the situation, and the ministers fol-
lowed.
The ciergymen agreed in hoping that
the strike would be settled as soon as
possible, and that the strikers would
return to work. A person who has
every means of knowing, said that Rev.
FIR Lowney suggested that commit
tee from the Joint council be appoint
ed to wait on the manufacturers and
submit a proposition, that the work
men return to their factories on the
conditions that the unions be repre-
scented by committees instead OF by
agents, as at present.
The council considered the matter in
q favorable light and tonight appoint
ed a committee to have a conference
with the manufacturers. By many,
this was thought to be a move tow
ards a settlement. The manufacturers,
it is claimed, objected strongly to the
agent system, and this proposition
would remove one of the great OBJ
stacles to harmony between the two
parties, and at the same time keep the
unions intact.
A superintendent of q shoe factory
was seen this evening by Spy re-
,,o-ta,. oy16 if fba action of the
