Mr. Iselin stated today that the work
on the old boat was nearly completed,
and that she would be moved from
the Herreshon works in time to allow
the builders to pour the keel of the new

to make any statement regarding the

He said he was satisfied with the old

trouble until after she had won the

Committee Appoint
ments Well Received.
A CAUCUS TODAY.
No Deposition to Nominal
ton Of Lodge Heard.
Especial Dispatch to The spy

Boston, Jan. Sit was expected this
morning that there would be lively
session of the legislature today, owing
to the disposition to make the judiciary
Committee joint body, and some mem
bers Of the House had their oratory all
in trim Cor the fray.
But compromise was arrived at be-
fore the session, and the battle was
of. Instead Of the judiciary being
made Joint body, the presiding Off
GERS in both Senate and House will re-
fer matters to it as joint body at their
discretion, which will probably not be
often.
It was claimed that the plan of MAX
ing it a Joint body would tend to ex-
pedite business before the committee,
but this argument did not carry much
weight when the record of the Senate
Judiciary for the last few years was
brought to mind
The committee appointments were
announced today, and were received
with less dissatisfaction than usual.
Central and western Massachusetts
Jared fairly we'll Washburn of Wor-
cester and Kennefick of HamDden go
on the Judiciary on the part of the Sem
ate and Stone of Springfield Johnson
OF Worcester, Turtle of Pittsfeld, Da-
yenpDrt OF Greenfield, and Feiker of
Northampton, on the part of the House.
Senator Parsons goes on ways and
means, and so do Mellen Of Worcester
and Folsom of Springfield.
Senator Kennefick of Palmer is on the
Senate Committee on rules In the
Horse, Stone of Springfield and Mellen
OF WOrcester are on this committee.
Mr.. Mellen is also back in his old place
as a monitor.
On the whole. there is less heartburn
ing than usual over the committee
make-ups. The new members are fair
ly we'll satisfied, even if they did not
get just the committee they asked for,
and he older ones got as general
thing What they wanted.
Tomorrcw, after the session, a joint
cancnS OF both branches will be held to
nominate candidate for United States

Senator Lodge is anticipated.

arms. but before he saw me, the en-
gineer of the local saw what he was
up against. People were sticking their
heads out of the windows, the engineers
and firemen jumped; they banged into
each other, and the local climbed up
over the other as if she was going
right on. then she turned clean over
and came down on her snlokestack. 1t
was an awful crash. Then the other
passengers and trainmen came running
up. The people that were not dead
in the smoking car that had the tender
jumped into it, yelled like fury The
women screamed that they were being
scalded. The first one we pulled out
was man. He was dead, with some
body's leg caught tight in his arms.
Next came a woman with blood all over
her, but she seemed alive, so l took the
blanket off my horse that had stood
there all the time, and put it over
her"
From DunneIlen, Bound Brook and
the other places, doctors were quickly
summoned. They came over the Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey, whose
tracks run parallel with the Lehigh at
this point, about 400 yards distant. Re-
lief and wreeking trains were quickly
OH hand.
The loss of life inflicted upon his
train would probably have been moth
ing like what 1t was had it not been
for the fact that at Mauch Chunk tho
baggage car of the excursion train was
found to have hot box and was TAX
en- off, thus leaving the crowded day
coach next to the engine. If this
coach had retained the position it held
when the train left Shamokin, probab-
ly only a few lives would have been
lost.
Engineer Rick of the local, was found
on the tracks so badly injured chat
there is little hope of his recovery. De-
spite the blood that flowed from his
mouth, Rick managed TO say, Some
one gave wrong orders. / know how
it happened, but 1 can't speak now"
In this connection, w. o. Sprigg, the
superintendent of the Eastern and Am
boy division of the Lehigh Valley, said:
THE accident is evidently dus TO o
blundeY in orders"
Gen. Passenger Agent Lee had no
explanation to make On this section
Of the Lehigh Valley the block system
is not in use. The train dispatcher
at Easton, who has charge OF the ter
ritory, It's said to have wired to the
operator at South Plainfield to let No.
II, the local, oorRe through, but later
there came a message from Easton to
hold all westbound traffic 1t is alleged
that the latter message was overlooked
Some say it was not handed 20 the
operator, but whichever it was the
westbound train was allowed on its
track and from everything that could
be learned, the collision was plainly
due to a mistake in orders and no neg
Agence of the train crews.

PARIS IN 1900.
Gen. Peck Banqueted at
Algonquin Club, Boston.

Boston, Jan. 9.-!The Massachusetts,
Paris exposition commission gave a
banquet tonight to Commissioner Peck
at the Algonquin Club and listened to
an interesting address on the coming
exposition in Paris in 1900
Gov. Wolcott and Mayor Quincy were
also present, and made short speeches,
urging the representation of Massa-
chusetts industries to make creditable
exhibits.
After expressing his appreciation of
the honor rendered him, Gen. Peck, in
speaking for the commission said 1--WE
fully recognize the important part thar
belongs to New England in orr repre-
sentation at Paris, aud realize that this
region was not only the cradle for man
ufactures on the American continent,
but is today the conspicuous home of
this field of human industry. We con-
template selecting from your midst the
head of the important department of
textiles and other members Of our
staff yet to be appointed.
I'VE also rejoice that your own state
of massachusetts, has already made an
appropriation and appointed d commits
sion to cooperate in our great work
and that your neighboring state of
Rhode Island and many others expect
to follow your lead.
we have succeeded in increasing
our exhibit areas nearly so per cent
since the act of congress making the
present appropriation became a law;
and we ROW appeal to you, and through
you to all New England, for your po-
tential support in securing the needed
additional sum.
This is period of national expan-
sion. In the recent strife with q for
eign power, we have successfully
fought for humanity. The booming
Of the guns of Admiral Dewey at Ma
Mia has Numbered around the earth
and awakened all civilization to the
fact that the great American republic
now reaches across the globe; and the
nation Of the new century is rising on
this side of the Atlantic.
Therefore. the approaching peace
festival in France is most opportune,
enabling, as it WILL our manufacturers
and producers to place the resources
and wares of our nation before the co.
600 900 of visitors representing the peo-
pies Of the earth. Thus will our COM
mercial interests keep step with our
geographical expansion, and thus will

lie be represented to humanity for the
United States has contributed more in
men, in thought and in achievements
III the progress Of the 18th century, far
more than any other nation of the
world.

taken up. and Mr.. Caffery of Louisiana
continued his speech IN opposition to
it. Mr.. Caffery, in reply to Mr.. Chill
ton of Texas, said that he did hot want
an isthmian canal constructed Jointly
by the United States and Great Britain,
but that he believed the Clayton-Bul
wer treaty to be in as complete force
now as when it was first negotiated.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Caffery's
speech, Mr.. Morgan of Alabama, in
charge of the bill, made an effort to
fix the time for beginning to vote upon
the measure and the pending amend
ments. He suggested that the time be
3 p. m. on the 18th instant, but MIR.
Gallery objected. Mr.. Morgan then
gave notice that tomorrow, If no ar
rangement could be made for a vote,
he would ask the friends of the meas
ure to stand with him until it was
passed. Mr.. Teller or Colorado said
that he would like to know how the
money for the construct IN or the canal
was to be raised Mr.. Morgan said
he would answer the question before
a vote upon the measure was taken.
The Senate then, at 4 As, went into e4-
ecutive session, and at Abs adjourned.

LARGER FIELD.
Compressed Air PeopleDeal-
ing With Big Railroads.

Lawyer Henry w. King of this city,
counsel for the American Wheelock
Engine Company, and who has been
the legal adviser in the recent nego-
tiations involving the control of the
now famous air motor for traffic and
for transportation, was in New York
yesterday, perfecting the final plans
by which the product of the American
Wheelock Engine Company of this city
and the Rhode Island Locomotive Com
pany is to be placed before the world.
The Metropolitan Traction Company
has adopted the air motor on its cross
town lines, and the New York Auto
truck Company, with its capitalization
of millions, has made the order in
Worcester for 500 auto-trucks for the
trucking of New York. and now comes
the announcement that the great rail-
roadroad companies of the east are
seriously considering the use of the air
motor on the engines of their branch
lines.
The New York Central is making a
trial test of this method, and the great
Pennsylvania railroad now comes for
ward and is going to make the trial
on some of it's shorter lines in the
Keystone State. With the test sue
cessful, the result with contracts of
the Pennsylvania road and the New
York Central means further develop
ments in the scope of the air motor.
The New York auto-truck Company
is already outlining the scheme for the
bidding for the trucking contract of the
Pennsylvania railroad. at the present
time this road pays 100000 month for
its trucking, and with the auto truck
in use, as is now assured In New York,
the New York auto-truck will be able
to underbid all competitors
The same plans are already being laid
for the contract work in trucking for
the great American express lines, so
that the latest developments in the air
motor threaten to revolutionize the
carrying and transportation systems.

PRIOR
And Burton Easy
Winners.
CLOSE CONTESTS
Are Quickly Settled in Joint
Convention.

Disappointment of the keenest ma
ture was the feeling OF everybody after
the meeting of the city council last eve
ming. A glorious fight was looked for.
1t petered out and everything went
along smoothly, and there was disap-
pointmeAt
w. S. Prior was elected street COM
missioner on the first ballot In joint
convention. Arthur II. Burton was
elected assessor on the third ballot in
joint convention each receiving a hand
some majority.
There were no trades to get either
candidate. The democrats cut no fig
ure in one contest. but in the other they
commanded the election. They were
against Prior, but no republican can
didate drew any strength from his
party, and Prior got almost a full par
ty vote One democrat voted with
him
The supporters Of William E. Lewis

where the election OF assessor was first
In order, the question being on concur
renee with the board of aldermen in
the election Of Lewis, the friends OF
the latter voted for Burton in order
to bring about a joint convention. The
democrats had their cards up their
sleeve. On the third ballot in joint
convention they Joined with Burton
forces and gave him a good majority.
The members of the city council at
tended the meeting prepared to stay
until midnight. Many feared there
would be no choice OF assessor of the
Two republican candidates who made
the running week ago. Opponents OF
Prior had hopes that he could not get
a majority But all HAD another chance
to guess.
The crowd was badly disappointed.
They wanted to see q stiff contest. The
quickness with which the elections
were contaminated took away their
breath. They didn't know whether to
be pleased or not.
Street Commissioner Prior owed the
size Of his vote to the Withdrawal Of
L. b. Stone, who showed more votes
than ne did a week ago, and to the an
nouncement at last eR,nings meeting
from ex-A1deTTHan Charles n Hildreth
that under no circumstances was he to
be considered candidate. Frank L.
Allen, WAC was announced as candi-
date, had only a. single supporter.
A. I'll. Burton owed his election to the
support Of the democrats. They held a
caucus during a recess OF the council
and. recognizing that they could noe
force their man in deci!sd to vote for
Burton
On account Of the elections and tho
fear that they would occupy much
time, the calender was a small one ana
was quickly finished. No business of
Importance came before the council

MAINE DEMOCRAT S.
They Talk about Expansion, But Silver Is
Not Mentioned.

MOI MentOned
Portland, Me-, Jan. 9.-The first an
nual banquet of the Democratic Club
of Maine occurred at the Preble House
tonight.
The speakers were Henry w. Lamb
of Boston, George Mcneil. ex-Gov.
Alonzo Garcelon of Lewiston and M. p.
Frank of Portland. The speakers de-
voted themselves entirely to the ques-
ton Of expansion, arguing against the
policy Of dhe administration. Silver
was not mentioned during the evening.
Letters of regret were read from Col.
w j. Bryan ex-President Cleveland
ex-senator David B. Hill and others.
Col. Bryan in his letter said: Il re-
gret that other engagements will pre-
vent an acceptance Of your invitation
to celebrate Jackson's day with your
club. Am gratifed to note the increas-
ing interest felt by the people Of the
northeast in democratic principles as
set forth in the platform adopted at
Chicago in 1885,
"Our party has been redeemed from
the control of the money changers and
is only more in line with the teachings
Of Jefferson and Jackson, while the re-
publican party is becoming more and
more the defender Of corporate greed
and the tool OF monopoly. In its es-
pousal of colonial policy, the repub-
lican party simply gives open evidence
of its growing tendency to place the
dollar above the man in the structure
of society.
"Our lives are formed from ideals.
Democrats are trying to initiate JEFF
ferson in his doctrine of equality be-
fore the Law, and Jackson in his cotr-
ageous defense Of the rights OF the
masses.
"The republicans arc turning from
Lincoln's idea Of q government OF the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie, to Eanilton's idea al q govern
ment by the well-born, administered
for the exclusive benefit OF those who
enjoy special privileges"
