Work on the New Government Print

The work on the new government print

as the weather will permit. The entire
foundation, it is expected, will be completed
by next January. and the progress of the
work so far indicates that Lieut.. Sewells

CUMBERLAND. Md, November 23.-The
second section of Baltimore and Ohio pas
senger train No. o, westbound, known
the oyster train crashed into the first sec
ton in South Cumberland early this morn
ing and was badly wrecked.
Engineer L. R Kindle of Baltimore stuck
10 his post on the second section, checking
its speed and preventing the telescoping of
the passenger section. He was seriously
injured and may die. His fireman Lewis
Massey of Baltimore. was terribly scalded
and died in the hospital here. No one else
was dangerously hurt. The rear sleeper of
the passenger section was wrecked and
burned
The accident occurred shortly alter 1
o'clock in the morning, and It is thought
it was caused by the failure of the fiagman
on the passenger section to go far enough
back when the train stopped at a switch.
The passengers in the Pullman car Rival -
which was on the rear end OF the train,
were badly shaken up and frightened.
Among them We're John Robinson of New
York. Mrs Z. W. Uphouse of lockwood,
Pa and the Rev. \. Hodgetts of Grand

of them also lost their effects. which could
not be removed from the burning sleeper.
They were all brought to this city, and
after receiving medical attention were able
to proceed on their journey. Conductor
Green and Porter Seals of the passenger
train, together with Mail Clerk Reagan,
were also slightly injured.

NOT YET IDENTIFIED.
The Bones of John Paul Jones Have
Not Been Discovered.

No action has been taken by the State
Department for the transportation of the
remains of John Paul Jones from Paris to
the United States for the simple reason
that the location and identification Of the
remains are as much mystery as ever.
Every effort has been made by the officers
of the United States government in Paris
to locate the burial place of the great naval
hero, but so far without success. All
that is absolutely known on the subject is
that the remains were inferred in Paris,
and that they were removed from their
original place of interment to make way
for the steady march Of improvements.
recent investigation prosecuted by pri-
vate individuals showed pretty conclusively
that his grave has been successivey in a
stable yard, hay market. and in all aban-
doned Presbyterian cemetery, now occupied
by frame dwelling houses of the poorest
description.
The site of this cemetery, to which the
bones of Commodore Jones were finally
traced, has been clearly established but
that is as far as the investigator has pro-
ceeded. Whether the remains of the revo-
lutionary sailor are buried beneath the
buildings now occupying that site, and even
if that fact can be established, whether
they can be distinguished from the bones
of others also inferred there are questions
that may probably never be determined

Why 1t is Desired to Keep SchIey's
SHundrOn From South Africa.

1t is said at the Navy Department that
the disinclination of the department to
order Rear Admiral Schley to South Africa
has no connection whatever with the per
sCnality of that officer. Whoever command
ed the South Atlantic squadron al this junc-
ture would receive, it is said similar in
s;ruct0ns, for 1t is regarded as a matter
of national policy to refrain from sending
warships to either the Cape or to Delagoa
bay or Durham. 1t is felt to be unwise for
the United States to initiate the sending of
warships to South Africa now There can
be little doubt that such action on our part
would instantly be followed by the naval
powers of the continent, and French, Rus
sian and German fleets would follow each
other there, to the complication of the situ-
alton.
It is not to be learned that this attitude
of our government has been assumed as the
result of any representations from the Brit
ish government
Secretary Long said. in answer to queS
ton, that the orders given Admiral Schley
did not differ from those which would have
been given any other officer detailed TO the
same command. The Secretary said that
Admiral SchIey could be reached at any
time 1t might be desired to direct him u
the scene of the Boer-British war.
