Two Killed at a Crossing.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1S.-The Medford
accommodation train of the West Jer-
sey and Seashore Railroad early last
evening struck carriage driven by c..
Holmes and his wife, colored, residents
OF JoTdentowu, and injured them both
to such an extent that they died. Both
occupants of the carriage were driving
across the tracks at Browning's lane,
Just outside of the limits OF Camden,
when they were nit by an inbound
train. The singular part of the acct.
dent is hat any one driving team can
see an approaching train for fully half
mile either way. The woman was
killed outright, while her husband
reathed his last as he was being car.
ried into the Cooper Hospital. The
horse was also killed and the carriage
demolished.

Anti.Tr,,st ConGercnce,

St. Louis, Sept lS.-Delegates to the
antitrust conference, which copvenes
Wednesday morning, are beginning to
arrive. The conference will differ
widely from that held in Chicago last
week. Its membership, for one thing,
will be more exclusive, none but
Governors and Attorneys General being
invited to take part in the deliberations
although any strong advocate or oppo-
nent of trusts who desires to address the
conference will probably be allowed 10
do so. The Chicago conference was
purely theoretical gathering, the object
in view being to present the question
to the public, while the object Of the
St. Louis conference will be to agree
upon plan for dealing with the trusts
by State legislation. Governor Sayefs,
OF Texas, who called the meeting, is
expected to arrive and as soon as he ar
rives the detailed arrangements will be
made.

which they had been employed by
white men to do. The former case
was denounced throughout the North

If that be so, then what must be the

OF the Empresss recent illness threat

She caught cold while in delicate con-

the Kaiser far above political conditions
over which he was alleged to be in a
rage. The Empress mas never been
strong since the opening of the Kiel Ca
