TRAIN WRECK IN NEW JERSEY.
An Atlantic City Express strikes OBJ
structions on the Track.

ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. IA desperate
attempt al train wrecking was made On
the meadows back of this city late tonight.
The tracks were obsuucted with railroad
iron and ties, and the 1890 p m express
on the Pennsylvania road from this city
carrying over two hundred passengers was
almost deTailed.
The train for Philadelphia left this city
on time with Conductor Butler in charge
and Engineer +. Willetts at the throttle
The train, which is one of the fastest on
the schedule was rushing across the mea-
dows at the rate Of thirty-liye miles an
hour when as 1t reached a point midway
between the meadow signal tower and
Johnston's, thoroughfare bridge. Engineer
Willetts saw an obstruction on the tracks
ahead. ,Jamming on the air brakes he
made desperate effort TO stop his train,
but the momentum was too great and in
another moment the engine plunged with
great force into a big pile Of railroad ties.
With great jolt the train came TO a
sudden stop. but not until several Of the
heavy timbers on the track had been
thrown some. distance. One of them struck
a signal post. knocking it down and an
other knocked the headlight and smoke
stack OF the engine. The ponderous Ioc-
omotiye. huge Il" engine, rose from the
tracks and mounted the obstruction, only
its immense weight preventing it from be-
ing thrown into a deep ditch beside the
tracks and wrecked.
The train hands at once made an in
vestigation. About fifteen ties. together
with a quantity of railroad iron and Junk
OF all kinds had been piled on the tracks
and wedged together in such a way as to
form an almost solid mass. The impact
Of the heavy train scattered the timbers
right and left. however. A Cincinnati
special which came along almost as soon
as the express had stopped was held up
by some of the wreckage that had been
strewn across the southbound track, and
some time was required to clear this
away and permit The train TO proceed to
this city. Finally the northbound track
was also cleared and the express proceeded
TO Philadelphia. None of the passengers
was seriously injured, but some OF them
we're considerably shaken up by the sud
den stopping of the train, and others were
badly frightened.
The only possible motive for the deed
is robbery the miscTeants expecting to
strip the dead and pick the pockets OF the
living in the excitement. There is no Glow
to the perpetrators. The scene of the at
tempted crime is within n short distance
OF the place where the terrible meadow
wreck occurred FIVE years ago when
foTty-four lives were lost.

AMERICAN RULE DENOUNCED.
Scored Mt n Mass
srs Meeting in Havana.

HAVANA. Aug. 17.-About 1000 persons
attended the mass meeting last night Of
the Democratic Union at the Tacon Thea
tire. The better element was well repre-
sented. The Americans are much sur
prised by an attack upon their admins
tration by Eusebio Hernandez, one of the
speakers. who said that the Americans
did not understand their business. 1t is
claimed this is most ungrateful, especially
coming from the party which wished to
proiong the Intervention so that the island
might enjoy the benefit of law and order,
while good government was being organ
lied. 1t is said that the attack was made
for the purpose Of securing votes. Some
members Of the party claim that Herman
dez did not attack the American nation,
but only some individuals. They also
claim that Cubans who deserve blame
were not spared.
Senior Gown, another speaker, declared
that a federal form of government in
Cuba would be absurd. Cuba was naturally
one whole. If the island were divided into
States, Santiago would have to be delivered
to the negroes, who would turn it into a
second Haiti. The island could not sup
port the expense of a federal form of gov
ernment.
Senor Giberga said that the clause of
the order calling the constitutional con-
vention providing that the relations be-
tween Cuba and the United States should
be settled by the convention should be
stricken out.
He called upon all parties in the island
to protest against the incorporation OF
these relations in the constitution as
provided for by the order, and to refrain
from voting if the clause was not re-
moved. He declared that the island was
not prepared to hold an election.
Moutoro Hernandez also said that the
island was not ready for an election. 1t
was evident from the tone of the speeches
that the party is in no hurry for an cleo
tion. Though the meeting was well at
tended. the strength of the party cannot
be gauged by the number present. 1t is
more than likely that many of those who
were attracted by the speakers.
who have great regulations in Cuba as
orators.

States.

JOY OVER HER RESCUE.
Friends of Miss Mary COndit-Smith
Welcome the Tidings.

The home OF Mrs. Sarah Condit-Smlth
at Lanier Place on First Street northeast
was crowded yesterday with friends who
desired to congratulate her upon the
rescue of her daughter, Miss Mary Condit-
Smith. Miss Condit-Smith was the guest
CT Minister and Mrs. COnger in Pekiu at
the time that the legations were besieged
and all nope OF her safety was long ago
despaired Of The assurance that she had
been rescued was warmly welcomed by
her friends all over the Capital. No ad
vices have yet been received from her.
but Minister ConSer's recent despatch
saying that the only death among the
civilians was that Of the Inglis baby,
seems to make 1t certain that Miss Condit-
Smith has escaped without harm.
Miss ConGit-Smith left here last year
to spend some time with her sister, Mrs.
Key the wife of Lieutenant Key, sta
toned at Tokyo as naval attache of the
American Legations in China and Japan.
Early in tha spring she accepted an in
vtation to spend some time with the Con
gers in Pekin. and she was there when
the attack on the place began. The last
letter received from her was dated on
May 2S, and at that time she was planning
to return at once to Tokyo, although she
had no fear of the Boxer outbreak.
After the reports CT the general massa-
ere on July ! all hope that she might
have escaped seemed lost. and her friends
here had almost resigned themselves 20
the belief that she was lost The mes
sages from Minister COnger revived hope,
and yesterday the press messages giving
accounts of the relief of Pekin made it
seem certain that Miss Condit-Smith has
been saved. 1t is believed that she viii
return home as soon as possible.

Ninety degree weather still prevails in
Washington. The official thermometer did
not get above that temperature yesterday.
Rain, which fell in limited quantities be-
tween the hours of and 2, served to drive
the mercury downward. Immediately after
the cessation of the downfall the tempera-
ture began again to range upward. The
momentum, however, had been lost and
the mercury did not succeed in again pass
ing the ninety-degree bar. which was the
maximum recorded at 1 o'clock. Relief is
still a distant probability. and no hope Of
an immediate falling off in the tempera-
ture is predicted by the weather authori-
ties.
The temperature at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning was 81 degrees by the official
thermometer Of the Weather Bureau. At
noon degrees had been added. At l
o'clock the maximum for the day, 30 de-
grees, was reached, and shortly after
ward rain began to fall. The temperature
also fell. At 2 o'clock shrinkage in the
mercury to So degrees was noted. The
mercury was elastic, however, and at 4

curry was "A degrees.

NOTAPENSION ATTORNEY
/ Young Nan Charged With Viola
ton of the Law.
William Palmer Accused of Practice
ing Nifhout License From the Au-
thoritics-Arrest Said to lie the
Result of n Desire to Make n Test
Case - The Prisoners Statement.

William Palmer, about twenty-six years
of age, was taken into custody and lodged
at the First precinct station last night by
Special Examiner Roome. attached to the
Pension Office Palmer is held for hear
ing today before United States Commits
sioner Mills on a charge of violating the
pension laws. He claims the charge
groundless and expects an early acquittal.
The prisoner resides with his aunt at
1903 E Street northwest. He was arrested
there last night. He was unable to furnish
bond and spent the night at the station.
1t il charged by the pension authorities
that Palmer has violated certain sections
of the law relating to attorneys who prac-
tice before the office. S5rus time ago, it is
said, the accused becan. interested in the
allowance of a pension to George Thomp-
son, colored, resident of Culpeper, Va.
The application had tcen on file for quite
a while, and considerable money in ar
rears was forthcoming when the pension
was allowed. This amoui- was about $700.
An f Street attorney had put the pension
through the regular channels and it was
about to be granted when Palmer heard of
the case.
Through third party. it is claimed,
Palmer made a proposition to have the
pension granted at once, for fee said to
have been $50. This was agreed to by
Thompson. it is stated and Palmer Is al
legged to have taken action leading to the
payment of the pension, amounting
monthly to Sc. and arrears amounting to
nearly S700. OF this money received as
arrears. Palmer is said to have received
his fee of $50. although he admits he is
not pension attorney. Later, it is said.
Palmer divided his fee, giving S25 to
friend from whom he is said to have re-
ceived the information about the matter
A reporter saw Palmer at the station
last night. He denies any violation OF
.he pension laws. He stated that he was
not an attorney. He said he had been
connected with pension firm for several
years and consequently knew the work
ings of the Pension Office. Palmer said
he had not prepared. presented, or prose-
euted the claim for Thompson, but had
merely made a suggestion as to the proper
method of procedure TO secure the allow
ance of the pension. He said he IS con-
fdent of aecuittaI. the charge, he said,
having been drummed up by the Govern
ment as a test case. The prisoner was a
member of the First District Volunteer
Regiment during the war with Spain. He
has brother Clarence Palmer, now a
soldier in the Philippines.
That section of the pension law. II is
stated under which the prosecution is
said TO be based. denies to anyone not a
regular attorney the right TO prepare, pre-
sent. or prosecute any claim for a pension
before the Pension Office

Cars and Sustains Serious Injuries.

J. N. R. King. employed as brakeman
by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. was
caught between two cars while engaged
in making coupling at Trinidad, D. C.,
late last night. He was badly crushed, and
was removed by the police to Providence
Hospital for treatment. His condition.
while serious. is not necessarily regarded
as dangerous. King is forty years cid. He
lives Al 6S5 L Street northeast.
For several years King had been en-
pioyed on the road. Last night he went
with his train to Trinidad. on the out
skirts Of the city. There a stop was
made and a coupling was made to addi-
tiolal cars which had remained on the
siding during the day. King was engag-
cd in making this connection, and is
thought to have slipped and fallen be-
tween the cars. Other trainmen heard him
cry out, and went 10 mis- assistance. He
was found beside the tracks, was picked
up, and brought to the city on a train. AT
the depot the ambulance from the Emer-
geney Hospital met the train. and took

THEIR DEPORTATION ORDERED.
Morescn and Gri,ia, the Italian sus-
poets, TO he Sent Rack.

immigration Commissioner Fitchie was
asked yesterday by Treasury officials to
deport Natalie Moresca and Michael Guida.
the two Italian immigrants detained on
Thursday night on the Kaiser Wilhelm II
by order of Chief wilkie, of the Secret
Service. a
Chief Wilkie said yesterday afternoon
that one OF the men is an ex-convict and
the other of bad character, and that he
thought it advisable to inform the iGmi-
grafton authorities to this effect. Extra
care is being taken by the Secret Service
to look out for Anarchists who are known
and prevent the landing OF any suspected
ones.
They arrived direct from Naples. Italy,
on the Kaiser Wilhelm II Thursday night
The vessel was boarded by W. p. Hazen,
head of the New York Office. under in
structions from Chief Wilkie, of this city.
and the Two men were placed under ar
rest An investigation has since been go
ing on into the history Of the two men.
While nothing has so far been found to
identity them with any secret society of
Italy or as being Anarchists. is has been
found that Mo.esca is an ex-convict.
Secret Service officials are not disposed
to give the greatest credit to the infor
nation that the men intended to attempt
the life OF the President. Such attempts
by foreigners are at least unusual, and the
only thing which could induce one now is
the success of the Italian who killed King
Humbert. This action may have caused
Italians of a criminal bent 10 think over
what they might do in this country.
