YOUNG LADIES' SOCIAL CLUB.

Some time ago the Rev. Father Meehan,
pastor of All Saints Church in Lafayette
organized a young ladies' social club for
the young women of his parish. The So
ciety has developed into a fine organiza-
tion composed of most of the Catholic
young ladies of Lafayette. Just now they
hold their meetings in the large assem-
bly, room of All Saints School building,
but it is their intention to furnish suit
of parlors for their benefit in the near fu-
ture. Every Tuesday evening they give
some sort of entertainment, to which they
invite their young friends and which ter

Clock Golf.

A newly invented diversion for women,
especially for ''out of door, girls, is
known as "Clock Golf" 1t is supposed
for the sake of argument, that the tee is
the centre of clock face. Twelve put
ting holes are arranged around it to rep
resent the hour marks. These are spaced
at no great distance, bue sufficiently far
apart so as not to interfere with the
movements of the contestants in the putt
ting matches.
There is no reason why men should not
play "Clock Golf" The reason that woni-
en- like it is that the audience assembled
to watch the contest may be seated. and
enjoy the affair at the very door of tho
golf club house, instead Of travelling as a
gallery along the golf links, over the
hills and far away
Feminine golfers are always fond Of put
ting matches. as they usually excel in
this way rather than in driving.
A small prize is usually offered to the
winner in match of clock golf.

NEW TRIAL FOR HOTTER.
Man Convicted Of Oilers Theft to
Ee Tried Agasn.

Judge Blair on Saturday granted
Lawyer Alex. G. Young's motion for a
new trial for John Hotter, the Wee
hawken man recently sentenced to two
years in State Prison on his conviction
for stealing copper wire belonging to the
North Hudson Electric Light Company.
After Holter,,s conviction a letter written
by a man named Ruff gave Prosecutor
Erwin Information that led to the belief
that two employees of the company, and
not Hotter, were guilty of the theft An
investigation resulted in their arrest and
they are now awaiting trial for the theft
of which Hotter has already been declared
guilty.
When Lawyer Young moved for a new
trial for Hotter the motion was opposed
by the Prosecutor on the grounds that
he was partly guilty in that he did not
at once give information that would have
resulted in the arrest of the culprits, but
kept it quiet until after he himself was
convicted of the crime.

suited in the death of two Italians and
the serious injury of several others. all
laborers. None OF the passengers was
injured. The passenger cars were tele-
scoped and tragic was stopped for sever
al hours Much damage was done to the
road bed and rails in addition to the al
most total destruction of four passenger
cars, wrecking car and rigging and
an engine. The passenger train was the
Haverstraw special. due at Hoboken at
$50 o'clock.
The collision occurerd just as the
Haverstraw train was emerging from the
mouth of the tunnel to the east The
wrecking train was also going east at a
pretty rapid rate, and the Haverstraw
was making up a few minutes time it
had lost at the Haverstraw side tracks
1t was very dark in the tunnel and the
engineer of the Haverstraw could not see
well. The wrecking train did not get its
signal on time and stopped to await the
signal. There We're no danger lamps on
the rear of the wrecking train and the
first knowledge the passengers had of
danger was when the crash came The
engineer of the passenger train jumped
and his fireman did the same. The lever
was reversed, but it was too late.
The passengers were thrown in heaps
on the floors of the cars and several were
severely cut by flying glass and splinters.
The pilot of the locomotive struck the
rear end of the wrecking car and raised
it clear off the tracks, burrowing under it.
The crash was heard for several blocks
and from al sides men rushed to the as
sistance of those in danger. In a very
few minutes hundreds of hands were
clearing away the debris and doing every
thing possible for the men buried under
the wreclage. There were ten men buried
in all. They were all Italians.
The two who were killed were identi-
fed by papers in their pockets as Joseph
Benio and Joseph Allie, both of New
York City. The names of the injured had
not been learned when 1.-THE News went
to press.
AS soon as possible another wrecking
train was on the scene and the work of
clearing the road began in earnest. BY
eleven o'clock the line was all open and
traffic went on as if it had never been
interrupted.
When it was possible to send a train
through the injured men were taken to
the nearest station. The dead were re-
moved to Nicker's morgue in Union Hill.
The injured were taken to st. Maryss
Hospital ips Hoboken.
