PRESBYTERIAN CONFERENCE.
4 Move That May Finally Reunite the
Northern and Southern Presbyte-
rian Churches.

st. Louis, Feb. 22.-Missouri has
taken the lead in formulating plan
by which there shall be cooperation
between the Presbyterian and the
southern Presbyterian churches in
the matter Of education. Joint action
was taken yesterday by two special
committees of the two synods of the
state, recommending cooperation in
the work OF education as sometime
not only desirable" but imperative"
To clinch the compact, the southern
committee offered to the other de.
nomination the privilege of having
Joint control with the southern church
Of Westminster college, at Fulton.
The Presbyterian committee, in turn.
recommended a similar joint control
for the Underwood College for Young
Ladies at st. Charles. Each commit
tee then approved the lberality of the
other and agreed to recommend the
entire plan to its own synod. The
action yesterday, important as it is
in its bearing on the two schools con-
cerned, is considered of even greater
moment as a precedent in co-opera-
ton between north and south, which
may establish a course that shall end
in the rerniting of the two denomina-
tions.

TWO TRAINS COLLIDE
The "Nellie Bly," Express Dashes
into a Passenger Train.
TEN PERSONS Lose their LIVES.
Many Others Are Reported Injured-Both
Engines and Forward Cars Demolished
and the Wreckage Burned-The Pas
senger Train Crew Blamed.

Trenton, y. j., Feb. 22.-One of the
worst collisions in the history of the
Amboy division of the Pennsylvania
railroad occurred yesterday evening
OF Rusling's siding, near Bordentown.
The Nellie BY" express from New
York for Atlantic City collided with
passenger train No. $50, running from
Camden to Trenton. The number Of
dead so far as known is ten and the
injured upwards of 25. The two
trains collided at full speed and both
engines were completely demolished.
The forward cars of each train, in
both instances a combination baggage
and smoker, were entirely demol-
ished also and the wreckage took
fire. The second car of the Nellie
Bly, turned over on its side and the
passengers had to climb out through
the windows. In this they were as
sisted by passengers from the cars
that did not leafe the track. The
track at this point is so close to the
Delaware & Raritan canal that the
passengers in getting out of the over
turned coach got into the canal and
many of the bodies of the dead and
injured had to be taken from the
water.
The railroad officials put the blame
on the crew of the local train, which
was in charge of Conductor L. S.
Sapp and Engineer B. +. Thompson.
The railroad authorities say that the
crew of this train had been given Or
ders to inject" the express at Borden
town--that is, to wait on siding at
that point until the express shall have
passed. Instead of doing this, how
ever they kept on up the road and
met the express at Rusling's siding
above Bordentown and head-on col
lision resulted.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 23.--Pat Grove
has been heard from under crcum-
stances which indicate that he is soon
to make public appearance. i. A..
Cudahy is in receipt of letter bear
ing Groves signature. The handwrit-
ing has been tested by comparison
and it is the opinion of the pnker-
tons, Chief Donahue and other au-
thorities that the signature is gem
uine. The letter is dated South
Omaha, February "a, but the envelope
indicated that it had been mailed in
Omaha. Grove explains in the letter
that he has heard that the Omaha
police are looking for him and believe
him to be one of the kidnapers of
Edward Cudahy, Jr lie maintains
that he is innocent and says that he
has no knowledge of the affair, with
the exception of what he has read in
the newspapers. He says that he will
drop into Omaha some day and prove
himself innocent and that he would
have done so long ago had he not
been afraid that he might suffer the
fate of the negro who was lynched
ut Leavenworth. In conclusion, he
says that he is much hurt to Think
that Mr. Cudahy suspects him of being
guilty of the kidnapping and expresses
his appreciation of the kindness Mr..
Cuduhy has shown him in the past.
