CRASHES ON CONSOLIDATED
TRAINS COLLIDE NEAR UNION CITY
 AND AT D1NBURY.
Strikes a Freight on tho Naugatuck Blocking tho Tracks All Night-NO One Seri0usly Injured-At Danbury Two Freight Trains Como Together Engineers and Bremen Jump.

Naugatuck, Nov. 2S,-Passenger train No. 1,221, known as the New London train. and in charge of Conductor Beers, collided at 4:3O o'clock this afternoon with an extra freight just south of the Union City passenger station and near the Hop Brook bridge trestie. The ex- tra freight was backing on to a siding to clear the main track. In the dark ness the engineer of the passenger train failed to see the extra, and, at speed of fifteen miles an hour, struck the for ward car of the freight. smashing that car and the tender of the freight engine. The passenger engine was damaged, one cylinder being broken.
 None of the passengers was hurt, but Engineer Schofleld, of the passenger train. was slightly injured by being thrown against the lever of the locomo- tive when the collision occurred. The firemen of the freight received slight scratches by jumping Into barbed- wire fence Two hours after the acci- dent passengers were transferred to an- other train and proceeded on their jour ney. It is expected that the track will be blocked until midnight. The New Haven polo team were among the pas eengers on the train.
 Danbury. Nov. 2S.-A freight wreck of a spectacular character occurred at { o'clock this afternoon at the White street station here and blocked the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad for a number of hours. A heavy freight train of forty cars drawn by two engines, bound east, was almost in front of the station, when it collided head-on with a switching train, consisting of an engine and twen- ty-five cars, which was standing on a siding. A misplaced switch is supposed to have been the cause.
 The engineers and firemen jumped when they saw that a collision was un- avoidable, and they escaped injury.
 The force of the impact of the heavy freight piled the locomotive of the switching engine up on it's own tender and pushed the tender and the cars be- hind back 1000 feet along the track. One car of the freight train was up- ended, and in passing White street tore down the street railroad trolley wire and stopped all street car traffic fin that section of the city.

TO SETTLE COLOMBIAN WAR
4 CONFER ENCE HELD ONU. s, GUN-
 BOAT MARIEITA.
Parties Representing the Government and tho Revolutiontsts Attend -- Result Not Made Kn0wn-Llberals to Sur render Colon To-day-Moro Heavy Fighttng-Over a Hundred Killed or Wounded.

Colon, Colombia, Nov. 2S, 1:20 p. n.- Generals Alban and Jeffreys have ar rived here and were received at the railroad station by the guards of the United States gunboat Machias and the British second class cruiser Tribune. The government commanders have doubtless come here to arrange terms for discontinuing the struggle. A con- ference was held on the United States gunboat Marietta.
 The commanding officers of the Marietta, of the British cruiser Tribune and of the French cruiser Suchet and Lieutenant Commander McCrea of the Machias and Captain Perry of the Iowa were present as were Generals Albans and Jeffries, representing the govern ment of Colombia and Senor De La Rosa, secretary to General Domingo Diaz, who represented the Liberal par ty of Colombia.
 No information as to the result of this conference has been made public and none of the details of the understand which was arrived at has leaked out. It can be said upon the best authority, however, that the Liberals will surren- der Colon tomorrow to the government authorities.
 United States marines guard Colon Co v,fr1 1;oI ,4s ,to,, arfs concerning the terms of surrender are current on shore, but the only men ln- formed in this regard refuse to answer questions. Colon is quiet but much anxiety prevails.
 Colon, Colombia, Wednesday, Nov. 7, strong, under General Alban, on reap bearing at Buenavista. this afternoon, opened fire on the Liberal forces under Colonel Barrera. The latter were not entrenched but having the choice of ground occupied the top of small hill at Buenavista. The fighting, which was of the Es@st savage nature. lasted until 5:ao -gn. without stopping, when the government forces, owing to the great loss they had sustained. were compelled to give way and retreated toward Frijoles. Over hundred men were killed or wounded the bodies ly- ing all along the railroad.
 A train on reaching Buenavista was unable to pass owing to a pile of corpses blocking it's passage. About twenty wounded men were taken to Panama on the evening train.
 The Liberals at Colon are once more 1ubilant owing to the fact that General Alban's forward march has been stop ped, coupled with hopes that General Domingo Diaz, with endorsements of Liberals from Chorrera, will soon arrive on the scene of action and attack Gen eral Alban in the rear This has changed the aspect of affairs at Pana- ma.

CoRBETl BEATS M'GoVERN
DI1ON'S CONQUEROR KNOCK ED
 OUT IN THE SECOND ROUND.

Hartford, Nov. 2S.-Knocked out in second round of which only one minute and forty-four seconds had elapsed was the referees verdict of the f1stic battle between Young Corbett" of Denver, Col, and Terry McGovern of Brooklyn. who has held the featherweight cham pionship unfiinchingly since he won 1t from George Dixon eighteen months ago.
 Outwitted and outpointed with 2 fighter just the same as himself, Mo Govern had to lower his colors this af ternoon, at the Nutmeg Athletic club, within seven minutes after the begin ming of the fight Young Corbett," l" who outside of ring parlance is known as Billy Rothwel of Denver, Col. got the better of the champion in less than two rounds of fighting and he did it 50 perfectly that there was no doubt about 1t,
 The shock to the Greater New York enthusiasts who crowded the boxing pavilion when the little champion was knocked out in the second round was a repetition of the disappointment exhib- ited by the adhersnts of John l.. Sulli- van when Corbett defeated him in New Orleans some half dozen years ago.
 Terry was as fit as the proverbial fid- dle but he was not fast enough for his man. From the word "Go' the lads went at each other like game cocks and it looked as If either would go out in the first round. McGovern got the worst of the opening round and in his endeavor to get in left himself open several times.
 Corbett just stood off McGovern on every lead and trick but the little Brooklyn boy went on as if there were nothing to it but counting the winners end of the purse.
 When McGovern was knocked down in the openig round there were cries of dismay from his packers but his won- derful reouperative powers were equal to the occasion and he was on hie feet within seven seconds of the count.
 This downfall seemed to take the stamina out of McGovern but he fought the round in clever style and tried

 Events of Last Two Years,

London, Nov. 29.-Captain Alfred T. Mahan's essay in the December issue of the National Review on the South African war in which the writer main tains that British prestige has been rather augmented than diminished by the events of the past two years, is the subject of laudatory editorials in all of to-days morning papers. The Stan dard says:
 With the substantial benefits at- tained which Captain Mahan indicates we need care little about that is said by ill-informed or ill-natured persons abroad"

 Manila, Nov 2S.-The United States transport Wright has been wrecked in the Straits of Darman (DaramD. The transport struck on an uncharted rock at the entrance of San Jacinto and sank in fifteen feet of water. To raise her it will require wrecking machinery which is not available here. She will proba- ply prove to be total loss.
 Washington, Nov. 2S.--A brief dis patch came to the war department to- day from General Chaffee confirming the press report of the wreck of the transport Wright. General Chaffee's dispatch was very brief, saying simply that the vessel had struck on an un- charted rock and that the question of the rescue of the vessel was problem atical.
 The United States transport Wright, formerly the Aid, was originally fruiter and was presented to the gov ernment by some patriotic women of Boston, when the Spanish war broke out, to be used as hospital ship Lat CT she was fitted out as dispatch boat and was sent to Cuba to be used by General Wood. More recently she was sent to the Philippine Islands as a dis patch boat and store ship. She had fine refrigeratory plant and a refriger- ated storeroom, which made her of great value in the islands. The Wright was first called the Bay State. This was before she was transformed into hospital ship.

 Score ofthe Season Against tho Indians Philadelphia, Nov. 2s.-The Universi- ty of Pennsylvania football team ended it's disastrous season to-day with a crushing defeat at the hands of the Cor nell eleven, the Ithaca men scoring twenty-four points to the Quakers' six. It was the first time since the two uni- versailles have played football together that Cornell has been able to best Penn sylvania.
 All through the contest the red and blue players fought their opponents every inch of the way, but the doughty New Workers were superior to them in every department of the game except bunting. Cornell's offense was power full and Pennsylvania was able to hold them not more than half dozen times. The visitors also got into play better and quicker than the home men, which counted for much in the mass plays. A notable feature of Cornells attack was the fine interference for the runner in open plays. Two of her touchdowns were made solely through the good help given the man with the ball. On the defense Cornell was like a stone wall. It was near the end of the first half be- fore Pennsylvania was able to make first down, and the total number made in the entire game did not number more than ten.
 Coach Woodruff's latest football crea- tion, the "Whirligig," had no terrors for Cornell and it was effectually stop ped nearly every time it was tried. Cor nell played best in the first half in which period they made twelve points to Pennsylvania six. In the second half the Quakers' game improved, while the visitors seemed to let down bit, but managed. notwithstanding, to add two more touchdowns to their score.
 The day was clear and quite cold. A very stiff wind blew straight down the field from the west and made matters uncomfortable for the 10000 persons who saw the game. It was the usual Thanksgiving day football crowd en- thusiastic to degree. The lineup was as follows:
