Trenton, n. j., Feb 22.-Twelve killed
and about thirty injured is the record

lision of two trains last night at Rus
tings Siding, near Bordentown, on the
Amboy division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
All bodies have been removed from
the wrecked trains.
OF the injured. nineteen are now in
the Trenton hospitals and five in Coop
er Hospital at Camden. Some of the
other more slightly injured went to
their homes. OF the injured at Trenton,
eight are Italians and at Camden all the
five are Italians OF the dead, eleven
bodies are now at the Trenton morgue,
one of them an unidentified woman and
one body is at Camden. Seven bodies
have been positively identified.
They are:
WALTER EARLE, engineer of the
express train.
WALTER MALE, of Trenton, passci..
ger on local train.
JAMES BIRMINGHAM, baggage
master on the local train.
JOHN GATES, of Trenton, passenger
on the local train.
An Italian whose first name was Joe,

MULAS SPARTA. an Italian. who
died at the Cooper Hospital Camden.
Another body at the Trenton morSue
is that of an Italian name unknown
Another is that of an unidentified wo-
man.
The three other bodies at the morgue
are so badly mutilated that identifica-
ton is difficult They are supposed to
be bodies of three Trenton men.
OF the injured in the hospitals here
there are four, including three Italians,
whose recovery is doubtful.
All the others in the hospitals here
are progressing nicely.
Both General Superintendent Shep
herd and Division superintendent Aber-
crombie admitted today that the crew
of the accommodation train diSobeyed
the train orders. Conductor Sapp, OF
the local train, who is at his home in
Bordentown, suffering from slight in

that he had entirely forgotten the order
relative to the third section of the Mel
lie Bly, express. Engineer Thompson,
of the same train, who lies seriously in
jured in a Trenton Hospital, said that
some terrible mistake had been made
somewhere. The train orders issued
were in duplicate and both Thompson
and Sapp were given a couple. The or
der directed the train to remain on the
siding at Shipyard, above BordertoWn
until all three sections of the express
had passed. but instead of doing this
however the local pulled out on the

CAN 1T BE TRUE?

Every Republican paper and every
other paper that is opposing impeach-
ment says that it is only necessary Tor
six Democrats to vote against conviction
for the Impeachment proceeding to fail.
They thus declare their belief that the
nine Republicans and the two Populists,
no matter what the facts or the law,
will vote against impeachment. is such
an assumption warranted? Have these
eleven jurors, who will be sworn to give
a verdict according to the evidence, al
ready made up their minds what YER
dict they wilI-render before the case has
even been opened? 1t is true that every
Republican and .Populist in the House
voted against impea achment. They
might have done so on the ground that
IT was inexpedient, but the Senators
must answer guilty or mot guilty
upon the evidence and the law. Can it
be possible that eleven of the jurors
have already made up their minds and
that the papers have right to publish
how they will vote?
There are thirty nine Democratic SEN
atorS With proper appreciation of
} the responsibility resting upon them
they have refrained from discussing the
matter of impeachment even with their
most intimate friends. Some of them
have not even read any of the speeches
made in the House and are resolved to
give a verdict based entirely upon the
law and the. evidence. If any paper
should print that it is certain how all
these thirty-nine Senators would vote,
it would be unwarranted and false, for
nobody knows. Nobody will know until
their names are called and they answer
guilty or mot guilty The people of
the State will rejoice to know that most
jurors who are to pass upon this mo-
mentous matter will approach it in the
spirit of true jurors, ready to divest
themselves of every thought except
his, Did the judges violate the Con-
Stitution and laws of the State?
Can it be true that the eleven Repub-
licans and Populists, who are widely
advertised as standing solidly against
Impeachment, have made up their minds
before the case is opened? If so, they
-sye unfit to act as jurors.

it should be explained that, though these
arc good Latin words, the sentence as a

Broom Supply company, vulgarly
known as the broom corn trust, kept
up prices. and the farmer received
500 ton for his brush. On account
of the highlv satisfactory condition OF
affairs every farmer set about to plart
broom corn. Then the belief became
general that everybody was going to
plant broom corn and that the result
would be an oversupply and low prices.
Consequently most of those who had
contemplated putting their fields into
corr changed their minds. Thosa who
were not scared out were SO few that
they have been able to stand together
and practically to name their own price
for their crops.
Harvesting the corn is a lob which
must be done with expedition. If the
corn stands long after it is ripe. II loses

In the fields the cOrnstalks. which
grow from ten to twelve or fifteen feet
high, are first broken about three feet
from the ground and laid diagonally
across each other. forming what is
called a "table." After the cornstalks
have all been broken crew Of cutters
is turned into the field. To each man
is allotted a table" which runs the
entire length OF the field. usually a
quarter OF a mile. A common knife
with q wooden handle and a blade
about three inches long is the tool used.
The operator takes the knife in his
right hand and stalk OF corn in his
left. He pulls the corn toward the
knife and with a quick movement sep

the corn is shucked it is left in hand

carried to the thrnShing machine. There
all the seeds are taken from the brush.
