New York, Oct. 29.-The prosecution

the defense had secured an important
advantage in the decision by Justice
Lambert and the reading of the testi-
mony given at the first trial by Mamie
Melando and Detective Farrell both
of whom are beyond the jurisdiction of
the court, was inadmissable. Miss Me-
lando was the first witness at the first

holdholder was bought in that city.

PENNSY EXPRESS IN WRECK
Crashed into Rear Of Freight Train.
PASSENGERS Had Narrow Escape.

Lancaster, Pa, Oct. 30.-Passengers
on the Harrisburg express, leaving this
city at IT'S o'clock last evening faced
catastrophe of appalling possibilities,
and miraculously escaped with a vio-
lent shaking up. The express was
running at the rate of 40 miles an
hour, when it suddenly crashed into
the rear of freight train, which was
standing on the track at Dillersville.
one mile northwest of this city. The
engine of the express ploughed far in
to the last car of the freight train
which was an empty box car, and there
it stuck. From some inexplicable
cause none Of the cars were derailed.
The violence Of the compact shat
tered the windows Of the passenger
coaches and hurled the passengers
from their seats. but aside from the
jar no one was hurt. The escape Of
Engineer Harry K. Thomas and his
fireman, c. II. Downes. of Harrisburg,
was even more remarkable. BY the
roof of the freight car they were
knocked down against their firebox, but
managed to crawl out of the wreck,
slightly scalded and bruised. The ex-
press engine and three freight cars at
once caught fire and were consumed.
The passenger cars were uncoupled
and pulled back from the conhagra-
tion.
Engineer Thomas had the usual or
ders of a clear track through to Har-
risburg. The freight train was watt
ing for orders to go onto a siding at
Dillerville. The fiagman of the latter
waved a danger signal when he saw
the express coming, but did not at.
tract Engineer Thomas attention until
it was too late to avert a collision.

London. Oct. 3O.-The Very Rev.
William H. Fremantle. dean of Ripon,
addressing a meeting Of the Church.
mems Union yesterday on the subject
of natural Christianity, created a SEN
sation by suggesting that the idea of
the immaculate conception should be
left out Of account, because, except in
st. Matthew and st. Luke, the virginia.
birth of Christ IS not mentioned in the
New Testament. The speaker then
proceeded to ask whether it was irrev-

matter of miracles. such as raising the
dead. etc, could not have failed to
make a distinction between death and
various forms of unconsciousness.
With regard to the resurrection, the
dean of Ripon said he considered this
was meant spiritually and not ma
