all the witnesses for the plalntitt be
excluded from the room, They were
put in the ladies' witness room.
The witnesses for the defense were
also excluded and they were placed in
the Orphans Court room. Mr.. Belts
was the first witness. He testified
that he had left Darby shortly after
6o'clock, on Sunday night, August
26. 1900, and arrived in this city
shortly after o'clock. He signalled
the conductor to stop at Twelfth

Eleventh Street was reached.
Mr.. Belts was about to stop to the
ground when the Car started with Il
sudden jerk andhe was thrown Violent
ly to the ground. lie was injured
about the head and back and was rem
dered unconscious.
Since the accident Mr.. Belts has
been unable to attend to his offices
and las been very lottery. On sew
eral occasions when he had tried to
reach his office he had been sent home
IN carriage. His hearing which
was not Of the best, has also been in
jured SO that he now has to use a trlm
pet.
Miss Maggie joyce, who was stand
ing at Eleventh and Market streets

Must Have Pure MILK.

Milk Inspector Walter Nc cEvilly
is determined that the people OF
Wilmington shall receive pure milk.
Since tho passage of the new or.
dInance he has been on the alert for
all violators of the law. He swore
out warrant this morning for the
arrest Of a milkman whose milk was
several points below the standard.
The case will! come up in the Mul-
icipal Court as soon as service 10
made in the case.
A good story is now going the
rounds showing how alert the Milk
Inspector has been. Recently
milk dealer was approached by
milk man who asked if he would
take what mlkhe would have daily,
An agreement wac reached but
on Saturday last the dealers cana
were empty when the milkman
dumped .in, whal0he had left. An
hour later the dealer bottled the
milk but strange to say no cream
came on top. After wait of four
hours he discovered that the couu.
trymen had given him skim milk.
The Milk Inspector was notified
and he took an interest to watch.
He came upon the man after sell.
ing the milk the next day but he
even denied that he sold the milk id
the store.
The dealer and his wife adhered
to the story and the Inspector took
a sample. lie got the farmer ia
take another sample. Milk Inspec.
tor McEviIly refused to-day to say
il the warrant he secured was for
the arrest Of the man who sold tho
milk to the dealer. lie would not =
confirm the report that such was
the case.
He said that all the evidence will
come out in court. Interest will DC

TERRIBLE ::
ACCIDENT.

New York, Jaa S.-Many per-
sons were killed and injured in a
wreck which occurred in the New
York Central Railroad tunnel at
5Gth street and Park avenue at 500
o'clock this morning. The exact
number of dead and injured cam
not be ascertained as yet. It is
said that at least ten were killed. .
The cause of the accident is mn
certain, but the fog and haze ct
the early morning hours had
something to do with it. The,
dead and injured were riding in
the rear coach Of the Danbury Ex-
press, from Danbury, Conn, on
the N. Y, N, H, g. H. line. With
out an instant warming, an engine
on u Harlem train crashed into
this car and ploughed halfway
through.
The screams Of the injured and
panic-stricken passengers were
heard in Park avenue, through
which the tunnel runs, and the
cries of agony gave the first alarm
to the police. Fire engines and
ambulances were hurried: to the
scene.
Confusion reigned. It was near
ly half an hour before the rescuers
made their way into the smashed
and splintered coach. The tele-
scoping engine had jammed itself
into the car like wedge, and
clouds of steam poured from the
coach.
Most of the passengers on both
trains were comuuters-persons
who reside in nearby towns in
New York and Connecticut and
who came to business in this city
laily. Both trains were we'll
oaded.
AT 10 o'clock the death list had
cached twenty-eight. Sixteen
bodies are at the hospitals, ten
lave been removed from the wreck
md two can be seen in it.

Says e, Don't Know.

| Former Mayor John c. Fahey says
he cannot tell IL he signed the con.
tract for lighting the streets of the
city of Wilmington to the Welshback
company for ten years before he went
out of Office. If the paper was sub
mitted to him he signed it and II he
did not atlix his signature thereto he
is sorry he did not do SO. He was
fully in accord with it.
There is an interesting story anoat
concerning this Welshbach contract.
Contracts for lighting the city were
awarded on June last to the Whining
ton City Electric company for elcc-
trio lights, and to the Welsbach COM
pany for gas lights, but no time was
fixed for either contract to run. The
directions practically reached the con-
clusion to award the contract for ten
years in each case, but it was never
done formally until a week ago. In
the meantime, however, the secretary
of the Street and Sewer Department
drew up to contracts, one foreach COM
pany. The one prepared for the
Welshbach company was sent to it
with the time left blank. Sometime
after that representative Of the COM
pany called upon the secretary of the
department and asked for an explana-
tion of certain phases of tho contract,
which explanation was given. He
then left after, stating that the
contract would be executed.
The secretary OF the department
has not been able to find the contract
since, but it is believed that 1t was
executed, signed by DR.. John {.
Fahey, who was then mayor and is in
effect. The company proceeded to
equip the lamps in this city with
Welsbach burners and has been light
ing the city
No record of the contract having
been signed Is at the Office OF the
Street and Sewer Department. 1t is
up to the new Commission when in
Quoted into office to find the contract |
This may cause some legal action to
compel the Directors who resigned !!
yesterday to produce.
