ONE ENGINEER KILLED
And Three Locomotives Destroyed ia
Railroad Accident.

Walpcle, N H., Jan. 15.-The loss of
Ia life and damage to rolling stock esti-
mated at nearly 25,000 occurred
through the collision of three big loco
motives on the Boston & Maine Rail-
road at Cold River station, three miles
north of here and one mile south of
Bellows Falls. at midnight. The wreck
lage obstructed the tracks all the fore
noon, the wreckers finding it slow work
| to handle the remains of two of the
engines which were practically destroy
ed in the crash. Oliver Ellison, engi-
neer. was the man killed. His fireman,
Hosa Wheeler, escaped death but was
severely bruised in jumping.
Indirectly the accident was due to
the failure CT the local freight train
from Fitchburg to reach Cold River at
her usual time. The train was due to
pass the station shortly before 4 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, but it did not
come along until midnight. AT that
hour while the train was standing at
| the old River station engine No. 1044
backed onto the track and stood in the
rear of the freight.
| Two other locomotives just out of the
repair shops at keene, came along at a
| fair rate of speed and crashed into the
engine standing in the rear of the
| freight. The three big machines be-
carGe practically as one. till the entire
mass, being driven through the ca
boose in the rear of the train and threw
| two freight cars from the irons and de-
molished them.
The engineer in charge of the locomo-
| tives from the Keene shops, Oliver Eli
son and his fireman Hosea Wheeler,
jumped when they saw the standing
| locomotive loom up ahead of them. The
fireman was not seriously injurd. but
| Ellison struck a switch sustaining in
juries so serious that death ensued
within half an hour.
Two of the locomotives were reduced
| to scrap iron and the third one was
badly damaged. AS soon as possible
division headquarters was notified and
wreckers despatched to the scene.
Workmen were busy all the morning
clearing the tracks. The accident is
being investigated. None of the freight
train crew was injured, Conductor
| Corcoran and his men not being in the
caboose at the time of the crash.

THE CUBAN TREATY
Finished by Committee and
Reported to Senate.
Will Be Called Up, Monday, for Early
aa Action if Possible. eeh s,s
Democrats Announce that They Will
isea Oppose II. 4a ~

Washington, Jan. 15.-The Senate
committee on foreign relations agreed
today. TO report the Cuban reciprocity
treaty to the Senate with two amend
ments. The first of these is the guar
antee against a further reduction ol
the sugar tariff which was adopted,
Yesterday, and the second makes a re-
duction of 40 per cent in the reduction
of the duty on American cattle export
ed to Cuba instead of 20 per cent. as
provided in the treaty as it was
originally transmitted to the Senate.
Senators Bacon and Bailey cast their
votes against the resolution for a
favorable report, but all the other votes
were in the affirmative.
Several other amendments were sug-
gested by Senator Bacon. All were
voted down, among them the provis-
ion requiring that the treaty be sub
mitted to the House as well as to the
Senate for ratification, and that elm
mating Article 6 of the treaty provid-
ing that no rebate or concession be
given on American, tobacco imported
into Cuba. A number of items be-
sides cattle were cited as properly be-
longing to Schedule c, which grants
a traffic reduction of 40 per cent. on
American articles going into Cuba.
One of these was turpentine, but this
went down with the others. The
amendment transferring cattle to the
40 per- cent. list was accepted because
of some recent changes in the Cuban
tariff which led the committee to the
conclusion that the change would be
equitable.
The Republican members of the COM
mittee voted solidly for the resolu-
ton to report the treaty and Senator
Morgan, DEM, voted with them. Sena-
tor Money was absent and Senator
RaWlins refrained from voting.
The rates of duty herein granted by
the United States to the Republic OF
Cuba are and shall continue during the
term Of this convention preferential in
respect to all like imports from other
countries and in return for said prefer
entail rates of duty granted to the re-
public of the United States. it is agreed
that the concessions herein granted on
the part of the republic of Cuba to
the products of the United States shall
likewise be and shall continue during
the term of this convention, preferen-
tial in respect to all like imports from
other countries. Provided, that while
this convention is in force, no sugar
being the product of the soil of the
industry of the republic of Cuba shall
be exported from said republic to the
United States at a greater reduction

X. OF L. WILL STRIKE.
Lynn Boot and Shoe Workers Union
Will Help Defeat Them.

Lynn, Mass, Jan. 15.-Fifteen of the
shoe manufacturers of Lynn, using the
Union stamps on their goods decided,
this afternoon, TO throw their lot with
the Boot and Shoe Workers Union in
its struggle for trade union supremacy
with the knights of Labor and as re-
suit of this decision il is expected that
200 cutters affiliated with the latter or
ganization will strike tomorrow morn
ing.
Although the strike is aimed at all
the Is union stamp factories, cutters
from only nine will go out, tomorrow.
The cutters are already out in the fac
tory of Walter H. Tuttle. The strike
was definitely decided upon at a meet
ing, tAnight of the executive board Of
the Knights of Labor Cutters Union
and the men will leave their benches at
o'clock.
Both SIDES to the fight in this city are
well prepared and apparently eager for
the fray. The knights of Labor have
pickets at every railroad station while
the Boot and Shoe Workers Union only
regretted, tonight, that the strike
which was ordered, this morning, and
held in abeyance pending the manufac-
turers conferences did not come off on
time.
The Boot and Snoe Workers part in
the contest will be to supply union cut
ters to take the place of the strikers in
the union stamp factories. while the
knights of Labor will use every effort
through means of pickets to dissuade
the new workers from taking the
places of union men.

PAPAl CANDIDATE DEAD.
Was Vice Chancellor of Catholic
Church and 70 Years of Age.

Rome. Jan. 15.-Cardinal Lucido
Mary Par Y Farocchi, sub-dean of the
Sacred College and vice chancellor of
the Catholic church, died, today. of
heart disease. He was born in 1888,
was of Italian nationality and was
created a cardinal in 1877.
The death of Cardinal Parocchi re-
moves one of the prelates who was con-
sidered most likely to succeed Pope
Leo. There was always considerable
friction between the Pope and Cardinal
Parocchi on this account. 1t led to the
unprecedented step by the Pontiff, who
removed the cardinal from the post of
vicar of Rome because it was thought
he too openly posed as the future Pope.
Nevertheless the Pope was deeply af-
fected by Cardinal Parocchi's death.
He knelt in prayer and exclaimed
These frequent deaths have made me
feel quit an old man.
