 The accident happened opposite the Clelland factory. The freight had orders to get to the lap track west of the Clelland factory and let the pas senger by. A broken drawbar caused six minutes delay. The engineer sent the brakeman ahead to flag the passenger. The freight stopped at the Washington street crossing, but soon followed the fagman. There was heavy fog, making it impossible to see 50 feet ahead. Opposite the Clelland factory the fagman saw the passenger coming at full speed. He had just time to give a shout and jumped for safety. Both engines were reversed when they met, but the momentum was not checked to any extent. The passenger train con- sisted of six cars. There were two baggage and express cars, a smoker, 9 ladies' coach, the Pullman sleeper Woodland and tourist sleeper. The second baggage car telescOped the smoker nearly its length. The shock threw the people from their seats. The passengers from the other cars rushed to the aid of those in the front of the smoker, but it was near ly an hour and a half after the acci- dent before the last one was taken from the wreck of the smoker.

CoNCLAVE PRECINCTS DOUDLY GUARDED.
A Caravan of Peasants From the Surrounding Provinces Lend New Element to the Scene on tIte Piazza of St. Peters By Their Bright Costumes.

Rome, Aug. 4.-Though this is the third morning of the cardinals i'm prisonment, they have not yet arrived at @ decision. In the hope that over night some agreement mi0ht have been arranged, the foreign ministers, many other personages and 2,0o0 or 5000 of the general public went to St. Peters Monday morning to await developments.
 Doomed to Disappointment.
 They were doomed to another dis appointment, for at 11:1 a. m., like the broken-out pennant of a ship, the smoke, announcing that the fifth bal lot had been fruitless, rose from the chimney of the Sistine chapel and was borne away by a light breeze. It was homeward bound pennant for the crowd, which immediately left the piazza. Many expressed regret at the failure of the ballot. There is a popular feeling that the afternoons ballot may bring the new pope, but this does not appear to be based on any particular reason
 The Vatican Guards Doubled.
 The correspondent visited the inside of the vatican and found that al! around the precincts of the conclave the guards had been doubled. and wherever there is the slightest pos sibi.ity of communication with the conclave the Swiss guards, gen darmes and Palatine guards watched the ground. The antagonism exist ing between these bodies is the best guarantee that nothing underhand will be allowed. Besides, the captains of the conclave in their cooked hats and uniforms embroidered with gol! lace. assisted by the valet. of Prince Chigi, the marshal of the ccnclave. in gorgeous liveries. are constantly on the alert.
 The Piazza of St. Peters.
 The piazza of St. Peters Monday morning bore the usual appearance of these past days. Italian soldiers oc- cupied two colonnades and stood about in groups vainly trying to keep in the shade, the sun being scorch- ing. A new note to the scene was given by a caravan of peasants from the surrounding provinces, composed of men, women and children in cos tune, who have evidently come to Rome for the pope's blessing. The women wore bright red skirts, white bodices with colored corsets outside, spotless white handkerchiefs on thei. heads, and sandals laced with leather thongs to the knee. The men were less gorgeous in velvet knee brooches with gold buttons. The group camped in the shadow of the obelisk, eating watermelon and making so brilliant a picture that all on the piazza, es- pecially the foreigners, feasted their eyes on the chara cteristic scene.
