STORY OF THE AWFUL WRECK
How 1t Happenec That the Two Trains
Came Together.

How 1t Happenec That the Two Trains
Came Together.
The train which was run into left
New York at 5:45 and runs express
to Bound Brook, making stops at Eliza
beth, Westfield and Plainfeld. Beyond
Bound Brook it runs as a local. The
Royal Blue train left fifteen minutes
later, but travels at a higher speed
and makes 10 stops except at Eliza
beth, and Is scheduled to oyertake
the slower train just beyond Grace
land, where the latter switches from
track 3 onto track 4 to permit the
Royal Blue to pass.
Last evening a freight train was
blocked on track A, and the local re-
ceiyed orders to proceed on the express
track to Dunellen and there take the
outside or No. track. Shortly after
receiving orders the train had to stop
for a hot box, which delayed her so
that when she got under way again
she was due at Dunellen. She had
just started, and was moving slowly
when the Royal Blue, travelling appar-
emily at full speed, which at that point
approximates sixty-five miles an hour,
crashed into the rear-end.
The heavy engine Of the Royal Blue
tore its way into the rear car, and at
the same time drove the forward end
of that car into the rear end of the
car ahead, which in turn was driven
into the third car, and this in turn
was driven into the fourth car from
the rear. The fourth car was only
partly wrecked, but the last three were
torn to pieces
The engine of the Royal Blue left
the rails and turned over on her side,
the engineer and firemen sticking to
their posts and going down in the
wreck. They are now in the Mullen
burg hospital at Plainfeld, and the
engineer is rot believed to have a
chance Of living more than a few
hours.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The judiciary
committee of the house has favorably
reported a bill to meet the conditions
brought about by the original pack
age" decision of the supreme court,
which decision was in effect that the
states in the exercise Of their public
powers could not interfere with the in
PRODUCTION of liquors in original pack
ages.
The decision prevented the eneforc
ment of prohibitory laws enacted by
various states. The bill seeks to correct
this by subjecting intoxicating liquors
imported from one state into another
to the Jurisdiction of the laws of the
state into which they are imported.

Berlin, Jan. PA report that Ger
many and Great Britain haveprovision-
ally accepted the guarantee submitted
by Minister Bowen is confirmed here.
Washington Does Not Confirm.
Washington, Jan. 27.-There is no
information in Washington to justify
the positive statement contained in the
Caracas dispatch that the Venezuelan
blockade will be raised on Wednesday,
Minister Bowen continues hopeful that
such happy consummation will re-
suit from the pending negotiations, as
the latest proposition he has made to
the allied governments is regarded by
him as an eminently fair one. He
is still awaiting formal replies to that
proposition from Great Britain and
Germany. and on these will depend the
question whether the blockade is to be
raised.
Question of the Percentage.
A Rome dispatch says the question
now to be determined is the amount of
the customs receipts which are to be
given as guaranty. Minister Bowen
declines to discuss the question in any
Of its phases nor will he disclose what
is the actual amount of guaranty he
has offered. The Italian government
has cabled to it's feet commander in
Venezuelan waters to withdraw from
the blockade as soon as the ships Of
the other powers do so. Information
to this effect was received by the Ital-
ian ambassador here yesterday
still Believes Peace Il Near.
Up to the close of yesterday formal
notice Of the acceptance Of the propo-
sition had not come to Bowen from
the representatives Of the allies here
However, such unofficial information
as reached Bowen confirmed him in the
belief that the pending controversy
would be settled "soon and satisfac-
torily."
