IN THD OUTER HARBoR.

Cherbourg, France, Oct 24.-The ad- vance guard of the Russian second Pa. scific squadron, consisting of torpedo abOatS, is in the outer haTbor. The main lsquadron is expected here, but it is not yet certain whether the warships will enter the harbor. The vessels which first arrived here were not with the larger ships when the latter fired Oh the British fishing boats in the North sea Saturday morning. Therefore 1t is not yet possible to obtain the Rus sian version of the affair.
 The Russian torpedo boats are sur- rounded by guard boats and the utmost vigilance is maintained. No person Is permitted to approach them and no person is allowed to come ashore ex- cept the postman. The boats are fur nished with the wireless telegraph equipment They took on provisions from the transport Korea. During last night and this morning the vigilance was redoubled, owing to fears of Jap ianese ships being in the channel. Three Russian torpedo boats and the trans. port Korea headed out to sea during the day, probably for the purpose of communicating with the main squad ron
 The newspapers here report that the torpedo boats received wireless tele. gram from the Russian flagship yes- terday evening warning their com manders to exercise extra vigilance, as it was feared that Japanese attempt might be made on the squadron while in the channel.

REAR END WRECK.
Worcester Trolley Cars Collide on
 Slipperx Rails.

WORCESTEk, Mass, Oct. 24.-Trol- ley cars in rear end collision on the Westboro and Marlboro street railway, two and one-half miles west of West boro, injured eighteen people
 The injured are: Edward w. Paine, car, right wrist and arm badly sprain- ed and suffering from shock; John D. Mahoney, Worcester, motorman on Worcester Consolidated car, right leg and hip bruised and suffering from shock; Edward N. Malet, conductor on Worcester Consolidated, shaken and bruised; Charles w. Clifford, Westboro, right side bruised; Frank B. Cutler, Westboro, both ankles injured, and fourteen other passengers were more or less injured.
 Slippery rails are accountable for the accident. A Worcester Consolidated Street railway car used on the Wor- cester and Marlboro division was being sent to Worcester for repairs by the way of the Westboro and Marlboro tracks, for the reason that the tracks were torn up in Northboro on the Wor- cester Consolidated tracks during state road construction.
 The car being sent to Worcester for repairs was in charge of Conductor Malet and operated by Motorman Ma honey. It left Westboro several min utes ahead of the regular car of the Westboro and Marlboro line due to leave Westboro at 9:35. Its progress was sure and safe until making the hill near the Fay place, when the car kicked, and before the motorman could get control of it it was running backward down the hill
 At the foot of the hill at curve 1t was met by the regular car from Marl- boro to Worcester, which was making good speed to climb the hill.
 The cars crashed together with ter rife force, demolishing the vestibules on both cars and ripping every seat from it's fastenings on the Westboro car, which had twenty passengers aboard. There were no passengers on the other car. A panic among the pas sengers followed the crash in the frantic effort of the people to get out of the wreckage
 Motorman Mahoney was caught un- der the controller, which fell upon him. Motornan Paine jumped and was in jured when he struck the road. Con- ductor Malet also jumped and was bad Iy bruised.

THE WATER METER TALK
 OPENS UP BIG QUESTION:
Small Consumers Will Have to Bear Bulk of Cost if Present Rates Are Kept Up-Present Water Supply Was Intended for Domestic Use and Not for Fac tory Purposes.

The water question was the princi- pal topic about town the past few days and 1t will be until the matter is set tied, something which is not likely to happen very soon, for it is big lob and the deeper the city government delves into it the more it will be con- v1nced that it is hard to make changes m the water rates and improve upon the present. system. Some claim that the installation of meters will settle the whole trouble, but this is a mis- take. Meters are all right, but before they are put into general use the alder men should agree upon rates. If the meters come ahead of the revised rates the situation will be worse than ever and thousands will carry heavier burdens than belong to them. The me- ter system with the present rates would be simply an encouragement to large consumers to use more and a check upon the small customers. The city should look out and see that the working people are not deprived of an abundance of water at prices which will put the article within their reach Money might be made out of curtail- ing the use of water for domestic pur- poses, but after the city had accom- plished this it might have to put it out again caring for people who were stricken down by maladies brought on by uncleanliness for lack of water. If the worst comes it would be better to advance the rates on real estate and keep water at a figure so that the poor est family in town may be able to get all they want of it Nobody drinks too much water and a dripping faucet is so annoying that one would have it repaired for his own sake, if not in the interest of economy, so that all this talk about waste should be taken with a great deal of caution.

snsque Railway Accident.

PHILADELPHIA Oct. 24.-An acci. dent unparalleled in the annals of local railroading occurred in Broad Street station here, and that no one was kill ed or even more than slightly injured is regarded as remarkable. A heavy locomotive, drawing three coaches, each more than half filled, owing to the failure of the air brakes to work crash ed through the buffer built to prevent such accidents, smashed an iron stair way, hurdled two yawning baggage elevator openings, shattered a huge brick arch, broke and twisted big steel girder and came to stop amid a shower of debris at the stationmaster's office.

HOVE, HONOR AND oBEY.' Probably More Difficulty with Theory
 of the Vow Than It's Practical ]. Application.

Every few years newspapers and dfn- ner tables buzz with discussion as to the use of the word "obey" in the mar riage service. Some unfettered spirit refuses to tolerate it, says Youths Com panion, and when she encounters cler- gyman who has positive ideas of his duty to the service of his church, clash ensues which rarely rebounds to the credit of the woman.
 Is there is not more difficulty with the theory of the VOW than with it's actual application to domestic lifethat is, among reasonably considerate and lov- ing people?
 In the home, the wife orders rather more than the husband. To begin with, she orders the dinners, and thus deter mines what the man shall eat. She orders her own clothes, and he must look at them, whether he likes them or not. She orders the manners of the children, and he has little choice In accepting them, whatever they are.
 The practice of hypnotic suggestion is as old as happy marriages; and the journeys that have been taken, the houses that have been bought, and the gifts that have been made as the result Of the obedience of husbands are un- counted. The old song comes daily true, when the woman sings:
 'tWe'lI even let them hold the reins,
 But we'll show them the way to go!''
 This applies to the comfortable jog trot of everyday life. When the sun shines and the pace is easy, it matters little about the reins. But if two peo- pie find themselves behind a pair of frightened runaway horses, their only safety lies in one having the power to drive and the other having the sense to sit fast and keep still. If both take a hand with the reins disaster is cer- tain. It may come in any case, but a divided responsibility invites 1t.
 It is for such an emergency that the promise of obedience by the wife pre- pares the married couple. Tn a crisis, one of them must decide how to act. The husband may decide wrongly or foolishly; but some one must drive, and in doubt or danger the wisdom and courage of the wife are best shown in obeying orders, not in disputing them.

GERMANY,s OPINION.

It is assumed that the Rus sian government will make reparation immediately after receiving the off cial report, which will be telegraphed from some French port probably to- day. The excitement in Great Britain Is regarded here as being fully justi- fable, but the British cabinet, it is be- lieved, will take the view that the deplorable affair was the fault of rash officers.
 German naval officers refer to the incident as evidence that the Russian squadron is badly officered.
