THE SUNRISE EXPRESS
 WRECKED AT DURHAM.
Four Cars Were Thrown from the Track and Number of Persons Were lnjure d-Road Was Blocked for a Long Time-lnjured Removed To Boston-students of Agricultural College Rendered Great Assistance

Durham. x. H., Jan 2Q.--The Sun. rise" express, from Halifax and St John. over the western division of the Boston and Maine railroad. was wrecked by q broken rail short dis tance west of the Durham station to day. Four cars were thrown from the track and score or more persons were injured, four seriously.
 Those injured were:
 Miss Belle Donald, Hampton, N B.. severe injuries to head. and shoulder CislOcated.
 Colored porter of Pullman car, who refuses to give name, head and shout ders lacerated and bruised by being thrown through car window.
 Albert Hall, Portland, Me, internal injuries.
 Charles Dunn: Jr, Portland, Me, head and hip injured.
 It is thought all of these will re- cover.
 Seven other persons sustained in. juries necessitating medical attend aDce, and dozen or more sustained cuts and bruises of a minor nature.
 Among these was Mrs Samuel Clark of New York city, whose head was bruised and face injured.
 The train. which was made up of an engine. baggage car, Pullman sleep CT and four passenger coaches. left Halifax at s o'clock yesterday morn i.,.. TNl, t -, i,, evening. The express was late when # passed Durham. station at which t does not stop, and was running at a speed of seventy miles an hour. The forward part of the train passed over the broken iron safely. The four pas, senger cars were thrown from the rails and piled Up in the ditch beside the track. Three of them turned over Oh their sides, but all escaped serious in jury.
 It was some time before all the pas sengers were taken out and the train hands found that no one had beel, killed outright. The most seriously hurt were taken to q club house nearby and to one of the New Hampshire agrl- cultural college buildings. which is also in the vicinity.
 Physicians were summoned from Durham, Dover and Newmarket. and with the local doctors quickly attend, ed to the wreck victims.
 Just before 10 o'clock a special train was made up to convey those pussen gers who were not injured and some of those who were only slightly hurt 10 Boston.
 Traffic was not seriously delayed by the wreck. as it was possible to run al, western division trains bound east by a branch line from Rockingham june, ton to connect with the eastern divis. ;or at Portsmouth. and to send west. bound trains from Dover to Ports. mouth by another branch. It was ex. pectetl that the wreck would be cleared by noon.
 There were about 100 passengers on the train. \ striking feature of the rescue of the imprisoned passengers was effective relief offered by the stu. dents of the New Hampshire state col. lege of agriculture. Practically the en- tire student body turned out to rescue :Ee passengers, including seven female members of the college. who acted as rurses in the caring for and assistance Of the wounded.

How the fire started is not known. as the little building was wrapped in flames when the attention of the employees of nearby casino was directed toward il. There were ne buildings near enough to the burning structure to be endangered by tn. flames and those who had seen the fire apparently thought it not worth while fo turn in an alarm.

THE ST. PETERSBURG
 INCIDENT AT CAPITOL.
Cabegram from Ambassador kc cormick Throws Little Light On Shooting at St. Petersburg Russ an News.
 papers Have Very Little to Say of the Affair In the
 Editorial Columns. s-.- .." >..

Washington, Jan 20.-The only in formation that the state department has officially of the exciting incident at St Petersbury yesterday, is q cable gram dated last evening, and received today from Ambassador Mccormick, stating that during the ceremony of the blessing of the Neva some shots were fired from saluting battery and struck pavilion in which were the czar and the royal family. The ann bassador's telegram does not state whether 1t was design or accident.
 HEADLINES PROMINENT.
 St Petersburg, Jan 20.--Nothing better illustrates the conditions ill Russian journalism than the appear ance of the St Petersburg papers oD the morning after an occurrence which nearly added another violent death to the history of the ruling fam- fly of Russia. There are prominent headlines. but almost no editorial ref. ereDce, and tfS most brief mention possible of the unexpected hail Of grape shot around the little chapel in which the emperor and the Romanor family had gathered for the great re- ligious festival of the Epiphany and blessing the waters of the Neva.
 The account of the stately ceremon- ial prepared by the court marshal is long and rich ill detail, describing the appearance and garb of the individual participants and the progress of events from minute to minute. Appended to this court circular are short para graphs from various papers alluding in the most guarded terms to the ,in- expected danger in which his majesty stood. These add practically nothing to the knowledge of the event. in spite of half days opportunity for inves. tigation Gnd inquiry.
 The Novoe Vremya, which publishes the most extended account. shows that chief interest in the incident followed the second and third shots, but offers no explanation. The paper editorial izes briefly on the inexcusable care lessress of permitting so perilous q happening, and on the general joy at the escape of his majesty and the re. lief to strained nerves. It concludes by expressing the hope that the mirac. ulous escape of the emperor from nor tai danger while engaged in the pious rites of the faith may be an omen that Russia is under like protection; that Providence Is watching over those who live by faith. and that she may euerge in equal safety from the periis in whch she now stands.
 Other papers publish less regarding the event--not even the names of the officers commanding the battery or the artillerymen tending the guns are given. The reader is left largely to draw his own conclusions as to the connection between the sound of the salute and the batter of the balls about the pavilion.

GOES DOWN AGAIN.
For The Sixth Time Section of Track
 Disappears.

Danbury, Jan 20,-To-day, for the sixth time since completed q few weeks ago, a section of the new track of the
 Highland division at storm Lake, \. Y., disappeared in the lake. The sec ton that disappeared is about fifty feet in length. AS the embankment was swallowed by the water small island appeared in the center of the lake many feet away from the railroad and remained there a short time. It then disappeared. This phenomena was caused apparently by the pressure of the earth of the railroad embankment and the mud in the bottom of the lake.

London, July 31.--The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent on board the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, on which
M. White, the Russian peace plenipo-
Tertiary is a passenger, sends an in
terview which he has had with M.
White in which the latter said that II
Russia and Japan had agreed upon a
common basis before appointing peace
plenipotentiaries it would have been
much better. AS 1t was, M. Witte
said, he regarded himself rather as an
imperial courier sent to ascertain the
terms of japan. He was prepared to
make peace, nevertheless, he added, as
his powers were very complete, and he
would discuss the demands based on
Japan's actual military and naval sue
cesses in a business-li1e spirit Of give
and take.
''But cannot and will not" continu-
ed M. Witte entertain demands based
upon expected military successes in
the future. l am conversant with the
humane intentions Of my imperial mas
ter, and / will do anything compatible
with Russia's honor and dignity to es-
tablish that work of which have been
an answering advocate. My first
task, however, in the new world will
be to search for a basis for fruitful
discussion"

WHILE it is doubtless true that there
win have to be change in the Area
mum rates, and the members generally
are willing to pay such amount as Will
make them safe, it is not calculated
to inspire any great amount of conf
dence in the supreme officials to find
the articles in the Newark and Tren-
ton papers regarding the conference
held here last week. AS the members
of the local committee did not give
out the information, and the articles
published are highly colored to make
them sustain the action OF the SUI
preme Council the fair inference is
that the articles were inspired by the
supreme officer. To meet a local COM
mittee for conference and then publish
the conversation as judicial decisions
and forstall the action Of the local
committee and say that they will do
certain things when the committee
has not even talked the matter over,
is too much on the line of special Pied
ing on the part Of lawyer to bolster a
weak cause, and ought not to have
been resorted toby the representatives
of the order. information, net misin-
formation or special pleading is what
the Councils need, and the publications
referred to are unfortunate to say the
least

JERSEY WON ENDEAvOR BANNER
Good Showing Made by the state In
Membership.

New Jersey Christian Endeavorers
are jubilant over the showing made by
the State at the Baltimore convention.
New Jersey was one of twenty-five
States and Territories to report gain
OF 10 per cent. or more i'm membership,
in recognition of which each received
a Japanese silk banner suitably in
scribed. Morris, Hudson, Sussex, Miz-
pahand Middlesex unions each received
/" Progressive pennants" for advanced
work, and 267 New Jersey societies
were honored with place in the
!" Recognition list. !"
The prize banners won by the vari-
GUS States, and including New Jersey,
were made at the request Of the United
Christian Endeayor Union, by the
Christian Endeavor societies of China
and Japan for the special occasion of
the convention, and are fine specimens
of embroidery in silk, combining the
most delicate combinations of colors,
no banners being made alike. The
New Jersey banner is Of purple silk,
with the letters &c. e. " in gold in one
corner, and embroidered on it are wis
terra blossoms and Japanese characters.
The back of the banner has the follow
ing inscription: Worlds Union, In
crease Campaign Banner" The ban
ner was accepted by State President
John t. Sproull for the State.
The banner will undoubtedly be on
view at the state convention in Nor
ristown on October 5 and 6.
When the increase campaign move
ment was started two years ago at the
convention in Denver, it was then de-
cided that the States to receive a gain
Of 10 per cent. or over would be placed
on roll of honor. Last year the an
nouncement was made that banner
would be presented instead. New Ter
sey $ actual increase was eleven and a
quarter per cent.
