window and we're wandering around
the fields when they met J. M. Lam
berton, Of Harrisburg, a personal
friend, who had been on the same
train. Mr.. Lamberton was unable to
get berth and was travelling to Har-
risburg in day coach. He was prob
ably the only one to escape in the
coach without injury. Mr.. Lamberton
took the young ladies to his home.
The official explanation of the acci-
dent is that the sudden stopping of an
eastbound freight train wrecked a car
and threw 1t across the passenger
track just as the passenger train
dashed by. When the passenger train
was stopped, after striking the freight
one half of 1t had passed the derailed
car In the next freight car was a
cargo of dynamite. When the explo-
sion occurred the dynamite car was
opposite the third sleeping car of the
express. 1t is supposed that the col.

bodies of victims have been conveyed
to the temporary morgue in the center
of the ruined buildings and more are
being brought in momentarily.
The list of dead Is an extremely
long one and must remain necessarily
incomplete as whole families were
wiped out and there are few left to
identify the dead. An instance might
be cited in the case of the Fessenden
family, all seven of whom were taken
from the ruins of their demolished
bone dead. Another is that of viii.

schools, who with his parents, his
wife and their two small children, arc

One of the saddest cases was that OF
Col. Williamson. When the storm
struck Snyder, Williamson grabbed a
woman whom he thought to be his
wife and hurried away to a place of
safety. When out of danger he dis
covered the woman was not his wife.

-FOUR IMPROVEMENTS,

While Mrs. Mollie Damn lies in the hospital suffering from blood poisoning caused by a scratch from an ivy leaf entwined into a Christmas wreath, her business in Grand avenue has been the subject for at least four attachments by creditors.
 1 Mrs. Damn deals in confectionery, to- bacco etc., and since her confinement in the hospital, several weeks previous ito Christmas, it is claimed that there has been no one to care for the busi- ness. Therefore several creditors placed attachments OF the stock and this morning these were added to by another from Frank A. Atwood, a to- lbacconist, through his attorney, Carl A. Mears, The stock is now in charge of a keeper, and an order of sale will be asked for so that the perishable goods may be disposed of. The suits aggregate about six hundred dollars and are returnable before the city court.

The AnnuaI Christmas Jubilee at the
 Seamen's BetheI-BrilIiantIy Ceie-
 Brated-ExtensiOn of the Work of
 the Bethel.
 Theannual Christmas jubilee at the seamen's Bethel Wednesday night was 8 red letter occasion in the history of this beneficent institution, he extent and benefit of whose work in behalf of seamen can hardly be estimated. It was an occasion this year in which not only the sailors. but the wives and families shared, and there were nearly one hundred and fifty people present to enjoy the happy affair. A capital en- tertainment was provided, which con- sisted of character sketches and deline- ations, violin solos and sleight of hand performances all by skilled artists, and there were recitations, songs and in- strumental music. Jack Tar forgot the periis encountered by those who go down to the sea in ships and sail the mighty deep, and good cheer prevailed without stint. The cap sheaf was add ed when the big feast was served. to which the sailors and their wives and children fell to with appetites which a king might envy. Following this the ladies presented each of the seamen with a comfort bag filled with highly useful articles for sailor to use on a voyage. This pleasant affair occurred in the beautiful new chapel of the Bethel
 Ladies identified with the manage ment of this institution are untiring in their work in behalf of the Spiritual needs of the sailors who come to our port, and likewise their families, and much alleviation of suffering is accom- plished By a happy thought the scope of the work of the Bethel was enlarged by an act passed by the last general assembly enabling the association to extend it's work among the families of the sailors, this not being authorized previously. The ladies of the manage ment now render assistance to the fam lilies of the sailors where needed and de vote time once a week also to giving in- struction of various kinds to the sail ors' families Great praise is due the ladies for their efficient and useful and sacrificing labors in behalf of oth- CTS at this benevolent institution and is also due the superintendent and chaplain, MT, Berg, whose efficient work is we'll known and appreciated.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
WHITE CITY FORECLOSURE WILL GIVE LOCALS CONTROL.

Plea in Abatement Filed by Park Com
 missiOners-Mortgages FOreclOsed-
 Writ of AIandamus auashed-In the
 Divorce Court-New Suits Brought.
 The foreclosure brought by the Union Trust Company against the New Ha- ven Seaside Construction company, owners of the White City. has created a surprise, and financier stated yester- day that unless the stockholders re- deem the property it will go to the bondholders, who are New Haveners, and the New Workers will be frozen out of the property.
 E. J. Boyce, of New York, the builder of Dreamland at Coney Island, is the largest stockholder in the company, and he has had charge of the manage ment for the past two years. The first year the property paid well, and of the seventy-two thousand dollars raised in bonds to build the property, twenty-five per cent. was paid, and now there is about flfty-five thousand dollars in bonds outstanding. Last year the property was run at a big loss because of the cool weather and rain. The in- terest on the bonds was not paid, and the Union Trust company is now ap- plying to the court for title to the prop erty.
 It is understood that the bondholders took the stand that MT. Boyce, al f though paid 8 salary to run the White City, had so many irons in the fire that he paid little attention to the work here excepting to direct an agent.
 If the title is granted in the superior court to the Union Trust company. the bondholders no doubt will appoint a committee to take charge of the prop erty and run the place. They will re- ceive the park, which is estimated as worth seventy-five thousand dollars, for about tifty-fve thousand dollars, and thus the New Haveners will have good thing, providing the place pays in the future. The lease on the grounds runs for eight years more The bondholders expect to gain control so as to run the property next summer. They will appoint a manager. Many well known New Haveners are holding the bonds.
 If the title of the property is given foreclosure to the bondholders the New Haven Seaside Construction company goes out of existence, and this would leave the people who have brought suits for damages, because of accident, without anything to satisfy their judg- ments, should they receive any.

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
(continued from Seventh Page.)

(COnI1nueQ -IrOl1 seventh EdSSsJ rowing from Europe, made on time con- tracts some months ago, have provided the needful for the seasons amazing performances on the stock exchange.
 The interest on Wabash debenture As, first passed in July, 1904, was passed again yesterday. It was thought that the Goulds might make a concession to the minority interests by renewing this.
 New Metropolitan stocks on the curb, 'when issued" yesterday experienced a sharp break during the first hour, but latefeS steadied somewhat. The new comm Na sold from 60A to 58al, preferred at 100 And new bonds at 961s to 95. It lookedI a if efforts were being made to press t Ael for sale. Metropolitan se- curitiese Nhs again heavy during the greater D n of the day, while Metro politan Street Railway was steady to firm. Liquidation was clearly going on in the former.
 The October gross of the Missouri Pa- cific decreased $S6S,000 and the net about as much. This explained the weakness in that stock.
 There was aggressive buying of Unit ed States Steel shares after the early break. Much of this was believed to come from banking interests.
 There is plenty of evidence that bank CTS of other cities have been informing z the secretary of the treasury that they do not see why New York city should be singled out as a place where mone- tary relief should be given. The secre- etary has 8 score of millions of United States money that he could let loose if he chose to.
 The railroads have been large lend CTS. It was calculated yesterday that the railroads have fully $45,00O,000 out in Wall street loans. The Great North ern railroad is said to be lending $20,- 100000 and the Canadian Pacific $15,000,- coo.
