WEAVER REMOVES OTHER MEN
Thirty Employees of PhiIadeIphIa's
Bureau of Health Are DiA-
missed from Service.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE only de-
relopment OF importance in Mayor
weaver's crusade for good government was
the dismissal OF thirty employees in the
bureau OF health.
Mayor Weaver today issued a statement
bearing upon the letter signed by twenty
one business men and addressed to Sheriff
Miles, chairman of the republican city
committee, urging the committee to re-
form the republican party. The letter
suggested that new nominations be made
for the fall election.
The mayors statement in part follows:
This injection of paltry politics at this
time is unfortunate. 1t would be treason
70 a holy cause to involve IL in partisan
sons, what parties, or what organizations

RAHN's SYMPATHY EXPENSIVE
Induces Him to Loan Surplus Cash ON
Some worthless
JeweIry.

It cost Adolph Rain, 424 North Six
teenth street, $3.50 last night to show a
fraternal spirit toward B. f. Jones, 2223
Farnam street, who represented himself
as a member of his lodge and as being
in need of financial assistance. Jones was
working in connection with a phony
jewelry man when he ran across Rain
and appealed to his sympathies. He said
that he had just arrived from the east,
but was out of money, and that he had a
trunk at the depot with the greater part
of his earthly possessions in it. He rep
resented that 1t would cost 50 to secure
the trunk and 80 cents to have it hauled.
Rahn's heart was touched and he gave tho
man the amount he requested, first taking
as security a watch chain and charm
which Jones offered him and which were
supposed to be valued at $40, but were In
reality almost worthless
After parting with his money Rain had
reason to feel misglvings and with a
view of giving expression to them he ac-
costed Jones again. Jones professed to
have never seen him before, but his short
memory did not serve to keep him out
of the city jail, for he was arrested by
Onicer Vanderford. He was charged with
obtaining money under false pretences.

TRUST MUST PRODUCE BOOKS
Government Wins Big Point in Its
investigation of the Gem
eral Paper Company.

MILWAUKEE, June 1.-THE General
Paper company, sued by the government
to determine whether it is trust in re-
straint of trade, has lost its contention be-
fore the United States circuit court that
it should not be compelled to produce its
books to supply evidence in response to
the prosecutions search for evidence.
United States Circuit Judge Seaman rem
dered the decision.
Attorney James d. Flanders, representing
the paper company, says he, will. carry the
matter to the circuit court of appeals with
out delay and the company probably will
continue to resist the attempts of the gov
ernment's attorney pending q final adjudlca-
ton of the matter.
The government is completely victorious
in its contention, except that the books
which are to be produced under the court 5
order shall not pass out Of the possess
sion of the defendant. The decision will
be all-important in future prosecutions of
trusts, as well as In the case at hand. The
objection of irrelevancy was raised so fire.
quently that the examination ceased to
make progress, save for information which
the prosecution had succeeded in getting
from other sources. and the court was
finally asked to make the defense answer
and produce books showing the profits
made, the expenses of the corporation, the
manner OF its organization and the like.

EIGHTEEN KILLED IN A WRECK
Head End Collision on Western Mary
land Road Near BaIti-
more.

BALTIMORE, Nd June 17.-By far the
worst wreck in the history of the Western
Maryland railroad occurred this evening at
point about a quarter of a mile from
Patapsco, a small station between Westmin-
ster and Finksburg. At least eighteen peo-
pie are believed to have been killed and a
score more injured.
Passenger train No. 5, westbound was
running at very high rate of speed, when
at the point named, it crashed into double
header freight running east ALI three of
the engines were reduced to scrap iron, the
express and baggage cars were smashed
and number of freight cars were splint-
cred. The passenger coaches sustained lit
tie injury and almost without exception
their occupants escaped with nothing worse
than bad shaking up.
The fatalities and injuries were of the
crews of the engines and to workmen en-
ployed by the railroad. 1t is a remarkable
coincidence that these latter should have
been at work repairing the damages caused
by recent small freight wreck that oc-
CURED at Mount Hope station, near this
city. They were on their way to their
homes, in small towns along the Western
Maryland, to spend Sunday. Not being
regular passengers, they had boarded the
baggage car and engine. When the crash
came, the more fortunate. who were on the
engine, jumped or were thrown from the
train and were only injured. Those in the
baggage car were terribly mangled and the
crews of all three engines were killed.
The first relief train to reach here
brought all the badly injured, and one who
had died on the trip. Those taken from
the wreck dead were taken TO Westminster.
dozen ambulances waited the arrival of
the relief train at the union station and
hurried the injured to hospitals as fast as
they could.
Although all the help that can possibly
be used is at hand, there are dead and
Injured yet under the wfeckage. Those
known to be dead thus far are:
GEORGE b. COVELL, Hagerstown,
Md, engineer of passenger train.
JOHN J. ST. LEDGER, fireman of pas

SITUATION IS. ACUTE
Continued from First PageJ

public mind was distracted between reports
that the two countries were on the eve Of
war that would set Europe ablaze and re-
assuring declarations that diplomacy still
held firm grasp on the situation.
Fortunately the situation was much re-
lieved tonight after a long conference be-
tween Prince Won Radolin, the German ann
bassador to France, and Premier Rouvier,
which took place at the Foreign office. This
distinctly showed that diplomatic inter-
course had not reached a point of rupture.
Moreover 1t is known that exchanges be-
tween Prince Won Radolin and the French
premier, which seemed on the point Of
breaking yesterday, were again brought
within normal channels. At the same
time, alarmist reports had thoroughly
aroused public apprehension that grave
eventualities were possible If not imminent.
The government had not sought to check
a full expression by the newspapers of
their views and this permitted that sec
ton of the press opposed to the govern
| ment to paint the situation in the darkest
colors
Notwithstanding public uneasiness over
these reports there is not the slightest
evidence that France is profoundly moved
or that the people seriously apprehend war.
| None of the exciting scenes that preceded
| the Franco-Prussian war is occurring
| there is no public effervescence, no mob
clamor and no threats of indgnity to Ger
man officials residents. Indeed the Ger
man embassy is one of the most serene
| spots in the French capital and it has not
been necessary to station even a police
guard there.

Germany Reassures France.

BERLIN, June 1855 p m.-The For
eign Office has, the Associated Press learns,
telegraphed to Prince Won Radolin, the
German ambassador at Paris, during the
last day or two in a sense that will be
reassuring to French apprehensions IL such
were felt in the French cabinet Ger
many still presses France automatically
for its acceptance of the proposal to hold
conference of yhe powers on the subject
of Morocco.
The undoubted disturbance of feeling in
Paris over Germany's policy is not trace
able to anything actually aggressive that
the German government has done or is
preparing to do. 1t is probably due to the
feeling of weakness that has suddenly
arisen in France, since Admiral Rojest-
vensky lost the sea fight and the corre-
spending relative increase in German con-
fidence since 1t has become evident that
Russia need not fer the present be reck-
oned with. The thought in the government,
in the army and in the press is that Ger
many, in military sense, has now be-
come master OF the continent, and that be-
ing so, France and every other continental
power should recognize that in diplomacy
also Germany has risen to the first place
and must be dealt with as the paramount
power.
