Caught Between Car and Pillar-Two Women Bu- ried in the Debris Per. haps Fatally Injured.

New York. July 1.-Two young wo- men were probably fatally hurt and their two male companions had a re- markable escape from injury to-day when the automobile of Frederick l.. Marshall of St Louis, which had been borrowed by MT Marshalrs chauffeur, was caught between an elevated rail way pillar and street car. The auto mobile was reduced almost to scrap iron.

The girls were twisted up with the wreckage of car and automobile and so deeply burned that it took half an hour with tools from a street railway repair wagon, 10 extricate them. The engines speed was so quickly stopped that a male companion of the chauffeur was thrown through the air 10 the side walk The driver was uninjured. Nearly all the occupants of the street car were thrown upon the floor and the conductor was so severely injured that he was taken 10 hospital.

WOULD BE FATAL
Russia Must Accept Peace Terms That Will Not
 Affect Her Dignity.

St Petersburg. July 1.-The Novoe Vremya today prints the following statement of Russias position, which may be inspired:
 Russia can consent only to such a peace as will not affect the dignity or vital interests of the empire. To act otherwise would be fatal to Russia and would threaten all Europe. Europe no longer believes in Japan's surrances that she will not restrict European in- terests in the far east. Even in Eng land and America the voices of moral instigators can be heard in favor of the indirect interference of the powers to moderate Japan's demands. Our plenipotentiaries must remember that they must defend the interests not only of Russia but also of the other Caucas- ian powers and they will find moral support in Berlin, Paris, Washington and perhaps even in London. Our army in the field is much stronger than it was fifteen months ago.
 The Hamburger Nachrichten pro poses that Europe intimate to Japan that extreme demands will be resisted by Europe in general. especially Ger. many. This is valuable statement We must ascertain the acceptable maximum of our concessions to Japan from the European point of view and act accordingly"

 ville-Trains Late.

Terryville, July 17.-By the break ing of fiange on the wheel of a flat car of the 6:30 east-bound freight this morning, the worst wreck that has oc- cured at this point in years was caused.

The car with the broken fange left the track fifty feet west of the railroad bridge. It passed over the bridge safe ly, but splintered the ties in its prog ress. Beyond the bridge six cars loaG- ed with soft coal left the rails and were badly smashed, their contents being strewn along both tracks and twisting the rails fifteen feet out of line. No one was hurt

Fierce Animal Escaped From Cage
 and Injured Several.

Colorado Springs. Col, July 1I.-More than 1000 people and four passenger trains on the Colorado Midland rail- road have been held at tunnel No 6, two miles west of Manitou, by fierce South American jaguar. Before he was captured the animal clawed Jos eph. Bennett of this city, cutting se- were gash across the right leg. Miss Belmont. passenger on .One of the trains, became frightened and in en- deavoring to scale a high cliff fell 6 distance of twenty feet, breaking her left leg.
 The jaguar and a polar bear occu pied two compartments in large cage that was loaded upon a fiat ear of the train belonging to circus. The cage was too high to enter the mouth of the tunnel and as the cage struck the roof of the tunnel it was torn off. The keeper threw on the air brakes, stop ping the train. He threw rocks at the bear and fired blank cartridges at the jaguar to keep them from escaping. The animal crawled under the car and during the efforts 10 drive it into an- other cage Bennett received his in- juries. The animal was finally driven into a small cage. but before the door could be closed the train started and the jaguar again leaped for liberty. It dashed through the tunnel, but upon emerging at the other side found itself in q narrow cut. After some effort the animal was again captured and placed in his cage.

THE GUNBOAT DUBUQUE
 AGROUND AT HORSESHOE
An Unsuccessful Attempt Was Made to Float the Vessel at Low Tide-Word Was Then Sent to the New York Navy Yard for Towboats to Pull the Dubuque Into Deep Water

Highlands of Navesink, \. J., July 1.-The UniIed States gunboat Du- buque is aground in the Horseshoe, lower New York bay near Spermacettl Cove. The wind is light and sea smooth. The vessel is in no danger.
 The United States steamer Ordnance was the first to respond to the call for assistance. She went down from Sandy Hook and put line out to the Dubuque. z
 An unsuccessful attempt to float the Dubuque was made when the tlde was at the highest point this forenoon. Everything which could be easily re moved from the gunbOat. including the heavy whaleboats and launches, mad been taken off before the effort was made. It was thought that the gun boat would easily work off under these conditions without the assistant Of tugs. but it quickly became apparent that her engines were powerless 10 re move her from the bed in which she rested. It is expected that towDoats will be in readiness to try to float the Dubuque at the next favorable oppor- tunity.
 The Dubuque is gunboat of the latest type, has two pole masts ana two stacks standing nearer the foremaSt' her bow is slightly curved. She came here for orders prior to her going up the Mississippi river to Iowa. Alter the unsuccessful attempt to float the Dubuque. her commander sent wire less message to the New York navy yard for towboats.
