helped Southern trade, inducing freer
marketing and charging country trade

come from the central West and At

ditions have improved. Something
like an unfavorable cross current Is
visible in the Northwest, where car
congestion and overlooking country ele-

marketing of wheat. The gram trade

MONEY CAUSES A SCANDAL.
Vanderbilt Declared to Have Said
Marlborough Wanted 'Barrel"


The real trouble which has led to the
separation of the Duke and Duchess of
Marlborough. formerly Consuelo Wander
bilt, as member of the Vanderbilt fam
lily expressed it, is that ''the duke want
ed barrel of money on tap all the time"
This opinion is confirmed by those who
are familiar with all the details of the
unhappy relations existing between the
couple. The marriage settlement of So
100000 is considered to have been ample
by every one except the duke. Among
themselves society leaders freely gossip
about the quarrel. Sympathy is all with
the duchess and her children. If the duke
has neglected tie duchess for a protege
of his wife friends of the duchess say it
only illustrates his character. The wife's
friends believe the duchess has taken the
proper course in insisting on a separation
and they would support her Loyalty if she
went further and demanded a divorce.

sengers were aboard, almost all of
them crowded into the first and second

Among the passengers were twenty

ws.er Twenty Feet Deep.
The Thoroughfare divides Abescon
Island, on which Atlantic City is sit
uated, from the mainland. The bridge
is half mile from the center OF the
city. The water at that point was
twenty feet deep at the time of the ac-
cident, it being foOd-tide.
The entire city was thrown into a
state of excitement as the news reach
ed town. Fully 5000 persons crowded
the Meadows and the trestle. many
relatives and friends of the passengers
crying out in despair.
Chief of Police Maxwell had a cor

A number of persons were rescued
from the cars, badly injured and al
most drowned. and were taken to the
hospital in Atlantic City. 1t is be-
lieved most of them will die. Their
rescue was accomplished by means of
most daring work. At the peril of
their lives men leaped into the water
and fought with the tide TO save those
imprisoned within the cars.
The third car, which fell near the
bank, was not entirely submerged at
first. although the rising tide quickly
swept over il. Holes were cut through
the roof and a few persons were drag
ged out by this means.
The accident was witnessed by many
people and rescue work was prompt.
Strong swimmers endeavored to dive to
the submerged cars in search of bodies,
but so swift was the tide that they
were forced 20 desist. Professional
divers were then secured, who donned
their armor and went down. But even
they were unable TO do anything
against the tide that swirled around
the sunken coaches.

TRAPS FOR SEVENTY.
Fall Into Arm of Sea-Many Sub
merged in Twenty Feet of Water
Vehicles Leap Track Near At
Iantic City.

Probably seventy persons were
drowned Sunday by being plunged into
the Thoroughfare-an arm of the sea
ON the outskirts of Atlantic City, n.
]. They were trapped in the three
cars of an electric train from Camden
on the West Jersey and Seashore Rail-
road. A twisted rail hurled the train
from the bridge over the Thoroughfare
to the water, fifteen feet below Few
of the 100 or so passengers escaped.
The catastrophe was even worse
than the Meadows wreck of July 30,
1896. The road on which the wreck
occurred is the New Jersey branch of
the Pennsylvania. The train left
Camden at l O'clock and was due at
Atlantic City at 2 80 Most of the
passengers had crossed the Delaware
River ferry from Philadelphia to Cam
den.
Little Chance for Escape.
For most of the passengers there was
no opportunity of escape. The electric
was running at good speed, although 1t
had slowed down somewhat to cross
the bridge. AS the first car struck the
twisted rail it leaped from the track,
bumped along the ties for few feet
and plunged over the trustle to the
water. 1t dragged the second coach
with it. The rear car struck an abut-
ment, which held it back for an in
slant, and then slid into the water.
This brief delay allowed few persons
to escape.
A number of men and few women
