New York, Aug. 15.-One man was killed
outright, a man and a woman died Of
their injuries after being taken TO the
hospital. and four other persons were
hurt seriously as the result of a col
lision this afternoon between a Coney
Island and Brooklyn trolley car and a
dirt train OF the Long Island Railroad.
at the grade crossing OF the Manhattan
Beach line of the Long Island Railroad,
at Parkville
The woman was Mrs. Anna Cohen.
about fifty years old. of 2el Pulaski
street. Brooklyn. The two dead men had
not been identified up to a late hour.
They were each about twenty-five years
old. All the dead and injured received
their injuries because they jumped from
the trolley car. None OF those who re-
manned on the car was hurt.
AT the junction of Coney Island avenue
and the railroad crossing there is a high
fence surrounding a lumber yard and
planning mill. It cuts off all view 10 the
west along the railroad tracks. and 10 the
north along the trolley tracks. A flag
man is stationed at the crossing BY the
railroad company, and conductors OF the
trolley line have to run ahead to the
crossing to signal the motorman when TO
cross.
Train Backing Toward Crossing.
a dirt train Of ten cars. with Sanford
Weeks in charge OF the locomotive. had
been filled a short distance east of the
accident, and was being backed down
slowly toward the crossing. Edward J.
Brisach. a brakeman, was on the rear
end TO give the engineer signals At the
same time the trolley car had come TO a
stop just beside the board fence. which
screened the dirt train from view. Fred
erick Piaty was the motorman, and Gus
tave Keggendorf the conductor. Keggen-
dorf ran to the crossing. where John
Gottschalk was the hagman. The dirt
train was approaching at the rate Of
about three miles an hour.
Through a misunderstanding Of signals
the motorman turned on the current 10
cross. The fiagman ran 10 the car and
tried TO stop it. Then he shouted 70
come on.
ne car EaQ only ABOUT twenty -TlVe per-
sons aboard. It had been loaded heavily.
but large number of children and grown
folks got of at Prospect Park to have an
outing On the first seat Of the car were
| Detectives Dukeshire and Phillips.
Urge Passengers to Keep Seats.
The shouted to the passengers to re-
main seated. They thought the car would
clear the dirt train. and Dukeshire says
that IL the full current had been turned
on it would have done so.
The trolley car had got three-fourths
| across the railroad track. when It was hit
/ by the dirt train. Engineer Weeks had
received n signal from his brakeman 70
so on. The running-board OF the trolley
was smashed, the side OF the car crushed.
and the two last seats doubled ND and
broken. The momentum kept pushing the
rear end of the trolley around, and Il
caught those who dropped off. The car
was pushed about twenty-five feet and
| turned completely around before the df-t
/ train stopped. The injured men were
under the trolley car.

Strikers in Virginia TO Appeal to
State Corporation Commission.

Richmond, Va, Aug. 1.-THE striking
telegraphers decided to-day TO ask the
State corporation commission 70 prohibit
the sending Of messages received by the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph com
panies for transmission by wires through
the United States mails. This application
for an order restraining the companies
from employing the mails IN their bust
ness is based upon section 1924 para
graph 5, Code OF Virginia, which forbids
the use Of channels for the transporta-
ton Of business other than those speci-
fed in the charter Of the companies.
There was no accession TO the ranks OF
the operators from nonunion sources to-
day. The men were this morning paid
their time, and discharged regularly, and
both companies say that none OF the
strikers viii be employed again by the
companies.
That both lines arc seriously crippled IS
self-evident fact Many points both IN
and out Of the state can not be reached
at all Business is being taken subject
TO delay. The clerical force in the Offices
Of the companies who are able 20 handle
business have been pressed into service.

Companies Able to Handle More Bus
iness than They Get.
Boston, Aug. IA careful canvass OF
the telegraph situation in New England
this afternoon shows that things are fast
approaching the normal Outside of Bos-
ton, with few scattered exceptions. the
strike has not been of great proportions.
In this city the companies are now han
ding all the business that is being Of
fered to them without delay in messages.
The only delays that are now expert
enced are caused by delays In other cities
where relays OF messages are necessary
In Boston both companies have enough
operators to take care Of more business
than Is at present being received. Prob
ably they could handle much more. But
business has fallen off very greatly since
the strike was ordered. More branch Of
fees are being reopened daily, and more
are to be opened by the companies If it
is deemed necessary; as there are enough
operators. Five strikers have gone back
TO the Western Union in this city since
Yesterday.

New York. Aug. 15.-Passengers on the
steamship Teutonic.s which arrived from
Southampton this morning. witnessed a
rescue at sea on Sunday. A .coal-trim-
mer, crazed with the heat, rushed from
the stoke-hole and leaped over the rail
Of the main deck. He was picked UP in
record time by a iifeboat in charge of
First Officer Sumner.
II was shortly before o'clock in the
afternoon, and the promenade decks were
crowded with people, who rushed to the
rail IN excitement. wildly cheering the
crew Of the Iifeboat and shouting direc-
tons to the man in the water. Sumner
was in the pilot-house when the cry,
MAN overboard" was raised on deck
and carried from one end of the ship 10
the other. Leaping to the rail, he sized
up the situation at once. and. shouting TO
the pilot 10 throw the helm TO port, or

AS the steamship was not able TO come

less than twenty minutes from the time
he went overheard he was in the lifebOat
which had been Towed a mile astern,

was impossible for the rescue party TO
make out the man in the water until
close upon him. A brisk breeze was
blowing at the time, and the swells were
running high.
Passengers Greatly Excited.
On the decks the passengers, forgetting
IN their excitement that both man and
boat were out Of reach Of their cries,
continued to shout These who had
cameras hurried 10 their cabins 10 get

crew returned they were snapped IN the
boat, and later were made to pose over

they reached him, but he recovered later.
His cold plunge seemed TO have cured
him. Yet he was kept in the sick bay for
the remainder OF the voyage.
