FOG CAUSE OF TIT
Rear End Collision Near Camden This Morning on Elevated
 Tracks
THREE PERSONS KILLED

Camden, N. J., Dec. 27.-Three persons were killed and seventeen in- jured in collision on the elevated tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad 1 just outside the station here to-day when Pemberton accommodation train ran into the rear of an Atlantic City express. A heavy fog was the principal contributory cause of the | accident.
 The dead are: c. H. Brown, Moorestown, N. J., J. l.. Garbarlnl, Mount Holly, N. J., T. L. Webster, Merchantville, N. J.
 All those killed or injured were passengers in the first car of the Pemberton train.
 Several of the injured may die.
 The trains involved were the eX- press from Atlantic City and tho Pemberton accommodation train. They are due in the Camden station at S:31. There was very thick log when the accident occurred and it is believed that this is the primary CcuSc Ol IuC COllloloh
 The express train was made up Of two baggage cars, one parlor car ana three coaches and the accommodation train consisted of combination car and four coaches. Both trains, it is said, were running cautiously as they approached the station. The Atlan- tic City train was due to arrive first and it was stopped just as it was about to enter the station. The en- gineer of the Pemberton train because of the fog did not see the Atlantic City train, it is said, until he was close upon it. He damned brakes down but it was too late. The tralns came together with considerable force. The tender of the Pemberton train telescoped the first car Of 'ts train killing three persons and inJur- ing at least four. The rear car Of the Atlantic City train was wrecked but not so badly as the first car on the PembertOn train. So far as known no one was killed on the At lantic City train, but about a half dozen persons were injured. The wreckage immediately took fire from the hot coals from the Pem- berton locomotive and the fire de- partments of Camden were called into service. The fact that the colli- sion occurred on the elevated struc- ture made the work of rescue dittl- cult. The rescuers could not reach the structure from the street but had to go to the wreck from the sta tion at the foot of Market street.
 All available help from the station and men from the railroad yards and shops were pressed into service and the injured were quickly taken from under the mass of wreckage and con- veyed to the Cooper hospital and the West Jersey hospital. The fire Was extinguished before it reached any of the victims pinned under the wreck age. One of the dead was identified as T. l.. Webster. of Merchantville. x. J.
 None. of the cars left the elevated structure.

FORESTERS' REPORT.
Committee Is at Work On One for
 the Public.

The Foresters' doctors committee Is preparing statement as to why the courts decided to bring in phy- slcians from other towns and enter into contracts with them to attend to sick members. It is understood that the report will go into the mat ter in detail and explain the situa- tion more fully than ever. A mem Der of the committee told Democrat reporter to-day that the thing was nothing which the societies sought. but when the glove was thrown in they saw no alternative but take it up. They did this and now that the fight is over he felt that the public profited thereby. He was not pre- pared to say what was being done towards bringing about a reduction of prices for office and house calls, but he said that these things have been talked of and that he hoped to see the office visits dropped to 50 cents and house calls reduced to S1.

HAS TWO HUSBANDS
MIddletown Woman will Try to Have Marriage AnDulled in
 Superior Court.

Middletown, Dec 27.-Mr and Mrs Roland G. Williams of this city have brought a petition to the January term of the superior court to have their marriage annulled and the case offers many unusual features. Mrs Williams as she has been known was born in a small town in Scotland not far from Glasgow. Her maiden name was Mary McCabe and she is now about 23 years old. When IT she married a man near her home town who was the owner of horses and the frequenter of race tracks. Their married life was unhappy and shortly after the birth of her child the wife left the husband and went home to her folks. It became necessary for her to make her own living and she decided to try her fortune in this country. Leaving the child in the custody of her parents she came to America four years ago. While l1V- ing in New Haven she became ac- Quainted with Williams, who paid uGI dLlSuIlOu duu uh1iiy pioPo'SN marriage. About this time her sis ter in Scotland wrote and told her that her husband was dead. She accepted the proposal of Williams, said nothing about her supposed widowhood and allowed Williams to think of her as single woman. The marriage proved very happy. About a year ago Mrs Williams, who was then resident of Middletown, her husband being superintendent or construction for the Middletown dis tr:ct of the Southern New England Telephone Co, had longing to see her child and parents again and re- turned to Scotland for visit. She had been in the old country about week when she learned that her hus- band was still alive and that he was living in Glasgow. It also became known to him that his wife was at the home of her parents and he sent word that he was going to see her. Mrs Williams did not give him an opportunity to do so, but returned at once to this country. She did not see fit at this time to make knOWn cOnOlllOHS lO HeI HuSbdhu' Early in December Mrs Williams learned that her husband had taken possession of her child and that he was about to sail for this country. She then made known her history to her husband. lney consulted Judge Cramer of Portland, who advised an immediate separation and legal steps were taken for the annulment of the marriage to Williams. Mir and Mrs Williams broke up their home in Grand street, where they were keep ing house, after which they lived apart. The purpose Of the first hus- bands visit to America is not known, but it is supposed that he has come here in search of his wife. He is said to be in New York at present.
 Williams is about 30 years old and is highly regarded by his friends and acquaintances. He is at present in Saybrook experimenting some work for the telephone company.

Pine Street Controversy
Goes Ouer Until Today;
Some Fine Points LnuoLued

for the handsome new building right
where the city thought the street
ought to be.
Quite an excitement was created
and Mayor Donald called a special
meeting of the city council to inquire
into the situation and they visited the
place in body but could not reach
any definite understanding of how
the matter stood and the board APP
pointed committee to further inves-
tigate and report to a meeting held
last night at 1880, but at that time it
was impossible for some of the mem
bers ITO rbe present so the meeting
was postponed until this afternoon at
2 O'Clock when they will make final
settlement Of the controversy.
The whole trouble seems to be a

From the present status of the Pine

of it as the city has already placed
the sewerage and were about ready to
begin the paving work when the con-

Stevens Bros. have owned for a

the Gulf and Ship Island road and
when the city desired to open Pine
street further out these gentlemen
offered to donate the land for the
street right of way provided the city
would extend the sewer and pave the
street which was agreed upon, but
when the time came to start the paw

TEACHERS normal
Being AGIIA7ED
SUPERINTENDENT POWERS is
URGING ITS ESTABLISHMENT.
Has Abundant Data Showing Need
Of Such an instItution-Bette
Teachers Needed in the Public
Schools Of the State.
Daily News Special.

jackson, Miss, October 25.-Su-
perintendent of Education ]. N. Pow
ers, has determined to make every
effort to secure the establishment of
state normal training school in this
state. The State Teachers Associa-
tion has systematically worked for
this result for the past six or eight
years. They have recommended its
adoption to the Legislature and have
urged it as the desideratum of the
educational system of the state.
Superintendent Powers has the
data in hand to show the necessity
for such an institution. He has also
the data to show that Mississippi is
far behind the procession of other
states in this great necessity. Com
mittees appointed by former conven-
lions of the state teachers have urged
upon the legislature that they have
Systematically overlooked the fact
that the stream cannot rise beyond it's
source; that the teachers of the state
can be no better than the opportu-
mites offered them. They are too
poor to visit other states, too poor
to spend years of preparation in nor.
NAL schools outside of Mississippi.
Therefore the only teachers we have
In the state are those who possess,
as a general rule, merely a common
school education, OF course It can b.
shown that the common schools Of
Mississippi have many points beyond
those OF surrounding states. The ed.
ucational advantages offered by the
public schools of the state are equal
In most respects to the same class of
schools wherever they may be found:
but 1t is true also, the superintendent
claims, that the course of the COM
mon schools Is not adapted to, nor in.
augurated for the training of teach
ers. 1t is simply designed to give the
scholars the best education possible
In the limited time and with the linn
TIED means and teachers available. Ev-
cry conscientious teacher feels the
need of preparation. They never
reach the point where they can say
they know enough, and their ambi-
ton is never to be gratified, for there
is still something else to be learned,
no matter how learned, they may be-
come.
There are many members of the
next legislature committed on the
proposition of establishing a splendid
ly equipped training school fof teach
ers. 1t would be worse than useless,
the teachers claim, to establish an
inferior institution. Nothing can be
gained by mediocre school. What
is demanded by the situation is a
normal training school first-class in
every particular, where high school
teachers can be equipped for better
work and where every grade of teach.
er can be trained for his or her par
ticular class of work.

well sermon of Rev. Solomon, who has
been conducting one of the greatest

text was taken from the eighth verse !:
IF God is for us, who is against us?''
and the speaker dwelt long and elo-
quently upon this. great and import

The strongest point made by the
minister was that the church should
have no cut and dried covenants, but

as best it could and as laid down in
the Bible.
When'the doors. of the church were
opened no one went up to be united
which was possibly due to the fact
that those who intended joining had
already been up and signifed their
willingness.
The baptising will occur tomorrow
afternoon at 3 o'clock and the usual
Sunday service will be held at the
church
At the close of the meeting last
night collection was taken up for
the purpose of building a house of
worship and $4,000 was raised in a
very few minutes which will be in
creased in very few days to the nee
