FOG BLAMED FOR WRECK.
Two Trains Meet on the Pennsylvania
Road

Three persons were killed and more
than dozen others injured in rear
end collision on the elevated tracks
Of the Pennsylvania railroad Friday, a
short distance from the station in
Camden Junction, Pa. Several of the
injured may die.
The cars were so badly smashed it
was several hours before the exact
number of persons caught in the
wreck was known. Fire added to the
difficulties of the work Of rescue.
The trains involved were the ex-
press from Atlantic City and the Penn
berton accommodation train. These
trains were due in Camden at S:3t
There was very thick fog when the
accident occurred and it is believed
this condition is the primary cause of
the collision.
The trains came together with con-
siderable force. The tender of the
Pemberton train telescoped the first
car of its train, killing three persons
and injuring at least four. AS far as
known no one was killed on the At
lantic City train, but about half
dozen persons were injured
The wreckage Immediately took fire
from hot Goals from the Pemberton
locomotive and the police and fire de-
partments of Camden were called into
service.

BANKS IN FINE CONDITION.
Excellent Reports Received from New
York Institutions.

Reports from twenty-nine state
banks in New York, pursuant to the
call of the state bank superintendent
for statement of their condition Dec.
10, have been received thus far. Near
ly all reflect on the reimbursement Of
loans and deposits made necessary by
the recent financial stringency, but the
shrinkage in cash reserves is smaller
than might have been expected. 1t
is a noteworthy fact that only one
bank shows it had clearing house GER

eral, the statement shows the state
banks hold ample reserves, and several
of them have larger sums on hand
than the law requires.

MARINES IN RIOT.
Norfolk Police Have Lively Struggle
with Navy Yard Men.

Boisterous celebration of Christmas
by marines in the navy yard and train
ing stations at Norfolk, Va, necessi-
tated the calling out of the entire po-
lice force Wednesday nighth. The ma
rines who were celebrating the holiday
in squads from fifteen to thirty had
frequent collisions with negroes, who
stood their ground at times, and rough
and tumble fights occurred. The wide
area the marines covered handicapped
the reserves.
Recently the recruits at the training
school have had tits with the negro
servants, and tonight's demonstration
is attributed to this fact.

GOTHAM'S CRIME WAVE.
All Records Broken During the Past
Year.

Notwithstanding that there are six
criminal courts in operation in New
York City, they cannot keep pace with
the crime wave which has swept over
the city during the last year. The
criminal calendar today carries 1,271
cases, while year ago there was on
the calendar but SAL cases. There are
323 prisoners in the Tombs awaiting
trial. A year ago there were but 191
prisoners. Today's figures break all
records in New York. District Attor-
ney Jerome says the increase is due
to the natural increase in population
in New York City.

Just as Henry Labouchere had been
appointed secretary to the British EN-
bassy at Constantinople his chief, Lord
Hammond requested him to proceed
to Constantinople without delay. But
this arrangement did not suit Mr.. La
bOuchere, and a week later his chief
saw him strolling leisurely along the
Strand. The latter glared menacingly
upon him and hurried OH to his club.
A very peremptory letter was the re-
suit but Air. Labouchere guessed the
nature of the message and recognized
the writing so he did not open the en-
velope, but placed it in the tail pocket
of his coat. Then he set off for little
holiday at Baden-Baden, and when he
had been there for week or so he
opened the letter.
"Now," he remarked to n friend,
"you can appreciate my foresight in
placing Hammond's letter in my tail
pocket, for | shall write him as fol-
lows:
"'My lord, have just read your let
ter, which followed me to Baden-Ba-

regarded as wholly satisfactory by
Lord Hammond who until he received

Words You Write, but Never Say.
There are words you never say, but
often write, says the London Chroni-
Gle. And the contrast between French
and English struck this writer when
listening to a French tailoring man"
who made a speech in literary French,
for the public speaker in France has
no difficulties in the matter of words,
even though he evince his southern
origin in slight differences of pronun-
citation. The language Of the platform
and of the press is one, but not, alas,
in England. One could make quite a
long list of words that are common
enough in print but fairly beat the
man who thinks he is going to say
them on platform. For example,
"succinct' is a common word in print,
but the man who looks to fluent speech
would boggle at it. In fact, no one
even speaks the word. And, though
Brobdingnaglan is familiar enough in
black and white, has even Lord Rose
berry ventured on its vocal production?
We don't say these things, as the lady
said.

HAWAII AND BRYAN

More power to the Democrats of

nomination of William J. Bryan.
This candidate for Presidential
honors is one of at least two Demo-
Gratis who recognize that Hawaii is
On the map. and that the Pacific is
the theater of the worlds future ac-
tivities. The other one is Hearst,
but he is so hard to locate these days
that his partiZanship is more difficult
to describe than the Civic Fedora
ZIONIST whose organ tells him he has
been licked and doesn't know 1t.
Bryan is one of the men properly
classed as friendly to Hawaii. because
he understands the situation in the
Pacific by personal contact.
We have little fear that he will be
elected, but he is a great man and
Hawaii cannot do better than Eo.ae
of the wise heads OF the mainland
who endeavor to see to 1t that proper
men are put at the head of each
ticket
