EXPECT ONE DEATH

WELLINGTON. n. J.. June 5.-The
BernardsviHe express on the Lackawan-
ma railway, due here at S:26, and carry
ing many New York commuters. was
ditched today several hundred yards
west OF the MiIlington station. Spread
ing rails are believed to have caused the
wreck
Five persons were injured. and it Is
believed one Of the victims will die.
The escape Of the other passengers is
considered almost miraculous. Two OF
the coaches turned upside down and
rolled over a slight embanB .uent. There
were more than 800 persons on the de-
rallied train.
The list OF injured:
Leon EmmOns, brakeman; may die:
fractured leg ard internal injuries;
taken to Summit Hospital
+. =. Olcott, Of BernardsvilIe, former
president OF the Central Trust Com
pany. OF New York; arm broken; taken
home,
George BeIlantine. Gladstone, n. J.;
scalp injuries: taken home.
A ". Howell. BernardsvilIe; frac-
tured loot: taken home.
5. w. Sweeckhardt. BernardsvilIe; in
ternal injuries: taken home
Two Italian track laborers injured by
flying debris, taken 10 hospital
At the time OF the accident the express
was travelling at the rate Of fifty miles
an hour. The train is popularity known
aS The Millionaires' Express"
Another theory in regard TO the accl-
dent is that IL was caused by structural
weakness Of the rails. New and heavier
rails recently had been laid up 10 the
point where the accident occurred. Il
Is figured that when the train left the
heavy rails and rolled on 10 the lighter
rails the latter gave way under the
srrain.

Charles II. Brent, of the Philippines, to-
day wired his declination of the bish-

Bishop Brent's telegram, which was
received this morning by the Rev. Dr.
Randolph McKim, president OF the
standing committee Of the diocese. gave
no indication of his reasons for declin-
ing the Washington bishopric, hut the
impression among the clergy and lay
members of the diocese IS that he did
not feel that he could leave his work
IN the islands.
The declinatiOn Of Bishop Brent to ac-
Cept the Washington bishOpric, made
vacant by the death of the late Bishop
