Came Together.

NEW YORK, July 1.-Two men

persons were injured in a rear-end
collision of two trains last night on a
roller coaster at Palisades park in New
Jersey, across the Hudson river from
town New York. Arthur Olson of
Bronx borough died soon after being
extricated from the wreckage of the
two trains ON the coaster and Frank
Leelair of Manhattan died in the hos
pital. A score are suffering from brok-
Ell bones and internal injuries.
The accident occurred after the first
train of two ears had ascended the first
incline and descended to the dip be-
yond, where it was cradled when the
electrically propelled cable failed to
carry it up the next slope The see
ond train of two ears meanwhile reach
ed the top of the first incline and
dashed down the dip into the stalled
first train. The occupants Of the two
trains were thrown from their seats
to the wooden structure Is feet above
the ground, to which many fell
The cries of the injured caused a
panic in the park and among the in
cured were many who rushed to the
scene of the accident and We're crushed

officials were unable to explain the
cause of the failure OF the safety de-

FARM DEAL HEARD
BY JUDGE WATERMAN
Injunction Denied, but Restraining Or
der Issued in Trespass Suit-Sev-
eral Complications.

Judge E. l.. Waterman heard Sat
urday the petition of Henry c. STRAIT
ton against Clifford NJ and Robert l.
Holbrook for an injunction restrain
lug them from disposing OF a certain
farm which Stratton claimed to have
bought by auction and paid for and
to restrain a trespassing suit brought
against linn by William s. Allen and
George L. Gleason for pasturing cattle
on the farm.
Judge Waterman denied the motion
for an injunction, holding that the
property was in the hands of re-
ceiver and should remain there until
the final disposition of the case, but
he issued a restraining order against
the trespass suit which has been taken
TO the county court.
The case is a complicated one and
grows out of the sale of the Holbrook
farm by auction to Stratton and the
alleged failure Of Stratton to pay the
purchase price within the time limit
set by the terms of the sale Pas
turage rights had been given by the
Holbrooks to Gleason & Allen and one
of the Holbrook brothers declined af-
ter the sale to sign over the deed to
the farm on the ground that the price
had not been paid at the Stipulated
time, although the agent of the broth
ers received and accepted the money
from Stratton.
Attorney E. w. Gibson appeared for
Stratton, II. q. & T. L. Barber for
Clifford NJ. Holbrook, Judge A. F.
Sehwenll for Robert l. Holbrook, Al
bert w Butler for Gleason & Allen
and William r. Daley for Judge f. L.
Hastings, who had been made re-
ceiver of the property. The ease will
now be heard in county court.

GARMENTS UNION OBJ
JECTS TO ARBITRATOR
Attorney James H. Vahey Represents
5000 Employees at the Conference
Which is Being Held to Secure an
Amicable Settlement of Trouble.

BOSTON, July "A crisis in the
street railroad situation seemed to
have been reached today, when the
representatives of the Boston Elevated
Railroad company and the Carmen S
union met a committee of the Chamber
of Commerce in an endeavor to reach
an amicable settlement that threatens
to tie up practically the whole metro
politan electric system. James l..
Richards, a director of the company,
appeared for the company, and Attor-
ney James II. Valley represented 5000
employees. The executive board of the
union is also in session, prepared to
give Mr.. Yahey any instructions he
might desire on points developed at
the conference. The objection of the
union to allowing Mayor Fitzgerald to
name a third arbitrator to act with
those chosen by the union and the com
pany is the principal obstacle in the
way of an amieable settlement of the
mems demand for increased wages.

RAILROAD HOUSES
BEING TORN DOWN
Tenants on Vernon Street Have Sc
cured Quarters ElSewhere-Order
Issued Over Year Ago.

Workmen for Holbrook, Cabot &
Rollins corporation are engaged in
tearing down the five houses on Yer
non street from which the several ten
ants were recently compelled to move
as the result of ejectment proceedings
brought by the Central Vermont rail
road. The railroad owns the property
and the families have been living in
them rent free over a year, since the
first notice to vacate was issued. The
order was ignored alike by the rail
road and the residents because of the
fact that prospective work on the gen
eral improvements was delayed at the
time.
The families who have occupied the
houses have found tenements else
where, with one exception, largely
through their own efforts and not
through any organized movement

Fighting Between Former AL

and Deadly
BULGARIA'S STRATEGY
CHECKS THE GREEKS
in Ten Days Fighting Against Bull
paign Against the Moslem Empire.

LONDON, July AFTER 10 days
fighting more severe and deadly in
character than anything in the last
Balkan war; little light begins to
break upon the hitherto obscure opera
tions. In the first place the Servians
have lost more men than in the whole
previous campaign and semioffieial
statements issued at Belgrade have the
appearance of an intention to prepare
the public for news of a disaster.
Desperate fighting, with tluctuating
fortunes, is proceeding along the Var
dar and Bregalinitza rivers, which
seems to be in favor of the Bulgarians.
Important news has been received of
the Bulgarian invasion of Servia
through Belogradchyk, about 45 miles
northeast of Nish, Servia s most impor-
tant fortified town. No indication is
given of the strength of the Bulgarian
column at this point, but the Bulgar
ians claim to have defeated the Ser
vians and captured five guns and a
quantity of other war material, and by
the occupation of the passes to have
opened the road to Nish.
There is heavy fighting also between
the Servans and Bulgarians to the
of Kotchanda About 100000 men are
engaged and the losses on both sides
appear to be terrible.
Bulgaria IS strategy seems to be to
hold the Greeks in check, probably
with comparatively small forces, while
she deals with Servia.
This assumption, if correct, would
explain the victorious advance of the
Greek army.
Uneonfirmed reports credit the Bul-
garians with victories near Koprili, Civ
ing them the key to Uskup and with an
outfanking movement from the south
of Tahynos lake, which would cut off
the Greek retreat.
Saloniki dispatches continue to re-
port Greek victories.
The Greeks are said to have captured
16 guns at Doiran. Evidence of des-
perate fighting is found in the arrival
