Capitalism.

There is no reason why eggs should
be forty cents dozen in Union City.
There is no reason why they should be
eighty cents dozen in New York. A
short time ago a farmer shipped two
tons Of cabbage to market. The COM
mission house acknowledged the receipt
OF single head OF cabbage, explaining
that the remainder Of the shipment was
damaged in transit, An investigation
followed The cabpage had been dumped
into the river. There was corner on
cabbage. This is only single instance.
The eggs is another. The bulk OF the
eggs are in cold storage. They have been
Withdrawn from the market. That Is
one Of the beauties Of capitalism. Il Is

Of printed matter travelling under a one

receipts for the same period, including

increased in the transportation OF par

will be much greater, say $50, 900, 600.

Government reports. the deficit would
be 8135, 100000 year, to satisfy the
whims OF a few cheap skates, who
haven't got anything else to do but cry
for cheap postage. II the one-cent let

the deficit in the Post Office Department

go slow with this matter. They had
better try out the parcel post first, and
see il enough can be collected to pay

want to tax the country to pay for the

WRECK ON new HAVEN
Sixteen Persons Killed and Forty
1njured-Thick Fog to
Blame.
FAILED TO SEE BLOCK SIGNALS

New, Haven. Conn. Sept. 3.-Six
teen. persons lost their lives and for.
" were injured when the White
Mountain express bound for New
York crashed into the rear end of the
second section Of the Bar Harbor
limited, bearing sojourners from
Maine summer resorts. The wreck
occurred on the New Haven railroad
just outside the city limits.
Failure to see a block signal yelled
in a thick fog is given as the cause
of the accident by Engineer A. B.
Miller, who says that as soon as he
realized the danger he did all he
could to stop the train.
The brakes would not hold on the
wet track and the train, running
down grade, ploughed it's way through
two wooden Pullman cars, splintered
them and killed or wounded most of
the sleeping passengers in their
berths.
The accident recalled the recent
wreck on the New Haven at STAN
ford, Conn, when a second section
train failed to take it's brakes and
overran a block, dealing death to pas.
eengers of the first section.
Bodies of Victims MangIed.
The bodies of most of the victims
were mangled. +
The dead were all taken to New
Haven. The injured received. first aid
from physicians. on the two trains
later being removed to hospitals.
The Bar Harbor limited had stopped
In the block, but the last car of the
long train was just on the edge OF the
block limits. The signals had cleared
and the express had gotten under
slight Roadway when the White Noun
tain express came along. The engineer
Of the latter was unable to stop his
locomotive and crashed completely
through two of the sleepers on the
Bar Harbor train and knocked the
next sleeper over the embankment.
The shock of the collision was sc
terrific that linen and bed clothing

swept out OF the broken windows and
carried to telegraph poles and wires

The White Mountain express wa.
scarcely. scratched by the collision. l
proceeded to New York after a few
hours delay.
