Terrible Disaster on a Railway in
New Jersey.
During a Dense Fojg a Train Plunges
Into a (;tang of Track Laborers--
Txvelve Are l(llled and Sev-
eral Hurt.
New York. Nov. 19. -- During a dense
:fog a t'ennsylvania ".rain ran upon a
s gang of workmen on the Hackensack
:Meadow
It is now definitely known that twelve
men were killed and five injured.
Thomas Dougherty was sltpposed ~o
]be on the lookout for approaching
~rains. He was a considerable distance
~ap the track from the gang of laborers.
and he evidently did not see the train,
~or he gave no warning, ltis body was

Was Making Up Lost Time.
The train which ran down the work-
men was a local from Milltown to Jer-
sey City, due in Jersey City at 8:20 a.
m. The fog delayed the train and En-
gineer John Van Ostrand was endeav-
oring to make up time. His train was
running at a high rate nf speed, he be-
lieving there was nothing to obstruct
a quick run to Jersey City. The first
he knew that his train had run into the
men was when the engine jarred. Then
the cries of the men were heard and he
as so~a as possible brought his train to
a stop.
A IlorrIble SIsght.
Engineer Van XOstrand, speaking of
the moment when his engine plowed
into the mass of cowering men who
stood huddled together on the track.
said: "It'~was an awful sight. There
was a mass of legs and arms and heads
~ying through the nit', I was drenched
with blood. I knew O/at something
~errible had happened and put on the
air brakes ns hard as lmssible,
track was drenched in blood. The
meadows and the track looked like a
battlefield covered with bodies. The
shrieks of the dying drowned the cries
of the horrified passengers. Women
f~tnted and men turned away in hor-
for."
Not One EsoaDed.
There were 20 men in the gang, and
As :oon as the news of the accident
reached Jersey City Pennsylvania rail-
road officials went to the Meadows and
superintended the removal of the dead

laborers reached the Pennsylvania de-
pot tu Jersey City the cowcatcher was

WORD FROM DEWgi'

Hegarding Action of Philip-
Dine Insurgents.
Washington, Nov. 19.--News of a
mixed character came to the navy de-
partraent Friday from Admiral Dewey
touchin,g the situation in the Philip-
pines. The admiral sent two of his war-
ships, the Charleston and the Concord,
~ome time ago to the southward from
Manila to ascertain whether there was
truth in the reports that the insurgents
had extended fl~eir activities in that di-
rection. Friday he cabled as follows:
"Manila, Nov, ]$. ]sgg.--Secretary Navy,

rived from Ilollo. Glass reports that the

Glass is the commander of the

done by the administration towards
curbing the insurgents in their opera-
~ions save verbal representations from
the American commanders to Aguin-
aldo, in which it has been pointed ou~
to him that it would be good policy, in
view of the probability of the annexa-
tion of the islands by the United States.

the situation is now realized o be erit-
icM. So far as the Spaniards are con-
cerned, perhaps they can be left to take
care of themselves, but the foreign resi-
dents at ]loilo are differently regarded.
2qm difficulty in the situation is that
with the best intentions to intervene to
protect the Europeans and other for-
eigners and to save the city of ]loilo,
the second in importance in the Philip-
pine group, from looting, the United
States forces appear to be stopped un-
der the rn~es of war from moving from
their po~ns. Such is the construc-
tion pl~ed~:upon the clause in the pro-
tocol ~g to a suspension of hos-
tilities; :%~,;:: ~;
The fate effect of this state of
affairs ma~ be o hasten action in the
Paris cor[ference, for it is only by the
termination of that tm~bunal that the
United States can come to the relief of
the beleaguered Spaniards in Iloilo and
at other points. It is said to be a fact,
however, that a total disagreement at
Paris may result in speedier action than
If the commissioners agreed upon the
main principles of the Philippine ces-
sion, for, in such case, several additional
sessions probably would be required in
~rder to arrange the details of the
treaty,
It is now thought to be certain that
the commission at a meeting next Mon-
day or Tuesday will do one of two
things, t. e either agree to the cession

mona and dissolve the meeting, for the
administration is not disposed to taler-

icans Just what an English word might
mean. The latter will take no notice of
this kind of a hair-splitting plea, but

TWo Men Try o [~scape from O~1o
Penitentiary---They l~ili a Guard,
and Are Both "tVouaded.
Columbus, O Nov. 19. --- There was &
desperate attempt made by twn con-
vlets to escape from the penitentiary
about eight o'clock in the morning, as
a result of which Guard Charles D. l,au-
terbach, of Mount Vernon, was shot
and killed, while Convicts O'Neil and
Atkinsoa received us juries of a serious
nature, and both are now in the prison
hospital.
By some means Convicts O'N~il and
Atkinson, who are serving 15 years for
rabbery, obtained possession of a re-
volver and proceeded to carry out a
bold plan to escape. One covered his
face with a handkerchief and went into
the broom shop where he held up Guard
Lime and took hiz revolver. He thexx
returned to the hoe shop, where the
other man joined him and they opened
fire upon Guard Lauterbach. who was in
charge of that department.
The guard was shot three times and
almost instantly killed. The sound of
the shoaling reached the other offi-
cials in the prison, and they cancan the
run to iovestigate. Guard Gump was
the first on the scene, and, takingin the
situation at a glance, opened fire on the
two prisoners. This was returned, and
a regular battle was in progress until
the revolvers of all the participants
were emptied.
In the fray Convict Atkinson was
shot down and seriously injured and,
as soon as the guns were emptied, Guard
Gump rushed in with his cane and al-
most beat O'Neil to death before the
prisoner would surrender. The men
were taken to the hospital, where their
injuries were attended to. Atkinson
was shot in the body, but is not thought
to be ~eriously hurt, but 0'Nell was so
beaten about the head that his injuries
may result fatally.
The other pri.oners in the shop
where the shooting occurred took no
part in the affair, but it is hnderstood
that they stood ready to follow if the
efforts of the two leaders/proved suc-
cessful. Previous to merging the out-
break one of the two prisoners forced
a third man to place a ladder against
the outside of the penitentiary wail, so
that when they had fought their way
out of the shops they could shoot down
the wall guard and make their escape
by that route.
Fra,nk O Nell and John Atklnson are
serving their third terms. Atkinson
says that O'Neil received two guns on
the 4th of July, when visitors were
allowed in the prison. They were hid-
den by Atkinson, the two men decid-
ing to wait for fall before trying to es-
cape.
They had bee~ waiting for three
weeks for an opportunity.
Atkinson was shot twice in the right
arm and O'Neil has two severe scalp
wounds. Neither is fatally hurt.

Paris, Nov, 17. -- The meeting
Wednesday of the Spanish-American
commissions began at 2:15 p. m. and
ended at three p. m.
The Spanish commissioners present-
ed a long document in anuwer to the
American argument which was sub-
mitted last week. By mutual consent
the memot~lndum was hunded to the
Americans without being read and the
meeting adjourned to Saturday next.
The Spanish communication will be

cussed by the American eontmissioners
Thm-sday a~ their usunl daily session.
The Spaniards. in their eommnnieu-
tion, reattlrmed the position which they
have assumed ag~dnst the discussion
here of Spain's Philippine sovereignty.
They in.sist that the words "shall de-
termine the control, disposition and
government of th e Philippines." in arfi-
cle 3 of the peace protocol, do not war-
rant any reference to Spain's wit hdraw-
al from the Philippines except on her
own reruns, and therefore the SpaIdards
propose arbltration on the construction
to be placed on the words "the control,
dis~position and government."
In signifying their willingness to
submit the Philippine artiele of the pro-
toeol to a third party for eonstrnetion.
the Spanish commissioners urged that.
as there is obviously a difference of
opinion regard~ing the phrase "the con-
trol. disposition and government of the

surrender theirs. The memorandum
points out that n deadlock exists, which
might be broken by arbitration on the
contending views, to which the Spanish
commissioners are quite ready to snb-
mit. The latter declare that they have
no idea of suggesting arbitration as to
the main issue, which toucher the na-
tional honor of both sides, but they are
willing to accept exterior aid to clear
the path of negotiation. It is safe to
say that the American eommisMoners
will not consent to invoke exterior aid
to construe the terms of their own pro-
tocol.
