The Hawaiian incidentis closed. It
is only necessary to examine the docu-
‘ ments. reports, etc., which make up
the history of that flamentable episode
in order to realize that the public senti-
ment of the country will not for an in-
stant tolerate areopening of it. This
is a case where the lifting of the cur-
tain involves its immediate and perma-
nent fall. We have at last had a clear
and comprehensive glance. We want
no more, says the Washington Post.
Fortunately, no real harm has been
done. The men who had in charge the
civilization and the liberties of Hawaii,
were imbued with the spirit that has
animated pioneers and liberators ever
since the dawn of human progress and
emancipation. Neither by cajolery nor
intimidation, by stratagem nor bold
assault could they be turned one single
hair’s breadth from their high and holy
purpose. Beset by secret machina-
tions, threatened by mysterious perils,
approached by the smiler with the
knife beneath his cloak, facing an open
foe with murder in his heart and bar-
boring a hidden foe with treachery in
his—beleaguered by every enemy that
could assail. the cradle of a new-born
republic, these heioeshéld their ground
with nerves of steel and souls that
knew no fear. Where a false step
might have plunged them into the
abyss, they marched straight and true.
Where thergsmlallest sign of faltering
might have brought the avalanche, they
turned their” faces to the sunlight.
. They have triumphed. They have
proved their title t6"the noble heritage
of freedom. They have passed through
the valley and the slough, and today
they stand upon the mountain top with
the white wonder of the dawn upon
their brows.
The spectacle which we discover in
the reportspf Mr. Willis will not be
lost upon the country. The revelation .'
of a savage and revengeful queen—ri-
diculous in everything except her blood-
thirsty rancor.—the revelation of that
tawdry monarch planning the destruct-
ion of the leaders and reveling in the
foretaste oflthe shambles is enough to
make the American people shudder.”
Unconsciously she vindicated the re-
volution which dethroned her and put
to shame the .policy of restoration when
she declared her barbarous aspiration.
The thought of peace, of order, of re'
conciliation ; the idea of ushering in an
era of enlightened progress ; never
once occured to her. The onlyper-
spective that unfolded itself in that
hour of her hope was thronged with the
scaffold and the six. The only path her
fancy trod led to the ghastly portals of
ahecatomb. ' I
As we say,the black shadow has pass-
ed. Never again will any administra-
tion of this free government address
itself to the taskof rehablitating that
savage and murderous regime." Never
again will the American people listen
with toleration to any scheme which has
for its object the exaltation of barbarity
' and assassination of human freedom.
The cloud has passed—condensed in
folly, and spread by mistaken zeal, it
has been dissipated by courage, de-
votion, and Christianmanhood. Let
it blow seaward and be_lost§l-:-

Reform is Inaugurated.
United States Marshal Emory F
Strong, writes very pertinently to the
Hartford Courant, of which paper he is
the Bridgeport correspondent, about
the demoralization of the Bridgeport
police department. In concluding as
follows : .
“Policy shops abound here. These
are frequented not only by men, but by
women and children. Some of these
places have been occupied and used for
this business for more than ten years,
They are running now. Children scarce-
ly large enough to carry a pitcher or a
pail are sent to saloons to procure
liquid refreshments for their parents
and no one questions the legality or the
propriety of the transaction. ,
It will be said that these evils existin
all cities. It is not my purpose to enter-
a denial to that ’ assertion. What we
complain of here is that we are getting
more than our share of these things and
know that unless a great and successful

The Internal “’ar Assumes a. More
Serious Aspect.
LISBON, J an. 16.—Details of the defeatof
.the government force under General
Telles, which attacked the Ilha do Gover-
nador on Dec. 15, have reached this city.
by mail. The island had been occupied
by the insurgents since September. Pres-
ident Peixoto had been led to believe that
the capture of the island would be 'an
easy task. owing to the absence of any
movement on the island denoting that the
insurgents there were in force. The at-
tack was, therefore, ordered. The govern-
ment troops were conveyed to the island
and landed without the slightest opposi-
tion being offered co them. In fact, the
government forces saw nobody while
effecting their landing. Thinking that
the island was practically theirs without
a struggle, the troops advanced carelessly
and marched directly into an umbuscad
the insurgents had prepared for them.
Suddenly a deadly fire was poured into
them, and before they could" rally and
form ranks to repel the enemy the insure
gents, sprang from their hiding places and
charged Gen. ’I‘ellc’s command with fixed
bayonets. The groiiul was covered with
the slain.
Gen. Telles was one of the first to be
struck down. He was hit in both legs
with a shot from a. machine gun. Ad-
miral da Gama, the leader of the insur-
gents, permitted the removal of Gen.
Tclles to the mainland for medical at-
tendance. It was found necessary to am-
putate both his legs. Death from shock
and loss of blood followed soon after the
operation had been performed.
The rout of the government troops was
complete. Some of them to escape the
insurgents threw themselves into the sea.
Others sought to gain the interior of the
island, but were either shot or bayonetted
by the insurgents.
NEGROES GOING TO. AFRICA.
Tennessee Blacks Have a “'ild Emi-
gration Fever.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 16.—The negroes
in this section of the south, principally
those in Arkansas, have contracted the
emigration fever again, and there is an
exodus of black men to Africa. A des-
patch from Marianna, Ark. says that all
the negroes of that neighborhood are sac—
rificing what little property they have
with the intention of going to the 'dark
continent. One carload has passed
through Brinkley enroute for Mew York,
whence they intend to sail for their ulti-
mate destination. It seems as if the
scheme had been worked up by negro
agents Who have been canvassing the sec-
tion for some time, for what purpose or
in whose interests is not known. Many
of the negroes owued small places and
several head of stock, and were, compara-
tively speaking, in good circumstances,
but have sacrificed all for a few dollars to
pay their way to New York. A promin-
ent planter purchased nineteen hogs from
one of these would be emigrants for the
small sum of $6.
Tuberculosis in Milk.
ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 16.——Dr. Mallory,
health oflicer in Rochester, was advised
by the state board of health, recently to
examine the milk furnished in that city
and report the existence of tubercule
bacillus, if found. State Cattle Inspector
Curtis was ordered by the state board of
health to proceed at once to Rochester
and tag all of the cattle of P. J. Cogswell,
L. D. Ely and Mr. Howard of Fairport.
Tuberculosis, it is. said, can be communi-
cated to the human family through the
medium of milk, but not through butter .
if made from separator cream, the motion
eliminating the tuberculc bacillus, at
least as far as bacteriological examina-
tions have yet demonstrated. The pro-
tection given to the public health and the
increased value to the dairy products of
the state by the careful work now being
done to discover and eradicate consump-
tion in cattle will prove of the greatest
value.
Suicide of a French Family.
PARIS, Jan. 16.—The city was stirred
last night by the news of the suicides of
M. Caubet, brother of the late chief of
police, and, his Wife and daughter. Cau-
bet was 63 years old, his wife about 'the
same age and his daughter 23. They .
lived in a pretty and comfortable flat in
the Rue des Martyrs. Business reverses
caused them to decide to die together.
They sold some of their furniture and
used the money to buy a sumptuous din-
ner last night. After eating they paid
and dismissed their one servant. They
signed a. paper explainlng their motives
in taking their lives, then pasted papers
over the cracks in the doors and windows
and lighted two charcoal fires. Each
swallowed a. vial of laudanum. All three
were found dead on the floor.
Salem’s Bank Teller in Mexico.
SALEM, Mass, Jan. 15. —— It is now
claimed that Clarence Murphy, the fugi-
tive teller of the Salem savings bank, is
now in Mexico, having gone from Salem
to Montreal, and thence to Chicago.
where he remained several days, and then
proceeded to Mexico. After his arrival
there he was quite ill for a couple of
weeks. He is now said to be preparing a
statement of the circumstances leading up
to his flight, which will be forwarded tr
the officers of the bank. Mrs. Murphy
left her husband in Chicago and returned
to Salem.

‘ Worst Railroad Accident
Ever Occurred Near New York.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.——The wreck yester-
meadows just east of Hackensack, N. J .,
during a thick fog, was the most disast-
rous railroad accident that ever occcured
in the neighborhood of this city. The
South Orange accommodation ran into -
tht Dover express, telescoping and smash.
ing to splinters the two rear cars of the
latter train, killing nine persons outright
and injuring more than 50 others, two of
whom died soon after being taken from
the wreck.
' The Dead.
The list of the dead as officially given is
as follows:
Edward Morrell, Summit, N. J ., sales-
man for the Smith-Premier typewriter
company.
P. H. Ryan, Milburn.
J. H. Rimmer, cashier of S. \V. .Boococh,
banker and broker, New York. '
Dr. James Doty, druggist,
Ridge, N. J.
William R. Adams, fish, dealer, Sum-
mit, leaves five children.
John Fish, civil engineer, Summit.
William Ferguson, Summit, an em-
ploye in the auditor’s office, VVestei-n
Union Telegraph Company, NewYork.
Edward Kinsey, Bernardsville.
John Purrington, Short Hills, manu-
facturer of glue, New York.
\V. J. Turner, Basking Ridge, book-
keeper.
D. Cameryon, Summit.
The Injured.
Of the Score or more injured the most-
scriously hurt are:
- Christopher Arnolds, Short Hills, inter-
nal injuries. , ,
Harvey Cowan, Buskin Ridge, probably
fatall injured. ~
Fred Ferguson, Summit, severe internal
injuries; will probably die.
Arthur Gardner, 39 years old, Short
Hills. internally injured; will probably
die.
Edward W. Gray, Summit, left leg in-
jured; amputation necessary.
\Vashington Irving, Short Hills, head‘
and body injured.
Katherine Kiernan, 50 years, New York,
arm broken.
The Dover express, which brings to this
city men engaged here in business and
living at Summit, Milburn, Short Hills
and Newark, made its last stop at New-
ark and then rushed on through the
thick fog towards the city. About 200
yards west of the ‘drawbridge over the
Hackensack the train was stopped by
torpedoes. The flagman of the train, it is
claimed, ran back immediately to flag any
train that might be approaching from the
west.
said, when suddenly, to his horror, he
sawrushing upon him through the fog.
the South Orange accommodation.
The train Was running at about twenty-
five or thirty miles an hour. Before En-
gineer David Hoffman could discern
through the fog the express train, it was
too late to stop his train. He turned on
the air brakes and, jumping from the cab,
rolled down the embankment. He was
taken up afterwards unconscious and
badly bruised and out about the head and
body. Fireman Irwin Metz climbed back
over the tender and was found after the
collision but slightly injured.
The engine struck the express train with
terrific force. It ploughed its way into
the rear car, a. cOmbination baggage and
smoking car, and caused the front end to
telescope into the passenger car next in
front. Every seat in the smoking com-
partment was occupied. The trainmen said
that there were about forty passengers in
the cur.
Not one of them escaped injury. The
passengers in the smoker were all men,
which accounts no doubt for the fact that
no women were reported to be among 'the
seriously injured.
The force of the collision completely
wrecked the engine of the South Orange
train. It knocked the rear trucks of the
tender off the tracks and smashed the
platforms of the first two cars. None of
the passengers on this train, however,
were injured, but all suffered from the
effects of the terrific shock.
But the effect of the collision on the
Dover express was woefully different. The
last two cars were twisted and turned into
a mass of broken iron, wood and glass,
over which rolled the clouds of smoke and
steam from the engines. From this mass
came the screams and cries of the injured.
The sight was horrible. As soon as the
passengers who were uninjured recovered
from the shock, they piled out of the cars
and rushed to the assistance of the in-
jured. The woodwork was lying in all
directions, and literally strewn along the
track were the bodies of the dead and
dying. The bodies of many persons had
been thrown, apparently, clear out of the
car by the collision, one side of the car
being completely knocked off. The bodies
of three or four passengers were pulled
out of the telescoped car, and then the
trainmen and the uninjured set to work
with axes and saws to reach those who
were buried beneath the wreckage.
The work of rescue was carried on he-
roically and the dead and injured were
conveyed to Hoboken on special trains.
.The concensus of opinion is that Engi-
neer Hofimau is to blame. He was run-
ning at too high a rate of speed consider-
ing the heavy fog prevailing; that he
knew there was a. train ahead and that h.
was nearing a draw’bridge. -
