Jersey City, Nov. 19.—'Dwelve men
were killed, one probably .fatally i1:-
jured. and four seriously hurt, by he—
Hackensack five; at 8.15 o’clock yes—
terday morning.
The .men were laborers. at work re—

'skirts ofthe town of Harrison.
William Quirk, No. 182 Steuben
street, Jersey City, the foreman in
charge of the men, escaped injury, but
nearly everybody else in the gang was
either killed outright or injured.
‘The laborers were at work on the
.west bound track, when a. freight .train
came along, with the locomotive puf-
fing out .thick clouds of black smoke.
There was also a fog hanging over the
.meadows .at the time.
The ,Millstone local train, filled with
tcommuters, and in charge of John Van
Nostrand, the engineer, was racing
over the Hackensack meadows towards
Jersey \City, trying .to make up lost
time.
The gang had crossed over .to the
. .eastb nd track toget out of the way
of the. ' eight train, when the Millstone
local was rushing along, the smoke and
, fogobscurlng the engineer’s view. The
laborers were also prevented from {sce-

5‘ Before the engineer knew of the
presence of the laborers his locomotive
’ had mowed them down. Theforeman,

‘ about him mangled bodies and pieces
' .of flesh nwere hurled.

lifted and a horrible scene presented
itself. ‘
When the train was brought to a
.standstill the tracks were strewn with
.blood and fragments of bodies. Many
.of the passengers in the train became
.sick at the sight. Van Nostrand wept
like a child when he .:saw what had
happened. _
As quickly as possible those .of the
laborers not already dead were put in
the freight car of the .Millstone local
and taken to Jersey City where all
the ambulances and morgue wagons
in town and two dozen surgeons were
ready to lend assistance.
Th dead were mostly from Jersey
City. 'The bodies were frightfully
mangled, some of them having to be
collected with a shovel. All were taken
to the Jersey City morgue.
Michael Lawless, the outpost whose
duty it was to warn the laborers of. ap-
proaching trains from the west, was
hurled ninety feet and cut almost in
two. . . _
There were harrowing scenes when
thexbodies reached the Pennsylvania
railroad yards in Jersey City. Many
of the wives and relatives of the dead
were beside themselves with grief.
Half a. dozen women were overcome
and had to be taken home by the po-
lice.
The engineer. Van Nostrand, made
this statement;
“I felt sure that the track was clear,
and had no idea that in that cloud
of smoke and fog just ahead of me
were twenty laborers who did not
know of my on-coming. I got within
one hundred yards or the gang when
my locomotive struck the outpost,
Michael Lawless. I put on the brakes
at once, but in another second I was
upon the main gang and my locomo-
tive cut them down before I could
stop the train.”
The case will be thoroughly investi-
gated by the railroad company .
Supervisor Gerald Holsman of its
track repairing department summoned
the section foreman, William Quirk,
after his arrival in Jersey City, and se-
cured his story.
Mr. Holsman, after a hasty investi-
gation, said:
“Nobody was to blame except the
fog and smoke. I do not believe Van
Nostrand or any other official is to
blame. It was one of those deplorable
accidents that cannot be charged up
against any human being.”
Disorder in Porto Rico.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 19.—The
cabinet session yesterday was devoted
largely to consideration of complaints
that haxe reached the war department,
alleging that a state of practical an—
archy prevails in Porto Rico.
These complaints assert that the
lawless elements in Porto Rico are
committing depredations of the grav-
est character, and that the seriousness
of the situation is increased by the fact
that United States troops, stationed in
the island, likewise haVe been guilty
of misconduct.
Secretary Alger, at the instance of
.the president, has cabled to General
Brooke, inquiring as to the accuracy of
the complaints.
IBeturn of the Buffalo.
New York, Nov. 19.-—The United
States cruiser Buffalo, from Newport,
R. 1., in tow of the government tug
Wampatuck, passed in at City island
yesterday morning.
The Buffalo was taken to the Brook-
lyn navy yard for repairs, having put
into Newport with machinery out of
order, after starting from here for the
Philippines. .
. It is said that the repairs which are
required are confined to the condensers
and sea valves.

finer SPANISH WAR PENSION.
Seventeen Dollars a Month for F. C. Gates
an InjuredAttillery-mnn'.
Washingtin, Nov. 19.—The first pen-
sion claim ofthe Spanish war was
granted yesterday; $17 a month to
Francis C. Gates, Second United States
Artillery, 'who was struck in a fight
before Santiago, on'July 2, by a shot
from a machine gun, which broke his
upper jaw, tore away his lips and
knolked six teeth out.
The president took great interest in
having the case promptly adjudicated
and an effort will be made to get a
special act through Congress raising,
the amount of the man’s pension.
It now appears that much of the
work of examining volunteers at their
iie’nlistment was done in a slipshod
:lmanner, but new physicians were em—
" [ployed at ‘the must'ering out, with the
ing run down by the Millstone local?
train {of the Pennsylvania road, on the 1_
Hackensack Meadows, just west of the .
'result that numberless cases of dis—
ease or organic trouble are found
which undoubtedly date back of the
war.
Nearly two thousand claims for pen-
sions from the Spanish war have been
filed already for ‘the. army, and about
two hundred and fifty for the navy,
exclusive of the victims of the .Maine
disaster.
The best estimates are that the "Spa-
nishva'ar pension 'ist will add $20,000,000
to the present annual budget, and the
bulk of the pensions will be for dis-
ease and not for wounds.
Such troubles as lesion of the heart
and dysentery are most frequently the:
cause. . ~ N_ ___-

Used IVrong Emblem.
Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 19.—-It has been
discovered that the emblem prirf'ted at
the head of the Republican column on
the ballots for Erie county was not the
official emblem.
In the one used there is a clearly de-
fined clrcle in the 'ballot box under the
eagle, which is claimed cost the Re—
publicans many votes, as the voter
made the .cross in this circle instead
of in the circle below. The irregular
:cut was used in 1895.
County Clerk Wende says that he
has all the Republican votes thrown
out because of the X in the ballot box,
and has no doubt that the court will
order them to be counted for the Re-
publican candidates, as the intention
of the voters was clear. ’
Bold Attempt to Break Jail.
Columbus, 0., Nov. 19.——A desperate
attempt was made by two convicts to
escape from the penitentiary at about
eight o’clock yesterday morning, as a
result of which Charles B. Lauter—
baugh of Mount Vernon, a guard, was
shot and killed, while two convicts,
O’Neil and Atkinson, received injuries
of a serious nature, and both are now
in the prison hospital.
The two convicts, who are serving
fifteen years each for robbery, commit-
ted in Ceveland, obtained possession of
firearms and attempted to escape by
terrorizing the guards. k

To strengthen Wei-HaiJVei. ‘
London, Nov. 19.—The Evening News.
says that the government has sent an
engineer to Wei-hai—Wei to construct
,breakwaters, build six powerful forts
and dredge the harbor, so as to permit
warshoips to lie inside.
Thes eworks will obviate the neces-
sity which would otherwise exist, in
case of hostilities, of warships putting
to sea each night in order to avoid tor-
pedo attacks.
Orders have been issued for the en-
rolment of a battalion .of Chinese for
service at Wei-Hai—VVei.
Dreyfus Hears the Good News.
Paris, Nov. 19,—Ex-Captain Dreyfus
was yesterday officially informed of
the decision of the court of cessation to
order a revision of his trial.
The telegram stating that Dreyfus
had been officially notified of the action
of the court of cassation in the matter
of the revision of his trial came from
the governor of French Guiana.
No particulars were given in the tel-
epraphic dispatch as to how the pris-
oner received the news.
Rhodes May Soon Be Premier.
Cape Town, Nov. 19.-—-The govern:-
mont and the opposition have practi-
cally settled upon the terms of a com-
promise, and a bill for redistribution
of the seats in the Assembly will be in-
troduced which will be satisfactory to
the Progressives. "
The early resumption of the premi-
ership by Cecil Rhodes is generally re-

Slight Changes in Cotton and Woolen
Goods. Iron Tradenrisk.
New York, Nov. 19.—The situation is
clearer, and the improvement in busi-
ness which was expected. after the
election, has begun.
Payments through clearing houses
are far the largest ever known, for the
week 37.3 per cent. larger than last
year, "and 33.0 per cent. larger than in
1892, ,and for the month the daily aVer-
age has been $254,422,000, 20.7 per cent.
larger than last year and 18.9 per cent.
larger than in 1892.
Stocks have advanced steadily in the
face of heavy realizing by European
holders and domestic speculators, ris—
‘dng an average of '86 cents for the.
”week, though trusts slightly declined.
' The glassworker-s have resumed, the
anthracite coal output is heavy and
much beyond the present capacity of
markets, the troubles in Illinois coal
mines have been settled, and the new
strike of shoeworkers in Marlboro,
Mass, is" now the only labor hindrance
of consequence.
, It its noteworthy that in spite of all
changes the price of spot wheat has
but slightly changed. The exports for
the week, flour included, have been
3,968,768 bushels from Atlantic _ ports
against 3,232,344 last year, and “from
Pacific ports 988,093 bushels against 2,—
191,344 last ‘year, making in all for
two weeks of November 9,312,331 bush-
»‘éls, against 9,939,804 last year.
Corn exports also exceed last year’s
:a'moun'ting for the week to 2,993,720
“bushels, against 2,722,457 last year.
Fere 'it possible, it would be gratify-
ing to say that a little stronger de-
imand for-cotton, making the price 5.37
cents against 5.31 a week ago, had a.
solid basis, but southern markets rec-
, ognize the fact that the closing of
=many mills here and abroad, owing to
i excessive stocks of goods on hand, does
not offer bright promise.
Crop prospects appear so good that,
even at the extreme low prices quoted
there is little encouragement for ad-
vance in view of the heavy stocks held
‘here and abroad.
The woolen manufacture has gained
in orders for the coming season which
justifies the heavy buying of materials
recently seen, and there are also bet—
ter orders for speedy delivery, but the,
demand is not large, and much ma:
chinery is still waiting idly.
There is similar difficulty about the
prices of boots and shoes, for menu-
facturers do not want to contract at
present quotations for leather, and
leather manufacturers show them-
selves unready to buy hides at current
:‘quotations, and while the prices of
‘ hides have yielded a little at Chicago,
: they are still relatively high.
Iron is in bigger demand all the
time, and yet production steadily in-
creases, and'at Pittsburg, Bessemer
pig is slightly lower at $10.10, the new
association being undersold.
Orders for plates are beyond all pre-
cedent. including material for cars,
bridges, vessels, and work of all
sorts.
. Imports for October were a little
larger than last year, but the excess
of exports over imports was more than
$66,000,000, no other month excepting
last December having ever shown as
large an excess. ’
Failures in two weeks of November
have been $3,468,657, against $5,600,424
last year. '
