Freehold, N. J., Dec. 17.—Four per- sons were instantly killed and three were hurt mortally by a train on the Pennsylvania railroad crossing in Al— lenwood, nine miles from here, last evening. The dead are: Mrs. Ellen Allen, Bessie Allen, her infant daughter. Mrs. Alice Algor, Jennie Cranmer. The wounded are: David Allen, husband of Ellen, ing. Kate Allen, his Sister, dying. William Allen, his brother, dying. Mrs. Algor’s little child, Baby Algor, Was the only one In the party that es- caped uninjured. All the parties dy~ live in Allenwood. .whlch is a small village, founded by. the ancestors of the Allens who Were killed. Mrs. Algor and Miss Cranmer, are friends and neighbors of the Aliens. Early yesterday morning the entire party got into the Allen family’s cov- ered wagon and drove to Asbury Park, where the day was spent In buying Christmas presents. The start for home we as made about 4 p. m., and the horses, tired from the day’s travel, were going along slowly. The journethas uneventful until Wil- liam Allen, who was driving, axttempted to cross the tracks of the Pennsylvania. eroad in front of train No. 298, which is due here 'at 6.3 o’clock. William Allen evidently had miscal— culalted the distance between the ap- proaching train and the crossing, and probably did not figure 011 the pace of the tired horses. The carriage was squarely on the track and at right angles with it when the oncoming train struck it. With its occupants the carriage was hurled in- to the air. The bodies of the occupants were thrown in every direction. David S. Allen has a fractured skull, one of his legs is in shreds and he is injured internally. William Allen's right arm is severed, several ribs are broken and he Is otherwise injured. Kalte Allen’s head 1s crushed, all her limbs are broken and her death is mo— mentarily expected. Mrs. Algor's child was found near the tracks, holding in her arms a box which contained a doll, her gift for Christmas from her mother. Gus “’orks Explode. Poughkeepsie, Dec. 17.—This city had a gas explosion late last night in which one man was killed, another fa- tally injured and a third seriously in— jured. .- At 5.30 o’clock a. monster column of fire suddenly shot Skyward, followed by a terrific explosion, caused by the blowing up of the main building of the Poughkeepsie Gas Company’s works. ' The explosion was caused by an overcharge of crude gas being pumped into a few small refining tanks, one 'of which burst, allowing the gas to fill the room, which was ignited by a jet. The building was completely wrecked by the explosion. Every house in the city was shaken and those near the works were dam- aged. Windows were shattered and plaster on the walls and ceilings fell. A flame of gas, a hundred feet high, lighted the streets for half a mile. The city probably will be dark for at least a week. 419:5:- Extradition “'ith Mexico. Mexico City, Dec. 17.—The foreign re.- lations department is preparing a draft of an extradition treaty with the Uni- ted States, which will be forwarded to Washington to Ambassador Romero, who will negotiate it with Secretary Hay.

Aull, manager of the Denny estate, has just secured by state pa— tent land in the Fifteenth ward valued at over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which has for years been with— out an owner.

Tuskegee, Aim, Dec. 17.—The presi- dential party arrived here at eight o’clock yesterday morning and were met by the mayor and town council. The trip from Atlanta was without in- cident. .. ‘ The party entered carriages and were driven to Booker T. Washington’s school. At the school the president made a speech. He praised Professor \Vash— ington and his pupils and the insti— tution they represented. In the course of his remarks he said: "One thing I like about this institu- tion is that its policy has been gen- erous and progressive; It is not so self centered or interested. In its own pur- suits and ambitions as to ignore what is going on in the rest of the country. or make it difficult for outsiders to share the local advantages. “1 allude especially to the spirit in which the annual conferences have been here held by? ending colored citi— zens and educators, with the intention of improving the condition of their less fortunate brothers and sisters. Here we can see is an immense field, and one which cannot too soon or too carefully be utilized. “The conferences have grown In pop- ularity and are well calculated not on- ly to encourage colored men and col— ored women in their individual efforts, but to cultivate and promote an ami- cable relationship between the two races—a problem whose solution was never more needed than at the pres ent time. Patience in moderation, self control. knowledge, character. will surely win your victories and realize the best as- pirations of your people. INTERNATIONAL BANK BILL. The Debate Resumod in the House and Measure Defeated. W'ashington, D. 0., Dec. 17.—Sbme miscellaneous business, including the passage of several minor private bills. was disposed of at the opening of the session of the House of Representa- tives yesterday. The debate upon the bill to incorpo- rate the International American Bank was then resumed. Mr. Bell, Populist of Colorado, op- posed the measure. He took the ground that it was both unconstitutional and against good public policy. Mr. Sulzer. Tammany of New York. also antagonized the bill, claiming; that it would create a gigantic mon- opoly which would In time regulate interest and exchange rates. Mr. Barrett, Republican of Massa— chusetts, offered an amendment which provided that the powers granted un— der the bill should be conferred upon any national bank which filed an appli- cation with the comptroller of the cur- rency in conformity with the general requirements of the bill. Mr. Ridgely, Populist of Kansas. of— fered a substitute, providing that the United States should establish such a bank as the bill created, and that the bank should have a branch in every city or town exceeding in population 2,500, and in every Central and South American country where the United States had a consular officer, such offi— cer to be the bank’s representative. At the close of the debate a vote was taken, which resulted In defeat for the measure by a vote of 103 to 148. Funeral of )Ir. Brice. New York, Dec. 17.—The funeral of ex-Senator Calvin S.

Dec. 17. ———The intcrstate National Guaid Association, compos- cd of military officers from nearly ev— ery state in the Union, has denounced the proposal to nationalize the Nation- al Guard by putting it under control of the general government, and de— nounced Governor-elect Roosevelt be- cause he criticised the efficiency of the volunteer regiments in actual war- fare. The general sentiment of the associ- ation was that the National Guard did not have a fair show at the hands of the regular army and that Congress should appropriate less for the army and more for the Guard. A Cab Trust for Manhattan. New York, Dec. 17.—A movement has been on foot for several weeks to con- solidate the cab and livc1y intelests of Manhattan into one corporate body, In effect a cab trust.

The Volume of Business Still Continues Beyond all Free dent New York, Dec. 17.‘—December is ad- ding a surprising close to the most sur- prising year of American history. No- vember had surpassed all other months of the century In volume of business and production, and thus far December is doing even better, in pay— ments through clearing houses, In railload earnings, in foreign trade, In output of pig iron and In activity and strength of securities. But that is saying a great deal, for in all these and other tests November was far the best month of American financial history. December began with a. pig Iron out- put of 235,528 tons weekly, against 223 935 Nov ember lst. and wi'th stocks of unsold iron diminished 28,988 tens in November, which indicates a consump- tion of 1,024,313 tons during the month. Not only is the output the greatest ever known, but it has increased 22 1—2 per cent. since 1892, when the greatest monthly record then ever known was made. In other lines the demand for finish— ed products is of the same surprising magnitude, especially in plates and In sheets. The woolen Industry also comes to the front; with very extensive pur- chases of wool by large houses and small, helped by material concessions at Boston, so that sales at the three chief markets have been 17,968,700 pounds, of which 13,860,200 were do- mestic, against 15,307,100 last year, 0 which 7,443,000 were domestic. The exports of wheat continue heavy from Atlantic ports, flour included, 5.- 492.692 bushels, against 3,563,805 last year, and from Pacific ports 741,99] bushels, against 1,520,613 last year, so that for two weeks the outgo hal been 11,871,540 bushels against 9,401,555 last year. The corn movement is the most as- tonishing feature of the business, th:= exports for three Weeks having. been 7,187,302 bushels, against 6,326,894 bush- els last year, and the price has ad- vanced one cent for theweek. Should such a demand for American corn continue It would be of enormous value to western farmers. The volume of business indicated by payments through clearing houses con- tinues far beyond all precedent, ex- ceeding last year by 23.2 per cent. and exceeding the corresponding week of 1892 by 26.3 per cent. Foreign trade is also remarkably en- couraging, exports for two weeks hav~ Ing been from New York 25.1 per cent, larger than last year While Imports have been 4.1 per cent. smaller. Failures for the week have been 261, in the United States against 329 last year, and 31 in Canada against 28 last year. GATLING EXHIBITS NEW GUN. Can be Constructed at: Halfthat Built-u} \Veapons Cost. New York, Dec. 17.—It 'transpires that the tests just made at the Sandy Hook proving grounds of Dr. Gatling’s new cast steel gun may result in retro-I lutionizing the system of great gun manufacture. a: The piece, which Is of eight-Inch cal- ibre, withstood a powder pressure in the chamber of approximately thirty- seven thousand pounds to the square inch without giving any indication 01 strain. When it is recalled that the service pressure for the present built up guns is but 32,000 pounds to the square inch, it will be seen that the new weapon far exceeds the requirements. Six shots were fired with powder charges varying from 132 to 142 pounds. The showing made by the gun so de- lighted General Miles that he grasped Dr. Gatling’s hand and‘congratulated him warmly. But the crowning virtues of the new gun, in case it meets other tests suc- cessfully, is in, that It can be made for fifty per cent. of the cost of guns built up by the present system. Furtheimme, eight similar elght- inch guns could be made in the time now required to make a single built up gun of the same calibre. The new gun, which was made at the Otis works in Cleveland, was cast in an ordinary gun mould. After boring, the piece was subjected to a very high heat pressure on its exterior surface, a blast of cold air being forced through the bore.- Thc effect was to cool the gun from the bore outward. In addition to this treatment, during the casting a radial twist was given to the mould. There is also an alloy, which is kept a secret, used in the steel. A cast steel gun was never before made that would withstand ordinary service pressure. As It now costs one thousand dollars a ton approximately to construct :1 built up gun, it is evident that even the cutting in two of that expense is sufficiently important if nothing else Is considered. A $14,900,000 Enterprise. Albany. N. Y., Dec. 17.—The North American Commercial Cemnany of Brooklyn, capitalized at $14,000,000. filed articles of incorporation with the sec— retary of state yesterday. Ten million dollars of the capital stock Is preferred and 34,000,000 com— mon. The company Is organized to deal in the products of the United States and the West Indies. A tax of 87, 500 was paid by the com— pany for the privilege of incorporat- Ing. McKinley to Go to Boston. Boston, Dec. 17.—Secretary Clarke of the Home .Market Club yesterday re- ceived a dispatch saying that Presi: dent McKinley, Postmaster General Smith and several other distinguished men from Washington would attend the club's annual dinner In this cIty, to be given probably in the latter part of January.
