JERSEY CITY, Dec. 9.-—A rear end colli- sion on the New Jersey Central Railroad yesterday, at the Danforth avenue Jersey City station, resulted in the serious injury of nine persons. Three trains on the Cen- tral road leave New York at 11.30 o’clock. They are the five hour fiyer to Washing- ton, an Easton express and a Long Branch express, which leave the Jersey City station in the order named at intervals of three minutes. While the Easton train was passing the Danforth station a brakeman saw a woman who was standing on the tracks topple over and he stopped the train. He found that she had only fainted. The train was‘slowly gathering headway again ‘ . when the Long Branch express loomed up through the fog. The engineer of the rear train saw the danger, reversed his engipe and applied the air brakes. The tracks, however, were slippery, and the wheels slid along the rails. The locomotive plunged through the rear car of the Easton train for almost its entire length. Mingled with the crash of the timbers and the hiss of escaping steam were heard the shrieks and groans of the injured. News of the accident was soon sent over the city and quickly responded to. Am— balances and patrol wagons and a corps of surgeons were soon upon the scene. Among the first removed from the wreck was Miss Julia Gilroy, 22 years old, of No. 1,175 Washington street, Elizabeth. A large splinter had pierced her abdomen. At the City Hospital an immediate opera- tion was found to be necesssary. She was unconscious last night, with an even - chance for life. The others injured are: George T. Lawson, North Broad street, Eliza- beth, compound comminuted fracture of the leg, severe scalp wound. possibly skull fractured; at City Hospital; may die. John .I. Kendall, of Somerville, compound fracture of leg ahd scalp wound, skull prob~ ably fractured; City Hospital; may die.

Hershfield, No. 224 East Forty-eighth street, this city, head cut, arm broken and back injured. Louis Zellner, 100 Suffolk street, this city, in: jured about the heat and body, severe scalp wounds and left arm fractured. F. J. Muller, Park avenue, Plainfield, back in- jured and nose broken. E. E. Runyon, Rainfield, injured about the hips and head. W. H. Park, Red Bank, two toes cut off, head out and arm injured. The officials of the road say that no one is to blame for the collision, as ' the fog and slippery tracks rendered it impossi~ ble to stop the Long Branch train. STOLE HIS. FATHER’S BRIDE. His Mother-in-Law Loved Him and They Skipped Out. ' NORWICH, Pa., Dec. 9.—Twenty years . ago George Janning, the 10-year- old son of John Janning, of Drinker Purchase, ran away from home and was not heard from for five years, when he wrote from a place in Oregon, where he was working on a farm. Five years ago his mother died, leaving him $7,000, but he had left Oregon, and it was only a year ago that he was found and the legacy paid to him. ’Two weeks ago the elder Janning married a young womanfibhe daughter of a neighboring farmer. She was only 20 years old and Janning'i' . Last week George Janning came home for the first time since he went away in 1872. He was a dashing fellow, and his young stepmother fell in love with him and he with her. On Tuesday they eloped, leaving a joint letter saying that they were going to Dakota.

A Forecast of “'11:“ New York’s Chlef Ex- ecutive “’ill Have to Say. ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 9.—Gov.‘ Flower is devoting the greater part of each day now to the preparation of his annual message to the Legislature. The document is yet incomplete,'but a large,pcrtion of it is ready, subject, of course, to changes. As it stands to-day, the Governor has con- siderable to recommend in regard to ex- isting quarantine regulations concerning which he had some experience during the cholera scare. He will probably have something to say by way of review of the actions of the chief executive at Fire Island and it is certain that the message will refer to some extent to the switchmen’s strike at Buffalo, in which a commendation of the promptness and efficiency of the National Guard will be noted. An important feature of the message will be the Gov- ernor’s opinion of the state system of road improvement which is exciting the attention of nearly every state in the Union. Gov. Flower believes that the Empire state should have better highways, but he will not favor the state road sys- tem in his message. . OPPOSITION T0 CRISP. William L. “'ilson of \Vest Virginia “Till be Pushed Against Him. WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec._9.—In spite of all that has been said by the friends of Senator Mills to the contrary, there is an anti-Crisp movement at work in the House. When Gov. Sayres, who was one of the Mills leaders last winter, remarked a few days ago, that there would be no opposition to the re-election of Speaker Crisp, he was probably not aware of the efforts of Messrs Bynum, Tom Johnson and others to supplant Speaker Crisp. Yesterday, while a few members of the House were following an uninteresting discussion of the public printing bill, several anti-Crisp consultations were held and it is said to-night that Messrs Bynum and Johnson have been commissioned to take charge of the canvass of William. L. Wilso,n of West Virginia, who is to run in opposition to Speake‘r Crisp. TREHY WITH CHILE. The Senate in Executive Session Ratified '11: Yesterday. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The Senate yes- terday resolved to adjourn until Monday next. It soon afterward went into execu- tive session, on motion of Mr. Sherman, and ratified the treaty with Chile provid- ing for the appointment of a commission to settle the claims of citizens of the United States against Chile. The treaty is the one brought to the United States by Minister Egan. It was transmitted to the Senate by President Harrison with his annual message and referred to the com- mittee on foreign relations. There was no discussion of the measure yesterday, and no roll call was taken, but the Vice- President declared that it had received the votes of two-thirds of the senators.

Byrnes Replies to Dr. ‘ Parkllnrst’s Last .llttaek. _— HIs 'VIEWS CONCERNING .THE SOCIAL EVIL. Several Sharp Thrusts Made at His Assailant. NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Supt. Byrnes had his innings yesterday in the controversy between Dr. Parkhurst and himself. In a lengthy statement he replies to the most recent of the attacks made upon the po- lice department by the famous president of the Society for the Prevention of Crime. Among other things Supt. Byrnes says: “Dr. Parkhurst went abroad this sum- mer and saw something of life in the great cities of Europe, I am told. Is he prepared to say that he sought it there and did not find it; that it is harder to find it there than in New York? If so, his. observations are sadly at variance with those of most travelers, whose testimony is to the effect that New York is a cleaner, purer city than even those foreign com- munities where vice in the special form toward which his attacks are directed is deliberately licensed for the purpose of keeping it within restraint. There is no doubt about this. No woman need fear insult in New York’s streets; no man need fear danger to his morals here un- less he is out looking for it. “But, says Dr. Parkhurst, the law spe- cifically charges the police with the duty of suppressing gambling,prostitution and other forms of disorder. That is also true. And the police are doing what they can. Since the middle of April, when I became Superintendent of Police—that is, in seven months and a half—the police have under my orders raided and closed 440 houses of ill fame and arrested 2,572 women who were inmates of them, 34 gambling houses and 286 prisoners, and 32 policy shops and 49 prisoners. The evidence of crime which his agency has collected they have used for their own purposes. What those purposes some- times were was shown in the arrest of his chief detective the other day for black- mail and extortion. Dr. Parkhurst may still believe in his innocence. I do not. _ “Theoretically, there are two radical ways to deal with prostitution. One is to suppress it, the other to license it. Prac- tically there is only one way. Suppressed it can never be. Even Dr. Parkhurst will not claim that, though he insists that the police shall do it. License it we will not. There remains only a middle course—a compromise course if Dr. Parkhurst chooses. It is just that, and nothing else —a compromise with the public con- science that knows its own guilt, as did the crowd that brought the woman to the Saviour, and sneaked away every one when He bade him who was sinless cast the first stone. That course is to thrust the evil as far as possible out of sight, hide it from public view Where it cannot corrupt the morals of our growing youth. That is all the police can do, and that they are doing to the best of their-ability. It is the only way that is open to us. If Dr. Parkhurst knows a better, if any cit- izen or set of' citizens can Show me ,a bet- ter, or can or will aid me in making that one more thorough 'by 'any evidence in their possession, I shall gladly do'all that lies in my power to help him or them. “The breaking up of houses of ill-fame simply results in the scattering of their inmates through tenement and apartment houses, where they do infinitely more harm than before, because Of their im- mediate contact with the growing youth and the example of easy living they set. That example is a danger that is too dear- ly bought at any price. By that I do not mean that I have made up my mind to let the houses of ill-fame in this city alone hereafter any more than in the past. I shall continue to do exactly what I have done—to keep the evil out of the sight of Dr. Parkhurst’s young parishioners if I cannot keep it out of his. Even after all he has said about me I will agree to help the doctor suppress such houses against which he has or can procure evidence to the utmost of my ability.” PARKHURST’S AGENT HELD. Chief Detective Gardner Must Answer to Two Indictments. N EW YORK, Dec. 9.—The Grand Jury heard testimony yesterday from Inspector McLaughlin as to the charge of extortion preferred against Charles W. Gardner, chief detective of Dr. Parkh'urst’s Society for the Prevention of Crime. The Grand Jury found two indictments against Gardner. The first indictment charges him with extortion, in accepting $50 from' Mrs. Clifton on October 26, and assuring her that, for $50 a month he would give her better protection than the police could give her. The second indictment charges Gardner with attempted extortion in demanding $150 from Mrs. Clifton, on the evening of December 4, as the price of preventing her prosecution on an indict- ment charging her with keeping a dis- orderly house. Gardner will be arraigned in the General Sessions to-day, before Judge Martine,to plead to theindictments. A Strike of Questionable Success. CHICAGO, Dec. 9. —- It is a. question Whether the strike of the telegraph opera- tors ordered by Grand Chief Ramsey, of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway at 10 o’clock yesterday is a suc- cess.

World. The .“I'orld a COconnus Shell. The savage islanders of the South Pacific believe that the world is a cocoa- , nut shell of enormous dimensions, at the top of which is a single aperture com- municating with the upper air, where human beings dwell. At the very bot- tom of this imaginary shell is a stem gradually tapering to a point, which rep- resents the beginning of all things. This point is a spirit or demon without human form, whose name is “ Root of All Ex- istence.” By him the entire fabric of creation is sustained. In the interior of the cocoanut shell. at its very bottom, lives a female demo:.. So narrow is the space into which she 13 crowded that she is obliged to sit forever with knees and chin touching. Her name is “ The Very Beginning,” and mm her are sprung numerous spirits. Th'ey inhabit five different floors, into which the great cocoanut is din'ded. From certain of these spirits mankind is descended. The islanders, regarding themselves as the only real men and women, were formerly accustomed to re- gard strangers as evil spirits in the guise of humanity, whom they killed when they could, offering them as sacrifices.— Washington Star. ..Ila .....- A Very High-Priced Seed.

A new cash register has just been in- vented that will be welcomed by store- keepers throughout the country. By it a proprietor can sit in his room and tell exactly what the day’s receipts at the store are. The cash drawer is opened automm ? sally by the action of the lever which 2..-gisters the sale. The drawer can be opened and change made without registering, but every time it is opened a record is made of the fact. In other words, if the drawer is opened Simply to make change no record is made of a sale, but a record is made that the drawer has been opened for the purpose of making change. A strong point of the invention is that there is no way of “ beating ” it. If any at- tempt is made to tamper. with it the bell rings. Furthermore, the bell rings when- ever anything gets out of order, and con- tinues to do so until the fault has been attended to. No money can be taken from the drawer without detection. The device is worked electrically, and the battery which supplies the current will last sixteen months without recharging, which can be done at slight expense. Smallest Dogs. The Mexican lap-dog is so very minute in size as to appear almost incredible to those who have not actually seen the animal itself. A well-known writer on natural history, speaking Of this tiny member of the canine species, says that “ it is precisely like those white woolen toy dogs which sit upOn a pair of bel- lows, and when pressed give forth a non- descript sound intended to do duty for a legitimate bark. ” There is another variety of small dog in China and Japan; they have the pe- culiarity of having no hair on their skins and their feet are web-footed. Rembrnnde’s Ruse. , Rembrandt one day suddenly disap- peared from Amsterdam. The report of his death got abroad, and great numbers went to condole with the poor widow, and offered large sums of money for a painting, drawing, or a mere sketch by the hand of the famous artist. The whole of his stock was cleared out at fabulous prices. A few months later Rembrandt turned up again safe and sound, and his clever stratagem created no little merriment among the jolly burgher’s of the northern Venice. \Vould Do His Share.
