An excursion train on the Tioga branch
of the Erie road was -wrecked last evening
by running into an engine standing on the
track near Tioga Junction. Two people
were killed outright and more than 20
others were badly icjured, some of them
probably fatally. Fire destroyed the
wrecked cars.
fSrZCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DI8FATCH.1
Elmiba, X. Y., September 16. One of
the most distressing of all the recent rail
way wrecks in America occurred this even
ing at one of the most attractive sec
tions of natural scenery in all North
ern Pennsylvania. It was at Tioga
Junction, on the down grade of the old El
mira, State Line and Tioga Railroad (now
the Tioga branch of the Erie), where the
track joins the Pine Creek division of the
Pall Brook Company's Railroad, 25 or SO
miles south of Elmira.
A TRAIXLOAD OF EXCURSIONISTS.
The evening train south on the Tioga is
always well patronized, and to-night it was
so crowded that seven coaches were filled
with special excursion passengers return
ing home. It is customary to rnn those
trains very rapidly down the heavy
grade approaching Tioga Junction,
elide past the station on the
main trick, and then, backing up toward
Lawrenceville, stop on the branch at Tioga
station and proceed to back the train to
Lawrenceville Junction, four miles north
west, where the Tioga and Tall Brook lines
converge.
A riCTURESQ.CE RUN.
Few livelier or more picturesque evening
runs are made by railway trains than this
rapid whirl down the grade to the junction
southward, and its rc-erse, likewise down
grade, from Tioga Junction backward to
Lawrenceville.
But this evening's train with seven
coaches full of humanity never got past the
branch at the junction. At that point a
great Fall Brook jumbo freight engine had
just started to pull up past the main-line
connection, its engineer supposing he had
TLENTT OF TIME
to get out ahead of the passenger train
which must here make the shift. -The wet
rails under the passenger train, and its ac
celerated velocity by reason of its length
and weight, conspired together to prevent a
stoppage short of the branch, as might
usually be done, and it crashed into the
heavy freight engine, killing and maiming
until its pitiable victimsf numbered at least
25 killed and injured.
A DETAILED ACCOUNT.
A press account brings details of the dis
aster as follows: It was Erie passenger train
No. 109, on the Tioga river branch, that ran
into Fall Brook freight train No. C2 at
Tioga Junction. All the passenger
coaches were subsequently burned. It
occurred about 7:05 r. m. The train
from Elmira south ran into a Fall
Brook engine, killing and injuring
in all about 25 persons. The seeming re
fusal of the air brakes to work made the en
gineer still less able to stop the train at the
station. The engineer and fireman jumped
lor their lives and escaped with slight in
juries. The smoker and three passenger
cars were smashed into kindling wood. The
wreck caught fire, and it was with difficulty
that some of the passengers were rescued from
the burning WTeck. The flames lit up the
heavens for miles around and people rushed
to the scene from all parts to render what
aid they could to the injured.
A message was sent to Elmira asking for
medical aid, and a train was sent in a very
short time. In the meantime, doctors from
Lawrenceville and Tioga had arrived and
given all possible assistance. Stretchers
were quickly provided and tne wounded
were carried to neighboring houses.

A PECULIAR STEIKE.
Two Hundred Polish Freight Handlers He-
fuse to Work Sundays for Week
Day Pay They Go Ont
and Their Places
Will be Filled.
rSPECIAX. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Buffalo, September 16. About 200
freight handlers employed by the New
York Central Railroad went on strike
through religious and financial motives.
Many of them are Polish, and they disliked
working on Sunday, while others wanted
extra pay for Sunday work. Disregard of
the religion of a number of the Polish
freight handlers led to the striking of 125
of them. They went out yesterday, and to
day very little freight wa's handled in the
cast-bound and west-bound freight houses
of that roaS on Ohio street.
The strike came about in this way; The
lot of these freight handlers is not a par
ticularly ' happy one. They get employ
ment only about six months out of the year,
and work ten hours a day at 14 cents per
hour, making 51 40 per day. If they are
laid off at 3 p. at. they are docked for the
rest of the day. But the company is likely
to lay them off at any time if there are no
boats to load or unload. A gentleman who
knows all their grievances, said that he had
seen them sent home on Friday and called
back to work on Sunday aud nothing extra
allowed them. They have no union to
enforce their rights. For some tune these
men, who are Poles, have been thinking of
asking for a half dav's extra pay on Sunday.
Trobably the strike would have come
anyway, in due season, but it was precipi
tated to-day. The Poles, who all belong to
church societies, asked to be allowed to at
tend the ceremony of the blessing of the
bells of St Adelbert's Church. Being re
fused permission they struck. It was said
thai if the members of these societies do not
turn out when ordered they are fined ?L
So it was a serious matter with the men.
No advance in pay is asked for. They
want the extra pay on Sunday only. No
trouble is expected. The strikers will be
paid off.to-morrow, and the bosses will try
to fill their places.
AFTER HER MONEY.
A Boston Woman Warns the 87,000
She
Loaned a Railroad Man.
Sr-ECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Boston, September 16. Colonel Mal
colm Henderson, of Canada, Texas and
Boston, was landed in jail to-night for beat
ing the Crawford House out of a board bill
amounting to upward of 51,000. The
Colonel is wanted also by Mrs. Helen Wall,
a widow, who claims he has swindled her
out of 57, )0. Colonel Henderson, it seems,
is part owner of the "Wichita and Dallas
railroad. At one time he was its chief
owner, but during his absence from Texas,
in the North, his right-hand man, one Dr.
Reed, so the Colonel claims, so mismanaged
things that Mr. Jay Gould got possession of
the property and holds it still.
While an amanuensis to the Colonel Mrs.
"Wall learned of the magnitude of his busi
ness operations, and having considerable
money of her own, she accepfed his offer to
put some of it into one of his land schemes.
Her business relations with the Colonel
were, however, very unfortunate, and she is
trying to recover the money she advanced
on his note. She secured judgment against
him once, but failed to file it in time, owing,
she claims, to the duplicity of her lawyer.
"When she visited the Colonel and demanded
back her money, she asserts, the Colonel
pulled out a revolver and threatened to
shoot if she didn't keep quiet. The Colo
nel's arrest for the hotel claim against him
has revived her hopes, and she thinks if she
cannot get the moey eh; will set some of
his land securities, which are quite valua
ble. A THOROUGH. INQUIRY
Being Dlade by the Canadian Minister of
Cnstoms Just at Present.
rSFECLU. TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.
Ottawa, September 16. The Minister
of Cnstoms is having a thorough'inquiry
made into the carrying trade between Can
ada and the United States, and the proba
ble effect on the Dominion railways should
any restrictions be placed upon their con
nection with railways on the other side of
the line. A prominent politician who is in
the confidence of Sir John Macdonald said
to-day that it wasthe intention of the Gov
ernment Dext session to make arrangements
for the appointment of a commission to in
quire into the trade relations between the
United States and Canada, as it has become
evident that they cannot go to the country
again for re-election without making some
attempt to learn whether the increasing de
mands for closer commercial intercourse be
tween the two countries can be met.
The Liberals have carried nearly every
by-election for the Dominion Parliament
which they have contested on those grounds
since the general elections in 1SSG.

Merrill, of Massachusetts, to be
Tried Next He Hays Tanner
Had to be Fired.
'SPECIAL TELEPBAM TO TOE DISFATCH.1
Washington, September 1,6. General
Warner returned from Deer Park this
evening, and confirmed the report sent out
from that place that he had declined the
appointment as Commissioner of Pensions
on account of his inability to afford the loss
of his lucrative law practice. It is said
that the place has been offered to Major
Merrill, of Massachusetts, who has been a
pension agent, Department Commander
and very popular Grand Army man for
years, and it is thought there is little doubt
that he will accept.
A special from Boston says: Major George
S. Merrill, who was summoned to Washing
ton to confer with President Harrison in
regard to a successor to Tanner, has re
turned, and said to-day to The Dispatch
correspondent:
The removal of Tanner was a serious matter,
bat the President had no other course to
pursue. By so doing he has aroused the indig
nation of G. A. R. men all over the country,
and he knew that great wisdom would have to
be shown in selecting a man to take the office.
In conferring with different men but one per
son was mentioned. General Warner. He was
looked upon by all as the one man who could
unite the factions and restore harmony. He is
beloved by all tho G. A. R. men throughout
the country, and they know that he has their
interests at heart. It was necessary to find a
man who wa in sympathy with the aamims
tration's desire for a broader construction of
the pension laws, but who would not miscon
strue the laws aDd slice off great chunks of the
surplus, 'regardless of the legal restrictions.
That is where Tanner made a mistake. Warner
possesses ail tho qualifications for theolhce,
and the greatest pressure was brought to bear
upon him to induce him to accept. I'm afraid
he won't accept.
"In case General Warner declines, can you
give me any idea who else will be selceted for
the officer" was asked. Toe Major admitted
that he wouldn't be surprised to receive a tele
gram from President Harrison asking him to
accept.

Eastern Pnpor Makers Want No English
Syndlcato in Theirs.
rSFECIAI. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!,
Boston, September 16. The paper man
ufacturers hereabouts have received a cir
cular from persons acting in behalf of an
English syndicate, asking if they know of
any paper mills in this section of the coun
try which could be bought, and which
would be likely to prove a safe and profita
ble investment. The men composing the
syndicate were prepared with a large
amount of money to make an investment, if
they could be sure that the business would
pay liberally. The manufacturers do not
profess to be in any great fear of the rumored
English invasion. They are bv no means
enamored, of the proposal of the English,
men, as they recognize that it is a character
istic of the people of that country to "get
what they can and hold what they get."
But they maintain that the syndicate will
not get a foothold at all in this country. They
argue that an ounce of prevention is better
than a pound of cure, and propose to keep
them out rather than to pnt them out after
they have once taken hold.
It appears that one of the inducements
being "oflered by the syndicate is that the
employes of the mill will" not be disturbed, but
allowed to retain their present Dositions, the
intended purchases being merely to take the
form of a change of ownership without in
any way affecting the working of the con
cerns. FELL LIKE A THUNDERBOLT.

The Nicely brothers, in jail at Smerset,
under sentence of death, made a desperate
attempt to escape yesterday, and did get
away into the woods, where they were re
captured by crowds of excited men. A
turnkey of the jail was probably fatally shot
by the murderers. Lynching is anticipated
if he dies.
(SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.1
Somerset, September 16. The Nicely
brothers, confined in the county jail under
sentence of death for the murder of Farmer
TTmberger, in February last, escaped to-day
by shooting Turnkey MeMillen twice in the
left side, inflicting wounds from which it is
thought he will die. Since their recent at
tempt to escape by digging a hole in the
wall of the prison, they have been kept
confined in cells, but were allowed in the
corridor at meal time, while their dinner
was being banded into them. To-day the
watchman, young Lehr, of Pittsburg, a qea
federate who is awaiting trial for shoot
ing young Scott, of the East End, covered
the turnkey with a revolver while Dnve
Nicely sprang on the turnkey and held him
till his brother Joe fired two bullets into his
left side
CLOSE TO HIS HEART.
The two murderers, each with a pair of
revolvers, dashed through the jail out into
the yard, and broke for a strip of woodland
on the outskirts of the town
The alarm was given, and citizens by the
score, many of them mounted on fleet
horses, started in pursuit. The wood was
quickly snrrounded, and a .scouring party
started through it. Dave was discovered up
a tree, and the persuasive powers of several
guns had to be brought to "bear upon him
before be would agree to come down. A
five-shooter Smith & Wesson revolver was
found upon his person, with a large bag of
cartridges.
The crowd was wild with excitement, and
made several ineffectual attempts to lynch
Nicely, only being prevented by the several
resolute officers present.
Joe was taken about an hour afterward.
He was concealed under some brush, and
when his captors dragged him out he fell
upon his knees and begged them piteously
not to kill him.
THREATENED LYNCHING.
On the way to town the parties with the
prisoners in charge were set upon several
times by the crowd, who tried to take him
from them and hang him. It was with great
difficulty that the officers kept the crowd
back, and several times the prisoner was
struck in the face, back and on the head
with stones and clubs.
A revolver, with two empty chambers,
was found on Joe, and two mora revolvers
were found under the floor of one of the jail
cells. The murderer's father was in town at
the time, and'was the only person who did
not seem at all excited.
The turnkey is thought to be dying to
night, and should his death occur it is al
most certain that the angry and excited men
who are now standing on the streets and
around the prison will batter down the jail
doors and take the prisoners out and hang
them.
THE GREAT CONUNDRUM
is how an arsenal of six revolvers came into
the possession of the prisoners. The rela
tives and confederates of the Nicely boys
have been hanging around the town and jail
for several days, and there is no doubt but
that a deep-laid and determined plan of es
cape had been hatched. The jail is old and
dilapidated, and it is extremely question
able if its dozen of hardened prisoners will
be found therein at the next session of court,
which convenes next week.
The town is being heavily patrolled to
night, as grave fears are entertained that
an attempt will be made by the friends of
the Nicelys to rescue them. These mur
derers have proved themselves the hardest
criminals ever tried in this county.
AND STILL NO JURY.
Another Day Spent In Tnla Effort la the
Cronla Trial.
Chicago, September 16. When the
Cronia trial began to-day Lawyer Forrest,
for the defense, challenged the special
venire of jurymen on the ground that the
regular panel had not been exhausted. The
Court overruled the challenge. Some Inter
esting matters were developed during the
examination of Cyrus M. Davis. He was
aske'd the question, "Have you conscien
tious scruples against the death penalty?"
"I have on circumstantial evidence."
"Suppose the circumstantial evidence is
6trong enough to convince you beyond a
reuMjuuuie uuuut ui tuc ui.ii ui lug paiuta,
would vou still object?"
"Yes sir."
His aoubt as to his own willingness to
find a man guilty of a crime that
would involve the death penalty led to his
challenge by the State's attorney, and the
challenge was sustained by the Court

The London Dock Laborer Inclined to
Slake More Trouble An Appeal to
the Lord Mayor Some of
the Complaints.
London, September 16. Much ill-feeling
exists between the dock laborers and the
"blacklegs," the name applied to the men
who took the places of the strikers, and the
former refuse to work with them. Several
encounters have already occurred Between
them. Many of the dock laborers protest
that th j leaders of the strike had no right
to agree to the proposal that the
strikers should work hand in band with
the "blacklegs." The officials of the
dock companies make a strong complaint to
the Lord Mayor against the action of the
returning strikers, and he has promised 'to
do his utmost to compel the men to live up
to the terms of their' agreement. Mean
while, the situation is regarded as being so
serious that a meeting of the joint docks'
committee, the conciliation conrtnittee and
the leaders of the strikers was called to con
vene at the Mansion House.
A deputation of ship owners arrived at the
Mansion House wnile the meeting was in
progress. Mr. Burns, one of the leaders of
the strikers, spoke concerning the situation
and the causes which led to it, and instanced
several cases where unreasonable preference
had been given to '"blacklegs." It was final
ly agreed by all those present at the meeting
to endeavor to have the agreement kept in
tact by all the parties interested.
At "the meeting at Poplar to-night, Mr.
Burns said that the treaty with the work
men had been broken by subordinate offi
cials of the dock companies. Some of the
wharfingers also had tried to get men at the
old terms, but had failed. TJnlessthe agree
ment with the men was kept there would be
another strike. The directors of the dock
companies, however, bad assured him that
they would prevent any unfair preference
being shown, and the ship owners had ad
vised the directors to pay the fares of the
"blacklegs" and send them back to their
homes.
Mr. Sidney Buxton, member of Parlia
ment for the Poplar division ot Tower Ham
lets, expressed the belief that matters would
settle down quietly in a few days. He un
derstood from Mr. Tillett that the men
would be advised to continue at work, while
the "blacklegs" would be gradually weeded
out or induced to join the Dockmen's
Union.
Nearly 3.000 of the Surrey dockmen went
back quietly to work to-day.

THINKS IT ALL A MYTH.
A New York Brower Who Takes No Stock
In English Syndicates.
rSr-ECIAL TELEGBA2I TO THE DISPATCH. 1
New Yore, September 16. "Xhere are
two element of error in the story tele
graphed from the West as to the formation
of the American brewery syndicate," said
Isaac TJntermeyer to-day. "In the first
place, there is no such thing as an English
tyndicate to combat. The recent operations
iu breweries, which have been erroneously
attributed to an English syndicate, are
werely a rearrangement of various business
operations in the form of separate stock com
panies. They do not prqpose to unite to
control the market, either as to product or
prices. They are just as much American
is ever. The present owners are retained to
manago the business, and are among the
stockholders.
"Then, as to tne union of the St. Louis
brewers, which "has been referred to. That
is in no sense a national movement. It is
analagous to the local union of the New
York brewers, for local protection, and the
papers of the union state that fact in ex
plicit terms."

SIX MONTHS IN' JAIL

A FINE OF $1,000 ALSO IMPOSED
For Maintaining a Naisance In the Shape

CUT OFF SOME QUAKER CITI STREETS.
Sis lawyers Mate a Determined First Against
Imprisonment '
The General Superintendent of the Phila
delphia and Reading Railroad was yester
day sentenced to six months in jail for
maintaining a nuisance m the shape of a
fence along the line of its road on disputed
ground. The Jndge said a fine would not
be sufficient punishment.
(SPECIAL TELEOKAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Philadelphia, September 16. Some
months ago Isaac A. Sweigard, General
Superintendent of the Philadelphia and
Reading Eailroad, was convicted, in the
old Court House, of maintaining a nuisance.
This nuisance consisted in a fence erected
along the line of ihe Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad at Port Richmond, cut
ting off access to streets on either side of the
road. A motion for a new trial was made,
and to-day Judge FInletter overruled the
motion and was about to Impose sentence,
when Thomas Hart, Jr., counsel for Mr.
Sweigard and the railroad company, in
formed ihe Court that as there were several
important legal questions involved, it was
desirable to obtain a decision from the Su
preme Court upon them, and that he pur
posed taking
A "WRIT OP ERROR
to that tribunal. In the meantime he de
sired that judgment upon the verdict of
guilty should not "be entered at this time,
saying that immediately upon the affirm
ance by the Supreme Court pf the proceed
ings in the Quarter Sessions the fence would
be at once removed, but if jndgment'was to
be entered he thought that a fine would an
swer, and that no imprisonment should be
imposed.
Judge Finletter replied that ,he would
treat this corporation as anyone else. It
had no title to the land, and, in fact, had
no right of way. The only right that it
possessed was the consent of the owners
over whose land the railroad passed, who
permitted its use without requiring dam
ages from the company, and, notwithstand
ing this, the company bad gone and exer
cised the right of ownership, and
HAD MAINTAINED THIS NUISANCE.
The imposition of a fine, he thought,
would be useless, "for what difference
would it make," he said, "to the company
if it owed 510,000, more or less. If a simple
fine were imposed it might be paid and the
company continue to maintain the nuisance,
whereas if imprisonment were imposed it
would be notice to every one who should
work at or continue the maintenance of the
nuisance that they were liable to imprison
ment." r
For these reasons, and others, he imposed
a. fine of $l,00O.and sentenced Mr. Sweigard
to six months, imprisonment He added
that the imprfsonment would not be en
forced without giving time to Mr. Hart to
get his writ of error and an allocatur from
the Supreme Court "Hereafter," he said,
"if the Supreme Court should affirm the
judgment and the nuisance be abated, he
might not enforce the sentence of imprison
ment."' Mr. Hart said to the Court that
the fence would come down in 24 hours.

Paris, September 16. The match, be
tween Prince Hatzfeldt and the daughter of
Mr. C. P. Huntington has been broken
off. The Pacific Railroad magnate has con
cluded that he will not pay the Prince's
debts, which should be settled by the
Prince's father and mother, who are able
to do so if they wished. Mr. Hunting
ton declared to the Prince that he would
only allow Clara, who is an adopted
child, a modest income, and added that
it would be stopped altogether if there were
any attempt made to discount it Prince
Hatzfeldt indignantly refuses to accept any
such' terms.
The comment in American circles at
Paris is that Mr. Huntington has given
evidence of much good sense by his de
cision. It is asserted that he learned
during his trip through Germany
that Prince Hatzfeldt was not an honorable
man, and that there were several reasons
why he conld not live in his native
country. On learning Mr. Huntington's
intentions the Prince's ardor under
went a considerable modification, and
indeed, the only person whose
feelings of affection have suffered no change
is Miss Huntington herself, who is stLU ex
ceedingly anxious to acquire the Erince's
tarnished coronet and heart However, she
has no lack of suitors.
