WHERE IT OCCURIIED.
The collision occurred about 400
Tarda west of the bridge over the
Hackfinsaek river. The train known
as the Dover express, which had made
its laac stop at Newark, aftr call
ing at Short HilU and Jlilbnrn,
bad alowed np at this point,
presumably to make lure that the
drawbridge was closed, when, accord
ing to the statements of several pas
sengers, before there was even time to
send ont a hrnki man to flair any ap
proaching train, the express wai rnn
Into by the train known as the 7.f3
from South Orango, express to High
land avenue, Brick church and East
Orange.
The force of the collision was terrific.
The engine of the Orange train No. 91,
nnd known as the "W. H. .Lewis," End
driven by David Hoffman, plonghed
into the rear car of the Dover train, a
combination smoking and baggage oar,
nearly a quarter of its length, and forced
It into toe next forward car, so
that the tipper parts of both cars were
nearly severed from the flooring and
platforms. Hoffman jumped as ho saw
the car of tho tram iti front of him,
aud was badly injured. The fireman,
however, stnek to his post, and was
practically uninjured, having only re
ceived a cut on the back of bis head
The force of the collision knocked
the rear truck of the engino's tender
Ml the tracks, and the platform of the
the first two carl on the South Orango
train were siiiuslied, but none of the
passengers on that train was injured,
ulthough many of them complained of
the effects of the shock.
IT WAS A HOftltinLR SCKNE.
The result of the col ision, however,
in the last two cars of the Dover ex
press was far ditforent. The sight was
horrible. Ae soon as tbe passengers
who were uninjured recovered from
the sbock they piled out of the cars
pell mell, and hastily proceeded to the
assistance of the injured. Tbe track was
literally strewn with bodies of those
who were dead Or dying, Apparently the
bodies of many persons bad bean
thrown clear out of the two cars by the
collision, one side of the rear car being
knocked completely off, and the dead
and wonnded just thrown along the
track. The bodies of three or four
passengers were dragged oat of the
telescoped cars, bat it seemed to tbe
passengers that nearly all tbe dead nnd
wonnded were thrown on the track bv
the collision. The surviving passen
gers did the best they could for tbe
sufferers.
There were cries for physicians and
whisky aud water for tho wounded
There was fortunately ORE physioiau,
a Dr. Reynolds, on the i-oene, and luck
ily ho was one who escaped uninjured,
it is sai l, from tho fatal rear car. Hs
did all in his power, in common with
other passengers, to assist In
rescuing the dead nnd relieving the
8ufferins of the wounded and dy
ing. All tho dead except four wrre
finally removed to Hobokon, and the
injured were taken to various hospitals.
The bodies of four mn who were
killed were placed iu the baggage car
of the Sonth Orange train. Two of
them only had been identified up to
midday. Due of them WEE frightfully
injured about tho head, and the fen
tmes almost unreoognliable.
NOINCER HOFFMAN kksfonsihle.
The conductor of the South Orange
train was W. T. Rundio, one of the
company's most trustworthy employes.
He was in the middle of the tram tak
ing up tickets when th collision
occurred. Iho conductor of the
Dover express was Jerry George, who
has always been regarded as one of
the most careful conductors on
the li ie, aqd especi ally carelul in the
ui ,tler of sending out tho rear ur.ike-
tiieu to tltg approaching trams No
blame It WES said could tie attributed
to the conductor of the Dover express,
as it was pretty well agreed by nil at
the scene of the accl 'ent, that a brake
man was sent out to Hit: the South Or
ange train as soon as it begau to slacken
speed. The person respond nl for the
collision appears to be Hoffman, the
engineer of the South Orange tiaiu
Passengers on that train said that the
traiu while not going at its usual rate
of spend, on account of the fog, was
nevertheless traeling at the rate of
twenty-five miles an hour, bv no means
as cautiously as the Dover traiu.

P3CEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
Biief R?sunu of Work Dons m the
Hou a:id Senate.
WasihshtuN, Jan. 15, The Hawaiian
question was up in tho bouse today,
brought by Mr, Doutelle, Maine, and.
resulted 111 a sharp three sided debate
participated in ry the speaker. Mr.
Houtolie and Mr. Millin, Tennessee.
When the excitement caused by this
unexpected episode bad subsided the
tariff bill was read through in full,
consuming nearly two and one-half
hours. The first amendment was of
fered by Mr. Wilson to the tobacco
schedule. The purpose of tnis amend -ment
was to simplify the bill and
lessen the danger of evading its pro
visions. An amendment was offered to this by
Mr. Payne (Rp., N. Y ,) in the Hue of
raising tho amount of tariff on to
bacco, and two substitutes were offered
to theso amendments, one by Paynter,
Kentucky, and one by Marsh, Illinois,
I at only the original amendment of
Mr. Wilson camo through a vote safely.
On this question three Democrats voted
with the BepnUlorns, viz. ; Cooper,
Florida; Speiry and Deforest, Connec
ticut. Two or three other resolutions
were off jred by the chairman of the
committee on ways and means and
were agreed to, after one of the most
interesting and excited discuisious that
the bill has yet giveu rise to.
The open session of the senate today
was of very brief duration. After the
presentaaion of several petitions against
the passage of the Wilson tariff bill
with others favoring government con
trol of the telegraph, etc., the resolu
tions of the Portland, Oregon, cham
ber of commerce condsmniug tnestate
ments made in Governor Pennoyer's
open letter te President Cleveland, were
presented and rea 1 and referred to the
committed on edncation and labor.
Thin on motion of Mr. Hill the senate
went into executive sessiou to consider
the Hornblowor nomination, Mr. Gal
linger, of Now Hampshire, graciously
postponing a sp3ech he had expected to
make today on the tariff question. The
executive session lusted until 7 o'clock
this evening and then adjourned as
soon as tbe doors wore re-opined.

EOJtETARY CARLISLE has made
' public through a letter addressed
to Mr. Voorbses, chairman of
' the senate Committee on finance,
an authentic statement of tho present
critical condition of the (Jolted States
treasury ami of ils urgent needs. The
letter says in part-
When my annual report was prepared,
it was estimated that the expenses during
the current fiscal year would exceed the
receipts to the amount of about f'-Jl.tKIO,-000,
and 1 asked congress for authority to
issue and sell bonds, or other f irms of ob
ligations, to au amount not exceeding ."'),
(100,(100. That estimate was much too low.
If the same average monthly deficiencies
should continue the total differences be
tween receipts snd expenditures on the
Until day of Juuenext will be 178,167,583.
Thecoin reserve has been reduced to ?74,-
and it is evident from tho condition
of the treasury that the department will
have no means to defray the ordinary ex
penses of tho government unless h. largo
part of tho payments are hereafter inado
out ot that Hind. It this is done, tile com
reserve will be reduced by reb. 1 to
about $lXi,0'll,S84,a sum wholly inadequate
for tbe purpose for which it was created.
CABLISLI Has an EXPEDIENT,
On account of this critical condition of
the treasury 1 have considered it my duty,
iu udditlon to the earnest recommenda
tions o uituiiied in my annual report, to
appear twice before your committee, aud
after full explanations of the situation,
urge prompt legislative action on this sub
ject. With the permission of the commit
tee, I have prepared ami presented for its
consideration a bill, which, if promptly
passed, would, in my opinion, meet all tne
reqireineuts of the situation by providing
the necessary means for defraying the pub
lic expenses and replenishing the coin re
serve to such an extent as tosssure the
maintenance of the pnrlty of all forms of
United States currency.
While this proposed measure of relief
has not yet been disposed of or consiuer, d
by the committee, the great differences of
opinion which are known to exist in both
brooches of coagross concerning the pro
priety of granting additional or amended
authority to issue bouds in any form or
for any purpose render it doubtful whethor
now legislation up'u tho subject can be
secured m time to provide the means
which are imperatively demanded in order
to preserve the credit and honor of the
ioverumeut.
The necessity for relief at this time is so
urgent, and the prospect of material im
provement in the financial conditiou of
the government is so problematical, that
unless nuthority to issue and sell shorter
bouds, or other obligations, boaring a
lower rate of interest than that specified in
the existing, is granted by congress at a
very early day. 1 shall repl constrained by
a sense of public duty to exorciso the pow
er already conferred to the extent nt least
of providing an adequate coin reserve If
this actiou should bo taken, congress
ought, nevertheless, to provide promptly
for tho deficiency In tho revenues during
the current hscal year.
WHAT CAKLISI.K'S BILL, IS.
The publication of this important
letter, it is conhilontlv expected, will
be followed by soma immediate con -
sideration of tho question by congress
The bill which is referred to in the
abovo letter authorizes the secretary of
the treasury to issue from tliiis to timo
as he may deem necessary, and iu such
form as he may prescribe, coupon or
registered bonds of the United States
in denominations of $?5 und mul
tiples tnereof, redeemable in coin
at the pleasure of the United States
fter ysars from date, bearing
interest at a fats not exceeding !i per
centum per annum, payable quarterly
in coin, and to sell the same at not Uss
than par in coin: and the proceeds of
such bonds shall be held and usod to
maintain the parity of all forms of
money coined or issued by the United
States, but the secretary of the treas
ury is hereby authorized to use from
time to time such part of such proceeds
as may be necessary to supply the de
ficiencies iu the public revenues during
tho fiscal year 1S&4

frustrated by the teacher who had the
little boy in charge.
The lady formerly resided in Con
necticut, but now makes her home In
Park Place, this city. Yesterday morn
ing, accompanied by Mrs. Kate Baknre,
of Alarion street, she visited the school
ami asked permission to pee the boy.
It was granted and then Mrs. Pau
seek! wanted to take him out of the
room for a few moments. This request
was refused as the teacher had become
suspicious of the woman.
Throwing off ail disguise Mrs. Pan
sacki declared that the boy had
been unjustly taken from her and she
appealed to the teacher to give her pos
session of him. She likewise appealed
to the little boy to go to her, but he
drew back iu aversion and declared he
did like her and would not accompany
her, words which drew tears from the
anxious woman's eyes.
The teacher positively refused to al
low the woman to take the child out
of the building and requested her to
withdraw from the room along with
her companion. After some protest
she complied, but remained near the
building until the recess hour, thiuk
ing theu to be able to spirit away tho
boy.
Again she was disappointed. The
boy was kept within the school and a
messeuger dispatched to tho home of
his father, Pius Susky.of Phelps street.
He was not at home, but Mrs. Snsky,
the boy's stepmother, responded in
haste, and at the noon hour took her
child home. Mrs. Pansecki and her
companion were still lingering about
the building in the hope of gettiug the
boy.
His mother was Pius Snsky's first
wife who died while he was an infant.
Tho child after his mother's death was
given into the care of his aunt, Mrs
Pansecki and lived with her until
last September, his futher paying for
his keeping. Somo time ago Susky
married again and lust September took
his son from the aunts home in Con
necticut and brought him to this city.
Mrs. Pausecko followed some timo
later for the purpose of claiming the
boy. Tho father retused to part with
him ami the unhappy woninu decided
to use strategy.
Yesterday afternoon Pius Susky
swore ont warrants before Alderman
DeLaoy for the arrest of Mrs. Pansecki
and Mrs. Baknre, charging them with
abduction, but later, on their promis
ing not to again molest the child, tbe
churges were withdrawn,
