The mall train wrecked left Phila delphia at 10.53 p. m. last night. He side the passenger, sleeping and day coaches, there were six mall cars di rectly behind the engine. The train had already entered the block and was going at a high rate of speed, when the axl? of a car on an east bound freight broke and threw several cars on t'he track directly in front of the rnnldly approaching mall. Engineer WolfkTil had hardly time to reverse his lever, when his engine struck the freight cars and turning completely around, toppled over a high embankment into the canal. In the mail cars the postal clerks were busy distributing the mail and how many of them escaped Instant death was remarkable. When the crash came four of the mall cars w?re smashed together In an unextricahlo mas and hustled from the tracks, the end of one ear landing in the canal. The injured clerks crawled from the broken cars and escaped the dreaful death of cremation, for the wreck soon took flre and began to blase fiercely. Help was telegra phed for to Harris burg will JITfRTnTown.' The Harrlsburg fire department and the staff of the City hospital were hurried to the scene on a special train. In the meanwhile a wrecking crew bad arrived and the two maill cars, that had not been broken, and the rest of the train were pulled sway from the burlng wreck. When the relief train from Harrlsburg arrived the firemen had hut little to do. as the four mail cars and their contents were nearly consumed, hut the physi cians were kept busv attending to the Injured who were hurriedly sent to Harrlsburg. Engineer and Fiicmnn Dead In the Canal. The wrecking crews at once started to clear the track and within a few hours trains were again running as usual past the scene of the wreck. Down In th canal the bodies of Kngl neer Wolfkill and Fireman Haines were burled beneath the weight of the mas sive: engine. The wrecking crews worked unceasingly and flnallv came upon the body of Wolfkill. The un fortunate engineer was found standing erect under the tender of the engine. The body was only slightly bruised, and the man had evidently drowned like a rat In a trap. It was not until 5. HI this evening that the body of Fireman Haines was found. He had evidently Jumped when the wreck came and had been caught beneath one nf the mall cars, for he was found under a truck of one of the cars. One let? was cut off and the bodv was othrr wlse badly mutilated. Both men were married and leave a widow and two children each. Wolfkill was one of the oldest engineers In the employ nf the railroad, while Haines was but' 27 years old. , With the exception of a few sacks directed to Louisville, St. Louis. Ore gon and one or two other points, the mall In the wrecked cars were de stroyed. The sacks were in the end of the ear that fell Into the canal, but the letters In them are badly damaged from water. TAIL EN I) COLLISION. Wreck nn the Now York, New llavcn and Hartford Hnllrnnd. Hyde Park, Mass., Oct. 24.-A tall end collision by which two persons were fatally hurt, three or four seriously in jured, and some twenty others more or less bruised, occurred directly In front of the Hyde Park statilon of ttai Provi dence division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad about 6:80 p. m. to-day. The passenger train which leaves Sharon for Boston at 5:18 was a trifle late ,nd was standing at V?e 2y'1! p"Tk takni taking on and discharging passengers, being directly on the time of the passenger train which left Providence for Boston at 4:13. The latter train came steaming down the line and crashed into the srtatlmiary train. The engine of the Providence train was forced through nearly half the length of the rear car, which was well filled with passengers and practic ally all the injured were occupant of that car. Two persons, one a brake maji on the -Sharon train, the other a woman, were found to be probably fa tally hurt, being terribly injured about the 1iead and body. Their names are at present unknown. The passengers were mostly men and their Injuries for the most part were In the nature of con tusions or bruises. The signals are said to have been set against the Providence train, but as the track on th1 section of the road is per fectly straight for a distance of nearly seven rnHea, it Is difficult to understand with tthe Information already at hand, why the engineer of tfhe latter could not 'have seen the train standing at the station in Mime to have prevented the collision. It to believed that the recent change In runwlng trains on the right track in stead of on the left, may have had something to do with the accident. AN ENGINE UPSET.

AKE BKITONS GETTING JEALOUS It Is Said iho American Studonts Were Monopolizing the Prises - At All Events, They Can No Longer Play In John Hull's Hack Yard. Washington, Oct. 24. Lieutenant Commander Cowles, the naval attache of the United States embassy of Lon don, has Informed the navy depart ment that the Hoyal School of Naval Architecture, at Greenwich, will, here after, decline to receive any construc tors of the United States navy. No reason for this action is assigned. Post graduate courses for American constructors are still open at Glas gow and nt Paris Cn-M univer sity has recently added a similar course to Its curriculum. T.i- ;.-.., , .... d Is a 'private Institution, and several members fur the construction corps nf the United States navy received ad vance training In naval architecture there. At the navy department several rea sons are ascrlhi-J for the action of the tireenwlch establishment, which Is a government affair, it Is bellved by some officials that the real cause of the declination to receive any more constructors of our navy Is a .desire on the part of the British government to prevent the United States from ob taining knowledge of Kngllsh ship building plans. Another suppositious reason Is that Great Britain believes that the United States government has advanced so far In the construction of warships that there Is no necessity for a further extension of the courtesy ox tended our young constructors when they can receive equally good training at home, but u far more Interesting supposition Is that the British naval authorities have hecome nettled over the success of the American construc tors at Greenwich In taking prizes over the heads of the British students. Nearly every year a member f the naval construction corps of the United States has taken either first or sec ond prizes, and some times both these prizes hnve been secured by the young Americans.

BURKE NOT YET BAFFLED If Agent Colquitt's Report Doesn't Suit, Will Appeal to Carlisle. LATTER DOESN'T LOVE HERRING Intelligence from Washington la to the Effect That the Musle In tho Col Icclorahip Case Has Not Yst Wholly Ceased. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Washington, Oct. 24. The report of Agent Colquitt, who was delegated to take testimony in charges preferred against Collector of Internal Revenue Herring by 'William J. Burke, has not yet been made. IMr. Colquitt is now In Alabama on official business, but Is expected to return the latter part of this or the first of next week. The treasury officials decline to discuss the -matter until Agent Colquitt makes his report. It .Is believed here that Mr. Burke, If he does not succeed In making a case against Collector Herring before the commissioner will take the matter he fore Secretary Carlisle. The secretary hus no great amount of love for Her ring, as he was appointed by the pres ident at the earnest solicitation of National Chairman Harrlty, and against the protest of the secretary. It Is understood that Mr. Burke has not filed all of his charges yet. nor will he with Commissioner Jliller, whom he suspects of showing partial ity toward OoGlector (Herring. The charges of Immorality nre only a side bsue In the case. Falsifying reports by Collector Herring are the serious offenses he Is charged with. These charges, as far as can be learned, have not been filed by Mr. iBurke. but will be at the proper time. If Mr. Burke can prove one-half of his charges against Herring there should be no question about his removal. W. P.. Bell. ONE WAS HELD OUT.

Whiie It is generally beMeveJ, and the Mayor has es mu?h as intimated, that he is opposed t .- the resolution, It is a matter of much conjecture as to wha: he intends to -do with it.

If It does become a law the board of apptois will take all the furniture an'i maps from the city assessors' office and have them virtually without a home. Thus Is f'r.e object of the board of ap peals, as they claim that the assosF--rs have no need of jn office no-.v that their olllce WTk has bf n taken from them by the creation of the appea's board.
