RESULTS OF THE ACCIDENT ; Forty-two Persons Are Killed Otit ! right and Many Dh of Tbeir In- juries An Engineer's Wife Drops Dead Upon Learning Her Husband's Fate List of Dead and Injured. Atlantic City. N. .1.. July 110. A ter rible railroad catastrophe took place on the Meadows about two miles out of this city shortly after ti.SU o'clock this en-idiot, resulting in the deaths of foity-two people, so far as now can be leal lied, and the wounding of eighty others. A train left here consisting: of seven cars over the West Jersey rail road, bearing a special excursion of Bed .Men and their ft lends of Bridge ton and Salem, and had reached the crossing of the Heading railroad, when It win? struck by the .V-10 down express I rum I'liiladelpliia, demolishing two cats and telescoping the two following. The engine of the Heading train be came a total wreck, killing the engineer and fatally injuring the tlremun, and tin- cur behind It also was thrown from the track, and many of its occupants killed or Injured. The responsibility of the collision has not yet been placed, but William Thurlow, the operator at the block lower, situated at the crossing, has been placed under arrest by order of the coroner. Leaving this city the tracks of the Went Jersey road run parallel to those of tie-Camden and Atlantic until after they cross the draw bridge, when they switch oft' to (lie south, crossing the Heading load at an obtuse angle. FOLLOWED SIGNALS John !reiner. the engineer of the West Jersey saw the Ktudirg train ap proaching tin crossing at a swift speed but as the signals were open for him to iiroceed on his way lie continued. His engine had barely cleared the track of the Heading when the loconio. live of the latter train, pvhlcli left I'liiladelpliia at "i.-io p. in. struck til ths! car full in the center, throwing It tar off the track Into a nearby ditch, and completely submerging it. The second car of the West Jersey train was also carried into the ditch, the third and fourth cars being telescoped. The engine of tin- Heading train was thrown to the other side of the track, cariying with it the til st coach. A few minutes utter the collision, to add to tile horror of the situation the boil er of the Heading locomotive exploded, scalding several to death, and casting its boiling spray over many of the In jured passengers. As soon as the news leached this city It spread widecast and thousands of people Mocked to the scene. The road lending to the place of the collision was a constant profes sion of hacks, busses, and bicycles, and all kinds of Vehicles, while thousands of peihstrians hurried along the path to render w hut assistance they could or to satisfy their curiosity. Darkness fell ipitckly. and the work of resc liin;- the Injured and the dead bodies was car. led out under the glare of huge bonlires. It was a gruesome sight presented to onlookers as the uiaugl-d and burnt forms of the dead were carried from the wreckage which bound ami killed tlc-lil side by side on the gravel bank near the track, with no other ball than the few old newspa pers gathered from the passengers. The wounded were iib Kly gathered togeth er and carried by train and wagon to the Atlantic City hospital, where six of them died shortly alter their arrival. The old excursion house at the foot of Mississippi avenue, was converted Into a morgue, and thither the dead were taken. At a late hour this evening there were twenty-nine bodies laid out there none of whom are as yet identi fied. Till-: CITY EXCITED. Tliis city Is terribly excited over the accident. The streets in the vicinity of excursion house and the city hospital, us well as the road leading to the scene of the accident, being packed with peo ple anxious to learn the latest. The Hridgetoii and Salem excursionists who escaped injury were brought back to this city and sent home on a special train several hours later in the evening. James W, lloyt. secretary of the de partment of public safety, immediately upon learning of the extent of the catas trophe, telegraphed for the Philadelphia medical emergency corps, lifteen of whom responded and hurried to this city on a special train which left Phila delphia at 10.45 p. m. These surgeons materially aided the volunteer corps of this city, which embraced almost ev ery physician at present within Its con llnes. Many of the Injured were taken to hotels, as the city hospital soon be cume overcrowded. About thirty of the wounded had their Injuries dressed and were able to proceed on their way. It Is expected that fully a dozen of those now lying in the hospital will not sur vive their injuries. Mrs. Kdward Farr. the wife of the Heading engineer, who met diath while performing his duty, und was found with his had on the throttle and the other on the brake, when informed of the accident and her husband's tragic death, was unable to withstand tht? shock and fell to the floor dead. .

REMARKS BY MAJOR M'KINLEY Dclioition of True Moncy.-The F.vils ol' Low Turin" and Inadequate Revenue Are Pointed ' Out"Old Soldiers from iueruey Kvpectcd. Other Distinguished Visitors. Canton. O.. July 30. A delegation numbering about 500 came from Knox ville, Pa., to call on Major McKlnl-:' to day. They arrived by special train i vcr the Pennsylvania line at 4 o'clock. The Grand Army band of Pittsburg was at the hend of the delegation and Major Emory Thompson acted as grand mnr shul. At Major McKinley's house John I'. Kherhart made the speech of intro duction. It was very euluglstie of Ma j r IcKlnley and expressed every con fidence In his election as the next presi dent :d the I'nlted States. When Major McKlmey mounted his chair to respond there was an outbreak of enthusiasm that rivaled anything since the nomina tion. Major M Klnley said: "Mr. Kherhart und my fellow cit izens: I am glad Indeed to meet and greet the Knoxville McKlnley and Ho bart Hepublican club In this city at my home, and I thank you most cordially for traveling so long u distance to ex press your personal good will to me and your devotion to the great principles of the Republican party. "You ure right, Mr. Spokesman, In saying that the Hepublican pally stands now, us it has always stood, for a sound and stable currency und for the maintenance of ull Its numey ut every kind at parity, and ulways equal to the best money of the most civil ized nations of the earth. (Applause.) A dvprecluted currency, us you have so well said, would work disaster to the Interests of the people and to none more than those of the worklngnieii and producers. "Iing years ago Daniel Webster said thu they were the llrst to feel it and the lust to recover from It A disor dered currency," said he, 'is fatal to In dustry, frugality und economy. It fos ters the spirit Vf speculation and ex travagance. It lsi tin most effectual of Inventions to fertilise the rich man's tields with the sweat of the poor mun's brow." THE TUFF M ON E Y. "That which we cull money, my fel low citizens, and with which vulues are measured and settlements made, niust be as true as the bushel which measures the grain of the farmer and as honest as the hours of lubor which the man who toil9 Is required to give. (Loud applause. ) The one must be as lull and complete and as hones t as the other. (Appluuse.) Our currency today is good ull of It as good us gold und It Is he unfaltering determina tion of the Republican party to so keep und maintain It forever. (Cheers). It Is the duty of the jieople of this country to stand unitedly aguinst every effort to degrude our currency or debase our credit. (Cries of 'they will.') They must unite now. as they huve always united In the (last, in every great crisis of our country's history. When the country seemed wildly bent on infla tion preceding the resumption of ecle payments., the solier sense of American people without regard to party united and stemmed that threat ened tide of Irredeemable paer money und repudiation, and placed and kept the nation on the rock of public honor, sound finance and honest currency. "You huve rightly stated, sir. that the Republican inty not only believes in sound money and the highest pub lic faith und honor on the part of the government of the 'lilted States to ull its creditors, but also that It believes In a tariff which, while raising money enough to conduct the gixverninent economically administered, will serve the highest and best Interests of Amer ican labor, American agriculture, Aniericnn commerce nnd American cit izenship. (Great applause.) Some of our political opponents are given to saying that the tariff question Is set tled. If we are nut wrong In Inter preting their meaning, we think they are right (laughter) and thank them for the confession. (Applause.) We believe lliut the tariff question Is set tledsettled in 'the minds and hearts of the American people and settled on the side of protection (tremendous cheering), but. however firmly it may be settled In the public mind, it is not yet settled In public law. Whut is In the hearts and consciences of the peo ple touching uny public question is not effective until it Is written in public statute, and this can only be done through the exercise of the elective franchise In the choice of a congress of the I'nlted States, which makes our public laws. No one, I take it. will re gard the present tariff law as a last and final settlement of the question. Whatever may be our differences about the economic principle upon which tar iff legislation should be made all agrc that the present tariff law Is a failure even as a revenue measure. PEOPLE NOT SATISFIED. "So without discussing the principle of free trade or protection everybody must appreciate that no law Is a set tlement which creates every month a deficiency In the public- treasury. (Loud applause nnd cheers.) The people of this country are not satislied until a public law shall express the public will In a statute which will provide adequate revenues for the needs of the government, full security for Its credit and ample protection to the labor, cap ital and energy of the American peo ple. (Applause.) "I thank you. my fellow citizens, for this friendly call, and I assure you that It will give me pleasure to meet each and every one of you personally. (Tre mendous applause and cheering.) A despatch was received here this morning to the effect lliut over 300 obi soldiers from Guernsey county would be here tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. Among the callers today .-.vere Secre tary M. J.
