J., Dec. 2.—One more Victim is certain to be added to the six killed in the wreck on the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western road, physi cians at St. Joseph's Hospital pro nouncing the case of George H. White, of Ithaca, hopeless. Of tho injured at St. Joseph's Hos pital, J, Sterling: Smith, a nephew of General Joe Wheeler, is in the worst condition, next to White. Smith's left leg has been amputated at the hospital. He worried much over the loss of n portfolio containing valuable papers until he was shown the receipt for the parcel by one of the Sisters of Charity. David Roe was Informed of his wife's death by one of the Sisters some hours after tho accident. , He was in a very weak condition and [ continually moaned for his wife. He said he was sure she had been killed by his side, in the second from the last coacli. At first the hospital nurses told him his wife was not hurt. When finally told of her death he began to rave and his shrieks could be heard in the hospital grounds. It is expected that he will recover unless he sustain ed internal injuries. The officials of the road extended every facility to relatives and friends of the injured and the newspaper men in the obtaining of information. Gen eral Superintendent E. G. Russell and Division Superintendent R. Du Puy were in Paterson the greater part of the day Thursday, personally attending to those who came to inquire after the victims of the disaster in St. Joseph's Hospital. "I do not believe in a policy of sup pressing the facts in a case of this kind," said Mr. Russell. "The friends of those injured in a railroad accident are entitled to the fullest information, and so is the public. That is why every opportunity Is afforded the reporters to get the information they seek. That has always been my policy, and always will be, although X hope it will be a very long time before there shall a repetition of Wednesday night's fatal accident." The list of the dead given out on Wednesday night was largely incorrect. The corrected list in as follows: Alexander Craig, Seranton, Pa., busi ness manager of the Seranton Tribune; Mrs. Esther S. Craig, his wife; Miss Esther Craig, 15 years old, tlieir daugh ter; Miss Jessie Craig. 11 years old, an other daughter; Mrs. May 11. Roe, wife of David Roe. of Ithaca: Walter Jacob Brock, 19 years old. a Cornell student of No. 599 West End avenue, New York city. It was not until Thursday that tho identification of the two children kill ed was made positive. Passengers had said they were with Mr. and Mis. lloe, but relatives of the Crnlg family came here from Brooklyn and Identified them as those of the Craigs. The accident wiped out the whole family. They were on their way to spend Thanksgiv ing with relatives in Brooklyn Paterson, N. J., Dee. 4.—General Sup erintendent Russell of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Hail road lias arrived in this city with officials of the road, and visited the scene of the wreck with tho Coroner's jury and Coroner J. S. Yates, who will make the investiga tion, and try, if possible, to lix the blame for the catastrophe of Wednes day night. The jury, previous to going to the railroad, went to the morgue and look ed at the body of Mrs. Itoe, wife of David Itoe, one of the men injured in the wreck. Notwithstanding Mr. Roe's Injuries, he insisted on leaving the hos pital, and went with the body of his wife to Warwick. N. Y.. where the fu neral services will be held and inter ment made. While the railroad officials insist that Engineer Reardon is to blame for the accident, there are those In this city who shift the blame to the company. When the new company took hold there was a man on the Van Winkle street crossing, where the accident occurred but the new management discharged him with others. For months the Hoard of Aldermen have been trying to have the men re placed. At the meeting only two weeks ago inquiry was made from the clerk as to whether any attention had been paid to the demands of the Aldermen for the restoration of this watch/nan. The clerk said the company did not think there was any occasion for a man at this point. Railroad men here say had a watch man been at this curve he would have been out with his danger signals, and it would not be left to a flagman of a train to run back in such an emer gency. JOHN I. BLAIR DEAD. Career of a Remarkable Man and a Multi-Millionaire. New York, Dec. 4. —John I Blair, the famous railroad builder and owner, and multi-millionaire, of Blairstown, N. J., is dead. He was in his ninety-eighth year. The career of John 1. Blair was a re markable one. From a penniless boy, the son of a struggling farmer, he be came one of America's financial kings, achieving success us a merchant, bank er. railroad builder and owner, and coal and iron magnate. He hardly knew himself the extent of his wealth. In a litigation in 18S9 lie was asked under oath what he was worth. "I believe," he said, blushing and stammering, "that I am worth some where between $4,000,000 and $6,000,000." It is likely that several more millions have been added in the ten years since then.

A significant dispatch comes from London. It states that, although an American tender of 40,000 tons of steal rails for Cecil Rhodes' African rail way was not accepted owing to a formal Irregularity, the price was many thousands of dollars lower than that of any of the Knglish bidders. When iu lStio and 18t!7 it was argued by the advocates of a Protective Tariff that the United States with proper legislation could manufacture event ually steel rails for all its own rail roads at a lower price than they could be purchased in Europe, this conten tion was ridiculed by the Free-Traders. It was said by those opposed to the Protective system that a Tariff on steel rails would prevent the rapid construction of railways iu this coun try. and would greatly increase the price of all steel products. But a Tariff law was enacted, and special at tention was given to our iron and steel industries. The production of v'g ' ro n increased in the Tariff i>eriod from !»31,552 uet tons in l.s<i.» to.">. 178,122 net tons iu ISS2. Iu KNti7 we manufactur ed 2,000 tons of steel :'ails. In 1882 we manufactured 1,400,020 tons. No other country in the world showed in that period such rapid growth iti steel in dustries. No other country showed such activity iu railway building. In 1 SIL."» we had .'!4.O<HI miles of railway in this country. In the period following the enactment of the Tariff law, or up to INS 2, the mileage was increased to 130,000. The Tariff on steel rails not only decreased the price, but stimulated railway building. The first Bessemer steel rails made in tlie United States were rolled at the Chicago rolling mills. May 24, 18(55. In IK7I tln> total production of steel rails was 120,414 tons. In 1890 the production was 1,8ti7.5,'J7 long tous. After the panic of 180:5 the production was lowered somewhat, but in 1800 we produced 1,110.058 long tons. In the same year ({rent Britain produced 817.47(5 long tons. < Mil* exports of iron and steel increased from !j!14,185,000 worth iu 1871 to. $48.(570.000 worth in 180(5. Under the LMngley law our ex ports of steel rails increased from 22,- 20.'! tons in IS!M> to 107,001 tons in 1807. and 220.78:5 tons iu ISOB. For the niue months ending March :il the exports were 1!W.07(> tons. Thrt price of Bessemer steel rails iu the United States in 18t57 was SIOO per ton. After the enactment of the Tariff law this was reduced gradually to SO4 in 1877. to $45 in 1802, to $24.33 In 1805, and sales were made as low as sl7. There has been iu the last two years encouraging increase iu our ex ports of iron and steel, particularly in structural iron and steel rails. American contractors secured, over English bidders, the contract for the great bridge across the Nile at Khar toom. In competition with the Eng lish manufacturers they have sent steel rails to Uussia and other Europ ean < outiM-ic*, and even to Euglaud. In rails lor street car lilies tlie Ameri cans compete successfully with all the manufaciuriug nation* of the old world. Such are the facts. Where are the theories that can wipe them out of ex istence? PKOCSXOSTICS THAT KAILEO. During the discission of the Ding ier bill in Congress, one of the most direful prophecies of the Democratic orators,-and the Democratic editors of the country promptly disseminated the assertions,—was that Protection was rubious to foreign trade. The en aitnjcni of the law would kill our ex port <»f manufacturers. What about this prophecy? Are these statesmen and orators ami editors going about pointing with pride |o llif fulfillment of their prognostications? The Ding ley law was enacted, and yet the ycu r ' 1808 was lite banner year in the hltf< j lory of the foreign commerce of tlie country. For every dollar's worth of foreign merchandise bought by the Uultetl States, was sold and exported two dollar's worth of American pro ducts. And this sort of thing did not stop in 18!)S. In March. 1800, the ex ports of manufacturers were $80,025,- 783. as against 528.214.450 for March of 18!ts. it is a good time for Itepubli can« to begin to r.:b these facts in on those who advocated the Wilson Tariff and who are doubtless only waiting an opportunity to begin to {alk again about the beauties of Five-Trade.—Os wego (X.\.i "Times."
