WHOLE FAMIUY WIPED OUT.
Father, Mother and Two Children
Killed in Paterson Wreck.
Paterson, N. 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.

STEEL RAILS FOB AFRICA.
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
