Mahanoy City, Doc. 3. A rear end colli
sion involving a train of ompty gondolas

personal character.
Tho train was running at a pretty fast'
speed towards this placo when a coupling:
broke This allowed a section of six cars
and an oil tank, tho latter at the cxtrcmo
lear, to trail behind. Upon discovering what
had happened the engincerdccidcd to slacken
tho speed of tho first section and try
to bring tho cars together again, hut thc
rear cars caught up sooner than ho expected
aud the wreck followed. Six of the gondolas
were wrecked, four of them being tcduccd to
kindling wood. Tho oil tank was thrown
from the track, hut escaped damage. The.
train was drawn by ongine No. 080 and In
chargo of Conductor Cashman, of Tatnan.ua.
Tho wreckage blocked both tracks and
shut off trallic. Tho train bearing relatives
aud friends going to Tamaqua to attend tho
funeral of Mrs. J. W. Parker, of Trenton,
N. J., was at the local station, waiting for
tho train of gondolas to arrivo and pass. It
was side tracked until about 2:30 o'clock,
whou arrangements were made to get it
through.
Tho wreck crow stationed at Mahanoy
Piano was upon the scone within half an
hour after the wreck occurred and did rapid
work to got tho main lino opened. It is ex
pected that both tracks will bo cleared of
debris by four o'clock.

In tho Trouty Spaniards Spurrlue
Kor Illutu of CotnpromlHuM.
Paris, Deo. 3. Yesterduy's session of
the peace commission was a repetition
virtually of several earlier meetings.
When, after two hours' of discussion
taking a wide range, the Spaniards
were pressed for definite statements
they pleadpd that they had not re
ceived Instructions from Madrid. There
upon the Americans declared. In dip
lomatic phraseology, that It was use
less to waste time In debate with men
who were not empowered to make
bargains. Although adjournment was
taken to today. It Is probable that there
will bo a further postponement till
Monday.
Tho Spanish version of yesterday's
session Is that tl'iey asked to have the
treaty concluded first, und then the
minors matters discussed. According
to reports from American sources, the
Spaniards endeavored to draw hints
as to how far the Americans were will
ing to compromise the demands dis
cussed, without disclosing what con
cessions Spain was willing to make.
As the negotiations proceed the pros
pects of consuming muoh time increase.
Several very Important propositions,
presenting- many phases, Invite discus
sion, and must afterward be embodied
In the amendments. This task of em
bodying may be long drawn out, every
word and comma requiring considera
tion.
On the questions yet unsettled, which
do not concern territorial Interests,
both commlslons display laudable anx
iety to promote the welfare of the In
habitants Involved.
An American commissioner remark
ed to the correspondent: "We realize
that these peoples are to become our
subjects, and we desire to secure for
them all their rights and privileges.
We keep In mind the Interests of Span
ish citizens In the territories changing
hands, as well as of others. Our Span
ish friends exhibit a willingness to co
operate In this work of guaranteeing
the rights of the peoples they are los
ing, a willingness that must command
our respect, for we realize that they
might make the task much more dif
ficult If they were disposed to display a
resentful spirit."
Among the problems of the foregoing
nature to which the commissioners are
devoting much attention is that of the
court. Both commissions desires as
far as possible to arrange that con
tracts entered upon and lay suits
brought under the Spanish regime may
be transferred to the Jurisdiction of
the American courts, so that the liti
gants may lose no right through the
change of government.
The question of continuing contracts
for public works now under way Is
nlso being considered, and it Is possible
that the treaty will guarantee the ful
fillment of existing mall contracts.
The peace commissions have agreed
not to mention the Cuban or Philippine
debt In the treaty, because It might
lead to misapprehension. The Ameri
can commtslnnrrs have Indicated to
the i-'.puntaiils that theti- d. l.ts cannot
possibly. In law, right nr i-iiulty, be
Baddled upon fuh.i m- the Philippines,
since the money employed was not for
the benefit of th colonies, hut to com
pel them by forco of aims to suffer the
oppressive Spanish rule from whlc
they were seeking to free themselves.
Spain Gets Trmli Cnncnlonv.
London, Dec. 3. The Madrid corre
spondent of The Dally News says: "It
Is officially announced that tha Spanish
peace commissioners have secured a
cnnces'-iiin granting Spain commercial
advantages In the Philippines for ten

THE MAN
WITH THE HAMHER !
The man who wields the hammer
with the mobt flourish and makes the
most noise isn't always the one who
drives the most nails. His nails
may be bent, his hammer poor, and
when the day's work is done he'll be
behind. We drive bargains, not
nails, but our stock is up in quality.
The blows of our hammer are
accurate and regular. We are mak
ing a winning record every day in
our GROCERY line.
