Tor the Horrible ltailroad Accident on
Atlantic City's Meadows.
.Atlantic Uitt, Aug. s. inere was no j
formal session yestenlay of the coroner's j
jury, which is investigating the meadow
disaster. The cyroner met the jurors at
Odd Fellows' hall at 10 o'clock, and went
wilh them t o the Sanitarium "to get a de- ;
position from John S. Kelly, conductor of j
the wrecked excursion train. His testi- j
mony brought forward no new facts.
Other testimony showed that Edward j
Farr, the dead Reading engineer was up j
to the physical standard in every respect. (
At(i:30 last evening the jury rendered ;
three separate "verdicts, after five hours' j
deliberation. The first is signed by the J
entire six, and is Jis follows: "We, the '
jury empaneled to investigate the cause of j
death of P. H. Goldsmith and others, fimij
that the said persons whose bodies we-1
tave viewed came to their deaths by a !
collision of express tram -No. on tne
Atlantic City railroad an-dexcursion train
No. 700 on the West Jersey and Seashore
railroad, at a point known as the meadow
tower, near Atlantic City,- on the 30th day
of July,'lS96, at or about 0:43." Signed by
Charles Evans, Lewis Evans, Thomas J.
Dickerson, J. B. Champion, Levi U A1-,
bertson and Charles E. Adams.
The second -verdict follows : "We, the
undersigned jurors, also find 'that En
gineer Edward Farr, of the Atlantic City
railroad, failed to have his engine under
proper control on approaching said cross-
7 ',i "j m ; - XT' IT..
ing, ana tnax lowenuau vjeurgu a: . nau
ser, in giving the excursion train of the
West Jersey the right of way over a fast
express, used bad judgment. We' are also
of the opinion that Engineer John 'Grei
ner, of said excursion train, erred in not
exercising greater care in crossing ahead
of said fast .express." Signed by Fore
man Charles Evans, Thomas J. Dickerson
and Charles E. Adams.
The third verdict reads : "The under
signed jurors ars of the opinion that the
cause of the Collision was the failure of Ed
ward Farr, engineer of train 23, to give heed
in time to the semaphore si gnals set against
him, and thus failed to have his train un
der proper control on approaching the sig
nal "and crossing; under the rules. The
undersigned jurors further declare that
the towerman, George F. Hauser, may
have used poor judgment in his estimate
of the distance away of the Atlantic City
railroad train when he gave the white
boards to the West Jersey excursion train. "
Signed by Lewis Evans, Levi C. Albert
son and J. B. Champion.
Hauser, not being held criminally re
sponsible, was discharged by the coroner.

FATAL TROLLEY ACCIDENT.
Three People Killed and Fifteen Injured,
Two Perhaps Fatally.'
Columbia, Pa., Aug. 10. Three persons
were instantly killed and fifteen' injured,
some it is believed fatally, by the derailing
of a trolley car on the Columbia and Done
gal Electric road last night, just outside
the. borough limits of Columbia. The
dead are: Adam Foehlinger, motorman
of the car; Henry Smith and an unknown
person. At least one, and probably two
of the injured may die.
The place where the accident occurred is
at the base of a steep incline, alongside of
which runs a high embankment. The car
was loaded with passengers, and as it
reached the incline it began to slip, owing
to wet tracks. The motorman applied
the brakes, and at that moment the gear
wheel broke, rendering the brakes useless.
The car dashed along at a terrific rate of
speed t while within the terror stricken pas
sengers sat and stood' stupefied with fear.
The car upon reaching the bottom took a
sharp turn and was thrown up against the
embankment, throwing oii nearly all the
passengers, with the above result.
Washington, Aug. 10. The report of
fatalities resulting from the heat in yari
ou?s sections of the country indicate that
tne hot, spell . will be as disastrous as na

of the day exceeds 125- in the principal
cities. Eastern cities appear &) have suf
fered most severely, although the detih
hst; m tne' west continues to be high. The
reports cover only the principal cities, and

swell. the loss very materially.

to be Held In Indianapolis Sept, Z.
IxDiANAroLis, Aug. 8.i-The name of the
new party is the National Democratic
party. Its organizers call those support

Populist Democratic party. Thejiational
convention of the National Democratic
party will be held at Indianapolis the first
Wednesday in September. There wasuna
nimityjin the conferenceon the selection of
the name of the Nationa Democratic
party and also in determining .to distin
guish the two parties by referring to those .
supporting the Chicago platform as the
Populist Democratic party. '
There was a conference before the pro
visional national committee met, at which
it was decided to call .a convention and
nominate another national ticket. Sonde'
of the eastern and southern members op
posed a third ticket at first, but when
they were told that in the middle states
party fealty was so regarded that many -Democrats
would not vote unless there
was a third ticket, then all objections
from the east and south were withdrawn .
and the decision to hold a. convention was
(unanimous. It was argued that as the,
campaign proceeded, and the Republicans
began to say harsh things of Democrats,
inany of the latter would vote for Bryan
and, Sewall, distasteful as the Chicago
platform was to them.
As the eastern and southern gold stand

defeat the Chicago ticket and platform,

Condemned Murderer. Dies in Prison.
Wilkesbarre. Pa., Aug. 10. George
W. Windisch, the Pittston wife "murderer,
. died hvthfe county jail at 5:20 o'clock yes
terday morni ng from typhoid fever. Every
thing possible was done to prolong his
life, but the condemned man prayed daily
that death would come. Windisch quar
reled with his wife and murdered her with
a chisel. The murder was a .particularly
cold blooded one: His trial .was a short
one, and he was promptly convicted. He
was sentenced to be hanged in June, but
upon the advice of the jail physician he
was granted a respite of thirty days. At
the expiration of that t'me he showed
signs of improvement, but was still far
from well. The governor granted a second
respite, and had named the first Friday in
September as the day of execution.
