to the Sontlnel from Jelllco, says:
Tho Louisville and Nashville

cut aud the train struck this boulder
with tho serious results above stated.
Tho wreck was cleared away and the

FATAL COLLISION.

derstanding Orders.

William Hamilton, train barber.
C. J. Fieldstock, colored porter.
A. L. Hill, Jersey City, colored por
ter.
John Herbert, son of Engineer Her
bert, who was riding In the cab with
bis father.
The fact that Engineer (Herbert was
under orders to proceed with his train
under control owing to a bad stretch
ot track near Larwlll alone doubtless
prevented serious loss of life, for the
limited was late and otherwise would
have been proceeding at terrific speed.
The wreck was due to a mistake by
Engineer Crowell, of the freight train,
Ui reading the orders.

RUSSIAN MONARCH
DISPOSED TO PEAGE
Make Concessions to Japan
to Prevent Hostilities.
IS AN UNOFFICIAL OPINION.
Thia May Be Done Provided No Unfor.
seen Event* Force the' Hands of the
Governmenti Concerned—Status of
Affairs In the Far East.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 28.—The concen
sus of unofficial opinion among those,
aasoclted with tbe government, but not ;
responsible heretor, is that tbe czar
1* *0 peacefully disposed Mat he wiu
make such concessions U> Japan ap
are necesaary to. pvegt*nt wpr, provld-. »
ed .that no unforseen events force the
hands ot the governments, concerned.
At tbe same time, the exar. It 4a.
pointed ouL agrees with those who be
lieve that preparations for war la the
beat safeguard of peace and that ap
parent willingness to allow matters
to be submitted to the test of arms la-
more likely o lead to a satisfactory
compromise than an exhibition ot over
much peacefulness.
This unofficial opinion, however, be- .
Have? tbe controlling party la Russia
regards Cores aa necessary to th*
consolidation of Russian Interests in
the Far Bast, and therefore. Is deter
mined tc prevent tbe pe .Insula falling
'into Japanese hands ami that any con
cessions Russia now makes- to Japan
will only be with tbe object ot defer
ring until a more seasonable time.
‘i'bere Is not likely to be much dif
ficulty In finding t. they 15 case of
war. A foreign ,< ,a on acceptable
terms Is probabl) impossible, but the
Husvlan banks ami merchants hnva
ample funds on which the government
could draw. The reason why the Brit.
Ish alarmist news fslla to convince
the Russians, Is the perfect under
standing here of the benefits Great
Britain derive* from a continuance ot
the strained situation. T
It was known here a year ago that
Great Britain was planning to occupy
Thibet and extend the railroad to a
point in {he Yangste KJang valley,
which is reachable by gunboats from
the sea. Great Britain’s forward
movement at this time excites both
admiration and ragfi the former for
the clever political move, the latter be-
cause Russia Is so preoccupied in the
Far East that eh* Is unable to pre
vent Great Britain from creating her
own Manchurian In tbe Yangste prov
inces. It is pointed out here that
the preaent situation affords Great
Britain the same opportunity as actual
war between Russia and any third
^"Greatest Crime of the Century.
New York, Dec. 29.—In an address
before the church club of tho diocese
of Long Island Proressor G. T. Ladd,
ot Yale, (tas , declared that "the
greatest curie of this country is the
terrible greed for gold.” The trade
classes, he declared, are so tightly
drawn at the present time that a break
is bound to come soon. "The worst .
existing troubles in the United State*
and England,” asserted the profeesor,
”att sett-indulgence and high living,
which will eventually bring ruin to
any powerful nation. 1 * , ? v.4
