Tbirteeo persons killed aod over 80 others in? jured is tbo appalling record of a rear sod eollisoo between ao eioorsioo traio aod a milk train oo the Bethlehem brsneh of tbo Philadelphia aod Read iog railway this morning at Ratfield, Po , 27 miles oortb of Ibis eity. Tbo wroeksd traio consisted nf 10 doy eoaches, aod was the first section of a largo excursion made op of people from Bethlehem, Alleotowo and sur? rounding towos to Atlaotio City. It loft the union depot to Bethlehem at 6:05 a. m . exaetly 35 minutes bshind the milk traio. The latter train eon sisied of two milk ears and two pas seoger ooaebeo and bad stopped at every station oo the road from Bethle? hem oo roots to Philadelphia. At 6:54 the milk traio drew op at the milk platform at Hatfield and io less than two minutes the special exoorsioo traio, running at the rate of 35 miles ao boor, crashed ioto the rear of the iilk traio. Tbo locomotive ploogbed tbroogb tbo two passenger ooaebes aod crushed them as if they were eggshells. Tbo milk ear immediately io front was also badly wreaked Poor persons, oo tbo paassoger ear of the milk traio, were almost instantly killsd. Fortu? nate y there were very few persons oo this trsio. Tbo excursion traio was a piotore of indescribable horror The loeomotive was a mass of bent aod brokeo iroo aod firmly bold tbo bodies of its engiooer sod firemen beneath its great weight Bebiod tbo eogioe six of the tso ears were also a mass of wreekage The first oar was brokeo io twaio aod the other five ears wore tbrowo oo their sides eompletely demolished. Nioe persoos were killed io the first two ears and tbo others io those ooaebes were badly maimed.

One version is that tho eogieesr of the exoorsioo train had beeo waroed at Sou. dertoo, the statioo above Hatfield, that a milk traio was a few minutes ahead of him. Aoother story is that tbs traio dispatehsr'a offise io Philadelphia was at fault The traiomsn refosed to talk of ths ooeideot.

Taku, Aug 30, via Shanghai, Sept 3.?The Cbiueso in the Pei Ho valley are paying dearly for the folly of their government The retribution they are suffering exceeds the ordi? nary penalties of war. Along the river and the roads traveled by the foreign troops betweeu Tien Tsin and Pekin an orgie of looting and de structioo continues,with much useless ?laughter of unoffending inhabitants While the international forces were advanoicg the commanders, notably the Japanese, American aod British, eoforoed a certain degree of protec tioo for property not needed for mil itary purposes At that time most of the popula? tion, except the fighting men had fled But now the people are returning to their homes only to find no rice, NO SHELTER, NO OCCUPATION In the overcrowded, famine threat? ened districts away from the river their lives and email possessions are at the mercy of bands of soldiers traveliog about without officers The conditions prevsilingj eave lit ground for the favorable comparison of oivilized warfare with Chinese methods Robbery, ravishing eud murder nre so common that ??uyt responsible person one meets contri bates stories from personal observa? tion The walled oity of Tang Chow wss the only towo in the pathway of the internstionsl forces whose people remained nnd attempted to continue business During its occupation the Japanese patrolled the piece efficient? ly, protected the people nod prevent ed looting beyond the amount ioevi table with any army Gen Cbaffee stationed n gasrd around the historio temple outside the wall, forbidding bio troops to enter The com menders encouraged the 'inhabitants to resume busiuess, promising pro tection to all pesceful persons. When the armies advanced, bow over, the guards were removed, only n small British aod American gar? rison being left outside the wall. A correspondent of The Associated Press, returning from Pekin, found Tung Chow stripped like a cornfield after n plsgue of grasshoppers Everything portable, of the email est value, hsd been taken, goods from shops, clothing, food and furniture Parties of soldiers of every national? ity were roaming about uorestrioted end, presumsbly, were doing muob wanton destruction, in the epirit of deviltry, smashing furniture nnd glassware, and trampling books and pictures under foot Most of the Chinese were submitting to sll this in sbject fesr. The few who dared to proteot were kicked about. Bodies lay in tbe streets, apparent ly those of non-combatants Tbe inhabitants without food or clothing, were huddling in back yards in a pitiable condition. The villages to tbe southward are even worse despoiled. One week after Pekin was taken the traveler to Tien Tsin was seldom out of eight of burning bouses Fires ere stnrted dsily, although the shelter will be much needed if tbe troops nre to hold the country during the winter. Tbe soldiers ate having "fine sport" io using natives who oreep book to their homes or sttempt to work in I be fields as targets The sight of n former lying where he was shot with n basket of grain or armful of other prodooe nearby is quite common. The Russians are tbe chief actors in this style of conquest; bnt tbe French nre remarkably coosplou ouv, considering their smell numbere Tbe Indien troops sod tbe Jepeneee ere participants only when beyond tbe ken of their offices From the beginning tbe conduct of the Russians has been n blot on tbe campaign Tbe recital of notorious facto speeke more forcibly then could any adjectives. When entering Pekin correspondents of tbe Associated Prose saw Cossacks smash down Chinese women with the butts of their guoe end pound their heads until they were deed The Cossecke would pick up children berely old enough to walk, hold them by the ankles and beat out their brains on the psvement. Russian officers look ed on without protest While Gen Chaffee was watering bis hoise at a stream under the wall of Tung Chow, tbe Russians found a feeble old man hidden in the mud, except his nose, and dragged him out by the queue, shouting gleefully They impaled him on their bayouets Gen Chaffee remarked : "That is not war It is brutal murder " American officers at Taku, days after the fighting was finished, saw Russians bayonet children and throw old men into the river, clubbing them to death when they tried to swim The Russians killed women who knelt before them and begged for merry Everybody was disposed to bo friendly toward the Russians in the early days of the fighting at Tien Tain because of -their bravery ; but ouoh inoidents aa the foregoing have been so prominent a feature of tbe campaign that oo one who is sup posed to report important facte can ignore tbem They ere eo numerous no lo oompel the oosolusien ibel they are not isolated episodes, but the ordinary practices of Russian meth ods of warfare. Tho Russians on the walis of Pekin would apparently shoot every China man within range outside A Corres pondent of the Associated Press found many newly killed In the fields outside of the Russian section of the wail Some of the bodies were those of women, and none seemed to be the bodies of combatants. Coolies were killed while trotting along the roads with their loads, and farmers when trying to gather in their grain HOPE ENTERTAINED IN WASHINGTON. Washington, Sept 3 ?A dispatch from Minister Conger was received by the state department today It waa chiefly interesting from being the first word from him since bis die patch of about the 27th ult referring to tbe proposed parade of troopa through tbo imperial palace in Pekin. Like that dispatch, tbia is dateless as to Pekin. Tbe contents were not made public, but it was stated that it contained nothing materialy chang? ing the eitustion The other dispstches received to dsy from Chins referred to the state of health of tbe troops, which geoer ally is satisfactory It canot be learn* ed that there has been any -marked advancement of tbe negotiations be? tween the powers touching tbe with drnwsl of tbe international forces from Pekin Tbe plain indication is tbst the powere are acting upon the hint conveyed in the last note of tbe state department nnd ere bringing all their influences to bear upon Russia to induce her to cbaoge her mind ns to withdrawing her troops For some reason the authorities here appear to feel n growing confidence that this effect will be successful It is noted as s fsct of greet significance that tbe proposition is being ad vanced to have Prince Cbing return to Pekin as tbe acting head of the Chinese government. Dr Hill, the first assistant secretary of state, returned to Washington to? day and assumed the duties of acting head of tbe etate department, reliev? ing Mr Adee, who performed these duties during tbe perplexing diploma? tic exchanges of recent date Soon after arriving he went to tbe White House and spent a half hour with the president, going over the present status of tbe Chinese nego tiations CHUNG LI ARRESTED. Pekin, Sept 2 ?Cbnog Li. a mem ber of the tenog Ii yameo and prefeoto of the polioe, visited tbe Austrian representative yesterday, who arrested him beoause of tbe Coioete official's oomplioity in the attacks oo tbe legs tioos.

After his srrest he was turned over to the Japanese. SEEKING TO NEGOTIATE Tieo Tsio, Tuesday, Aug 28 ? Three members of tbe tsoog Ii yamen. Na Tung, Chiog Hsio and Chung Li it is aeoouooed here, are seeking to negotiate with the allies through Sir Robert Hart, the direetor of tbe Obiodse imperial maritime customs. There are four traios daily from Toog Kn to Yang Tsuo. ?^aao> ????>? oaw There Were no Important Newa or Developments Washington, Sept 2 ?So far as can be ascertained there were no im portent developmente in tbe Chinese situation here today The officials maintain unusual reticence They say they have no information to make public regarding the replies to the American Russian propositions re gsrding the withdrawal of the mili tary forces of tho powers from Pekio Mr Adee, the acting secretary of state baa decided for the present not to make aoy statement as to the names of the powere which have answered or to indicste whether the replies ere of en affirmative or negative character on the ground tbst publics tion of tbe attitude of the powers might embarrass the negotiations at this time. It is, therefore, impossi ble tu learn definitely to what extent answers have been received The opinion prevails, however, that none of a conclusive character have as yet come to hand such communications as have been receiv ed being merely of a preliminary character In diplomatic circles the opinion prevails that none of the great powers have as yet reached a final determination as to the course they will pursue. An interesting bit of information regarding tbe Empress Dtiwager came to Washington in a roundabout way today It was to the effect that the empress was going from Tysn Ku in the province of Shsusi to which place she bad ti? d after her escape from Pekin, Hainan Fu, indicating that she is moving still fun away from tbe Chinese es? .tal The re port says nothing of ihn emperor's movements "Oupid'i Vicujij, o ?

Sppt 3 ?Mr Mc Kinley'a attempt to play politics with the Chinese embroilment by making it appear that this government was acting in concert with Russia, gave him a good scare. His idea was that as Russia was regarded by the Amer ican public as England's traditiooal enemy, it would serve to lessen the public belief in the existence of a secret understanding between this government and England, if this government appeared to be acting in partnership with Rossis, in China Tbe reception of tbe reply of this government to Russia's proposal for the withdrawal of troops from China, by tbe press of this country and of Europe, frightened him so badly that be hastened to have it given out offi cialiy in Washington, that this gov? ernment had not agreed to act with Russia, but bad informed Russia tbat tbe U. S troope would be withdrawn from Pekin, if tbe Roeeeian troops were Tbo public was aleo further informed tbat our troope ebould be withdrawn at tbe same time tboee of Russia were, it would not ts because we would act with Russia, but be? cause we would act independently, all of which ie ae clear ae mud Secretary Hay's continued absence from Washington in tbe face of bie having telegraphed to a friend within 48 hours that he was enjoying bit usual good health, caused tbe circu? lation of a etory tbat be and Mr McKinley were not of the eame mind on the Chinese policy of tbie govern ment, and tbat be would probably leave the cabinet. Assistant Secre? tary Adee, who has been signing tbe official communications sent out by this government, as acting secretary of state?since Mr Hsy went away Secretary Root has been the resl secretary of state?hastened to in? form tbe public, through anewspsper interview, that be could vouch for Mr Day and Mr McKinley being in perfect accord in everything that hsd been done relating to China. Now, if Mr McKinley would vouch for Mr Adee that etory might be more generally accepted A New York member of tbe house wbo was at democratic congressional headquarters, ssid of the csmpaigo in his State : "Mr Croker has effect? ually answered all the stories alleg? ing that be was not loyally for the election of Bryan and Stevenson, by wagering $20,000 tbat Col Bryan would be elected president Even if I bad entertained doubts of Croker's loyalty, which I did not, that wager would have removed them all. lie got odds, and if Col Bryan is elected be will win $50,000 The man wbo will not do hie utmost when that much money is personally at stake is bard to find. You may be sure tbat Croker will do bis utmost to give the electoral votee of New York to tbe democrate " Gen Otis, wbo was in Washington Ssturdsy, tnd wbo will succeed Gen Joe Wheeler, wbo will be retired next Moodty under the tge limit Itw, tt commander of tbe military department of tbe Itket, teems to btve t very short memory He de cltred beforo leaving Manila, tnd tgtin tfter bis trrivtl in tbe United Stttet, in tbe most positive terms tbst tbo wsr in tbe Philippinet was over ; now be etys it will be over by the close of tbe present rainy sea ton Perbtps thtt it why Mr Mc? Kinley bts failed to keep bit promise to eeod tbe volunteers home. There has been a wholesale lot of official lying about tbe war iu the Philip pines and it is stilt being indulged in. It wae Boss Hanna wbo saved Mr McKinley from making a spectacle of himself by going oo the stump io West Virginia. Mr McKinley prom ieed "teve Elkins that be would do so without consulting Hanna. but as soon as Hanna beatd about it, be denied that any such promise bad been made and encoeeded in com polling Mr McKinley to allow tbat denial to etick, eveu if it did put Elkins in tbe attitude of having made an announcement that wae not true. Hanna bad sense enough to see tbat it would cost McKinley thousands of votes if he eo far forgot the dignity belonging to the president of the United States as io go on the stump. When it comes to banner raising, the Washington democrats are a long ways ahead of the republicans Four large and handsome Bryan and Stev? enson banners swing over Washing ton streets, but no McKinley and Roosevelt banner has yet made its appearance The star route speculators must have been refusing to contribute to Hanua'e campaign fund, as it is an nounced that at the coming letting of contracts for more than six thou sand star routes, no bid will be accepted by the postoffice depart? ment miles* the bidder lives near enough to the route to personally superintend the work The specula tors have heretofore almost tnonopo lized those contracts, subletting them to local men who did the work It remains to be tsoerttined whether tbe propoted ohtoge is intended for o bluff or lor o reol reform. Joke Causes a Young Moth? er's Death. Mrs ^Lillian Eby, No 802 Sixty ninth street died, the victim of a practical joke The death was erroneously report? ed among those due to heat It de? velops, however, that a large dolir recumbent with its mechanical eyes closed, and its waxen cheeks, the counterfeit of death was handed to Mrs Eby in place of her own baby. When she canght sight of its closed eyes she fell in a swoom, and the next dsy died as a direct result of fright. In this way three families have been thrown into mourning as the outcome of what had oeen intended for a little fun at the young wife's expense Mrs Eby was but twenty-two years old, and it was ber first cbiid She and her husband John A Eby have been living for three years in Engle wood. Three months ago a daughter was born to them, Mr Eby's sister Mrs Ralph Perry, livee at Thirty-ninth street and Indi? en avenue, and Mrs Eby took the baby there one sfternoon esrly last week for a visit. She wae accompanied by her moth? er in law and her sister, Mrs Martin Eby. Mrs Perry lives on the second floor below. The women were together, hover iog over the bsby in the psrlor. Suddenly, in s spirit of fun and being anxious to show the bsby to her relstive below, Mrs Perry took the child from the lap of ite mother and went down stairs. There she found n little girl plsying with n lsrge doll "I guess we'll trsde your doll for a real little bsby/' said the childs mot! er, n caller. Then it wa3 suggested, "just to see whst Mrs Eby would say," that they take the doll back to her in place of the baby. A handkerchief was thrown over ite face and Mrs Perry carried it up stairs Mrs Eby bsd grown impatient at being separeted from her baby so long and ran across the room to take it in her arms The first view she caught as she drew back the cloth was the dolls closed es yShee sank to the floor with a moan. "My, how you frightened me she said, realyzing it was a joke. But she was seized with convulsions which lssted half an hour. Dr Thomas J Jackson was called and Mrs Ebby was sent to her home in an ambulance. During the night Mrs Eby had fre? quent convulsions and her husband and mother sat up with her constantly. They celled in snotber physician, Dr Norton, but be was not alarmed sbout the case The next day at noon Mrs Eby was seized with a more violent convulsion and died. In the varione attacks she bad complaioed that ehe wae being pursued through the vsr ious places with which she wee fsmilsr by s doll with closed eyes Mrs Perry wss distracted when she found the result of the joke bsd been so serious She bss continued to upbrsid herself until st one time it was fesred she might lose her res son. The case bss attracted stten tion from the physicians, who say it is sn extremely singular one Dr Norton pronounced death due tc neuralgia of the heart Mrs Eby bsd bsd fsintiog spells st times be? fore this, sod it is believed the rewaa some trouble with her heart.?
