Eight Double-Decked Cars Were
Next the Engine !n Rear
End Collision.
MAN IN. CHARGE WAS KILLED.
(Caboose and Half the Train De
molished by Smash-Up on the
Illinois Central at Belle
ville, Illinois.
Eight double-decked cars, loaded -with
Angora goats. were In a freight wreck on
the Belleville and Southern branch of the
Ulroola Central Railroad at Belleville, 111,
last night at 10 o'clock, and, though the
man In oharge was killed, and the re
mainder of train reduced almost to splin
ters, not one of tho highly valued animals
was harmed.
As a result of a slippery track the first
section of tho stock train stalled on a
steep grade just east of Race street, and
the section following crashed Into Its rear
before the flagman sent out with the warn
ing could convey the danger signal.
Engineer Lemons of No. 2 did not see the
signal until too ate and his efforts to
stop the train by applying the air-brakes
proved futile. Seeing that a collision was
inevitable Engineer Lemons and Fireman
Worden leaped and escaped with a few
light bruises.
Wedged in the wreckage the body of the
man who was In charge of the goats was
found. He was in the caboose of the first
section, which was completely demolished,
together with half a dozen freight cars, by
the force of the collision. The cars which
contained the stock were at the head of the
train, next the engine, and escaped the
damage that followed the impact.
Papers found on the dead man's person
bear the name of D. TV. Hughes. The body
was taken to Gunlach's undertaking estab
lishment, where It will be held pending
Identification. The destination of the live
stock Is Paducah, Ky., and U Is believed
that the dtad man's home is In that city.
The damage to the cars and freight Is es
timated at about J33.C00. y

CHANGE OF ATTITUDE A SURPRISE TO Mints!.' uEADERS.
Washington, Nov. 23. AH prospects for-
an understanding between the United Mine
Workers and the coal operators outside the
Anthracite Coal Strike Commission came to
a sudden termination late this afternoon
through the receipt of a dispatch to Mr..
TVayae Macveagh, representing the Penn
sylvania. Coal Company.- and the Hillside
Coal and Iron Company, notifying him that
at a jneetlngTof -the anthracite coal road
men !nNew York to-day It had been de
cided not to grant, an interview to Mr.
Mitchell and his associates, which had been
suggested lor next Filday.
The announcement, coming as it did after
an air-day conference in this city between
."Mr. MacVeagh and Mr. Mitchell and hit
associates, attended part of the time by
Carroll D. "Wright, in an endeavor to ad
just some details of the proposed agree
ment between the operators and the miners,
completely surprised every one here.
From a reliable source it Is learn'd that
the proposition that the operators meet Mr.
Mitchell on Friday was made at the In
stance of Mr. MacVeagh, who was no les
surprised than Mr. Mitchell himself at the
turn affairs took to-day.
From statements made by Mr. Darrow
early In the day the impression had spread
that a complete agreement would be af
fected at to-day's conference, but when the
meeting broke up Mr. Darrow read to the
newspaper men In tne corridor outside his
room in witiaras noiei. a smieineni wnicn

been reached and that no further confer

Mr. Mitchell, when shown the dispatch
from New Tork telling of the action of the
operators, simply smiled and said that he
had not asked for the conference, but that
when he was asked if It would be agreeable
to him to meet the operators he said It
would.

IN EFFQRT TO BRING PEACE.
HErUBLIC SPECIAL. '
Washington, Nov. 23 Negotiations to set
tle out of court the differences between the
anthracite coal operators and the mine
workers, begun because J. Pierpont Morgan
demanded it, were suddenly called off late
this afternoon when on the very point of
consummation.
The conclusion reached to-night by those
familiar with the negotiations Is that Mr.
Morgan, who was very, anxious to settle
the differences outside of the Jur'sd'ctlon
of the President's Commission, has been
overruled by a majority of the operators.
In this connection The Republic learned
to-day from the highest authority the real
reasons for the attempted settlement out
side of the Commission. These were:
Dissatisfaction on the part of J. Pierpont
Morgan with the personnel of the Anthra
cite Coal Strike Commission appointed by
President Roosevelt.
' On this account fear of an unfavorable
award.
A desire on Mr. Morgan's part to settle
the controversy outside ot presidential au

"The conditions are such that no

ators. Mr. Darrow said it was "now up to
the operators," and that, he would return tt
once to Scranton, and on Tuesday next
wou'd appear b'fore the commission ready
to go on with the hearing.
Mr. Lloyd said that Friday's conference
had been suggested In order to adjust some
matters' on which there was still some dis
agreement. "Yet," said Mr. Llovd, "the same men
who only last week wired the commission
their assent to the general provisions of
the tentative agreement, and upon the
strength of which the commission ad
journed for a week. In order to give the par.'
ties time to get together, now go complete

all off. We are satisfied to go before this
commission and continue the hearing."

to the public, and the Coal Trust managers
to an ordeal on the witness stand.
Just as In the first instance, when the
operators Anally )lelded to arbitration by
commission, .so In the attempt at settle
ment which failed to-day, Mr. Morgan was
the moving spirit and real power.
The hearings at Scranton had already
developed that Mr. Mitchell and his friends
were altogether too familiar with the finan

It is a matter of unwritten history that
Mr. Mitchell brought to the first confer
ence with the operators held at the White
House some figures for the President's con

Mr. Mitchell withheld these figures, to be

necessary.
When Mr. Mitchell submitted the propo

exercise of all his power as a leader of

"Mlbs Armour has shown rapid progress."
said Doctor Lorenz to-day, after he had
made a visit to the Armour home.
"It is not time to remove tho cast, which
Is doing Its work beautifully. There Is no
inflammation on account of tho casing. It
Impedes locomotion, but some time we shall
be able to dispense with the cast, and then,
after a course of massage treatment. Miss
Armour will be able to walk a thing she

Lake City. San Francisco, Los Angeles, the
Grand Canon and St. Louis. During his
Ave weeks' tour he operated on more than
Aft crippled children.
Speaking of Western scenery. Doctor
Lorenz said In part:
"The operations of nature are so much be
yond the reasoning of a surgeon that sur
gery appears as nothing in comparison. I
felt like a mere pigmy In the presence of
the accomplishment of the master hand. I
said to myself: "That Is the work of a
creator. Mine Is but the labor of a men
der.' "I am not a rich man, yet I am richer
than I ever was In my life before. The
fee I received from Mr. Armour for treating
his little daughter is what brought me to
America. Otherwise, I could not have come.
I am glad I am here, and the relief I can
give through public clinics Is a pleasure to
me."

Washington. Nov. 23 A general order
"That on and after December 1. 1901. a
woman classified empioe In the postal ser
vice who shall change her name by mar
riage shall not be reappointed" has be'n
Issued from the office of the First Assistant
Postmaster General.
In explanation of tins course, the Post
master General said to-day that he strongly
opposed the continuation in office of wo
men who have married while on the gov-,
ernmental rolls and whose husbands are
now living. Hl position Is that a wife's
place Is at home instead 'of at work else
where, and that, unless the husband can
earn enough to support both, the two should
notvmarry. In his Judgment one Salary to a
family Is sufficient-
It is possible steps may be taken to pre
vent the continuation In the department of
women clerks who were married before this
order was Issued. One Instance has been
discovered where such a clerk earns J1.400
per annum and is married to a male clerk
In the Interior Department who earns ILSOO.
A number of similar instances where the
salaries paid either equal those specified or
are somewhat Ies are known to exist.
In order to make the matter entirely plain
Mr. Payne has directed his bureau chiefs to
prepare lists of all women clerks on their
rolls who are married and whose husbands
are now alive.

Admits That He Would ii&xepjB
Postmastership if It .Were
Offered Him.
WANTS TO SERVE HIS PARTY.
If Appointed, He Says, He Wonl3i
Devote All His Time to tha
Administration of the 1
Office.
Congressman Charles F. Joy admitted last
night that he would be willing to accent
the postmastership of St. Louis If that or
flce should be tendered him when the term
of Frederick W. Banmhoff. the prettent
Postmaster, expires. In February. Mr. Joy
qualified his statement by saying; that ho
did not seek the office.
He said, however, that so many of hta
friends had spoken to him of tha past
mastershlo and urged him to become a
candidate for it that he would watve his
own desires and accept the office. If by so
doing he could serve his party. Mr. Joy
said that when his term In Congress ex
pires he would travel in Bnrope with his
wife, for tho purpose of getting a complete
rest.
This plan, he said, would depend upon
the decision of the President in the matter
of the St. Louis postmaatarship. In tha
Sl'i'i1!,1 .r i3 "PP?---tnient Mr. Joy would re
main in St. Louis, and at once assume the
duties of his office.
Until two months ago there was no
thought of a change In the poslmastership
at St. Louis. Recently charge were made
against Mr. Baumhoff, and his enemies in
tho party have left no stone unturned to
prove his alleged offenses.
Within the last month a ctramxtaatai ot
high Federal officials came to St. Louis to
examine Into the charges against Mr.
Baumhoff. The members of the commis
sion took a suite of rooms at the Plan
ters Hotel, and there examined many' wit
nesses. They also went to the post office
and took testimony from employes. As far
as could be learned from the oommlsaion
ers before they departed from St. Louis,
substantial evidence against Mr. Baumhoff
had been obtained.
Mr. Joy has publicly stated that he would
be willing to bet two to one that ha would
be next Postmaster of St- Louis. Ha has
also stated that he would place a hat on
similar odds that he would never be Post
master of St. Louis.
"I do not want the office," said ha at ths
Southern Hotel last night, "though I would
not reruso It were It offered to me. I posi
tively have not made any effort to secura
the postmastership.
"After the first of the year conditions stay
be changed. I am not seeking any office
within the sift of the Republican party. Mr
desire Is. at the expiration, of my tana in
Congress, to take a.jlong ocean voyatje la
company with my wife."
