ONE LIFE LOST AND FIFTY PLEAS
URE SEEKERS ARE SERIOUS

thrieks of Mangled Passengers Heard
for Great Distance and Many Has

Baltimore, May 27. William Stem-
Ter was almost InsUmly killed and hall
a hundred men and women were in
jured, several of them seriously, in a
collision between two trolley cars re
turning to the city from Westport, a
suburb of this city.
In the neighborhood of the terminus
of the Westport car line are several
summer residences, and the cars,
which were the last to come to the
city, were filled with belated pleasure
seekora. The last car but one had
reached a point where the tracks cross
those of the Western Maryland rail
road's new tide water extension. The
'Conductor had gone ahead, as Is cus
tomary, to make sure that no railroad
train was approaching.
Before he could signal the motor-
man that the crossing 'was plear the
last car appeared at the top of a steep
grade at the bottom of which the West
ern Maryland tracks cross the railroad.
The rear car was running at full
speed. The motorman, Sobastian Hell
dorter, attempted to stop It, but the
brakes failed to hold and the car rush--ed
down the Incline with constantly
increasing Bpeed. There was a crash
tbat aroused the neighborhood and
then shrieks that were heard in the
-city, which is separated from the scene
-of the accident by a wide arm of the
Fatapsco river, known as Spring Gar
dens. The forward car was hurled clear
across the railroad tracks and both It
and the one that followed was badly
wrecked.
The lights were extinguished and
those that remained in the cars fought
each other in their efforts. to escape,
and in doing so trampled those who
"had been thrown to the ground by the
collision. The Arabella of Westport
summoned the citizens of the town and
they set to work to aid the injured and
telephoned to this city for ambulances
and further aid, which was promptly
sent.
When light was obtained Stemler
was found, horribly mangled, on the
Tear platform of the forward car, upon
which he was riding. His arm had
been torn from his body. He was still
alive, but died a few minutes after be
ing taken from the wreck. The motor
man was found in an unconscious con
dition on the front platform of the
car. His escape from instant death
is little short of miraculous. He was
taken to a hospital and is not expected
to live. Private carriages belonging
to residents of the neighborhood were
used to bring the injured to the city,
and as soon as possible after the acci
dent the railway company sent special
cars to assist in this work.

NEW TORPEDO.
Engine of Destruction That Will Prob
ably Revolutionize Sea Fighting.
Sag Harbor, Mny 27. A torpedo
which will, it is believed, revolutionize
naval warfare, a powerful destructive
engine, with aim as true and range as
wide as a modern heavy gun, such is
the invention of Frank W. Leavltt,
consulting engineer of the E. W. Bliss
company of Brooklyn.
The torpedo is deadly in aim at 1500
yeards and good percentage of bits
have been made at over twice that dis
tance. A contributing mechanism, the
gyroscope, perfected by Leavltt, makes
its control simple. The torpedo travels
at a speed of forty miles per hour, sub
merge.!. Two of the new torpedoes have been
purchased by the United States gov
ernment and are now at the Newport
naval station. Exhaustive experimen
tal tests have demonstrated all Leavltt
claims for bis invention.

er the Presbyterian general assembly
should depart from the laws and tra
ditions of the church In America and
adopt a form of worship, even to the
extent of saying the jhurches might
use this Torm or not, as they liked,
was the principal question which came
before the general assembly yesterday.
Dr. Henry Van Dyke, chairman of
the committee, came Wednesday to
do some active campaigning in favor
of it on the floor.
The form of worship whloh tho
committee offered was regarded as
mild In tone and opposition to It made
its objection on the ground that the
Presbyterian church was not a denom
ination for rituals, printed prayers and
fixed forms.
Dr. Van Dyke said he would not con
sent for the assembly to adopt this
form of the service which the com
mittee offered, but he wanted the as
sembly to give its approval. He said
someone had called these prepared
prayers "canned prayers," but for two
years he had been tolling on these
prayers. ' Tears came Into his eyes

Woman Attorney Raises an Important
Question In New Jersey.
Trenton, N. J., May 27. Miss Mary
P hUb rook, one of the few women law

stitutional question as to the powers
of the court of pardons which, If valid,
threatens the release of every life pris
oner in the state prisons She had ap
peared before the court of pardons on
behalf of Ltbby Garrabrant, who has
served thirty-three years in prison, her
sentence of death having been com
muted to one of life Imprisonment.
Miss Phil brook called upon Governor
Stokes and suggested that under the
constitution the court of pardonB is
not vested with the power to com
mute a sentence of death to one of
life Imprisonment, and that by so do
ing it usurps the powers of the trial
court by fixing a new sentence. The
constitution empowers the court of
pardons to remit fines and forfeitures
or grant pardons, In all cases except
Impeachment, but contains no provis
ion as to the commutation of any sen
