The result of this conference was reported to Governor Johnson.

The Petit Journal prints an interview had by its correspondent at St. Malo with one of the survivors of the wreck. A serious crossing accident with some strange results, occurred this morning about 11 o'clock at a crossing: on the Central Railroad of Xew Jersey, a short distance below the Hudson station. Thomas F. Riley, of Miner's Mills, a driver in the employ of the Pure Oil Co., of Parsons, was driving an oil tank wagon and was making/ some deliveries to stores in the vicinity of Plains township. While he was crossing the Central track the wagon was struck by a fast passenger train. The horses had got safely across the track, but the greater part of the wagon was on the track. The train was running at a lively rate ot speed and when the locomotive struck the wagon, the heavy iron tank was lifted clean aft and carried a distance of about 100 feet. The driver's seat is attached to the front end of the tank, and Riley was carried along with the tank. Both driver and tank were hurled through the side-of u hotel conducted by Mr. Barrett. Kiley was seriously Injured as a result of his terrible experience, though he was still alive at last report. He was tirst given medical treatment at the hotel to which he was carried by the locomotive, after which he was removed to his home. The horses were not injured in the least. "When I found that a lot of those friends were threatened with ruin because they had trusted me, I decided to make good their losses, if I went bankrupt myself. But I never said I would pay all the bank losses. Thai would take what I have two or three times over. "When the Hilda struck on the reef." lie says, "I was 011 deck with five oth ers who were brought here. Seeing the "It has been testified that you received campaign contributions from the insurance companies?" Reorganization Demanded. This meeting is to evolve If necessary a demand for reorganization of all the Important life insurance companies, but more particularly the placing of the affairs of those companies on a safer business basis, any action to be taken by this meeting to bo co-operative and each delegate to go back to his state prepared to carry out his part of the programme. "Well, I have received contributions from the insurance companies, particularly the Equitable." signals made by the captain. I was asking myself what was going to happen and thought that my end was near, when suddenly my ears became contused. as though there were, peals of thunder, and 1 felt that the steamer was no longer moving. Around me I could hear yells and- Imprecations and anikl this hubbub a voice, that of the second ofiicer, I think, who was saying: crushed and bleeding mass. He was dead when workmen reached his body. The remains were taken to the man's boarding house and the funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon. "How long have you been receiving them?" "I should say about ten years. I have no record." "I wish I could only pay them all but I can't—I just can't do it." "I cannot say when the canal question finally will be settled. The board of consulting engineers, or advisory board, will report its finding to the Panama canal commission. Probably those engineers will diseuss their work with the commissioners. After that the commission will formulate a report with recommendations which will be sent to the president through the secretary of war. That is the reason I cannot properly say which canal scheme I prefer." "The contributions were for state campaigns?" "Yes." THE WEATHER.

HEART IS IN THE WRONG PLACE New York, Nov. 21. — The Herald says that a committee of the New York Life Insurance company directors for the last two weeks has been conducting an "internal" investigation of the conduct of its business in order to learn the extent of the accuracy of assertions made on the witness stand in the legislative inquiry.
