July 2G.—A serious Avrecls eccurreil at Trebein station, three miles from here, when train No. 3, the Pennsylvania limited from St. Louis to New York, was met by a wild coal ear at the foot of a heavy grade. The number of dead and injured was not easily ascertained, because the wreck age took lire and all but the two Pull man cars in the rear was burned. The train was behind and was running at the rate of 70 miles an hour to make up lost time. Besides the postal and express ears It consisted of a day coach and several sleepers. In some manner a car loaded witl coal had become unloosened from its couplings- and started down a three mile grade, gaining velocity as it went. At the bottom of the grade it crashed into the engine of tithe passenger train. Of the coal ear there is scarcely to be found a trace, so completely was i: splintered. The passenger engine i* a mass of ruins, while the postal and express cars were piled on top ol' it in a promiscuous heap. Almost simultaneously with the first crash the gas tanks under the cars exploded and set fire to the ruins. The engineer. William Clark of Co lumbus, O., was buried beneath his en gine aiid his body was burned to ashes. His fireman. William Dwyer of Cincin nati, was horribly mangled, but waf thrown clear from the engine. Of tht four postal clerks on the train twc were killed, M. M. Peters of Columbu: and Charles McGowan of Greenfield. Ind. George A. Gifford of Indianapolis and William G. Forsythe, also of Indianap olis, were injured, Gifford but slightly. Forsythe seriously. The surgeon does not regard his injuries us fatal. Running at Terrific Speed. The dawn of morning brought to full view the horror of the wreck. The train had been running at a terrific speed and the wild car had almost at talned its greatest momentum when the accident occurred at the end of a Bteep grade. When the crash came the train, with the exception of two rear sleeper-,, left the track and piled up into a heap. A moment of silence followed and then could be heard the cries for help. Those of the passen gers who extricated themselves from their perilous positions rendered all assistance possible and rescued many from the debris, but a gas tank, ex ploding beneath one of the cars, set the wreckage on fire and the intense heat from the flames soon drove the rescuers back so that those who were pinned beneath the train were con sumed by the flames. It was a most pitiable sight, cries and moans com ing from those who could not be res-' cued and those who were slowly being burned to death and it was some time before any of the bodies were reached. Engineer Willianj, J. Clark of Colum bus and Fireman^Dwyer of Cincinnati were the first found, both being muti lated and horribly burned. Postal Clerks McGowan of Green field and M. M. Peters of Columbus were also killed and their bodies were gotten out and brought to this city during the morning. Conductor Hughes, who was on the wrecked train, reported that there were at least three or four passen gers who could not be gotten out and whose bodies are still in the ruins It will likely take some time before the full list of dead can be ascertained as all the baggage in the train, with the exception of two pieces, was con sumed in the flames. STREETS FILLED WITH WATER. Severe Rain Storm Does Immense Damage at Canaseraga, N. Y. Hornellsville, N. Y., July 26—A hail •nd rain storm visited Canaseraga, thirteen miles west of here, doing thousands of dollars' damage, especial ly to growing crops. For a time the water was three feet deep on the Erie railroad tracks. Water ran down the streets of the Tillage in rivers, cutting great holes in the streets. All the cellars of the town were filled and merchants could not re cover their goods in time to save them. WILL SWELL STATE FUNDS. Rich Discovery of Iron Ore on Minne sota Public Lands. St. Paul, July 25.—Information to the effect that an iron mine with 10,- 000,000 tons of ore in sight has been discovered on state school lands near Hibbing has been received by State Auditor Dunn. This mine is located on section 12, township 27, range 21, St. Louis coun ty, and is just west of the town of Hib bing. The land was recently recovered for the state public institutions fund by Auditor Dunn. The mineral leases under which min ing operations will be carried on are held by John B. Morrow of Duluth and several other men of that vicinity who are associated with him. Experts who have explored the prop erty estimate the mines to contain 10,000,000 tons of ore, which is of good grade. Even at that estimate the royalty to the state of 25 cents per ton would in crease the fund for state educational institutions by J2,650,000, but Mr. Mor row, who called at the state auditor's office, says he believes the estimate to be too low.

Cowcs, Isle of Wight, July 25.—An official bulletin issued on board the royal yacht Victoria and Albert says: "The king continues to make unin terrupted progress. Although his maj esty is not yet able to leave his couch his strength is returning satisfac torily." London, July 25.—The British Med ical Journal says: "We are glad to be able to say that the king is doing well in all respects. The wound is granulating well, but the king still keeps a strictly recum bent position and has not yet left his couch. He is moved from the bed to the couch daily ami wheeled on deck when the weather permits. There is no truth in the statement that he has walked nor is there any foundation for the assertion that he is worse. His majesty's health is excellent." BOERS TO COME HERE. Commandant de Villiers Says That Many Will Leave the Veldt. La Porte, Ind., July 25.—Comman dant J. de Villiers. confidential advisor to President Steyn of the Orange Free State, is here spending a week at Pine Lake, a summer resort nsar here. Do Villiers was recently released from imprisonment on DarreH's island. He stated in an interview that hundreds of Boer families would locate in this country. These Boers are numbered among the irreconcilables. Commandant de Villiers will return to South Africa within a few weeks. He says many of the Boer leaders will visit this country to appeal for relief for their countrymen. CURE FOR LEPROSY. Government Will Try Preparation of a Brooklyn Doctor. Washington. July 25.—The secretary of the interior has forwarded to the board of health of Honolulu samples of an alleged cure for leprosy sub mitted by a rooklyn physician in be half of a fellow practitioner abroad. The board has agreed to use the sam ples in their experimental research. The treasury department has author ized the admission of the samples at Honolulu free of duty. The board of health of Sari Francisco and New Or leans also will be asked to test the alleged cure. UNCLE SAM HAS A COPY. Note Sent Out by Russia in Regard to rusts. Washington, July 26.—Through the United States charge of the embassy at St. Petersburg, Mr. Riddle, the state department has just received a copy of the Russian note touching upon trusts, which has excited so much comment in Europe. This note, which takes the form of a circular, is identi cal and was handed in St. Petersburg to the representative of all of the pow ers that participated in the Brussels sugar conference and, in addition, to Mr. Riddle for transmission to his gov ernment at Washington. Just why this was done in view of the fact that the United States government was not represented at the Brussels confer ence can only be conjectured and it is supposed that it was supplied as a matter of information and as a cour tesy. Certain it is that in the present view the United States executive can not participate in such a conference as it described because of constitu tional limitations that cannot be es caped, even if there were no other ob jections. The state department cannot do more at this stage than it has done, namely, the return of polite acknowl edgment through Mr. Riddle, of the note and watch developments in Europe. MR. BRYAN IN MAINE. Nebraskan Makes Addresses at Rock land and Bath. Rockland, Me., July 26.—A night in a railway train, breakfast at the hotel, greetings by representative Democrats of this section, an open air speech de livered to 5,000 people composed the programme of William J. Bryan from the time of leaving Boston to the hour of his departure from this city before noon. With Mr. Bryan was Senator Car mack of Tennessee and .Charles S. Homling of Massachusetts. After breakfast and a brief reception the party was driven to the courthouse where a stand had been built out from the steps. From this platform Mr. Bryan and Senator Carmack addressed an audience of at least 5,000. Bath, Me., July 26.—William J. Bry an and party reached here at noon. No arrangements had been made for a reception here, but a crowd of a thou sand assembled at the station. Mr. Bryan addressed them from the car platform and in his speech feelingly alluded to the late Arthur Sewall, who was the vice presidential candidate in 1896 on the ticket with Mr. Bryan. No One Seriously Injured. Joliet, 111., July 26.—The Alton pas senger train which arrives in Cnicago at 8:10 a. m. ran into a freight engine in the yards.

TKE SIBERIAN RAILWAY Hints For Travelers Furnished by an American Consul. TOILET ARTICLES ARE NEEDED. Daily TrniiiM Arc Ilmi From tlic l'a eitio CoiiNt to St. lV'tcraburK-Only Thirty-six I'ouikIm of Traius can be taken now at Vladivo stock, Dalny, Port Arthur or New eliwang daily for St. Petersburg, the route being all rail, with the excep tion of twenty-seven miles across Lake Baikal. Only second class accommoda tions are to be bad at the present time from the Pacific to Irkutsk, although first class trains are expected to be in operation in a short while. From Irkutsk fast trains equipped with din ing cars, bath, barber's shop and library run thrice weekly to St. Peters burg, the time from that point to the capital being eight days. Among the things Mr. Miller advises travelers to carry with them are their own blankets, pillows, towels and soap and as much hand luggage as possible, as baggage to the amount of'thirty six pounds only is transported free by the railroad. Mr. Miller also advises travelers unable to speak Russian to provide themselves with pocket dic tionaries in their native tongue and Russian, as the train hands speak only the latter language. A first class fare from Irkutsk to St Petersburg is $02.57, the second class fare being $4G.S1. The sleeping car rates are !?11.00 first and $7.37 second class from Irkutsk to St Petersburg, while from the Pacific to London they are: First class §128.75 and second class $103. The time required for the trip from Japan or China to New York via Siberia is about the same as across the Pacific and the American conti nent. In the matter of money, Mr. Miller says it should all bo in rubles (50 cents gold) and kopecks (about half a cent gold). Money can bo exchanged at Vladivostok, Dalny, Port Arthur and Newchwang. All travelers should be provided with passports vised by a Russian consul. Trains from Tientsin and Peking make close connection daily with trains for St. Petersburg and New chwang, the time required to make tbe journey from Peking to Newchwang being two days. Several steamship lines are operated between Japan, Shanghai, and Chefu to Port Arthur, Dalny, Newchwang and Vladivostok. There arc no hotels at Port Arthur, and at that point travelers should stay on board their steamers while awaiting their trains. The hotels at Dalny and Newchwang are only fair. There are a United States consul at Newchwang and a commercial agent at Port Arthur. Telegraph rates to Lon don and other points in Europe are 30.3 cents a word and to New York 50.4 cents a word. The Russian rate is 7.7 cents a message, with an additional rate of 5.1 cents for each additional word. VOLCANIC DUST FERTILIZER Siilendid Flowers Grown In Matter Emptied From Lu Soufriere. The Kingstown (St. Vincent) corre spondent of the Philadelphia Times says there is one remarkable fact in connection with the recent volcanic eruptions in the West Indies which tends to disprove tbe statement of cer tian scientists that volcanic dust is not a fertilizer—namely, that in the gar dens of Kingstown, where volcanic dust has fallen many inches deep, there has rarely been such a splendid show of flowers. They have come out in a wonderful way, so that every one remarks it. It is recorded that after the eruption of 1812 the quantity of produce on the estate was unprece dented. As illustrating how suddenly death came during the eruption it is stated that in some houses in St. Vincent peo ple were found still sitting round their tables at tea. One man had a smile on his mouth and had evidently died with a word on his lips. Another had a pipe in his mouth and his hand outstretched for a match. Xovel lue For A new phase of the missionary tion is coming to the front, says the North China Herald. In the past tbg difficulty in this region (Fuchau) has been to find any one willing to Iden tify himself with the hated western re ligion. But now from every side come requests from a large number of men asking to have a "teacheci' sent to their town, with the offer of a chapel free. The requests are, without ex ception, made in the hope of getting the foreigner, or at least the "church," to take up their law cases. Streets of Gold. The streets of Ballarat, the famous Australian golden city, if not precisely* paved with the precious metal, offer chances of treasure from time to time, says the Pall Mall Gazette. A scav enger, sweeping one of the street chan nels recently, found a pretty little nug get weighing an OUUCM. SANDOW GIRL THE UiiKgntse Transported Free of Cliaryte—Hotel mill Railroad Accommodations. In a recent report to tlic state de partment: at Washington Ilenry 13. Miller, United States consul at New chwang, China, gives some informa tion for the beueiit of persons who find it necessary to travel over the Siberian railroad. Mr. Miller says that he is in daily receipt of requests for information in regard to the Siberian railroad. LATEST. A civ Sill it WalNt l.onds au AtUletlo HlYect to the Figure. The Satulow girl is In style. The new shirt waists are built so that woman looks twice as wide as she is, says tlio London Times. In her skirt she looks narrower, for skirts are very clinging, and they are fitted as far down as tlio knees. But with the waist it is differ ent. Here the figure must be broad and apparently muscular, so that the midsummer woman comes very near being top heavy. Tlio new waists are made with the shoulder plait. This is a fold of clotli which is put on in such a manner that it projects over the shoulders. In cer tain shape it is called the "Uibsonian," and its immediate effect is to make tlio shoulders look very wide. It is really more becoming to a slender woman than to a plump one, but both styles are wearing it anil you are gradually getting used to the woman- who looks twice as broad as she did in the spring. Sleeves display the same peculiarity. They are tucked in rows of tucking running around the arm, and they are trimmed with bands of lace going round and round, all of which tend to make the sleeves large and the arm big. "riffptiff" Is PiJifjloi»s-'s Rival. The peer of pingpong has been in vented in a new game on which tlio title of "pii'L'pulf" has been conferred. The new pastime, which may eclipse pingpong in its own field, is described by a New Zealand exchange as a table game, played with a .miniature pair of bellows and an air ball, which is very light. At eacli end of the table are upstanding goals, and the play lies in directing tlio ball through the oppo nent's goal. This, by a stroke of luck, may be done in a few minutes or it may not be accomplished in a night. The authority on '•pilTpul'f" comments on the hazards of the game as follows "The ball in no way confines itself to tlio table, as a too vigorous puff may send it circling upward to the ceiling, and the player, nursing his impatience, stands awaiting his opportunity to gen tly blow it back into place." POLITICS IN THE SOUTH. Hoke Smith Discusses the Situation From His Point of View. New York, July 26.—Former Secre tary of the Interior Hoke Smith of Georgia, who has been in this city, is quoted by the Times, in discussing conditions in the Southern states, as having said: "The question of principal interest with regard to the political attitude of the South is not whether it will ad here to the Democratic party, but what part it will take in the Democratic conventions. Will it stand by the de parture of 1S9C at Chicago which was reiterated at Kansas City in 1900, or will it go back to the Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson, of Seymour and Tilden? It seems almost impossible 'tor Eastern business men and even Western Democrats to understand the situation in the South. Of first im portance with us is local government. Our sufferings from 1SG8 to 1S80 taught lessons which will make it impossible for many years to come for the white vote to divide. It is not so much a matter of race prejudice it is a mat te^ of protecting our state, county and municipal government from ignorance and incompetence. Their fear of •bad local government causes the large ma jority of the white voters of the South frequently to make no fight on a na tional question lest it might jeopardize that which with them is essential— good local government. The Demo crats of the East may confidently rely upon cordial co-operation in 1904 from those of the South. "The South has made wonderful progress in the last few years. Man ufactories of every sort are being erected. I do not regard the struggle for supremacy in the manufacture of lint cotton to be between New England and the South. The South produces 70 per cent of the lint cotton of the world which goes to manufactures. Foreign mills increase the value of American raised lint cotton $500,000, 000 by manufacturing it annually. It is this immense increase that the South covets." Senatorial Junket to Hawaii.
