The car was in charge of Henry Greenich, who escaped without serious hurt. A man and a boy boarded the car at Helena. The former had his leg broken. The body of the boy has not yet been found. Traffic Delayed for Hours. All traffic on the line will be delayed until 8 o'clock.

Just what caused the collision is n." known, but the accident is attributed to a conflict of orders. It is not yet known whether the train which pulled out from Mlssoula had its clearing orders or not. The officials of the road will sift the mat ter to the bottom and endeavor to place the blame at the proper source.

New York, Nov. a8.-The Evening World today prints the following: Charles F. Kelly, formerly speaker of the house of delegates of St. Louis, landed from the White Star steamer Celtic when she docked today. At the pier to meet him was Congressman-elect James J. Butler of St. Louis. Butler's bookkeeper, W. J. Sullivan, and William Ratigan,' a St. Louis contractor and neighbor of Kelly's, were his ship companions. Kelly's face was white and wrinkled when he left the ship. He started when an Evening World reporter greeted him by name. Congressman Butler tried to shut the reporter off, but Kelly recognized him as a St. Louis acquaintance and ex tended his hand. "For God's sake let me alone for today," he said. "I have nothing to say. I have just received word that my son is dying and I am going right back to St. Louis." Congressman-elect Butler denied that he had come to the pier to meet Kelly, say ing: "I am here to meet our bookkeeper, Mr. Sullivan. He went away some time ago for his health. I am on my way to Washington and ran up here to meet him." The passenger list of the Celtic bears no person with the name of Charles F. Kel ly. On Several Counts. St. Louis, Nov. 28.-Charles F. Kelly, the former speaker of the St. Louis house of delegates, left St. Louis several months ago, soon after the grand jury had re turned indictments charging him on several counts with bribery in connection with municipal legislation for street railway and other franchises. His bonds were fixed at $3o,ooo. Kelly, it is charged, is the man who distributed the $47,500 boodle fund among members of the house combine three years ago for the passage of the city lighting bill. Until today his whereabouts were unknown to the authorities. A reward of $300oo offered by the state for Kelly's arrest still stands. Chief of Police Keiley has telegraphed to New York, Philadelphia and intermedi ate points asking the authorities to arrest Kelly. It is believed by Kelly's friends that he will try to evade arrest and after reaching St. Louis give bond. After today it will be too late for him to give any testi mony before the grand jury, which ad journs this afternoon, on the city lighting deal. Because of the statute of limitations this is the last day on which anyone con nected with the lighting bill can be in dicted. Taken in Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Nov. a8.-Charles Kelly, formerly speaker of the house of delegates, was arrested in this city this afternoon. He was taken from the western train which left New York about ii o'clock by a local deputy. The arrest was made on a fugitive warrant, charging Kelly with per jury and bribery.

The paper adds: "The monarchy is constitutionally irre sponsible. An adequate answer to the emperor's speech is prevented through the lese majeste paragraphs." The Vorwaerts in two columns reaffirms in moderate lan guage the truth of its original charges against the late Herr, Krupp and alleges that the evidence rests on the testimony of persons quite above party associatlol pergspal interest or political hate.
