SERIOUS. TRAIN WRECK Caused by the Disobedience of Orders. FOUTY PEOPLE LOSE Til EI II LIVES l'unr Collided With a Stork Train Near Denver Damaging llolh Greatly Kmpurla Wreck. Denver, Sept. 13. A special to the News from New CiiHtle, Colo., says: Ilio Grande passenger truin No. 1, run 11 i ii s one hour Into, collided with a Col orado Midland stock extra, l.1,' mile west of New Cuxtle. Both engine ure a total wreck. There Are in all probability 40 human beings In the hurtling muss. Shortly after the colliHion occurred the burgage, day coaoli uud tourist sleeper caught fire, while one Pullman and a special car from tho Hannibal & St. Joseph railroad remained on the track. The fault is said to lie with the train crew of the extra. Details of the wreck are hard to ob tain. It is known that A. ilartman and wife and two chiMren, of Harshon, III.; are among the dead; "Engineer Gordon, of the passenger train; H. II. Bed ley, postal clerk, and Jtohert How Jett, passenger fireman, are fatally in jured. Engineer Ostrander and Fire man Sutliff, are missing, and are be lieved to be buried in the wreek. So thoroughly are tho trains demol ished that but few of those oitught es aped alive, those not killed by the shock of the colliHion being burned to death in the ruins of the cars. A Kio Grande social, just arrived from Glenwood, brings doctors and comforts for the wounded. The wreck occurred on what is called the Rio Junction rond. This runs from New Castle to Grand Junction. It be longs jointly to the Denver & Kio -Grande and the Colorado Midland, be ing used by both roads. Two cars of stock were completely demolished, and the right of wuy is strewn with dead stock and debris. Conductor Burbank's explanation of the wreck is that in looking at the passenger's leaving time on the card he looked at the wrong column of figures. Two Italians caught in the act of rob bing trunks have been placed under arrest. The latest information from the wreck makes it almost certain wat 25 persons are dead, and a dozen badly in jured, fully half of whom will die. THE EMPORIA WRECK. Further Details of ths Accident Kauaaa. Emporia, Kan., Sept. 18. Twelve ''known dead, one missing (probably inoinerated) and 14 injured, two of whom will likely die, is the record of the terrible head-end collision on the Santa Fe, as known tonight. It is not positively known that the list given is complete, and it is believed that several were burned to death and nothing left by which they could be recognized. The bodies of 11 have been taken from the debris, three burned beyond recog nition. Nothing could be found of the re mains of the Wells-Fargo messenger, J. F. Bauer. A handful of charred bones taken from the wreck, however, are supposed to be his. Near them was found his watch. Human ghouls delved in the burning -wreckage and plundered the baggage and mail sacks which strewed the ground. One man tried to snatch a diamond from the breast of an Emporia doctor who, weak and nervous, was creeping slowly out of the debris. He had strength enough left to hit the brute a blow in the face, whioh made him turn with a ourso and sneak away. Mail sacks were dragged into tiie corn field and rifled. The report of the Kansas City post office is that praotically all of the mail on both tho wrecked Santa Fe trains was destroyed. One pouoh, however, for Southern California, on the west bound train, is said to have been saved. This train carried a large inail from New York city to California. Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. No official report has been received here. Trains over the Santa Fe will be run by way of Ottawa for a few days. The cost of the wreck to the railway is esti mated at $i00,000. . As the passengers and trainmen re covered from the shock of the explosion, they looked for the injured and dead. Far down in the heaps of debris sound ed wailing voices of men pleading for aid. While the rescuers were working to get at the unfortunates, fire broke out in the wreckage of the forward coaches, and a cry for water went up. Water tanks were torn from their fastenings In the coaches that could be entered, and blood-besmeared men carried them ,over broken timbers to quench the fast spreading flames. The dead and mangled bodies of four victims were dragged to the grass beside the track. After herculean efforts, the flames were finally subdued, and the work of rescue made more easy. A merchant in Copenhagen was fined 10 crowns for having used the American flag as an advertising medium. Explorer Wellman Ketnrna. New York, Sept 9. Walter Well man, the journalist and Arctic explorer, was one of the passengers on the New York, which arrived today.. He has been to Norway and Russia to consult with Dr. Nansen to arrange for a steamer and a large number of dogs. He said efforts would be made to reach the north pole until the feat was ac complished. Russians make pleasant drink fron? sap of the walnut MOWED DOWN. laaletoa Striken Arm Knot l.lka Many Sheep. ' Huzelton, Pa., Sept. 13. The strike situation reached a terrible crinii on the oiitnkirU of Lutim -r this afternoon, when a band of deploy sheriffs II red into a mob of miner. The men fell like so many sheep, and the excitement has been o intense that no accurate figures of the dead Mid wounded can he obtaind. ltepoits run from 13 to 30 killed and 40 or more wounded. One man who reached the scene to night counted IS rorpses. Four other bodies lay in the mountains between Lutimer and Harluigh. Those who Were uninjured carried their dead and wouuded friends into the woods. Esti mates are baffling. Three bodies were found tonight on the road near Latimer. Tho striken left Haielton about 8:30 o'clock this afternoon, and it was their intention to go to Latimer. As soon as this became known, a band of deputies was loaded on trolley car and went whirling serous the mountain to the scene, where the bloody conflict followed. After reaching Latimer, they left the car and forinod into three companies, under Thomas Hall, E. A. Hess and Samuel B. Sercy. They drew up in line at the edge of the village, with fence and a line of houses in their rear. Sheriff Martin was in entire command and stood in the front of the line until the strikers approached. They wore soon coming across the lidgo, and Mar tin wont out to meet them. The men drew up sullenly and listened in silence until he had once more read tiie riot aut. This finished, a low mattering orose among the foreigners, and there was a slight movement forward. Perceiving this the sheriff sU'ped toward them and forbade them to advance. Some ono struck the sheriff, and tho next moment the command was given to the deputies to fire. The guns of the deputies Instuntly belohed forth a terrible volley. The rejiort seemed to shake the very moun tains, and a cry of dismay weut up from the people. The strikers were taken entirely by surprise, and as tho nion full over earli other, those who remained unhurt stampeded. The mon went down be fore the storm of bullets like tenpins, and the groans of the dying and wound ed filled the air. The scene that followed was simply indescribable. The deputies soemed to be terror-stricken at the deadly execu tion of their guns, and aeeing the liv ing strikers fleeing like wild men and others dropping to the earth, they went to the aid of the unfortunates whom they had brought down. Tho people of Latimer rnhsed pell mell to the scone, but the shrieks of tho wounded drowned the cries of the sym pathizing and half-crazed inhabitants. A reporter who soon afterwards reached the scene found the road lead ing to Latimer filled witji groups of frightened Hungarians. Some sur rounded dying companions, and others, fearful of pursuit, clung .to the new comer and begged his protection. At Farley's hotel were two men lying on the porch. Both had been shot in the head. One had three bullets in the thigh. His groans and appeals for a dootor were heartrending. All along the road the wounded men who were able to leave the field of bat tle scattered themselves and sought the shade of trees for protection, but there was no need of that then. Approaching the place where the shooting occurred, people were met wringing their hands and bemoaning the catastrophe. They could not talk intelligently, and it was with the great est difficulty that information could be gleaned. All along the bank of the trolley road men lay in every position, some dead, others dying. Three bodies, face downward, lay along the incline, while others were but a short distance away. On the other side of the road as many bodies lay. The schoolhouse was trans formed into a temporary hospital and gome of the wounded were taken there. Tho colliery ambulance was sum moned to the place as Boon as possible, and upon its arrival, two men, both shot through the legs, were loaded into the wagon. All along the hillside wounded men were found, on the road side and in the fields. Many miners who had been carried to distances could not be found. As soon as the news of the shooting reached Hazelton, there was consterna tion. Within 10 minutes, the Btreets were blocked with excited people. The Lehigh Traction Company immediately started a number of extra cars on the Latimer line, and doctors and clergy men responded promptly. During the excitement, the deputies turned their attention to the wounded, and carried many of them to places where they could be more comfortably treated. Martin Roski, an intelligent Hun garian from Mount Pleasant, who was shot in the arm.-'was seen by a reporter, and gave this version of the affair: "We were going along the road to Latimer, and the deputies were lined across the road, barring our passage. We tried to go through them, and did not attempt to hit or molest them, when they fired upon us. We ran, but they kept on shooting at us while we ran. It is all their fault." Citizens' meetings were held at vari ous parts of the city tonight. Opinion was divided about the regponsibilty for the shooting. At one meeting held in Van Wyckle's casino, attended by bank ers, coal orrators and prominent men, resolutions were adopted calling on Governor Hastings to send militia here. At another mass meeting, attended by thousands of people, the sentiment was against bringing the troops here, and it is asserted by these that there will be no real necessity for having deputies kept here. ' DISTRESS AT DAWSON. Terrible Tale at Suffering Brought from klouriike bjr I ha Cleveland. Pan Franciaeo, Kept. IS. The Ex aminer prima an extra edition contain ing the following news from Dawaou Cityt "Otter Point, B. 0., Pent 13. The Steamer Cleveland ha arrived from St. Jfiohaeta, bringing with bur friim the Yukon gidd fields a story of distre'S and disaster. The miners she has on Umrd and officer in charge of tho aili i p tell a atroy of disorder and dis tress at Dawson. Winter has set in at the mining city of the frozen north, and the two great stores of the place have closed their doors, for they have nothing to sell. Those who have boeti seeking gold must How seek for food or starve. While there may be a tendency to exaggerate the actual conditions of affairs, there can be no question that famine threatens all tho vonturesouio men and women who made their way to the Klondike. Hundreds of unruly spirits are flock ing U) Dawson. Threats of violence are being made on every side. Enormous prices are now being paid for food at Dawson, and it is impos sible that more than four vessels with provisions can roach that camp before the river freezes. Indignation meetings, heavy with murmured threats of vengeance, have Itoen held at St. Michaels by those who see no hope of advancing up the river, and less of getting back to civilization. The first signs of winter are apparent on the river Yukon, which ia begin ning to freeze, and in a few weeks will lie closed against all navigation. A mishap has come to the Excelsior, and from the frozen north comes the story of another disaster' in which 42 men lost their lives. On the Cleveland there are 88 pas sengers who have come from DaWBon City. There are few miners in this party that are able to tell of prosperity. Most of them w ish to exaggerate their possessions, and if one were to believe the indefinite stories they tell he would say the treasure ship with which they oome carried (5,000,000. Captain Hull, of tho Cleveland, says he has 100,000 in hiss.fe. The purser be lieves he can Account for $100,000 on board. The Cleveland left St Michaels August 29. She. has some of the pas sengers of tho P. B. Weare on board. The Weare left Dawson City in time to connect with the Portland had she not met with a mishap and stuck on the flats above Circle City. - The miners from Dawson report that on July 25 the stores of the Alaska Commercial Company and the North American Trading & Transportation Company closed their doors, and an nounced they hud no nioro food to sell. When the announcement was made con sternation seized upon the people of Dawson, with gold-seekers crowding in at the rute of 20 to 80 per day. Drunk enne.s and disorder, gambling and idleness were rampant At St Michaels the condition of affairs is also the cause of gravest con cern. Tiiere are not enough structures in town to accommodate the crowd, and scores of the people are living in tents. Shortly before the Cleveland left St. Miohaels two expeditions, those of the National City and of the South Coast, held indiguation iueetings, threatening dire vengeanoe upon those who had brought them there and then were unable to curry them further. On August 26 the Excelsior left St Miohuels with a large number of min ers and a large quantity of gold. Re ports were current that her treasure amounted to a million dollars. Soon after leaving St. Michaels the Excelsior was caught on the dangerous flats of the Yukon and broke two blades of her ' propeller. When the Cleveland reached Ounaluska she found the Excelsior un dergoing repairs. It is probable she left Ounalaska lust Monday. Shortly before the Cleveland loft fcr Seattle on her journey home the United States revenue cutter Bear put into St. Michaels to tell another story of death and disaster in the ice-bound Arotio. The Bear had on board Cap tain Whiteside, his wife, the first and fourth officers and four seamen of the steam whaler Nevaoh. They are all that remain to tell a terrible story of deuth in an ice pack. Of her crew 42 were lost. - Thirty-one were crushed in the ice and ten frozen' to death. The Bear saw the vessel's signals of distress near Point Barrow, and went to her assistance. The captain, his wife, two officers and four seamen were persuaded to leave the crippled ship, but nine others positively refused to go. They we're left on a desolate field of ice, and it is feared perished with their comrades. The terrible tale of suffering told by Captain Wbitesides and his officers forms but an incident in the story that the Cleveland brings. It was believed after she had leftist. Michaels she was to learn no more of the Klondike, its dangers and disasters, but the Cleve land had hardly gone 85 mies when she passed a vessel that told of evils to come, of dangerous spirits ready for any outrage, of excited and angry men who have left a black record on the coast on their own pathway to the Yukon. The Cleveland and Humboldt had met, and new stories of the abandoned adventurers the latter vessel is convey ing to the gold fields were sent back to the world. When the Humboldt stopped at Oun alaska on her journey to St Michaels, the passengers were in open rebellion. They began to realize that it would be impossible to reaob Dawson before next spring, and they knew that misery awaited them at St. Michaels. There were open threats against W. D. Wood, ! organizer and manager of the expedi tion, and it is feared be may lose big life at the hands of his passengers. The new Yerkes telescope brings the moon within about 200 mile. ARE PLEDGED TO SPAIN Alleged Compact Agreed to by England and France. STATEMENT OF COUNT DK I'EXALO Madrid Government Has Aiauranvea American Interference In Cuba Will Not Ha I'eriultted. St. Louis, Sept. 13. Comte Henry da Penalo, who has been vi-iting friends in St. Louis for a few days, said that the rumor of an understanding he tween Spain and other European coun tries, looking to a check upon American interference with Cuba, was confirmed by information which came to him from high authority. De Penalo has been introduced in St. Louis as a mem ber of an old Spanish family whose sympathies are with the Carlist party, but whoe connection with high poli tioi in Spain keeps him posted on most of tho important diplomatic move ments, lie in id: "Some time last September when the Cuban question was so much agitated in the United tates, even to the point of furnishing planks to the declaration of presidential conventions, Senor Can ova del Castillo, then premier of Spain, received assurances from the English and Frenoh governments througli their representatives in Madrid that they would not permit any action on the part of the United States other than a very perfunctory recognition of belligerency of the insurgents. "On August 5, before leaving Paris, I learned from trustworthy sources that this assmance had been renewed. General Azcarragua, the new premier, has received the French and English ambassadors, who have once more as sured Bpuin of the sympathy of their governments and of their willingness to give 'diplomatic help.' " A BRUTAL OUTRAGE. Faeblo Medicine Men Cruelly Torture an Aged Squaw. Santa Fe. N. M Sept. 13. Major Nordstrom, United States agent in charge of the Pueblo Indians, returned this morning from Zuni Pueblo, where he has been examining in to a peculiar case. Under the influence of Chief Niope, and backed by the religious or ganization in the village known as "the priests of the bow." the most bar barous outrages have been committed by these Indians from time to time. Their last offense occurred when they suspended by the wrists a female mem ber of the tribe, aged 78 years, uud ex torted from her a confession to the effect that she had bewitched the nos tnfnis of the medicine man, and pre vented them from curing an Indian of fuintness. Major Nordstrom says the only mo tive for assaulting the woman was to strengthen the hold of tho medicine men and their colleagues, the priests of the bow, upon their superstitious fol lowers. The woman's life was saved by' kindly nursing, and it is the inten tion of the agent to arrest and punish the ringleaders of the assault. To this end, and in complianoe with Major Nordstrom 's recommendations, the interior department has called upon the war department to concen trate four troops of United States cav alry at Zuni on the 15th inst, with a view to aiding the civil authorities in the arrest of Chief Niope and five of his associates. It is thought that a battle will follow the invasion of the village by troops on Wednesday next. The Zunis number some 1,500, and can muster about 850 warriors, who are well armed with Winchesters. Their village is a veritable fortress, built especially for protection against Apuohes and Navajos. STOLE HER HUSBAND. So Declare Mn. John C. Van Schaack, of Mew York. New York, Sept. 13. The World says: Mrs. John C. Van Schaack has begun suit for $85,000 damages against her father-in-law, Peter Van Schaack, head of the family and senior partner in the great drug firm of Van Schaack & Sons, for alienating her husband's affections. The plaintiff is a daugh ter of Henry Pulmer, and a niece of Potter Palmer. Her speoifio charge, against her father-in-law is -that in 1897, while plaintiff's husband was living with her and supporting her in Brooklyn, the defendant enticed the husbund away from the plaintiff and their home and induced him to go to Chicago, where he has since "by undue influence kept him." Mrs. Van Schaack, then Florence Palmer and John Van Schaack were wintering visitors in Florida together in 1888, and in March of that year they were married. The wife is astrik ingiy handsome woman of 26 years of ae. She was educated in Paris and Berlin, and before her marriage was a social favorite in Chicago.

The leading feature of the market during the week has been the rapid subsidence of the speculation that In part caused the marked and sudden ad vance in values. The market is now once more iion a plane of action where supplies and demand can be expected to exert the controlling influences. The forward movement of the winter wheat crop has been fairly large and is now about to be supplemented by in creasing receipts of spring wheat Up to the preseut time export clearances have been sufficiently large not only to prevent any increase, but to cause a de crease, in available stocks that were al ready reduced almost to depletion. The advanced values have ohecked export sales, and we may, with the larger re ceipts in the near future, look for in creasing stocks at center of accumula tion. So, while the general situation remain as strong as ever, the advance appears over for the time being, or at least until the foreigners again become large buyers of wheat. In corn the week has resulted in some marked changes. A targe crop is no longer anticipated by anyone, and the only question is how small it may prove. We are justified, from all the information obtainable, in claiming that the early planted corn promises well and if praotically beyond damage from frost. The planted corn ia in an entirely different position. Under the most favorable weather conditions it can make nothing but nubbins and fod der. Tiie final result promise not more than two-thirds of a crop, and frost within the next two weeks might further reduce the yield. The advanced values for wheat have attractcil speculation to corn and re sulted in some improvement in values. A still further advance would have taken place had it not been for t!' enormous receipt of corn sold to arrive before tiie extent of damage to growing crop had become known. Since then farmers have ceased selling freely and receipts next week promise to be much smaller. The market, relieved of tiie selling pressure for country account, supported by ari excellent cash demand, promises, with the aid of the incrrB8 iug speculative support, to advance still further.

At 8 o'clock this morning deputies evioted a family from one of the company's houses at Plum Creek. Littlo resistance wa offered at the time, but as soon- as the house had" been emptied and the furni ture put in the middle of the street, women gathered in front of the house, and, .after the deputies had gone, miner forced an entrance to the house and carried the furniture back. Desperate resistance will be offered in case a sec ond attempt 1 made to evict the family. Three hours later, 16 deputies ar rived at Clarksville, and evicted John Puke and his family They are Polish people, but have many friends at Clarksville. Their furniture was car ried into the house again, and Poke, his family and several friend installed' thomselves there, prepared to make U'ouble for the deputies if they aguio attempted to evict them. At 1 o'clock Superintendent Samuel' C. and Thomas DeArmitt, with Deputy Sheriff Young and a posse of 25 special deputies appeared, And the eviction wa all done over agin. A party of 90) women from the neighborhood had gathered, and nearly all of the striking; minors from Camp Isolation were pres ent They jeered the DeArmitts. Tbe women were armed with baseball bats, picks and other things. They con ducted themselves in such a belligerent manner that the DeArmitts were glad to remain within doors while the evic tion was going on. Mr. DeArmitt same out on the porch, and asked the men and women if they would permit him to make a few remarks. They con tented to hear what he had to say, and he entered into an explanation of thai contracts which the miners had made with the company, the purpose being; to show to the assembled people that the company was not doing more than, it had a right to do. Then he launched into a discussion of the strike, and said the men had only themselves to blaraet for their troubles, for they had allowed themselves to be led, and their leaders had simply sold out again. Mr. De Armitt conoluded by inviting Dilling ham, leader of the striking miners at Plum Creek, to reply to his charges. Mr. Dillingham accepted the invita tion, and the result was a period of warmth that threatened to become a riot. Dillingham made a denial of De Armitt's accusation, and asked for -proof of the charges. He wound op his remarks by denouncing Thomas B. DeArmitt as a "grinning liar." Cheer came from the assembled 'miners and women, and Deputy Sheriff Young came from the house. Young essayed to place Dillingham under ar rest, but that man appealed to some of the deputies who were in a wagon U prove his assertion that DeArmitt had invited him to make a speech. The striking miners moved forward to (tha support of their leader, and Young eon eluded not to make the arrest. Dillingham succeeded in getting the strikers to return to their camp, but the women remained, and remarked that they wished to get at the De Armitts. The latter stayed in thw nouse to avoid tiouble. The evicted familiea moved their goods into stable in the neighborhood, and began housekeeping in these quar ter. Late tonight it is reported from Braddook that a number of deputies, who had been conoerned In the evic tions at Plum Creek, got into a row with a crowd of strikers, the result be ing that three deputies are under arrest. . Strikers Marched at Haileton. Hazolton, Pa., Sept. 18. The strik ing miners continued marching today. They marched to Reaver Meadow col liery, and before being dispersed by deputies they drove all the miners from the mine. There are more miner idle today than at any time since the strike began. It is said that nearly 8,000 are on strike. A SPYING SPANIARD. Secretly Studying the Atlantis CoaeS Fortifications. New York, Sept. 13. A special to the Journal and Advertiser from Wash ington says: The Spnaish emissary who has been inspecting the fortifica tions along the Atlantic seaboard is) Lieutenant S. C. Sebral, naval attache of the Spanish legation at Washington. In a report from Captain V. B. Abbott, in charge of the government work at Charleston, S. C, Lieutenant Sebral ia named as the man who has been engaged in this work. Lieutenant Sebral is not a member of the diplo matic corps, and is not, therefore, sub ject to a demand for recall, unless it can be shown that he has violated soma statute respecting the safeguarding of our fortification. It i believe! that the naval attache has been actually guilty of this breach of etiquette, and the government is investigating Sebral'a movements. Blockade Will Kalae. Canea, Sept. 8.
