train on the Delaware, Lackawanna &

uorth of here, at 1 o'clock this morning.
Three persons were killed, and a large
utimber injured. The train was a
through one from New Y'ork, due at
Buffalo at 7 :10 this morning.
The accident was the result of the ex
press train plunging into a coal train.
The engine was backing down the south
bound track, and owing to an open
switch, passed on to the north-bound
track just as the fast train came along.
F.nginoer James Linett und Firemon
F.lmer Seull, of the coal engine, were
killed. Fireman William C. Hozey, of
the express, wan instantly killed. F.n
gineer ltutler crawled out from leneath
the wreck of the two engines with
scarcely a bruise, and escaped the scald
ing steam, which parboiled the other
victims. The passengers only suffered
from a shaking up.

Sloan, of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western, said in regard to the wreck at

The Wairarapa liUaster. !
Ai-cki-ant), New Zealand, Nov. 1. j
Additional details regarding the loss of
the Wairarapa have been received from
passenger arriving here. The steamer
struck at midnight during heavy wea
ther and when a rough sea was running.
The passengers were aroused by the
shock and rushed in terroi upon deck,
where life belts were served out and
preparations were made to lower the
boats. Several lioats capsized while
being lowered. The crews then set to
work constructing rafts, and ran a line
ashore with great difficulty. With the
aid of a sort of breeches-buoy they snc
cecded in leecning a number of people.
Many pathetic and heartrending scenes
were witnessed, especially between hus
bands and wives and parents and chil
dren, but there was no panic. It was
with the greatest difficulty the boats
were launched, as heavy seas were con
tinually breaking over the vessel, which
was soon partly submerged, thus mak
ing the rescue ot those on board more
difficult than ever, The life rafts were
cut adrift, and by means of them many
were saved. Others clung to the impro
vised rafts until rescued from shore.
When the passengers rushed on deck,
many sought refuge on the bridge of the
steamship imtil the heavy seas swept a
number overboard and caused those un
able to find places in the boats or on the
rafts to escape to the rigging, where they
remained until daybreak. There is no
doubt that many more passengers would
have been drowned had it not been for
the gallantry of two seamen, who swam
ashore with a line, by means of which a
stout rope, which wag used later in the
work of rescue, was hauled ashore.
Nearly all the survivors reached shore
in the scantiest clothing. Some re
mained on the rocks thirty hours, sub-
sisting on oranges which washed ashore
from the wreck. When the disaster be-
came Known to the Maoris on land,
these natives launched small boats and
succeededinrescuiiiganumberof people.
Assistance was finally obtained from
Port Fitzroy, anil the survivors of the
Wairarapa were brought here. Eleven
pasfengers and twenty-three seamen
were drowned.
Hi ..net tluur
LiviuiA, Nov
L The following bul -
letin was posted at 10 o'clock this morn
ing: "The czar passed the night with
out sleep. The activity of his heart is
diminishing rapidly. His majesty's
condition is very dangerous. His respi
ration is very difficult." This bulletin
is by far the gravest yet issued, and the
general belief here is the death agony
has begun and the czar cannot last
through tho day. It is understood bis
majesty has not slept at all during the
night, and the difficulty he experiences
in breathing makes every movement a
supreme struggle.
A ntruftlve Klaze.
Newiu kyi'okt, Mass.. Oct. !U. Fire
broke out this morning in the shops of
the Newburyport car factory and soon
destroyed that large wooden structure.

moned from Portsmouth, N. 1L, Haver
hill and several places near by. At 11 :IiO
the fire is believed to be under control.
A glandard Oil Fire.
Cleveland, Oct. 31. One of the larg
est fires at the Standard Oil works for
years broke out this afternoon. Three
alarms were sent in, and the fire depart
ment responded promptly, but the en
gines were of little service, as the tank
was too far away. Tank No. 13, where
the tire started, exploded with great
force. A favorable wind and hard work
by the fire department prevented the
flames from spreading.
Attempt to Wreck a Train.
Bikkalo, Oct. 31. An attempt was

Salem, Or., Nov. 1. George Hansen,
a young engineer at McCrow Steus
lOiT's meat market, was this morning
electrocuteu in the cold storage room by
a live electric wire. Hansen was in the
cold storago room at work, and by some
means came in contact w ith the wire,
j and was dead before the discovery was
I made. When relief went to him the
current was still running through the
body, which was burned in places to a

not known exactly how the accident
happened.
He was about 25 years of age and has
no relatives in this state. He was a
member of the Knights of Tythias of
this city, and they will probably take

A SucceHKful Train Itohbcry.
Birmingham, A!a., Nov. 1. Passenger
train No. 3, of the Kansas City, Memphis
& Birmingham railroad, was held up at
1 o'clock this morning a few miles east of
New Albany, Mi?s., by three masked
men, and the expre?s car looted of its
contents. Conductor W. B. Leonard git
into Birmingham at 6 o'clock this morn
ing. He said:
"My train pulled out of New Albany
about 1 o'clock this morning. Shortly
after getting under full headway I began
to slack up, and was soon at a standstill.
As I afterwards discovered, three masked
men had boarded the tender of the en
gine at New Albany, and covering En
gineer Campbell and Fireman Alexander
with pistols, compelled them to stop at a
designated point in the woods, a few
miles east of New Albany. When the
train stopped I was in the baggage car.
I went to the side door and opened it,
only to be greeted with several pistol
i shots from one of the robbers. I shoved
j the door shut, but turning around, I saw
two robbers already in the baggage car
! with pistols covering me. The engineer
and fireman were made to dismount,
and an unsuccessful attempt made to un
1 couple the engine. Lxpress Messenger
! Jeannette's car was forced open, the
robbers covering me with pistols all the
i time, and we were forced to give up the
contents of the safu. .Putting the booty
! in a bag. the robbers backed off into the
, woods with pistols still pointed at us.
and disappeared in the darkness. We
did not see their faces at any tiie."
The officers of the Southern Express
Company giva it out that only u little
cheap jewelry and vouchers constituted
the robbers' booty. It is suspected, how
ever, the express company is lying low
on this subject. The general belief is
that the robbers were amateurs, although
they did things up in shape.

some time after his elevation to the
throne he seldom appeared in public,
but lived in the closest retirement at
Gatschina, being in constant dread of
the machinations of the secret societies
of socialists. His coronation took place
at Moscow, May 27, 1883. He married
in 18P6, Mary Feodorovna, formerly
Maiy Sophia Fredericks Dagmar,
daughtcrof Christian IX, King of Den
mark, and sister of thePrincessof Wales
and the King of Greece. The principal
concern of the czar has been to put
down nihilism ; to develope the military
power of Ruisia; to organize her Asiatic
and Caucasian provinces, and to keep a
steady eye upon Cdnstinople. The czar
never forgave his cousin Alexander Jo
seph of Battenberg tor acting indepen
dently of Russia in the crisis of 1KS5.
The" czar struck the prince's name off
the Russian army list and forced him to
sign his abdication. Prince Alexander
soon retired to his estates. In October,
1S88, the czar, with his family,' narrowly
escaped death by a railway accident on
the Transcaspian railway. Of late years
his lite has been a tittle more tranquil,
hut ftill the ever recurring plots of the
nihilists aril socialists have rendered
his life one of care and watchfulness.
