mora, Indian Territory.
Ard more, I. T., May 18. A south
bound passengor train on the Bnnta Ve
road, known as the Chicago ami Galves
ton express, went through a trestle six
teen miles south of here at 6 o'clock
this morning. Fifteen persons, pas
sengers and trainmen, were Injured.
Several of these are seriously hurt, and
It is believed that two will die.
The accident occurred near the town
of Marietta. A heavy rainstorm,
amounting almost to a waterspout,
caused a sudden rise tills morning ol
all the small streams In that vicinity.
The aooident occurred at a point where
a steep, narrow gulch was spanned by
wooden trestle. The loundatlon
work supporting this trestle was un
dormined by the sudden rise of the little
stream whloh flows through the gulch,
and the trestle went down under the
heavy weight of the train. So groat
was the speed of the train, however,
that the engine and tender, the ex
press, mall and baggage cars and one
passenger coach passed over the narrow
chasm, though the trucks of several of
these cars went to the bottom, several
feet below. The coach next to the
lust, the one Immediately In front ol
the Pullman, was left standing directly
over the chasm, one end resting on
either bunk of the gulch. The Pullman
remained on the track. The lont
coaches which were dragged by the lo
comotive across the broken trestle were
badly wrecked. The baggage oar tele
scoped with the passenger coach, which
was the smoker, and the latter was all
but demoralised. Most of the injured
were riding in these coaches.
J. M. Gridor, the Wc I Is-Fargo ex
press messenger, was so badly crushed
hv a heavy oar chest, that he cannot
live. E. T. Sparks, of Oakman, I. T.,
was crushed in the wreck ol tlio smo
er, and is also mortally injured.

Saltan Demand Anneaetlou of The-
air, Indemnity of 10,000,000 and
Abolition of Capitulation.
Constantinople, May 18. The ports
has replied officially to the note of the
powors, and declines to agree to an
armistioe nntil the following conditions
are accepted:
The annexation ol Thesnaly; an In
demnity of 10,000,000 Turkish, and
the abolition of the capitulations-
The porte proposes that plenipoten
tiaries of the powers should meet at
Pharsala to discuas the terms of peace,
and declares that if these conditions sr
declined, the Turkish army will con
tlnue to advance.
The demand for annexation of Thea-
saly Is based upon the fact that the
province was originally oeded to ureece
on the advice of the powers, with the
obieot of ending briaandage and Greek
incursions into Uttoinan territory, ins
oorte believing at that time the cession
wonld attain theso objects! but the re
cent incursions of Greek bands and the
events immediately preceding the war
have oroved to the contrary. This is
the substance of the reply.
The ambassadors met today to con
sider the porte's answer, which is re
garded as raising an extremely grave
issue. It is believed mat repreaenw
tions will be made to the sultan per
sonally to induce a modification of
these terms, nut it is roreseen ma am

the powers will not consent to a retro
cession of Thessaly. Even Germany is
believed to be resolute on this point,
because it would involve a violation ol

Altogether, the reply ol the porte nai
canned the greatest surprise. It ap-

Sehora waited at the prison till late
in the evening, hoping he would not
have to spend another day outside the
walls. At last, he went to the hotel
near the prison gates, there to remain
until necessary papers for his incarcera

the supreme court has affirmed the de

A BLOODTHIRSTY INDIAN.
Theodora Dnrraat Mahes His Appeal to
Governor Bndd.
Bacramento, May 17. An appeal for
the life of Theodore Durrant, the con
demned murderer of Blanche Lamont,
was today beard In the court of last
resort. Governor Bndd sat In final
judgment In the case, and Eugene
Deuprey, attorney for Durrant, argued
eloquently for the life of bis client.
The governor listened to the argument
in silenoe, and only once did he show
any sign of beintt impressed. That waa
whan Attorney Deuprey asked him to
compare certain writing of Rev. Dr.
Gibson with the writing on the pack
age sent by the murderer to the mother
f his victim. The governor scrutin
ised tha writing plosely, and asked to
be given the originals for comparison.
Durrant's attorney . had come pre
pared to spring a sensstion in the case
by producing a document, purporting
to be a confession of a San Quentin
convict named John Bosenburg, that
be was the murderer of Blsnche La
mont, and Durrant bad nothing to do
With the case. The alleged confession
was introduced, but was devoid of in
fluence, owing to the fact that the gov
arnnr had learned of the matter, and
had ascertained positively that John
Rosenbura did not arrive in California
until seven months after the crime was
committed.
The governor said nothing that would
give an intimation of what he would
do in the case, nor did he show that he
was particularly impressed by any ar-
gument that waa advanced.
