URITHM Ill7.lt 11 1cn.T . rHtaaenger In Terrible Trolley Colllalon Do Not Cry Out. Pelham, N. II., Sept. ".-Through a head-on collision todny two electric cars, each running, it i. aaid, at a rate of more than 20 mile, an hour, four ierwns were kllli'd and 1IJ were to aert oualy injured Unit they are under phy sicians' rare and several of these are expected to die. Aa there were 70 pas Hungers on the two curs, many others received cuts and minor wound, which lid not prevent their going to their homes. The accident occurred on the line which runs through this town between Lowell and Nitshua and one of the cars which was coming from the latter city was nearly tilled with people on their way to a summer resort. Tbe colli.'on was due, according to tbe official, ol the road, to a miininderstanding of tbe starter's order, by the motorman of tbe cur bound fc r Nashua. Tbe car .tarter endeavored to rectify the mietake by shutting off tbo power and trying to recall the Nashua bound tar, but it failed. 1 he cars met en a curve, ncithar motorman seeing the approaching car until too lute to avoid a collision. Neither was thcru time for the ptssen Kits to eecape by jumping when the car. came together with a force that threw the west-bound car direc ly upon the forward part of the other, crushing the top of the car down upon the pas sengers and pinioning those occupying the Hint three seats in the wreckage. Persons who witnessed the collision stated afterward that it came so unex pectedly that it seemed some minutes before the passengers realized wbatbad happened. All were silent and the paseengeis made no outcry, appearing dazed by the shock. Near the acci dent were a number c( campers, who at once rushed to the scene. With crowbars and other instrument, tbe wrecked roofs of the car. were pried up and the imprisoned passengers released. Not one of the passenger, on tbe two car. escaped injury of tome tort, al thoogb a number were not seriously hurt. IS LP TO COLOMBIA. L'nltcd States Not Working (or New Ca nal Treaty-Wanta Old Agreement. Washington, Sept. 9. The state de partment today received a routine me aage from Mr. Iteaupre, the American minister at Bogota, acknowledging tbe receipt of Secretary Hay's cablegram of August -'), stating that the Washing ton government would enter inte no engiiKflment which would hamper tbe president s freedom of action under the law. This was all the cablegram stated although it has been the basis for spec ulative reports about Mr. Beaupre. ideas of the Bogota situation. Tbe state department', attifde i. one of dignified patience. No indica tion ol its course of action in tbe event that the Colombian congress reject, or amends the treaty will be forthcoming until the time for the exchange of rati- 8cations expires, September 22. It i. known at the state department that the Colombian congress is already regret ting its hasty action in rejecting the treaty, but the state department will sugtiest no remedy lor the mistake. Once and for all the state department has announced that the treaty as ap proved by the Washington government was ratified by the American senate. It i. up to the Bogota government tc ratify that identical treaty, if Colombia desires an isthmian canal. The state department regards all the report, a. to the connection of this government or even it. interest in the unrest on the isthmus as too trivial for consideration. WILL BB A BIU SHOW.

A 300-ton quicksilver plant Is going up on the Black Butte mines near Cot tage Orove, In which G. B. Dennis, of Spokane, Is Interested. 'rour years of uninterrupted devel opment, said Mr. Dennis," has ex posed the most expansive Imbedding or clnnlbar ore on the American con tinent If not In the world. The work represents an expenditure of nearly 1500.000. "The Black Butte quicksilver mines are located In Lane county, some 18 miles from Cottage Grove. During the four years 12,000 feet of work bas been done, which includes a vertical shaft to the 1000-foot level. At each 100-foot station a drift running on the foot wall has been driven either side of the shaft the full length of tbe pay shoot, 227 feet, and at each level the ledge has been crosscut for Its full width of 80 feet. - 'The average of the ore Is about 16 in quicksilver or MO a ton, and there is now blocked out more than $2,000, 000 In quicksilver. Tbe present 40 ton smelting or distilling plant Is be ing enlarged to a 300-ton capacity and the mine equipped with a complete electrical waterpower plant, furnish ing power and light, which places the property In position for working upon a very large scale." Brick Supply Equals Demand. The force of workmen bas complet ed the burning of a kiln of 300.W0 bricks, and now the supply of material is sufficient to keep construction work tn progress at the peaitentiary, reform school and aslynm. At each of these places the new buildings and addi tions are tinder construction. Super intendent James says that although the contract for the construction of an ex ecution chamber at the prison does not require its completion before January 1, the building will be ready for use before that time, and, so far as he can see now. it will be ready before" the date of any banging now in prospect. (food River Apples Contracted. Joseph A. Wilson, manager of tbe Hood River Applegrowers' Union, has lust consummated a 120,000 apple sale. The Davidson fruit company, of Hood River, is the purchaser, and has de posited $1000 to bind the sale. The price for fancy four-tier Spltzensbergs Is $2 a box; yellow Newtons. $1.80, the apples to be delivered at railway at picking time. Before the recent or ganization of the union, buyers were paying $1.45 a box for Spitzenbergs. This Is the largest fruit sale ever made In Hood River. Much Building at Ashland. It Is estimated that tbe value of building Improvements just completed, or now under way, In Ashland will reach $30,000, and the high tide of building activity in that city for the past two or three years promises to be equaled before the close of the pres ent season. A number of new business buildings have recently been complet ed and many new and substantial resi dences are now In course of construc tion throughout the city. Sales of School Land. Though sales of school land have practically ceased, the receipts of the land department, are undiminished. The monthly statement, made by Clerk George G. Brown, shows that for August the collections were $30,036.11, or over $1000 a day. This is equal to the normal receipts while school land was selling. The money now coming in Is composed chiefly of deferred pay ments on sales heretofore made. Will Pack Meat en a Large Scale. Rehor and Hulac of Omaha, Neb., have bought out Kerr & Housler's meat market and cold storage plant at McMinnville. They are making ar rangements to carry on an extensive pork and meat packing business.

Portland, Sept. 8.--'"I thins the most perfectly form of anarcby existing in the world today is to be found among the Moros, the Malay tribe which in habits the island of Mindanao in the Philippines," said General 8. S. Sum ner. General Sumner bas jn.t returned from the Philippines, where he was in command of the southern district ol Luzon for m :re than year and was later transferied to the command of tbe wild and impenetrable jnnglee of Mindanao. He is now on hi. way to as.nme command of the department of tbe Misfconri with headquarter, at Omaha. "I do not think the public appreciate, the great work that the military ba. accomplished," said tbe general. "In Mindanao, for instance, we have built highway, which afford easy access from tbe seashore to tbe interior lake around which dwell more than 60,000 Moros, the anarchist, of whom I speak. 'These people are Mohammedan, and have been for come 400 year. Tbey have absolutely no sy.tem of gov ernment and the individual, of tbe tribe, pay only tbe slightest deference to their dattos or nominal rulers. Nor have these dattos any chief among them. When tbey combined to offer resistance to the American forces, tbey each acted upon hi. own responsibility. Tbey bad no central head. Each datto bossed his own men and took no order, from any quarter. Tbey till tbe land they occupy, but it seems to belong to tbe whole community as a body and even the crops are gathered by the vil lage at large. "Tbe Moros have no property law., and tbe ability to acquire possession of any article 1. the only requisite for its acquirement. A Moro thinks it per fectly justifiable to kill anybody in order to get anything. He thinks no more of killing a soldier to get his bay onet, than he would think of taking away a bone from a dog.
