    PLUNGE OFF BRIDGE
Spanish Train Dives Into
River Nejeriila.
BUT SIX OF 300 ESCAPE UNHURT
Thirty are Killed Outright, and of
Sixty Seriously Injured Many Will
Xot Survive Silently Wounded
Aid Leas. Fortunate People.
MADRID, June -28. Fourteen bodies and
BO Injured persons have been extricated
irom the wreck, of the Bilbao train -which
overturned at the CCejerilla River last
night.
According to official Information, 30 per
sons were killed and CO others seriously
Injured. Many of the latter will die. Of
the 300 passengers on the train, it Is stat
ed that only six escaped unhurt.
The train, which was composed of two
engines and 16 coaches, was crossing the
bridge, when the couplings between the
engines broke. The second engine left the
track and fell, followed by the entire
train. Into the bed of the river.. Fortun
ately, the water was low.
The nearest medical attendance was a
mile and a half distant, and those pas
sengers who were least Injured aided the
others and did all possible until the ar
rival of relief trains bringing nurses,
doctors and soldiers from Bilbao.
The train fell 50 feet from the bridge to
the river bed, the coaches piling up In a
mass of splintered wood and Iron-work.
Tho"scene is described as horrifying. Many
corpses were carried down the stream,
which was actually reddened with blood.
It was found impossible to extricate
numbers of the Injured who were pinioned
under the wreckage. A railway guard was
arrested In the act of robbing the dead
And narrowly escaped lynching.
It is believed that the official figures un
derestimate the number of killed, some
accounts giving the number of dead as 100.
The full extent of the catastrophe will be
known only when the wreckage has been
cleared away.
The latest dispatches from Earagossa,
near which place the catastrophe oc
curred, give the number of dead as 90
and the Injured as 100. The rescue of the
Injured from the debris is not yet com
pleted. CHINESE TREATY OX THE WAY.
England Expect Xo Trouble Front
Iiooaely Stated Clauses.
LONDON, June 29. The Times corre
spondent at Pekin says it is announced
that the ratification of- the commercial
treaty between China and Great Britain,
which was signed by Sir James Slackay
and the Chinese Commissioners at Shang
hai last September, is on its way,' to Pe
kin, and ratifications will be otehanged
after its arrival, although Chinahas not
vouchsafed a reply to the queries of the
British government regarding? her inten
tions as to the carrying Into effect of
some of the more loosely warded clauses
of the treaty. ,
Article eight of tte treaty provides for
the abolition of tUe likin Carriers, while
the native custonwiouses are retained.
The functions of the llkii barriers and
the custom-houfes are ' largely inter
changeable. Thfc treaty also provides
that Great Britain must be furnished with
a list of custom-houses, concerning the
number of whicjh there is great diversity
or opinion. I he treaty commissioners es
timated their l.umbor at from 18 to 25
only, while experts in the inland trade
sa" the customs stations number at pres
ent 1000.
If article eight becomes operative the
British officials in- China will require to
redouble their vigilance, but it will prob-.
ably not operate because Great Britain
will obtain the advantage in the American
treaty under the most favored nations
clause.
Japan Is Becoming Excited.
LONDON, June 28. According to the
Tokio correspondent of the Times the

guard the Interests of the country.
Marquis Ito and Count Yamagata, who
hitherto advised a'waiting policy, now, it
Is understood, advocate resolute action by
the Japanese government.

ROME, Juno 2S. The Spanish Embassy
to the Vatican has received telegrams
from Madrid anxiously inquring about the
health of the pope, saying that from a re
liable source It was learned that his holi
ness was seriously 11L The rumor soon
spread here, producing the usual sensa
tion. On going to the Vatican, however,
It was found that It was only another
lalso alarm.
The pope is in his usual health, and re
ceived today In private audience the
bishop of Ibague, Colombia. The pontiff
conversed with him on conditions prevail
ing in the South American republics and
the necessity of raising the standard of
the clergy so that they might contribute
to the intellectual progress and moral
progress of the people.
Tonight his holiness retired sooner than

candidates for an indorsement of the
Pierce County Republican Convention, he
might have secured that support. As it
was Taylor did not have much of a fol
lowing. Taylor has some strength in the
"valley" district of this county, and is
a well-known Republican. But he would
not attempt again to make the race for
Congress.
These facts indicate that Cushman is
not endeavoring to find a real candidate
to succeed himself, but Is somewhat
anxious that men should be boomed who
would step aside in his favor, provided
the people did not shove them out of the
way. Cushman is apparently working
for a straw opposition to his renomlna
tlon, and it is equally evident he real
izes that there Is a formidable opposition
to him developing.

placed in Indelible ink: "Here Is all that

'The bushes behind which the murder

uiscusslon of the events of the last
week Is rapidly ending, although th
affair was the text of some clergymen
today. The preachers without exception
condemned the lynching, notwithstanding
tne ract that public sentiment Is over
whelmingly on the side of the lynchers.
-Rev. Robert Elwood. tho Presbyterian

icism for his sermon of last Sunday
night. In which he suggested lynching in
case tne negro escaped speedy punish

day. These criticisms were answered by
nis congregation today when the follow
ing resolutions were read during the
services:
"We, the officers and members of the
Olivet Presbyterian Church, Wilmington.
Del., realizing the unjust criticism being
made of our beloved pastor. Rev. Robert
tawood, by a large proportion of the nub
11c press, do place ourselves on record in
tne following resolutions:
.t-irst We express our firm belief in
our pastor's honesty. intesrritv . And
Christian character: our anoreciatlon of
his ministerial labors In our com eea-
tlon, and our admiration of his manly
wnrisuan courage as exDressed bv his

'Second We record our belief that his
massage of last Sunday evening was both
timeiy ana true, sensible and scriptural
and In no wise can the actions of the
citizens on Monday night be chargeable to

"Third We order a copy of these reso
lutions placed on the sessional records

Wilmington remains quiet. The nollee
department, however, has not relaxed Its
vigilance and is prepared to meet almost
any emergency. It Is not believed that
any further trouble will be started br
eitner wnues or tne blacks.
Rev. Montrose W. Thornton, colored.
pastor of the First African Methodist
t-hurch of this city, preached a sensa
tlonal sermon to his congregation toniKht.
He said in part:
"The white man in the face of his
boasted civilization stands before my eyes
tonight the demon of the world's races, a
monster Incarnate, and In so far as the
negro race Is concerned seems to give no
quarter. The white is a heathen, a fiend.
a monstrosity before God, and is equal to
any act in the category of crime, I would
sooner trust myself In a den of hyenas'
than in his arms. With a court, law and
officers of law in his hands the despised
negro can expect no mercy. Justice or pro
tection. Tho negro Is unsafe anywhere in
this country. He Is the open prey at all
umes oi DnrDarians wno Know no re
straint and will not be restrained.
"There is but one part left for the per
secuted negro wncn charged with crime
and when innocent. Be a law unto your

outrage to save yourself from torture at
the hands of the blood-seeking nubile.
Save your race from insult and shame.

LET MEN CEASE BRUTAL CRIMES.
Then There Will Be No Canse for
Lynching, Says Rev. Dr. Bartlett.
CHICAGO, June 23. "I am no advocate
of lynching or of mob law, but I had
rather see a community wrought to the
highest pitch over crimes that would
seem Impossible this side of hell than to
remain apathetic," was the declaration
of Rev. Dr. Bartlett at the First Congre
gational Church today in a prelude on
"Lynching From Another Point of View.
Dr. Bartlett said:
"I have seen so many sermons, edi
torials and resolutions denouncing lynch
ing and mob law that one gets -the im
prcssion that the citizens who hang or
bum the destroyers of life, home and all
that Is held sacred by womanhood, are
tne offenders rather than the monster
whom they destroy.
"We seem to be so absorbed with the
majesty of this vague term law that
the notion appears to prevail that the
real criminals are those who do not wait
for legal processes, and the violator of
womanhood is the abused party.
"We shudder at the torture of the
criminal who is burned, but apparently
forget to shudder for the Innocent girl
whose mental and spiritual agony is ten
fold greater than that of the fire. This
is not a race problem, except so far as
one race are the offenders. The white
man who commits the same crime Is Just
as guilty.
"The Indignant uprising of a communi
ty, and some of the best meri in It. to
avenge a wrong of such awful magnitude
may be technically lawless, but the spirit
which causes the uprising Is the reflec
tion of a higher civilization. There are
crimes so dreadful that the pure and the
chivalrous and the strong find It well-
nigh Impossible to endure the thought
tnat sucn a degenerate should pollute the
earth by his presence. It Is easy to the
orize about the anarchy of mob law. but
the same hand which penned the calm edi
torial might be the first to grasp the
torch If It was a mother, wife or daugh
ter who was the Victim.
"I say that when you look at a lynch
ing from another viewpoint It Is simply
tne Dursung xortn or an indignation and
loathing that will not "be checked. In the
Old Testament days they made short work
of such an offender.
"Lynching is certainly a bad method
and forms a habit of disorder and makes
men bloodthirsty. But If it is to be avoid
ed there certainly is called for a more
sure and speedy trial of these wretches
who often brazenly deny crime amid red
tape of legal processes, but confess ab
jectly when confronted with determined
men. It is useless to bring to trial good

M'CANX BODY EXHUMED.
Positively Identified by His Wife
Harrington Charged "With Harder.
ST. LOUIS. June-38. A warraat-'was
sworn out today by Mrs.. James P. Mc
Cann, charging F. Seymour Barrlngton
with the murder of her husband, James
P. McCann. As the alleged crime was
committed In St. Louis County, the city
authorities today gave Barrlngton over
into tne custody of Sheriff Hankon, and
the prisoner was taken to Clayton and
placed In jail.
The body of the man supposed to be
McCann, which was buried soon after be
ing discovered several days ago at Bon
flls, was exhumed today and an Inquest
held by Coroner Koch, of St. Louis Coun
ty. Th body was in a terrible state of
decomposition, and the features were
gone, owing to the ravages of vermin.
Notwithstanding. Mrs. McCann positively
identified the body as that of her husband,
partially basing tho identification upon a
gold tooth. Others who knew McCann
intimately also identified the body.
Coroner Koch made a rigid investiga
tion ana returned a verdict that two bul
let holes 'were found in the dead man's
head, and the bullets were extracted, cor
responding in character with the caliber
of the revolver in Barrington's trunk at
the Union Station here last night. He
also found a deep gash in the throat and
a cut In the palm of the right hand, lead
ing to the assumption that the man had
been attacked first with a knife and In
defending himself had seized the blade,
which cut deeply in his hand; that finally
his throat had been cut. and that ha wm
ultimately shot twice in the head.
Barrlngton maintains his innocence.

Mrs. Eddy's letter was as follows
"My beloved brethren: I have a secret
to tell thee and a question to ask. Do
you know how much I love you, and the
nature of this love? No? Then, my sa
cred secret Is incommunicable, and we
live apart. But, yes and this inmost
something becomes articulate and my

heart has discovered It. The spirit be-

this. Inasmuch as our dally lives serve

Mr. Armstrong tonight made It nlaln
that Messrs. Thompson and Eaton will
be required to give up their connection
with the company If they expect to re
main in the customs service, and that
If their positions were misrepresented
with their consent and approval they will
be liable to removal from office.
Treasury officials express decided ob
jection to persons employed in the cus
toms service engaging at the same timo
in some other business, and intend to
break up this practice as far as possible,
holding that It is detrimental to tho best
interests of the service. There are many
occasions, officials point out, where the
Government needs the service of an em
ploye in the customs department outside
M"u' J" tiuaioras ueparunent outside
0' "gular office hours, and if they happen
to be engaged in business which Inter
feres with this, then the Government Is
the sufferer. For this and other rea

the public service will be conserved by
employes not engaging- in other busi
ness. So Additional Midshipmen.
