A LARGE NUMBER WERE INJURED Two Faopl Killed, by Drinking 'Water From Poisoned WellAn Old Conple Asphyxiated by Gii. Paris, Sept. 10. The disaster to the Paris and Cologne express train at Apili, between Noyon and Chauny, yesterday, was more eerioua than at first supposed. The first estimates placed the number of persons killed at 10, with 20 injured. Twelve bodies have already been taken from the wreck. The accident was doe to the slow shunting of a freight train at Apilli. The engineer of the express saw the cars on the line and le versed the en gine. The shock of the collision was borne by three front cars. As soon as the accident became known a priest and others hurried to the railroad station, and did everything to assist the dying and injured. The report that the Btation master at Apilli had committed suicide by jumping in front of the express train when be saw the collision was inevitable, turns out incorrect. The station master ran along the track to signal the express and the freight train, and was caught between the two trains and killed. It seems certain there were Americans among the killed or injured. Plot For a Dime Norel. - Pakib, Sept. 10. The judicial authori ties of St. Quentin are at present en gaged in investigating a most extraordi nary affair. In 1873 a foreigner was found lying in the street with a ballet wound in his head and was brought to the hospital, where he stated that he had been a cashier in a New York bank, and had absconded with $60,000. Be lieving that the Paris police were on bis track, he had taken the train to Hergnier, &Ml finally in despair, he bad attempted to take his own life. Next day fever set in, and he died shortly afterward. His clothes, which were much the worse for wear, were destroyed, but one of the nurses saved the'upper leathers of his boots, which were in fairly good condi tion. .For 21 years they lay in a cupboard where they were found by a man Darned Mennechet, employedr in the hospital, wSo asked leave to take them. It was granted, and he carried them off, little imagining that he had secured a valu able prize, but such was the case. They were lined with papers which proved to be scrip, and Mennechet, who is a mili tant socialist, commissioned one of his political friends to negotiate the bonds in London.' The man recently returned with the money, -and the authorities, having got wind of the matter, are seek ing to discover what has become of it. ' A Successful Burglary. Clarion, Ph., Sept. 10. F. W. Collner & Co., general storekeepers at St. Peters burg, this county, were robbed Saturday of $70,000 in bonds, notes and cash. The theft was kept secret, in hope of catching the guilty persons disposing of gome of the papers. Saturday night the store was closed at 10 o'clock. Four members of the firm, the bookkeeper and clerk finished balancing the books, counted the cash, and after putting the latter into tin boxees locked the store and went across the street. In ten min utes they returned to the store door, which they had locked securely. . It was standing wide open, and the tin boxes containing bonds for $60,000, checks and promissory notes for $5,000 and over in cash were gone.

" During1 a recent riao in- the . lower Mississippi among1 the victims were a Sir. Henry, his wile and. his ten-year-old boy. Quite early in the morning the fact-risinrr tide overspread the yard and came into the house. Mr. Henry climbed up higher tnd higher, and finally he and his fnmily were on the ro jt, with the family dog- and cat and a half dozen chickens. But the tide kept rising until finally the roof slipped off, and then began a singular and adventurous voyage. Sometimes the roof would spin around as of in a maelstrom, and then again ; the waves would sweep completely over it. The chickens and cat were soon swept away, and also the dog, although he always managed to crawl back again. But the most distressing occurrence of this unlucky voyage was the unwel come visit of a ten-foot alligator, which seemed desirous of taking pass age with them. Mr. Henry was not rash enough to attempt to push off the creature, but he yelled at it once or twice, and finally the big saurian dis appeared under a wave and was not seen again. Some time later, when the sun was just setting, the roof ground ed on a high ridge, and there remained until the tide receded. What Did He Ea.tr There comes, says the New York Herald, a eood story from, Monte Car lo, from that holy of holies, the salon wherein are the' trente-et-quantre ta bles. Just as the cards were being shuffled for the commencement of play a gentleman deliberately counted out twelve one thousand-franc notes and placed them on the black without even taking the precaution of insuring them. .It was "playing the limit" and a bystander remarked: "Rather a bold play, sir." "Well." said the nlavprl "T d last night that I saw this table exactly" as it, is now, ana on ine nrst coup black won." ; , The cards were dealt-for the first coup and black won. A suppressed "Oh!" from the bystanders greeted the announcement: "Red loses," and then from across the table came a woman's voice:- "What did you have" for supper last nigit? Do tell me!"
