i
An Engineer's Carelessness
Caused a Bad Accident.
TRAINS COLLIDED NEAR ST. LOUIS
Eight rersonB Were Killed, and
Twenty-one More or Less In
Jured Many AT III Die.
St. Locis, Oct. 23. Shortly betore 10
o'cloek this morning, two paesenger
trains on the St. Louis & San Francisco
railroad, going in opposite directions,
collided near Windsor station, thirteen
miles from This city, in&tautly killing
eight persons and injuring a large num
ber, three of whom will probably die.
The killed are all of St. Louis.
The collision occurred between the
second section of an excursion train
bound west, and the 'Frisco Valley Park
accommodation.
From what can be learned at this
hoar, the accident was the result of dis
obedience or neglect of orders on the
part of the excursion crew, who ehonld
have remained at Spring Park for
orders, and let the accommodation train
through. The excursion .train was the
second section of a special bound for St.
James, Mo., 100 miles west of St. Louis,
where the Missouri Home for Aged
Veterans was dedicated today under the
. auspices of the G. A. K. and Women's
Belief Corps. 'The first section had
gone through safely, and the second,
which consisted of eleven coaches
heavily laden with G. A. E. men, their
wives and children, left St. Louis about
9 o'clock. According to J. D. Dishman,
the telegraph operator and station agent
at Spring Park, it ehoufd have stopped
at that place for orders. Instead of
doing so, the Becond section passed by
the station, and soon after met the ac
commodation coming down the grade at
full speed.
' Engineer Hohl, of the accommoda
tion, was not aware the second section
was on the road, and in trying to make
the switch at Kirkwood, crashed into
the ill-fated train in a cut just thirteen
miles from -the St. Louis union station.
There was only one car, a combination
baggage and coach, on Engineer Hohl's
train, but the collision was terrific, both
engines being demolished and a number
of cars telescoped. The wreckage was
pulled high on the track, and above the
sound of escaping steam could be heard
the cries of the frightened and injured
paseengers.
SICKBLS COMMENTS ON HIS TOUR.
Say the Trumps of the West Are for
Bryan.
Philadelphia , Oct. 24. The war gen
erals who have been on a campaigning
tour throughout the West in the interest
of McKinley and Hobart baye cause to
feel proud of the reception tendered
them in this city tonight. Altogether it
is estimated not less than 10,000 people
heard the speakers.
General Daniel E. Sickels, who made
the principal address, said : "In the
West we found the tramps unanimously
for Bryan. His strength among the
tramps is simply overwhelming. I don't
know any one who has surpassed Bryan
in reeent years bat Coxey. Oat West
we were told the war was over and that
the people saw no reason for us old
.wrecks going around making speeches.
We said it would not be oat of the way
for Bryan to invite some of the union
and confederate generals to accompany
him. He might ask General Longs tree t,
who shot off my leg, but Longstreet
would answer 'I cannot, for I am a Mc
Kinley elector from Georgia.' "

seem to have waned. The speeches and
influence of Watson have strengthened
the intentions of the populist managers
to Toee only on terms which the demo
crats will not yield to. From present
indications both parties will continue
their electoral tickets in the field, and
in counties wbere the Australian ballot
system prevails no changes can be made
of names on the official ballot, the limit
having expired at 12 o'clock last night.
Failure of Fusion in Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Get. 23. The sub-committee
of the Populist state committee,
to whom was entrusted the settlement
of the fusion question, tonight formally
withdrew the Populist electoral ticket in
Georgia. This is understood to be the
result yi a failure of negotiations between
Chairman' Jones and Committeeman
Washburn in Chicago. The Populists
will devote themselves to electing their
congressional candidates, on which, it is
said, they will in several instances have
the assistance of the Republican vote. A
large section of the populist vote, it is
thought, will be cast for McKinley.
MR. BEED IN KANSAS.
Greeted u-r Immense Audiences In
Wichita.
Wichita, Kan., Oct. 24. Hon. Thom
as B. Reed of Maine arrived here today
and was greeted by possibly the largest
collection of people ever assembled in
Kansas. Nearly 7,000 non-residents came
in on the excursion trains. These in
cluded eight bands of music. - Mr. Reed
made two speeches in the interest of
Congressman Chester I. Long of this.
district, Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma
and the entire republican cause. One
speech was in an immense circus tent to
about 7,000 men, and the other speech
was at the Auditorium to 3,500 ladies.
One of the remarkable accidental feat
ures of both speeches was tbe fact that
Mr. Reed did not mention the name of
Major McKinley in either speech. The
leading theme of Mr. Reed's speeches
was tbe tariff. He said that there is
money enough in the country, but not
work enough. He said that what the
people of this nation wanted is the em
ployment of all its people and a credit
sufficient to sustain employment. With
reference to the money question, he said
that he wanted money that would, be
good when dynasties fell, when kings
are overthrown and when republics ga to
pieces. That money, he said, is gold.
He said the policy of the republican
party is to marry labor and capital.
"Bryan's shadow," he said, "caused
the Pennsylvania road to fall off $1,250,
000 in its earnings last month. What
loss will the sabstance cause?"
The day's jubilee ended in a tre
mendoas torchlight and pyrotechnic
demonstration at night.
SlOO Reward SUOO.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at' least
one dreaded disease that science ' has
been able to care in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the' only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. . Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken internally, acting directly,
upon the blood and m aeons surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors bave no much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to care. Send for list of
testimonials. Address:

Piles v.-ere beiupr driven in one of the
new1 buildings for a- foundation for a
punch.. They were eight . inches in
diameter and fourteeen feet long'. The
staging: was bamboo, and so was the
frame for the hammer, which was a
round piece of cast iron, with a hole in
the center for a guide rod. Attacked
to the hammer block were 7 ropes, car
ried up to the top of the frame and down
on the outbids, loo!:;ng very much like
the old-fashioned .Maypole. Twenty
seven women had hold of the ends, and
with a sing-song, all together, pulled
down; up the rod, four feet, trav
eled the hammer; then, at a scream.all
let go, and down it came on top of the
pile, which was t rotected by a band or
ring. The women were paid 20 cents in
gold per day. This Maypole driver is
in' general use throughout Japan and
China.
A Sfrimining Machine.
The old-fashioned method of teaching
swimming by means -of a. belt and rope
running on a wire over the bath is stil
in vogue in many swimming schools,
and has survived many more preten
tious systems. A somewhat elaborate
looking machine has been invented for
this purpose which is said to be of great
assistance to the swimming pupil. The
machine is a series of strong metal rods
on which the pupil is placed. These
.rods move in such a way a to cause the
pupil to make all the motions of swim
ming. When the habit of striking out
properly is learned, the learner is al
lowed to go into water and jput it into
.nraclicT.
