EXPRESS TRAINS
CRASH HEAD-ON
Serious Collision on a Penn
sylvania Road.
FIVE MEN WERE
INSTANTLY KILLED
Four Others Were Seriously In.ured
All the Killed and Injured Men
Were Members of the Crews of the
Wrecked Trains.
Wilkesbarbe, Nov. 11. The Buffalo
express on the Lehigh Valley railway,
which left New York at 3:30 last night,
ran into the New York and Philadelphia
express going east on the Wilkesbarre
mountain, at 3 o'clock this morning.
Five of the trains crews were killed
and four others seriously injured.
The train going east had the right of
way on a single track. The Buffalo ex
press, in charge of Engineer Robblin,
had orders to keep on a siding on the
mountain and let the New York express
pass. As he approached the siding he
. discovered that his air brakes would not
work. The train was moving about
thirty miles an hour on a down grade.
The engineer whistled frantically for the
hand brakes. He knew the other train
was about due. He reversed his engine
and stuck to her, but could not avert
the collision.
In less than a minute the express from
the West hove in sight. A terrible crash
followed. Nearly all the passengers on
both trains were asleep. Many of them
were thrown out of their berths by the
shock, but none seriously Injured.
The engines and baggage and express
cars were piled up in a heap in the cut.
As soon as possible the dead and injured
were taken from under the cars. The
road is completely blocked and will not
be opened up for several hours. A heavy
wind storm prevailed on the mountain
last night, which caused leaves from the
forest to accumulate on the track. The
engine plowed into the leaves, which
clogged the breaking apparatus.
Farmhouse Burned.
Long Cbeek, Or. Nov. 10. The house
of Mr. and Mrs. A. Duel, an aged couple
living within a few miles of this city,
was yesterday destroyed by fire, with all
its contents. The fire originated from a
defective flue. There was ho insurance
on the building or contents. Mr. Duel,
who is a paralytic, bad a narrow eecape
from death. The unfortunate couple
were entirely without means, and kind
neighbors raised a subscription for re
building and furnishing their home.
May Result Fatally.
Astoria, Nov. 10. Colonel A. H.
Stone, of Knappa, one of the pioneers of
this part of the state, was nearly killed
last night by taking an overdose of an
opiate. His physicians stated today that
while be has recovered from the effect
of the drng the shock to his system may
result fatally, as he is a very old man
and in poor health.
PURCHASABLE
SHEEP SCARCE
Report of Buyers Who Have Been
Through Grant, Harney and Crook
Counties.
Long Creek, Nov.- 10. Sheepbuyers
who have recently been through Grant,
Harney and Crook counties, -report a
shortage of sheep, at least purchasable
ones. Good mutton sheep, they say,are
out of the question, owing to the poor
ranges. - Even the mountain ranges,
heretofore as good as could be desired,
have been short this season. Flocks
which have come out of the mountains
in poor condition have found their home
range killed out by drought, and a great
many owners are already feeding hay.
Nearly every band that has passed
through northern Grant county this
year show unmistakable evidence of
having had to hustle to live.
ARCHBISHOP
GROSS BETTER
Health of the Oregon Metropolitan Much
Improved.
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 1 0. Archbishop
Gross, who has been ill here for several
days, was said to be much improved
yesterday. The archbishop has been in
Maryland about eight weeks, having
come here from the annual meeting of
the archbishops - at Washington for a
needed rest. He went to St. Charles
college, near here, and conducted a re
treat, after which he went to the KeV
demptorist college at Ilchester Mills.
There he was taken ill with an affecta
tion of the heart, and bis cousin. Dr. J.
I. Gross, had him removed to St.
Joseph's hospital, this city-. His condi
tion at first was regarded as serious, but
bis hardy constitution seems likely to
pull him through.
NO PROVISION
FOR COMFORT
Of Those Embarking at Santiago Thirty
Per Cent are Certain Never to
Reach Spain Alive.
New York, Nov. 11. A Santiago
special to the Herald says :
The Spaniards are evacuating the Hol-
guin district rapidly. Four thousand
men on board two vessels left last week.
Three more vessels will take the bal
ance. There has been a total disregard of the
health and comfort of the soldiers. Of
the soldiers at Santiago thirty per cent
are certainly doomed. There have been
thirty deaths of soldiers on the wharf at
Gibara in one day. The bodies were
buried in the bay and' credited to the
transportation company as passengers.
Rebels Take Negros Island.
London, Nov. 11. Advices received at
the office in this city of the Philippine
Commercial Company say the insurgents
have taken the island of Negros, one of
the Philippines separated by narrow
channels from Panay and Zebu, and that
they are besieging Iloilo, the capital of
the island of Panay, and the second
largest port in Philippines.
Deafness Cannot be Cored
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

ADMINISTRATION
HAS SO DECIDED
Whole Amount to Be Allowed Will
Probably Not Exceed One Million
President and Cabinet Carefully
Noted the-Sentiment of the Cour
try in Regard to the Amount of
Indemnity.
New York, Nov. 11. A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says :
Instead of paying Spain $40,000,000 as
an indemnity for the cession of the
Philippines to the United States, Presi
dent McKinley intends to reimburse her
only for public improvements.
President McKinley and bis cabinet
have carefully noted that the sentiment
expressed throughout the country by the
elections has been in opposition to the
suggestion to indemnify Spain to the ex
tent first proposed. As was put out by
the administration authorities, it was
intended to give the capital of the entire
debt floated, with the Philippines as se
curity, and amounting to $40,000,000.
What will be paid by the United States,
according to the present intention of the
president, is the debt contracted by
Spain for the establishment of light
bouses, harbor improvements and pub
lic buildings. All told, this does not
amount to a very large sum, being fixed
at about $1,000,000.
Friends ot Spain in the diplomatic
corps say that it is an outrage for the
president to offer Buch a small sum.
From Mr. Day the officials have learned
that the American commissioners yes
terday presented the reply to the Span
ish refusal to surrender the islands, and
it is expected that now the administra
tion has been so satisfactorily indorsed
by the country the Spaniards will ap
preciate the hopelessness of their posi
tion and accede to the demands of this
government.
Taken Under Advisement.
Madrid, Nov. 11. The queen regent
presided at the cabinet council today.
Sagasta read a letter from Bios, presi
dent of the Spanish peace commission,
announcing that' the American peace
commissioners had refused to assume
the Cuban debt and bad exacted the
Philippines. The cabinet will meet again
this evening and decide upon a reply.
Millions Given Away!
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the needy
and Buffering. The proprietors of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Caugbs and Colds, have given away over
ten million trial bottles of this great
medicine ; and have the satisfaction of
knowing it has absolutely cured thous
ands of hopelees cases. Asthma, Bron
chitis, Hoarseness and diseases of the
Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on Blakeley & Hough
