L RORB.Sec A Frcigbt Train Daslies into a Street Car With Dcauly Result. ' MANY PERSONS WOUNDED Tlireo Aro Killed Outright ami Olhen K.Vicli-l to Die Hull mail Kmiil.iyeg Arrested. Associatod Press. Chicago. July ' 17. Another horrible disaster attributable to Btreets crossing the grade of railroads occurred this evening. The Incoming passenger train on the Grand Trunk road crashed into a crowded street car at Forty-ninth street, killing Charles Perkins, John Dillon and Mrs. Maggie Murphy, and wounding eight others, of whom two will probably die-- Forty-ninth street crossing is a network of tracks, and has always been regarded as a danger ous spot. A long freight train going west had just passed, and the tower flagman raised the gates. This was a signal that the way was clear, and the driver of the car started ahead. The passenger train, which was rapidly ap proaching from the west, struck the street car squarely in the middle, turn ing It around end hurling It thirty feet from the point where It was struck. Some of the passengers managed to save themselves by Jumping. The po lice arrested the engineer and firemen on the train. The engineer said, he did not see the street car until it was on the track, and so close that it was im possible for him to stop. The tower man did not see the passenger train until after J;he gates were raised and the street car started ahead. FOR ITS OWN PROTECTION. The Department Taking Steps to Bring Gold Into the Treasury. Washington, July 17 The Star this evening gives publicity to the following statement regarding guffd paymjents from the United States treasury at New York: Considerabl effort is being made by financial agents here to dis cover the notice behind these payments, but the department is as close-mouthed as a clam. The explanation got through private sources is that the department is trying to take advantage of the scarcity of small and -convenient cur rency for internal business to pinch the banks, as the banks have pinched the government, by steering gold- The banks are greatly in need of small bills for current business transactions and use in the agricultural districts. The theory - advanced Is that If they can noget what they neen of this sort of currency by other means they will have to make terms with the treasury, which will lnvolvethe exchanging of gold or gold certificates In large quanti ties for notes and certificates of small denominations. FIGHTING FOR SILVER. Boise. Idaho, July 17 The following message has been sent to leading citi zens in various counties of the state by Governor McConnell: "Please call a meeting and select delegates, to attend the bl-metalltc meetings in Chicago August 1st, and in Washington August 7th.

The Mark Express says: The wheat harvest is well for ward in the south of England. . The re cent rains came too late to help any cereals but saved the oats and bene fitted the barley elsewhere.
