At Kingsbury, Ind., on the Wabash road, 65 miles east of Chicago, the second section Of a west-bound passenger train from De troit to Chicago, ran lnlo an east bound freight on a siding early this morning, wrecking both engines, the coaches and a sleeper. Twelve lodIe have already been taken from the wreck, and It Is believed there are eighteen or twenty more. Kingsbury, Ind., Sept. 22. Eleven bloody objects, seme torn and mangled beyond the semblance of humanity, and a score of bleeding and bruised Ictlms, such are the awful results of this morning's horror that occurred at this little village on the Detroit divis ion of the Wabash railway. The list of the dead Is as follows: CHAS. BYRBE of San Francisco, 29 years old, unmarried. .. MISS NELLIE B. TUCKER of New ton, Mass.' H. E. Seeley of Germany. .

'DOW of Fairhaven, Wash., who received a severe contusion of the head, The ca lamity was directly 'attributable to Brakeman Herbet Thompson's care lessness. He has disappeared and all efforts to Ind him have thus far been In vain. The story of the wreck is as follows: The vestibuled limited train, No. 63, from Detroit to Chicago, was running two sections and due to pass this station at 4:40 a. m. The fast freight train was standing on a siding here, waiting to let t pass. The first section of No. 65 passed at 6:15 a. m., and by Its -whistle called the attention of the freight crew to the second sec tion. The engineer replied but It seems that Brakeman Thompson did not not ice the signal and went ahead and opened the switch for No. 92 to leave. He had hardly done this before the second part of No. 55 was seen bearing down. Thompson seemed to be paral yzed. Sweeping to the left, the ponder ous mass of steel lunged heavily Into the waiting freight train with a hor llble crash. The scene that ensued was awful. Nenrly all the passengers were asleep at tho time. NEWS FROM RIO. Every Moment the Citizens Expect the Fight to Begin. London, Sept. 22. Advices this morn ing from Rio Janeiro are to the effect that the city is still in the hands, of the, government forces, but a surrender Is momentarily expected. The rebel admiral, tiring of dilatory negotiations by the government, had ordered his decks cleared for action, drums beat to quarters, and guns shotted and run out. All eyes were turned towards the flagship, whence the signal to com mence firing was expected every mo ment. The utmost consternation pre vailed among the Inhabitants who were still in the city. Every body ex pects today to decide the fate of the city. It is either to be shelled into subjection or surrendered before the firing begins. - The following dispatch was sent by the Brazilian government 'yesterday afternoon: "Sedition is confined to a part of the squadron. The Rebel ves sels In the bay deprived of the power of movement cannot land owing to the resistance of the land forces, nor leave the bay on account of the fire from the forts. The gunboat Republic succeeded In escaping but was repulsed at Santos. A prominent Brazilian diplomat at Vienna Is quoted as saying that he Is convinced 'the (revolutionist 'well eventually triumph and that Prince Pedro, grandson of Dom Pedro will be placed on the throne. A Brazilian delegation representing the rebels ar rived today on a n.Usion, It Is sup posed touching the recognition of the new government when established. CENSUS BUREAU'S REPORT. Washington, Stpl. 22. The annual ri-.it ..f P. ii-T !!;-.. a-..; KcWl p. Porter of the census, bureau was sub mitted to the secretary of tho interior today. The disbursements of the bu reau during the last year amounted to $9,408,582. The total number of mort gages in the United States is shown to be 4,993,461. It Is expected that the treasury department will make public Ir. a few days the tin-plate report for the fiscal year ended June 30. The re sults by the new rule counting only the plate both made and dipped In tho Un ited States according to the recent ruling of Secretary Carlisle, 'shows that the American production Is con siderably short of the amount required by the McKInley bill to keep the duty in effect after October 1st, 1897. CLEVELAND'S DECLARATION. New York, Sept. 22. President Cleve land has taken occasion to deny that he is a rnonometallist, and declares that he Is In favor of the utilization of sli ver so far as it can possibly be done with safety to sound currency. This Btademient regarding the president's position was made by Governor Thom as Ji Jones of Alabama. Although Gov ernor Jones admitted that the presi dent had said much beside this on the silver question, he said he did not feel at liberty to make any statement pub lic, Governor Jones said he did not think the president or tiny body" else could tell just how congress Is going to vote on the silver matter. v, i .mm is He CoMittefl Suicide in Victoria, fi. C.f Last feet B0METHI5B OP HIS HISTOfiY The Astorlan'a Investigation Discloses the Identity or the Man Who Took an Orerdose of Morphine. It waa determined by The Astorlan yesterday that circumstantial evidence in connection with the death of a cer tain "Frederick Schldler" in Victoria, B. C, last week, was "strong enough to warrant an investigation for the pur pose of ascertaining whether the man was W. R. Shideler, late of this city. Accordingly a telegram was dispatched from this office to the city editor of tho Victoria Colonist, Mr. C. H. Gib bons, asking, for full Information con cerning the affair. The following an swer was received last night. There is no doubt now that Shideler is dead. "Real name to W. R. Shideler. No word has yet been received from his relatives, although they were commun icated with Immediately he was found dead a fortnight ago. In the absence of other Instructions the body has been Interred In Ross Bay Cemetery. Shide ler was for some time connected with S. and G. Gump, art dealers of San Francisco, and afterwards with tho Santa Clara Moulding Co. Later ho moved to Astoria with his family, where ho acted as agent and canvasser for a Co-operative Watch Club. Com' ing here, a few weeks ago, ha met with an artist whose specialty is enlarge ment, and whom he previously knew, and was by him, employed as canvass cr. The evening before his death he was speaking, of his wife in Astoria." Shideler was well known not only in this city but all through this county. He arrived here In February, 1892, with a wife and family and organized sev eral watch clubs, Initiating a weekly system of small payments and regu lar drawings. A few months after his arrival he became permanently Ident ifled with the "political reform" move ment and with what was known as the citizen' party, and was soon made President of the Blue Jay Club, a democratic organization, He was the principal figure In the city election campaign one year ago, and next at tained the position of business manag er of the Evening Budget. A few weeks after this, in the beginning of March last, he suddenly disappeared from the city, leaving his wife and family des titute. He was traced to South Bend, but there his tracks were lost and from that day to this nobody has heard anything of him. He took with him a good deal of money and Jewelry and many people who were members of his watch clubs were swindled out of everything they hud subscribed. Mrs. Shideler and her family, however, received nothing but Undness from the citizens, most of those who assisted her being men who had lost money In the watch transac tions. Several weeks ago she went to Portland, where it Is believed she Is now living. Her children are In the Orphan' Home at Vancouver, Wash. She has not heard a word from Shide ler since he deserted her a year ago. A CHANCE FOR HARD TIMES. J. W.

EIGHTY MEN DROWNED Out of a Full Crew Only One la left to Tell the Strange Btory of the r Calamity. Associated Press. ; New York, Stpt. 22.-The steamship Prlnz Wilrelm I., from Pnrt au Prince, brings news of the foundering off Cope Tlberon of the Ilaytlen warship Alles sandre Potion, with 'i crew of eighty men and the following Haytien dip lomats en route to Santo Domingo to r.egotlato a treaty: General Mollnl, M. Cohen, ex-minister , to Mexico, and M. Dejeans, the Haytlen consul general. Cne sailor was saved. The disaster oc curred on September 6th. about fifty miles south from Cape Tlberon. The cruiser had been just put in commis sion. Neither a collision with another vessel, a submerged coral reef, nor a storm, can account for the occurrence. One sailor as tho ship sank under him snatched a pair of oars from a life boat And threw himself Into the water, lie caught a plank on which he drifted for thlrty-slx hours with nothing to eat or drink. He was picked up about 60 miles southeast of Port Pumet. For a long time the castaway was uncon. sclous and could not speak. The lost vessel was doubtless the Mitrailleuse tyoe of gunboat so' popular with th Haytlens. A HEAVY DAY. - The Senate Seems to Have Got Past the Talking Stage. Washington, Sept. 22. In the senate, today, Allen, populist, of Nebraska, In troduced a bill making a dollar, (which may be coined of 412V4 grains of silver, or 2D8.10 of qld) wthe unit 5f value. Mitchell, ef Oregon, Introduced a bill appropriating $375,000 for the construc tion of two steam revenue cutters for the Pacific coast, i The! resolution of Piatt, of Connecticut, for the cloture rule was then taken 'up. .Wolcott, of Colorado, spoke In favor of bringing the question to a vote, though he op posed the cloture, as the only way of determining whether or not the senate, wanted to stifle debate. If It failed to pass the criticisms on the opponents of repeal must cease. The repeal bill was taken up. George concluded his speech, and Hansbrough, a republican, ad dressed the senate In opposition to the bill. The repeal n.cn in. the ronite are still hopeful of reaching a vote ut a comparatively early day and none of them place the time beyond the first week in October. It will be observed this will be In time to get the bill out of the way for the federal elections bill, if that bill should come over from the house of representatives on the 9th of October, aa it probably will. They ray, however, even In cose the federal elections bill should reach the senate before the financial bill is out of the way, that there would be no danger of displacing the latter measure. The sil ver senators believe that the agreement reached today will Inure to their ben efit a.il are very much pleased with It. They are determined to hold on until It can be ascertained whether the elec tions bill can be taken up in the sen ate to the displacement of the silver bill It is understood that the nfrroement is for only n week, but it is presumed if necessary It will be renewed at the ex piration of that time. bOINGS IN THE HOUSE.

FISHING ON THE SOUND""" The Trouble Between the Fishermen and Canners Being Adjusted. The Seattle Post Intelligencer says:' "A change came yesterday in the fish ing situation, and all the union fish ermen went out with their seines. There was a good run of salmon, nearly all sllversldes, a few Jacks but no hump backs to speak of. The an noucement made the night previous at the fishermen's meeting that all the catch could be sold to Mr. Dryadale, of the Point Roberts cannery, had given tho men hope that the fight was over, although doubts of the-truth of the story were heard on every side along the water front. The union men brought their fish across the harbor yesterday and tried to sell them to the dealers, but nono of the dealers wonted eny of the fish. A. O. Dunn, of Alnsworth & Dunn, declined to buy, giving preference to the men running the firm's seine. Hitherto he has not done this but has bought the first fish that came In. But after the manner In which his crew whs treated on the previous day, when they were beaten by union men and prevented from fish ing, he concluded to give them the preference. They brought In about 10,000 pounds of salmon which the firm bought. There was much talk about the reported bargain with Mr. Drya dale. It was learned that Mr. Drys dale, proprietor of the Point Roberts cannery, passed through hero a week ago on his way to San Francisco, and has not been at Point Roberts to make a bargain with the fishermen. While here he said that he had put up 40, 000 cases of salmon and was not going to pack the fall fish." ROBERTS IS GAINING. Chicago, Sept. 22.
