Collision Near Coeur d'Alene Results in Death of 13. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 2. Thirteen persons were killed and 88 more or less seriously injured in a head-on trolley car collision Saturday afternoon, at Coldwell, on the Spokane and Coeur 'Alene branch of the Spokane & Idaho railway, 25 miles east of Spokane. Ornia s of the line have not made a statement as to responsibility for the wreck. It is said the eastbound train id not take a sidetrack as it had been ordered. It is incomprehensible why the motormen did not avoiJ the col lision, as the accident occurred on a straight track. The rr.otorman of the westbound train is among the dead. Both train? were running at a high speed, especially the westbound train, and were presumably beyond control. The wrecked cars were ground to gether in one confused mass. The in juries are of all kinds. Legs and arms are broken and heads and bodies are cruthed. Bruises and scratches from splintered wood and broken glass are numerous, and internal hurts, which it is feared will swell the list of fatalities, were infliccted. The first car of the train, the smok er, was so smashed that nothing but the trucks remained. It was crowded with men and scarcely one of them es caped alive and uninjured. This is the first serious wreck in the history of the road. The track was cleared in about an hcur and a half. PEOPLE IN PANIC. Repeated Shocks in Mexico Add to ' Earthquake Damage. City of Mexico, Aug. 2. With the people absolutely frightened and trem bling in terror irom their awful exper ience in Friday b earthquake ehocks, five distinct shocks were felt again Saturday, and the damage rriday is light compared with the damage Satur day. All communication was cut off from Chilpancingo, Acapulco and Eurround ing towns by the quakes, after it was restored following Friday's shocks, but information of the serious nature of the shocks came through before the wires went down. In every instance the frightened operators at the keys in the stricken towns, talking to the equally frightened operators in the capital, declared "the town is com pletely wrecked," or words to that effect. The operator at Chilpancingo, capital of the state of Guerrero, reported that the palace of Governor Damien Flores, which had been partially wrecked, com pletely tumbled down, but that the family had left its crumbling walls. 1 he shocks here were more severe than the former ones were, and not an American and but few foreigners re mained indoors. The parks and plazas are crowded to overflowing and many people are in actual want of food. OSAKA IN RUINS. Important Japanese City Is Swept by Terrible Conflagration. C-Baka, Japan, Aug. 2. At 6 o'clock yesterday morning the terrible confla gration which has reduced to aBhes a large portion of this city was under control. Up to that hour 13,000 build ings had been destroyed. An area four miles square was swept by the flames. A fire which threatened to destroy this city started at 4 o'clock Saturday morning. At 9 :30 Saturday night the fire had consumed one-fifth of the town. The firemen who had been righting all day, were completely exhausted and troops were cill d out to assist in the fire fighting and to preserve order in the city. The exact amount of damage done by the flames cannot be estimated at present, but the total will be large. A number of persons have been killed and seriously injured by the fire. Osaka is one of the "imperial cities" of Japan, and is one of the most im portant manufacturing and commercial cities of the empire. It shelters al moBt three-quarters of a million peo ple. The largPBt of the Buddhist tern pies, for which the city is famous among travelers, covers an enormous area. The chief public building of Osaka is the palace, built of stone in 1583. Ordered to Take Offensive. Madrid, Aug. 2.

Queen Victoria today contributed $3,000 and the Queen mother $2,000. Thousand Chinese Drowned. Pekin, Aug. 2. A government dis patch from the flooded distrxt in Man churia this morning says that not less than 1,000 lives have been lost in the vicinity of Kirin. The flood ia 20 feet deep over a large area and the proper ty loss cannot be estimated. As the waters are still rising the extent of the calamity cannot be reckoned for sever al days. The Yalu bank, where large sums of money were on deposit is re ported to have been swept away. Adverse News Suppressed. San Sebastian, Spain, Aug 2. (By way of the French frontier.) No news is allowed to be puolished from Barce lona, except that favorable to the gov ernment but reliable private reports say that the revolutionists still hold large part oi tne city and that the ar tillery has not succeeded in driving them out MEXICO HAS QUAKE Area Over 1,000 Miles Square is Devastated by Trembler. TIDAL WAVE ADDS TO HORROR Hundreds of People Have Lost Their Lives and Many Towns Are Completely Destroyed. Mexico City, Mexico, July 31. Hun dreds of lives were lost, innumerable persons were injured and great prop erty loss resulted from earthquakes which shook the entire Southern part of Mexico, extending from Oaxaca on the Southeast to Acapulco on the Pa cific coast, which was partially devas tated at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. bleven dead are reported in this city, and 52 bodies have been recovered at Chilpancingo. Adding to the horror of the quake a tidal wave swept the city of Acapulco, carrying down the bamboo houses which line the shore, with hundreds of occupants, who were unable to escape. Most of these, it is said, were women and children. Driven panic-stricken from their homes by the quake, it was some time before the inhabitants realized the predicament of the families in the poorer quarter. Fires which started gained a good headway, and these added to the death list The total number of dead in Acapulco is not known, it being difficult to get details from there tonight over Federal wires. About 100 miles inland from Apa pulco the towns of Tallica, Puebla, Horles and Chilpancingo, the capital of the state of Guerrero, also suffered. A runner reached Chilpancingo with a report that the town of Mazatlan, ,a near seaport, which was only recently swept by fire, was again devastated The people there had only commence! to rebuild, and the damage, therefore, was not as great as it otherwise would have been. Reports have also been received from Reopan, Zapate, Providencia, Atoyac, Ayutla and Chilpa, and it is said seve ral people were killed in each place, while there was also a great lots of property. Iguala, Teloloapan, Cocula, Cutzamala, Amatepec, Saltepec and other towns north of the Balsas river suffered. Some of these reports have reached the city by native runners, or have been received from the territories by Federal wires. The shock waa felt as far as Oaxaca on the Southeast, and great rumblings are reported in the ground in many places, while the quake threw many bridges out of plumb on the Ouerna vacal railroad. Many of the towns where damage is reported are practi cally isolated, having only runners as a means of communication with the out side world. Every effort is being made to get details of casualties, but it may be weeks until official reports are received by mail. Acapulco is in the earthquake zone, and many temblors have been experi enced there, but the present one, which was followed by a tidal wave, is said to be the most destructive in the his tory of the Beaport. In the tidal wave several craft in the harbor, it is said, were sunk, increasing the loss of life. Vast Area Feels Earthquake. Mexico City, July 31. Central Mex ico, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Querato on the north to Oax aca on the south, an area of more than 1,000 square miles, wa Bhaken yester day oy a series or the most severe earthquake shocks felt in the region for a quarter of a century. The lower part of Acapulco, the whole of Chilpan cingo and probably the other towns were totally destroyed. Reports of the loss of life are scattering, but it is cer tain that hundreds must have perished in the coast cities and in the interior towns. Heney Off for Interior. Seattle, July 31. The steamer Ohio. from Alaska today, brought news that Francis J. Heney, the San Francisco prosecutor, who left Cordova on the Ohio, went ashore at Jumau and start-, ed overland via Skagway for White Horse, Yukon Territory, on the Yukon river. General J. Franklin Bell, chief of staff, U. S. A., also left the steamer at Juneau and started on a short trip to Interior Alaska. The steamer Cot tage City, which arrived from Alaska last night brought $240,000 in gold bullion. Millions for San Pedro. Los Angeles, July 31. Fortifica tions costing possibly $6,000,000 will be located around San Pedro harbor if the government can secure the neces sary aitea for a satisfactory fort This waa brought out today at a meeting between Brigadier General Arthur Murray, chief of the Coast artillery, and representatives of the harbor com mission. The question of buying the site was left with the local engineer ing office. Cuban Cabinet Resigns. Havana, July 31.

The action of the cabinet waa taken after a conference with the avowed purpose of expressing loyalty to the president and relieving him of the embarrassment of making removals. The Main Chance BY Meredith Nicholson Copyright 1903 Thb Bobbs-Mekkilx. Company CHAPTER VIII. (Continued.) John turned out the light, and while hey waited for the elevator to come up for them Warry jingled the coins and keys in his pocket before he blurted: "I say, John, I'm an underbred, low person, and am not worthy to be called thy friend, and you may hate me all you like, but one thing I'd like to know. Did she say anything about me when you passed us this afternoon make any com ment or anything? You know I despise myself for asking, hut " Saxton laughed quietly. "Yes, she did ; but I don't know that I ought to tell you. It was really en couraging. She said, 'Miss Margrave has a lot of style; don't you think so?'" "Is that all?" demanded Haridan, step ping intqthe car. "That's all. It wasn't very much ; but it was the way she said it ; and as she said it she brushed a fly from the horse with the whip, and she did it very care fully." In the corridor below they met Whea ton coming out of the side door of the bank. He had been at work, he said. Haridan asked him to go with them to the club for a game of billiards, but he pleaded weariness and said be was going to bed. The three men walked up Varney street together. They were men of widely dif ferent antecedents ad qualities. Cir cumstances, In themselves natural and harmless, had brought them together. The lives of all three were to be Influenced by the weakness of one, and one woman's life was to be profoundly affected by con tact with all of them. It is not ordained for us to know whether those we touch hands with, and even break bread with, from day to day, are to bring us good or evil. The electric light reveals nothing in the sibyl's book which was not dis closed of old to those who pondered the mysteries by starlight and rushlight. Wheaton left them at the club door and went on to The Bachelors', which was only a step farther up the street. How do you like Wheaton by this time?" asked Haridan, as they entered the club. "I hardly know how to answer that" Saxtor answered. "lie's treated me well enough. It seems to me I'm always try ing to find some reason for not liking him, but I can't put my band on anything tangible." "That's the way I feel," said Haridan, hanging up his coat In the billiard room, "He's rigid, some way. There's no let-go in him. I guess the law allows us to dislike some people just on general prin ciples, and Jim likes himself so well that you and I don't matter." CHAPTER, IX. After the interim of quiet that Lent always brings in Clarkson, the spring came swiftly. There was a renewal of social activities which ran from dances and teas into outdoor gatherings. Evelyn had enjoyed to the full her experience at home. She had plunged into the frivoli- ties oi the town with a zest that was a trifle emphasized through her "wish to escape any charge of being pedantic or literary. She was glad that she had gone to college, but she did not wish this fact of her life to be the haunting ghost of her days; and by the end of the winter she felt that she had pretty effectually laid It. In June Mr, Porter began discussing summer plans with Evelyn. He eliml nated himself from them; he could not get away, he said. But there was Grant to be considered. The boy was at school in New Hampshire, and Evelyn protested that It was not wise to subject him to the Intense heat of a Clarkson summer. The first hot wave sent Porter to bed with a trifling illness, and his doctor took the opportunity to look him over and tell him that it was Imperative .for him to rest. Thompson came home from Arizona to spend the summer. He and Wheaton were certainly equal to the care of the bank, so they nrged Porter, and he finally vielded. Evelyn found a hotel on the Massachusetts North Shore which sound' ed well in the circulars, and her father agreed to It. When they reached Orchard Lane he liked It better than he bad ex pected. Every night he sat down with cipher telegrams, and constructed from Thompson's statistics the day's business in the bank. He received daily from New York the closing quotations on the shares he was Interested in, and as he walked the long hotel verandas he effected transmigration of spirit which put him hack in his swivel chair in the Clarkson National. In August Warry Haridan appeared suddenly and threw himself into the gal ties of the place for a fortnight Mr. rorter asked him to sit at their table and marveled at the way Evelyn snubbed him, even to the extent of running away for three days with some friends who had a yacht and who carried her to New port for a dance. During her absence Warry made all the other girls about the place happy; they were sure that "that Mia Porter" was treating htm shabbily and their hearts went out to him. War ry sulked when Evelyn returned and they had an Interview between dances at i Saturday night hop. He sought for recognition as a lover she had not praised the efforts be had been making to win her approval by dill gcoce at his office; he took care to call her ai'.euilon to bis changed habits. "But Evelyn, I am doing differently. I know that I wasted myself for years so that I n a kind of Joke and every body laughs about me. But I want to knew I want to feel that I'm doing It for you ! Don't you know that would help me and steady me? Won't you let It be for you?" lie came close to her and stood with his arms folded, but she drew away from him with a despairing gesture. "Oh, Warry," she cried, wearily, "you poor, foolish boy! Don't you know that you must do all things for yourself?" "Yes," he returned eagerly. "I know that ; I understand perfectly ; but if you'd only let me feel that you wanted it " T want you to succeed, but you will never do It for any one, if you don't do it for yourself." He went home by an early train next morning to receive Saxton's consolation and to turn again to his law books. Mar grave, on behalf of the Transcontinental, had offered to compromise the case of the poor widow whose clothes lines had been Interfered with ; but Rarldan reject ed this tender. He needed somethingon which to vent his mad spirit, and he gave his thought to devising means of transferring the widow's cause to the federal court. The removal of causes from State to federal courts was, Warry frequently said, one of the best things he did. Porter's vacation was not altogether wasted. As he lounged about and phi losophized to the Itostonians on West ern business conditions, his restless mind took hold of a new- project. It was sug gested to him by the inquiries of a Bos ton banker, who owned a considerable amount of Clarkson Traction bonds Jind stock which he was anxious to sell. Por ter gave a discouraging account of the company, whose history he knew thor oughly. The Traction Company had been organized In the boom days and its stock had been inflated In keeping with the prevailing spirit of the time. It was first equipped with the cable system In deference to the Clarkson hills, but later the company made the introduction of the trolley an excuse for a reorganization of its finances with an even more gen erous Inflation. The panic then descend ed any wrought a diminution of rev enue; the company was unable to make the repairs which constantly became nec essary, and the local management fell into the hands of a series of corrupt di rectorates. There had been much litigation, and some of the Eastern bondholders bad threatened a receivership ; but the local stockholders made plausible excuses for the default of interest when approached amicably, and when menaced grew In solent and promised trouble if an attempt were niade to deprive them of power. A secretary and a treasurer under one ad ministration had connived to appropriate a large share ot the dally cash receipts. and before they left the oftice they de stroyed or concealed the books and rec ords of the company. The effect of this was to create a mystery as to the dls tribution of the bonds and the stock. When Fortcr came home from his sum mer vacation, the newspapers were de manding that steps be taken to declare the Traction franchise forfeit But the franchise had been renewed lately and had twenty years to run. This extension had been procured by the element in con trol, and the foreign bondholders, biding their time, were glad to avail themselves of the political skill of the local officers, Porter had been casually asked by his Boston friend whether there was any lo cal market for the stock or bonds; and he had answered that there was not ; that the holders of shares in Clarkson kept what they had because they could no longer sell to one another and that they were only waiting for the larger outside bondholders and shareholders to assert themselves. Porter had ridden down to Iioston with his brother banker and when they parted it was with an understand ing that the Bostonian was to collect for Porter the Clarkson Traction securities that were held by New England banks, a considerable amount; Porter knew and he went home with a well-formed plan of buying the control of the com pany. Times were improving and he had faith in Clark son's future; he did not believe in it so noisily as Timothy Margrave did; but he knew the resources of the tributary country, and he had, what ail successful business men must have, an alert imagination. It was not necessary for Porter to dis close the fact of his purchases to the officers of the Traction Company, whom he knew to be corrupt and vicious; the transfer of ownership on the company's books made no difference, as the original stock books had been destroyed a fact which had become public property through a legal effort to levy on the holdings of a shareholder in the interest of a creditor. Moreover, If he could help It, Porter never told any one about anything he did, He even had several dummies in whose names he frequently held securities and real estate. One of these was Peckham, a clerk in the office of Fenton, Porter's lawyer. CHAPTER X. Wheaton had not long been an officer of the bank before he began to be aware that there was considerable mystery about Porter s outside transactions. Por ter occasionally perused with much In terest several small memorandum book which he kept carefully locked In his desk. The president often wrote letters with his own hand and copied them him self after bank hours. In a private letter book. Wheaton was naturally curious as to what these outside interests might be, It had piqued him to find that while he was cashier of the band he was not con suited in Its larger transactions; and that of Porter's personal affairs he knew nothing. One afternoon shortly after Porter's re- tarn from the East, Wheaton, who was waiting for some letters t sign, picked up a bundle of checks from the desk of one of the individual bookkeepers. They were Porter's personal checks which had that day been paid and were now being charged to his private account. Wheaton turned them over mechanically; It was not very kmg since he had been an Indi vidual bookkeeper himself; he had en tered innumerable checks bearing Porter' name without giving them a thought As the slips of paper passed through his fin gers, he accounted for them in one way or another and pnt them back on the desk, face down, as a man always does who bas been trained as a bank clerk The last of them ha held and studied. It was a check made payable to Peck ham, renion s ciers. iu amount was $9,096.00 too Urge to be accounted for as. a gayment for services ; for l'tcihrm was an elderly failure at the law w?i Mn .mn. in tUo ntwiTttt far Kenton and sometimes took -charge of small collection matters for the bank. A fi.w flnvs later, in the course of busi- ha nxkprf Porter what disposition he should make of an application- for a loan from a country customer, rone? rang for the past correspondence with their client, and threw several letters to Whontnn for his information. Wheaton read them and called the stenographer to dictate the answer which Porter had in dicated should be made. - He held the client's last letter in his hand, and in concluding turned It over Into tue wire bnsket which stood on his 'desk. As it fell face downwnrds his eye caught some figures on the back, and he picked it up thinking that they might relate to the letter. The memorandum was in Po tcr's large, uneven hand and read : 303 33 000 000 Oil!)!) The result of the multiplication was identical with the amount of Peckham's check. Again the figures held his atten tion. Local securities were quoted dally in the newspapers, and he examined the list for that day. There was no quota tion of thirty-three on anything; the nearest approach was Clarkson Traction Companynt thirty-five. The check which had interested him had been dated three days before, and he looked back to the quotation list for thnt date, traction was given at thirty-three. Wheaton was pleased by the discovery ; it was a fair assumption that Porter was buying shares of Clarkson Traction ; lie would haraiy be buying foreign securities through Peckham. The stock had advanced two points since it had been purchased, and this. too. was Interesting. Clearly, ror ter knew what he was about he had a reputation for knowing; and if Clarkson Traction was a good thing for the presi dent to pick up quietly, why was it not good thing for the cashier t lie waited dav: Traction went to thirty-six. Then he called after banking hours at the of fice of a real estate denier who also dealt In local stocks and bonds on a small scale. He chose this man hecause he was not a customer of the bank, and had never had any transactions with the bank or with Porter, so far as Wheaton knew. His name was Burton, and he welcomed Wheaton cordially. He was alone in his office, and after an Interchange of courtesies, Wheaton came directly to the point of his errand. "Some friends Of mine in the country own a small amount oi x Taction sioca ; they've written me to gnd out what its prospects are. Of course in the bank we know in a general way about It, but I suppose you handle such things and I want to get good advice for my friends." "Well, the truth is, said Burton, flat tered by this appeal, "the bottom was pretty well gone out of it, but it's spruc ing up a little just now. If the char ter's knocked out it is only worth so much a pound as old paper; but If the right people get hold of it the newspa pers will let up, and there's j big thing in it. How much do your friends ownr "I don't know exactly," said Wheaton, evenly ; "I think not a great deal. Who are buying just now? I notice that It has been advancing for several days. Some one seems to be forcing up the price. "Nobody in particular, that Is, nobody that I know of. I asked Billy Barnes, the secretary, the other day what was going on. He must know who the certifi cates are made out to; but he winked and gave me the laugh. You know Barnes. He don't cough up very easy; and he looks wise when he doesn't know anything." "No; Barnes has the reputation of be ing pretty close-mouthed," replied Whea ton. "If your friends want to sell, bring in the shares and I'll see what I can do with them,', said Burton. "The outsid ers are sure to act soon. This spurt right now may have nothing back of it. The town's full of gossip about the company and it ought to send the price down. Your friend Porter's a smooth one. He was in once, a long time ago, but he knew when to get out all right." Whea ton laughed with Burton at this tribute to Forter's sagacity, but he laughed discreetly. He did not forget that he was a bank officer and dignity was an essential In the business, as he under stood it . (To he continued.) Cause for Grief. Tail Actor Ah, Rudolps, why that sad expression?"
