For a great many v, am doctors pro nounced it a local diseaie, and prescribed lofal remedies, and by constantly failing to cure witrt local treatment, pronounced it iucurahe.

Cleveland's wealthiest society girl has thrown over a baron who is an officer in the German army and chamberlain to Emperor William for an American gen tleman. Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Crocker announce the engagement of their only daughter, Miss Lanra T. Crocker, to William Hayes Acklan of Washington. This is the outcome of something of a romance. Several years ago, when Miss Crocker was traveling in Europe, she met Mr. Acklan, then in the diplo matic service, in a Fronch city. The next winter the acquaintance was re newed at St. Augustine, and Mr. Ack lan came to Cleveland to visit the Crook erg in June. Miss Crocker, who is a 6nperb horse woman, saved Mr. Acklan's life during a runaway. Both were severely injured. The young man was nursed buvk to health under the Crocker roof and tll In love with his rescuer. The next win ter they met at St Augustine, but Bar on von Eichtriz, a German nobleman of fine appearance, was also there and tried to win the heiress. He lingered, but at last was compelled to return to Germany alone. Miss Crocker went to Washington, where she was the guest for several weeks of Vice President and Mra Ste venson. She met Mr. Acklan again and consented to become his wife. Miss Crocker is 22 years old and has traveled extensively. Mr. Acklan is the anthor of several books. New York Journal A FAMOUS CASE. The Davis Will Case to Ee Reopened In Montana. Mrs. Elizabeth Bowdoin of Spring field, Mass., has filed a petition in the Eighth district court cf Montana for the purpose of reopening the famous will case contest involving the many millions left by the late Judge Andrew J. Davis. Mrs. Bowdoin is a sister of the dead millionaire, and she asks the court to revoke the probate cf the old will, over which the contest by the Root faction was carried on for years, and which was finally admitted to probate about a year ago under some private arrangement for the division of the estate, bet which arrangement did not include some heirs-at-law who had taken no part in the original contest. Mrs. Bowdoin was one of tbese. In her petition she alleges that the old will, executed in 18G6, in Salt Creek township, la., when Davis was a poor man, was a forgery ; that the body of the instrument and the signatures of Davis and three witnesses wero forged. The principal point raised in the peti tion is the allegation of the fact that in 1880 Davis executed a will, by the pro visions of which all former wills were revoked, but this will was subsequently destroyod. Mrs. Bowdoin, however, claims that the fact that it was destroyed did not revive the old will, even if the latter was genuine. The estate involved, in spite of the great litigation, has con stantly increased in value, and is worth probably $10,000,000. Chicago Times Eerald. At the Zoo.

J., Aug. 3 A railroad aooident, horrible in its details and sickening in its results, ooourred this evening, just outside of this city, and as a result about 100 persons are either killed or injured. The Reading railroad express, which left Philadelphia at 6:40 o'clock this evening for Atlantio City, crashed into a Pennsylvania railroad excursion train at the second signal tower, about four miles out from here. The Pennsylvania train was return ing to Bridgeton with a party of excur sionists from that place, Millville and neighboring towns. It was loaded with passengers, and a rough estimate of the killed aud injured at a late hour plaoes the number at 100. It is hoped that this is an exaggeration, but the number is undoubtedly more than fifty. At the second signal tower, the tracks of the two roads diagonally cross. The Readirg train was given the signal to stop, but the brakes either failed to work or the speed of the ex press was too great to be checked in time. It caught the excursion train broadside and ploughed through, liter ally oleaving it in twain. The engine of the Reading train was shattered to pieoes. Every oar on the excursion train was jammed to its fullest ca pacity. As soon as the news reaohed Atlantio City, the utmost consternation pre vailed, but the authorities weie equal to the emergenoy. Relief trains were dispatched to the scene, loaded with oots and bearing staffs of surgeons. As quick as the bodies were recovered, they were carried into the local hos pitals and undertaker's shops. A general fire alarm was sounded, and the department promptly respond ed, and aided in the heartrending work of digging for the victims. Fear grew into despair and horror as the vigorous work of the relief gangs revealed the awful extent of the disaster. The first Reading relief train bore into this city twenty-seven mangled corpses, men, women and children. The next train, not an hour later, car ried fifteen of the maimed and wound ed, and two of these died soon after reaching the city. As train after train plied to the scene of the wreck, and came back with its ghastly burdens, the Sani tarium, which does duty as the city hos pital, quickly found its capacity over taxed. Meanwhile others of the dead and injured were being carried ta the private hospital at Ocean and Pacific avenues. Eward Farr, engineer on the Read ing train, was killed outright, as was . another railroad man who rode on the engine with him. This man, whose name has not yet been learned, saw the ' collision coming and leaped from the cab an instant before the crash came. Almost at the same instant the engine i cut its way through and caught- him directly in its path. His body aud that of Farr were found under a heap of debris, but the engineer ly in what remained of the cab, and his right hand still clasped the throttle, lie had been faithful unto death, and mot it at his post. The fireman on that train leiped a few seconds before aud escaped with trifling injuries. Samuel Thornton, ba?gag3-master on the Reading train, is among the dead. Jaine M. Bateman, a Eridgaton un dertaker, is known to b8 killed. He was in the third car, and his hat was found lying among the mass of broken timbers. Richard Trenchard, a Bridgeton ma chinist, and his wife are both dead. Conductor Kelly, of the Pennsylva nia train, had both arms and legs broken, and was internally injured. Albert J. Mosebach, of No. 18 North Eighth street, Philadelphia, was on the Reading train. He esaaped unhurt. The excursion train was made up of fifteen cars, the foremost of which was a baggage car. This and the next two coaches caught the full force of the crash, and were utterly demolished. What remained of the third car was tumbled into a ditch at the roadside. The responsibility for the accident can not now be fixed. William Thurlow, ttlegraph operator in the tower-house, was arrested to night and held, pending an inquiry. Bragged to Death, .The Dalles, Or., Aug. 8. A distress ing accident happened late last even ing, whereby Franoes Elizabeth Kreft, the eldest daughter of ex-Mayor Paul Kreft, was killed.

Sixteen Cases or l'rostrutlon lUeordad at St. I.oul. St. Louis, July 81. The terrors of the heat today found their full climax at the city hospital, where physician and attendants were kept busy all da; and until midnight receiving and attending patients. The number of oases of beat prostration sent to the hospital as serious were Bixteen. Of these, one died, and two others are ex peoted to die at any moment. Henry Meyers, who was sent to the hospital Monday suffering from the heat, insisted on leaving the institu tion this morning, declaring ho was all right He was brought back this af ternoon utterly prostrated and did not rally, dying shortly afterward. Henry Welp, machinist, and George Beard, a mason, were brought to the hospital tonight and it is thought they cannot live. One death occurred in East St. Louis, George Carr, an employe of Wiggins' Ferry Company, sucouinbing from the effects of the heat. Police reports from the different dis tricts in the city show that thirty horses were prostrated today. Reports from different points in Illi nois and Missouri indicate that the weather is still worse than at St. Louis. A REIGN OF TERROR. Cripple Creek Seems to Be a Good Place to Stay Away From, Denver, July 81. An evening paper publishes a speoial from Cripple Creek, a lengthy article, to the effect that a reign of terror is existing in the town, and making a violent attack on Town Marhal Jim Marshull and Police Mag istrate Robert Mullen. It is asserted that the marshal makes regular assess ments on the gambling fraternity, and that respectable and law-abiding citi zens are thrown into jail, tortured and fined without even a pretense of a war rant of authority. For several months, it is alleged, outrageous acts on the part of several city ofiloials havo been growing more frequent and bold, but so completely have the police terror ized the people to it they have not even dared to criticise the acts of oQohls. Among those who have been persecuted are the "cowboy preacher," Rioe, and his wife. IMMIGRANT MATTER3. Business Trausacted by tr stern Lines During the Past Six Month. Chioago, July 81. Mr. Pratt, of the immigrant department of the Western Passenger Association, has submitted his report of the amount of business done by this department in the last six months. During that period 103,483 immigrants were sent through Chioago to the West and Northwest, and the business was so equalized that the maximum difference between any of the lines was only thirteen persons. There were no devolpmenta in the grain war, bat the general opinion is j that rates will have to go lower. The reduced rates which the -roads have made during tho last ten days have Drougni inem no increase in trafflo, and they are beginning to think they have not yet been reduced sufficiently to bring oat the grain. A meeting of general managers of Western lines will be held this week to see if some way cannot be devised by which rates can be kept up and tho business soutired at the same time. IN A LONELY GULCH. j Oklahoma Mail StKge Held Up by Utah -wayinen. i j Wichita, Kan., July 81. In a lonely gulch several miles west of the village i of Lacey, in the northern part of Okla j homa territory, the regular mail stae ; was held up this afternoon by a band i of outlaws, who rifled tho express and I mail sacks, taking all the registered letters and all the valuables carried by j the two passengers in the coach. There is little doubt that the robbery is the work of the reorganized gang of Eill Doolin, the condemned murderer and j outlaw who escaped from jail at Gath j rie several weeks ago with a dozen j desperadoes and robbers. A big force of United States marshals has been in ; pursuit of the outlaws ever since their escape. Bitot a Minister. Texarkana, Ark., July 81.

Mrs. Catharine Irvine, who died at Salem last week, was one of the first women married at The Dalles, having gone there from Indiana in 1863. The high water of last month in Un ion county is said to have destroyed many young prairie ohiokens, as the breeding grounds were in many places overflowed. Elmer Hansen, of Adams, brought into Pendleton last week the first of j this year's wheat crop in this county, and sold it to Mr. Byers for 40 oents a ; bushel. It ran 68j pounds to the j bushel. i j A carload of fat hogs was shipped j from Elgin last week.

H. Spaulding, of Almota, was dragged by a runaway team through a barbed wire fence the other day and his olothing completely 'torn from him. He was soratohed from head to foot, but not so deeply but that bis wounds will soon heal. Hogan Johnson, of Riverside, in Pa cific oounty, put a rope around a bull's neok and started to lead him home. On the way the bull made an attack upon Mr. Johnson from the rear, goring him in the back and trampling him un der foot until he was nearly dead.
