A Terrible Railroad Collision Occurs ', ' In Wisconsin. . . "Hudson, , Wis., June 9. Five men were instantly killed and four were badly injured by a collision on the Omaha railroad near Hudson junction this afternoon. The trains were rnn ning at a high rate of speed, and a sharp ourve afforded the crews no pos sible escape. : The way freight, west bound, was running at the rate of 18 miles an hour, when, upon nearing" a sharp curve on a down grade, it came upon a work train backing east at a speed of 85 miles an hour. ' The collision was something terrific. On the rear of the work train was the boarding car, in which were four men belonging to the work . crew. They were never aware of their danger, and were " undoubtedly instantly killed. The car took fire, and three bodies were burned in the wreck. The fireman of the work train was instantly killed, but the body was recovered. Both engines were totally wrecked. ",-'"'"' "' ' The wreck was caused by the diso bedience of orders by Engineer James Owens, of the work train, and the con-' ductor; who were given right-of-way for the west-bound track. They forgot their orders, and took the east-bound track, and did not discover their error until too late. ' Owens is nearly crazy, and a guard has been placed over him. The damage is estimated at $60,000. INTO A STONE , QUARRY., Twenty Cyellsts Injured In a Road Race : V- In New Jersey.' New York, June 9. -While turning a sharp corner at the foot of a steep hill, 20' riders in a five-mile road race near Passaic, N. J., ran into a big stone at the mouth of a stone quarry, and every wheel was wrecked. '' That none of the riders was killed is extraordinary. ' Sixty- cyclists had entered the con test, and by the time the steep hill was reached 20 riders were bunched. They did not slow up for the hill, but dashed down at full speed. As they reached the1 sharp corner they attempted to turn into the river road.' The momentum was too great, however, and every man lost control of his wheel. As the lead ers went down amid their wrecked wheels, their followers ran into them, amid the'wildest confusion. ' , " A cry of horror went up from the spectators on the hill, and several women fainted. Half a hundred men were soon at the scene of the accident, and the work of extricating the injured was begun. : Several of the riders were dragged out unconscious.' George Peddy, of Undhurst, was thrown 20 feet away, half dazed, between piles of stone, with a broken leg. He had been among the first to strike the obstruc tion. The stone which the leaders struck weighed fully' 10 tons,' and upon all sides of it lay bleeding ' and bruised riders. ' Parts of wheels and racing Buits were scattered all around." " The men were freed from the wreokage and assisted, to a shed near by, where the spectators bound up ; "their : wounds. Peddy waS the only one seriously hurt but none escaped without some injury and many of ' them had to be taken home in carriages. ' :'; ':'; '' .'.; ;, ' Fatal Boiler Explosion. -V. '...'

An iron beam from the t works ! was 'hurled through the roof of another house, car rying away a part of the front wall and balcony. - 'A fireman three blocks from the scene of the explosion had his head completely torn off.- Troops are now on the spot, and laborers are searching for the remains. - ' .';., -v-, ; " - Cyclist Killed While Racing. , ' - Providence, R. I.June 9.-'-Arthur Lahiff,' a cyclist,' while racing against an electric car, met a tragic death. Just outside the Rogers Williams' Park the roadway is quite steep. Trolley cars are in the habit of bowlingdown the incline at a high rate of speed, and many cyclists have tried to beat them in races. . Last evening ' when a '.car headed down the hill Lahiff was along side. 'He was measured up by the mo tor man for a race and the pontest began in earnest.

Denver, Col.; June 8. A special to the Rocky Mountain News from Miles City, Mont., says: -r ';, .; , , The rumor sent abroad that settlers were returning with their families to their homes is , not true. -About '50 families, refugees from the Indians, are still in this city, and others are coming in daily. As many as seven and eight families are huddled together in one cottage with no thought of returning to.! their homes while the Indians are off their reservation., V . . - , ? A ' school teacher, ' who had been teaching on Otter creek, near the reser vation, nd about 60 miles from here, arrived last evening, having ridden the entire distance on a bicycle in one day. She reports seeing several small bands of Indians prowling among the bills on foot. Over 200 Indians are off the reservation, scattered in small bands roaming through the hills and commit ting depredations, and devouring every thing in their line of march. There are said to be 1,300 Indians on the reservation. . The dance houses donated to the Indians some time, ago by Cap tain Stouch and . others, will be torn down and the large drum taken away from them, and all "bad medicine" made hereafter will, have to be made in the open air. j " v, ( Sheriff Gibb and Stock Inspector Smith leave tomorrow for the scene of the trouble, with warrants properly executed for the arrest of 'White Bull, Yellow Hair and Sam Crow. Sheriff Gibb says he is confident that Captain Stouch, the agent, will co-operate with him in the arrest of the men. ;!, ,r ; The following message was sent to Senator Carter tonight by County At torney T. J. Porter: ! Agent Stouch yesterday turned over Stanley, but he has not secured any evidence against him, and seems de termined to keep the sheriff from mak ing any investigation. Five other In dians are ' suspected, and 'vigorous efforts to secure evidence should be put forth. , Stouch absolutely refuses to co operate with the sheriff in Securing evidence, and is delaying and thwart-; ing the sheriff in every possible man ner. Thursday . he again ordered the sheriff's deputies off the - reservation. Indians claim to the sheriff that Stouch agreed to accept the surrender of Stan ley in full satisfaction of the murder. Stouch is certainly inefficient,, and I therefore urgently request that he be immediately instructed to co-operate with the sheriff in securing evidence against ' all' these murderers and urge, that he be replaced by some competent man."',';:'-.''

Saturday morning, the 19-mOnths-old baby of Charles ' Wincklemann, a well-known sporting man, was kidnaped from the custody of Mrs. Becklow, at 807 Fell street. The parents had not been liv ing together, for some time and the baby had been given by. its father into the care of Mrs. Becklow. j. The mother was permitted to visit the child. When she called Saturday Mrs. Becklow was dressing the boy. There was a ring at the door bell, and when Mrs. Becklow responded, the ' baby , was roughly grabbed from her arms by a man, who carried it to a buggy near by, where an accomplice was awaiting him, and drove away. Since then nothing has been seen of the boy or .his abductors. In the absence of a decree of divorce, neither the father nor the' mother can make any legal claim to obtain the ex clusive custody of the child. ' , ' J. i . ' Torpedo Boat's Speed. New York, June 8. The United States torpedo-boat Porter came out of the drydock yesterday with new paint on her bottom, which had been swept bare .within three weeks by friction with the water, occasioned, by her re markable, speed. Her final trial is un derstood to have been fixed for Tues day. Today, Lieutenant Fremont, in command, took her down around Soot land ligntship and back again. ' The stretoh from the battery: to Scotland lightship is 21 miles, the round trip is 42 miles, and the time in which the Porter traveled this distance was one hour and ; 50 minutes, and she did it easily, for at no time was more than 200 pounds of steam pressure developed, , and that for only a short time.

The Tribune's speoial correspondence dated Havana, Cuba,' June 2, says: - Spain holds the rural population of Cuba as prisoners of war in the prison camps. Unlike any other nation which claims to be civilized she does not feed her prisoners of war. There is no means of learning the f exact number' of concentrados." An j American ' consul ; who has made : a I careful study, says it is more than 25,- l 000. - The best opinion places the num ber between 190,000 and 200,000. ".

In the senate , today Quay presented several proposed amendments to the tariff bill. One of them proposes to strike out the duty on tea and substitute a duty of 1 per cent ad valorem on articles proposed by the bill to be placed on the free list, these duties to continue until July, 1901, af ter which the articles shall be exempt , from duty. Another amendment pro poses a proviso to the paragraph fixing a duty on iron ore, so ore from foreign !( mines owned by American citizens and imported for their own use and not for sale shall be exempt from duty.' m - The lumber; paragraph, which has been more stubbornly contested than ' any feature of the bill thus far, was disposed of by defeating the motion of Vest to place white pine on the free list ayes 20, noes 88.

Today, with the end of his life only five days away, the simple act of an appeal to the United States supreme court arrested the pro cess of the state courts and set him far outside the shadow ef the waiting scaf fold. ; His execution is now stayed un til after the supreme oourt of the United States meets again, which will , not be antil next" October, and passes upon the appeal from the cirouit court, which was allowed today. . Even if the appeal should be dismissed early in the term, the 80 days allowed by the state law between the time when the day for ex ecution is fixed and the day " of execu tion would carry the matter pretty well toward the end of the year. The possi bilities for further delay are so numer ous that practically hehastan insurable lease of life into the new year.
