THE STRIKE FORTY PEOPLE LOSE TH F.IK LIVES j ’ j i ; famnger Collided With a Stock Train Near Denver Damaging ! Until Greatly—Emporia Wreck. Denver, Sept. 13.—A special to the News from New Castle, Colo., says: Rio Grande passenger train No. 1, run ning one hour late, collided with a < ol- I orado .Midland stock extra, 1 >8 miles west of New Castle. Both engines are a total wreck. There are in all probability 40 human beings in the burning mass. Shortly after the collision occurred the baggage, day coach and tourist i sleeper caught tire, wiiiie one Pullman and a special car from the Hannibal & j St. Joseph railroad remained on the i track. The fault is said to lie witii the train crew of the extra. Details of the wreck are hard to ob tain. It is known that A. Hartman and wife and two chisiren, of Harsiion, III., are among the dead; Engineer Gordon, of the passenger train; R. II. Bedley, postal clerk, and Robert How lett, passenger tireman, are fatally in jured. Engineer Ostrander and Fire man Sutliff, are missing, and are be ! lieved to be buried in the wreck. So thoroughly are the trains demol ; ished that but few of those caught es ! caped alive, those not killed by the i shock of the collision being burned to death in the ruins of the cars. A Rio Grande special, just arrived from Glenwood, brings doctors ami , comforts for .lie wounded. i The wreck occurred on what is called I the Rio Junction road. This runs from New Castle to Grand Junction. It be longs ' jointly to the Denver & Rio Grande and the Colorado Midland, be ing used by both roads. Two cars of stock were completely demolished, and the right of way is strewn with dead stock and debris. Conductor Burbank’s explanation of the wreck is that in looking at the passenger’s leaving time on the card he I looked at the wrong column of figures. Two Italians caught in the act of rob j bing trunks have been placed under ! arrest. The latest information from the wreck makes it almost certain ~:at 25 persons are dead, and a dozen badly in j jured, fully half of whom will die. 1 : THE EMPORIA WRECK. | Further Details of the Kansas. Accident in Columbus, O., Sept. 14.—The great miners’ strike, which was declared on July 4, was brought to un emt this evening, so far, at least, as Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana ami West Virginia are concerned, by the action of the convention of miners which has been in session since Wednesday. After a day of voting and wrangling, the con vention voted to accept the proposition of the Pittsburg operators. The vote was 495 for and 317 against accepting the terms of settlement, and 11 votes were not cast. The delegates from Il linois, who had 2.50 votes, were unanik monsly against the settlement; Indiana and West Virginia voted solidly to ac cept the pro)a>sition, but there were scattering votes among Ohio and Penn sylvania against it. The resolution is as follows: “Resolved, That we, the miners of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, In- diana and Illinois, in eont ention assem bled, do hereby agree to accept the proposition recommended by our na- tional executive council, viz , 65 cents in Pittsburg district and all places in the above-named states where a relative price can be obtained, to resume work and contribute liberally to the miners who wlil not receive the advance, over which the fight must bo continued to a bitter end. “Resolved, That the national officers of the executive board and district presidents act as an advisory board for the purpose of providing ways and means for the carrying on of the strike where necessary; provided, however, that, no district resume work for 10 days, for the purpose of giving miners in other districts time to confer .w ith the operators and get the price, if pos sible. ” The Illinois men will be called in convention at Springfield,September 19, to determine what shall be done in that state. A resolution was adopted denouncing the action of the deputies in tiring into the striking miners at Hazelton. •LIVES CRUSHED OUT. Sis Victims of a Train-Wreck Indian Territory. In the Memphis, Sept. 14.—A special to the Commercial-Ap]x«al from Hanburn, Ark., says: A most d»Eastrous freight wreck occurred on the Iron Mountain railroad, at Hanson, I. T., a small sta tion 20 miles west of Van Buren, at 2 o’clock today, resulting in the death of seven men and the serious injury of six others, two of whom will die. The dead are: Will Frame, Charles Frame, Douglass Anderson. John Johnson, Bose Henderson, Frank Hamilton and II. A. Walton. Of the wounded two suffered inter nal inju ries. All of the dead and wounded were sent to Vian, with the exception of Walton’s body, it being brought to this place, where he has rel atives living. None of the trainmen were hurt. While the train was running at a speed of 20 miles an hour, the forward trucks of one of the cars near the en gine broke, wrecking 15 cars with wal nuts and baled hay. With the excep tion of two cars in front and three in the rear, including the caboose, every car of the 20 in the train was ditched. The middle of the train was a car load ed with heavy machinery, and it was in this car that 13 men were stealing a ride. The occupants of the w recked car were a party of men and boys living in Vian, who were coming to Van Buren to find employment in the cotton fields. When the machinery ear left the rails, it fell on its side, nearly all,of the men being caught by the heavy beams. Emporia, Kan., Sept. 13.—Twelve known dead, one missing (probably ' incinerated) ami 14 injured, two of whom will likely die, is the record of the terrible head-end collision on the Santa Fe, as known tonight.

The miners she has on boar«! and officers in charge of the ship tell a stray of disorder and dis tress at Dawson. Winter has set in at th«» minipg city of the frozen north, and the two great stores of the place have closed their doors, for they have nothing to sell. Those who have been seeking gold must now seek for f«xxl or starve. While there may be a tendency to exaggerate the actual eoiglitions of affairs, there can be no question that famine threatens all the venturesome men and women who made their way to the Klondike. Humlreds of unruly spirits ar«« fhx-k- ing u> Dawson. Threats of violence are being made on every side. Enormous prices are now being paid for fixul at Dawson, and it is impos sible that more than four vessels with provisions can reach that camp before the river freezes. Indignation meetings, heavy with murmure«! threats of vengeance, have been held at St. Michaels by those who see no hope of advancing up the river, ami less of getting back to civilization. The first signs of winter are apparent on the river Yukon, which is begin ning to freeze, and in a few weeks will be closed against all navigation. A mishap has come to the Excelsior, and from the frozen north comes the story of another disaster in which 42 men lost their lives. On the Cleveland there are 38 pas sengers who have come from Dawson City. There are few miners in this party that are able to tell of prosperity. Most of them wish to exaggerate their possessions, and if one were to believe the indefinite stories they tell he would say the treasure ship with which they come carried $5,000,000. Captain Hall, of the Cleveland, says he has $100,000 in his s«fe. The purser be lieves he can account for $150,000 on board. The Cleveland left St. Michaels August 29. She has some of the pas sengers of the P. B. Weare on board. The Weare left Dawson City in time to connect with the Portland ha«l she not met with a mishap and stuck on the flats above Circle City. The miners from Dawson re]x»rt that on July 25 the stores of the Alaska Commercial Company and the North American Trading & Transjortation Company closed their doors, and an nounced they had no more fo«xl to sell. When the announcement was made con sternation seize«! U|>on the people of Dawson, with gold-seekers crowding in at the rate of 20 to 30 per day. Drunk- enne.s and disorder, gambling and iiileness were rampant. At St. Michaels the condition of affairs is also the cause of gravest con cern. There are not enough structures in town to accommodate the crowd, and scores of the people are living in tents. Shortly before the Cleveland left St. Michaels two expeditions, those of the National City and of the South Coast, held indignation meetings, threatening dire vengeance upon those who hail brought them there and then were unable to carry them further. On August 26 the Excelsior left St. Michaels with a large number of min ers an«l a large quantity of gold. Re ports were current that her treasure amounted to a million dollars. Soon aflrr leaving St. Michaels the Excelsior was caught on the «langerous flats of the Yukon uml broke two blades of her propeller. When the Cleveland reached Outialaska she found the Excelsior un dergoing repairs. It is probable she left Ounalaska last Monday. Shortly before the Cleveland left fir Seattle on her journey home the United States revenue cutter Bear put into St. Michaels to tell another story of death and disaster in the ice-bound Arctic. The Bear had on board Cap tain Whiteside, his wife, the first and fourth officers and four seamen of the steam whaler Nevach. They are all that remain to tell a terrible story of death in an ice pack. Of her crew 42 were lost. Thirty-one were crushed in the ice ami ten frozen to death. The Bear saw the vessel's signals of distress near Point Barrow, an«l went to her assistance. The captain, his wife, two officers and four seamen were |>erxuaded to leave the crippled ship, but nine others positively refused to go. Th«‘y were left on a desolate field of ice, and it is feared |«erishedwith their comrades. The terrible tale of suffering tokl by Captain Whiteside« ami his officers forms but an incident in the story that the Clevelan«! brings. It was Ixdieveil after she had left St. Michaels she was to learn no more of the Klondike, it« dangers ami disasters, but the Cleve land had hardly gone 35 inies when she passed a vessel that told of evils t<» come, of dangerous spirits ready for any outrage, of excited and angry men who have left a black record on the coast on their own pathway to the Yukon. The Cleveland and Ilumlmldt bail met, and new stories of the abandone«! adventurers the latter vessel is convey ing to the golil fields were sent back to the w’orld. When the Humboldt stopped at Oun alaska on her journey to 8L Michaels, the passengers were in open reltellion. They began to realize that it would be impossible to reach Dawson before next spring, and they knew that misery awaited them at St. Michaels. There were open threats against W. D.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. Downing, Hopkin* A Company*» Review of Trade. The leading feature of the market during the week has been the rapid subsidence of the speculation that iu part caused Hie marked and sudden ad vance in values. The market ia now once more ii|xui a plane of action when* supplies and demand can be expected to exert the controlling influences. The forward movement of the winter wheat crop has been fairly large and ia now about to be xupplemente«! by in creasing receipts of spring wheat. Up to the present tim«> export clearances have been sufficiently large not only to prevent any increase, but to cause a de crease, in available stocks that were al ready reduced almost to depletion. Th«» advanced values have checked export sales, and we may, with the larger re ceipts in the near future, look for in creasing stocks at centers of accumula tion. So, while the general situation remains as strong as ever, the advance» appears over for the time being, or at least until the foreigners again become large buyers of wheat. In corn the week has resulted in some marked changes. A large crop is no longer anticipated by anyone, and the only question is how small it may prove. We are justified, from all the information obtainable, in claiming that the early planted corn promise« well ami is practically beyond damage from frost. The planted corn ia in an entirely different position. Undcrtho most favorable weather «xmditiona iL can make nothing but nubbins and fod der. The final result promisee not more than two-thirds of a crop, ami frost within the next two week« might further reduce the yield. The advanced values for wheat have attracted speculatiton to corn and re sulted in some improvement in values. A still further advance would have taken place bail it not been for the enormous receipts of corn sol«i to arrive before the extent «>f damage to growing crop had become known. Since then farmers have ceased selling freely and receipts next week promise to be much smaller. The market, relieved of the selling pressure for country account, supixirted by an excellent cash demand, promises, with the aid of the increas ing speculative support, to advance «till« further.
