senger Train-A Misplaced Switch-The
Loss of Life.

HUTCHINSON, KANSAS, October 3-The
lightning express train which left here for
the West at 6:2O on Sunday night ran into
passenger train No. at Salem Switch
Station, nine miles distant. No. was on
the side track waiting for the express to
pass, but, the switch being misplaced, the
express ran into it, completely demolishing
both engines and both baggage cars. The

man, who disappeared Immediately after
the collision, but three hours later gave
himself up. When the engines met there

engineers, firemen and baggagemen were
buried In the wreck, which coon ignited
from the engine fires. The bodies OF those
buried in the wreck were scarcely recOgniz-
abe when taken out. The road carpenter,

LAKE MASSABESIE REGATTA
Much Dissatisfaction and Ill Feeling
The Management Denounced.

MANCHESTER, n. H., October 3.-The re-
gatta at Lake Msssabesie to-day drew a
large crowd, but the affair was by no means
satisfactory. When the single sculls were
called only six men responded. Much i'll
feeling was expressed at Courtney entering.
This Ill feeling eliminated last night in a
difficulty between Lee and his old backer,
John Cree.
The single.scull race was called about
four O'Clock with the following starters
taking their positions in the order named:
Lee, Riley, Hosmer, Driscoll, McInerney,
and Casey. The course is called three
miles with turn, but the actual length is
something less. Riley crossed the line first,
but was a trifle outside the buoy, having
been forsed outside to clear the wash from
the others, and was disqualified by
the referee. Hosmer was next, and was
awarded the race. Lee took the second
place, McInerney third, Dd-coll fourth.
No official time was taken, but, unofficially,
It was announced as is minutes 2 seconds.
Riley complained bitterly of the referees
ruling and denounced the management in
the most severe terms, and declared that be
would never row East again, never having
received fair treatment In this section.

Alleged Poisoning In the Interior
KashfnQton star.

Quite an excitement has been brewing In
the Patent Office building the past four or
five days by an attempt, suspected to have
been made by a white female emplcye, to
poison bright-colored woman, who Is also
employed in that office. In the basement of
that building have been employed for
months past two or three women IN Col
Babson's division. One OF these ls q re-
spectacle colored woman, about thirty years
old, named Mrs. L. White, and the other
middle-aged white woman. From 8 state
ment made by this eolored woman, f. ap-
pears that there had been bad feeling on the
part of the white woman toward the colored
woman for some time, for what reason
she does not know: this jealousy
was intensified, she thinks, last FRI
day by Col. Babson transferring her 10
his office up stairs to do some work tempo
rarily. She states that she purchased few
peaches Friday evening before she went
home, and that evening cut them 10 sud
put sugar on them TO take them to the office
for her lunch next day. She left the ] 4r in
the room down stairs, where she had for
me,ly been employed, and about l O'Clock
went 10 the basement and purchased q sand
wich to eat with her peaches. The first
mouthful of peaches tasted very ODD, and
the second one took the skin off her lips
and tongue, aud she got sick very soon.
Suspecting something wrong about the
peaches, she took the jar TO DIR DgrenfOTth,
who, on examination, pronounced the
oily looking substance on the
surfscs to be croton oil. An
emetic was administered, and she was sent
home, but did not suspect sny one but
the woman In her room haeing any
thing TO do with the peaches. She
grew worse and sent for d.. Augusta,
who had been attending her. DR.. Au-
gusta also examined the pesches and took
them to a drug store, where they soon de-
termined the doctOring they had received
to be croton oil, and the doctor demoustra-
ted 1t by applying little to the back of his
ear, which Immediately raised a blister.
Sunday night the wOmsn was very sick but
began to recover under the treatment OF Dr.
Augusta, and this morning she was able TO
go to the office for the first TIM. DIR. Au-
gusta sent note TO Mr. Lockwood express
ing the opinion that the case ought to be In
vestigated. Mr.. Lockwood referred the case
to Mr.. SeatoD, who, after hearing The w0-
mans story, took her before the Commis.
sioner, and It is likely that full investtga-
ton will be held as to the purposes OF this
DANGEROUS use OF croton oil. The case came
to the knowledge OF Lieutenant Arnold,
sunday, and he has been working to get the
racts since that time. TheIriends OF this
colored woman are congratulating her upon
the lucky escape she has made from what
might have been more serious consequences.

THE IRISH HERO OF EGYPT. How Gu
rious is times whirligig and the changes
it brings In 1882 Wolseley is on the
high road to peerage, and possibly to
a field marshals baton. About 1854 he
was eating out his heart in a surveyors
office in Dublin, youth of good lineage
condemned to an uninteresting career,
and waiting almost hopelessly for the
commission which arrived at length and
gave the opening he has since turned to
so good an account. But it was the
knowledge he gained as a youngster in
Dublin which got him his first step up
the ladder and qualified him to act as an
assistant engineer. London World, Sep

DAYTON, o, October 3.-Some $50 cart
men and general lsbOrers In the coal mines
and iron furnaces at Wellston, Jackson
county, struck this morning, closing the
mines entirely. The cause OF the strike il
the refusal of the operators to pay the same
wages as at Coalton, twenty cents more pei
day. The matter Will be referred to
committee of five operators
and five miners, but 1t is
thought that the operators will not accede
to the demand. This cuts off 80 per cent.

not deny that they have afforded some help"

BLACKBOARD TO BE LEFT AT HONS.
1t is con; idered certain, and even admitted by
Republicans that Cincinnati will be Democratic
this year This will give the two Congressman
from that city to the Democrats. The candi
dates for Congress in the city are, on the Re
publican side, Amor Smith, who defeated
genial" Tom Young for the nomination be-
cause the latter had him turned out Of the
collectorShlp or internal revenue, and Ben
Butterworth. one Of the watch-chain states
men. IL is stated here by Ohio people that
Amor Smith will make a much stronger fight
than ButterWorth, and will get many more votes
with the letter. Such is very reasonably to be
expected What works agaiust Butterworth
they say, more than any other thing except
that be is Repu olcan, is his shameful black
guardism and indecency when addressing Mr.
Cox on the floor of the House during the last
session. The sentence of obscenity to which
he gave utterance then, with the galleries filled
with ladies. was enough to Danish any man
from public life. Ohio people say In explana-.
tion OF the fact that Butterworth succeeded in
so far as to get the nomination, that he would
not have been given 1t il there had been any
hope for Republican success in his district
They say the nomination was given the ma
tional blackguard. because they had rather see
nm beaten than any other Republican.
