A FEARFUL WRECK.


Destruction of a Construction Train with
Over a Hundred Laborers on Board-Sev-
eral Men Killed and a Large Number
q Terribly Mutilated-A Hand-Car on the
Track the Cause of the Accident. fff,3
SYRACUSE, N. z, Sept. 10.
The most disastrous accident that has yet
occurred on the New York, West Shore d
Buffalo Railroad took place this morning at
De Witt, a small station six miles east of
this city. A construction train of eleven
fat cars left here at 6:45 a. M, pushed
ahead of the engine. There were about one
hundred laborers, mostly Italians, on the
cars, on their way to Kirkville to complete
,he ballasting Of the road preparatory to
opening the new line to this city on Octo-
per l. Arriving at the point of the disas-
ter, the train was moving at the rate OF
about twenty miles an hour. Rounding
a curve hand-car was seen standing on
the track. =. The engineer could not stop in
time, and the train was completely wrecked.
The cars were broken into fragments and
piled upon each other. Most of the men
jumped and escaped with slight injuries.
Others were thrown as high as forty feet
in the air. About thirty men were buried
in the debris. Heads, arms and legs could
be seen sticking out at nearly all points.
Word reached this city that twenty men
had been killed outright. Relief trains
were sent to the scene at once. Twenty
two bodies were taken from the wreck.
Peter Schmidt, John Carr and Mays Alex
ander were taken out dead. Giuseppe
Marella died while being conveyed to this
city. Ten men were found very seriously
injured, and the remainder with broken
limbs and disigured features. 1t is ex-
pected that five more men will die. An in
quest will open tomorrow. Foreman
Haines, who had charge of the hand-car, is
said to be at fault for the accident.

Where the thornless rose in its beauty grows,
And little boys never are called from play?

Where you never are told: 1T is time for

Where you learn without trying, and laugh
without crying,
Where snarls never pull when they comb
your head? @ :

And little folks thrive on diet of pie;
Then hO hey! you must go, say,
To the wonderful land of Nowhere.
You must drift down the river of Idle
Dreams,
Close to the border of No-man's land;
For year and a day you must sail away,
And then you will come to an unknown
strand.
And no! hey! if you get there-stay

start; "Of course not" returns grand

wrinkles in the dear grandmother
face, you think of the thought and the
care and the trials that helped time to
make them. She is sweeter to me.

But we won't talk of grandmother in

Each wrinkle means a great deal. 1t

Yesterday, as / was crossing South

hand. 1t was hard and brown. And,
though the man himself had his back
towards me, read him from that hand.
He had his Sunday coat on and a tall
hat, but the hand was the hand of q Ia
borer, The wrinkles were made as
much by constant use as by time. 1t
was an honest hand, and I-grandfather
thought it would be more fitting to
gentleman to kiss that toil-stained hand
than the hand of the Sovereign Lady
who rules the British Isles, and one of
them at least, SO badly. When the man
turned his face grandfather saw he was
not mistaken. The face was an honest
one, and when the boat touched the
wharf with an awful bang against the
woodwork, two boys, neatly dressed.

Father Those wrinkles had been
made in daily toll that these nice, bright
boys might be kept nice, and bright,
and good.
Zach wrinkle in your fathers face
means day of anxiety Or toll for you.

whom does VOW mother plan, and mend.

SAVANNAH, GA.,sS Sept. 10.
A cowhiding scrape, in which a bewitch-
ing brunette of the upper ten thousand
played the leading role, created veritable
sensation in the city tonight. She had
been annoyed by several notes from man
supposed to be a commercial traveller for
New York house, and upon the advice of a
gentleman friend granted the unknown
correspondent the privilege of calling at
her home. Not anticipating trap the
stranger appeared tonight, and had hard
~ gained the parlor when he asked the
lady's company for stroll. Ac-
cepting the invitation she left the
house, but had not proceeded half
block when the gentleman who had CON-
cocted the plot passed her and handed her
a heavy cowhide. Without word of warn
ing she suddenly commenced slashing her
insulter across the face with the whip, and
before he could realize the situation he was
streaming with blood, and had both eyes
nearly closed. His attempted apology only
drew forth more blows, and he finally took
to his heels. The lady appeared not the

aware of what was going on. Had the chas.

are making to ferret out the man, and if
successful further sensational developments

Jones answered, ssI'll give you q

brought out another gun, which, after
examining and finding it contained no car
fridge, he loaded from his own weapon.
AT this point testimony conflicts, some wit
nesses stating that Jarvis took the gun and
walked of short distance and then threw
it down. Others state that Jarvis refused
TO take the gun and it was thrown down by
Jones, who, walked away from Jarvis, the
latter following him up and saying he was

then raised his rifle and fred, the ball strik-

An Escaped Conviet's Game that Did Not
Materialize - An Alleged Conspiracy to
Rob the State Treasury Revealed by
Clutch Charley" in the Hope Of q Re-
ward for the Information.
JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, Sept. II.
On Saturday morning last State Treas.
sarer Chappell received call at his resi-
dence from stranger apparently about
fifty ears of age, who informed him that
the State Treasury was to be robbed at
noon on Tuesday, and that he was one Of a
party Of five who were to do the work.
However, he concluded it was too risky a
job and had determined to give the gang
away. The plans as detailed were to enter
the Treasury Department. at the time desig-
mated and capture and gag whoever hap
pened to be in the office at the time, and
then go through the vault and take the
money and bonds deposited there, after
which they would make their. escape la
Jesse James. Mr.. Chappen put his myste-
rious visitor through rigid cross exa NINA
tion, which developed the information that
the stranger was pretty thoroughly &C.
quainted with the workings of the Treasury
Department, as well as the number of men
who would probably be about the office and
building at the hour proposed for the rob-
berry. Mr.. Chappell told him that should
this affair turn out as he stated, he would be
well rewarded. This seemed to satisfy him,
and he took his departure, saying that the
robbers were all st. Louis men, and had no
idea that he would give them away. He
also promised to call on Mr.. Chappell at
eight o'clock Sunday night. This ended
the interview, and Mr.. Chappell went to
the Capitol and informed his clerk of what
had happened, and Notwithstanding the
story was discredited it was deemed wise
to take proper precautions. 1t now turns
out to have been nothing but the ruse of
"Dutch Charley" low-grade criminal of
the sneak-thief order, who put up the story
in the hope of inducing the State Treasurer
to pay him something by way Of reward
for the information. This Treasurer Chap
pell refused to do unless it should turn out
to be worth something. Dutch Charley rep
resented that he had recently been dis
charged from the Penitentiary, under the
three-fourths rule, when in fact he is an
escaped convict. He failed to keep his ap-
monument made with Treasurer Chappell,
which goes to confirm the opinion that he
told the story merely to make raise, par
ticularly as he was very solicitous about
funds to pay his hotel bills. He is we'll
known to the prison authorities here, and
they all pronounce him sneak-thief and
liar of the worst character.

Cloth Jackets.

The first 1mportations of jackets for
early autumn days show talor-made
garments of medium length-that is.
from twenty-four to twenty-six inches
of ottoman cloths very deliberately
braided. The fronts are single breasted,
with an officers standing collar, or they
may be double-breasted, with high
notched revers collar. In some cases
there is braiding in rows OR in a pattern
that covers the entire front of the jacket
Astrakhan cloths and the curled As
trakhan furs are very much used for
trimming winter jackets; these are put
on as the merest edging, or else in wide
bands that nearly cover the skirt of the
garment. Brown, gray, green, navy
blue, and black ale the colors most
largely imported. Gilt braids, silver
and bronze soutache are also mixed
with black or dark-colored braid in
their trimmings. and great deal of
Hercules braid an nch or more in width
is used for trimming cloth garments of
all kinds. The long pelisses which the
French call paletots are again imported
as cloth over-dresses to be worn with
skirts of silk or of velvet; these will
also be sufficiently heavy for winter
wraps when worn over the house dresses
with single skirt, no drapery, and
round waist that are to be used next
winter. These pelisses may be quite
plain, or with plaits in front and back.
are fastened to the waist only, and are
provided with velvet or satin ribbons
that are sewed in the side seams at the
smallest taper of the waist, and tied in
front or on one side, as is found to be
most becoming to the wearer. A velvet
collar, or else deeper shoulder cape of
either velvet or fur, trims the neck, and
there are cuffs OF the same. There are
also elaborate corded ornaments for the
shoulders and back of these coats, with
a rope-like cord and tassels around the
waist. Brown, black and gray cloths
are most usel for long pelisses, but
there are many striped ones, also block
checks and large dull plaids. Astrakhan
fur and braid trim those to be used in
midWinter. The comfortable Russian
circular is again imported in heavy
cloths, with a fur border and rows OF
fur and braid down the. back. This
garment has fitted back forms, and
closed piece in front, with holes for the
arms to pass out, and is ample enough
10 cover the wearer from throat to foot.
Black, gray and brown cloths are moss
used for these ayper's Bazaar. q

Flame.
!I LoNGy1Ew, Tex, Sept. II.
reign of terror prevails in every por-
aion Of the county, except, perhaps, Kilgore,
from which place there is no report. The
excitement is due to raid on whites sup
posed to be contemplated by negroes. The
white farmers have their wives and chill
dren in gin-houses, and are holding guard
over them. In some communities little
sleep has been had since Friday night, and
haggard faces with looks Of fear or stern
determination are seen everywhere, beto.
.kening the extremities produced by the
biood-cirdling reports brought on by each
new arrival. Hundreds of countrymen
were in Longview to-day, and on returning
to their homes carried all the arms and am
munition obtainable. In many cases when
the last weapon was called for number
would grab for it as though in desperation,
and strive to obtain it, as if their lives de-
pended upon it's possession, A new supply
of fifty Winchesters was among what was
taken by the countrymen. 1t is reported
that the negroes received by express at
Gladwater, the next station west, fifty
Winchesters, and that weapons are being
received by them all over the country.
Probably the whole trouble has arisen from
threats and speeches Of few. colored per-
sons Of bad repute, whose course is not
sanctioned and was not known by the mass
of negroes. There are indications that as
much fear has been excited among the lat
ter as among the whites. However this
may. be, people have been carried to such a
pitch Of excitement that it is certain that
should a white person be molested, one Of
the bloodiest tragedies will be enacted ever
known.

A NEW MEXICAN TRAGEDY.

Typical Episode of Far Western Life
The Bullet the Arbiter in the Settlement
of Personal Gricvances-Three Lives Less
Among the Ranchmen.
SoCoRRo, N. NJ, Sept 10.
One Of those terrible tragedies in West
ern life which occasionally occur took place
Monday evening on the Alamo ranch of the
Big Four Cattle Company, in the Galena
Mountains, about fifty miles west of Socor-
70, and an examination Of the parties took
place this morning before Justice Beall.
Joel Fowler, who killed three Rustlers
about year ago, started from his ranch
for COW hunt. He discovered that one of
his men, known as Pony, was brother Of
one of the men whom he had killed. He
discharged him. Pony came into Socorro
and with Butcher-knife Jill returned to
Fowler's ranch to kill him. Fowler was
riding to Alamo ranch with his men, and
when within twenty-yards Of the stone.
house saw Pony and Bill. Both OF them
drew revolvers. Bill fred at Fowler. The
latter drew his shotgun and killed Bill at
the first shot. Pony then ran back behind
the house, and fred five times at Fowler,
who had dismounted and ran toward him.
Pony escaped into the house and stood off
Fowler.
At this time MCGEE, who occupied the
house, rode up and learning of the trouble
told Pony to come out Of the house. AS he
received no answer, he thought that Pony
was dead, so he walked to the door and
kicked it open and put his head in to look
around. Pony shot him through the head,
killing him at once.
Fowler then proposed to Pony that he
come out and fight him alone with pistols,
or give himself up and be taken to Socorro.
Pony did not answer. The house was then
fred to drive him out, but rather than be
taken PONY killed himself by bullet
through the head. The intention was owl
IDENTIFY to kill Fowler, as both the men fired
at him at once. They had no other object
in going to the Alamo ranch. Pony had
said when he came to Socorro that he would
leave for Texas. The three bodies were
buried in the same grave. McGse was a
good man, respected by all who knew him.
Butcher-knife Bilps real name.is said to be
Childs. He was gambler and bore an ,un-
sayory reputation. Pony Forest had only
lately come from Fort Griffin, Tex, T.
