WOE WHICH WAS WASTED
NONE KILLED WHERE DOZENS
WE'RE GIVEN UP AS DEAD.

A PennsyIvania Railroad Wreck in
which Twenty-Five Excursionists were
Injured Reported as a wholesale
Massacre and Hundreds of People
Thrown Into Hysterical Anguish in
Consequence.
PITTsBURG, PA, July 2O.-A special
from Canton, Ohio, says a point on
the Connoton Valley Railroad two miles
east Of here was last night the scene Of a
horrible wreck. The employees of Ault-
man & Co.'S. machine works held their
annual picnic at Cuyahoga Falls, and
over 1000 persons went on the ex-
cuTsiOn. There were two trains
Of fifteen cars EACH The first section
arrived at Canton on its return at : 30
O'Clock in the evening, and while hun
dreds Of fathers. brothers and sisters were
at the station waiting for friends and rela-
tives on the second section, a hatless mes
senger came running down the track. crv-
ing that the train had been wrecked and
many of the eXcursionists killed and
injured.
TERRIBLE ANGUISH.
The scene which followed was of the
widest description, and when the wreck
was reached men, women and children
ran around, wringing their hands and
looking for their loved ones. Nine cars
were of the track and in water feet
deep. The cries of the injured were
heartrending. Hundreds of willing hands
Immediately set to work, and it was found
that not more than % persons were in
Jured, but it was impossible to saw how
many were killed or who they were. A
dozen or more passengers are missing,
and may be under the cars, but nothing
dennlte can be known until a wrecking
train, which is now on its way to the
scene, arrives.
A telegraph office has been opened near
the wreck and everything is being done to
alleviate the suffering of the injured.
THE CAUSE OF THE WRECK.
The engineer says that the wreck was
caused by the track spreading. The en-
CINE went over all right, but the first car
jumped the track and eight others fol-
lowed. They were dragged a distance of
200 feet, throwing the occupants from one
side to the other, and finally jumped a
small embankment, landing in four feet of
water. The doors Of the cars were then
cut open and the people got out. Three
doctors are on the ground attending the
wounded, several of whom, they say,
will probably die.
NO LIVES LOST.
PITTsBURG, PA, July 20, 11:45 P. NJ
A special from Canton, o., says: ''The
track at the scene of last nights wreck
was cleared to-day, but three cars thrown
into mud have not yet been removed.
twenty-five persons were injured, but no
deaths have been reported, and the
wounded are doing better than could be
expected. No one was killed, and those
missing and supposed to be under the
wreck have turned up all right.

Gordon Safe vita 5000 Men at His
Back.

CAIRO, July 20.-The Mudlr of Dongola
telegraphs that he has received a dis
patch from Gen. Gordon, dated June %,
saying that KhartOum and Senaar were
safe; that Gen. Gordon had 5000 men un-
der his command, and asked that rein
fOrcements be sent to him.
Advices from AssOuan say that a re-
cOnnOissance was made to-day for a dis
tance of fifty miles, but no trace of the
enemy was seen. Several of Ell Mahdi's
emissaries have been arrested at Korosko.
Traders arriving there report that the
roads to Dongola and Wady Halfa are
safe.
The Mudir's telegram is believed to
have been sent with the purpose of hood
winking the authorities, and the increas-
ing belief here is that Gen. Gordon is in
the power of Ell Mahdi, and that Khar-
tOum has fallen.

A WOMAN'S WORK.
a Missionary Maiden and Her Temper
ance Tars,


ance Tars.
''Who are the best total abstainers?o
The blue-iackets in Her Majesty's service
are second to none, says Miss Weston,
who, ON July 1, gave an account of her
work among the sailors afloat and ashore
in the Egyptian Hall, Mansion House,
London. 1t is now nearly twenty years
since Miss Weston, single-handed, began
her labOrs. Her work has prospered. and
she speaks with cheerful, not to say en-
thuslastic, optimism about what is now a
world-encircling work. There are
twelve thousand sailors in Her Maiesty's
service who belong to the temper
ance society, and there is not a
single ship in which there are not some
workers among the sailors themselves.
High naval officers, such as those who
supported Miss Weston on the platform
yesterday, speak in terms of eulogy of
the results among the men taught and
trained by her. This lady is not content
with teaching and preaching, but gives
"Jack" material assistance in the form
Of ''sailors' rests''-hOmes where he can
put up when ashore. Five of these are
at present in existence in England. One
at Portsmouth, for which funds are
wanted, is being enlarged, and in every
part of the world similar institutions are
being established for sailors. These
''rests" once established are self
supporting, and, as Miss Weston
says, ''they ought to be self-support-
ing, for the sailor can pay and is willing
to pay" Besides this ''the sailors
friend" has many ways of reminding her
"boys" when abroad that she still cares
for them; they receive a monthly "blue-
baok,'' small monthly letter, in which
Miss Weston holds friendly converse with
them; 100000 copies of these were dis
tributed during the last year. The sailors
wives and friends also benefit by the
work. They are visited and befriended
while their sailors are afloat, and fisher
men also have word to say OF the kind
ness received from Miss Weston or lady
of her staff, tor the work has long out
grown the capacity of a single woman and
has become an organized society.

LONDON, July 20.-The Porte has sent
a circular note to the powers notifying
them of its assumption of postal service.
The note says that the existence of
foreign post offices in Turkey is an IN
fringement of the sovereign rights Of the
Sultan. The Porte insists upon the pre-
payment of letters with Ottoman stamps,
and the powers are invited to close their
respective offices. 1t is rumored' that the
Porte on Aug. l will surround
the foreign offices in Constantinople with
gendarmes to prevent the posting Of let
ters. The various Ambassadors to Turkey
have asked their respective governments
for orders in view of such a contingency.
The foreign Ambassadors here have held
an informal conference and have agreed
to act collectively in resisting the postal
change proposed by the Porte.

BOLD, BAD BEN.

Man Who was Anxious that the Devil
Shouldn't Make a Mistake.
Bold Ben Butler has been here, says
Washington letter, and has talked on two
successive days to the President. envy
the President, for the wicked old dema-
gogue Is very interesting talker, and his
story of the Chicago convention would be
highly entertaining. But the candidate of
three parties for the Presidency has not
been willing to talk to the newspaper
men, Internal or supernal, and the hotel
lobbies have reyeled in the luxury of in
Vulnerable contradictory reports about
what was said by the President and what
was said bv the Bad Ben in their CONVEX
sations. This speculation is all by the
by. Isn't it enough that Butler and the
President are old personal friends? Must
they be talking politics every time they
meet? 1 should say not. AS matter of
TACT Butler is here to see after his personal
interests and those of one of his clients He
has an office here, you know-a dIngy lit
tie one-story affair, back of his big Cape
Ann granite house, oppisite the capitol,
which was originally built for a stable.
Here, in carpetless room, scantily fur
nished, he ceases to be the trick mule of
politics, and becomes again the great law
yer that he is. He has very good law
practice here for a nonresident. He
likes Washington because he is less
bothered by politicians here than any
where else, and so he wears a pleasant
smile as he bObs along in hired hanson
looking at the red rosebud in his button
hole with his tired eye. while he looks az
you with the other. He is certainly noUa
beautiful, bpt he is brainy and bril-
liant, and gets a great deal of enjoy
ment out of lite. lie looks upon poll
ties as one huge joke, and so is able
to laugh when the game goes against him
quite as much as when it goes his way.
heard a good story about Butler the
other day which can just slip right IN
here. There is in Boston a well known
Republican whose face somewhat resem-
bles Buffers. Not long ago he was stand
ing in the POST office when a gentleman
approached with "Good-morning, Gene
ral." The Republican, who had never
been in the army, and who did not know
the man, remarked, with surprise: 81
think you have the advantage of me-"
''Fhat's so," said the other. ~ thought
you were Gen. Butler" "Well," said
the Republican, as he turned away, ~
only hope the devil won't make the same
mistake -

MAHoNE's LAST RESORT.
Virginia's New Election Law to be
Fought by the Little Boss.

Virginia's New Election Law to be
Fought by the Little Boss.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-To-morrow the
legal representatives of Senator Malone
will ask the Virginia Court of Appeals
for an injunction to prevent the de-
livery of the poll books to the county
officials for the purpose of carrying out
the redistricting scheme passed over the
Governors veto by the Legislature at its
last session. The ground of the applica-
tiOn will be that the bill was not passed
by the requisite twO-thirds majority of
the Legislature, the claim being that it
was passed by two-thirds of
what remained after some of
the Malone men had been
purged out. The point will therefore be
made that the bill is not a law. OF course
Mahone's object is to have the Congress
sional election held in the old districts,
wherein he thinks he can maintain his
present position.

Indians at CburcI,

Several ferocious looking and fantasti-
cally dressed Indians, belonging to the
'sWild West' exhibition, says the Phila-
delphia Record of July 10, attended the
First Baptist Church last night. One of
them, in his native tongue, gave his ex-
perience. He said:
There are two roads, a high and a low
one. and the high road is Travelled bv the
white men, and that is why they are sue
cessful. The low road is the Indian,s
and that is why that race is not success
ful.r
He was on the white mans road now.
he said. He worked and got pay for his
work just like white man, and he was
glad there were men who would hire In
dians and pay them for their work and
who got up schools among white men to
educate Indian children.

sNIUGGLED CHNAMEN

ChhhOb DO EACBb OuJ VI BllS country
We speak from positive knowledge,
says the Modesto, w. T., StTa0bucE, when
we say that the business of running
Chinese, both male and female. from Vic
toria, British Columbia, into the United
States is well organized business, as
much so as any legitimate branch of
trade. Chinese merchants in Portland,
Oregon, in Seattle and other Sound ports
in. Washington Territory, and Victoria,
British Columbia, furnish the cash, and
white men transact the business. 1t is a
matter of almost nightly occurrence,
the weather being very favorable,
for one or more small sailing crafts
to run past Port Townsend freighted with
Chinese taken on board at Victoria, Brit
ish Columbia. Since the restriction act
went into force, it is safe to say that thou
sands of Chinese have been smuggled into
this country from the port of Victoria
have stolen across the line from the
Canadian Pacific Railway. We are
amazed at the amount of ignorance dis
played by the press in regard to this
matter. That the Collector of Customs at
Port Townsend is aware that few Chi
namen have been smuggled in we believe
he admits, but he has no idea of the vast
extent of the traffic, and if he did know
he is powerless to prevent it. as he has
but teWNnen at his disposal. He no doubt
does al can with the limited means at
his COMMAND. 1t would require a force
of at least 500 men to effectually guard
our northern frontier line against those
Mongolian hordes. We could enter into
the details of the way this business is
carried on if space would permit. We
have no idea that it would do any good if
we did, so we will desist.
