A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

A Passenger Train Running Sixty Miles an
Hour Dashes Through n Bridge Into the
james Riyer-Miraculous Escape of All
the Passengers-Two Sieepers Submerged
i'm Ten Feet of water-A Brave Conduc-
tor.
LYNCHBURG, VA, June 30.
As the south. bound passenger train on
the Virginia Midland was nearing the
bridge over the James River yesterday
morning, when about two miles north
of Lynchburg, on a heavy down grade,
the engineer finding the speed of
the train too great shut off the
steam and applied the air-brakes.
To his surprise there was no dimlnution
of the trains speed, and he realized that
some defect had occurred in the brakes.
The rapid motion increased, and during
the run to the river, nearly two
miles, the train swept along at
the rate of more than mile a
minute. The passengers became alarmed,
but none were prepared for the thrilling
episode which was so soon to follow.
Upon reaching the bridge, the engine,
tender and baggage-car kept the track,
but the smoker swayed so that it struck
the Orders, throwing it from the
track and causing the cars follow
ing to do the same. The trucks of
the smoker tore the ties away fer
more than a hundred feet, and when
the sleepers reached the place they
went crashing through into the river. The
water into which the cars plunged was ten
feet deep, and the terrified passengers
Inn ika In
pound. Their stifled screams for aid were
pitiable, but there seemed little hope for
their rescue. Conductor VIM. King was
thrown from platform and had two ribs
broken, but realizing the peril of the pas
sengers he went promptly and bravely to
their aid. Procuring an axe, with one
or two other persons he swan
to the submerged cars and smashed
in the ventilators at the top of the
cars. BY this time the water had reached
that point, and the struggling passengers
were clinging to the upper berths and the
bel-rope to keep from drowning. The
screams of the women and children were
heartrending. One by one the half
drowned passengers were dragged
through the opening and helped ashore,
until all were gotten out safely.
Among the thrilling incidents was the
rescue of the child of Mrs. J. S. Farden.
The terrified mother, while in an upper
berth which was fast being
flooded with water, pushed up her
two months old baby through window
and held it there until it was saved,
all unmindful of her own danger. The
heroic woman was afterward rescued
herself. All the passengers were brought
here and cared for. Railroad men say
the escape was one of the most
remarkable ever recorded in the his
tory of railroad accidents.

THE TALE THE WELL TOLD.


Recovery of Mrs. Cooks Body at Mattoon.
nlinoise, Bearing Evidence of Horrible
Murder-rhe Coroner's Inquest and Yer.
diet,
NATION, ILL.,, June q.
After forty hours working of the steam
pumps the abandoned well supposed to
contain the body of the murdered Mrs.
Cook was drained to the bottom, when
previous suspicious were proved correct,
as The body of Mrs. Cook was found
weighted down with about 100 pounds
of iron. Examination showed
her throat cut from ear to ear
and heavy bruise on the head. Her
clothes were torn and body scratched by
graphing hooks. Fully 1000 people fol-
lowed the body to the City Hall, where
the inquest is now being held. The Jail
containing the alleged murderer is in the
same yard. There is some talk of lynch
they can control the crowd. The well
is to be searched for further bodies.
Some think that the we'll has been used
for a hiding place for other crimes than
this. A man named Frank Malone dis
appeared mysteriously from Gays, six
miles west of here about three
weeks ago, and his friends are
afraid he has been foully dealt with, as
there is no explanation why he should
go away. There was no trouble in his
business affairs or at his home.
The Coroner's Jury rendered a verdict
charging Daniel Cook with the murder of
his wife, Sarah Cook. Up to this hour
there have been no demonstrations of
mob law, although the police report that
this afternoon the coored miners,
before coming up from the coal mine,
took an oath to take Cook out of the Jail
before morning, not to lynch him, but to
rescue him from the clutches of the law.
He has been turned over to the County
Sheriff and will be taken to Charleston
Jail at enc O'Clock, where he will keep
company with WinkIeblack, the alleged
murderer of the Fleetwoods.

Results of Investigation by a Chicago
Citizens Committee of the Subject of
Food Adulteration-FraudE Everywhere.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. June ~.
A committee of the Citizens Associa-
ton appointed make an exhaustive
investigation of food adulteration, pub
lished its report to-day. The committee
says: "It may be too much, but it is not
greatly too much, to say that nearly
every manufactured article of food and
drink now in use, and many of the drugs
and compounds used as medicines, are
adulterated or sophisticated in greater
or less degree, and although in most, but
not all cases, the foreign ingredient is in
noxious in its character, the product is
fraud, because designed to supply the
place of a better article without the
knowledge of the purchaser" Further
on the report says: $50 far has the
manipulation of certain articles been
carried that in the butter trade,
for instance, the genuine article
cannot be procured from the or
binary merchants in the commodity
nor from private manufacturers except
Ut PllCo idl aoofc lIo proper Ndlues
The committee enumerates a long list OF
articles found to be adulterated, among
them the following: Dairy products are
adultered by the introduction of ami.
nal fat, tallow. neutral oils, lard, water
and salt. Coffee is frequently adulterated
with chicory, beans, dandelion or rye,
and when green is often treated with
coloring material known to be deleterous.
An imitation being made of dough is the
latest fraud in this commodity. Tho
essences we well know to be in many
cases frightful compounds. Lard is
adulterated by the Introduction of terra
alba, vegetable oils, and water. The re-
port closes with the recommendation of
the committee favoring a National law,
and advising the preparation of State
law to be submitted to the Legislature

Anattempt was made to wreck the west
bound passenger train on the Texas & st.

to shut the throttle and jump. The train
was thrown from the track, but no
serious damage was done. As the en-

to the bushes; he gave chase aud cap
tured him. The negro was taken on

DALLAS, TEX, June 2S.
The fifteenth annual reunion of Hoods
Texas Brigade was held in this city yes
terday. Several thousand ex-soldiers
participated. The President in an open
ing address invited all soldiers of the
Mexican wars and Federal army to

that General Hoods children were getting
a.oug all right. The two eldest sons
are at school in Germany. The other
children are in good hands in the North,
but in an address to the association,
alter vacating the chair, Major Martin
demanded that Hoods children, who were
committed to the care of the brigade, be
educated, not in Europe or in the North,
hut in Texas. This sentiment was
heartily applauded. Judge Aldridge,

In the western part of the State terri

damage. All travel to Asheville and
Warm Spring is suspended owing to the
washout of two big trestles and cavlng in
of portions of the Western & North Caro-

are badly injured, and in many instances
whole fields, comprising dozens of acres,
are destroyed. Sheaves of wheat and
oats were carried away by the swollen

Fifth-The Appropriation Bills, as Usual,
Sadly Behind-Democratic Presidential
Forecastings--A Bayard-lIcD Donald Boom.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 30.
This week promises to be the last
one of the present session of Congress,
and the members are getting ready to
leave as soon as the gayels of the pre-.
siding officers OF the two houses fall
on the day of adjournment. In fact
many have left in anticipation of adj
journment not later than Saturday.
But while adjournment within the
next six days is altogether proba-
BILE, no resolution to that effect has
been adopted. Seven months have
passed since Congress assembled, and to-
day closes the fiscal year. Up to this
date only four of the fourteen general APP
preparation bills have been passed, viz:
Military Academy, agricultural, District
of Columbia and pensions. The legs-
lative, consular and diplomatic bills have
been sent to conference, but no meeting
has been held on either. The naval APP
AGREE TO DISAGREE,
and with the wide disagreement between
the two Houses the only way out appears
to be to extend the appropriations of last
year, to apply to the current year. The
dost-otiice aud army bills have been prac-
tically agreed to. The conference on the
Indian bill is having a good deal OF
trouble, but will agree. The fate of the

owing to the seven by eight split in the
House Appropriations Committee. The
subcommittee, consisting OF one Repub-
hcan and two Democrats, supported by
the other Republicans, and making ma
lority of the committee, are opposed by
the other Democrats, who propose SUBJ
stltute cutting down the bill from three
millions to S500,000 The bill Will be
taken up to-day, and it will be in the
power of either faction to prevent action
by refraining from voting, line of tao.
tics not so likely to be adopted now, as
earlier in the session.
WORK IN THE SENATE.
The river and harbor bill will be the
important measure in the Senate to-day.
There are about seventy pages in the bill.
Thirty of them were read in committee
OF the whole on Saturday, Senators on
Doth sides have amendments to offer in
favor of Improvements in their States.
Some OF these propositions may lead to
debate and delay the passage OF the bill
until Tuesday. Mr.. Mcmillan, who has
charge of the measure, intends to move
for tlye-minute limit to debate on the
amendment. This will cut off discus
sion, and, If Senator'S really desire to get
away at the end of the week, will hurry
the bill through.
The sundry civil bill Will probably be
reported to-day. Some important amend
ments have been proposed to it, which
will evoke severe criticism and debate,
but here again the tive-minute rule may
be used as "A guillotine for the redundancy
and to facilitate the passage OF the bill.
Outside of the appropriation bills, the
other business will be in the nature OF 4
scramble. The bill to forfeit the un-
earned lands granted TO the Atlantic <
Pacific has the right of way. In ordinary
