A Runaway Freight Train Plays
Havoc.


ST. LOUIS, Feb. 8.-A freight train,.
consisting of sixty-two cars heavily
laden, while running up Poplar
street, from the river this morning,
separated in the middle, and immedl-
ately the rear portion of the train
started back down grade. The brake
men did all in their rover to arrest
the progress of the runaway cars, but
their efforts were unavailing, and in
order to save their lives abandoned the
train to its fate, each foot of its back
ward course increased the speed, and
almost Immediately several Of the cars
began swaying from side to side, and
soon several jumped the track, but
still kept on in their downward course,
crashing into the houses, which line
the streets and leaving destruction in
their wake; one Of the cars became de-
tached, however, and this arrested the
progress Of those behind It; the Others
continued in their mad course, some
off the track and some on, until they
were toppled over into the river.
Several houses on Poplar street, from
Fifth street, where the two portions
of the train became separated to Sec
ond street were damaged and almost
every house from thence to the river
was badly wrecked. The debris Of the
wrecked cars and houses now strew
the track, which will require several
hours to remove. Loss can scarcely
be estimated ut present on account Of
the confusion, but conservatives place
it at about $4,000.

A Decision In Regard to the Use of
Thousand Mile Tickets.

A Decision In Regard to the Use of
Thousand Mile Tickets.
New YoRK, Feb. l0.-A special
from Hartford, Conn, says: Judge
Saipman, in the United States court,
made an important decision yesterday
in a case involving the use of the So
called thousand mile ticket books of
railroads. The decision applies not
only to this case, where Frank II.
Whitelsey sued the New York & New
England railroad, but to other rail
roads where full mile rate is charged
for fractions of a mile. Whitelsey
started from Providence to Hartford,
and because of change of conductors
at Willimantic, Conn, was not per-
mitted to make through payment.
The result was that the second conduc-
tor, acting under rules of the road, de-
manded one coupon more than the
number which added to these Whitelsey
already surrendered, would have paid
the through rate from Providence to
Hartford. Whitelsey refusing pay
ment of this extra coupon, was ar
rested on reaching Hartford, and
charged with evading fare. The case
was not pressed by the company, and
he then brought suit for $4,000 dam
ages. Judge Shipman yesterday award
ed $25 damages and an equal amount
for cost, and says that Whltelsey had a
fair claim of right in legal position,
which he maintained in refusing to
surrender the extra coupon,

The stock market has been irregular and
feverish throughout most OF the day. but
generally weak in the forenoon and stronger
Thereafter. There was heavy selling by Lon
don carly in the morning Of grangers, Van
derbtts, Reading and Erie. This was sup
the Bank OF England rate, and some fear that
IL might go higher. The money market
worked considerably easier to-day, rates
falling TO per cent. at the close. Increased
engagements Of gold from the other side also
gave the bulls here renewed courage, and
they bought stocks in a spasmodic manner
whenever the selling pressure was removed.
In the afternoon a much better feeling was
apparent, and toward the last hour the up
ward movement assumed larger proportions,
the best figures being generally reached TO-
ward the close. Reading was the great
favorite, and was conspicuously weak until
toward noon. There were many rumors
anoat, but the story OF opposition TO the plan
BY certain security holders OF the road
seemed to have the most eject. There was
considerable liquidation throughout the list,
but II was generally neutralized by the good
buying of the Afternoon. Some encourage
