COLUMBUS BUccIES

induced many manufacturers and dealers
throughout the country to try to initiate them

claim that their work is equal to the genuine

claims ourselves and know whereof we speak.
We have handled and repaired all of the differ

that would compare with the genuine COLUM-

are selling them, but we are selling them be-

SEVEN ARE INJURED.

A Disastrous Wreck ON The Illinois Gem
trail Caused by Carelessness.
CHICAGO. Aug. ia serious collision
occurred on the Illinois Central railroad
at South Lawn, nineteen miles away
about 7t45 this morning. The Illinois
Central train, bound for Chicago, was
struck by a freight and seven persons In
jured seriously. As soon as intelligence
of the disaster reached the city the mas
ter mechanic of the road started for the
scene of the accident with a wrecking
train. Master Berry sends the following
from the scene of the accident: John
Crous of Chicago is badly scalded and
may die. The others injured are O.. A..
Barry, colored, porter; Anderson Cobb;
Thomas Splane, baggage master; Mrs.
Splane, i. III. Sullivan, passengers; John
Frazier, passenger. No one fatally hurt
except Crols, whose condition is critical.
The injured Were attended by q physi-
clan from this city, and now are on the
way here on a relief train. When the
collision occurred both trains were run
ming about fifteen miles an hour. The
passenger train, composed of the mail,
express and baggage car, smoker, chair
car, and three sleepers, is a complete
wreck with the exception OF one sleeper.
The blame for the accident is attributed
to those In charge of the passenger train,
and they allege that the air brakes failed

What the Senate Will Do
A MEETING OF REPUBLICANS To
OUTLINE THE WORK.
THE FISHERIES TREATY.
A Vote ON Morgan's Motion to Postpone
Consideration of the Fisheries Treaty
Shows the Intention to Reject
the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.--A score of Re-
publican senators met at Senator Chand,
ler's house last night. THE principal
purpose of the meeting was to discuss
the order of business" said Senator ALI
son. eve determined what bills to con
slider in order, if possible, to hasten the
day of adjournment. We decided to get
rid of the fishery treaty first and then
take up the appropriation bills that are
unfinished, then the bill for the admis-
sion of the territories to the Union, and
various other measures. Incidentally we
the measure will be reported to the full
to the ~senate.n
"Will the bill be condenseds' asked
the representative of the United Press.
Eyes, | think So" the Senator replied.
81 do not know why we should do so.
No we did not even discuss any of the
details of the measure"
1t is understood hat great pressure
was brought to bear by the senatorial
opponents of any tariff measure to force
those fayoring a bill to agree to simply re-
port the bill to the senate and then adj
journ. There were distinct evidences
that the position of the senators who o.
few weeks ago were great In favor of the
passage of a bill by the senate has been
affected by the comment which has been
made in the interim, and by the efforts
made last night. AS a result of last
nights meeting a proposition win be
made to the Democratic senators as to
the order of business, and if possible,
suggestions about the tariff bill.

meet. Then they will roast me. In fact,
they want all the best of it. The truth
is, that my readiness to meet Kilrain has
interfered with their plans. The scheme
is for Sullivan and Kilrain to have
q big hippodrome fight like they
have been having over the pond, and to
travel the country on the strength of it.
If I challenge Kilrain he has got to
+ fight, or l am champion of the world,
just the way he claims the championship
over Sullivan. Fox is talking IF the
fight between US, if it comes off, being
bare knuckles, under London rules.
Now / don't want to get myself under
the ban OF The law. A champion, if he
is a champion, must defend his title I'M
der any rules that are recognized. Who
is this man Richard K Fox, that sets
himself up to override all precedent and
fix all rules and conditions to suit him
self? The championship belt he talks
about ! wouldn't give that for (snapping
his finger contemptuously). 1t doesn't
represent any championship. 1t has
never been fought for. What's the mat
ter with you fixing up a lite tin belt and
calling in the heavyweight championship
belt? 1t would amount to just as much
as Fox's belt. The fact is, Kilrain has
got to meet me in the ring or withdraw
all the claims he has to the champion.

A storm in Iowa.

Dies MONIES, Ia, Aug. 16.-Wednes-
day nights storm assumed the proper
tions of a water spout in several places
in central Iowa. Washouts occurred on
the Rock Islands Keokuk branch in
Mahaska county, so that trains could go
nc further south than Pella. There
were washouts on the main line also
near Colfax. Fifteen hundred feet are
washed out near Monroe. There was
also a large washout on the Diagonal,
the track being flooded in Warren ounty
by the Middle river. A freight engine
near Colfax went off the track and was
completely submerged in the water and
mud. In Jasper county houses were
flooded by the heavy rain. Oats are
nearly ruined by the storla in this vi
entity, and there will not be more than
one-third of a crop.
