a Caboose Crushed In BY a COIlIsion-NO
One Greatly Hurt.
ASHLAND, Neb., Feb. 16.-J. B. Dyatt, a
stock man, was sitting in a chair in the
caboose of a freight train standing on the
track here about four O'Clock yesterday
morning, with his face turned toward the
rear of the car asleep, when he was sud
denly awakened by crash and opened
his eyes just in time to see the
headlight of a locomotive making
toward him through the back door.
Another moment and he found him
self jammed in among the fragments OF
the caboose with pieces of timber piled all
about him. The car had been telescoped
by an extra fast stock train. One man who
was asleep on one of the seats which ran
lengthwise of the car awoke to find him
self lying near the engine with the cush-
ion still under him and one end of it un-
der the drive wheel Another passenger
was thrown out on the ground with pieces
Of the wrecked car forming a shelter
on all sides. His nose bled few drops
but beyond this he was unhurt. The rest
of the passengers had similar narrow and
strange escapes. There were Just thirteen
men in the car when the'accident occurred
and not one of them was even seriously
bruised, although the car was broken al
most in splnters, the engine crushed into
a shapeless mass and several cars thrown
from the track and piled on top of each
other.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Feb. I6.-Trouble has
been threatened for the past few days in
Wayne County, and the local military
companies have been kept ready for SER
vice. Every year there is more or less of
an exodus OF negroes worked up by emil
grafton agents, and this causes serious
trouble to the farmers who depend upon
the negroes to pick their cotton and do
farm work. This year the number OF
negroes leaving has been greater than ever,
and the farmers have decided to stand the
emigration agents no longer. A telegram
from Wayne County last night brought the
news that nearly all the white citizens are
armed and fully determined 10 stop the
negro emigration.

Charge Against Justice Field.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 2S.-Thc United
States circuit court was oiicially informed
yesterday that the charge of murder against
Justice Field had been dismissed by the
Stockton court Judge Sawyer accordingly
dismissed the habeas corpus proceedings in
the case of Justice Field In doing SO he
said:
''We are glad that the prosecution of Mr..
Justice Field has been dismissed Founded
as it was upon the sole, reckless and, as to
him, manifestly false affidavit Of one whose
relation to matters leading to the tragedy,
and whose animosity toward the courts and
judges who have found it their duty to de-
eide against her, and especially toward Mr..
Justice Field, is part of the judicial and no
torious public history of the country, it was,
under the circumstances and upon the sole
affidavit produced, especially after the cor
oners inquest, SO far as Mr.. Justice Field is
concerned, shameless proceeding and, as
intimated by the governor of the common
wealth, if it had been further persevered in,
would have been a lasting disgrace to the
state"
The case of Deputy Marshal Nagle was
also taken up in the circuit court, and Judge
Sawyer announced that time would be set
for the taking of testimony and arguing the
law points in regard to the jurisdiction Of
the Federal court The counsel could not
agree upon the time for a hearing, and the
matter was postponed until today.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Assistant Secre-
tary Batcheller, of the treasury department,
was asked about the story that Wall street
spectators have bought up S20,00O,000 in
bonds, forming syndicate to force the Soc
retary of the treasury to buy at their price
to prevent stringency in the money mar
ket. 'All we know about it," said Mr..
Batcheller, sis that we are getting all the
bonds we want at our own figure If there
has been any such attempt as described it
has failed. We got 100000 of bonds Mon
day at 128, our own price, and already we
have offers of s2,00O,OOO more at the same
price. This is better than we have done be-
fore. We can get all the bonds we want at
our own price. There is no danger of a
stringency in the money market. There is
now an abundance of money. With $4,000,
900 day going into the banks, l imagine
no one expects a stringency."
