facilitate the removal 1t is more probable

is likely they would have first secured means
of transportation for their to-be-secured

PITTsBuRe, November 1S.-An accident
to the eastern express on the Pennsylva.
mia road in the yards of this city, this
evening, nearly resulted in terrible
holocaust; as it was, large number of
persons were injured, one of them fatally
and six others seriously. The train was
running about eight miles an hour when,
near Seventeenth street, the third car
left the rails and soon turned completely
over. Almost simultaneously with its
upsetting, FIRE broke out at both ends
and in the center of the car. Forty or
fifty eecond.class passengers were in the
car, and men trampled over. women and
fought each other in their eagerness to
escape cremation.
Fortunately a number of railway en-
ployees were close at hand, and the
flames were quickly extinguished. When
all the passengers were gotten out it was
found that nearly every one in the car
had been cut or bruised.
Joseph Bprcker was the cnly one
fatally injured, he having been pinned to
the floor by hot stove, and one side
being nearly burned to a crisp. Six
others, Mrs. Maggie McTighe, Mr.. and
Mrs. i. Fl. Williams, Conductor Haw-
kins and Brakeman Pendley, of Pitts
burg Robert LeFsvre and Fred Rice, of
Philadelphia, and Louis Hogard, of New
York, were seriously but not danger
ously hurt. Ali the others proceeded on
their journey. The accident is thought
to have been caused by the spreading of
the rails.

the fund in the depository banks had
been under consideration for some time,
and he fully recognized the necessity OF
calling in such a portion as could be
withdrawn from the banks without seri-
GUS inconvenience to the trade and COM
merce interests, as early AS practicable.
While he thoroughly disapproved OF the
policy of deposits in banks in excess of
the amounts required for the transaction
of the current public business, he fully
appreciated the Importance OF proceeding
in careful and conservative way in
making Withdrawals. The Secretary
said the Withdrawals, when made, will
be for the sole purpose of reinvestment
in United States bonds. He said, also,
the Government for many years past has
had on deposit with the banks through
which its current business is transacted, /,
from ten to twenty million dollars. and
be saw no good reason why this policy
should be changed.

The New Fast mail Pulling Through
as Per Schedule.
ELKo, New, November 1S.-The first
limited fast mail on the Union Pacific
reached here on time. Notwithstanding
the extraordinary fast schedule, the time
from Council Bluffs to Ogden was made
without any difficulty. The fact that this
fast time can be made is now no longer a
matter Of doubt, and that it will prove a
new era in railrosding is the opinion of
the best railroad authorities in the coun-
try. Thirteen tons of mail were placed
on board the limited at Omaha,
and notwithstanding the great amount
of mail matter it was thoroughly
worked up and ready for its distribution
before the Green River Junction was
reached, where the fast mail separates from
the California fast mail. Salt Lake and
Ogden people are now able to receive
their mail anywhere from eight to ten
honrs earlier, and instead of receiving Tin
the afternoon, as formerly, they will now
get it in the morning. There is every
indication that the train will arrive in
San Francisco on the designed moment.
HUMBOLDT, New, November 16.-The

AN IiIeraICOutr

New ORLEANS, November 1S.-The
State SuNeme Court today rendered q
decision in the case of the Texas and Pa
cifc versus the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, to enforce the specific per-
formance of certain stipulations of con.
tract made to sdj1st the differences ex-
listing between the Huntington and Gould
roads, and involving about half mil
lion dollars. The judgment of the lower
court in favor of defendant is affirmed,
and the opinion Gays: Plaintiffs suit is
on an illegal contract. All contracts
which have tendency to stifle COM
petition, to create or foster noncpolies
with a view to unreasonably increase the
values of commodities, as against the
public interests, can confer to the parties
thereto no rights which the courts of JUS
tice can recognize or enforce.
