Fatal Train Wreck in New York

Fatal Train Wreck in New York.
The first section of the st. Louis ex-
press was run into near Palestine bridge
Palestine, N. Y, by the second section
and the rear cars telescoped. Of the many
injured five are dead.
The engine of the first section of the train
broke her cylinder at the head when about
two miles east of Palatine bridge and
stopped. The second section of the same
train, composed of one baggage car and
six sleepers, ran into the first section. The
Michigan Central private car had it's rear
end crushed in. In this car was the presi-
dent of the Michigan Central railroad, II.
u. Ledyard. He escaped uninjured. NJ.
=. ingalls, was IN the private car third
from the rear. He escaped unhurt, but
Mrs. Ingalls, received slight injuries about
the limbs. The porter of the car which
MIR. and Mrs. ingalls, occupied was killed.
-Four persons in the Buffalo sleeper were
killed. At least dozen other people, in
Guiding the engineer of the second section,
were seriously injured. Between the flag
sent back by the first section and the sec
ond part of the train, there was not room
enough for stop.
A Small Pox Scare for Chicago.
An outbreak of the small pox, which may
prove quite serious, has been reported to
the Lake View health Office at Chicago.
The patient is John Welter, aged II, the
son of wealthy parents. The Welter
family has just returned from Luxembourg
via Havre, where on the l4th inst. small
pox being reported, young Welter was
vaccinated. The family sailed on the
steamer Gascogne and landed at New York
September q. Next day. the family hav-
ing passed quarantine, started west on the
Delaware and Lackawanna train, when a
breaking out was noticed on young Wei
ter. 1t was thought then that it was case
OF measles. At Buffalo they changed and
took the Michigan Central train and ar
rived III Chi ago on the 25th inst. The
same day the boy was taken to his home
IN the northern limits of the city, aud the
physician who was called in concluded he
had small pox. Alllthe school children in
the vicinity are being vaccinated to-day.
There is no doubt that hundreds of per-
sons between New York and Chicago have

Transportation Must be Furnished.


In the federal court in Council Bluffs
Judge Love has rendered an important de-
cision regarding the rights of railroads and
corporations in suspending any anprofta-
BILE part of their business, in he case of
the United States Trust company VS.. the
Wabash railroad. wherein the former APP
piled to the court for an order on the
Wabash receiver. Operations were sus-
pended on that part of the road known us
the Clarinda branch, extending from Rose
bury, Mo-, to Clarinda, on the ground
that the receipts were not sufficient to pay
expenses. The grounds on which the
order was refused was that the company
has no right to deprive the grantors the
transportation pledged, and referred the
matter for further consideration to the
board of railway commissioners.

Bread
Without Yeast.

1t is a well-known fact that bread
made with yeast; if eaten before it
becomes stale, frequently ferments
again in the stomach, producing indi-
gestion. Bread raised with Royal,
Baking Powder, instead of yeast, is
entirely without this defect, and is one
of the most effectual preventives OF
indigestion or dyspepsia.
In bread made with Royal Baking
Powder the saccharine properties Of
the -four are preserved, and the bread
is made more nutritious. The destruc-
ton of -four caused by the production
of the leavening gas when yeast is
used is estimated at ten per cent. Ten
per cent. more bread is baked there
fore with the Royal Baking Powder
from the same quantity of -four.
The Royal Baking Powder will also
make sweet, white bread from an in
ferior quality of -four. Thus, much
flour that although possessing all the
hutritive qualities is dark in color, and
therefore cheaper, can be utilized and
turned into perfectly sweet and whole
some bread.
Bread made with Royal Baking
Powder does not require mixing over
night, but may be prepared ready for
the oven in few minutes, an advantage
that will be readily appreciated byevery
housekeeper. Being so quickly and
easily made it can be had fresh daily.
Families that have become familiar
with bread made in this way are loud
in its praise and will not use bread
made from yeast.
The best receipts, for making all
kinds of bread without yeast, will be
mailed free, upon request, to any one
not familiar with the methods. Ad-
dress the Royal Baking Powder Com
