moment, SO nothing was thought of his
non-arrival. The carriages with the we'd

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

A Descent to Death on Cincinnati's Incline
Plane Railway-Nine Passengers Meet a
Terrible Fate.
CINCINNATI. Oct Is The most appall-
ing accident ever known on the inclined
p lane railways of this city happened yes
terday between twelve and one O'Clock.
1t was on the Mt Auburn inclined plane,
which lies at the head of Main street and
reaches to a height of between $50 and 800
feet in a space Of perhaps 9. 900 feet or less.
Nine persons were first reported killed.
Two cars are employ ed-one on each
track. They are drawn by two steel wire
cables that are wound upon a drum at the
top of the hill by an engine located there.
Nine passengers had entered the car at
the foot of the plane and number were
in the other car at the top. The passage
of the ascending car was all right until it
had reached the top, when, to his I'M
speakable horror, the engineer found that
the machinery would not respond and
that he could not stop the engine. Only
one result was possible.
The car was arrested by the strong
bumper. which stops its progress, and AZ
the engine continued all its force was ex-
pended on the two cables, and they
snapped like wrapping thread under its
enormous power. Then the car. with its
nine inmates locked within, began the
descent of that frightful slope. What
were the feelings and thoughts Of the fated
nine may hardly be imagined.
The crash at the foot of the plane was

the wreck from view for a moment, but
when it was dispelled the scene was hor-

of the truck on which the car rested was

top Of the car was lying almost as far in
the gutter. The truck itself and the floor
and seats of the car formed q shapeless

mangled bodies Of the nine passengers
Two were taken out dead. One, a mid

nized as Mrs. ives. A young girl Of

Mr.. Henry Kneiss, teacher. living at ii

JEFFrRsoS CRY, No, Oct 1s-The
State Baptist Association performed an
important work yesterday in ordering
that the Northern and Southern boards of
missions in Missouri be discontinued and
that q State board Of missions be created.
This eliminates one Of the relics of the
war. The Northern board Of missions and
the Southern board Of missions have each
regarded Missouri as free ground for the
prosecution OF their work. and collections
have been made by each from all the
Baptist congregations. Yesterday this
was done away with, and henceforth all
collections will be made by State board

THOSE RERATiNGS.
What the Government May Do 70 0es
Back Its Money.

What the Government May Do to 0ee
Rack Its Money.
WASHINGTON, Oct 16-It is learned taht
Secretary Mobiles decision in the rerated
pension case Of Senator Henderson, In
which. as indicated in the Senator'S letter
to the Secretary, it is held that his rerat.
ing was unlawful was arrived at some
weeks ago Though not made public) and
he established precedent which has since
been followed by the Department In q
number of similar cases.
Senator Henderson. it is said, has occu-
pied somewhat different position from .
majority of the pensioners rerated by
Commissioners Black and Tanner, and
particularly those who occupy official po-
sitions in the Pension Bureau. His case
was considered and an increased pension
allowed him without any application
on his part or in fact any knowl.
sidered with view to an in.
crease, until he had received his certifi.
cate from the Commissioner of Pensions.
Without drawing the arrearages that the
certificate, showed was due him. Senator
Henderson at once wrote to the Secretary
of the Interior inquiring whether the in
crease in his case was made in accord.
ance with law. The Secretary in response
forwarded to the Senator a copy OF de-
cision which he had just made in his case.
in which it was held, as before stated,
that while the Senator was wholly blame.
less in the matter, the rerating and in
crease were in direct violation Of law.
Thereupon Senator Henderson promptly
returned the certificate to the department
that it might be cancelled
Zone important difference" said an In.
terror Department official, "be tween Sem
ator Manderson's case and the ott err
cases, particularly those of the pension
officials, is that he first sought to ascer.
tain whether the rerating was lawful. and
having found it was illegal, promptly re.
turned the certificate without dra wing the
money. Another distinctive feature in
Senator Manderson's case is that he made
no application for rera ting. While this
is also true of some others S, ir is not true
of a large number. 1t is learned that
there are twenty-one Of the employees of
the Pension Office whose ratings have
beer increased. 1t is said that among the
first duties the new Commissioner will be
called upon to perform will be the recov-
cry Of all moneys illegally paid on pension
claims"
The Commissioner undo- htedly has the
right, and in those cases where the money
has been placed beyond the reach of the
law the Government can apply all future
pension payments to the liquidation Of
the debt So far. however, no attempt
has been made to recover any of the
money so unlawfully paid. A number of
the twenty one employees of the Pension
Office whose pensions were rerated and
increased have left the Government seI-
vice since this action was taken. A large
proportion OF the number, however, are
still in Office, and it. therefore, will be
comparatively easy to compel payment
by withholding both salary and pension
until the debt is cancelled.
