An Ontario Railroad Disaster.

The st. Louis express passing east-bound.
went through the bridge just east of St
George, Ontario. broken tire on the en-,
CINE caused the rails to spread and the first
passenger car, the Pullman car and dining
car went through the middle section OF the
bridge. The Pullman, car, containing the
most passengers, was thrown clear off the
bridge. turning completely over and lighting
right side up The dining car stands on and
against a pier and the passenger car remains
on the bridge, having stripped the ties ahead
of it over the section that collapsed.
The train consisted OF five coaches, baggage,
passenger, smoking, Pullman and dining
cars. The engine, tender and smoking car
crossed the bridge in safety, but just as the
passenger coach was near the center OF the
bridge the terrible affair occurred. The fire.
man, Harry Angle, noticed that all was not
right, jumped and was killed. The passenger
car went over the bridge, turning a somer-
manned on the bridge The dining car con-
tanned about seven people besides the walters.
Supper had just been announced, and in a
few minutes the car would have been filled
and all must have persisted.
The scene of the wreck is appalling. On one
part of the bridge are a numbes of the ties
heaped together. some of them splintered to
atoms. A partially demolished Pullman car
occupies a place on the bridge. The dining
car stands almost perpendicularly upon its
end. The upper end leans against one of the
vast stone piers. The hind wheels of the car
became detached from itjust before it took
its fearful leap and they now nestle in the
iron frame work of the bridge. The first
class coach took a complete somersault in
it's descent and though it landed right side
up, is very nearly demolished. A heap OF
debris lies at the foot of one of the piers and
a strange conglomeration it is of car wheels,
stoves and other railway attachments En-
gineer Brown remained at his post and
passed over in safety. Nine persons were
killed and large number wounded

GLOUCESTER, Mass, March 14.-Reports
from New Foundland say the issue OF
licenses to American vessels for purchase
of bait and other necessary outfit will be
refused this season and the government
will coincide with the dominion govern
ment in policy. The reason alleged is that
American vessels last season violated the
licenses given them and the bait purchased
in New Foundland was sold to the French
at St. Pierre. Fishermen recently returned
from Fortune and Placentia bays say that
cutters are already patrolling the coast
and every port is strictly guarded so that
no violation of the bait act can be accom-
plished. Cargoes can be purchased for ex-
port under s., 1000 bond that they are to be
landed in American ports, receipt from the
consignee through the British consul being
also required.

THE BIGGEST ON RECORD.
A Consolidation of Iron and Steel Works in
Chicago.

PHILADELPHIA, March ia special to
the Inquirer from Chicago says
1.-THE most important deal in trade ever
made in Chicago was announced to-day in
the consolidation of the North Chicago
Rolling Mill company and the Joliet Steel
company and the Union Steel company.
Negotiations to this end have
been going on for two months and Will
be practically concluded next week.
The news has been kept very quiet and
only leaked out through trade circles. The
name of the company has not yet been de
cided on, but the name will be an entirely
new one.
The capital will be $4,000, 600, of which
between so, 000. 900 and S6O,OOO,OOO Will be
issued for cash now in the treasures Of the
respective companies and the balance VIII

agreed upon. Their consolidation com

this country and will probably rank second

turned out at nine mill, or at least so much
of it that the other concerns figure for very
little There is only one west OF Chicago,
the Colorado Coal and Iron cOmpany's mill
at South Pueblo, and that is not of much
account.
In the consolidation of the three Chicago
concerns local competition will be de
stroyed, and better price realized for rails.
Already the plans are being formed to Sc
cure to the utmost advantage of the union
and have been dividing work up among the
mills of every department to the best ad-
vantage.
The reduction of expenses in other direc-
lions will be estimated and the cost of pro
ducing rails will be cut down 81 as
the combine manufacture one-third of the
total output of country and can turn
out 500, 900 tons year without much diff
Guilty, besides 10000 tons of other steel
material.
This saving is of great Importance to
stockholders. Inventories of plants and
assets of the three concerns are now being
made. Two iron furnaces of the North
Chicago mills at Milwaukee, which
have capacity of $4,000 tons
year are included in the deal

E.LeaYe Them With Me-

Especial to THIS HRRALD-Examiner Dispatchl
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Senator Stan
ford relates an incident in connection with
the filing of Editor Osborne's application
for the office of public printer which he re-
CARDS as favorable to the prospects OF the
California claimant. Holding the various
papers in his hand he said
''Shall leave these on your desk, Mr..
President, or shall 1 give them to your
private secretary"
General Harrison replied, Leave them
with me, 1 wish to examine them per-
sonally."
Senator Stanford argues from this that
Mr.. Osborne is beinguseriously considered
for the place, and the fact that the president
wishes to examine the papers personally
is an evidence that he proposes making no
mistake in the event that he bestoWs the
office upon the Los Angeles man.

California Rallying.

TSpecialto THE HERALD-ExaminerD Dispatch
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE members of
the California delegation held meeting at
Senator Stanford's house to consider whom
they would recommend for the various
official offices in San Francisco and the
State.
AS result of the conference, list was
prepared which will be presented to Presi-
dent Harrison on Monday next. 1t was de
cided not to make public the names on the
list inasmuch as it will be subject to more
or less revision during the interim, and IN
view of that fact premature publication
at this time would be very embarrassing:
Senator Stanford said this evening that
the names would be given out for pubhca-
zion on Sunday next, and any information
purporting to cover the results of the meet
ing would at the best be but Il bit of shrewd
guess work

Quiet Sneak.


Quiet Sneak.
CHICAGO, March 14-William H. Davis,
well known builder and real estate dealer,
was arrested to-day charged with victimiz-
ing President Tollman, of the Chicago
Trust and Savings bank. The forgery was
the specification, but it is the purpose to
hold Davis in addition for the extensive
series Of offenses, such as selling to each OF
number of people the same piece Of prop
erty.
The prisoner quickly gave bail on the
forgery charge and disappeared from the
Justices office before it was realized that
additional warrants were necessary.
Tonight it would appear that besides the
plumber of the alleged crimes he has made
away with all his real estate holdings.
Where the money has gone to is mystery.
Davis has been in the real estate business
in Chicago for ten years and has hand
some residence on the west side.
The amount fraudently secured by Davis
in dealing with Banker Tollman is said to
be about $4,000 The extent of his illgotten
gains from others is not known, but IS
estimated to be large.

MI CARMEL, Pa, March 4.-Intense ex-
element prevails at the Black Diamond
colliery where by the running of the pill
lars six miners have been closed in. The
working men are driving ahead for the
purpose of liberating their imprisoned
companions, but several hours must elapse
before it can be ascertained whether they
are alive.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon the laborers
heard a faint sound of voices. Two hours
later they were enabled to hold a converse
ton with two of the men who said they
were safe. A mass of ragged top of the
roof is towering over their heads,
however and may fall at any moment. The
other four men are cut off from the first
two and their fate remains unknown. At
late hour tonight the work of resculng
hem was going on as fast as possible.

BROWN KNOCKED COLD.
Mitchell Wins the Championship of the Pacific
Coast.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-the Mitchell
Brown fight for $500 and the lightweight
championship of the Pacific coast, last
night, was won by Mitchell, as stated in
in these dispatches late last night. Briefly,
a description of the fight follows:
Mitchell got first blood in the second
round, and had slightly the best of it up to
the eleventh round, although no material
advantage.
In the eleventh round Brown caught Mitch
ell under the chin with his left, lifting
him off his feet. Mitchell did good deal OF
rushing, pounding Brown all over the ring:
In the fifteenth round Brown showed
anger, and rushing in frantically, threw
Mitchell heavily. Smuggling was in order,
Brown getting the worst of it.
In the eighteenth round he hit Mitchell a
stunning blow in the mouth, but got two in
return.
In the twentieth round time was called
Just in time to save Brown from being
knocked out He was very groggy.
In the next round Mitchell had every
thing his own way, knocking Brown down
repeatedly, and finally delivered terrific
right-hander on the jaw, which knocked
Brown out Mitchell finished fresh and
without a scratch.

WE NEED THEM ALL.
The Early Part of the Senate Pro-

TRYING HARD TO BE FRIENDLY,
And while you are at it Count in Mexico and
Cuba = Nominations and Con-
formations.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-For some min
utes after the reading of yesterday S journal
the Senate sat without any business being
brought before it. Then motion was
made by Senator Edmunds, and agreed to,
that when adjournment takes place to-day,
it will be till Monday. That arrangement
having been made the Senate proceeded to
the consideration of executive business.
At o'clock the Senate was still in exc
cutiye session and took recess until 3
o'clock.
In the interval the Republican Senators
are in caucus, it is supposed, upon the.ques'
of considering legislation at this session.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
While the Senate was sitting with closed
doors the Gibson's resolution for the APP
pointment of a committee on relations OF
the United States with Mexico and Central
America was taken up.
Senator Hale said if there were any just
ground for the formation of like com
mittee on relations for Canada the grounds
we're surely as strong and as imperative IN
i, yard to Mexico.
1t was of the utmosG Importance that peo-
pie of Mexico should cease to cherish
jealousy of the people of the United States
or the sentiments which grew out of the
Mexican war. Friends of Mexico were
needed to uphold the doctrine and 1t was
important to cultivate friendly relations IN
order to develop American trade.
FRANCE AHEAD OF Us.
At present France alone sent into Mexico
double the value of goods the United States
| is sending.
! Senator Morrill, hoped that if the matter
were considered at all, it would be by a
committee on commerce or finance.
| Senator Platt, while recognizing fully the
| Importance of cultivating friendly relations
of a commercial character with Mexico and
South American states, agreed with Nor
rill.
Senator Reagan spoke vigorously in favor
of the resolution.
Senator Call favored the adoption Of the
resolution and opposed the motion OF refer
ence. He also advocated indirectly his own
resolution proposing like select committee
| for Cuba and the West Indies.
THE ANNEXATION OF CUBA.
He had recently had various letters show
inc the public attention being generally
directed to the subject of annexation Tor
the aouisition of the island of Cuba. If it
was important to ascertain the commercial
relation between Canada and the United
States, it was certainly equally important
to ascertain them in regard to Cuba. Sen
ator Hall objected to further consideration
of the subject in executive session and the
Senate adjourned till Monday.

The Pacific Road Troubles Settled.

ST. PAUL, March 13.-President Cakes,
of the Northern Pacific, in an interview
with Representative of the Associated
Press to-day said the dispute between the
Union Pacific and the Northern Pacific in
jefferson Canyon, Montana, regarding
which there had been several rumors of
serious trouble between the employees of
the two roads had been amicably
settled. The Northern Pacific buys the
old grade of the Union Pacific, the latter
being allowed, when it so desires, to use the
