FRANKFORT, IND. June 2S. Undoubtedly
sne of the greatest and probably the
strangest wonders in the way of human
birth now in existence occurred Tuesday
night. The parents OF this curious freak
Of nature are Mr.. and Mrs. Jones, who
live about five miles north of Kempton,
in Upton County. The monstrosity,
for such it is, and q wonderful one, too,
consists OF single, continuous BODY,
on each end of which is well formed
head. 1t is provided with four arms
and four legs which are also well formed
and about the normal size and shape.
The arms are located at the proper
place and on natural shoulders, one pair
at each end of the long body, but the
lower limbs protrude outward from each
side at the middle of the elongated be-
ing. The two heads face the same way,
and the legs are so attached as to extend
at right angles from the middle of the
sides of the body. There is but one um-
bilious, that being on the anterior surface
and middle of the body, showing that the
entire form has been nourished through
one and the same cord during the en-
tire period of embryonic life. There
is duplicity in so far as there are two
heads. two pair of limbs, two sets of genl-
tai organs and that the voluntary move
ments of the two portions are not in
conformity. On the other hand, there
was but one umbilical cord, and the
junction of tho two halves presents no
line of original separation to prove that
the being has been joined together from
the start. One half of the creature may
be sleeping while the other is awake,
and at such times it is noticed that
one leg on each side conforms to the
other voluntary movements OF tho
end OF the body nearest to them,
or. in other words, the two legs on the
same side of the body are not controlled
by one half. The entire length of the
body from head to head is about two
feet, and the weight of the creature is
twelve pounds, figures which show ample
size and weight for two healthy chill
dren. Up to the present writing tho
babe or babes is or are enjoying good
health, and the mother, Il small-sized
woman, is doing very well. The sex

the new vessels have already been given
out for bids, which will be opened by
Secretary Tracy on August D. These

FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE,
And Thirty-One Cars are Piled in
Heap.
Probably Thirty Lives Lost Either by
Crushing or Burning-Hardiy Ono
OF tho Trains' Crews Left to
Tell tho Tale.

PTTTsBURGu, June 27.-A triple collis-
ion of freight trains occurred near La
trobe, Pa, forty miles east of this city,
on the Pennsylvania railroad yesterday
morning. Freight train No. sos west
bound, left Latrobe, and had just reach
ed the bridge about fifty yards west OF
that place, when it collided with extra
train No. 1913, coming in the opposite
direction. Another east-bound freight
was standing on u side-track
on the bridge, and the wrecked
trains crashed against it, causing one
locomotive and a number of cars to so
over the embankment into the creek n
distance of fifty feet. Engineer Cald-
well and his fireman were supposed to-
have been killed instantly. Their bed
les are still in the creek. Brakeman
Miller was terribly crushed. He is still
living, but will die. Thirty-one cars
went down over the bridge and are piled
one upon the other in the water. The
conductor of the freight train states that
in all probability thirty or forty men
are still under the wreck, as he put oil at
Derry Station about forty-tive men. who
were coming from Johnstown. lie states
that when he moved out a great many OF
them got on again, and in that case 1t is
more than likely that the killed Will
reach the number stated. a carload OF
lime in the center of the train was the
last to 30 down. and it was scattered
over the pile of shattered cars. Then
the debris took fire, and, notwithstand-
ing the efforts of the people to put out
the flame, it is still burning. Arms and
| legs of the victims can be seen protrud-
ing from the debris. No member of the
crew remains to tell of those who went
down. The debris of the wreck is being
rapidly cleared away. Up to o'clock
last night ten dead bodies had been re-
covered. The loss to the railroad COM
pany. it is said, will reach 100000.

LANCASTER, Pa, June 27.-General
Simon Cameron died at o'clock last
evening. The Generals S condition dur
ing the day was rather encouraging and
death came suddenly during a weak
spell. Up to the last attack he was con-
scious and had no trouble to swallow
the food given him, and which he ap-
peared to assimilate. Around the death
lei were eX-Attorney-General Mac
Veagh and wife, Mrs. Haldeman, James
Cameron. Simon b. Cameron and wife and
Mrs. David Watts, granddaughter. The
funeral will be held in Harrisburg. The
Generals general condition. while very
weak, was such that the doctors had
hopes that his life might be prolonged
until the return of Senator Don Cam
eron, who cabled that he would sail
from Liverpool to-day.

GALLAT1N, Tenn, June 27-.A bad
wreck occurred at Bledsoe, on the Chesa-
peake and Nashville railroad, in which
thirteen persons were badly hurt. Tho
train was due at Gallatin at 10 clock a..
M, and was speeding away at a moder-
ate pace. The engine and several box
cars had passed safely over the trestle
when the mail coach's front trucks
jumped the track. Mail Agent Henry
Peacock and Conductor e. Il. Buck
jumped and escaped unhurt The
baggage and passenger coaches, with
fourteen persons inside. fell off an en-
bankment sixty feet high, and in going
down turned over three times, piling
children, women, men. seats, etc. all in
a heap. All were injured except ono
man. None of the trainmen we're hurt.
Three persons were so seriously hurt il
is thought they will die.

Illinois Oats and Rye.

SPRINGFIELD, LII, June 27.-Tho
State Board of Agriculture estimates
that there will be 127, 900, 900 bushels of
oats harvested in Illinois this year and
over 4,072, 900 bushels of rye, The
growing crops were injured by drought
in April and May to an extent which
could not be overcome by the subsequent
rains, and the condition is only within
ninety-three per cent of an average for
the State. An average yield of oats is
estimated at thirty-three bushels to tho
acre on an area of 3, $50, 900 acres.

Deaths May Reach Forty Five.

LATRoBE, Pa, June 2S.-The loss of
life at the Latrobe freight wreck, will
be probably larger than was first re-
ported. and the death list may reach
forty-tive. Engine 1913, which was sup
posed to be lying at the bottom of the
Loyalhanna river, was found resting on
a box car, which was supposed to have
contained ten or twelve tramps, and it
is probable that number of bodies will
be found when the car is taken out.

ROTTEN TRESTLE.

Maiming Number of Passcngcrs-'
ErightfuI Horror the Ohio ana
Northwestern Railroad.

CINCINNATI, June 29.-A terrible acci-
dent occurred on the Ohio and Northwest
ern road, at Duck Creek trestle, twenty
two miles from this city, at 5:25 last
evening, by the giving way of the
trestle, and a portion of n passenger
train was wrecked. A. number of passen-
gers were seriously, il not fatally in
iured while two coaches were badly
wrecked. The place where the accident
occurred was at q small trestle crossing
Duck Creek, about mile distant from
Batavia. The train was on its way to
this city, and carried quite large num-
Der of passengers. The train was started
from Portsmouth and when il left
Batavia it was two minutes bohind
time. The train was running at the
rate of about twenty-five miles an
hour when it moved out upon the tres
tie above referred to. A small portion
of the wooden structure was crossed,
when the engineer felt 1t giving way,
and in an instant he pulled the throttle
wide open, and the train shot forward
with redoubled speed. His prompt ac-
ton doubtless saved the lives of many,
for had the train fallen with the trestle
into the swollen stream there would
have been a terrible loss of life. The
iarring caused by the renewed speed of
the train fastened the fall of the struct-
ure. and the ladies' coach and the
private coach went down with
it as the opposite bank was reached.
The engine, baggage car and the
smoker passed over in safety, but the
latter coach jumped the tracks as it
passed off the trestle. No one in this
car was injured The trestle is about
sixty feet in length. and is from fifteen
to eighteen feet in height. About two
thirds of it went down with the wreck.
Following is the list of injured: Samuel

LA CROSSE, WIS., June 2s.-A burglar
entered the house of John Webber last
night through window in room oc-
cupied by his two daughters, Kate and
Lena. The girls were awakened while the
robber was searching their clothing.
Lena, the younger sister, aged IS years,
attempted to escape. She stumbled
and fell, and before she could arise
she was seized by the burglar, who
plunged a knife into her body below the
tenth rib. The knife was pulled upward
and deep cash about nine inches long
was cut, leaving exposed the heart, the
lungs and intestines. The assassin then
went to the bed and made thrust at
the other girl, who managed, however,
to evade the knife. The family was
aroused by the noise, but the burglar
escaped from the house.

SAVANNAH, GA, July 1.-Campbell,
the white man who claims to be the

day by commission of lunacy EN-
Congressman T. NJ. Norwood questioned
the impostor to enable the jury to arrive
at decision as to the mans mental
condition. A crowd estimated at LOO
had assembled from every part of Lib
crty County to witness the examination
Very few, though, were permitted TO
hear it. All the time it was going on
the crowd outside discussed the man S
lunacy. The colored people seemed to
be about evenly divided. One old man
said that if Campbell would step in front
of the fast mail as it came by and
stop the train he would believe in
him, and let the grass grow in the
corn and follow him. In the eXamina-
tion Campbell showed familiarity with
the Bible. He quoted accurately and so
rapidly at times that Mr. Norwood could
not find the passages in the Bible which
he had. "Nho are youT' asked Mr..
Norwood. II am Jesus Christ, come to
save Sinners" was the reply. do you

do so again. Can you raise the dead"'
asked juror. Il can, and will prove it
to your satisfaction if you will allow
yourself to be killed for a moment
The juror did not accept the proposition.
Campbell said his home was formerly in
Circleville, Piqua County, o. The jury
decided that he was insane.
