OMAHA, Oct. IA terrible wreck oc-
Cured on the b. and M. at Gibson, few
miles from Omaha, Tuesday evening.
About fifty passengers were injured.
Two engines were completely demol-
ished, and chair car and combination
car were thrown from the track and re-
duced to atoms. Train No. 9, the local
freight between Lincoln and Chicago,
ran into No. o. The former was east and
the latter west-bound. Gibson is the
meeting point and the place where the
crew on No. o, which is stub train that
makes connections with the Kansas
City Express, stops to register. Both
trains are due at Gibson at 6:45 p. M,
but No. 0 was slightly behind. When
the accident occurred the latter had just
crossed the spur, and the engine on No.
struck the end, hurling both engines
and the two coaches from the track. The
combination coach and the chair car
were crowded with passengers, all OF
whom were more or less injured, while
Peter Reuland, proprietor of the 1re'
mont House, Sixteenth and Burt streets,
was injured to that extent that he died
shortly after being taken to the hos
pital. The chair car, after being over.
turned, caught fire and many of the pas
sengers were burned. in addition to their
other injuries; but those who escaped
comparatively safe aided in the work OF
relieving their pain. The exact number
of the injured has not yet been ascer.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 1s.-The office
of the Southern Express Company, at
Millsport, Ala, a small town about nine.
ty miles west of here, on the Georgia
Pacific railroad, was robbed of $4,000
one night last week. The robbery
was kept secret by the officials OF
the company until yesterday, when a
man named Abercrombie was arrest
ed in Lamar County charged with
the robbery. The prisoner is believed
to be member of Rube Burrows band OF
outlaws and train robbers. One day last
week the agent at Millport received
$4,000 in number of packages consign.
ed to merchants in that section. Lato
that night, while the agent was alone
in his office, man entered with a drawn
revolver and made him hand over all
the money in the safe. The prisoner,
Abercrombie, has been identified as the
robber. Rube Burrows, the noted Ala
bama outlaw and train robber, was

THE FIRST MATCH.
A "Reminiscences Which Appeals StrO
TO the Sense of the Ridiculous.

A "Reminiscences Which Appeals Strongly
TO the Sense of the Ridiculous.
A few days ago a gentleman, who is
now something over sixty yeaas of age,
said to me: 81 well remember the
time when / first saw a match. l
was then boy, and was working in
the barn with my father, when q young
man, the son of neighbor, came in
with box in his hand and said he
could now light fire without
borrowing Goals or striking spark
with the flint. Opening the box he
took out one of the matches, which
was three or four inches long and had
yellow looking substance ON one end.
This end he dipped into a small bottle
which came in the box with the
matches and contained sulphuric acid.
When the match was put into
the acid it instantly burnt into
blaze. Although young Grant had
paid fourteen shillings $l.75) for
his box, which held but fifty
matches, he was quite ready to use up
one or more of the costly fire-makers
in showing father how the wonderful
invention worked. But father, having
wholesome fear of fire, and looking
with some suspicion on any new de-
parture from established ways, begged
Grant, If he would fool with that stuff
to go outside, for he didn't want his
barn burned down. adding, 1T may Dc
fun to see that 20 off. but it amt going
to do anybody any good to have fire
made MS easy as thatp" The old gen.
tleman was mistaken. His son has
lived TO see the time when fire can be
made much moro easily. and 1t does
people good by saving time and temper
while the number of fires from the use
OF matches comparatively few. FIVE
hundred ''parlor' matches can be
bought for FIVE cents; between forty
and fifty million matches are made
every day in the United States, and
still the country is not yet destroyed
by fire In spite Of the ease with which

Blanche. the Kisser.

CHICAGO, Oct 1S.-Blanche Nelson,
handsome, gorgeously dressed young
woman, was brought before Justice c. j.
White yesterday morning for trial. The
charge against her was plain ''disorderly
conduct" 1t appeared from evidence
that Wednesday afternoon the affection
ate young creature, while slightly under
the influence of wine, created scene at
the corner of Halstead and Madison
streets by kissing all the good-looking
yonng men she could catch. Very
little outcry on the part Of
the victims was made, and every thing
went well until solemn middle-aged
man, having the appearance and garb
of clergyman, came along. The girl
seized him. He appeared any thing but
reconciled to her caresses. AS the
middle-aged gentleman struggled to free
himself from Blanche's embraces,
crowd gathered, and policeman hove
in sight. The patrol-wagon was sum-
moned. Inside of ten minutes Miss
Blanche was behind prison bars. The
girls defense was not of the best, and
she was fined five dollars and costs.

HIDDEN TREASURE
Found in a Housekeepers Old
Trunk in the Carrot.
Twelve Thousand Dollars Hoardcd In
Thirty Years on Salary of Five
Dollars n Week.

WINoNA, Mimi, Oct. ELENA Wein-
berg, housekeeper of the Huff House for
many years, was burned to death last
May. 1t was not known at the time
that she was possessed of more than. q
few dollars. She left four trunks, which
appeared to contain nothing more than a
coed supply of woman's wearing APP
parel. These trunks stood in room &C.
cupied by Miss Weinberg for two or
three months, and then were removed to
storage garrett. Yesterday cousin
of the woman turned up at Winona
and told story of having heard
Miss Weinberg state that she had plenty
of money. Inquiry was made at the
banks and in other quarters where funds
were likely to be placed, but no evil
dence was found which would indicate
that she had left money. The cousin
suggested that thc trunks be looked
through for notes or other securities.
The trunks were brought out of their
dark recess and opened. The clothing
was carefully lifted out and searched,
but no writing was found, except about
dozen old letters, none of which con-
tanned any reference to money. The
searching party was about giving up in
despair when one of them raised the
corner of one of the trunks and let it
drop. There was sound of money
rattling together. A hatchet was
brought and hole made, from which
gold ten-dollar and twenty-dollar gold
pieces poured in a stream. The
other trunks were. also found to
contain false bottoms and a deal
of money. Besides the gold,
there were bills of the denomination of
500, $50, $50, ,etc. land at least S25 in the old
fashioned fractional paper currency. On
being counted the hoard footed up S10,3
in gold, and over S1,SO0 in bills. Where
the money came from is deep mystery.
Colonel Cockerel, for whom she worked
thirty years, says he has not the slight
est idea where she got it. Her salary
was never more than IS week.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 19.-Some-
thing decidedly new in strikes is on at
the little village of Jasper, near the
Tennessee river. The inmates of the
county Jail are working out their sem

wear shackles and chains, and refused to
labor unless the iron harness was taken
off. They were taken back to Jail by
their guards and refused bread and water
until they agreed to work. 1t is ques-
tion of endurance.
