Fifteen Persons Seriously Injured.
VINCENNES. Ind, July 1S.-At eleven
O'Clock yesterday the Cairo & Vincennes
~northbound passenger train met with al.
most complete demolition twenty miles
south of Mount Carmel. Ill, and fifteen
passengers were seriously injured. The
passenger train was running along at q
speed Of about thirty-five miles an hour
and was composed of a freight car loaded
with fruit, a baggage car and two passen-
ger coaches. The freight car jumped
the track and threw the remainder of
the train into the ditch and down a ten
foo embankment The passengers were
thrown around in every direction and q
perfect pandemonium ensued. For some
time it was mex to impossible to do any
work toward rescuing the passengers, as
nearly all those on the train were more or
less injured. and probably SO frightened
that they were helpless. The more Sc.
riously injured are: Charles Long, of
Danville, ILL.,. conductor, left ear cut of
and head cut, seriously hurt; Baggage

body; Mrs. Porter. Terre Haute. badly

THE STRIP.

Secretary Noble Throws Out Some Hints
That it Might be Well for the Cattle Ring

WASHINGTON, July 1S-Secretary Noble
in an interview with q correspondent con.
coming the proposition of the Cherokee

Cherokee Outlet from Ia Cherokee Nation
for fifteen years at . compensation Of g..
DOC, OOQ. said that he was not willing ut
this juncture to express his opinion OF the
subject He had very decided views IN
this question and at the proper time would
make them knowni in . manner hat would
be understood.
But" continued the Secretary. ~ will
say this much now-I do not recognise
any competitor Of the United States Gov.
eminent on it, own SOIL"
From this declaration the inference may
be clearly drawn thai Secretary Noble
considers the proposed lease in the light
OF an invasion upon the rights Of tho Gov.
ernment in respect to the Cherokee Strip
and that no such attempted competition
With the Government will 10 tolerated.
The conclusion may likewise be reached,
based upon the Secretary's words, that he
considers the title Of the Government to
the Cherokee Outlet paramount to that
set up OF claimed by the Cherokee Nation
and hence the effort on the part of the
cattle syndicates to secure this lease from

Late in the afternoon Attorney.G General
Miller came down to the Department OF
the Interior and held an extended confer
ence with Secretary Noble in relation to
the proposition to lease tie Cherokee
Strip in which the interests and rights Of
the Government were discussed at length.
The conclusions reached were not di.
vu'ged and the utmost reticence is OBJ
served for reasons alleged to be pruden-
tial. 1t may be accepted, however, that
the officials of the Government are on the
alert in this matter and that steps will be
taken to strengthen the action of the Com
missioners to negotiate fo- cession OF the
outlet soon to meet at Tahlsquah.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Civil-Ser-

Colonel Roudinot On the Opening OF the

from Fort Smith, Ark, says: Colonel E
c. Boudinot the noted Cherokee lawyer,
made a speech at a picnic yesterday in
the Cherokee Nation. a few miles from
here. to a large cOncOurse of people. He
expressed his views without reserve rela.
tive to the Cherokee Commission and the
sale of the Cherokee Outlet. That these
lands were to be the homes of American
farmers in . very short time b speaker
regarded as certain as fate, and,
in his opinion. common sense
and the welfare of the Cherokees
dictated the policy Of meeting the
Commissioners half way and the sale
Of the lands on the best terms possible.
He believed the Commissioners were dis
posed to be friendly and generous in their
dealings with the Indians and that by
prudent management 500 0 90 might be
obtained for all the lands occupied and
unoccupied west of the Arkansas river,
and he vas in favor of paying out the
amount per capita to ali the Citizens of
The Nation. the adopted whites, Shswnees,

HARTFORD, Conn.,, July l9.-The Glas.
tonburg stockinet factory here was de-
stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. The
flames broke out in the picking room OF the
first floor and cut Of all communication
with the second floor, where forty girls
were employed. A scene Of wild excite
ment ensued as the frightened girls APP
peared at the windows calling for help.
There had teen no adequate provision
made for such an emergency. either in the
matter of fire escapes or ladders, and
there were no means of extinguishing the
flames. As the flames crept toward the
windows the girls climbed out on slls
and the crowd below objected thehh
to jump. This they did n they
were caught in the arms of the
men below. One Of the giDls had her leg
fractured and a dozen others were burned
severely, but not dangerously, some Of
them having their eyebrows singed Oh.

SAUCE FROM sAvAcEs.

Painted Indians Threaten Others, hut Are
Suppressed by General Crook.
CHEYENNE RIVER AGENCY. Oak, July
19.-The council met yesterday at about
ten O'Clock. A large delegation Of the
hostile faction were present, surrounding
the chiefs tent. 1t was evident that it
was the object of the speakers to indicate
that no signers need lie expected.
General Crook finally stopped further
discussion by sending for the rolls and
invited such Indians as wished to
sign to do 80. Chasing Crow
stepped forward and said he
Was in favor Of the bill and touched the
pen. This was the signal for a angry
outburst from tho Cherry creek band who
began to crowd around the table where
the rolls were sp,ead out. Two painted
Indians sprang to the front, n brand
fshing Q large club and threatened to
brain any q who signed. General
Crook stood near with his hand on a
heavy chair. prepared to knock the Indian
down at the first hostile demonstration,
when the latter was arrested by the pc.
lice and hurried out Of the pavilion.
General Cook then spoke forcibly for a
few moments. He told them that this
Commission had been sent here by the
Presiden. for the purpose of explaining an
act of Congress, and that it had done its
duty. II any did not understand, the
Commissio ners were ready at any time to
explain. II any wanted to sign, they
should be allowed to do so. Matters were
in . bad shape il q lot of breech-
:louted. blanketed Indians, who had
just come on the reservation and
cared for nothing SO long a. they got
enough to eat were to b allowed to pre-.
vent those Indians who were trying to
provide for tho future Of their children
from signing. He said il the police could
not protect them he would bring men here
who could. He wanted it distinctly I'M.
1erstood that those who chose to sign
would be protected. This effectively ii.
fenced the disturbance.
Tho police prevented the crowd from
pressing too closely around the signing
tables and opened q large lane for them
through the hostile faction. Signatures
were taken rapidly for an hour and then
continued slowly. There were 100 sig
natures up to five p. N.
The opposition here is thoroughly organ.
i1ed and has the support of q majority Of
the police force and Of all the wealthy
half-breeds at other agencies. The half
breeds have been as a rule in favor OF the
bill and the police force its staunchest
friends. The worst element Of the Sioux
reservation is located here. the Cherry
creek bands being mainly those Indians
who were within q few years brought
here from Poplar river and were the last

Turing Many Persons.
MILFORD. Mass, July 1S-At an exhibi.
ton here last evening of W. H. Bristol &
Co.'S circus two different sections of seats
caved in with hundreds of people thereon.
The performance had hardly begun when
one-third of the seats on the entire west
side Of the tent gave way with 600 people.
Several persons were badly hurt and
hundreds more or less bruised. Physi.
clans were summoned and the broken
seats and injured people removed. The
performances had just been resumed when
half of the reserved seats with go spec
tators fell in. This created . panic and
it was with much difficulty order was re.
stored. 1t was found that the supports of
the seats in the wet ground had been
forced down by o~vercrowding. In the Sec
ond accident no one was seriously hurt,
but many were slightly cut and bruised.
Those badly injured are: Peter Fahey,
aged sixteen, thigh broken; Mrs. Stevens,
of Hopedale, ankle broken; Mrs. Keith.

Philosophy of the Dav.

The degrees of luck are so various
that they can be applied to all circum-
stances.
Wisdom waits to be asked for advice.
Truths differ. Sometimes they are
told to a mans face, and sometimes be-
hind his back.
The truth about some men lie not
told until after they are dead.
Vanity produces c0rns and vexati0ns
of spirit.
Trusts are combinations of men and
corporations that a not trust one an
other.
If every man could have his way the
world would be almost depOpulated.
Some men discipline themselves to
