Engineer Caldwell and Fireman Fralic
Found Dead AIanpside the Cab.

Engineer Caldwell and Fireman Fralich
Found Dead Alongside the Cab.
LATROBE, June H.-The work of clearing
away the wreck here is progressing as raI-
idly as possible. At II o'clock the bodies Of
j. Z. Caldwell, the engineer. and @. f.
Fralich, the fireman of the ill-fated freight,
were found lying alongside of the cab.
.CaldwelPs left arm and right leg were
broken, and cash several inches long was
found in hue forehead. Fralich's breast
was crushei, while other parts of his body
were badly bruised. This makes twelve
bodies so far recovered. 1t is expected that
others will be found as soon as the bottom
of the creek is reached. The workmen have
not yet succeeded in getting the engine out
of the creek. 1t is lying upon box-car. A
track was laid this afternoon to the
wrecked engine, but every effort to move
it has proved fruitless. Searching for the
dead was practically suspended in the eff
fort to get the engine out The car under
meath is crushed into the bed of the stream.
Near the engine is an immense slack pile,
from which two or three bodies were taken
out early yesterday morning, and when
that is scattered it is probable that others
will be found. Work was suspended for
the light at z o'clock. More men will be
put to work in the morning.

THE LION AROUSED.
Portugars Virtual Confiscation OF an English

PortugaPs Virtual Confiscation OF an English
Railway in Africa Causes Trouble.
LONDON, June 27.-The diplomatic feature
of the repeal by Portugal of the Delagoa Bay
railway concession, in Africa, plOmises to
become serious. The railroad was built al
most exclusively by English capital and
the British government has already made
earnest representations to Portugal to in
duce the Ministry to revoke their action in
repeating the concession. 1t is claimed on
the part OF the railway company that the
repeal was secured by few wealthy Beers
in Delagoa, who privately urged the Portu-
guese Ministry to this course. in the hope
of acquiring the railroad without paying
for it. There is no question that sharp
practice has been resOrted to.
The claim upon which the repeal of the
concession is based is that the railroad was
not completed within the time specified in
the grant AS matter of fact the whole
line was finished when the time expired,
with the exception of the last six miles of
the road, and the building of these few
miles was delayed by the prevalence of
disastrous floods in the districts. which
rendered construction altogether out of the
question.
A British gun-boat was expected to ar
rive at DelagOa to-day. The railway em-
ployes are preparing to make forcible re-
slstance to any attempt OF Portuguese
authorities to take control of the road.
Meetings of the company to whom Portugal
granted the concessions to build the Della
goa Bay railroad and the Chamber of Dep
uties will be held. and the London Stock
Exchange will be asked to cease quoting
made reparation for her action.
The Globe, commenting on POrtugaFs g
conduct in the matter. says: Portugal has
been guilty of an unwarrantable breach of
faith, and of shameful dishonesty, and has
disgraced the national name."
1t is understood that Mr.. Blaine in re-
sponse to petition, will send an American
man-of-war to Delagoa bay.

KOKoMo. Ind, June 27.-One of the most
wonderful freaks of nature ever known in
this part of the country is now causing a
good deal of talk in this and adjoining
counties. On last Tuesday, twelve miles
southwest of this city, Mrs. Henry Jones
had born to her twins, inseparably con-
nected at the hips and lower abdomen.
The two trunks are joined together at the
base, with head at each end, and the
lower limbs protrude from each side of the
body, where the trunks are connected at
the hips. No vital organs are connected.
except the spinal column, which is contin-
nous from one end to the other. Each
breathes and puIsates quite independent of
the other, and both are perfectly
formed and have free use of their limbs
Along the abdomen there is no line or mark
to show where one begins and the other
ends, except one umbilical cord, which
served for both. The infants are very
hearty as any children of their ages Both
nurse from the mother and bottle with regu-
lar movements, and are regular in other re-
spects, the passages being located at the
side. Both are females. Their joint weight
is twelve pounds, and they measure, from
crown to crown, twenty-four inches. The
lower limbs are of normal size. They have
bright. sparkling blue eyes, and are not in
the least peevish, and when not nursing or
asleep. content themselves sucking their
thumbs.
Thousands of people are Hocking to see
the infants, the medical fraternity be-
ing well represented. No physician was
present at the birth. The mother is
getting along nicely. The father is
twenty-four years of age, the mother but
eighteen, and the present is the second
birth in the family. The mother is a spare
built woman, weighing but ninety pounds,

animation express the belief that the chill

LONDON June 27.-While the newspapers

NEW YORK. June 27.-Among the passen-
gers on the steamship Prince Wilhelm,
which arrived on Wednesday from Hayti,
was Mr.. g. b. Nilsson, resident of this city,
who, four months ago. went to Hayti to
enter the employ of Legitime in the capac-
ity of an engineer on board man-of-war.
In speaking of the affair to-day he said
that he returned because he found the situ-
alton there too warm for him. Legitime
stood little chance against Hippolyte.
whose army was we'll equipped and num-
bered some 10000 stronger than that of Legl-
time. Mr.. Nilsson considered it question
of only few days when news
would be received stating that
Hippolyte had entered Port-au-
Prince When he left Hippolyte's
troops were within four miles of Port-au-
Prince by land and fourteen by sea. He
said that the reason why Hippolyte did not
rush in on Port-au-Prince Immediately was
because he was awaiting the signal of his
friends in the city. The reason why
Legitime's troops are so demoraliZed, Mr..
Nilsson thought, arose from the fact that
the former commander-in-chief. General
Piquant, evacuated Grand Saline for the
consideration of $4,000. and then, through
the aid of. the French consul at Port-au-
Prince. succeeded in leaving the island
with the money. Another reason was that

within as many months. and one of these

of the government money, and then re-
signed.
