A RRIGHrFUL ACCIDENT.

An Electric Car Struck by a Locomo-
 tive-More Than . Dozen Persons
 Injured - How the Accident Oc-
 cured.
 CLEVELAND, O., Sept. "A frightful accident occurred at the Wilson avenue crossing of the New York, Chicago and St. Louis railroad in this city Saturday night by which at least dozen persons were terri. ply injured, some of them fatally. The crossing is on a steep grade, down which runs an electric street railroad line. At the time the accident occurred a freight train was standing close to the crossing on the south track An electric motor draw ing one car was approaching from the south.
 The safety gates were up and the road apparently clear. Just as the motor had crossed the railway track, locomotive running about twenty miles an hour, dashed out from behind the freight train. ! The pilot of the engine struck the electric | train between the motor and trail car, l tearing them apart and hurling one to I each side of the track. At least score of ! persons were on the trail car and they were tumbled about in all directions some | being hurled dozen feet away and others pinned under the car which was demol- ished. The street railroad barns were | close to the scene of the accident, and a rescuing party was soon on hand. The victims were taken from the wreck and hurried away in ambulances to hospitals
 within a short space of time. All of them
 were so badly injured that they had to be
 carried from the wreck
 Two sisters, Louise and Minnie Mock
 were in the car. They both lay under the
 wreck. They were carried into a neighbor
 ing saloon. Both were unconscious, but
 stimulants revived them so they were able
 to tell their names. Minnie's body was ter
 ribly crushed and blood trickled from ar
 ugly wound in the head. She was taken tt | St. Alexis hospital, and died in half al
 hour. Her sister Louisa was badly hur
 about, the head and arms, the muscles O.
 the right forearm being torn away iron the hone. She will doubtless recover. Tn
 rescuers, who responded promptly, dit noble work, several of the unfortunat victims being carried in the arms of men hundred rods to the nearest house. Tn wrecked cars were bespattered with blood

TWO sERIoUs ACCIDENTS.

The First Section of a Working Train
 Dashed Into by the Second-A Num-
 ber of Men Killed Outright and
 About Forty Injured-Thirty-Six
 Cars Fall into the Yadkin River.
 DENVER, Col, Sept. "A terrible acci- dent occurred on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad early Saturday morning near Adobe. The train was running in two sections and had two day coaches loaded with laborers. It became derailed some four miles below Florence. The second section dashed into the laborers' cars with terrific force, completely smashing the two coaches, injuring from thirty-five to forty men and killing number outright. The bodies of five have been recovered and twelve men are still missing.
 The wounded are now being cared for at the depots of Florence, Coal Creek and Canon City. Physicians are now in attend ance.
 Sections No. and 9 of freight train No. 61 left Pueblo at 3 o'clock for the west. The first section had attached passenger coach loaded with forty-seven laborers bound for Tennessee Pass and some of the western extensions of the road. The first section had either stopped in the cut near Florence or had greatly reduced their speed, when the second section, the en- gmeer of which was prevented from sec ing the head section by sharp turn in the cut, dashed into the coach, tearing it into a thousand pieces, and throwing the debris, wounded and dead onto the Santa Fe track few feet away. Twelve loaded freight cars ahead of the coach were derail- ed and completely wrecked. None of the trainmen were injured. Those who escaped from the car uninjured, together with some of the citizens of Florence, were soon at work tending the injured and dead from the wreck. As the coach was lying by it. self and not under any other cars it was with little difficulty thst the men were was turned into temporary hospital. Of the forty-seven men known to have been sleeping in the car five were killed instant ly and thirty-seven were wounded. Physi- clans from Canon City and Pueblo arrived in a very short time on special trains and gave the wounded all the attention possi- ble. The injured were taken to the com pany's hospital at Salada, and two of the men are not expected to live.

DkBAuCH AND SUICIDE.

John Bogart of I4S Division Street Ends His Life With Paris Green After . Night Of Intoxfeatfon-Ef- forts to Save His Life Unavailable. A hurried call for the patrol wagon was sent to the police station about o'clock yesterday afternoon. It came from Officer Nichols of Webster street and Dixwell ave
 nue. Charles H. Bogart of 14S Dixwell
 avenue had met the officer but few min
 utes before and told him that his father,
 John Bogart, who lives at 148 Division
 street, was badly intoxicated and was ere ating an uncomfortable disturbance at his home.
 The patrol wagon soon arrived with Driver Doran and Doorman Dick Moore, and, with Officer Nichols, hastened to Bo- gart's house at 14s Division street. When they arrived they found Bogart lying upon the floor of the kitchen in his house, groaning and writhing in agony. A neigh bor, William H. Cornwall, had been at tracted by the mans groans, and had dis covered bis condition but a moment be- fore the officers appeared at the house. Upon a table near by was a glass, tea spoon and an empty box labelled Paris green"
 Bogart, who is man of some sixty-six years, was in a stupor. The officers shook him and asked him what ailed him. He replied he was sick. He finally admitted; however, that he had taken a large dose of Paris green and begged his son and the officers to give him a dose of strychnine to end his suffering.
 DoorTnan Moore ran across to engine house No. 6, which was opposite, and telephoned to Dr. Converse to hasten to the house. The doctor came about half an hour afterwards. In the mean time the suffering man was given large emetic of mustard and water, and other means were used to get the poison from his stomach. Dr. Converse gave him another powerful emetic when
 he arrived. Every effort was made to
 but Bogart seemed to grow weaker and
 weaker. He relapsed into a stupor and died at five minutes after three o'clock. The only cause attributed to Bogart's sudden desire to end his life is despon- dency which followed a Saturday night debauch. It could not be learned that he was afflicted with any domestic trouble which would drive him to so rough a deed. He was employed at Winchester's and was considered a steady man. He usually worked industriously through the week but was in the habit of relaxing somewhat from his steadiness on Saturday nights. He was fond of strong drink and his family state that he made a practice of imbibing great deal more than he could stand upon the closing night of the week. He leaves a wife and & son, Charles Fl. Bogart of 19S Dixwen avenue.

COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS.

voting on the Amendments fp the
 Tariff Bnn to Begin To-mofrow-
 To-day Added to the Limit for De-
 Date-Ftnal Vote to be Taken Near
 the Close Ofthe Week-Plans Of the
 House.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 7-Another day has been added by the senate to the limit fixed for the debate on the tariff bill, and in ae- cordance with this arrangement Monday will be devoted to the consideration of the sugar schedule, in connection with the reciprocity question, speeches being limit ited to thirty minutes. Voting on amend ments without debate will begin Tuesday and continue until all are disposed of. When that time will arrive cannot be stated with exactness for as long as the bill is before the senate it will be open to amendment. But when no more amend ments remain to be offered and the vote is on the passage of the bill six hours will be given to general debate For the republi- cans, Senators Ingalls, and Aldrich will probably occupy the time; for the demo- crats, Messrs. McPherson and Carlisle. The final vote will not be taken, it is be- ieved, until near the close of the week.
 The conference report on the river and harbor bill, which would have been dis posed of Saturday but for the want of a quorum, will be called up tomorrow morning by Senator Frye It is expected that it will be agreed to with but little if any debate.
 After the tariff bill is out of the way the conference report on the land grant for feiture bill will be taken up in accordance with the announcement made by Senator Plumb and when disposed of, Senator Sawyer will ask consideration of the anti lottery bill. According to previous notice by Senator Quay Saturday will be given to eulogies on the late Representative Randall of Pennsylvania. District of Columbia business will occupy the at tention of the house to-mor- row. Tuesday the Virginia contested election case of Langston vs. Venable is to be considered, and it will be followed closely by the South Carolina contested case of Miller versus Elliot In both cases the elections committee propose to seat the colored republican contestants. Later the appropriations committee expect to call up the last of the appropriation bills, the gen eral deficiency bill, which has been mate rially amended by the senate. The tariff bill is among the possibilities, and if it should be returned to the house this week by the senate, accompanied by a request for conference, there is little doubt but that the request will be granted and the bill thrown into conference directly, as there seems to be no disposition on either side to interpose any objection to the speedy disposition of the bill
