A Navy Yard ScorcI,.

A serious fire is reported from the Kit
terry navy yard, New Hampshire. The fire
broke out in the boiler-room of the
building, occupied as machine and iron
plate shops, and quickly extended along to
the Futtock mill, where the workmen were
obliged to jump through the windows to
escape. Despite the efforts of the frcmen
and the marine guard the fire extended into
the machine shops and help was called for
from Portsmouth. Reinforcements sent
confined the fire to two buildings, which
together are 400 feet in length and 65 feet

A PUNISHMENT ron SINS.

EENL AHE hE -.
A Bishops Circular on Influenza.
Archbishop Fabre has sent a circular
to all the parish priests Of this archdiocese
ordering them to add o prayer to every
mass and to the litany of the holy
name Of Jesus after every benediction
to implore divine providence to
take away the scourge Of influenza
which the circular says is ever increasing
among the people and doing incalculable
harm. The Rev. DR.. J. w. Emard, vice
chancellor, in making this announcement
OF the archbishop's chapel said that the
people might consider all these plaques
which visit them from time to time as a
punishment for sins committed at such
times as the carnival season and at such
places as theaters and other popular
resorts. He strongly urged the faithful to
institute prayers at their homes to concili-
ate tho anger of God.

Won His Girl in Sixteen Rounds

A prize fight in private occurred lately at
Crayon, o., between John Grim and Will
lam Wright to decide which should have
the affection of a young lady in the neigh
borhood. Her indecision as to which she
liked best brought on a collision between
the two suitors. They agreed to settle the
matter in a glove contest TO a finish. ONLY
a few friends were given the "tip," but
enough of each side to see that fair play
was given. They hammered each other in
the most brutal manner, but Wright had
the best of it. and his opponent was put to
sleep in the sixteenth round by a terrific
blow squarely between the eyes. The
principals shook hands, received congratu-
latlons and left the riugside good friends.
Wright may court the young lady undis-
turoed, If she does not hear of the affair
n discard both of the young men.

Some Reasons Cropping Out for Delaying
tho Sioux ami

some Reasons Cropping Out for Delaying
tho Sioux Opening.
Bishop Hare, Of South Dakota, has
taken ground against the opening Of the
Sioux Indian reservation until ceagress
has passed a bill which gives the Indians
certain things not called for in the original
act under which negotiations were made.
He has written a letter TO Herbert WEIGH,
Of Pennsylvania, in which he states his
position emphatically. Mr.. WEIGH is Sec
rotary of the National Indian Rights asso.
citation, and has, it is understood, laid the
bishops letter before influential members
OF both houses Of congress. The bishops
position Is that the commission made
promises to the Sioux which they were not
authorized to make under the bill, and
which the Indians regard as a part of the
conditions under which they give up their
lands. He holds that unless these
promises are carried out faith
is broken, and the Indians will have
just cause to complain of their
treatment at the governments hands.
Bishop Hare is familiar with the situation
in the lands Of the Sioux. He has a wide
acquaintance with .le Indians, and last
summer took a deep interest in the work Of
the commission. He was said to be OPP
posed to the cession by the Indians. 1t is
not known just who have seen copies of
his letter, but a senator told a correspond
ent that this letter might be one reason for
delay in issuing the proclamation, Repre-
sentative Picker, of South Dakota, has
just lad an interview with the president on
this subject. The president told him that
he had not had time to examine the report
of the commission as fully as he wanted to
before issuing the proclamation. He asked
Maj Picker many questions about the
probable condition in which settlers would
find themselves if they were to rush in
there in considerable numbers at this sea-
son OF the year, and from the tone of his
talk gave the inference that he was dis
posed to act as soon as the press of basi-
ness allowed him to do SO with a full
understanding of the situation.

An Indiana Train Wrecked. and Sever.
posaouuora KiNoda

An Indiana Train Wrecked and Several
Passengers Killed.
A passenger train on the Monon route.
which left Chicago Sunday night, was
wrecked one mile above Carmel village,
Ind. The train was running at q rapid
rate and was approaching a long trestle
across Wickerson creek, when the tender
Of the engine jumped the track. The en-
gineer reversed his engine, but before the
air brakes could check the speed Of the
train the locomotive and baggage car had
cleared the t~restle, but the sleeper and
smoking coach went over into the creek,
both taking fire almost Immediately and
being consumed in q remarkably short
time.
Those who escaped injury busted them
selves in digging out the dead and injured
from the wreck, but before this could be
accomplished the heat of the burning cars
became so intense they had to withdraw.
The killed are:
MRS. NELLIE EUBANK, Broad Ripple, Ind.
c. {. DEMING, Frankfort, Ind.
MRS. 8. D. OLDHAM's twin children, sheri,
dan.
MISS MARY HOOVER, Horton.
MRS. HATTIE HENsLEY, Cyclone.
The injured are:
J. D.. PEARSON, Sheridan, Ind, right shoulder
and arm crushed, injured internally.
NJ. H. c.. MILLER, Now York City, commercial
traveller, badly cut and bruised, right leg
truhed cannot live.
LOUIS NEWMAN, internal injuries.

crushed.
CHARLES G. WORT, Frankfort, bruised on the
head and hips.
S. W1TsErT, Indianapolis, head badly cut
and buck severely wrenohed.
J.P. ALTzIER, bruised about the head and
back seriously.
G. W. %STINaALL, Rossville, leg cut, arms
severely bruised and back injured.
HARRY ENGEL, son OF the conductor, elbow
out off and head cut.
Eight others receive slight injuries.
Investigation revealed that the accident
was due to the spreading of the rails about
$50 feet from the ~trestle.
Officials of the road at Indianapolis say
that the train was going quite slowly when
the accident occurred. The engine got
clear over. the cars Immediately next to it
t.ppling over on the incline, and taking
fire, whether from lamps or stoves has not
been yet ascertained. A second train
arriving on tine scene of the
accident shortly afterwards, the dead
and wounded were put on board and taken
back to. Indianapolis. The wrecked train
was not the vestibule. Nearly all the
killed were in the sleeper, which was
among the first Of the cars to take fire.
The cars were almost totally consumed.
Immediately on hearing of the accident
Several officials of the -Monon route, in
Guiding superintendent Woodland and DR..
Davy, surgeon-general of the road, left for
Carmel to render all the assistance pos
sible to the sufferers.
The early report that M. E. Ingalls, was
among the injured in the Monon wreck at
Carmel, gave rise to the supposition that
it was President Ingalls, of the C. G. c. u
I. road. This is wrong, as Mr.. Ingalls, has
been in the east for two weeks past and
had just left Washington for New York.

The female body recently discovered in
tbs Big Horn Basin, Wyo., proves not to
have been that of the missing Edna Will
son. A portion of the dress found on the
corpse and a description of the rings worn
were sent to the girls mother and she says
they have no connection with her missing

that q murder has been committed and an

fair. Last June a headless horse and a
woman's saddle were washed ashore from
the Big Horn river, fifteen miles below
where the body was found.

Parents Killed While Attending Their

MIR. and Mrs. Frederick Payne, and Mrs.
Reprogal while being driven to the funeral
of Payne's child by Hickman Simeon An

the carriage had reached the gate of Rose
Hill cemetery, where the road crosses the
railway track, an n-bound Chicago ex-
press on the Northwestern road dashed
upon ii, utterly wrecking it, and throwing
the unfortunate victims ten feet away.
The 9 year old daughter of MIR. and Mrs.
Payne miraculously escaped with a slight
scalp wound. The driver and engineer are
each censured for lack of caution, but the
absence of a aagman at the crossing seems
to lave been the principal cause of the
horror, as the view of both engineer and
carriage driver is mostly shut off by the
Rose Hill railroad station and a group of
saloons.
Engineer Mahoney, of the train which
ran into the funeral procession at Rose
Hill, killing four persons, was arrested
after the accident. Two charges were
preferred against him. One that
of criminal carelessness, and the other one
OF violating the city ordinance. On one
