A LEGAL SENSATION
TO FOLLOW THE CONSERVATION
OF SANTA FE PLANS.
A Claim for 100000 Acres of Cali
fornia Lands-The.S San Francisco Line
to Be Completed in Three Years.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Judge Springer is
authority for the statement that within
three years a Santa Fe track between
Moiave and San Francisco will be COM
pleted. With the building of this road,
and the unfinished portion of the At
lantic and Pacific between Sepulpa and
Albuquerque, there will be sprung one
of the largest legal sensations of modern
times. 1t is nothing less than a claim
on the part of the Atchison to over 20,-
100000 acres of land, in what is now the
richest part of California. The grant was
conferred in 1866 by the government, on
condition that the Atlantic and Pacific
should build road. 1t is also reported
that the Atchison is building from Chad
wick, Mo-, to Memphis, in order to take
it's Kansas and Nebraska grain over the
southern route. The completion of the
gap between Ell Paso and San Angelo,
will occur with the completion OF the
San Francisco line, and make the Atchi-
son line $50 miles shorter than. the
Southern Pacific to Galveston.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Efforts Being Madc to Secure Extensive
Foreign Exhibits.

New YORK, Oct. 22.-The foreign af-
fairs committee of the worlds Colum-
bian commission, met at the Gilsey
house today. There were also present
four members OF the foreign exhibit
committee of the local directory. The
committees time was occupied princi-
pally with recommendation from w.
E. Curtis, of the state department,
that army and navy officers should be
detailed by the South American coun-
tries to do their utmost toward
making the exhibitions from those
countries what they should be.
This, he thought, could be ac-
complished through the secretary
of state. He also suggested the estab-
lishment of a bureau at Washington,
and read letter from Secretary Blaine
urging the Importance of the matter,
and stating that it was not at all over
estimated. The subject of the appoint
ment of commission to South Ameri-
can countries was referred to commit
tee. Prof. Adler of John Hopkins uni
versity, was appointed to superintend
the plan submitted by him, and ap-
proved by the commissioners, for secur-
ing large exhibit from the orient.

mously Abolished.
NEW York, Oct. 22.-The biennial
convention of the Fenian brotherhood,
at Paterson, N. j., closed last night.
The session lasted three days. More
than 200 delegates were present, repre-
senting all sections of the United States.
BY far the most important action OF the
convention was the unanimous indorse-
ment of the recommendation of the gen.
eral secretary abolishing the secret oath
of the organization. Hereafter all trans
actions of the brotherhood will be open,
and the public will be free to attend all
meetings.
In his report the general secretary at
tributed the disruptions and disasters to
Irish organizations during the past
two years to the fact that men with sell
fish personal ends had, through the
misuse of the secrecy clause in the con-
stitution, forced themselves into power.
A special committee was appointed
on the future of the organization. In
their report it recommended that
the Fenian brotherhood hereafter
be an open organization; that
military and naval companies
be organized, and thar 30 per cent. of
the receipts be devoted to this purpose,
the Ompanies to be known as "Fenian
volunteers" and be held in readiness to
assist the United States in case of a
foreign war.
The following council was elected !:
George Smith, chairman; Captain Dris-
coll, John Bowling, Francis Rea, b.

Associated Press Dispatches.l

CNCINNATI, Oct. PA disastrous col
lision occurred at 40 O'Clock this morn
ing on the Cincinnati Southern railway,
in q tunnel quarter OF mile north of
Sloan's Valley station, between freight
and passenger train. The latter left
Cincinnati at s p. m. Another passen-
ger train left Cincinnati an hour earlier.
Both these were held at Somerset, KY,
two hours or more on account
of a freight wreck south of that
place, last night. When the track
was clear the foremost Cincinnati train
started out from Somerset first. 1t
met and passed safely north-bound
freight. Then the other passenger started
out. When the first Cincinnati train
passed out, the crew of the freight ap-
peared to overlook the fact that another
was to follow, and they pulled out and
started northward. Less than a
quarter of a mile away they
entered a tunnel, one-sixth Of
mile long. In this the most hopeless
place trainmen ever met death, the en-
gines of the two trains dashed into each
other, and the cars piling up, took fire

Fortunately the passenger train had
not entirely gone into the tunnel when
the crash came, and so the sleepers,
which did not leave the track, served as
a means of escape for the passengers.
All of the cars except three sleepers
were burned.
The list of killed foots up as follows:
John Pilmott, engineer.
Fireman Welsh, Somerset, KY.
Fireman Gould, Ludlow, KY,

EPISCOPAL MISSIONS.
Bishop Tuttle Would Have All the
Clergy Married.


PIrrsBURG, Oct. Pat today's session
of the missionary council of the Protest
ant Episcopal church, the report of the
board OF managers emphasized the para
mount Importance of work among the
colored people. 1t commended the work
of Rev. David Morgan, in Mexico, and
expressed the hope that the house of
bishops would at the next meeting elect
missionary bishop of Japan. A
women's auxiliary board was COM
mended, and the great necessity
of increasing the missionary bishops
fund was emphasized. The contribu-
tions of the church for missions should
not be less than $500, 900 for the ensuing
year. In the afternoon there was dis
cussion of Indian missions. A number
of western ministers made strong ap-
peal for money. In the course OF
speech regarding provisions for superan-
nuated ministers, Bishop Tuttle, of Mis-
souri,, said if he had his way he wonld
have every minister and every bishop
married. A married man is worth four
single men to the church.

Freak of a Somnambulist.

A young man who is well known in
this city had an unpleasant experience a
short time ago. He is a somnambulist
and often does peculiar things in his
sleep. He went to visit some friends in
Waterbury, and as he was not in the
habit of retiring as early as the members
of the family he was visiting, he re-
manned up and took his shoes off before
ascending the stairs.
A few nights after his return to his
home he lay down ON lounge and fell
asleep. After sleeping soundly halt
hour he arose, walked to the foot of the
stairs, took off his shoes, and not being
content with doing that, he drew off his
stockings also. He then clambered up.
stairs to his room. Taking match from
his pocket he brought one of his feet uI
so that he could reach the bottom of it.
and then deliberately scratched the
match on the flat surface.
The match did not light Immediately
but he kept on scratching. Finally the
match did light. The holder was uncon
scious of the fact and kept on scratch
ing. Suddenly he awoke in great pair
from the burn. He hmped about fol
several days, and since that time ques
tions about the proper mode of lighting
a match have been diStasteful to him.
