mail had been standing at the depot at

freight came around curve at speed,

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Sept. 2S.-At about
l O'Clock this morning disastrous
freight wreck occurred on the Baltimore
and Ohio near Pleasant Valley, short
distance west of this city. Orders were
given for the east and west bound
freights to pass at Black Hand, but the
operator at that place failed to deliver
the order to the eastbound train. Later
he saw his mistake and telegraphed
the operator here that there
would be wreck pretty soon,
and left his post. He is
a mere boy. Both engines and num-
Der of cars filled with merchandise, were
piled up in great confusion. Eight men
were killed-John Buckingham, en-
gineer; VIM. Freetone, fireman; Free.
man Keller, brakeman John Cochrane,
Ben Smart, Glenn Bush, Geo. w. Stone
burner, Tom McCary and one unknown.
Engineer John Kemp had leg cut off,
and Fireman Wilson wass badly hurt.
Those not employed on the train were
beating their way from Columbus.
The trains met on sharp curve, and
the westbound train had just emerged
from piece of woods, so that neither
was checked in speed. The engines
crashed together with awful force, and
freight cars to the number of twenty
five, were piled up to the height of
twenty-five or thirty feet.
There was also collision on Barnes
vile hill, on the Baltimore and Ohio,
between an express and passenger train.
The railway officials state no one was
hurt, but both engines and an express
car were ruined

AN AWFUL HOT FIRE.
THE CHICAGO STOCK YARDS CON-
FLAGRATION.
The Anglo-American Packing Company's
Plant Damaged to the Extent of $780,
OOO-The Carcasses of 1000 Hogs
Burned.

CHICAGO, Sept 2S-TheAnglo-American
Packing company's establishment at the
stock yards was damaged by fire early
this morning to the extent of $3.50, 900.
The fire is one of the worst the de-
partment has had to deal with. An
alarm of fire was turned in shortly be-
fore O'Clock, when flames were seen in
the packing room. When the first en-
gines arrived this room was mass of
flames. Water had little effect on the
grease-soaked floors, and the fire soon
reached room where thirty-two tanks
of lard were located. These exploded
one after another and the melted lard
added fresh fuel to the flames. The
heat was SO intense that the firemen
were forced back and compelled to work
@ spread to the coo1ng re Room aise Where 'he the
carcasses of nearly seven thousand hogs
were stored. They burned like oil.
Water seemed useless, and the twenty
engine companies at work made but
little headway. More engines were
summoned, but two hours after the
fire started, the roof fell in and the
flames seemed to spread more rapidly
than eyer. The hundred streams OF
water being poured on the fire appeared
to have no effect.
About this time the flames reached a
lot Of salt peter and the flames from this
stified the firemen, overcoming several
of them. The fire marshals directed all
the efforts of their men to prevent the
spread of the flames from the Anglo
American plant. Within short dis
tance of the establishment are several
other large packing houses, and for a
time it was feared the flames would COM
municate to them. The firemen sue
ceeded, however, in controlling it.
At O'Clock this morning it was seen
to be impossible to extinguish the burn
ing pork, and water was thrown on it to
keep the fire down as much as possible.
1t will have to burn out and it will
probably be day or two before it is
entirely extinguished.
Tho fire department succeeded in saw
ing the other portion of the Anglo
American plant from serious damage.
The loss is entirely covered by in
surance. The company that has been
conducting the business is composed of
Englishmen. Recently, however, a new
company was formed, known as Fowler
Bros. Qimited,) incorporated in Eng
land, with capitalization of e750 600
with proposal to acquire the business
OF several firms here and elsewhere.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
MONROvIA DEVELOPING SOME PHE-
NOMENAL BALL-PLAYERS.
The Lamanda Park Team Again Badly
Drubbed. The Senators and Stock tons
Play Bad Ball-American Games.

MoNRoIA, CAL, Sept. 2S,-(Special)
Another very large crowd witnessed the
Monrovias defeat the Lamanda Park
club at the Arcadia ball grounds today,
in very interesting game. Thurber,
the west end twirler, and Clapp, of Pas
adena, were the batters for the visitors,
and did most excellent work.
Woodwork, of the home team,
though only an amateur, is fast devel-
oping into phenomenal pitcher. In
today's game he struck out every man
at the bat, with only three exceptions.
Virgins, his catcher, is just the man
for the place. He has good record and
will some day be heard OF in the profes-
sional world.
Score-Monrovia, 6; Lamanda Park,
ss The Senators Unfortunate Errors.
SACRAMENTO, sept. 25.-Error making
on the part of the Sacramentos lost them
the game today with Oakland. After
the third inning the senators saw they
could not be in the contest, and allowed
the visitors to win by score of 8 to 4.
Stapleton and Godar's errors cut an i'm
portant figure in the visitors run-get-
ting. Both pitchers were touched up
quite lively.
The Stocktons Played Horribly.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 2S.-The Stock
tons played horribly today, the San
Franciscos defeating them without half
trying, by a score of Is to 3. Fudger
and Lookabaugh were the pitchers.

A BRIDEGROOM CRAZED.
His Bride Slain by Her Father, Who
Then Suicided.

LAcoN, ILL.,, Sept. 2s.-A terrible trag-
edy occurred here this morning. For
some time Joseph Baxter, young Eng
lishman, employed in the Lacon woolen
mills, had been courting Mary Siefert, a
young girl who, with her father, worked
in the same mill. The father objected
strenuously to their engagement, and
went so lar as to threaten several
days ago to kill them and himself unless
they gave up the idea of marriage. New
ertheless the young people were married
Saturday night. This morning Siefert
sent for Baxter, saying he wished to
apologize for the language used and be-
come reconciled. Baxter went and had
a pleasant interview with his father-in-
law, and at the latter's request, sent in
his bride to make her peace. AS soon as
she went into the room, her father seized
shotgun and blew out her brains. He
then placed the other barrel of the gun
in his mouth and fired the remaining
charge into his own head, dying in
stantly. The young husband tonight is
a raving maniac.

joining were in flames. Hard work by

to have been Juniata Sergeant, of San
Francisco, died in her apartments at
