An Old Fashioned Storm.

New YORK, October 27.-New York has
been pelted with one of the most pitiless
storms which it has endured in many day.
The fierce northeasterly gale drove the
heavy rain in almost horizontal sheets, rem
dering umbrellas of little use, and the wind
throughout the night ratified signs and shutters
till unbroken sleep became well nigh impos-
sible.
The storm was part of the cyclone dis
turbance which had hung over the gulf states
during two days. gathering strength as it
moved northward.
Stories of damage along the coast come in,
but 1t is feared that the worst is not known.
Several small boats were capslzed off Long
Branch, but the occupants were rescued.
The marine cables strung between this city
and Sandy Hook parted about midnight,
and the members of the maritime exchange
had to depend on a single wire from the
quarantine station at Staten Island.

THREE WRECKS.
One In Kansas. One in Alabama and Ont
South Of CincinnatI-A Rock Island
Freight Runs Into a Union
Pacific Passenger.
Trains Meet in q Tunnel and Burn Up
A Passenger Train Backs Into an
Approaching Freight Train
Passengers Killed.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, October pa disas-
trous wreck occurred on the Union Pacific
track, one mile and half west of Armour
dale. in which eight persons we're injured,
and the engineer on the Rock Island pasSen-
ger train fatally.
The Rock Island uses the Union Pacific
tracks into the city. An east bound RocL
Island freight, which leaves the depot some
time before the Union Pacific passenger
train, was delayed at the scene of the wreck,
and owing to a very heavy fog. placed tor
pedoes on the track to warn the following
train.
The passenger engineer stopped his train
and before fagman could be sent back to
warn the east bound Rock Island passenger
train, which was following the Union Pacific
train, tine Rock Island train crashed into the
rear Pullman sleeping car "Wathena," of
the Union Pacific train.
The Rock Island engine and the sleeper
were completely wrecked. The engineer was
buried under a mass of debris. The fireman
saved his life by jumping.
The trains were both behind time, and it is
claimed that the Rock Island train was run
ming much faster than the SIX mile per hour
limit within the corporation.
CINCINNATL-A disastrous collision oc-
CURED on the Cincinnati Southern, in
tunnel a quarter of mile north of Sloan's
Valley station.
The trains involved we're freight, north
bound, and passenger train, southbound.
quarter of mile from Sloan's valley, both
trains entered tunnel which is one-sixth
of a mile long.
In the most hopeless place that trainmen
ever met death, the engines of the two trains
dashed into each other, and the cars follow
ing jammed into each other IN a mass.
Then came the added horror of confagra-
tion.
The burning of the trains in the tunnel
renders it impossible to clear the track as
the smoke and heat preventing men from
entering.
Fortunately the passenger train had not
entirely gone into the tunnel when the crash
came, and so the three sleeperS, which did
not leave the track, served as a means of es-
cape for the passengers.
These sleepers were detached and drawn
away from the burning train, but the bag
gage car, mail car, and two coaches were
burned.
BIRMINGHAM, AIA-A passenger train on
the Kansas City, Memphis d Birmingham
railroad, which left here, west bound, went
out leaving the sleeper and conductor in the
station.
Discovering that fact six miles out of town,
the engineer began backing into Birming-
ham. At Thomas furnace, three miles out
of the city, the backing train met an out
going freight and there was terrible COLI
sion.
Several passengers in the rear coach were
killed and a number wounded. Those
wounded have been brought to Birmingham
and are at variCuf h"+o'S.

.Jua~s sbtras Decides the Other Way.

DIES MONIES, IA, October 2S.-Judge Shir-
as, of the United States district court, has
made an important ruling involving the Iowa
prohibitory law. The matter came up on
petition for habeas corpus, in which Z. S.
Picker, of Carroll county, is plaintiff, hav-
ing been judged guilty of contempt and fined
500 and costs and to be committed until
paid for violating the state prohibitory law.
1t was argued that the oaly sales made by
Spickler were in original packages and con-
sequently were interstate commerce and not
subject to the laws of any state. Judge
Shiras ruled in effect for the state regulation
of sales of liquor, whether in original pack
ages or not. He also held such cases must
be settled in the state courts and through
them to the United States supreme court.
