tary attributed the disrIptions and dis

TURN OF THE TIDE.
Gladstone Scores a Great Victory In Yes
tor,iay's Election.


LONDON, Oct. 22.-The parliamentary
election in the Eccles division Of Lanca-
shire to-day resulted in victory for the
Gladstonans. Roby, the liberal candi-
date, received i,9Ol votes; and Egrrton.
the conservative, i,66. In the preceding
election the liberal candidate received 81
9SO. and the conservative i,27.
The NelrS says tho result of the Eccles
election will make the demand for the
dissolution Of parliament louder than
ever.
The Chronicle says the election was
fought on the eight-hour and not on the
Irish question and that the result is a
great triumph for new unionism.
The Post says when the real moment
for national decision is reached the
double.issue by which Eccles was won
will be very small item in the general
result
The Times admits tho result was due 10
the return Of the GlAdsionians TO their
allegiance coupled with Roby's accept
ance Of eight hours and n total vote.
The Standard says: "lt is futile IN deny
that the result of Oh. Ecclcs election dis
appoints the unionists. We regret that
although the conservatives maintained
their ground they failed to emulate the
Giatsionians ia securing new yotes.n

Two Trains Collide with Awful Result
to Imprisoned Passenrers

Two Trains Collide with Awful Results
to Imprisoned Passengers.
CINCINNATI, Oct. IA disastrous col
lision occurred at 40 o'clock this morn
ing on the Cincinnati Southern railroad
in tunnel a quarter Of mile north of
Slo ane Valley station, between n freight
and passenger train. The latter left Gin
cinnati at D. IN. and the passenger train
left Cincinnati an hour earlier. Both
these arrived at Somerset, Kentucky, two
hours or more late ON account OF freight
wreck south of that place last night,
When the track was clear the forcm ost
Cincinnati train started out from
Somerset and first met and passed safely
the north bound freight. Then the other
passenger started out.
When the first Cincinnati train passed
out the crew of the freight appeared TO
have overlooked the fact that another was
to follow il. They pulled out and started
northwest. Less than quarter Of mile
away they entered n tunnel one-sixth of n
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 following. No descriptions Of
the scene have yet been made. only the
bare results were tclegraphed to the otii-
cials OF the road here. Firemen Gould
and Welch, Brakeman John L. Montgom-
cry, Express Messenger Edward Rufner
and the mail agent were killed. En-
gineer Taylor Of the passenger train and
NJ. B. Pimlott Of the freight were badly
burned. The baggagemaster was injured
but no passengers were killed. II any
were injured their names have not yet
been ascerlained,
Young Paine, the commercial traveller
who had both legs crushed has since died.
The delay to passenger trains by anothe r
wreck caused the mistake of the engineer
and conductor of the freight train. For
tunatcly the passenger train had not en-
tirely gone into the tunnel when the crash
came and so three sleepers which did not
leave the track served as means Of es-
cape for the passengers. All Of the train
except three slccpers burned.

Pimlott died this afternoon, making six

BOOMING MARRIAGE.
Bishop Tuttie says a Married Man Il
Worth -Four single Ones.

PrTrsHURG, Oct. 22.-At to-day's session
Of tho missionary council of the Protes-
tant Episcopal church, the report Of the
board OF managers emphasized the para
mount Importance of work among the
colored people. Ii commended the work
Of Rev. David Gordon in Mexico and ex-
pressed the hope that the house Of bishops
would at the next meeting elect a mis-
sionary bishop OF Japan. The womens'
auxil liary board was commended and the
great necessity OF increasing the mission
ary bishops fund was emphasized. The
contributions OF the church for the mis-
sions should not be less than 5000 for the
ensuing year.
In the afternoon the discussion was on
Indian missions. A number OF Western
ministers made q strong appeal for mon-
ey. In tho course OF a speech regarding
the provisions for superannuated Il minis
sers, Bishop Tuttle OF Missouri said II he
had his way he would have every minis
ter and every bishop married. A married
man is worth four single ones To the
church.

MfssutLA, Oct. 22.-The democratic
rally tonight was by far the greatest event
Of the campaign up TO the present time.
At7;'O o'clock the opera house was nearly
full. At 7:50 IL was packed and at men
we're standing out in the hall and on the
stairs, that being as near as they could ap-
pronch. shortly after 8 o'clock Governor
Toole arrived from the hotel and was es-
corted to the stage. His appearance was
the signal for cheer after cheer.
In few minutes he was introduced by
Hon. Walter ~. Bickford and the APP
plause broke out anew. He spoke for
about an hour when his throat become
quite sore and he was obliged TO stop. He
touched upon the Mckinley bill briefly
and then proceeded TO the silver question.
After recounting the history Of legis-
lation on that subject he turned his atien-
ton 10 Carter's record and dissected il
from his vote for Speaker Reed 10 the
Boatner pair and the excuses he gave for
these excuses, first that Boatner Is a gold
bug; that falsehood had been clearly ex-
posed; Carter's second and more I'M
proved tale Of woe about pairing with
Boatner was because the latter was
called home by sickness in his family.
The speaker took all the pathos
out of Mr.. Carter's story in
telling Of this latest and most improved
excuse. The vote on June had no bear
ing on free coinage. That excuse too was
spoiled before Governor Toole leftit.
Then the speaker Droceeded 20 the force

PLANNING FOR THE FAIR.
Efforts to he Made To Make An Attractive
Oriental Exhibit.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA joint meeting Of
the foreign affairs committee Of the
Worlds Columbian commission met at
the Gilsey house to-day. There were also
present four members of the foreign ex-
hibit committee. The time was occupied
principally with the accommodation by
W. Z. Curtis Of the state department, that
army and navy officers should be de-
tailed TO South American countries to do
their utmost towards making the
exhibits from those countries what they
should be. This he thought could
be accomplished through the secre-
tary OF state. He also suggests the
establishment Of bureau at WASH
ington and read n letter from Secretary
Blaine urging the importance Of the mat
ter and stating TWAS not at all over-esti-
mated.
The subject OF the appointment Of COM
missiouers 10 South American countries
was referred 10 a subcommittee.
Professor Adler Of Johns Hopkins uni-
yersity was appointed To superintend the
plan submitted by him and approved by
the commissioners for securing large
exhibit from the Orient.

who arrived here tonight, II appears that
the wreck was due to the carelessness OF
the crew of The freight train. This train
was instructed TO wait at Sloan's Valley
until passenger trains 3 and had passed.
The wait was long one. and all OF the
crew Of the freight train went TO sleep.
Engineer Pimlott wakened up just after
No. . passed, and, assuming il was No.
and that the road was clear, aroused the
crew and the train went on.
The approach to both ends OF the tun-
mel is sharply curved and within 100 feet
Of the mouth OF II the trains met. Only
the sleeper and one coach OF the passen-
ger train were saved. The train hands
and the passengers pushed them back ON
the track.
The flames started few minutes after
the collisions aud the wooden lining of the
tunnel is still burning tonight.
A brave man. whose name has not been
learned, hearing the cries of George Long
in the baggage car, seized an axe, cut a
hole in the car and rescued Long.
In the express compartment OF the car
was L. p. Rutfner, United States ex-
press messenger. The unknown
hero worked hard to cut a
way for Rufrner TO escape
although the flames were darting
about him. The effort was futile and
Rufncr finally shouted from his prison to
60 away and save himself and TO say
goodbye to his family.
The unknown hero staggered out OF the
tunnel with his hair and clothing sadly
scorched and fell down in faint. None
of the men In the excitement thought of
learning his name but il is believed he is
a railroad man.
Others of the trainmen had wonderful
escapes. II is miraculous that any of the
passengers escaped without injury.
