At 7:15 O'clock on the evening of the
l7ths as the Glendale accommodation,
bound for Cincinnati, was leaving the
station near College Hill Junction, the
Chicago vestib ule train ran into the rear
of the accommodation. There were
three passenger Gals of the Glendale
train, containing about seventyfve
people. The locomotive Of the Chicago
vestibuled train ran halfway through
the rear car of the accommodation, pill
ing the passenger cars In a heap, and
setting them on fire. The locomotive
Of the accommodation was not derailed.
The fire department and patrol wagons
were allied from Cincinnati and the fire
was extinguished.
Charles Nelson, general superin-
tendent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton Railway, makes statement OF
the killed and wounded which TALES
with most trustworthy news gathered by
telephone. According to this five per-
sons were killed. The dead are:
John Wilson, uperintendent of the
metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
OF Cincinnati, residence, Winton Place
F. W. Witherbee, conductor Of the ves-
thule train, residence, Toledo; James
Staley, aged 40, baggagemaster of the
vestlbule, Day ton. o. William Klamitz,
aged 10, a plumber, Carthage, Mo-; an
unknown woman.
The injured are: William Coagley,
engineer of the accommodation, and
George MCGEE, fireman, both of whom
jumped from the train.
The accommodation had stopped al
Winton place, and had Just pulled ou-
and rounded curve when the vestit
bule came laundering past. Side tracks
at that place obscured the engineer e
view till he got within 200 yards or less
of the train in front. He reversed the
engine, turned on the air brakes and
jumped. His was the Strong engine

keeps an engineer with that engine all
the time, but he never turns a throttle.
A picked engineer in the employ of the
road does that. This extra engineer
did not jump. He sat like statue on
his seat and was not hurt, not even
scratched. Not a passenger and not a
car on the vestibule was hurt.
In the accommodation were thirty
passengers, nearly all in the front car.
The killed and injured were in the rear
car, which was combination baggage
and smoker. The blow of the vestibule
smashed this car, and piled up the next
two in front of it in a common wreck,
and the two rear cars burned up.

s. Braden, superintendent of the gov
eminent assay office of that city, was
COW hided on the street by Mrs. l.. IL.
Hirshtield, wife of the banker recently
brought into prominence as strong
Republican candidate tor the United
States Senate. Itappears that Braden has
been paying attentions to the daughter
of the banker, and his suit bad been re-
iected. He persisted in forcing his at
tention until the young lady's patience
was exhausted, and she appealed to her
mother, who gave Braden to under
stand that he must cease his open dem
constructions Of admiration. Since that
time Bradeu, it is alleged, has
INDUCED in remarks detrimental
to tue young lady's character.
Mrs. Hirshfeld heard of the SANDERS
and sought Braden with a horse whip,
and administered severe thrashing
She also had a revolver which, it is
thought, she intended to use in case
Braden resisted the assault. the HiTsh-
field family is in the highest esteem in
Helena, and the community generally
indorse her act. The affair is the reign
ing sensation of the hour, and Is likely
to result in Braden's dismissal from the
government service.

A Meritorious Institution.

At Chicago, on the 10th, the mems
department of d. L. Moody's new Evan
gelization Institute was opened with
addresses by Mr.. Moody and several
rominent local clergymen. Large num-
bers of people visited the building. The
institute will aim to train missionaries to
get at the unreached masses in the city
and country. The idea as announced
is to turn out aggressive men to 60 into
gambling dens and slums, and among
the abandoned classes. Accommodations
have been provided for 100 students.
The training is to be largely through
contact under guidance with the actual
work. The cost of the binding was
Sl25,0O0, and was met chiefly by we'll
known Chicago business men. In addi-
ton to the regular corps of instructors
the plan is to have present continuous
succession OF prominent Bible teachers
from centers in this country and Eu-
rope. Fifty men were started in the
course OF instruction.. They were from
widely scattered states, from Canada,
and quite a percentage from across the
Atlantic.

Richie, who murdered Billy A1nrine at

broke jail three months later in COM

Hundreds of dollars have been spent

Amrine. Several prisoners escaped at
the time of the jail delivery, but all of
them except Richie were caught. For
several months many citizens were firm
IN the belief that Richie was not out
side of the city limits. They thought
that the friends of the murderer among
the tough class, which is very
numerous, and which is in hearty
sympathy with Richie, were harboring
him in some safe place in the town. A

yesterday that the weather has pushed
the fish season ahead OF. time just about
six weeks. Among the summer fish we
are already handling are spots, Spanish
mackerel and trout. This month we
have had trout that were caught in the
Rappahannock River. They usually
come about April. Yesterday we got
shad from the Chesapeake Bay that are
at least six weeks ahead of time. We
got some from North Carolina that
should, in the regular course OF things,
have come next month, and since last
Friday We have Rad 5000 shad from
Florida. At this time of the year we
ought to be selling lake fish fiom the
West, but we are not, as the others are
