sr LOUIS, Sept iS-The little town OF La
throp Mo-. is all torn up over . church scandal.
The Rev. Dr.. Carmichael is pastor of the Baptist
church. to which all the prominent people IN
the town and vicinity belong. His wife, Mrs.
Carmichael was very prominent two months
ago in the raids on saloons made by women.
Immediately after these raids the enemies of
the leader of the ladies convinced her husband
that she had been unfaithful to him. He
brought suit and got divorce. About half OF
the members of the church espoused the cause
of the preachers wife, while the rest stood by
the preacher. A meeting was held last
night and charges were made against warm
friends of Mrs Carmichael. The accused were
taken completely by surprise. They were
charged with characterization. uphoding an ex-
cluded member. aud sssocisting with IN adul-
tress. All of them were expelled from the
church with very little ceremony. Pastor Car
michaeis faction had a majority of only two
over the Mrs. Carmichael faction. Every Bap-
tist woman's character is getting hauling over
by the gossips, and several slander suits are
likely to follow. The evidence against Mrs.
Carmichael has never amounted to more than
suspicion, and is not thought to be susceptible

CHICAGO, Sept. 2l.-A terrible railroad acci-
dent occurred in the southwestern portion of
the city shortly after dark this evening. A Chi
cago, Burlington & Q iincy suburban train
dashed into an Illinois Central excursion re-
turning from outside the city. The collision
resulted in fearful tragedy. For q
time the confusion was so great
tnat even approximate idea of
the loss was impossible to obtain.
The first report from the police had it that forty
people had probably met death, while the rail-
road officials said only two or three persons
were certainly known to have been killed
Within half an hour, however, five corpses had
been dragged out OF the heap of broken timbers
and twisted iron that marked the spot where
the collision had taken place. By this time it
had also been ascertained that at leest three
people were seriously injured and six others
slightly.
The collision took place near Douglas park,
and the victims were Sunday excursionists, just
reaching the city on the way home from an
outing. The Burlington train crew, when
questioned, asserted that they passed Millard
avenue under q clear signal Millard avenue is
only short distance from whore the smash-up
occurred, and the Burlington crew claim
that. when the crash came the red
lights on the rear end of the Tli-
nois Central train were showing with
extreme dimness To this the fearful result was
attributed without hesitation. Other people
state that the Burlington train was behind time
and running at a reckless rate. and to this was
due the fact that the engineer could not sop
when ne saw the Illinois Central light. The
latter train was blocked and waiting to be re-
leased. The dead are:
LILLY DYNER.
MARTHA DYNER,
OTTo SCHLoErF, aged IL.
Two men, unknown.
The fatally injured are:
LENA REIsIEG,
MINNIE PILGRIM,
EDDIE THORPE.
In addition to this several others were more or
less severely bruised, and some of them had
limbs fractured. The conductor and engineer
of the train have been arrested.

NEW YORK. Sept 1s.-Cleveland says. regard

more effective than Secretary Blsine's exposure
of Democratic inconsistency in opposing reci-

in reality a powerful a.junct to protection in ITS
broadest aspects. Secretary Blaine wary pro-

A LESSON IN POLITENEss.

LONDON, Sept 2L-Colonel James Pepper. Of
Pepper whisky fame, who has been on his we'd
ding tour in Europe, sailed with his wife on the
Servia for New York, followed by tina blessings
of the many American visitors In London who
have stopped at the Hotel Metropole. The en-.
pleyes of the establishment have never been
noted for courtesy to American guests, ana this
has been the case during the present season It
was reserved for Colonel Pepper 20 INTRODUCES

from the theaser one night this week. Mrs-
Pepper Of once got into the elevator, while her
husband stepped up to the desk for his key,
the night clerk, q particularly haughfy ard
pompous person, was talking to an Engiisnman
close to the key board, and though Colonel Pep
per asked him three or four times for the key,
the clerk paid not the slightest attention until
he had finished his conversation Pepper took
this calmly, but when he got into the elevator
the Englishman who had been talking to the
clerk said:
II beg your pardon, but think ron reslly

The coloneps Kentucky blood suddenly rose
to boiling heat He sprang from the elevator
and whipped huge pistol from his pocket.
..Come out from behind that desk" ne shout-

The clerk came, and he came running like
the wind, perspiring with terror. His face IVES
ashen, and though he was trying 10 speak, his
lips moved like the jaws of expiring trout
and no sound came from them. Fifty people in
the great corridors rushed up to see what was
the matter.
.Get down on your knees" commanded Pep
per in an awful voice, relspsing into the KEN

returned last night. They brought back Ben
Jones, the suspected man, whom they found ut
cabin on Divide creek. He does not answer
the description given by Willard, and although
Willard still sticks to his sensational story of
the murder. they have evidently made case
OF mistaken identity In the arrest of Jones' In
personal appearance Jones is anything but
criminal, ami would not be regarded as a man
who shot another in cold blood.
The officers, in conducting the search. and
trying to gain knowledge, experienced much
dlmcuity In getting the people residing in the
vicinity to talk when asked. They would call
the officers aside and confess that they were
aware OF the existence of a band OF horse
thieves and desperadoes in the mountains, but
owing to q fear of the criminals they did no;
care to make themselves conspicuous in ferret.
ing them out and assisting in their arrest They
did not consider such acton conducive TO their
personal safety nor the safety of their stock
The condition of the country in that vicinity if
the stories of the officers are true is similar 10
that of the people of Clay county, Missouri,
during the palmy days of the James boys The
people seem completely awed and afraid, on &C.
count of personal danger, to openly assist the
officers, though they would readily do SO in
secret, if assured that their action in the matter
would not be made known.
The indications found by the sheriff all tend
TO confirm the story OF the commission of a
murder, but who perpetrsted the deed, or who
the unfortunate victim was, has thus far eluded
solution. The officers made diligent search for
the body. but as there are so many places in
that section where it could be secreted, their
efforts were unav6tling and they returAei with.
out having gained any specific information.
Sheriff Lloyd Will send out a posse of twelve
or fifteen men tomorrow, with instructions 70

murder to the remotest confines in the noun
