WALLA WALLA, WASH, Sept. 81
Through gentleman from Pendleton,
the news was received this morning of
a fearful railroad disaster. which oc-
Cured at Waucanza. Idaho. eight miles
east of Shoshone, on the Oregon Short
Line, at O'Clock on Friday morning.
This station is the passing point for
the Union Pacific fast mail trains.
The east-bound train pulled into
the station on time, and was
side-tracked. A minute later the west
bound train ran in. The switch to the
main track was closed. and it ran ahead
on into the east-bound, telescoping the
train and wrecking both engines. The
informant says the passenger cars were
all smashed. The work of rescue was
at once commenced. When he left
twenty dead bodies had been
taken out. and it was thought
that there were more in the
wreck. Fridays trains were all aban-
doned. Passengers from all points this
side were delayed, as there was no train
run out from Huntington that day.
HUNTINGTON, Or. Sept. 27.-There
was wreck yesterday ON the Oregon
Short Line, but, as far as known, no per-
son was killed.
PORTLAND, Or. Sept. 27.-At the
Union Pacific railroad Office in this city
nothing is known of the reported wreck
on the Oregon Short Line railroad near
Shoshone, Idaho. Shoshone is on the
Idaho division, the headquarters of
which are at Pocatello. Idaho. The Off
cials here were notified that the west
bound train, due here at $40 a. m. to-
day, Twas delayed at Huntington. Or, but
claim that they were not advised as to
the cause Of the delay. The east-bound
train left here Thursday morning and
carried large number of passengers.

With the exception of the foreman.
the meu injured were Greeks, with no
families so far as known. The acci-
dent occurred at what BIS known as
"Gallery Row" in Allegheny City,
where twelve three-st0ry frame houses
were being torn down to make room for
more improved buildings. All but two
of the houses were taken down when it
was seen that the standard manufacur-
ing building just next to the retaining
wall was pushing against this
brick wall, and that the latter was tot
tering as result of the braces having
been removed. The alarm was given,
but too late. and the entire length fell
with crash, burying the six men. The
noise, dust and shrieks of the injured
men created the report that the immense
Standard manufacturing building had
fallen, but this was happily unfOInded.

W. w. Nutting was to-day asked for a
statement concerning his relationship
with Miss Allie Mills. He wrote a
lengthy article trying to make light of
the scandal, but confessed that he had
kissed the young lady. In his written

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Sept. H.-Just
four years ago last Easter Sunday Clin-
ton j. Edgerly, son of the president of
the Massachusetts Life Insurance, was
Jersey City. To-day their bonds of
matrimony were dissolved by Judge
Aitkens, Of this city. MIR. Edgerly, who
is thlrty-two years of age, came to this
city four months ago. and shortly after
wards applied for a divorce from
his famous wife. alleging deser-
ton since June /, 1889. The evil
dence divulges the fact that a year
ago last April Mrs. Edgerly and her
husband were occupying fine quarters
in New York city and living in the
heIghth of fashion. One evening In
April, Edgerly repaired to mis- home and
met his wife in her parlor. They began
quarreling, and Mrs. Edgerly re-
the building. She declared she
didn't believe he cared for her, and one
word brought on another, resulting in
Rose leaving the next day for California.
where she remained for three months.
Since that time Edgerly has not
met bis wife. In the evidence
given by him he states that she is
addicted to strong drink and has
a very quarrelsome disposition, and
that she made life unbearable to him.
The conversation which resulted in the
separation was overheard by John b.
Miley, of New York, and his evidence
IN the case is given, corroborating that
of the husband. Mr. Edgerly is resi-
dent of this city, and has charge of his
fathers insurance interests for South
Dakota.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-Lord Sackville.
since his arrival from Washington. has
frequently expressed to Lord Salisbury
his desire for an appointment as ambas-
sador to one of the courts of Europe.
An attache of the British foreign office,
referring to the subject to-day, said:
ssThe recent action of Lord Sackville at
Stratford. has rendered any
such appointment out Of question. 1t is
now admitted that his lordship commit
ted an error as great as that which led
to his recall from Washington, and has
proved how unfit he is for position re-
ouiring tact, discretion and breadth
of view. 1t is thought also that possibly
his conduct at Stratford-on-Avon throws
some light upon the reasons which
led the late peer to make an
extraordinary will and to bequeatn
the bulk of his property to the
queens maids of honor. 1t is to be
hoped that, having gone so far as to
claim from the town council rent for
land occupied by the Shakespeare me-
mortal in the center of the Market
place, he will be not so illadvised to
prosecute the suit. The result would
only tend to the abolition of that per-
nicious system of copyhold tenure
which involves dual ownership of the
least advantageous charactern

TO BE TRIED TOGETHER.
n ationals Charged With Conspir-
aCy Score q Point,

DUBLIN, Sept. 27.-There is no abate-
ment OF interest in the trial Of the con-
spiracy cases against the Nationalist
leaders, now in progress at Tipperary.
The proceedings yesterday created avery
general impression that the government
was deliberately trying to prolong the
trial as far as possible. The adjourn
ment took place yesterday afternoon be-
fore Mr.. Roman, the crown prosecutor,
had finished his opening speech. AT the
outside this morning the speech was
concluded. 1t was the desire
of the crown prosecutor that
the cases should be tried
separately, % and til the magistrates
the proper course. To this the defend
ants unitedly objected, urging the court
to hear all the cases at once. The
magistrates at last yielded to the per-
sistency Of the defendants, and decided
III favor of the collective hearing.
Mr.. Roman was evidently disappointed
at this decision and was reluct-
ant to accept it. He declared that he
bowed to the decision of the magistrates
because he must, and said he would re-
frain from expressing any opinion of its
fairness. The Nationalists were con-
siderably elated at scoring this
pOAuts AAC lCdtuIC
of the morning was renewed
attack by the defendants on Magistrate
Shannon. 1t will be remembered that
Thursday both John Dillon and William
O'Brien protested against MIR. Shannon
sitting in the case, and gave reasons
why they thought he might be biased
in their judgments when they were con-
cerned. The peremptory manner in
which these protests were decided
OF no weight was very eXaSperating to
the Nationalist. They decided after
careful consultation to bring before the
court their objections to Mr.. Shannon in
more formal way. They prepared
with much care statement of the
reasons why the defendants severally
and collectively objected to being
tried before that magistrate. Their
statement was made in the form of an
affidavit, to which each of the defend
ants fixed his signature and took oath.
This joint affidavit the defendants took
into court with them this morning,
and. when a favorable mo ment
came. attempted to present it
to the bench. The NatiOnalists
who were in the secret were on the
alert to see what the effect of this bomb
had received no intimation of the de-
fendaDts' purpose. were taken COM
pletely by surprise. As soon as they
understood the nature of the document,
they peremptorily declined to re-
eeive it. Instantly Mr.. Roman. coun-
sci for the crown, was on his
feet denouncing the action of the de-
PENDANTS. 1t was difficult. he declared,
to find language strong enough fittingly
to characterize it. The document they
had sought to present to the magistrates
was an infamous libel on Mr.. Shannon.
Mr.. Shannon himself pronounced the
affidavit an ''attempt to make scandal
of justice" This expression was greeted
by the defendants with roarS of hilarious
laughter which was not easily checked,
despite the rebuke of the bench. When

The reporter freely and frankly told
Mr.. Nutting all the rumOrs that are In
circulation concerning him and Miss
Mills. and pointed out to him the fact
that his article was simply an attempts
to treat the matter as burlesque and
would not tend to allay the suspicious
which had been aroused in the mind OF
the public. He replied that that was
all he had to say or could say. and that
there was no truth in the rumOrS what
ever. He denied absolutely that he and
Miss Mills are married. Asked if he
and Miss Mills occupied the same room,
he said they did not, bat the reporter Id
assured by several persons who belong
at the hotel that one room has answered
their purpose most of the time since the
report of their marriage was published.
Asked if he had wife living, be re-

from her husband, he declined to state,
He admitted that he thought great
deal of Miss Mills and had kissed her
several times, but that there was moth
ing wrong between them, and thought
his past life should be sufficient
answer to all rumors against him.
