Street Car Accident.

CLEVELAND, Sept. GA frightful &C.
cident occurred at the Wilson avenue
crossing of the New York, Chicago & st.
Louis railroad, in this city about 7:3O
o'clock tonight, by which at least a
dozen persons were terribly injured,
ONE of them fatally. The crossing is
on a steep grade, down which runs the
electric street railroad line. At the time
the accident occurred a freight train was
standing close to the crossing on the
south track. An electric motor drawing
one car was approaching from the south.
The safety gates were up and the road
apparently clear. Just as the motor had
crossed the railroad track, a locomotive
running about twenty miles an hour
dashed out from behind the freight
train. The pilot of the engine struck
the electric train between the motor and
train car, tearing them apart and hur-
ling one on each side of the track. At
least a score of persons we're on the trail
car, and they were tumbled about in all
feet away and others piled under the car
which was demolished. The street rail-
road barns were close to the scene of the
accident, and a rescuing party was soon
on hand. The victims we're taken from
the wreck and hurried away in ambu-
lances to hospitals within a short space
of time. All of them were so badly in
jured they had to be carried from the
wreck. The following is the list of in
jured as obtained from various hospitals:

BlOndin OutdOne.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, Sept. 6.-The
great Blondin and all other tight-rope
walkers were outdone this afternoon by
a plucky resident OF Toronto, S. J. Dix
on, who walked a cable seven-eighths of
an inch in diameter, stretched across the
Niagara gorge between the suspension
and cantilever bridges. True to his an
nouncement, he appeared at the Cana
dian end of the cable at 1928 o'clock,
starting at 800 and reaching the Ameri-
can side at 3:424. On his way across
he stuck one leg out at a quarter and
three-quarters of the distance and lay
down in the center of the cable. At
least 5000 people witnessed the feat.
The wire on which Dixon crossed to-day
is the Il on which Stephen Peer walked
on June %, 1887, and below which his
lifeless body was found a week later.
1t is supposed Peer, while intoxicated,
attempted to walk the wire after dark
and fell to the rocks below. Prof. Deler,
the well-known rope walker, attempted
to cross on the cable in the summer of
1883, but after walking out about thirty
feet, he slid down a rope and took the
hrst train for parts unknown. Dixon
says he will return here next June and
give a three-days' performance. He will
then arrange an attractive program,
walking the cable after dark and giving
a pyrotechnic display from the wire and
bridges.

MORE DISRUPTION.
Vicc-President Bryan Of the Worlds
Fair Directory Resigns His
Position.
He Defends Himself Against the
Charges Which Have Been Made
Against Him.
The Tariff Bill Will Probably Come
to a Final Vote in the Sem
ate Wednesday.
Bryan Resigns,

CHICAGO, Sept. Sin a somewhat tart
letter, Vice President T. B. Bryan of the
Worlds Fair directory resigned his posi-
ton this evening. He also resigned as
director. Bryan has taken a prominent
part in the Worlds Fair movement from
the very start, and his sudden resigna-
ton caused no small commotion. Bry-
ans letter opens with a brief paragraph
that the coming election of director gen.
eral should relieve the directory from
the necessity of having and paying for
the services of an active vice president.
The letter then continues through sew
eral pages of type written copy wholly
devoted to a ~self-defense of Bryan
against the charges that he got $4,000
to go to Georgia and did not get the vote
of a single congressman from Georgia
for Chicago; that Bryan sent his son to
Sweden for information which any con-
sui OF this country could have furnished,
and that the gentleman who has been Sc
lected for director general, and who has
been log-rolling for Jackson Park sites,
got $4,000 for going to Paris for infor-
nation that was already available in
Chicago. Bryan denies that the mis-
sions to Paris or Sweden cost the direc-
tory a cent, and declares that he not only
got no money for the Georgia trip, but
that he never made such a journey.
The charges Bryan ascribes to a state
resident in Chicago.

Goodwin Was There.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 9.-The inter-
state temperance convention met in this
city this forenoon and was called to or
der by G. A. Atkinson, of Lincoln, presi-
dent. The convention was not largely
attended, as it is based upon a repre-
sentation of only one delegate to every
10000 citizens in the five states of Kan
sas, Iowa, Nebraska and the two Dakotas.
President Atkinson made an appropriate
address and was followed by Judge J. B.
cessna, of Hastings, Neb. Committees
were appointed and recess
taken. In the afternoon Chief
Justice Horton, of Kansas, spoke
as did also Attorney-G General Goodwin of
North Dakota. The convention has no
special political significance other than
the banding together Of the prohibition
workers in the states named for a united
effort on behalf of the amendment in
Nebraska. Two open air meetings we're
held this evening which were addressed
by the leading lights in attendance at
the convention. p.

A Crazy Police man.

New York, Sept. 6.-Bleeker street
was crowded with pedestrians at l p. M.
to-day, when Policeman Edward J. Swee-
ney, crazy drunk, ran out of the bar
room of the Madeira house and sent five
bullets in succession into the throng of
people. The people fled in all direc-
tions panic-stricken. D. B. Ragin
rushed out of his house at the first shot
and was instantly stretched on the side
walk with a bullet in his side. He was
taken to st. Vincent's hospital. A po-
liceman ran up and Sweeney, turning
hastily to flee, fell heavily and broke his
leg. The policeman was taken a pris-
one to the hospital. It was Sweeney
day off. He went to the Madeira hotel
to meet a woman and when he did not
find her, fired his revolver at a mirror
ana shattered it. He then rushed into
the street and fred at random in his
crazy fit.

Dun's Review of Trade.

New YORK, Sept. Ar. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Another failure, that of Sawyer, Wallace
& Co., comes at a time when the effect Of
the Potter Lowell failure at Boston prove
more disturbing than was expected.
The prospect of a speedy action on the
tariff bill in the senate and considerably
better sales by clothing dealers, have
made wool manufacturers more hopeful,
and the purchases of wool are larger at
Boston, reaching 3,100,060 pounds. But
concessions have been made to secure
sales on many grades, the money market
pressing, and it is noticed there and at
Philadelphia that buyers act still with
great caution. Accounts of trade from
all parts of the country are encouraging
this week. It is the prevailing belief
that the second order by the treasury to
purchase bonds insures a fairly easy
money market for fall. Trade in all
branches taken together, is certainly
more than 10 per cent. greater than at
this time last year, exclusive of specula-
tive operation.

Nearing the End.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-When the SEN
ate took a recess this afternoon it was
the expectation of Aldrich, in charge of
the tariff bill, that it would be ordered
to it's third reading in time to reach a
final vote before adjournment tomorrow,
but there are some amendments to the
bill to be offered in the senate Git is now
being considered in committee of the
whole) and Senator German does not be-
lieve it possible to reach a vote before
Wednesday. By an arrangement made
to-day Aldrich and Carlisle, who have
been in charge Of the tariff bill for their
respective sides, will reserve their formal
speeches upon the measure until the re-
port Of the conference committee is pre-
sented. They are both so worn out by
the strain of the past few weeks that the
preparation of speeches is impossible
before the vote on the passage of the bill
is reached. The six hours of general de-
bate which is to precede that vote, will
be occupied by Ingalls,, Hiscock and
Jones for the republicans, and Vest,
Vance and Turpie for the democrats.
AND CASEY, TOO.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Sat the evening
session Casey addressed the senate in
favor of the reciprocity proposition.

IN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT
To Wreck an Express Train on the New
York. Central Railroad.

To Wreck al Express Train On the New
York, Central Railroad.
PoUGHKEEps1E, N. Y, Sept. S.-A des-
perate attempt was made tonight to
wreck the fast st. Louis and Chicago ex-
press which leaves New York on the
New York Central at 6 p. m. The train
was stopped for a danger signal south Of
Old Troy, which is 500 yards south of
New Hamburg drawbridge. Two min
utes previous the fagman had discovered
several ties standing endwise in a cnlvert
near Old Troy, and when he took hold of
one of them to remove it he was fired
upon from bushes on the east side of the
track. Knowing that the fast express
was nearly due he ran southwark and set
the danger signal, which stopped tie
train. The hagman said the ties stuck
above the rails and would have certainly
thrown the train from the track. The
fast train was composed of seven or
eight sleeping cars, all full, two ordinary
coaches and a baggage car.

Indignation Over Kennedy's Attack.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Much indigna-
ton exists among republican senators over
Representative Kennedy's attack upon the
senate as a whole and Senator Quay in
particular yesterday. Several consulta-
tions lave been held, but no plan of action
has been agreed upon. A prominent SEN
ator familiar with parliamentary prece-
dents and practices, when asked what
would be the proper course to be pursued,
said that if it were decided to do anything,
that if, after a time, the house took no ac-
ton, the senate should pass a resolution.
courteous in tone, calling the attention
of the house to the supplementary
proceeding and then leave it to deal
with the question as it saw fit. But this
action would depend upon the manner in
which knowledge of the delivery of the
speech reached the senate. kennedy'3 re-
marks do not appear in tO-day's Congress
sional Record, the reporter noting that
they ''are withheld for revision" Unles,
they come before the senate in the Record or
some other authoritative way, it may be
that nothing will be done. Senator Quay
knew nothing of the delivery of the speech
until this morning, and after his arrival at
the senate he conferred with several of his
Senator Ingalls,. He said to a reporter
that he had not determined
what course of action to pursue.
Burrows, who was in the chair when
the speech was delivered, was the object
of criticism at the hands of some members
because of his failure to check the speaker,
but he justified himself by the statement
that it had been the invariable custom of
the presiding officer to refrain from pass
ing judgment upon the utterances of a
member until some member calls his atten-
ton to the alleged breach of rules. Ken
nedy this afternoon said he did not believe
he said anything that actually constituted
a violation of the rules or of propriety. lie
added that he had not yet had an oppor.
tunity to revise his speech, and until he
had that opportunity it would be with.
held from the record but no longer. Mean.
while the impression is Oh the floor of the
house that the Objectionable features OF
the speech, if there were any in a parlia'
mentary sense, will be eliminated before
it is published, and hat the matter will
there end.

THE SITE
There Is q Possibility the Worlds Fair
Will BE Held on the Lake Front.

There Is n Possibility the Worlds Fair
Will BE Held on the Lake Front.
CHICAGO, Sept. Gan evening paper
says: 1t looks as though the major part
of the worlds fair will be held Oh the
lake front after all. Heretofore difficult
ties in the way of an agreement being
reached between the exposition directors
and the Illinois Central railroad people
have seemed insuperable. These, in the
opinion of the directors, have been over
COM at last. The Illinois Central Off
Gals have sent to the committee on
grounds and buildings a letter in which
the company agrees practically to all the
conditions land down at the outset. In
this note, on which it is understood the
Illinois Central people are all agreed, the
company consents to the use of the lake
front east of it's tracks for worlds fair
purposes, and agree to the piling and
filling in of the lake and to a satisfactory
arrangement of its tracks during the ex-
position. 1t IS further stipulated that
should the supreme court decide the suit
now pending before it regarding the lake
front and riparian rights in favor of the
company, the latter will reimburse the
exposition company for the cost of the
work. In such event, also, the road
agrees to give the exposition corpora
ton the use of the ground rent free, and
to allow II years time after the close of
the exposition for removal of buildings.
The new proposition received from the
Illinois railroad is as follows: A strip of
the lake shore 500 feet in width, running
from the south side of jackson street
south to Park row, will be piled, giving
the total acreage hat will be used sew
enty acres. The Illinois Central agrees
to wall in it's tracks and construct via
ducts over them. The cost is estimated
at half a million dollars, which they
agree to pay. 1t was also rumored that
a large majority of the directors present
were in favor of the proposition, mas
much as it would not be necessary for
them to take back the site already ten
dered to the national commission.

He did not know that anybody was dis
missed because he was a Knight of

years. Bissell discharged him, but
gave no reasons, telling him he

was because he was a Knight. He had
never been reprimanded, suspended. &C.
