CREssoN. Pa. Sept 21.-The presi-
dent felt somewhat fatlgued to-day
after his quite lively experience in
the coal regions of Central Pennsylvania
yesterday, and was compelled to decline
a pressing Invitation to attend divine
service in the Presbyterian church at

ment of hundreds of people from the
surrounding country, who had assem-
bled there in anticipation of his coming.
He took walk with Mrs. Dimmick in
the forenoon and drive with Mrs. Har-
rison and Mrs. Mckee in the afternoon.
The day was spent very quietly, and
there were not over dozen persons

KILLED AND BURNED.
Awful Wreck on a Railway i'm
Iowa.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, To-, Sept. 2l.-A
fnghtful railroad accident occurred on
the Omaha & st. Louis railroad about
seven miles south of this city this morn
ing between 2:25 and 2:3O O'Clock. A
north-bound freight train with eighteen
loaded cars, which arrived here from
st. Louis at 2:45 O'clock, broke through
a trestlework fifty feet high. When
the train ran on the east end of the
trestle the engineer discovered that the
west end was on fire. He signalled for
breaks, reversed the throttle of the en-
gine and dropped sand ON the rails, but
the running of the train was at twenty
five miles an hour, and it was
doomed, and as it struck the
burning timber there was a crash
and the entire train went through to the
bottom of the gulch. The trestlework
was 500 feet long, and the train went
through about fifty feet from the west
end. News of the wreck did not reach
Council Bluffs until 4 o'clock. Relief
trans were sent out as soon as possible,
but when they arrived upon the scene
the train was burning. Twelve cars
were destroyed. The killed are:
Martin Eskridge, engineer, of Stanberry, Mo,
Joseph Burke, fireman, of Stanberry Mo.
X. s. Williamson, head brakeman, Ma
con, Mo.
The badly of the engineer has not vet
been recovered. That of the fireman
was burned to ashes, while the brake
man had fractured skull and a broken
limb. The accident was one of the
most horrible ever known in this vicin-
ity. The wreck is total, and it will be
several days before the debris is cleared
and the trestle repaired.

HELENA, Mont, Sept. 20.-The
steamer Bozeman was launched at the
city of that name in Eastern Montana
Friday, and yesterday Commodore r. G.
Hit started on a trip to the coast of
Florida. The steamer was built of
mountain fir within the shadow of the
mountain where the timber grew. She
is % feet long, feet beam, depth of
hold 80 inches. She Is a screw pro-
peller, with marine engine and boiler one
and half horse power. She has cabin
accommodation for three, and rides the
water like a duck. The object of the
trip the commodore keeps secret, but
it is believed the expedition has some
thing to do with scientific treatise on
the subject of shallow river navigation
and river obstruction now in the course
of construction. The steamer was
launched at a point stones throw
from the fountainhead of the Missouri,
400 miles above the head of navigation.
A portage will be made around the
great falls of the Missouri, and then the
vessel will have clear sailing to the

THEY WORKED SUNDAY.
The Tariff Conferrees Rushing
Their Work.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The Repub-
lican conferrees On the tariff bill have
been in session all day to-day, endeav-
oring to complete the work upon which
they are engaged. Tonight one of
them said that he was very
we'll satisfied with the progress that had
been made. The conferrees, he said, had
decided that it would be unwise to make
any statement respecting the status of
any one of the schedules, the changes
that had been made either i'm rates or
phraseology, for the reason that as
a matter of absolute fact none
of them were beyond the
power of recall. Many items had been
agreed upon, he said, which would
probably stand as agreed to, but which
were all liable to change and, there
fere, nothing definite could be stated as
to what the committee had done. The
work Of the committee was like putting
up row of bricks, as children do in
play. The disarrangement of single
brick would result in the disarrange-
ment of the entire line, and
until the matter was finally settled
and the report signed a definite state
ment could not be given. 1t was report
ed IN the afternoon that the conferrees
had finished their work and that the
bill would be reported tomorrow. The
gentleman was asked If this was the
case, and he said it positively was not.
The best that could be done in his esti-
nation, would be to finish the report by
Tuesday night and have it ready to take
to the house on Wednesday morning.

CURE FOR PHTHISIS.
Prof Koch Announces the Partial
Discovery of a Remedy for Com

Prof. Koch Announces the Partial
Discovery of a Remedy for Com
sumption.
New York Herald.
In his recent address at the BerIh.
medical congress, DR.. Robert Koch, the
eminent bacteriologist, aroused much
interest by the announcement that the
near future might witness the develop
ment of method for the prevention
and cure Of pulmonary consumption.
AS reported by the Medical Record. DR..
Koch said that she had not only succeed
ed in comforting upon guinea pigs,
which are known to be peculiarly sus-
ceptible to tuberculosis, perfect i'm
munity against the disease, but had also
discovered means of avertlng the growth
and multiplication Of tubercle bacilli
after inoculation."
The promise implied in these words
is of startling importance to the world.
Should DR.. Koch succeed in perfecting
a method of curing and preventing
phthisis in man, as he apparently thinks
he has already done, his discovery will
meet with cordial recognition by the
medical profession. For he belongs to
that profession in which the esprit du
corps is strong, though really he is
more a physicist than physician. and
more expert i'll strictly scientific re-
search than in mere clinical practice.
There is happily, therefore. much
more reason to hope that his intimation
of coming cure for tuberculosis will
not prove disappointing, and that when
published it will not encounter as much
opposition from doctors as Pasteur's
hydrophOba cure. Should the hope
thus awakened be realized even i'll
part, DR.. Koch's discovery, in its inl-
pOrtance to the human race, will be Sec
ond to no discovery of the nineteenth or
any other century. The world will
wait with profound interest for furthe1
tidings from the German phycicist.

WILD BILLS GRAVE.
Salutes Fired by Frontiersmen in
Honor of His Memory.

SaluteS Fired by ErOntierSmen in
Honor of His Memory.
Chicago Herald
There has been another red letter day
IN the history of Deadwood That was
the day on which Wild Bill was killed
by McCaull. Though popular man,
Bill was dead shot, and McCaull could
not have killed him if he had not ap-
preached him treacherously. McCaull
was Immediately locked up, but
the excitement became so great
that mob assembled for the
purpose of trying, convicting and
lynching him. While the proceed
ings were in full progress the clatter oE
hOofs was heard and man on horse
back appeared riding at full speed with
his relnS in his teeth and with rifle in
one hand and an Indians dripping
head in the other. He had shot and
killed the Indian just outside of Dead
wood, and the event was considered of
so much Importance that the crowd for
got its lynching and proceeded to graf
ify its thirst for vengeance by contem-
its feet. McCaull was afterward taken
to Yankton, where ne was hanged by
the neck in a lawful manner.
Wild Bill was buried in the old cemC-
terry with a rude white board at his
head, but five years later some of his
friends eXhumed the body and gave it
proper burial in the new cemetery at
Mount Moriah. 1t was reported at that
time that Wild Bills body had been
turned to stone, and man came here
not long afterward and offered the I'M
dertaker $4,000 if he would help him
steal it for the purpose of exhibition.
Since then there have been many i'll
QulrieS about the case, but no one here
believes that the body was petrified.
Bill'S new grave on the noun tain top
shows that it is the resort of many curl
Osity seekers. A path is worn across
lots to it from the main wagon road
and kthe white head board has been
whitfield away by relic hunters until it
resembles a big toothpick. One man
appears to have worked knot out Of
the board, and the ground all about the
well-beaten grave Is covered with cart
ridge shells. There are frontiersmen,
it appears, who show their regard for
BilPs memory by standing upon his
grave and emptying their revolYers into
the air, throwing away their cartridge
shells as they reload. The other day
the city marshal found it necessary to
run in one of these fellows, who had
done little else for week except shoot
his revolver over Wild Bill's grave. The
man appeared to have genuine regard
for the dead mans memory, and as he
submitted to arrest he expressed his
sense of the outrage in most forcibie

FORM AN ASSOCIATION.
New Organization of Northwestern
Engineers and Conductors.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-An important
ors of the Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way system was formed at meeting
held at the Briggs house this afternoon.
The name of the new organization
is the Association of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and the Order of
Railway Conductors. II. E. Wills, of
Clinton, To-, was chosen for chairman.
This association" said MIR. Wills,
twill not interfere in any manner with
the rules or workings of either
OF the two bodies it comprises.
1t was formed for the mutual bene-
fit of both the engineers and conduct
tors, and is designed to ensure perma-
nent good feeling between them. The
formation of the association must not
be taken as an indication that there is
any trouble brewing. On the con-
trary, there is the best of feeling be-
tween the employees and the manage
ment of the Northwestern system. The
details OF the platform upon which we
have united cannot be made public at
present, and it would not be of interest
to the public anyhow.
us it part of the platform of the asso-
citation that in case of strike by the en-
gineerS Gney Will receive the moral sup
port of the Order of Railway Conduct
Ors and that the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers will indorse any
strike inaugurated by the conductors? !"
''Of course the two orders are expect
ed to act in harmony, but our aim will
always be to unite in endeavoring to
secure any just concessions without re-
sorting to strike. In fact, one of the
objects of this combination is to make
strikes unnecessary"
"How many members has the new
association"
"Well. it embraces the engineers
brotherhood and the conductors order.
each of which has a membership of
about 2,000 on the Northwestern system,
which embraces the Chicago & North
western, the st. Paul, Minneapolis d
Omaha, and the Fremont, ElkhOrn d
Missouri Valley railroads. or about 1000
miles of roadway"

How Do You Register?

Washington Post.
There is nothing that the average
bridegroom so much desires to avoid as
a disclosure of the fact of his recent
marriage. Not that he is::at all ashamed
of it. Oh, no! But there is a shyness
about him which induces him to con-
ceal the fact. This is shown especially
at the bridegroom's first visit to the
hotel on his bridal tour. The other
evening young man walked briskIy
up to the desk in one of the hotels in
this city, and, with very badly as
sumed air of nonchalance, registered,
''Mr, and Mrs. -" A room was as
signed him, and when he was out of
hearing the clerk leaned over the desk,
and, cOnfdentially speaking to several
acquaintances standing there, said:
Just married"
"How do you know?" was asked
''Oh, you never see an old married
man register Mr. and Mrs. It's always
so-andso and wife. You just notice
now if it isn't sO.'
An investigation into the subject re-
vealed the fact that there was much
truth in the clerks observation.
