ACCIDENT IN FRANCE.
Railroad Collision Caused by CareIessness
at Paris Depot.

Railroad Collision Caused by Carelessness
at Paris Depot.
PARIS, July IA most serious acci-
dent happened yesterday to club or
special train running from Calais to
Paris in connection with the club train
between London and Calais. The club
train came into collision with an ex-
press train from Lille Both trains
were entering the Gard du Nord depot
when the club train dashed into the
rear of the Lille train, causing a ter
rfiic shock to both. The conductors
CabOose and a second class carriage of
the Lille express were wrecked, and
another car of the same train was also
damaged.
All the passengers on board the club
train escaped without injury, but two
passengers, the conductor and brake
man ~ he Paris express were seriously
hurt The engineer ID conductor were
extracted from the wreck, s:,if2rlng
from the shock and conclusion, All Of
those most seriously injured were taken
to the nearest hospital
Madame Regnier, one of the Lille
passengers, who was among those who
were most seriously injured, has since
died in the hospital.
In the case of this accident and nine
out of ten railroad accidents, there
seems to be no mystery as to its cause.
The signal man admits that he failed
to signal the club train to stop, as he
had become confused at the number of
trains running in and out at the Gard

WAS FRED FIRED?
A Report That Hayti Requested
Douglass to "Git."
DISBELIEVED At THE DEPARTMENT.
No Good Reason Why HayIi Should Break
on Relations With the United States
Minister Douglass Thinks the
Story Untrue.

New YORK, July 1.-THE Atlas line
mail steamer Atlas, from Port Limon,
arrived here yesterday afternoon. Late
in June the Atlas touched at Hayti and,
according to her officers, it was learned
that Fred Douglass, United States min
lister to Hayti, had left his post at Port
au Prince because the Haytien govern
ment did not care to recognize a repre-
sentative of the United States and that
it was rather the desire of the "black
republic" to- break off all intercourse
with this country. The Haytien gov
ernment, it was said, feared the United
States, and in order to avoid interfer-
ence of any kind from this government
would sacrifice official intercourse
with it.
There had been no report of revolu-
tioas when the Atlas touched at Hayti,
and no news of that country was re-
ceived on the return trip when she put
into Kensington except that Legitime
was still there and that he was grow
ing in favor. The Haytiens prefer him
to Hippolyte and only await his word
to institute another revolt
REPORT DISCREDITED.
WASHINGTON, July H. - Reports
brought to New York by steamer from
Hayti that Minister Douglass left his
post at Port au Prince because the
Haytien government did not care to
recognize a representative of the United
States and desired to break off all in
tercourse with this country are discred-
tied at the department of state. Mr..
Wharton, acting secretary of state, re-
CARDS the story as pure invention and
says there is no reason to believe that
any such condition of affairs exists in
Hayti.
Minister Douglass, when shown the
telegram, said that there was no truth
in it so far as he knew. He had re-
ceived no intimation either in Hayti or
here that the government wished to
break off all intercourse with the
United States or was dissatisfied
with him as minister. Continuing,
he said: ''If such had been the feeling,
there is no doubt but that would have
heard of it before leaving, either
directly or indirectly. You may say
that do not think there is any danger
of sacrificing official intercourse with
Hayti"

| ly and whispered to him that the jury
in the NolaHd case desired to make a
report
Gail the court to order, Mr.. Sheriff, "
said the judge, ''and notify all the at
torneys in the case to come in"
A few minutes were occupied in
bringing in the attorneys, and the
room in the meantime had partly filed
with spectators. Attorney-General
Wood was absent When Gov. johnson
for the defense entered Judge Burgess
directed that the jury be brought down.
They filed in slowly and occupied the
box. 1t was plainly evident from their
faces that they had reached
verdict
Mr. ]. A. Hunter, the foreman,
kind faced farmer, was extremely
nervous and rose several times to an
nounce the verdict, but was directed by
Judge Burgess to wait until the proper
moment The clerk called the roll of
jurymen and all of them responded as
their names were called
''Now gentlemen" asked Judge
Burgess, "have you verdict?"
''We have, your honor" responded
Foreman Hunter. 1t was handed to
Clerk LusIz who read:
eve the jury find the defendant
guilty as charged in the Indictment and
assess his punishment at two years in
the penitentiary."
Judge Burgess asked for the verdict

phraseology so that it read:
1--WE the jury find the said Edward
IT holland guilty of embezzlement as
charged in lnC irs indictment and assess his
punishment at two years IN N the penlten-
tiary."
"Are you satisfied with this verdict,
gentlemen" asked the judge of the
jury.
Each juryman responded in the af-
firmative.
Then you may be discharged"
The jurymen fled out of the court
room. One of them stated that only
two ballots were taken. On the first
ballot two were for acquittal and ten
for conviction. On the second all were
for conviction. He refused to say who
were the jurymen who voted for ac-
quittal.
Mr.. holland sat in the seat he has oc-
cupied during the oatire trial Not a
muscleQuivered when the verdict was
announced. His fortitude was wonder
full. His counsel evinced no surprise
whatever, and Immediately after the
jury was discharged announced that a
motion for rehearing would be fled as
soon as it could be prepared.
The attorneys for the defense
in the holland case merely filed
the formal motion for reheariEg to-
day, but they will support it by Il num-
Der ef affidavits to show that the jury
was biased and incompetent to try the
ease.
One Of these affidavits will state that
Juror Graham is the lecturer for local
lodge of farmers and laborers' union at
the town of Hickory Hill and that last
Saturday week he made a speech to the
order in which he dwelt at great length
on the growing evil of nalfeasauce in

MINISTERS MEET.

Top ka CIergyIneu Considering the Best
Means of Enforcing Prohibition.
TOPEKA, Kan, July IA mass
meeting of the preachers of the city
was held yesterday afternoon and steps
taken to arouse the people to the en-
forcement of the prohibition law.
The Investigations of the w. c. T. U.
had shown that in this city the drug
stores had in large measure taken the
places of saloons The ministers had
before them a number of affidavit
books filed with the probate judge,
which showed that liquors had been
''signed for under the Kansas law. 1t
was discovered that half dozen men
procure beer or whisky every day in the
year. One person had alternated the
complaints for which he desired whisky
and beer. One day it would be for
fever" and the day following a bad
cold.
Resolutions were adopted calling
upon Judge Elliott for his resignation.
The complaint against Elliott is that
when one of the ministers approached
him to demonstrate against issuing Ii
censes to so many drug stores he was
told that the ministers would better at
tend to their business. The resolutions
declared that several blocks of the city
were devoted to drug stores, which
were nothing short of saloons.

Omaha Club Disbauded.

OMAHA, Neb., July 1.-THE Omaha
baseball team disbanded last night and
each man received the money coming
to him. The boys will remain in Oma-
ha until Wednesday and will play a
benefit game with a local team. The
men have offers from St Louis, Bal
timore, Washington and Cincinnati of
the American association, and they will
accept them. They leave Wednesday
for their eastern homes The cause of
the disbanding is that Mccormick has
lost over $4,000 thus far, and the eiti.
zens refused to contribute $1,000 to-
wards tiding the club over.

THE DESERT LAKE.
The Old Settler Has Something to Say O
the Phenomenon.

The Old Settler Has Something to Say on
the Phenomenon.
Cotton, Cal, July 14.-Capt. Frazer,
who has known the Colorado river for
thirty years, and who is perhaps the
best authority on the Colorado desert,
was seen here in regard to the Salton
lake. He lives at Banning, just on
the end of the desert, and he has ques-
toned all the Indians who have come
in.
"In discussing Salton lake" said he,
mot a word has been said about Har-
dy's Colorado, which | consider the
prime factor. The mouth of Hardy's
Colorado commences in the river about
fifteen miles from the Gulf of Califor-
mia, and its course is to the north and
east from the direction of the Salton.
In II l went to an investigation Of
the sulphur mines in the Cocopah
mountains and ascended this river to its
head waters. Last winter | met man
who had been to those same mines,
who told me he had to go to Black
Butte to cross Hardy's Colorado. From
the place | landed to Black Butte l es-
timated that it was over twenty miles.
/ stated at the time that if HardY's Col
orado fed by the gulf could encroach
on the desert twenty miles in twenty
years, it would only be few years un-
til we would have Salton basin filed.
From authentic report yesterday Salton
lake rose . inches in twenty-four hours,
From mathematical calculations, if the
present area of the lake were to be
raised . inches it would require 10000
cubic feet of water per second. The
estimate of the water passing under
the bridge at Yuma is about 10, 900
cubic feet per second. This proves the
regular Colorado isn't furnishing the
water. Now where is this Salton water
coming from?
"a reasonable explanation is that the
rise of the Colorado river filled the
basin at Indian Wells, and the south
branch of New river poured into
Hardy's Colorado, cutting a wide chan
mel through sand hills. The spring
tides of the gulf have been unusually
high this season. and these tides have
thrown the gulf back through the
channel of Hardy's Colorado into Indian
Wells, which is thirty-eight feet below
sea level, thence by way of Carriso
creek into Salton basin, which is 16S
feet below sea level This created a
tremendous current, supplied by the
ocean itself, tearing and cutting away
the sand banks, and forming, instead
of lake, permanent arm of the Gulf
Of California "

NEBRASKA PROGRESS.
An Exhaustive Review of the State BY the
Omaha Bee.

OMAHA, Neb., July 1.-THE Bee
prints an exhaustive review of the COM
mercial and financial condition of Ne
braska counties, showing a remarkable
development. The most important
phase of the exhibit is the showing of
deposits in the state and national banks,
which reach the aggregate of $50, 5O7,-
14S, or S47 per capita, showing that in
spite of the failure of crops in the west
ern part of the state last year and low
prices for series of years, the people
are in exceptionally good financial con-
dition, with almost enough cash deposit
to liquidate the entire farm mortgage
ndebteduesS of the state. The popula-
ton of the state in 1867 was 122, 600, and
in 1890 over 1000, 600. In 1865 the as
sessed valuation was $50, 900, 900; the
actual value in 1891 is 81, ,5S5, 100, 500.
The grain product of 1874 was
10, 900, 900 bushels In 1889 wheat
alone reached 16,S4S, 600 bushels,
and the yield of corn was
nearly $50, OOO, 600 bushels, and oats
So OOO 900. The estimated yield for this
year in all crops is greater than ever
before. Seven years ago no cattle or
hogs were slaughtered. To-day Omaha
is the third packing center in the union.
The creamery capacity of the state is
5000 pounds of butter per day. Flour
ing mills have capacity of 40, coo bar
rels per day. The two sugar-beet
factories have a capacity of 10000
pounds per day, and the twenty fruit

The Dreaded Grasshopper Plague on Its
Way East
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE arrival
of the much-dreaded grasshoppers in
the far southwest has already been
called to the attention of the depart
ment of agriculture, together with the
information that they have already
spread from Arizona and Utah as far
north as South Dakota. As yet it is
not known here whether these mi
gratory nuisances, whose advent was
mentioned a few days ago, are the
old reliable so5--enteen-year locusts or
simply the ordinary gsHSShoPPer OF
the present in unusual numbers. ne
return of the former unwelcome visitor
has been prophesied for about this
time, and there is considerable appre-
hension felt that perhaps he really has
materialized. A specialist from the
agricultural department an entomolo-
gist, will be sent directly to examine
into the situation and decide rs to how
serious the pest is likely to prove this
year The department issued a bulle-
tin to farmers some time ago, telling
them how to distinguish between the
two classes, the grasshopper and the
seventeen-year locust and also giving
directions as to how best to fight them.
