BLAINE,s OloNDITION.
Reports That He Has Bright's Disease
Denied by His Doctors.

WAsRINeroN, July 5.-There is a good
sized Washington colony at Bar Harbor
now. Some of the Washingtouians are
neither too busy nor too lazy TO write to
their friends here In their letters they all
give much space to Secretary Blains's con-
dition. They all agree In representing it as
much more serious than ii has been
believed to be. One Of them
states that 1t Is now well
understood at Bar Harbor that Secretary
Blaine is in the advanced stage of Bright's
disease. Secretary Blaines physicians here,
however, pooh pooh this statement. They
say that they have frequently and recently
examined Secretary Blaine. especially to
see whether ne has Bright's disease, and
that they have satisfied themselves that be
has not They insist that his present con-
dition is due entirely to overwork and that
he will be all right If he rests until October,
es he has promised to do.

scenes Among the Ruins.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, July 5.-The fatal
wreck here came on so suddenly that few Of
the passengers had time to think, and be-
fore they knew it found themselves buried
in confused mass Of humanity, car seats
and windows and debris Of all kinds, when
a general scramble ensued to get out Of the
wreck.
JOHN NORVELL'S ESCAPE.
John Norvell, the only passenger who es-
capped unhurt, had gone into the mail car TO
speak with the mail agent when the shock
came. First, he says, there was a jar and
jolting AID be knew they had jumped the
track. He instantly seized one of the rods
and hung on for life. In an instant the mail
car was jerked back on the track, and then
with crash the coaches broke loose and
swung of over the edge of the trestle.
\ CLOSE CALL.
The Jar burst all Of the windows aud
doors in the mail car, but its occupants
were unhurt. Immediately he a d the train
crew, who we're unhurt, rushed below to
the wrecked cars. There were so mauy in
the train and SO few to help them that it
seemed almost impossible to do anything,
nor was there anything to bind the wounds
| with. He went to the county poorhouse
near by and got bandages, and then began
to use them.
HORRIBLE WORK.
John B. White, who was among the
hardest workers among the wounded, says
| it was the most horrible work he ever did.
He held one woman, an acquaintance, for
some ten minutes while a physician forced
her mouth open to pour sumulants down
before he recognized her. One physician is
reported as saying he preferred any battle
| field he ever saw to this as far as the horror
| of it was concerned.

POSTAL SUBSIDIES.
Only Four Southera Ports to Be Pro-
Vided For.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Postmaster Cen
eral Wanamaker's time was occupied last
week in considering the scheme for carry
ing into effect the postal subsidy act. Sew
eral agents Of the various lines were in con-
sultation with him, and the matter was also
considered IN the cabinet on Tuesday
and Th1rsday. The result of all
these consultations is believed to be
as follows: Al the lines on the Pacific coast
and on the Atlantic from Norfolk north>
ward who can comply with the terms Of the
law will be awarded contracts under the
terms OF the advertisement required to be
made by the law. In the soutn only Nor
folk, Tampa, New Orleans and Galveston
will be provided for. There was q
proposition TO include Savannah, Charles
ton and Mobile, but in neither case, it
was said, were sufficient guarantees given.
OF course the project is subject to change,
as the law does not fix any specific line on
which contracts shall be entered into within
the next five years. but it is not thought
that the present scheme will be altered
much if any within the present fiscal year.

SING SING, n. Y, July 5.-An the prep
arations for the execution Of the four mur-
derers who are under sentence of death here
were completed to day, and. although no
intimation has been given by Warden
Brown Of the time when the execution will
take place, it is the general opinion thet the
men will be executed after Z o'clock to-
morrow morning, although there is no
reason why the execution should not take
place before that hour il the warden thinks
best. The machinery is independent of the
power used for the dynamos, and the exc
cutiOn can take place at any hour without
interfering with the work or the prison.
What makes it seem likely that the execu-
ton viii not take place before o'clock Is
the fact that none of the witnesses had ap.
peared in town up TO o'clock tonight.
BoMB IN THE NEWSPAPER CAMP.
At a late hour tonight report reached
the headquarters of the newspaper men
that Warden Brown had notified those
holding invitations to be at the prison not
later than o'clock tomorrow morning.
From this il Is believed that the first execu-
ton will take place soon after sunrise, and
that, il there is no hitch il the work of the
electric machinery, the other executions
will follow in rapid succession.
1t Is thought that some OF the witnesses
have entered the prison uuder cover of the
darkness. The prison is on the banks Of the
Hudson, and. it would not be difficult for
any person to land at the prison wharf at
night without being seen.
