in the grim Park place tragedy which
began Saturday last were played Fri
day in the cemeteries, the chief one be-
ing the Simultaneous burial Of thirteen
bodies in the cemetery Of the Ever

great hole, 10 feet by 8, the width Of
five common graves, were placed 1--WE
tiers of coffins. That which held
the mortal remains Of Thomas VIII

sleep their last sleep in that narrow
trench.

TWENTY.Six DROWNED.
Result of Collision Between Steamel
in Australian Waters.

Result of q Collision Between Steamers
in Australian Waters.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-A dispatch from
Cured at o'clock a. m. in the port of
Philip Heads between the steamer
Gambler and Easily. The Gambler
was bound from Sydney, New
South Wales, for Melbourne, and
was just clearing the heads when she
met the Easily bound out 1t
was impossible for the vessels to clear
each other, and the Easily struck the
Gambler amidships, crushing her side
to such an extent that when she backed
away the water poured into the hold of
the Gambler in torrents. A scene of ter
rible confusion and excitement followed
the collision. The most of the passen;,
gers were in their berths asleep when
the accident happened. Suddenly
awakened by the shock, and not know
ing the nature of the accident that had
befallen them, they rushed pell-men
on deck without waiting to dress.
They rushed frantically for the boats,
but there was no time to cast loose
their fastenings and lower them away,
for the steamer was settling so rapidly
that to attempt this means of escape
meant to go down with the ship. The
officers did their utmost to calm the
terrified passengers, but their efforts
were to a great extent unavailing.
The Easily remained alongside the
Gambler and rescued many of the
latter's passengers and crew. Not
withstanding her efforts, the Gambler
filled so rapidly that it was beyond
human power to save every body.
Seven minutes after the, collision
the Gambler gave a long forward
lurch, then her bows rose high out of
the water, then she settled back,
and, sinking stern first, she dis
appeared from view carrying with
her FIVE saloon passengers, fifteen
steerage passengers and six of
the crew. The boats from the Easily
remained for long time In the
vicinity searching for possible surviv-
ors but thev found none,

Mr.. HUNS Lucrative Hump.

The people of Hamburg, Conn, are sui
fering from Il case OF misplaced sympathy.
When ,ildser HUFF took up his residence
near the village about the time that the
prohibition law was being vigorously en-
forced, he received lots Of pity, because he
was deaf, dumb and humpbacked The
other day Mr. Huff was discovered dead
near his hut, and it came out that in his
life he could talk and hear as well as any
one. As for his hump that proved to be a
padded sack, inside of which reposed a
dozen pint bottles containing rum, whis-
key and cordial, and in his pocket was
found s197, mostly in dimes and nickels.
The humpback had been walking bar
room. It is remembered now that Huff
used to prowi around late at night, and it
3 alleged that he visited the houses of
those who love an occasional nip. and
either sold them a pint bottle or else a
drink, for which he charged but five cents.

AtchIson and Union Pacific.

Speclal 10 the Gazette.
New York, Sept. 5.-The Gould people
have become very bullish on AtcmsOn. In
timations are given out of some very I'M
pOrtant news pending in connection with
this property, and that the facts will devel-
ope soon. Whatever this news is, it is
kept close secret, but it is pre-
sumed to be connected in some way with
the proposed scheme of the consolidation
of the -Huntington-Atchison systems.
1t is also reported that without waiting for
Jay Gould's return, the directors of the
Union Pacific railroad have formally APP
proved the plan for extending the floating
debt by means of per cent trust notes
TO extend three years The trust
deed is understood TO be very elaborate
and to have been drawn with the utmost
care in order to protect the varied interests
involved. II is stated that So per cent OF
the creditors have aSSented 10 the plan,
from which it was argued that the company
would have no difficulty in dealing with the
remainder in one form or another. Some
well-informed railroad meu cannot believe
that the plan of putting Union Pacific Sc
curities in trust, does not mean some pur
pose on the part of Gould to get the best of
the government. There are put
into this trust some 500, 600 00O
of securities, par value which include con-
troll Of most of the branch lines. The gov
eminent has debt of about $50, 900, 900
covering 1912 niles Of main line and 394
miles of the Kansas Pacific. The average
debt of the government natures in July,
1897. These collateral trust notes mature
IN August, 1885. When the notes
mature the company may not be
In 4 position to pay. If it cannot make
terms with the government the result will
be that the securities back of the notes will
be sold. The question is whether the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Atchison Will not be
prepared to take them.

isfy them, but quarters similar to those oc-
cupied by the Elks will be fitted up II
suitable location can be secured 1nere

service. br .kemen. conductors, tiremen, en-
ginccrs, railway and express route agents
and Office men, and this lnSures thorough
work in every department of the service.
The meeting. after discussing the ques-
ton in all its bearings. decided that when
it adjourn it adjourn 10 meet Saturday

that this club shall be home for the rail
road man in every respect. The GA
zErTE is pleased TO see this for

therefore they feel. THE GAZETTE eSpe-
cially, the deepest interest in the inaugu-
ration of the club The meeting next Sat

ton in Travis county. a court
of competent jurisdiction is too
indefinite, says the attorney
There follows next 1 general demurrer,
a general denial and special pleading
bringing forth some bristling argu-
ments: 1t is charged that the
plaintiff railroad company has been under
the control and management of the Southern
Pacific company since 1885, when the latt
purchased the Gulf, West Texas and
Pacific railroad; that the two roads
are parallel and competing lines;
that the purchase of plaintiffs road was
done for the purpose of running down and
wrecking of the road would divert all
freight that might come from New
Orleans TO port Lavaca, by water
to be distributed there from over
the Gulf. West Texas and Pacific
TO the Southern Pacific railway to be hauled
by rail from New Orleans; that freight
which should have been shipped by water
the Southern Pacific; that the with
drawal OF large amounts of freight
from plaintiffs road in this manner
has disabled and rendered 1t less valuable
as 4 common carrier: that it has, since its
incorporation with the Southern Pacific,
operated defective train service and kept
its track in bad repair that if plaintiff had
the Southern Pacific in the manner
described it could have done
a profitable business accommodated the
public and run one train per day each way
as 1t did before il became the property of
the Southern Pacific. II is further al
legged that the purchase OF Plain
tiff road by the Southern Pacific
was made in pursuance OF plan to
absorb and destroy every railroad running
from the southern and western portions OF
Louisiana. Texas and California TO any
point ON the gulf in order that the said
Southern Pacific company may control the
traffic from New Orleans 10 the territory
mentioned in said states. 1t is al
legged that in pursuance OF said plan
of absorption the Southern Pacific
now owns or controls the Galveston, Har-
risburg and San Antonio, running from
Houston to FL Paso: the Texas and New
Orleans, from Houston to Orange; the Sa-
bine and East Texas, from Beaumont to
Rockland; the New York, Texas and Mex
lean, from Rosenberg TO Beeville, and the
Gulf, West Texas aud Pacific; that no sep
arate and distinct account of receipts
and expenditures of the roads NEIL
toned is kept by the Southern Pa
Citic; that its accounts and those
of the roads mentioned are all combined and
mixed indiscriminately together SO that it
is impossible to tell the true state of plant
IFS profits and expenditures. 1t is alleged
that before the Southern Pacific purchased
the plaintiffs road it was u paying invest
ment, wherefore defendant prays Judgment
of the court and for ali costs and general
relief

1t may interest the increased army Of
tourists which is certain to pour upon
Zermatt, now that the railway is complete,
to know that the new line has not only
been inaugurated, but episcopally blessed.
The latter function was thought all the
more desirable because of the not unnat-
ural prejudices of the large class of guides,
porters and owners Of quadrupeds who
fear that their livelihood will be endan-
gered by the competition of the locomo-
tive. DR.. Jardinier, the bishop of Sion,
with great company of his clergy, sp-
peared at Visp, and the prelate gave his
solemn benediction to the steam horse be-
fore it assembled to Zermats. This is

the Capuchin Fathers at Entlebuch about
twenty years ago, when the invasion OF
their valley by the railway which joins

as a moral catastrophe. .s,,
