FRIGH1FULLY CRUSHED,
A FATAL RAILWAY DISASTER ON
THE ERIE ROAD.
Six Postal Clerks, Two Engineers and
Fireman Horribly Mangled.

CLEVELAND, o., April 1S.--A frightful
wreck occurred on the Lake Shore rail-
road, at Kipton, about forty miles west,
this evening. in which six pnstal clerks,
two engineers and one fireman were
killed. Fast mail No. IA, bound east,
collided with No. 81, the Toledo express,
just as the latter train was about to haul
on siding to let the fast mail pass.
The fast mail was running at full speed,
and the force of the collision was so
great that both engines, three mail cars
and one baggage car were completely
wrecked.
Following is a list OF the dead En-
gineers Charles Topliff and Edward
Brown; Fireman Staley; Postal Clerks
f. J. Nugent, Charles Hammill, F. F.
Clemens, John J. Bowerfne, James Nc
Rinley, G. II. Mcdowell.
Injured: John Danzig, son OF Sec
tion foreman.
None of the passenger cars left the
track, and none of the passengers re-
ceived serious injury.
Itwas the customfor these two trains to
pass at Kipton, the Toledo express tax
ing the sidetrack for the fast mail which
usually went through without slacken-
ing. The express was few minutes
late this evening and had just come to a
stop at the switch when the fast mail
came in sight. The engineer of the fast
mail applied the brakes when he saw a
collision was inevitable, but the speed
of the train was not checked materially.
The engine OF the Toledo express was
knocked squarely across. the track and
that of the mail reared in the air, rest
ing on top OF the other. The first and
second mail cars were telescoped and
smashed to kindling wood, and the third
crashed into the first two and rolled over
on the station platform. The two bag
gage cars of the Toledo express were
knocked from the track, but did not
turn over. The passengers were thrown
to the floors and badly shaken, but none
seriously injured.
The passengers at once began the
work of rescue, and with a corps of ply
sicians from the town ministered to the
few who were injured. All but one of
the dead were beyond human assist
ance as soon as the collision occurred.
The bodies were all horribly crushed
and mutilated, arms and legs being torn
off and the corpses almost beyond rec
ognition.
The poor postal clerks were Gagged like
rats, and the telescoping of the cars
crushed the life out of them without O
moments warning. The debris is piled
in a heap higher than the station.
1t is difficult to locate the blame for
the accident, but it is said the express
was ordered to stop at Oberlin, but went
Oh to Kipton and had not sufficient

A Romantic Double Tragedy on an At
lantic Steamship.

A Romantic Double Tragedy on an At
lantic Steamship.
New YORK, April 18.--When the
steamship Elder swung out from the
pier in Hoboken, this afternoon, several
OF the crew were swabbing up big pools Of
blood in the steerage. A double tragedy
had been enacted there half an hour
before. Philip Ohnacker had killed
Mrs. Catherine Barth and then sent a
bullet crashing through his own weak
brain. Two children are left in Ger
many to mourn the loss Of the woman.
She has husband there, too, but it is
not likely he will shed tears over her
taking-off, because she left him to come
with Ohnacker. The suicide was
a soldier stationed at the mines, and
yielding to the persistent pleading of
the woman, came with her to this
country, where they lived as man and
wife. They lived on farm near here,
and the woman, firing of her lover, me-
elected him in many ways, and finally
announced her intention OF returning
home. Ohnacker tried to. change her
purpose, and followed her TO the dock
to renew his pleadings. He had no
money to buy ticket to accompany
her, and said she should not go. For a
reply she walked aboard the steamship
and into the steerage. He followed her.
"You shall not leave" he said, "unless
we 20 together" and drawing revolver
fred bullet into her brain. He in
stantly turned the weapon on himself
and in moment both were dead.

Following the Withdrawal
of the Soldiers,
Strikers Again Turn Loose
Their Lawless Passions.
Fresh Disorders in the COnnellsville
Coke Region.
The Aid Of the National Guard Again
Invoked, but Denied by Gov.
Associated Press Dispatches.

SCoTTDALE, Pa, April 1S.--Hardly had
the soldiers left the region before the
fears of the citizens were realized, and
gangs of striking cokers again turned
loose their lawless passions of hate and
revenge. Throughout the region last
night the earth fairly trembled with the
succession OF shocks following the ex-
plosion OF dynamite bombs. At Leisen-
ring, No. 3 of the Fricke works, crowd
of strikers gathered on the hill, and at
one time thirty bombs were exploded
simultaneously, tearing great holes in the
earth, breaking windows in many houses
and frightening the people for miles
around by the terrific roar. No one was
injured, however, and but little damage
done, the strikers contenting themselves
with this warning to the workers below.
On Monday the companies will post
notices that unless the men return to
work by Tuesday they will no longer
be looked upon as employees. This
means that cheap labor will be i'm
ported, and as several hundred eviction
notices will also expire, the strikers
have hard week before them.
At Leisenring Deputy Sheriff Craw-
ford,a posse were serving writs of
ejectment, when they were captured by
an angry mob and harshly treated.
One deputy was fatally injured. An
effort will be made next week with
large force to evict the strikers, and
trouble will follow.
Today Secretary Parker OF the labor
organization ordered 1000 tents for the
sheltering OF evicted persons.
MILITARY AID CALLED FOR.
UNIoNrowN, Pa, April 1S.-The out
breaks of rioters at Leisenring, Kyle
and Leith, today, in which was demon
strated the weakness OF the civil author
tiles in the face of such mobs as COM
mitted the depredations at these places,
forced Sheriff Mccormick to do what he
had done his best to avoid-call on Gov
ernor Pattison for military aid. The
adjutant-general is now Investigating.
Excitement ia at high pitch over
the prospect of ordering out the militia,
but it is the universal sentiment that
it is the only safe thing to do.
One of the most daring and lawless
acts OF the strike took place at Leith,
this afternoon. In order to disperse a
threatening mob there, Deputies Smith
and Rice arrested one of them-a young
man named John Schaffer-a and started
to bring him to Jail. His companions
attacked the deputies, beat them with
clubs and stones and rescued:Schaffer.
Deputy Smith was probably fatally in
jured.
THE NATIONAL GUARD NOT A POLICE FORCE.
HARRISBURG, Pa, April 1S.-Governor
Pattson wired Sheriff Mccormick to-
night to the effect that it is not the
duty of the military to do police duty,
and that the soldiers would not be or
dered out until civil power is exhaust
ed. There appears to be a feeling in
official circles here that the coke oper-
ators are beginning to regard the ma
tional guard OF Pennsylvania as an or
ganized police force.

IRELAND,s FRIEND.
Gladstone Holds the Emerald Isles In

LONDON, April 1S.-In view of the i'm
pending bye-elections, Gladstone has
written letter to the Mid-Oxford can
didate of the Liberal party. Gladstone
says the measures introduced in parlia-
ment by the Liberals have shown that
the urgency OF the Irish ques-
tions has not made them mat
tentive to the interests of Great
Britain, but the course of events has
brought home the fact that Ireland prac-
tically stops the way. The majority Of
the Irish members, with the decided
support of irish opinion, have shown
determination to pursue the course
which has won for them the confidence
of the country. The policy of thegovern-
ment continues to reveal a.disposition to
revive the hostility between two ma
tions which the Liberals have entirely
foresworn. Peaceful Irish meetings
have been put down with violence that
would not be tolerated for an instant in
England. The civil rights of Ireland
have been unwarrantably abridged by
the majority in parliament, against

An Officer Arrested On a Charge of
Battery Yesterday.

Battery Yesterday.
Detective Bosqui, of the city police,
was arrested yesterday on charge of
battery preferred against him by Max
Harris. The officer was relieved of his
star, pending an investigation. The

Cured on the street after the conclu-
sion of the lottery case in the superior
court. Bosqui has been pushing the
case against Harris for selling lottery
tickets. Yesterday w. T. Williams, at
torney for Harris, went to Bosqui and
protested against his nodding and
coaching the witnesses. Bosqui said he.
did not do any coaching, and whoever
said he did was After
court Bosqui met Williams and Harris,
and repeated his assertion. Harris re-
piled that he had seen Bosqui coaching
witness.
"You are a - -" Missed Bosqui, at
the same time striking Harris blow on
the forehead. Mr.. Williams separated
the men before they came together for a
pugilistic contest.
The outcome of the little incident will
be watched with some interest. Bosuui
admits using bad language when he said
that Harris juggled with the truth. He
denies having coached or nodded to any
of the witnesses.
Max Harris stated to a HERALD re-
porter that he and another party saw
Bosqui coaching witness.

Uncleanliness often the Trouble.

The variety of shoes which claim to
follow the natural shape of the foot is
almost as large as those that do not.
Some of these shoes are so absurdly
broad at the toes that they give an i'm
preston that they were designed for a
hoofed beast; others are ventilated in
the sole. But, in spite Of all these orig
inal and expensive patented devices, the
fact remains that as many people escape
all Affections of the feet who wear ordin-
arily well shaped, hand sewn shoes as
those who adopt eccentric shoes. 1t is
evident that there is some other trouble
besides the shape of the shoe that is at

TREASURY OFFICERs UNEASY.
Secretary Foster Has Some Grave Ques
tiOns Confronting Him.


WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The prospec-
tive large payments on account of pen
sions, public works, maturing bonds
ETC., and the rather low ebb of receipts
with the resulting possibilities of the
disappearance of the surplus, is causing
some uneasiness among the financial
officers of the treasury.
Besides endeavoring to put in circula-
ton subsidiary silver coin, Secretary
Foster has in view another plan CON
cerning Az per cent. bonds, amounting to
fifty million dollars, which mature next
September. The secretary believes the
national banks, whichshold 1900, ,OOO
of these bonds, would be glad to re-
tain them as the basis for circulation,
even at a reduced rate of interest.
1t is regarded as feasible, perhaps, to
float these bonds at two per cent. The
secretary finds precedent for the plan
in the action of Secretary Window in
1881.

A BACK-ACTION BOYCOTT.
The Alton's Business Booming Owing to
the Trunk Lines Action.

the Trunk Lines Action.
CHICAGO, April 1S. The Alton officials
are very cheerful. They assert that the
trunk line boycott is working admirably,
and that business was never better. A
prominent official of another western
road, commenting on the situation, said
he had insisted from the first that the
boycott would be the best thing that could
happen for the Alton. Thousands of
people to whose American ideas the
word boycott" is repugnant, will sacri-
flee convenience if need be to give the
Alton business, and certainly ticket
agents outside the forbidden territory
will do all in their power to help the
Alton. If the fight is kept up long, it is
not unlikely to result in bitter rate
war. The Alton is bound to protect its
business, and may not long be able to
do this without slashing rates.
