TIE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Hallway Disaster In France.

Terrible hallway Disaster Ina France.
One of the most dreadful railway dsas-
ters of its kind on record took place at st.
Maude, France, on Sunday evening. Two
excursion trains were carrying large num-
her of people home from musical festival
when the second train crashed into the
rear of the train in front before it had left
81. Maude station. The engine of the rear
train telescoped three carriages loaded with
npople. and at the same time the reservoir
of Gas ON the damaged train exploded and
set fire to the wreckage, while scores of
people were pinioned, wounded and help
less beneath the ruins of the three car
riages. In short time the flames spread
to such an extent that many of the
wounded were slowly roasted to death be-
fore the eyeS of those who were doing their
utmost to rescue them. The horrible
shrieks of the burning people, and the
cries of desperation and terror uttered by
the survivors who were engaged in the
work of rescue, continued almost without
interruption for half an hour after the col
lision. The official statement makes the
number of dead AZ and the number of in
iured 104.
MANY of the unfortunate people impris-
oned beneath the wreck were drowned,
while partly roasted, by the tiremen who
were summoned to the scene. Forty min
utes elapsed before the tiremen were able
to obtain water, but when they did so they
poured torrents upon the wreck and seemed
to be utterly unaware of the fact that they
were drowning the people they were at
tempting to rescue.
On Monday the town hall of st. Maudt
presented a fearful spectacle. The black
ened bodies of the dead lay in rows upOr
the floor and upon tables in that building
In some cases the bodies were little NOR,
than heaps of cinders nter1niXed with por
tions of limbs or fragments of other parts
of the victims. The majority of the killed
and injured were women and children.

Railway Wreck i'm Ohio.

\ Cincinnati. Hamilton Il Dayton eX-
cursion train of II cars was returning to
Dayton, Ohio, Saturday evening with the
National cash register employees from pic
mic at WOolsdale park when freight train
crashed into it at Middletown station, caus-
ing an awful wreck. Three persons were
killed outright and four are in critical
condition. Forty persons were injured.
The excursion train broke a draw bar while
pulling on to a siding and in the delay of
recouplng a freight train came along and
ran into the rear coaches. The passengers
knew that a freight train was following the
excursion train and called the attention of
the conductor to the peril, only to be told
that if they heard the freight train coming
they could jump off. Five minutes later
the disaster took place. The engineer of
the freight train, when almost upon the
passenger cars, saw that a collision was in
evitabe and he and the fireman jumped
and were saved. The two rear passenger
coaches were hurled into the ditch, and the
third coach was struck fairly in the end
and elevated to an angle of 45 degrees,
where it stood, filled with shrieking people.

a kentucky Tragedy.

A farm five miles from Paris, KY, was
the scene of a horrible tragedy last Satur-
day. Nathan S. Conway, 81 years old, his
wife and their sons, Charlie and William,
aged 33 and 2S and two nieces, were sit
ting on the veranda, when an insane negro
named Craig came up and struck Charles
Conway with a knife, splitting his skull.
The rest of the family ran into the house.
Craig continued to hack the young man
till he thought him dead. He then attack
ed the father, who had returned, and kill
ed him. Then the mother coming up had
her head split open and instantly died.
After the negro had hacked her body in
dozen places, he attacked William Conway,
cutting him in the head and on the body as
he ran. He had just struck Conway to
the ground when G. w. Barlow, neigh
Dor, attracted by the screams, came up and
shot Craig twice with buckshOt. This
seemed to have no effect, but other neigh
bors had come up and a young man shot
Craig with a pistol. Craig ran and, falling
beside haystack, died in few minutes.
Craig said he intended to kill the whole
family. He has brother, who is under
sentence of death, in Cincinnati.

A very gloomy picture of the state of
affairs in the Australian labor fields is
drawn by a resident of that country who
stopped in Chicago on his way from AIDE
laide to Europe. He said the strike of the
shearrrs last spring amounted to a verita
BILE revolution. "You cannot understand"
he said, chow calamitous the strike system
in the colonies has grown. In northern
Australia, which is situated in the tropics,
we grow the finest kind Of cotton. have
seen the pods of this valuable cotton drop
ping to the ground for want of picking.
The whites will not tolerate colored labor
on the plantations, although they them
selves cannot work in the tropics. Vast
sugar estates. too, had to be abandoned and
rich mines of silver, gold and tin cannot
be worked because of the unreasonable at
titude of the laborng folk. In fact ter
ritory teeming with wealth has been turned
into what is little better than desert
The whole trouble lies with lot of pro-

The LouI.l.nn Lo,,ery Fight.

The fight in Louisiana over the question
of extending the charter of the Louisiana
state lottery company for % years, in con
sderation of the payment of 81, $50, 900 a
year by the company, is already overshad-
owing all other issues there. The cam
paign is open, and nobody asks what an
other mans politics may be, 1t is simply
whether the constitutional amendment
passed by the last legislature, submitting to
the popular vote the question of the ex-
tension of the lottery charter, shall be
adopted. The present state administration
is arrayed against it, but the division is by
no means on party lines. The city of New
Orleans is said to be at least three to one
in favor of the lottery, and the river par
ishes are almost equally strong on that
side, having in mind, no doubt, the $780,
900 which the lottery company agrees to
pay over for their levees Elsewhere
throughout the state the opposition is pow
erful, and it seems to be growing under the
skillful direction of the anti-lottery lead
ers. The election is still long way ahead,
however, and it is useless to attempt to
forecast the result.

Farmers Alliance to "Corner' the

A gigantic scheme to corner the entire
wheat crop of the whole country has been
devised by the leaders of the Farmers AL
lance of the United States. If the plan
succeeds the most stupendOus trust of the
age will be formed, and the price of wheat
will be forced mp to an unparalleled figure.
The scheme involves 800, 900, 900 bushels of
wheat, and is simply to hold back the
greater part of this until hunger compels
the consumers of the world to pay the
enormous price demanded. Circulars have
already been issued by the alliance to 4OO,-
900 farmers since the beginning of the
month, and before the month is out over
100000 of these circulars will have been
sown broadcast over the land.
