Another Railroad Wreck in Which a
Larger Number of Passengers Lose
Their Lives.
Trading On the Chicago Change Just as
Wildly Nervous as it Was Satur-
day---Big Prices Paid.
Harvesting Well Underway all Over
the Northwest--Lack of Storage
Facilities Reported.

BERNE, Aug. 17.-Yesterday another
wholesale loss of life by q railroad acci-
dent occurred on the Jura Simplan rail
road line near the village of Zolofekan
not far from this city. A special train
carrying large number of excursionists
from the country districts to this city,
on the way here was run into by the
Paris express while side tracked to al
low the latter to pass. The accident
resulted in large number of passen
gers being killed. The exact number
of dead and wounded is not known, but
twelve corpses have already been recov-
cred from the ruins and it is known
many people have been seriously in
jured by the collision. No loss of life is
reported among the passengers of the
Paris express. The majority of the pas
sengers aboard the excursion train be-
long to towns in the vicinity of this city.
1t is thought no American travellers are
among the killed. The accident is
thought to be the result of carelessness
of the railroad officials.

BOYCOTT PRONOUNCED.
Lum Out, of Chicago, in the Future Will
Not be Recognized.

CHICAGO, Aug. l6.-Lum Out, a
Chinese of this city, is in a serious pre-
dicament. An order has been promul-
gated throughout the city that he must
be boycotted. All good Cinnamon are
ordered not to talk, trade or associate
with him. Lum is a laundryman, who
has embraced the Christian faith, and
converted a number of his countryman.
He established in his laundry Sunday
school, where meetings are held every
Sunday. The cause of the trouble is
that certain Chinese merchants believed
Lum furnished information to the treas
ury agents, which led to the detention at
Winnipeg of several Cinnamon, who re-
turning from visit home, they we e
recently stopped, it will be remembered, ,
at Noche, Manitoba, and although they
had passports, it was believed the papers
were the property of others, and that
they were trying to break into the
country for the first time. When the
news of their arrest reached Chicago,
the colony here began to hunt for the
informer and it was finally determined
Lum was the guilty man. He had been
seen conversing with treasury agents and
also paid visits to the government build
ings. Despite his protestations of in
nocence, a boycott has been pronounced
against him and some wanted to kill
him, but the mandarin would not hear
of 1t. What SO greatly incensed the
colony leaders was that the Information
given the treasury agents was false, SO
they say, the men arrested being bona
fide residents of Chicago. From infor-
nation gathered this evening, it is be-
lieved their story is right, and that the
Cinnamon will be allowed to come to
Chicago.

A Boy while Shooting Grouse on Lake
Washington is Instantly KILLED.


SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. I5.-Leonard
Addleman the 1e-year-old sun of John
F. Addleman, q farmer living at Hough-
ton, on the east side of Lake Washing
ton, accidently shot and killed himself
this morning at o'clock. The charge
entered the right side two inches below
the nipple and ranged upward through
the lungs, causing immediate death. The
boy, in company with his father and
uncle, were out grorse hunting, and
while the three were standing on log,
the uncle saw "A bird and told Leonard
to shoot it. The boy had an old muzzle-
loading rifle charged with bird shot,
and asked his father to exchange guns
for the shot. The father objected, but
the boy persisted and he finally advanced
towards him with the intention of
handing the gun. Leonard proceeded to
set the old gun down behind the log,
when the hammer caught, the gun went
off and the charge entered his body. He
fell back, but not before his father was
on the spot. Throwing his arms around
his parents neck he said, ''Oh, papa"
then kissed him twice upon the cheek
and expired. When the news was
brought to his mother, she became pros
trated with grief and is now in critical
condition.

CHICAGO ALL EXCITED.
Both Sides Satisfied the Prices Are Too
High.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE exciting
scenes in wheat and corn which char
acterized trading the latter part of last
week was renewed at the opening of the
board of trade this morning. Trading
was just as wildly nervous as it was
Saturday. The bull fever is still on this
morning and trades infiamed with the
prospect of higher prices, as a result of
excited higher cables, when the bell
tapped for the opening of business, at
once became a pandemouium from
which came these figures for December
wheat inside of ten minutes at lib.
This was the top figure on the early
bulge. Then prices began to weaken and
at 10 o'clock had declined to 1.0715. a
bulge to 1.13 was accompanied by the
widest excitement and some sales are
reported as high as LA. The succeed
ing period of weakness was the result of
free selling by both longs and shorts.
Conservative traders on both sides are
satisfied the prices are too high for safety
and far above the export basis, and they
must be brought together before a bene-
fit on foreign shortage on which the
boom was founded can be realized. The
consequence of this was that prices
reacted until LOS was reached, that be-
ing the lowest point this morning. 1t
reacted to 10y, sold off to LOG. At IL
O'Clock it was comparatively quiet at
LOG. Wheat continued weak and at
1915 December was quoted at 1.0334.
