KANSAS CITY. Mo- Dec. 27.-The
west-5Ound passenger train on the San
ia Fe from Chicago, due at Kansas City
at $50 this morning, was wrecked at
Newcomb, Mo-. small station six miles
east Of CarrOllton, at o'clock this
morning by spreading of the rails. The
rear part of the train, consisting of a
chair car, two Pullmans and a dining
car, left the track and went down an
eighteen-fOot embankment. Thirteen
persons were injured. but no one
was killed or fatally hurt. Following
is complete list OF the injured:
Conductor William Wordsworth, of Chi
cago, badly bruised in various parts of the
body; Mrs. Eliza Toomey, of Marion, Kan,
scalp wound and sprained ankle; William
Kaston, head cook in the dining car. scalded;
Charles Dempsey, second cook. scalded;
C. W. Scott, Chicago, scalp wound: j. S.
Whiteford, Topeka, scalp wound; William
Decker, Topeka, scalp wound; Mrs. William
Decker, Topeka, shoulder bruised two small
children of Mr.. Decker, scalp wounds; W. j.
Kruss conductor of Pullman, back sprained:
j. c. Barton, Severy, Kan, head cut and
bruised; Mrs. Nellie A. Watson, Topeka,
badly bruised about the head and body.
The engine, baggage and express cars
passed safely over the place where the
rails spread and the chair car was the
first to leave the track. 1t turned COM
pletely over and stood upright at the
foot of the embankment. There were
about twenty persons in this car and
ten of them were injured. The first
SLEEPER turned over and lay on its side
and the inmates were compelled to-
crawl out of hole in the bottom of the
coach.
The cause of the accident cannot now
be definitely determined, as the track
seems to have been in good condition, a
heavy freight train having passed safely
over short time before the accident to
the express. 1t is thought, however,
that the drawbar of the front chair car
may have falienan caught the truck of
the same car, thus causing the derail-
ment. The fact that the train was
sOlidly vestibuled probably averted any
fatalities, and is responsible for the
comparatively small number of injured.

NO EXCUSE FOR 1T.
Nj. Tirard Says the Mckinley
Tariff Is a Barbarity.

otfIn Is q DdfDafltX.
PARIS, Dec. 27.-M. Tirard, formerly
French minister of finance, in an inter
view on the subject of the negotiations
for commercial treaty between France
and the United States, said: Treaties
of this kind are useful as a mOdus
vivendi between countries where tariffs
are so high that they paralyZe trade.
A treaty with the United States will be
extremely OppOrtune, and will go long
way to secure our enthusiastic partici-
patton in the Chicago fair. The Nc
Kinley law has so much harmed our
trade that | would favor going to the
United States for staples only when it is
impossible TO obtain what We need else
where. The Mckinley administrative bill
IS barbarOuS piece of legislation and
has caused great ill-feelng in France.
The whole Mckinley law is due to an
error of judgment. The Americans ar
gued that, as their exports are natural
products that other nations must have,
they would be sure to find buyers and
so they could shut their ports to foreign
manufacturers. This reasoning is fall
laclOus. The population of the United
States might easily increase to four
times the present figure in twenty
years. In that case America would be-
come still greater exporting country.
Look how England has developed since
She has adopted free trade. If the United
States were to adopt a like policy Amer
lea would soon govern the markets of
the whole world. By following the pol
icy of prohibitory protection sherestricts
the fU-ure to the limits of home con-
sumption. In France, where it is i'm
possible to develop resources any fur
Their, there NAV be some excuse for pro-
lection. but not so in America, where
the possibilities of development are un-
bounded"

A Sheriff's Posse Chasing the
Fugitive Murderer With
Bloodhounds.

LEEsBURG, Fla, Dec. 27.-Nearly
1000 armed men in Lake county are
securing the woods between the Florida
Central Il Peninsular railroad track and
the shores of Lake Haine, in search of
fugitive negro murderer, and about
as many negroes with Winchesters are
scattered about this city and suburbs,
proclaiming that they will protect him
from lynching if brought here. Just
before daylight this morning j. E. Par
ramOre, a well-known conductor on
the Florida Central & PENN
Sula railroad, was shot ana in
StantlY killed while on his
train not far from here by Thomas E.
Mike. negro who keeps colored bar
Der shop in this city. 1t was one of the
most unprOvOked, brutal and cowardly
murders ever committed in this state.
Mike got on the train here with ticket
for Orlando, and took seat in the white
passenger coach. When Conductor
ParramOre came through the car to take
up tickets and collect fares he APP
preached Mike, asked him for his ticket,
took it, and then politely requested him
to go into the colored car. Mike was
surly and refused, growing out some
insulting language half under his
breath. Then the conductor ordered
him out of the car peremptorily, and the
negro Obeyed. Five minutes later Par
ramore entered
The COlOred Coach
and when he was about five feet in
front of the Negroes seat Mike suddenly
jumped to his feet, pulled a revolver
from his pocket, took a step or two to-
ward ParramOre and then took deliber-
ate aim and fired at him.. The ball
entered Parramore's head just behind
the right ear aud he fell forward dead.
Mike rushed TO the platform, jumped
from the train, and disappeared in the
woods. The train was stopped and run
back to this station with the body OF
the murdered man. An inques
was held, and then Sheriff Gal
lOway organized posse to
search for the fugitive. They
have six blOodhounds with them, and il
is the general opinion here that Mike
cannot escape. He ran south from the
railroad toward Lake Harris. In almost
any VUhCl ullCClloH HC-coulO, perhaps,
have eluded his pursuers, but he IS
penned in between the railroad and the
shores of the lake, and only small
three-cornered piece of country to con-
ceal himself in. The people still in
town feel sure that the murderer will
be caught, and be lynched before mid
night unless the negroes succeed in TAX
ing him from the sheriff, when a bloody
race conflict would be sure to follow.
The Leesburg rifles, about sixty in num-
Der. have been ordered out to preserve
peace in town, as the negroes threat-

Boston, Dec. 27.-The most disas-

since the Thanksgiving blaze of 1889
occurred tonight, 1t was of somewhat
extended area, and for a time
threatened millions of dollars
worth of property. The structure
burned was the brick building, 1873. 1856

MADE A CLEVER ESCAPE.
Two Chicago Girls Run Away to
New York

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-No tidings, either
good or bad, have been received by Mrs.
William Van Schaick of her adopted
daughter Dora and granddaughter,
Alice Parker, who disappeared Monday
night and went to New York. A. f.
Parker, father of Alice, started for that
city last night to find the girls and
bring them back. The escapade was
quite cleverly arranged, and, from the
story told by the man who helps about
the boarding house at los and 107 Dear
born avenue, seems to have been planned
some time ago. About two weeks ago
the servant was sweeping the hall near
George COItls' room, on the first floor,
when little Dora slipped in and began
talking to him. He was still i'm bed, not
yet having recovered from his illness.
well, | have made up my mind to
CO." she began, land just as soon as you
can arrange it | will START
Il am glad of that, answered George.
IL am nearly we'll now, and you can go
in few days"
The scheme that was arranged was to
send Mrs. Van Schaick to the theater
Tuesday evening, leaving the girls at
home, so that, with no obstacle in the
way, 1t would be an easy matter to slip
out of the house with the trunks. and
get to the train before the lady's return.
Mrs. Van Schaick did not 90 to the
theater, however, but gave the tickets
to the girls, who went to the play.
Hawley came to the house ustenSibly to
see his friend COItis, and, finding that
they could not remove the trunks with
out attracting attention, they stealthily
transferred the girls cloChing to two
valiseS, skipped out of the house aud
drove in CAB to the theater. When
the girls failed to return from the
theater search was made in vain for
them. The next day Hawley called
again to see Cortis. He asked where
the girls were, and seemed surprised
and shocked when told of their disap-
pearance. He called three times during
the week, dining with the family each
time, and always inquiring whether the
missing ones had been heard from.
In the meantimeMrs.V Van Schaick had
discovered the loss of $3.50 which she
had concealed in her room. She decided
to have the two men arrested, and they
are now locked up. Said Mrs. Van
Schaick tonight:
This story about sending girls to
New York to study for the stage is a
very good excuse, but the real motive of
the action was not this. Hawley and
CortiS were to follow them in couple
of weeks. Mr.. Parker started for New
York last night, with the firm determi-
nation to bring the girls back with him.
They have had their heads filled with
the beauty and spleDdor of the city, but
probably by this time they have found
out that things are not what they seem.
l think that they will not make any OBJ
lection to coming back when told the
true state OF affairs"

AT A HORIZONS BRINK.
Narrow Escape From a Great Ac-
Cident in New York,

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-An accident
with probable loss of life was narrowly
averted today on the Sixth avenue eIe-
waited railroad by the high wooden guard
rail that runs alongside the tracks. One
of the engines jumped the track at
Park place, causing a delay of one hour
and blockade that extended to Worth
street. Finally a train approached the
blocked trains. There was no percep-
tible lessening of speed. The engineer
seemed ObliviOus of the blockade be-
fore him until within seventy-fve feet
of the rear platform of the last car of
the train in front. Then he put OH the
brakes. 1t was too late. The engine
crashed into the rear car. The passen-
gers were thrown from their seats. The
rear car was derailed, and but for the
guard rails would have toppled over
into the street below. No one was hurt.
There appears to be no good reason for
the accident unless the brakes failed to
work properly. The company are very
reticent about the accident.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 27.-To-
day the full extent of the destruction
caused by yesterdays fire is made ap-
parent. The principal retail business
houses of Chattanooga are in ruins. A
terrible picture of devastation is seen.
The fire district covers an area $50 feet
square. In all nineteen stOrerOOmS
were destroyed, with the several stores
above them. The total loss will reach
S650,000 with 100000 insurance. A
large force has already commenced the
work OF recovering the safes from the
RUNS. As soon as the losses are adj
JuSted the whole area is to be re-
built with handsome structures.
Mrs. Hurst and Miss Johnston,
who jumped from the third
story windows, are doing well. They
may get well. Both have broken bones
and other injuries. 1t is reported that
two young women lost their lives. A
Miss Stevens, employed on the third
floor of LOveman's, is reported missing.
The fire originated in the boiler room in
the basement of LOveman'S building.
Twenty women were taken out of the
building by the means of ladders. Miss
Johnston, in jumping from the third
story. caught on to a ladder which eX
tended to the second floor. The ladder
broke and she was thrown through a
large plate glass. Mrs. Hurst fell INTO
network of wires and was thrown to
the stone pavement. The Times is back
again in its quarters. The damage to
the Times office was not serious.
All the parties who were in Love-
mans are now accounted for, and the
only injuries of a serious nature are
those sustained by Mrs. Hurst and Miss
johnson, both of whom will recover. A
careful estimate of the loss to buildings
and stocks places it at S560,00O. The
total insurance is S432, 800.
