THE mrDpLErowN HORROR.
Later Details of the Disaster-Three Killed
and Forty Seriously Injured.

DAYTON, o., July 26.-William G.
Douglass, foreman Of the National
Cash Works, and who was also one OF
the committeeman in charge OF the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton ex-
cursion to Woodsdale, tells this story
OF the Saturday night wreck, In which
three gpeople were killed and forty
seriously injured: :.
1.-The train of Is crowded cars started
on its return trip from Woodsdale about
z o'clock, and about an hour later the'
accident occurred at Middletown. "A
draw bar about the middle OF the excur-
sion train broke and they stopped at
Middletown to patch 1t up for the run
to DAYTON. Brakemen were Immediate
ly sent out with red flags to nag
the approaching train, and nearly
half an hour was consumed
in repairing the disabled car. Red
lights were not promptly changed 10
the rear of this car, though the train
was pulling out when the accident oc-
Cured at nearly o'clock. Two nun
dred and fifty men, women and children
were in the last three coaches ana all
knew that freight train No. A was fol-
lowing and they appreciated and talked
of their danger.
The excursion was slowly creeping
off the side track, when an omlnous
roaring was heard from the expected
train No. A. Nearer and clearer came
the sounds, with the monster mogel
and thirty-five loaded cars, and when in
sight of Middletown Station, Engineer
Schwind saw the tiagman waving the
danger signal and he Immediately called
for brakes, shut off steam aud applied
the sand. He saw that collision was
inevitable. Then he and his fireman
iumped, and an instant later the crash
came, a rear-end collision Of mighty
force.
The two rear cars and human freight
were hurled into the ditch, and the
next coach was struck fairly in the end,
and the locomotive pushing under ele-
waited it to an angle of As degrees, and
there it stood filled with shrieking peo-
pie. The car caught fire, but Engineer
Schwin and his fireman. were able to
extingnish the blaze by use OF hose from
the locomotive.
Means of the helpless sufferers and
means of the dying mingled with the
frantic cries of mothers seeking hus-
bands and children. Many had been
cut by glass and timbers in the rush to
escape, and bloody faces and hands bore
hastily testimony to the great number
who were injured. Physicians and citi-
zens of Middletown were soon at the
scene to join in reScuing the unfortun'
ates. The terror stricken excursionistS
were made comfortable in the houses
the three dead persons were properly
cared for.
All traffic on the railway was sus
pended, and relief trains were the only
cars moving.

rnal,.h Money Market.

LONDON. July 26.-Money was more
plentiful during the past week, and DIS
count was easy at 81 for three months,
and q for short. Since the opening Of
the week, when discount rates touched
the official minimum and an advance OF
the Bank OF England rate appeared i'm
minent, the monetary outlook has
rapidly changed. On Wednesday
Russia returned 100000 pounds
OF gold TO the Bank OF
England, with the prospect OF sending
more. This sudden reversal OF action
Of the Russian Treasury is mainly due
to the failure OF crops in Russia. Being
unable to pay her debts abroad by send
ing wheat and rye, she must remit bull
lion. The general Continental drain OF
gold will lessen the autumn shipments
to New York. Altogether, the renewed
abundance Of loanabe capital with the
consequent easier rates promises TO
stimulate business.
In American railway securities deal
ings were extremely limited, the move
ments being mainly In response TO those
In New York.

DIED AFTER A SPANKING.
A Little Boy IL Punished by His Mother

PHILADELPHIA, July 90. - County
Physician Iszard, OF Camden, was called
upon last night to investigate peculiar
case. Raymond 7. Zimmerman, the
three-year-old son Of Daniel X. thinner
man. 9os Newton avenue, died
suddenly yesterday afternoon after
he had been chastised by his
mother. The boy was teasing young
er sister and when told to stop rofused
to do so.
Mrs. Zimmerman then picked up her
son, who was clad In light dress only,
and spanked him. She says she only
used her hand and did not strike the
boy at all hard.
tlced that the child was gasplng for
breath and picked him up TO ascertain
the cause. The boy, however, seemed
TO grow worse and she summoned his
father.
The latter noticed that his son was
getting blue In the face and thought he
must be choking, so he struck him sew
eral times on the back. Finally becom-
ing alarmed he ran for q physician, but
before he returned Raymond was dead.
DR.. Iszard, after being notified Of the
case, made an examination OF the boy,
who appeared to be remarkably healthy.
he found no marks OF violence and
thinks the child must have swallowed
something while being chastised, or
was seized With spasms Of the epiRlot-
ais.
he will make post-mortem exami-
nation TO-DAY to decide the cause Of
death.

He still loved Ynez, the pretty girl in
the convent. Frank hired horse. and
the girl made a break for liberty. They
started to ride across the country to the
border but fortunately the trip was
without incident. Once on American
soil they were married by backwoods
preacher, the bride still wearing the
convent garments. She then changed
her cloth.s for natty street costume,
and with great glee they went back to
Tennessee. His father was greatly
pleased with the daughter-in-law and
everybody was happy. He told me last
evening that he had notified the girls
parents Of what he had done. No reply
had been received from them, and he
supposed they are very angry. He
thinks, however, that time will heal the
breach and all will be forgiven. 1t is
not often that men have such romantic
experiences in getting married"
