COLIIOING TRAINS.

ST. PAUL, Oct. ga serious wreck &C.
CURED at o'clock this morning at Taopi,
100 miles south of st. Paul, at the cross
ing of the Milwaukee and Kansas City
roads. The Milwaukee freight was five
minues behind time and the Kansas City
passenger train collided with il on the
crossing. Two men were killed and sew
eral injured Engineer Chambers of the
freight tried to stop his train. but with
out avail. When the two engines met he
was pitched headlong against the side Of
the car and instantly killed A tramp
stealing a ride on the passenger train WAS
also killed. No one was injured in the
passenger coaches. Fireman Thorson of
the Milwaukee train will probably die.
Tine crew of the freight lay the blame on
the other crew, but they will be held
pending an investigation.

CORN FOB EXPORT.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29-The demand
for corn for export, which has been ex-
pected this year, is just beginning to APP
pear. Exporters are already interesting
themselves In engaging freight room as
far ahead as January and February. The
report came Tuesday that twenty vessels
had been engaged at the four leading ports
of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Newport News, but chiefly at Balti-
more, where, it was said, thirteen vessels
were engaged. Taking as an average
100000 bushels to the vessel, it is estimated
that 100000 bushels have already been
engaged for shipment. This estimate is
probably far below the actual figures, for
1t is said that in the local market one firm
alone has engaged 100000 bushels of the
new crop, which will undoubtedly be sold
for export, and il is estimated that 2,OOO,-
900 bushels have already been engaged for
the local market. These vessels are sup
pused to have been chartered by exporters
who made sales based on lower rates of
freight, which have been raised recently
on account of the large export demand. it
Is thought hat the large demand will soon
cause another advance in freight rates
The chartering of so many vessels at this
time denotes an advance Of two or three
weeks IN the time that shipments usually
begin.

arrangement consists in substituting f0r
| the present furnace fronts steam heatinE
chambers of the same strength as the
boiler. These chambers, which do not IL
terfere with the CRATE furnace, are at start
ing filled with water from the bottom Of
the boiler, or from any point of the boiler
where there is no circulation. A small fire
is Lighted in the furnace at first, which
heats the water in the chambers, and by
degrees the remainder Of the water in the
boiler becomes heated, and the shell is
gradually warmed, a uniform temperature
being attained During this period there
is neither pressure nor steam used, and as
soon as the circulation ceases by reason Of
the accumulation of temperature, the
heaters become auxiliary boilers, assisting
the larger one. As soon as the TEN perature
has become uniform the fires are hurried
and steam is raised TO a working pressure.
The primary work Of the heaters being &C
complished, the chambers are used az feed
water heaters. The feed water, instead Of
going into the boiler direct, Is diverted into
the heaters and becomes heated to a tera-
perat re of 200 degs. Fahrenheit. 1t viii
thus be seen that the arrangement is that
OF combined automatic circulatOr and
feed water heater, which not only does not
rob the boiler of steam, but arrests and
utilities heat which would otherwise be
wasted, or rather worse than wasted, as il
radiates into the stock hole, and in some
circumstances renders it unbearable. The
steamship on which the system has been
at work for nearly two years is the Carig-
anshire, vessel Of nearly 8, 200 tons. The
results Of its application are stated by the
in charge TO be entirely satisfac-
tory. There has been DO trouble whatever
with IL, and the temperature In the stoke
hole Is found TO be reduced By q degs.
A further important point IS the fuel

THE KENTUCKY CONSTITUTION.

LOUISVILLE, Oct 29-Judge Montfort
of the Franklin circuit has rendered a de-
cision in the suit brought by ex-Commis-
sIoner of Internal Revenue Walter Evans
to enjoin the printing of the new constitu-
ton. Evans claims that the revision of
the constil ution by the convention after
the vote by the people was improper and
rendered the instrument void Judge
Montfort holds that Evans and Miller, the
plaintiffs, cannot properly sue where the
whole people are interested, and says the
only way the revised constitution can be
set aside is by another convention elected
by the people. The case will 20 TO the
court of appeals, when the revised consti-
ution will almost certainly be sustained.

THE MILITARY SIGNAL SERVICE.


WASHINGTON, Oct 29-Brigadier Gen
eral Greedy, chief signal officer, in his an
nual report makes a special point of the
necessity for an improvement in the mill
tary field system. He speaks of the i'm
portance attached to this service in for
eign countries, where great care Is given
TO its development If the professional
standing OF the American army is to be
maintained, a similar application must be
made in this country; otherwise a few
years would leave the entire army un-
skilled in the most important OF modern
appliances Ample ma erlal and support
is necessary 10 raise the signal corps to
high standard of efficiency and to keep it
abreast with modern progress. The de
velopment of the heliOgraph, flash light
and telephone have become potent factors
in civilized warfare, and any neglect to
provide suitable means for the military
corps charged with the stndy, practice and
operation OF the same cannot commend
itself to any thoughtful mind.
As a result of the improved efficacy OF
their signal CORDS. the French military au-
thorities congratulate themselves on the
speedy and accurate manner In which the
military maneuvers of this year, involving
The handbag of 10000 men, were accurate
" and promptly performed.
The chief signal officer has long appre-
ciated the importance of balloons in active
military operations, aud be has made a
special estimate for the purchase and con-
struction of military balloons, which are a
necessary adjunct to the permanent equip
ment of the signal corps.
A liberal appropriation is asked for to
determine by experiment the best mechan-
ism for a powerful flash light for night
signalling and search purposes
