New YORK, April 1S.-A letter to the

March 18th, says: 81 have Just come from
the Department of War, where I was
able to obtain all the facts relative to the
second battle of Pozo de Almonte which,
as yet, had not been made public. At

night, spiked all the guns of the fortress
of Los Andes and captured the transport

man.
''In Pozo de Almonte the loyal troops
We're defeated, over LOO of their number
being dead, 1,500 wounded and l Zoo pris-.
oners. All the guns and artillery parks
in the north are in the hands of the in
surgents, and every steamer chartered
by the government to bring arms has
invariably been captured by the insur-
gents.
1.-THE Government is forcing into mill
tary service every man it can lay hands
on, and III many instances violence has
been used.
THE end of this fratricidal war is near
at hand. Demoralized by his recent de-
teats, and without any prestige, Balma-
ceda sees that he is gradually being forced
to the wall. He has made a new ennis
sion of S, ,000, 900 paper money and issued
an order by which nobody is allowed to
leave the country. In several instances,
noticeably near the Argentine frontier,
tourists have been stopped by Chilean
guards and thrown into prison.

A Man shoots His Mistress and Then

NEW YORK, April IS. - When the
steamship Elder swung out from the pier
in Hoboken this afternoon several of the
crew were swabbing up big pools of
blood in the steerage. A double tragedy
had been enacted there half an hour be-
fore.
Phillip Chavacker had killed Mrs.
Catherine Barth, and then sent bullet
crashing through his own weak brain.
Two children are left in Germany to
mourn the loss of the woman. She has q
husband there, too, but it is not likely
that he will she'd tears over her taking
off, because she left him to come with
Chavacker.
The suicide was soldier stationed at
the mines, and yielding to the persistent
pleading of the woman, came with her to

and wife. They lived on farm near
here, and the woman firing of her lover,
neglected him in many ways, and finally
announced her intention of returning
home. Ohnacker tried to change her
purpose, and followed her to the dock to
renew his pleadings. He had no money
to purchase a ticket to accompany her.
and, through desperation, said she should
not go. For reply, she walked aboard
the steamship and into the steerage. He
followed her.

NEW York, April IS.-A Nicaragua
letter from the staff correspondent of tho
Tribune says: The English here arc en-
t!rely hostile to tho American canal, and
are doing everything i'll their power to
discredit the enterprise. Having demons
strated to their own satisfaction the inn
practicability of the canal project, they
bring forward their railway scheme for
connecting the two coasts.
An English syndicate has been formed
for constructing railway from San Ubal
do, on thCeastern shore of Nicaragua,
to Ramo, on the edge of the Mosquito
Reservation. Surveys have been COM
pleted, and work has been begun on
the road-bed at San Ubaldc.
The engineers are now surveying the
boundary line of. Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, in accordance with the treaty and
President Cleveland's decisions. but there
is no certainty that ii will be accepted by
Nicaragua when the survey is completed.
The boundary question will have TO be
settled before the main work on the canal
can be undertaken, either with or with
out Government guarantee from the
United States.
Some degree of pressure must finally
be brought to bear upon the two jealous
States, In order to induce them to come
TO terms with each other, and ratify the
contracts and concessions with the canal
company, and cease wrangling over their
frontier lines. The United States Gov
ernment is IN a position to exert this
pressure whenever 1t desires to do so.

MARYsvILLE, April 1S.-In the Supe-
rior Court to-day Judge Davis rendered a
very important opinion relative to county
printing. Some time ago the Board OF
Supervisors of Yuba County designated
the Marysville Democrat as the county
official paper, and fixed the rates of print
ing.
The Assessor, Tax Collector and other
officers gave their work to the Marysville
Appeal, which did the printing accord
ing to the rates. The Democrat also pub
lished the same. The Supervisors re-
jected the Appeaps bill, but allowed the
other. The appeal then brought suit to
recover the amount of S376. The county
demurred, on the grounds that the COM
plant did not state grounds sufficient for
a cause of action.
Judge Davis oVerruled the demurrer.
The closing paragraph is as follows: 1--WE
have therefore come to the conclusion
that the County Government Act, intend
ing to furnish a complete system of
county government. has superseded and
repealed Section 4047 of the Political Code,
which empowered Boards of Supervisors
to contract for county printing, and that
now under said Act, after such boards
have fixed the price for such printing,
each county officer may procure such
printing as his office by law requires, at
the prices so fixed, from any person he
may elect to deal with, subject to the re-
strictions imposed by said Subdivision
%, and that such work viii be a legal
charge against the county,"
a similar case has been appealed from
the Justices Court to the Superior Court
OF Sutter County.

Nine Persons Killed and Another

Special to the SUNDAY UNION.

Special to the SUNDAY UNION.
CLEVELAND, April ia frightful
wreck occurred on the Lake Shore Rail
road at Kipton, about forty miles west of
here, this evening, in which six postal
clerks, two engineers and fireman were
killed.
The fast mail, No IA, bound east, col
lided with No. q, the Toledo express,
just as the latter train was about to haul
on siding to let the fast mail pass. The
fast mail was running at full speed, and
the collision was SO great that both en-
gines, three mail cars and one baggage
car were completely wrecked.
1t was the custom for the two trains to
pass at Kipton, the Toledo express taking
the side track for the fast mail, which
usually went through without slack kening.
The express was a few minutes late this
evening, and had just come to stop at the
switch when the fast mail came in sight.
The engineer of the fast mail applied the
brakes when he saw that q collision was
inevitable, but the speed of the train was
not checked materially.
The engine of the Toledo express was
Knocked squarely across the track, and
that of the fast mail reared in the air,
resting on top of the other The first
and second mail-cars were telescoped and
smashed to kindling wood, and the third
crashed into the first two and rolled over
on the station platform. Two baggage
cars OF the Toledo express were knocked
from the track, but did not turn over
The passengers were thrown to the
floors and badly shaken, but none were
seriously injured.
ssThe passengers at once began the work
of rescue, and with corps of physicians
from the town, ministered to the few who
were injured. All but one of the dead
We're beyond human assistance. The
Eodies were all horribly crushed and
mutilated, arms and legs being torn off,
and the corpseS almost beyond recog-
milton. The poor postal clerks were
Gagged like rats, and the telescoping of
the cars crushed the life out of them
without moments warning. The debris
Is piled in heap higher than the station.
1t is difficult TO locate the blame for the
accident, but it Is said that the express
was ordered to stop at Oberly's, but went
on to Kipton, and had not sufficient time
to make the side-track.

BENEFITS OF THE CoNGRESs.
CHICAGO. April 1S.-W. F. Forrest of
Seattle, the Washington delegate to the
Kansas City Commercial Congress, ar
rived here to-day.
Speaking of the congress, he said he
dld not think any good would come from
1t directly, but it will set people to think
ing, and in that way ultimately, perhaps,
will be of some benefit. While most of
the Pacific Coast would like TIE free coin
age of American silver, they want pro-
tective duty on it to keep out the foreign
product, at least until England agrees to
bimetallic standard. They don't be-
lieve the passage of such laws will prove
the panacea farmers expect.
"The trouble with the farmers" said
Forrest, ''is they think they are pretty
badly off, and not knowing exactly what
they need for relief, clutch at the free sill
yer idea and free trade, too. But they
won't get either"
