LEXINGTON. KY, July 30.-Two OF
the worst and most destructive wrecks
that have occurred in long time took
pla 4 on the Cincinnati Southern Rail-
road this morning, in which several peo-
pie where in iured and one or two chrush-
ed TO death. The first wreck occurred
one mile south Of High Bridge, when a
freight train coming north to this city
was thrown from the track by broken
axle and five heavily loaded cars went
tumbling down the embankmcnt. The
construction train al La Devllle was
ordered TO go to High Bridge and render
all possible assistance. When the train
arrived at a deep cut near Doneral 1t
collided with freight train. The en-
gines and a large number Of cars were
badly demolished. The engineer and
fireman Of the construction train jumped
from their engine and were unlnjured.
Ben Carroll, engineer Of the freight, and
his fireman, William Mckinley, were
both caught in their engine. Carroll re-
ceived slight cuts and bruises and Nc
Kinley was buried beneath iti.e engine.
When extracted he WAS mashed into a
pulp. All trains are blockaded. and Il
big excursion that was to leave here
this morning for Niagara Falls had to
90 over the Kentucky Central.

DEMOCRACY DIVIDED.
Intense Bitterness Between the Factions
In Charleston.

CHARLESTON, S. g., July 29.-The un,
terrified Democracy of Charleston went
to pieces today without bloodshed, but
with more bitterness than ever known
even in the days of active Republican
ism. n dual convention was held and
two executive committees are now in
the field. The reformers, with a large
number of bogus delegates, met in an
other part Of the city and marched
down to llibernian hall in body, head.

rushed into the hail capturing most Of
the chairs and started in to elect MIR.
Courtenay chairman before the chair
man, of the Democratic executive COM
mlttee had called the convention to Or
der. The chairman, however. called the
body to order, and then left the chair
with nobody to preside over the conven-
ton. The regulars jumped in then and
then elected B. T.. McCabe chairman,
and captured the books, records and
gravel. The retormerS then elected
Courteney chairman, and the two con-
VentlonS proceeded with business.
Futile efforts were made by the con-
ServativeS to bring about compromise.
The regulars offered to elect reform
chairman if both McCabe and Courte-
nay would vacate. Mr.. Courtenay de-
clined, and the two conventions went on.
both in the same hail, and elected each
one an executive committee. w. A.
Boyle was elected chairman by the reg
ulars and L. ID. JervIy by the reform

County failed some time ago, and, al
though the store was under the auspices
OF the County Alliance when the failure
came, the Alliance dis :laimcd all res

Baltimore firm, finding they could not
collect the debt, have entered suit IN the
United States Court for $2.025. 1t is

up. 1t is one ofthe FIRST of its kind ever
had in the country, and the decision will
