GUATEMALA VS.. SALVADOR

Rumors of Impending War Between
the Two Countries.
SAN SALVADOR, Tex, Sept. 21.-Foi
the past few days vague rumors have
been afoat regarding impending trouble
between Guatemala and Salvador. The
reason for the hostile movement is not
clearly understood here, because there
has not been the slightest cause for it
given by General Ezetos' admlnistra-
ton.
Salvador hates war, but will fight if
she is obliged to do 50 by the ambition
of Guatemala's chiefs. 1t is believed
Guatemala viii be the country to start
the trouble. Salvador is now, as an
actual fact, perfectly at peace.
One strong proof Of Guatemala's
secret preparations at the frontier is the
fact that her government has wilfully
stopped all telegraphic communication
with San Salvador. Following Guate-
mala's example, Honduras, under the
pretext OF its elections, actually stopped
all communications.

Said to Have Written the Murohi-
son Letter TO Sackville-West.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-Peter W.
jackson, a lawyer of Fresno, asserts
that d, knows Miss Vera Ava well, and
that his relatives in England live on an
estate adjoining that of her father. He
says that she came to this country in
1887 With her brother, and passed some
time IN California. Later he heard she
had returned to England.
Jackson has no 6oubt that the Vera
Ava now in Cincinnati and the English
woman whom he knew are the same.
Two friends who came with Jackson
from England expressed the same opin-
ion, although none of them had seen
Miss Ava for years. Her father, they
say, was wealthy.
Mr.. Bevering, one of the men In ques-
ton, says rhat when Ava and her
brother came to California they passed
some time at Pomona, and it was al
ways the belief of Bevering and his
friends that her brother was the author
of the famous Murchison letter which
appeared in the campaign of 1883, and
resulted in the recall of Lord Sackville-

A Bad Freight Wreck.

GREENsBURG, Pa, Sept. 2l.-A bad
freight wreck occurred two miles east
of here on the Pennsylvania railroad
yesterday in which Fireman Rodgers,
Engineer Crawford and Brakeman STAN
ley were badly hurt and 40 cars and an
engine demolished. The wreck was
caused by the breaking in two of west
bound freight train on steep grade
and the two parts of the train coming
together again with terrible force. The
wreckage was scattered over both
tracks. AT this moment an east bound
freight train running at high rate of
speed came along and crashed into the
wrecked west bound train. The engine
of the east bound train, together with
twenty cars laden with hogs and mer-
chaniise, rolled over the embankment.
Fireman Rodgers, of the east bound
train, went over the embankment under
the ma&s of wreckage His escape from
instant death was miraculous, but after
some hard work he was rescued from
the huge mass of debris badly cut and
bruised, but not fatally hurt. Shortly
after Rogers rescue the debris took fire,
the bodies of the dead hogs and large
amount of merchandise being burned.

Suspects His Mother-in-Law.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 21.-Judge Dennis
has issued writ commanding Mrs.
Martha A. Williams to produce in court
her daughter Ella, who became the
wife, on last Wednesday, of Thomas o.
Squires. The bride is not yet II years
old and the groom is about 80. Mrs.
Williams was opposed to the marriage,
so they eloped. The mother refused to
forgive her daughter. Yesterday the
young wife disappeared from her hus-
bands house, and, according to the
mothers statement, came home to re-
pent. She complained that she had
been cruelty treated. Squires, how
ever, believes that his mother-in-law
has his wife under lock and key, and
hence his appeal to the courts. Mrs.
Williams she says knows nothing of her
daughters whereabouts.
