RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
An Express Jumps the Track and SmasheS
Into 81 Freight.

LIMA, o., Dec. IA frightful wreck
occurred on the Pittsburgh, Ft Wayne
& Chicago road, two miles east of this
city, Wednesday morning. The
wrecked train was the Colum bian ves-
tibule express train, west bound which
was a half hour late, and which was
speeding along to make up lost time.
The train was due here at 9:22 o'clock
and about $3.50 the engine pulled in
without the train. All the medical and
surgical aid in the city was summoned
and a train made up to take assistance
add relief to the sufferers in all posi-
BILE haste. The sleeping-car, Arden"
lay on its side in ditch. The Delphos
sleeper was upright, but badly
wrecked, and the Partisan diuing car
was in similar condition. In the
front end of the dining car was wedged
freight engine No. 1O7, which was
standing on the side track.
In the front end of the dining car
were the cooks busy getting breakfast.
and when the crash came Chief II.
j. Manuel and J. H. Augustus, both of
Chicago, were in the kitchen at work.
Manuel was caught by the locomotive
and wedged between the boiler and
some timber, and was literally roasted
alive. His cries for help was piteous in
the extreme. He lived about half
hour. Augustus was also buried in the
wreck, and was horribly mashed. He
is dying. He was not rescued for over
an hour, and was horribly bruised and
scalded.
phe fireman on the freight train was
caught between the tender and boiler
and both his legs masned off. His name
is P. j. Nulf, and his home is in Fort
Wayne, Ind. He can hardly survive
He is married and has family.
About dozen passengers were more or
less injured.

EXCITED TAXPAYERS
Overwhelmed tho Hamilton, O.
County Treasury.
Delay in Receiving Taxes the Cause. Pa
troll Wagons Called TO Quiet the crowd
Women Faint and Mon Crushed
Receiving Windows Broken.

CINCINNATI, Dec. with the singlo
exception of the Berner riot. never in
the history of the Hamilton county
courthouse were such exciting scenes
witnessed as were seen shortly after
nine o'clock Friday morning.
The failure of Treasurer Brooks in
stating that there would be an extern
sion of time gave people the impression
that the usual fine would be collected,
and there being only three days of
grace remaining, a crowd of fully two
thousand people, eager to pay their
taxes before the Goth, gathered on Main
street clamoring for admission.
Like great wave the great tide of
excited peopled rushed forward, men,
women and bows, rich men and poor,
bankers, merchants and farmers, black
and white. all in one conglomerated
mass The great hall of she treasury
is hanked on three sides with counters,
shut off from view by heavy colored
plate glass, behind which the clerks
stood ready to receive the cash.
By the time the front ranks reached
this glass partition the whole mass had
gained such fearful momentum that
those in front were forced against the
railing and the animated mass piled in
upon itself till the whole hall was one
solid block of people, wedged in so
tightly that many were lifted entirely
off their feet.
The scene at this moment was fright
full Those against the partition, in
their desperate efforts to get breathing
space, began clim bing over the top of
it. Somebody broke one of the heavy
plates of glass and following this ex-
ample dozens of hands and canes were
thrust at the fragile partition and the
crash of broken glass was everywhere
heard Men fought and swore and
women screamed and tainted. The air,
filled with the outpourings of so many
lungs, absolutely stung, and a cry was
raised for air.
George Losh, the treasurer's cashier,
never looked whittier in his life than he
did when the crowd rushed up against
the windows and broke the stained
glass.
He said he expected a repetition of
the riot of 1884, and it would have taken
very little more trouble to have precip-
itated the mob into genuine riot of
first-class proportions Losh locked
up the safe and stood ready to vacatc
the premises in case of emergency
Nothing could be done with the peo-
Pile and the police were telephoned for.
Lieut.. Tom Gill and a squad, consisting
of Sergeant Watson and Patrolmen
Russell, Vessel, Guynn, Sylvester.
Smeeds, Schwinher and King, started
for the scene. While they were coming
several women succum bed to the dread
full strain and tainted. They were
lifted through the broken windows and
carried to a drug store across the street,
where they were revived One man
was SO badly cut up and crushed that
he was taken to the hospital by pa

TOBACCO CONSPIRACY.
Efforts to Import Havana Wrappers as
Fillers Exposed-Milllons of Imported
Leaf Examined.

Efforts to Import havana wrappers NJ
Fillers Exposed-Milllons of Imported
Leaf Examined.
New York, Dec. 1S.-What appears
to have been bold and extensive
scheme to defraud the government in
importations of Havana tobacco is be-
ing unearthed by the special treasury
agents at the custom house. There are
stored in the bonded warehouse of this
port so, 900 bales OF Havana tobacco,
averaging about 800 pounds to the bale,
all of which was entered as 'fillers,"
dutiable at thirty five cents per pound.
BY direction of the treasury department,
on information furnished by certain
reputable tobacco importers, the spe-
cial agents are examining all of this
tobacco. They have found that about
ninety per cent of the tobacco exam
ined is fraudulent The bales exam
ined consist largely of the finer grades
of leaf tobacco, which is used for wrap
pers, and is assessed two dollars a
pound, instead of thirty-fve cents. In
one warehouse fully two-thirds of all
the bales are made up of leaf tobacco,
with small quantity of pieces cover
ing the outside.
The officers refuse at present to give
the names of the importers alleged to
be in the conspiracy. They are few in
number. The loss to the government
would have been many thousand dol
lars. There is no loss, because the to-
bacco is still in bond, and the duties
are not paid. There is reason to be-
lieve, however, that the fraud has been
successfully worked in the past.

THE POPE.
Austria Emphatically Opposed to
the Exile Of the Pontiff,
Or Any Modification of the Regula-
tions Governing the Conelave.
Tho Vatican Instructs Its Nuncio TO Paris
to he Very Pacific-Movement to Boom
Cardinal Serallno VRnnutilli For
the Succession to Leo XIII.

ROME, Dec 17-The Nuncio at VII
emma has written to the vatican saying
that the idea of an exile or a modifica-
ton of the regulations governing the
conclave is very coldly received in di-
plomatic circles there, and especially by
the emperor 1t is believed at the vat
lean that Count Kalnoky's speech in
reference to the papal question was
made under instructions from the en-
peror, in order to give some comfort to
the pope, in view of the modification
caused him by the pilgrim disorders in
October. At the same time care was
taken not to give the least offense to
Italy.
Cardinal Rampolla thinks the speech
had a triple aim; to ALLEVIATE France
from the pore, and vice versa; to alarm
the Quirinal, banishing any idea of a
rapproachment with France and Rus
sia, and at the same time to shake the
position of Cardinal Rampolla himself,
who is no favorite with the leading
spirits of the triple alliance.
On the conclusion of the trial of tho
archbishop of AK, instructions were
| dispatched to the nuncio at Paris to
adopt an even more accentuated policy
of pacification. The prosecution is re-
garded here as only a passing cloud,
which will not permanently affect the
present good relations between France
and the vatican.
The revolution in Brazil has greatly
interested the vatican. Fonseca has as
sured the pope that Brazil would pre-
serve its religious liberty. The new gov
ernment was no sooner instituted than
it renewed these assurances, which
have made the best impression at the
vatican.
notwithstanding the declarations of
the bishop of Limerick, who has just
returned to Ireland from Rome, there
are excellent reasons for believing that
a new programme in regard to Irish
affairs is being elaborated at Rome, in
view of recent developments and the
increasing influence OF the Irish hier.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-It is rumored
here that Chilian affairs are approach
ing crisis. The Chilian government
has issued its final response to the
United States in regard to the killing
of American sailors at Valparaiso,
and it is said that the reply is anything
but satisfactory.
1t is believed in Washington that af-
fairs are in very strained condition
and war is possible. Confidence in this
belief was strengthened Wednesday by
an extraordinary order. 1t states
that hereafter the movement of naval
vessels shall not be published, and
shall not be given out of the depart

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The Herald has
dispatch from Valparaiso, stating
that there is certain knowledge as to
the existence of plot either to set fire
to the United States legation, or to the
adjoining house, in order to furnish IL

WARLIKE MOOD.
Tho Navy Department Miffed at
the Chilians.
President Harrison May Send n Special
Message TO Congress Proclaiming the
Necessity of Resorting to
Extreme Measures.

New YORK, Dec. IA special from
Washington 10 the Herald says the
navy department is in warlilke mood.
It was stated about the department
Wednesday that the Chilians are delay
ing their reply to our demand for infor-
nation concerning the Valparaiso Incl
dent for the purpose of gaining time so
hhat their new war vessel, Captain Prat,
which will be the most formidable Of
lheir fleet, is completed.
The situation thus outlined was dis
cussed with eagerness and the opin-
ion was freely advanced that President
Harrison would in all likelihood take
measures to chechmate Chilli in this
matter by sending special message to
congress in the next two weeks, recit-
ing the fact that explanation and re-
paration had been demanded of Chill
without avail, and proclaiming the
necessity of informing Chilli that this
country will resort to extreme meas
ures if the desired response is further
delayed beyond reasonable and speci-
fed time.
The wisdom of this course. it is ar
gued, would be apparent The Captain
Prat is now building in France, and
can not be finished in less than two
months or more Meanwhile, if Presi-
dent Harrison and congress should
cause declaration of war by the
United States against Chilli, it would
prevent France from delivering the
vessel to Chilli, and would save New
York and other Atlantic cities from
danger Of bombardment by that vessel
In case of wer the advantages of this
move would be apparent.

LONDON, Dec. 19.-A largely attended
meeting of the English holders of the
Virginia debt was held Friday, and
after considerable discussion it was de-
cided by vote of 80 to II to accept the
agreement effected between the Vir-
ginia state debt commission and the
Olcott committee in a settlement of tho
debt.
The Olcott committee, it will be re-
membered, offered the state to accept
eighteen millions of new three-per-cent.
bonds, 10 millions of two per cent
bonds, rising to ~ after five years. and
per cent after ten years. This was
accepted The bonds and interest cou-
pons are to be of the same character as
the Riddleberger bonds, and not receiv-
able for taxes. 1t is stated in the agree
ment that there are only $2S, 900, 600 OF
the old bonds outstanding, but this, it
las been added, is probably arrived at
by ignoring the coupons maturing on
bonds since they were deposited.

Successful Torpedo Tegts,

pedo was given another official trial
Friday before the board and Commo-
dore Folger, chief of the board of
ordnance, who was on the tug Fortune,
while the torpedo was fred from the
torpedo boat Stilleto. The trial was
the best yet had and Commodore Fol-
ger expressed himself as we'll satisfied
and intimitated that the contract for
thirty torpedoes would be filed, though
there are yet few technical trials re-
naming. Four shots were fired at nine
to ten feet below the surface at range
of 400 yards and all struck within a
space of twenty feet, one striking with
in two feet of the center of the net.

New YORK, Dec 2i.-A Herald Wash
ington special says active preparations
for war still continue in the navy de-
partment Steps have ieen made tc
secure the most available vessels IL
the merchant marine for possible SER
vice in Chilan waters. Arrangements
have been made in San Francisco to
charter if necessary. from 80 to 30 ves-
sells, to be used as transports and coll
liers.
Preparations, so far as the regular
naval vessels were concerned, having
been made as complete as possible, the
bureau of naval intelligence acting
under instructions, has pre- pared list
of merchants vessels available in case
war is declared.
An offer from New York ship own
er of a score or more of small vessels
to carry COAL has met with the thanks
of the department, and request that
he hold his vessels so as to have them
ready on "a hours notice has been
made.
Naval officers are also looking about
New York for vessels to be used in the
torpedo service. 1t has been reported
by them that the most available craft
for this service are the fast private
yachts of the metropolis
1t is urged that these yachts be very
| quickly converted into torpedo boats
and cruisers, and the belief is expressed
that they will prove fully as effective
as the torpedo craft of the Gillian
navy. According to naval authorities
our weakest point now is lack of tor
| pedoes.
Orders hurrying up the two firms
who have contracts to furnish tor
| pedoes have recently been issued. The
! firms have replied that they are bend
ing every energy to furnish torpedoes
as rapidly as the contracts call for
them.
Activity is also displayed in the war
department Informal consultations
have taken place between army and
navy officials as to the cooperation of
the two forces in the event of trouble.
1t has been represented that the army
will be able to furnish on short notice
| $4,000 men for transportation either
! from San Francisco or Galveston. The
naval officials say that fully that num-
Der of men will be required.
In spite of the extreme measures
taken by the army and navy depart
ments, the belief that there will ne war
with Chilli grows less and less here.
The general belief is that Chill will
eventually yield to the demands of the
