EVANSVILLE, Ind. Aug. 81. - A
wreck occurred on the Carmelton
branch of the Air Line railroad about
IL o'clock this morning, in which four
lives were lost. thirteen badly hurt and
eighteen slightly injured. The flange
of one of the forward trucks of the
engine broke while the train was run
ming at the rate of about thirty miles an
hour. The train at the time was on a
trestle two miles from Troy, Ind, The
engine passed over the trestle and
plunged down the embankment. The
train was a mixed one, the passenger
coach being next to the engine. The
coach followed the engine into the ditch
and rolled over on top of it. 1t was oc-
cupIed by about thirty people. The
steam pipes gave way and the scalding
steam entered the coach. Many of the
passengers were women and children.
Their screams were appalling. AS soon
as those who were slightly injured ex-
tricated themselves they began the
work of rescue.
All were gotten out, but none escaped
injury. Many were so badly burned
that their flesh was cooked in places
until it came off. Barbara Neimeyer,
eighteen years, daughter of wealthy
farmer of Perry county, was taken out
dead, having been terribly scalded.
Mrs. Canaough, of Terry, Ind, was ter
ribly burned and will die. Her little
ten-year-old son was taken from the
wrecked coach and died before reach
ing home. Emma Schue, ten years, died
after being taken out from her terrible
burns. Jacob App, engineer, and Fire
man John Tolle went down with the
wreck. Both are scalded, but not ia
tally. Conductor James Gordon is dan
gerously hurt, having a number of ribs
broken. The scene of the wreck is iso-
lated, and the information is meagre.
Only one telegraph wire reaches it, and
that has been down for hours. 1t is I'M
possible to learn the names of the in
jured. A physician at the wreck said
that the death list would probably reach
ten or twelve.
The most severely injured are: Katie
Kelshoe, Sidney Hess Henry Bodine,
Michael Elberthorne, William Newman,
Mrs. William Chase and child, Maggie
Hudson. Maurice Durbin and g. +.
Bolt. The wounded are all at Tell City,
and are receiving careful attention.

TILLMAN is wRATHY.
The louisville Cashier Says There
Is No Shortage.


DETROIT, Mich. Aug. 3l.-Tillman,
the cashier of the defunct Fall City
Bank of Louisville, KY, is safely across
the Canadian line in Windsor. He is
registered in his own name at the Craw-
ford house. He arrived Saturday even
ing. A dispatch from Louisville was
read to him which stated that he had
fled to avoid arrest foE embezzIlng bank
and trust funds.
ut is not true, " he declared. "rhere
is no shortage, and any one that pub
fishes the matter will be held RESPONSE
bic. The bank was bound up and July
10 assigned to the Mechanics Trust
company. The shortage of S37, 600 does
not exist. For three weeks after the
assignment | was engaged. together
with MIR. Sanders, who is secretary of
the Trust company, in winding up the
affairs of the bank. If there was
shortage, why did they not say some-
thing at the time? An examination
had then been made. | Was, and am
still cashier of the bank, as long as the
charter exists"
He was very much agitated while
talking. He declared the bank officials
and his family knew he was going away,
and that there was no secrecy about il.
lie said he came to Windsor ON personal
business, which was none of the public's.
and that he would return to Louisville
when that business was finished. On
the other hand it is claimed in Louis
vile that $4,000 is to be added to the
shortage in Eis accounts, making $780,
600 in all. HIS only bondsman is Charles
III. Petite, his brother-in-law. and, while
last years legislation would secure Till
mans eXtradition, it is not believed that
Petite will prosecute. The report that
the Guarantee company, of New York;
was on TIllman's bond is incorrect.

thus far to-day relative to affairs III
Chilli. Although they do not expect any
detailed news OF movements of the
troops, or the happenings of more i'm
portant events, they do expect brief adj
vices when matters of unusual import
ance occur.
Senior MOntt. the principal envoy, re-
fuses to discuss his future action to-
wards attempting to receive recognition
for the constitutional government from
the United States. When spoken TO
about the matter he said, in effect, that
he was willing to tell what was going on
III ChHi, but that he begged to be eX-
cused from telling what was going on
IN Washington. Senior Montt expects
the Junta, which has lett Iquique for
Santiago. to reach Valparaiso in about
three days. The distance, he says, is
between 800 and 900 miles.
The CHILEAN situation, so far as the
United States government is advised,
has not changed within the past twenty
four hours. The dispatches re-
ceiyed this morning are merely
of a confrmatory character, and
throw but little additional light
on affairs. No steps has been taken
towards recognizing the insurgent party
as the ruling party of Chill. Neither
CHILEAN Minister Lazcano nor the con-
gressiOnal ENJOYS, Messrs. Montt and
Foster, were at the state department to-
day. Secretary Blaine is kept con-
stantly advised by Acting Secretary
Wharton of the CHILEAN situation.

derra is small town, and the American
bank. branch of the Higginsville bank
of the same name, is a small bank. 1t
only has two employees, a cashier and
bookkeeper, The bookkeeper was out
on business at 2:30 o'clock this after
noon when two men rode up to the
bank, dismounted, walked into the
bank, shut the door and locked 1t before
the cashier took notice of what was
going on.
When the latter did take notice, he
noticed that two revOlvers were leveled
at his head. At the same time one of
the men commanded him to throw up
his hands. He obeyed. One of the
men kept him covered with a revolver
while the other went through the bank.
He secured only $500 in currency, rep
resenting the receipts of the day and a
small balance which was not included
in Saturdays remittance to the parent
bank at Higginsyille. Having OBJ
tanned all the money in sight, the rob-
bers mounted their horses and fled in
the direction of Lexington. Officers are

DIAZ IN DANGER.
Mexico's President May Have a
Revolution to Suppress.

NCAICO - L 1dNO al
Revolution to Suppress.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3f.-Private
advices from the City of Mexico state
that the outcome of the war in Chill is
anxiously awaited in Mexico, and, in
case the insurgents won, the result will
hasten the revolution now smouldering
in the land of the Aztecs. The letter,
which comes from an old and prominent
citizen of Mexico, says that i'll truth
Diaz is the Balmaceda of Mexico, and
that he is guilty of nearly the same
Otfenses against human liberty as Bal
maceda. Like the president of Chill,
President DiaZ has mad a career of ty-
ranny. He has suppressed all public
meetings and all newspapers antagon-
istic to him and his policy. He has col
lected taxes and disbursed public money
without authority. He has throttled
free speech and free press in Mexico,
and has put to de attn half score Of
Mexican journalists.
1t will not be many days before a seri-
| Gus blow will be struck by the people
against the dictatOrial reign of Diaz In
| furthering his personal interest, Diaz is
charged with combining with foreign
capitalists and accepting brides from
foreign corporations in return for Valu-
able concessions. While he has become
a man of great wealth, the people of his
republic have grown poorer and poorer.
AS the leader of the Liberal party, and
against the Clerical, DiaZ has gradually
become more and more popular with the
masses, who are Catholic and members
of the Clerical party. The fact that the
natives are with the ClericalS makes the
antagonism to DiaZ overwhelming.
| Ever since the marriage OF Diaz to an
| American Protestant, the wrath of the
| masses has been nurSed, but has grown
until now it can be kept within bounds
no longer.
During the past few days important
military changes have taken place, and
| DiaZ, who reads the handwriting on the
SurrectiOn that may take place. The
! Clericals, however, pay no attention to
| the movements of the military, for they
outnumber the soldiers of DiaZ ten to
one. DiaZ has been polite in appoint
ing his personal friends as governors of
different states. and in each state the
DiaZ governor has been given absolute
| control of the militia in his provinces.
Diaz and his followers, who are in a
| hopeless minority, are in reality trem-
| bling in the balance, and the situation
has grown so critical during the last
| few weeks that strict guard is kept,
and at the first sign Of an Outbreak
DiaZ proposes to slaughter the revolu-
tionsts in way which he hopes will
awe and terrorize the natives who are
| against him. There seems to be no out
come to the present critical condition of
affairs but fierce and bloody reyolu-
ton.

consent of Turkey, all merchant ships
being also required to show their pa
perS to the Ottoman authorities.
To her powerful enemy the porte APP
pears to have been forced to submit IL
the most humble manner, though there
is no reason to doubt that Turkey must
first have asked the five powers il they
were willing to support her, should she
still further contest the point. Appar-
emily the powers have not thought the
matter worth troubling about i'll 1891,
though ten years back such demand
might have led 10 war. And so it is
that the porte submits. and besides pay
ing an indemnity Russia for the de
tention of her steamers, the precedent
is established which will permit of al
such vessels in future being allowed to
pass the Dardanclles in spite of the
treaty. The st. James Gazette this
evening holds that the submission of
the porte to Russia's demands estab-
fishes precedent which permits Rus
sian war ships to use the passage of the
Dardanelles as they please, while tie
war ships of other nations must not
enter those straits. This news, there
fore, according to the same paper, is by
far the gravest published for some time.
BERLIN, Aug. 3l.-The press here is
lncIeuuIOuS regarding the report or Tie
Turkish sultan's submission to RuSsia's
demands respecting the recent deten-
ton of Russian volunteer fleet steamers
at the Dardanelles. The Vossisches
Zeitung says that such action on tile
sultan's part would Justify the removal
of Turkey from among the independent
states OF Europe.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-The Standard sug-
gestS that the sultan'S action in regard
to Russia and the Dardanelles may be
due to pique and irritation at England's
refusal to reopen the Egyptian negotia-
tons. 1t says: "Since that refusal it
is reported that the English ambassa-
dor has not been received at the Ildie1
kiosk. 1t is for the powers -
consider what course to adopt to enforce
the observance of existing treaties.
Clearly the straits must be either closed
to all nations or open to all nations.
England cannot alone champion the
rights of the powers"
BERLIN, Aug. 31.-The National Ga
Zette argues that the initiative in the
DardanelleS matter fails upon England
and says: cit would be in exceedingly
bitter irony of fate if, Immediately
after the Portsmouth reception. Eng
land should be compelled by Russia,
Frances ally, to defend her."

CHILrS NEXT PRESIDENT.
Don Augustin Edwards the Prob
able Choice.

LONDON. Aug. 31.-It is reported here
on the strength of statements made by
the Congressional agents III Paris and
London, that Don AugIstin Edwards
will be the next president of Chilli. He
is one of the wealthiest, If not the
wealthiest of Chilians, and in the early
period of the insurrection he supplied
his funds lavishly for the support of the
revolutionary cause. He has many
friends in the higher class in England
and on the continent, and is largely in
tereSted in the nitrate trade. He has a
splendid farm in Chill, which, up to
the time of the war, was stocked
with the best blooded cattle that
money could obtain in Europe. These
cattle, during the war, were slaughtered
for food for Balmaceda's troops, and the
property of Edwards, both in city and
country, was laid waste. He narrowly
escaped with his own life. The Con-
gresslonalistS have always looked TO
him as their leading representative, al
though he has not taken an active per-
sonal part in naval or military affairs.
The active head of the revolution has
been George Montt, who, with Silva
and BarrOS Luca, formed the governing
junta. 1t is said that Montt is III favor
of Edwards for president. The Con-
gressionaists have, within the past few
days, brought strong pressure to bear
oil the British foreign Office to secure
British influence against the transfer to
Balmaceda of the silver shipped from
Valparaiso in a British war vessel.
There is very little likelihood that the
treasure will be turned over to Balma-
cana

ONE FORWARD STEP.
Russia Gains the Right to Enter
the DardaneIles.

LONDON, Aug. 31.-The Standards
Constantinople correspondent says:
1.-The sultan has yielded to all Russia's
demands respecting the Dardanelles,
which henceforth will be opened to Rus
sian vessels when closed to others. The
sultan has abjectly apologized for the
recent detention of Russian vessel,
and has punished the officers response
bic therefor, and has promised AN in
demnity forthwith"

founded on fact. The question at issue

New YORK. Aug. 31.-The World

success in great measure undoubtedly
to the skill and experience of Col. Ker-
ner, who was brought from Germany
by the Gillian government as instruc-
tor in modern warfare. but who quar-
relied with the Balmacedans and gave
his services to the opposition. The
fighting was not only fierce, but fiend-
ish. The bodies of the Balmacedan
generals BarboSa and Alcerreca, who
fell in the hottest of the engagement,
were fIghtfully mutilated. The gov
eminent torpedo boat Lynch made a
weak attempt to retrieve the govern
ment's crushing disaster. 1t fired eX-
actly three shots, and struck its flag
after a heavy fusilade from the shore.

MUTUAL DISLIKE.
The AK Trust and Labor Unions
at War.


New YORK, Aug. 31.-The American
AK and Tool company is composed Of
nine AK factories, and controls about
half of the production of axes in this
country. To-day the employees of five
factories went out Oh strike, caused
by the efforts Of the company to
disc ourage the growth of the labor
unions. These factories are the largest
and most important ones in the COM
pany. Both sides appear very confident
of winning. The company claims that
it will permit the shops to rot down be-
fore allowing the unions to exist in
them, and the men declare that they
will leave the different towns and hunt
other work rather than abandon their
organization. The Federation Of Labor
has agreed to pay each married man en-
gagged in the strike the sum of So per
week, and each unmarried man 50 per
wee while the fight lasts.

GRAND FORKS. n. D., Aug. S1.-In-
tense Indignation here at the Chicago
News editorial under the heading
"North Dakota's Calamity''is expressed.
The wheat crop just harvested in this
state exceeds 100000 bushels. Com
missioner of Agriculture Helgesen's Of
fetal estimate places the wheat acreage
at 100000, and an average yield of II
bushels per acre, with an aggregate es-
innate of 100000 bushels. These esti-
mates will fall short of the actual crop.
Reports from sections where threshing
has commenced everywhere exceed the
estimates. Wheat threshed in Grand
Forks county to-day yielded 3S bushels
per acre. Oats in Nelson county
threshed Saturday yielded 235
bushels from two and half acres. The
chamber of commerce talks of making
up fund to send transportation to the
editor of the Chicago News to come and
see the North Dakota calamity.

cued just in Time.
New YORK, Aug. 31.-The steamer
Arizona, which arrived this morning,
brought with her eight members of the
crew of the ship Sea Gull, which was
wrecked in terrific gale oft the African
coast. There was twenty-six all told of
the Sea Gull's crew, and of these all
were drowned except those picked up
by the Arizona. When found they were
floating on raft and frantically wav-
ing signals of distress. All of them
were terribly emaciated from hunger,
and some were hardly able to
stand when lifted to the ArizOna's
decks. On board the big steamer every
thing possible was done for their COM
fort, and when they arrived here they
were much improved in their condition.
Not only the officers but the passengers,
among whom there was much excite
ment, showered attentions upon the
shipwrecked mariners. The eight sur
vivorS are the first mate, the cook and
six of the crew.
