DEATH IN A TUNNEL.
Railroad Wreck Under Ground
in New York City.
SIX OF THE VICTIMS BURNED.
Misplaced Signals Allow Two Trains to

Cars Take Fire.

NEW York, Feb. 20-A horrible accident
occurred early this morning in the middle
Of the railway tunnel through Fourth ave.
nue., near Fifty-ffth street, resulting in
the death of six people aud painful injury
to several more. The Boston express,
which had been emptied of passengess,
was moving slowly through the tunnel
toward the shops, where it was to be
cleaned. There were q dozen or more car
cleaners on board. The fog was Dense A
New Haven accommodation train, which
had left the Grand Central station soon
after, came up Mt high rate of speed, and
crashed into the rear of the other, COM
pletely demolishing the last two cars.
They took fire Immediately. and the smoke
pouring up through the opening in the
OF policeman, and fire engine was
quickly on the scene. The flames were ex-
tinguished as soon as possible and the
work of rescue began.
As the firemen began clearing away the
debris, the sight was awful. Dead and
roasted bodies in all conceivable attitudes
were found. One man was still alive when
taken out, but died in a few minutes.
Every fresh body brought out steamed as
If it had been par-boiled.
The dead are: Mrs. Nellie Supple, John
Hancke, John Murray and James Flynn, a
car cleaner; H. Killian, train boy, and an
unknown man, burned beyond recogni-
ton, supposed to be the colored sleeping
car porter, Daniel Culbertson William
y. Brown and another empIoye named
Rankin were badly but not fatally hurt.
Engineer Fowler, of the New Haven
train, was arrested and committed without
bail Both he and the fireman assert that
the block signals were set for clear track.
Lights on the rear of the Boston train had
been extinguished, and the fog was too
dense for them to see it.

IKE WEIR IN JAIL.


SAN Francisco, Feb. 20.-lSpecial. l.
Since his return from Aust ralia Ike Weir
has been dissipating. He, however, came
to the end of his tether this morning in
Jail. All yesterday Weir and two compan-
ions were driving IN and around Sausalito
in buggy. Almost every saloon in the
place was visited, and it was not long be-
fore the trio were drunk At 1 80 this
morning they ran across an old French
carpenter, whom they began to abuse The
old man made some retort, when Weir and
his friends fell upon the defenseless old
man and beat him numerically. They
were not content to use their hands only
upon him, but kicked and dubbed him into
insensibility. Hearing the scufiiing and
cries for help, a gentleman who lives near
at hand opened his window, and seeing
what was going on, pointed his pistol at
the group and swore that he would shoot
Weir and his companions If they did not
desist. This frightened the trio and they
disappeared.
subsequently Constable Greed arrested
Weir and charged him with battery The
old Frenchman is said to have had 500 on
his person. This money has disappeared.
Weir is to be charged with robbery and
mayhem as well rs battery.
In court this morning Weir was fined
$50, and paid the money. The other
charges have not yet been put against him.

the Best Interests OF the Demo-

NEW YORK, Feb. 20. Especial. l-Grover
Cleveland was shown dispatch from
Washington City today which stated most
emphatically, and purported to be given
on the best authority, that Mr.. Cleveland
would not suffer his name to be used as
candidate III the next presidential CAM
paign, and that he was about to write q
letter to that effect. The dispatch said
further that caucus of his friends had
been held with view to uniting upon
some other Democrat for 1892, as all per-
suasion had failed with Mr.. Cleveland.
His statement in denial of the report was
taken down by stenogragher, and is as
follows:
have never had such intention. In point of
fact, am not giving very much thought to the
matter stated in the dispatch you show me.
have not said anything in public or private to
lead anyone to believe that am anxious to OBJ
tain denomination to the presidency. My
ideas OIL that subject are quite we'll understood
by all with whom have conyersed, and who are
at all entitled to be called my friends If
II be true that there has been con-
suitation of my Democratic friends at
when conference my name was mentioned,
such confidence in the unselfsh Democracy of
my friends that whatever they may determine
on, am sure will be for the good of the party.
have not expressed to them any settled deter
mination toaching my relations to the next
campaign, and there has therefore been no DC.
casion for them to attempt TO have me change
such determination.

THE HIGH OHIO FALLING FAST.
Immense Damage Wrought in West vir-
ginia--Bad Storms in the West

Immense Damage Wrought in West vir-
ginia--Bad Storms in the West.
WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 20.--The river Is
falling here very rapidly. The scene in
the flooded district is one of desolation
and ruin. There il much suffering among
the poorer classes. At Petersburg and
points between Wheeling and that place,
the situation is very discouraging. At
Parkersburg the water is still rising. The
damage can not now be estimated, but it is
enormous and the suffering great. The
deluge has paralyzed business, and the
city of Parkersburg is cut off from the
outside world. The suburban town of
Riverside is still covered. and the inhab-
itants are camping on the hills until the
water subsidies.
A special from Findlay says: The
blanchard river is driving all the residents
of the lower section from their houses and
doing considerable damage to property.
Not for twenty years has the river been so
high.
ANTONIO, COL, Feb. 2O.-A terrific snow
and wind strom has been raging for the
past three days over the mountain range
west of Antonio. Railroad traffic is en-
tirely suspended toward Durango. The
Durango express, which passed through
Wednesday morning, is cooped up in the
mountains.
ST. Paul. Feb. 2O.--A heavy snow storm
prevailed yesterday in South Dakota and
in Southern Minnesota. The snowfall is
heavy and general. Today it was snow
ing hard in North Dakota and in the
northern part of Iowa there was q heavy
sleet storm. There has been no delay in
railroad service thus far.
CHICAGO, Feb. W.-The sleet storm of
last night was the most serious in its effect
on telegraphic communication experienced
for. years. This morning nearly all the
train dispatchers in the railroad offices
here were without communication with
outside points, and trains ran as
best they could without orders.
Fortunately no accidents occurred.
Great forces of linemen are out and com.
munication with all points is being grad
ually restored. The Western Union Com
pany suffered more than at any time since
the gre at sleet of 1888. Not only the wires
but many poles were down. The Postal
Company was in the same condition. The
sigral service predicts that the warm rains
of today will be followed by cooler weather
tomorrow.
YUMA, Ariz., Feb. Ozone thousand
cattle from Eastern Arizona, Southern
California bound. swan the Colorado river
this morning. Washouts on the Southern
Pacific west are repaired. Work continues
on the track between Yuma and Tucson,
and the first train from the East is ex-
pected tomorrow.

was the COW suspended between heaven
and earth. Mr.. p danced around like q
mailman, while the captain and mate
swore like pirates.
The strain was beginning to tell on the
poor COW. Her back was arched up like
the back of tomcat preparing for hostile
ties: her tail became rigid, her blind eye
bulged out until it looked like a pcached
egg, and string of filmy froth oozed out
of her open mouth and fioated away like
gossamer webs at dewy morn.

frail roof of the cabin and went through it
with noise like railroad collision. A
second later the siwash cook came crawl

Then the COW Md it all her own way.
She was mad. She reared and plunged

1t was lucky thing for the COW that the

she arose to the surface Mr.. P, with COM
mendable presence of mind, grabbed the
windlass and held her there until the cap

they hoisted her up again and this time

worse for wear, though somewhat wet.
Mr.. p paid over the $40, and fixing the
moose around the cows neck walked away
in triumph. The captain swore for about
two hours without intermission, and Then

set sail for Port Angeles, where he will lay

was waited back on the breeze, as he
averred that it would be a mighty cold
day when he shipped another COW, and he
didn't care if it had one eye or dozen.

Joe Chiales reported to the authorities
yesterday that Harry n. Sharpe had
swindied him out of 1910 cigars, valued
at 81 900. He sold the fellow the cigars
few weeks ago, and Sharpe opened store

effects, so Chiales claims, and leaving his
rent IN arrears, shipped and ACCOMPANIED
his stock in trade to Tacoma. Chiales
swore out warrant for Sharpe's arrest on
a charge of obtaining goods under false
