Terrible Misfortune That Overlook q Party
on Pleasure Bent.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2O.A little before eight
O'clock this evening 4 party of twenty two
started out for an evening of enjoyment.
Eight Of them now lie in the morgue. while
nearly all the others are in the hospital.
The party was made up of members Of the
Glover Leaf club, social organization.
They were all in one conveyance, a large
four-horse sleigh. They went to
road house near Forest park
and after luncheon started to return
crossing of the Wabash railway an accident
occurred. The special train coming in from
Ferguson, running at a high rate of speed,
struck the sleigh, killing two of the horses
and scattering the people in every direo-
ton. So great was the shock that two of

within 800 yards of the crossing
and returned to the scene, where the
excursionists aided in gathering up the
dead and wounded. BY this time mounted
police were on hand. and. taking charge.
orded the dead and wounded to he placed
on the tram. This was done and all taken
to the union depot, from whence the
wounded were taken to ST. Marys, intirmy
and the dead to the morgue.
At 2:30 o'clock all the dead bodies but one
had been identified. Andrew Stevenson,
the colored driver, is still missing and is
belieued to have been ground to piece by
the engine. The corrected list of dead is as
follows: F. c. schietfie, George Edda, Al

Wm, Krone +. Won Behrens, one unknown,
supposed to be a railroad man. Ofthe injured

escaped unhurt and eleven are in serious

A gentleman who understands the Chilian
people and government pretty well, says IL
is difficult to say what is the motive Of
some of the governments conduct unless it
be war;. Some things can be. explained
away and come other things cannot. Some
times they seem bent on making
difficulties and adding insult to
insult. They have very good opin-
ion of themselves and fancy they are
very great diplomats, but seem to care
precious litsle for the diplomatic rights of
others. Among some of them. the opinion
condescend to fight SO inferior foe, but
among very many others there exists an
insane belief that she dare not do 80.
One of the latest disclosures is the curious
fact that Thompson, correspondent Of the
London Times, is trying to sell the Chillan
acting ins other directions. It is he who
caused to be inserted in Chilian papers Sc
| lections from lot Of European journals TO
the effect that the United States has no
navy worth noticing and Chilli could with
no trouble at all, sink all her ships and
levy contribution on San Francisco. Chill
ians when pressed hard are forced to adm t
compelled to submit to the United
States in the end. That would
be tempered however and they would be
let down very easy by their superior
diplomacy. The Chilian fleet has had
steam up for the last three or four days
and they have more or less torpedo prac-
tice every day. The authorities now give
out that the ships are to 60 to the south fol
exercise. The generally accepted rumor
though, is that they have been ordered to
the Straits of Magellan with the intention
of lying in wait for Admiral Walker ant
the white squadron in case he be orderec
to the west coast. This may or may not b.
true, but the ships are in fighting trim ane
ready for action.

The Exhibits at the worlds Fair win BE
Full and Complete.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The life-saving
bureau of the treasury department will
be represented at the worlds Columbian
exposition at Chicago by hfe-saying
station and apparatus, that will show
completely and to perfection this hu-
name feature of the federal govern
ment. The most essential feature Of the
exhibit-the station itself-is rapidly
nearing completion on the lake front
within the space to be dedicated to the
exposition. This station will be fully
equipped with all the apparatus and par
aphernalia pertaining to first class lake
life-saving station, and besides the arti-
cles used in work on the great lakes, 1t
will have on exhibition boats used on the
Atlantic and Pacific sea coasts and on
the falls of the Ohio at Louisville, with
such apparatus as is peculiar to the
work in any part of the United States.
For instance, at Louisville two life
skiffs and two reels are used, this appa-
ratus being in use nowhere else. The
station will be manned by one of the
regular life-saving crews, who will per-
form daily drill whereby the visitor
who has never seen life-saving station
before, or the hfe-sayers at work, may
obtain fair conception Of the duties
performed by them, and it may be thai
some of the visitors may have an oppor-
tunity to observe the work as 1t is act
ually in storms, for the site of the life
saving station is erected on one of the
most dangerous parts of the coast in the
vicin ityof Chicago, and the station appa-
ratus and crew are there, not only for
exhibition, but for business whenever
any vessel needs assistance.
The station is to be a permanent one
and when the exposition Is nothing but
q memory, the life-saving station is ex.
pected to remain in its present location.
The medals and awards received will
be placed on exhibition and also some
apparatus showing the progress of life
saving invention. Side by side will be
shown modern Lyle gun for throwing
succoring line to the crew Of dis
tressed steamer and the old style mortar
which was used when this method Of
saving life was first adopted. The
bureau has in its possession the first
mortar and first ball ever used in Amer
lea in life-saving work. The relic has
quite a history. About thirty years age
ii Yves used to throw line to the crew
Of the British ship Ayrshire, in danger
off Squan Beach, N. J. The ball for.
tunately struck the deck and carried the
liae to tho passengers and crew. BY
means Of the lifeline POI persons were
rescued out of total OF zoe persons
aboard. The ship sank and the bal
used went to the bottom. About twenty
years afterward, through the working Of
the waves, the bali was brought tc
view again and sent to the life-savine
bureau.

He, upon arriving at Victoria, claimed
the ownership Of the vessel, refusing to

The matter of ownership was referred
to Ottawa with the above result. The
question now arises as to what step Rus

tuition of the vessel to her Canadian
owner is a Reputation ON the part Of
the Dominion government of Russia's

The Russians had changed her name,
and thereby gave her Russian registry,
and it will, therefore, be interesting to
know how far Russia will protect Cap
tain Copp in holding the property she
transferred te him.
