CLEVELAND, Sept. 2l.-What will un-
doubtediy prove the most disastrous acci-
dent in the history of the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne & Chicago railway took place early
this morning near Shreve. A fast east
bound express train colIided with a west
bound freight, both running at full speed.
The collision occurred on a sharp curve
and in cut where neither crew was able
to see the other train approaching. I'M
mediately after the crash the flames burst
forth, and it is believed but two or three
Of the persons were killed outright, the
others having been pinned down and
slowly roasted to death.
Thirteen burned and blackened trunks
were taken from the. wreck. They were
those of George Smith, fireman, Crestline;
ID. f. Reese, postal clerk, Massillon; II.
S. Allen, postal clerk, Columbia; G. C.
Mann. postal clerk Chicago: J. d. Patter-
Glenn, brakeman, Allegheny; N. Ham,
mond. fireman, Allegheny; Samuel ].
Jackson, expressman, Chicago, and five
unidentified bodies. including those of a
lady and child. Some Of those unidenti-
fed were bound for Alliance. O.. and 9TH
ers to Espeyvile. Pa.
The seriously injured are: Frank Burt,
Crestline, engineer of the express train !:
James Adee, Sundusky. passenger; G.

Two postal cars filled with through mail,
one express car and three freight cars were
consumed by fire. This afternoon $50, 600
in silver bricks was taken from beneath
the masses of iron ahd cinders. some of
the silver being melted. A temporary
track has been built around the wreck and
travel partially resumed.
The wreck was a terrible one, and with
the exception of three Pullman cars the
train was shapeless mass. AS soon as
the people Of Shreve heard of the wreck
many of them hastenetl to the scene with
local physicians and tried to extinguish
the flames and rescue the unfortunates in
the day coaches. The fire had gained too
great headway, however, and little could
be done. Those that perished we're pinned
down by timbers. and the people outside
had to stand back while the hopeless vic
tins were slowly burned to death. The
fireman of the freight train had horrible
death. as he was caught in. the cab and his
frightfuly burned body dangled in the
air in view Of hundreds who visited the
scene, the wreckers being unable to get at
him because of the heat.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-According to the
statements of passengers arriving on the steamer
Australia from Honolulu this morning, the Ha-
wsiian legislature has been caucused, with the
result that twenty -four members voted in favor
of impeaehing the ministry and twenty two
against such action. The resolution of want of
confidence in the new cabinet. as introduced by
Representative Smith, is expected to carry by
the same vote. It is also stated that petitions
are being circulated in certain quarters asking
the British government to place the islands
under its protection. American residents OF the
islands are strongly opposing such action, and
will ask the government at Washington City 10
interfere on behalf of their interests.

listed for about two weeks in the legislature,

LONDON, Sept. 2l.-The Standards corre-

Wednesday were: New cases, 5i3: deaths,

LISBON. Sept. 21.-It is stated that the
steamer Reichstag. which arrived in the
Tagus yesterday from Hamburg and which
was ordered to leave the river, had ten
cases of cholera on board.
HAMBURG, Sept 2l.--One hundred and
forty-nine new cases of cholera and sixty
four deaths from the disease occurred in
Hamburg yesterday. an increase of eight
new cases and a decrease of three deaths.
The first installment of 80. 900 marks sub
scribed in New York for the relief OF the
sufferers was received today.
People who have hitherto done business
with Hamburg are afraid now to handle
anything made in the plague-stricken
city, and in consequence every branch Of
industry shows entire absence of orders.
OF course, with no demand for their pro-
ducts, the manufacturers find it impossi-
BILE to keep their employees at work, and
the daily idle population is gaining fresh
artisans and unskilled laborers who are
discharged because Of the utter
stagnaton of business. The distress1 3
most marked among the dock laborers and
fishermen. The shipping trade of the city
has received most severe blow from the
epidemic, and many vessels belonging to
Hamburg have been forced to tie up until
the epidemic abates. Dock Iaborers and
other men employed abou. the wharves
can find nothing TO do. and in
many cases actual starvation is staring
them in the face. The fishermen, too.
find their occupation gone, as nearly
eyery one is afraid TO touch fish, let alone
eat il. Those who still follow their busi-
ness find no money in it. Whole loads of
fish are every day carted away from st.
Paul's market and sold for few marks to
farmers to be used as fertilizer on their
lands. Many of the porters about the city
are without work and have been idle for
considerable time. Southeast of
Hamburg, and belonging to the
city. is territory called the Vier-
lande. Here are located many
persons who cultivate small tracts OF land
and who have heretofore found a ready
and profitable market for their produce in
the city. Now all is changed. and these
market gardeners are on the verge OF ruin.
They are unable 20 dispose OF their pro-
ducts. and their fruit is rotting on the
trees. The situation is extremely bad, IN
