MASON OrrY., To-. Sept. 23.-Seven dead
and three injured is the result of IN awful
railroad wreck at New Hampton this MORN
ing. crew was At word on the main line
of the Chicago g. Great Western road, re-
placing rails. this morning. About 10
o. clock their train pulled into Now Hamp-
ton and stopped to do some work. though a
freight due there at 1915 was late and run
ming ON orders not to stop at New Hamp-
ton. The road enters New Hampton
from the north. but within sixty
rods makes turn, going directly east.
This makes bad curve in the road. and a
grove between shut off all view beyond.
The freight came around the curve thirty
miles an hour and crashed into the cabooss
of the construction train. The engineer
and fireman jumped just in time to save
their lives, for moment later the engine
struck. The bodies removed from the
wreckage are awfuiiy mangied. Up to a

UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY.

Government Directors Report the Road In
FIourishing Coalition. .. -
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Ths annual re-
port of the government directors of tho
Union Pacific railway has been received by
the secretary Of the interior. The property
of the company is stated to be in the high
est degree satisfactory, it's business has
been conducted with the strictest economy,
and it's expenses, even on an increased vol
ume of business, largely reduced. Not
withstandinR the reduction of the physical
condition, the road and equipment have
been fully maintained, and even improved.
The general business, both i'll gross and
net, has improved. From local causes
operations iu northwest Oregon lines have
suffered considerable loss. Large earnings
and general Improvement upon all of the
other portions of the system have more
than compensated for it and promise q
very z; atifying increase of earnings for the
whole system for the current year. The
board deprecates the practical abandon
ago in Oregon and Utah.
The recent decision of Justice Field af-
firming the right of the Northern Pacific
company to decline to haul the cars of the
Union Pacific over its lines in Oregon and
Washington, if sustained on final hearing,
will, the board declares, make the COM
pletion of the Puget sound road a neces-
sity. For the Union Pacific proper the
earnings and expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1892, are as follows: Earn
ings, $S9O9. 1888: expenses, $5,1S4, 1865; sur-
plus, $3, 1867. This is an increase in
earnings for the year of $272.2 ana q de-
crease in expenses of $158,3 1874, making the
net increase in the surplus for tho year
$780, SAT. For the entire system the ca n
ings were $19, ,973, 273 and the expenses $13 :
494, ,5O4. This is an inc. case in the earnings
for the year of $54O.9 .9O9, and decrease in
expenses of Sl59,43S. Unofficial and in
complete returns for the months of July
and August indicate continued gain in
gross earnings and improvement on the
Oregon lines and it is regarded as probable
the net results for the present year will
ahow substantial gain over last.

OPPOSED TO FREE SILVER.
Senator Carlisle Explains His Position In
Regard to This Question.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-lSpeciall-
Senator Carlisle has addressed letter
to John A. Lyme, of Henderson, KY, in
answer to his question whether Carlisle
had heretofore been in favor OF the free
coinage OF silver, and whether his views
on the subject had undergone any
change. Carlisle quotes from his own
speech in the House in 1873. when the
original Bland bill had been amended
by the Senate. A part of the quotation
reads:
MY position upon this subject is
briefly this: 1 am opposed to the free
coinage OF either gold or silver, but
am in favor of the unlimited coinage of
both metals upon the terms of exact
equality. No discrimination should be
made in favor of one against the other.
nor should any discrimination be made
In favor OF the holders OF either gold or
silver bullion and against the great
body OF the people who own other kinds
OF property. This great Government
should treat all its citizens alike, and
whenever it attempts to do otherwise it
will engender a spirit of discomfort
which sooner or later, must disturb the
harmony, If not the peace, of society,""
Carlisle says this paragraph shows
precisely what his position then was
and always has been upon this subject.
In conclusion Carlisle says he will sup.
port any measure that will fully remon-
etize silver and insure the equality OF
the dollars coined from the two metals,
and he sincerely hopes that the ap-
preaching international monetary con-
ference will be able to reach such an
agreement as will meet the approval of
all the governments participating in It.

ATRAeIc CLIMAX.
Judge James G. Normile, of ST.
Louis, Commits Suicide.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Aug. 9.-[Special]-
The most startling climax to the action
for libel recently begun by Judge James
c. Normile, of the st. Louis criminal
court, against the Post Dispatch, of this
city. came this forenoon little before
eleven O'Clock in the suicide, by poison,
OF the plaintiff, Judge Normile, at his
residence, 1922 Washington avenue.
Criticism of the administration of Judge
Normlle's court was precipitated re-
cent? yby sudden division in the grand
jury acting under him, eight of its mem
bers alleging that four had combined to
prevent the indictment of persons with
"pull."
The matter was brought before Judge
Normile through Communications from
the contending factions, and the judges
conduct in the matter led to the charges
and criticisms on the part OF the Post
Dispatch, which eliminated in the Judge

After This action Judge Normile left
the city for short rest. Returning a
day or two since he appeared Yesterday
