THE REGENT WRECK.

THE REGENT WRECK. All ofthe Cars Completely Dem molished
 With the Exception Of the Last
 Sleeper-SlaIement of One of the
 Passengers.
 FORT MADISON, Ia. May 6.-The scene of the Santa Fe wreck presented fearful appearance to-day. Scattered about in confusion was the debris of the cars, all of them having been completely demolished with the exception of the last sleeping car, which remained on the track. The dead bodies were laid out at an undertaking shop. The woman who was killed was found to be Mrs. c. Bausch of San Der nardino, Cal. Her corpse was badly bruised and covered with blood. Her babe had evidently drowned, as no marks of violence were found. Many of the passengers who escaped left this morning for Chicago on the local pas senger train. Among them was Major Hudson, the editor of the Topeka Capital, who was 8 candidate for the seat of Senator Ingalls,. He said: "When the train went down there was no such babel of cries and horrible confusion that one usually ex- poets. The storm was raging and the night was very dark. Work was com menced at once on the wreck, but the light of lanterns gave only fickering beams and it was daylight before any effective ser vice could be rendered."
 Had the accident happened to the Cali forni. express with it's $50 people, which was the train due at that time, the disaster would have been far worse

THE CONTRACT WAS VOID.

An Important Decision by the Su-
 preme Court Of Massachusetts.
 BOSTON, May 6.-The supreme court to- day rendered an important decision in the case of Chester H. Graves, Boston whole sale liquor dealer, against Walter J. John son. The suit was brought to recover the price of lot of intoxicating sold by the plaintiff to the defendant, hotel keeper in Maine, with view of being resold in the latter state. The sale took place in Boston and the goods were delivered here.
 The verdict in the superior court was for the plaintiff for the price of the liquors, but the supreme court now sustains ex- captions filed by the defendant, and says that the contract was void, aud that the plaintiffs cannot recover, especially be- cause the latter not only knew what was to be done with the liquors, but facilitated in the disposition of the goods in state where their sale is prohibited.

Representative Crosby's Bill Relating

Representative Crosby's Bill Relating
 to Third and Fourth-Class Mail
 Matter.
 WASHINGTON, May 6.-Representative Crosby of Massachusetts to-day reported bill providing that all matter heretofore included in the third and fourth classes shall in future be transported as third class matter, postage on which shall be charged at the rate of one cent for every two ounces or fraction thereof. The pass age of the bill the committee thinks will benefit every person who has occasion to use the mails for transporting small pack ages. Under existing regulations parcels of fourth-clsss matter sent in the mails are limited to four pounds in weight. The average actual weight of these parcels, however, has heretofore been but little over four and halt ounces, showing that the rate was practically prohibitory. The bill, if enacted, will not only af- ford @ cheap means of transportating these | small packages, but it will be of benefit | not to class merely, but to the whole | people. It will be particularly advan- | tageous to people in the rural districts who | have no means of sending or receiving packages by express or by other private |

THE NAVAL BILL.

PrOpriate Fifty Thousand Dollars
 to Enable the Secretary of the Navy
 to Have Constructed a Big Gun.
 WASHINGTON, May 6.-Senator Teller to-day proposed an amendment to the naval appropriation bill appropriating $50, 900 to enable the secretary of the navy to have constructed one eight-inch 50 cali bre steel rife wire-wrapped or built up and hooped and firing a high explosive projectile of great velocity. In order to test the gun the secretary is authorized to use the $5O,0O0 appropriated March, 1889, for testing guns for secondary bat teries. The amendment stipulates. however, that no part of the money shall be expended until the owners of the patent of the gun agree to construct it exclusively for the govern ment. The gun is known as the Hurst high explosive eight-inch rife and is the result of five years' experiments begun at the navy yard in Washington by the in- ventor and conducted in private by him, of Connecticut took prominent part. General Hawley has great faith in the use of two charges of powder. one of the difficulties to be overcome be- ing in providing suitable gas-check and sabot for the proiectiles. This General Hawley succeeded in patenting and at first took the patent out in his own name and afterwards on joint invention with General Hurst. The gun provided for by the proposed amendment will fire the Hswley projectile, which will be filled with dynamite, gun-cotton or some other high explosive. The gun will have, it is said, range greater than that of any oth- CT gun of similar calibre constructed in this or any country. The inventors were both distinguished soldiers in the late war, General Hawley wearing the blue from Connecticut and General Hurst the grey from Mississippi.
