ST. LOUIS, Jan. 20.-Rushing across a

The accident occurred at Foerstel-

as a sort of toboggan slide.
The road down this hill leads across
the railroad tracks and disaster or a
serious accident has been predicted at
this spot, but the young folks only
laughed at the prophets and kept up
their dangerous sports.
Last evening there was party Of
twenty-four on sled, who had been in
dulging in the sport for some time. But
finally their merrymaking came to an
abrupt and sad end. As their sled, a
pair of hobs connected by a long plank,
struck the railroad track Wabash
train dashed into it, killing seven of its
occupants and manning many others.
Not one of the twenty-four, it is said,
escaped injury. No names have yet

MR.. BLAINE'SHLNESS
It Will Have the Effect of Delay
ing the Chilean Message.
WILL NOT BE PRESENTED THIS WEEK

At Least That Is the Outlook at This
Time-No Truth in the Reports
That Chile Had Asked Arbitrat ion
or That Foreign Intervention Was
Expected.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-When Secre-
tary Blaine went to the cabinet meeting
yesterday he evidently did not anticipate
the illness which forced him to be re-
moved to his residence, SO he dismissed
his carriage on arrival at the White
House, telling the driver not to return
until the usual time of the adjournment
of the meeting.
The cabinet assembled at 11:30 and
began a discussion of the Chilean situa-
ton, Secretary Blaine taking part in it,.
After the session had lasted about twenty
minutes Mr. Blaine suddenly fell i'll,
and said he would be compelled to re-
tire AS he stood upon his feet the sec
rotary grew deathly pale and tottered
forward. Secretary Elkins grasped bis
arm, and assisted him out Of the room
and down the stairway to the lobby Of
mansion, where Mr. Blaine seemed to
regain his self possession. A messenger
was sent for Mr.. Blaine's carriage, but
before it arrived Mr.. Wanamaker's We
hicle was called into service. As Mr..
Blaine entered the carriage, assisted by
Mr.. Elkins and an employee of the White
House. he seemed to get weaker, and
doubled up like a very sick man.
Thinking that the air would revive
his colleague Mr., Ellcins told the driver
to drive four or five blocks before going
to the Blaine residence. The cool,
damp air seemed to revive Mr.. Blaine,
and he looked stronger, though showing
deathly pallor, when he reached his
house. A gentleman who saw Mr..
Blaine placed in Mr.. Wanamaker's car
riage said he seemed to be suffering
from an attack of vertigo. Mr.. EllSins
says, however, that the attack was sim
ply dyspepsia.
Will Delay the Chilean Message.
Theillness of Secretary Blaine will re-
suit in delaying the transmission of the
Chilean correspondence to congress,
probably until next week. When he
left the White House the cabinet was
discussing the message of the president
to accompany the correspondence, as the
president desires, of course, that what
he has to say, his recommendations, etc,
shall have the concurrence and approval
of the members of the cabinet. But no
conclusion had been reached when Mr.
Blaine was compelled to leave, and as
he was the official most interested in the
matter the further discussion was with
out result. The next cabinet meeting
will not occur until Friday, and as the
conclusion of the members, whatever it
is, will have to be put in shape after
adjournment, the message will not be
ready tor transmission before Saturday.
and as congress, in all probability, will
not be in session that day, the week will
have passed before an opportunity to
get it before the congress will have pre-
sented itfelf.
The rumors that the delay in sending
in the message and correspondence was
due to the expected offer of arbitration
by a friendly power, or the receipt of
advices that more friendly spirit pre-
walls in Chilean official circles, are I'M
true Neither of these occurred.

KERR VERSUS WRIGHT.
The Interesting Contest for the Pennsyl-
vania Democratic Chairmanship.

The Interesting Contest for the Pennsyl-
vania Democratic Craftsmanship.
HARRISBURG, Jan. 20.-The prelimi-
naries of the state Democratic commit
tee which will meet here this afternoon
resemble those of state convention. In
tense interest is being manifested in the
outcome of the contest for chairman of
the committee. j. Marshall Wright, of
Lehigh, has behind his candidacy the
state administration, which is stoutly
claiming that his success would be in
the interest of Cleveland for president.
John f. Kerr, Wrights rival, is the
present chairman, who until recently
had declined to be candidate for re-
election mainly on account of his cleo
ton as chief clerk of the national house
of representatives. Most of the Pennsyl-
vania Democratic congressman have de-
clared for him. Both candidates are ON
the ground and appear to be equally
confident of winning.
The state committee consists of
seventy-nine members, and Mr.. Harrity,
secretary of the commonwealth, claims
Wright will receive the votes of fifty.
five. Wright's estimate does not differ
materially from this, while Kerr con-
tents himself by saying that he has the
battle won. The friends of Wright are
conducting their fight mainly ON the
issue that the election of Kerr would
mean victory for the anti Cleveland
people in this state.

time has been devoted to routine bust
ness and hearing the annual report of
the secretary, Franklin Due. He stated
that the farmers have not been as pros
porous as they would have liked, but
better times are slowly coming. The
reports from the counties all show more
or less prosperity. There is more inter

and six have been held during the year,
and more will be held during January
and February. The Farmers Alliance
has made good progress in the state and
