a Grade Crossing.

CHESTER. Pa. Oct. 29.-Michael Kane
and his wife. of Philadelphia, met
horrible death yesterday at Darby in at
tempting to cross the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad tracks at Fifty-eighth
street The couple were in a cab driven
by man named Masuire and were re-
turning from Holy Cross cemetery,
where they had been attending the
funeral Of friend. There is no watch
man at the crossing, which is about
hundred yards above the station, and
the driver did not see an express train
approaching until on the tracks. He
jumped and escaped without scratches,
but Kane and his wife We're instantly
killed and the cab shattered to pieces.
The remains of the killed were scattered
along the tracks for distance of nearly
mile to Seventieth street. The upper
portion of Mrs. Kane's body was taken
from the top of the pilot house. The
horses escaped unin jured. Kane was so

THREE MEN KILLED.
A Runaway Railway Oar Crashes into
Crowd.

HUNTINGDON, Pa, Oct 29.-As the re-
suit of railroad accident at Mapleton, a
few miles east of here, three men are
dead and two ladies badly injured. The
dead are William Temple, aged 35 years;
John Barclay, aged 40 years, and Archie
Dell, aged so years. Temple and Bar
clay were killed instantly and Dell died
in few hours. The injured ladies are
Nerva Wilson and Daisy Banks. Their
escape from death seems to have been
providential.
A hundred or more persons were
standing on the side track which con-
meets the Phillips Sand company's works
with the Pennsylvania railroad, await
ing the arrival OF passenger train,
when suddenly a runaway car, heavily
laden, from the works, ran into them.
That many were not killed or wounded
is miraculous. The incline of the side
track is very great and the runaway car
came down with tremendous velocity.
1t is probable that the coroner's jury
will blame the company for the accident.

VALPARAISO, Ind, Oct. 30. = Judge
Gillett's decision in the widely quoted
test case of the Louisville, New Albany
and Chicago Railroad company to deter
mine the validity of the tax law has been
rendered. 1t afirms the constitutional
ity of the enactment of the legislature of
1892 and establishes the liability of the
railroad company for the payment of all
assessments made in accordance with its
provisions. The suit was one in which
the railroad was resisting the collection
of taxes in sixty-five counties. The case
will go the supreme court.

M1NNEAPoLIs, Oct 2o.-Judge John P.
Rea gave his promised statement as to
his recent political conversion to the
press yesterday. While it does not
directly state that the writer has decided
to vote for Cleveland. the inference from
his language is strongly in that direc-
tion. He opens by explaining that the
announl emont that he was to vote for
Cleveland was made without his author-
ity or knowledge. He then discusses the
Mckinley bill, pointing out wherein he
thinks it departs from the true protec-
ton policy and wherein it inures TO the
benefit of the monopolies. He then says:
when the leaders of that great party
seek 10 make our government of the pefi-
pile by corporations and for monopolies
and trusts, it Is time for patriotic liberty
loving men to stop and consider If not 10
act. have conscientiously done the
former and on t'i9 sth of November shall
do the latter.

Collision on a Bridge.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 20.-At Z
o'clock in the morning two freight trains
on the Big Four road came together
with fearful crash on the bridge over
Wabash river, near this city. The two
freight trains met at the third span of
the bridge, at the draw where the boats
go through, and the force of the col
lision was so great that the bridge gave
way at that point, making chasm of
ninety feet. The two engines were
completely wrecked and smashed out of
recognition. One of the engines com
pletely disappeared under the water and
the other was partly visible Engineer
Allison went down and was killed. His
body has not yet been found, as it is in
the mass of wreckage Brakeman James
Hart had a leg injured.

The President Gives Public Express

versal Sympathy Extended to Him.
self and Family.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 29.-Although
nation mourns today, yet nowhere are
the outward manifestations of grief, the
evidences of severe sorrow so manifest
as here in indianapolis, the many years
home of the beloved matron, the true
friend, the sincere Christian woman who
was laid to rest yesterday beneath the
shading branches of the trees in Crown
Hill cemetery. Nearly every citizen Of
this capital knew and admired Caroline
Scott Harrison, and that her death was
deplored as personal affiiction by those
who had been so closely acquainted with
her, was apparent in the outpouring of
all classes-the humblest as well as the
residents of the mansions on Delaware
street and other fashionable thorough
fares. All had turned aside from their
daily avocations to do honor to the
memory of the one whom they had re-
vered and respected in life as the high
est type and embodiment of American
womanhood. 1t may be truthfully said
that all Indianapolis mourned yesterday.
President Harrison and the immediate
members of his family were driven from
the cemetery direct to the residence Of
Mrs. r. S Mckee, where he rested and
afterwards partook of luncheon. Through
out the trying ordeal the bereaved hus-
band bore himself with remarkable for
titude, and his effort toward self control
was communicated to the ladies of the
party enabling them to maintain some
degree of composure. Mr.. Scott, the
venerable father of Mrs. Harrison, APP
peared like one in a dream, and was ap-
parently oblivious to the trying features
of the solemn occasion.
Returning TO Washington.
The funeral party left on the return to
Washington Mt $3.50 p. m. President
Harrison, Mrs. Mckee and others of the
presidents family were quietly driven
from the residence of r. S. Mckee,
where they had spent the afternoon, to
the depot, where the remainder of the
party had already boarded the train.
During the few moments that remained
before its departure the president re-
ceived the pallbearers and a few other
intimates in his private car, and feel
ingly expressed his gratitude for the part
they had taken in the solemn event of
the day.
Just before the train left the president
dictated and signed the following, with
the request that it thould be furnished
to the local press:
MY dear old friends and neighbors, l
cannot leave you without saying tender
and gracious sympathy which you have
today shown for me and for my chill
dren, and much more, the touching
evidences you have given of your love
for the dear wife and mother have deeply
moved our hearts. We yearn to tarry
with you and to rest near the hallowed
spot where your loving hands have laid
our dead; but the little grandchildren
watch in wondering silence for our re-
turn, and need our care, and some public
business will not longer wait upon my
sorrowing.
May II gracious God keep and bless
you all. Most gratefully yours
"BENJAMIN HARRISON"
