CHICAGO. Feb. 2O.-The wheat market was
dull and generally lower today. Telegraphic
communication was seriously interfered with
by bad weather, preventing the receipt of news
and orders with the usual freedom and prompt

OAIAo1o VI pAO VAOO1AA6 SAfAoAOu VI tu0
Baltimore & Ohio with 100 passengers
on board, had narrow escape from an
awful accident near Whitehall, twelve
miles south of this city city, last night.
Near Whitehall and just around steep
curve is Q temporary trestle, 800 feet
long and forty feet high. The train was
running at the rate of thirty-fve miles
an hour and when it rounded the curve
the engine struck huge rock which
had been loosened by the frost and
had rolled from the EN-.
bankment above the railroad. An
awful crash followed. The engine broke
from the tender and left the track. The
tender partly broke from the train and
the separated parts rushed in q mad
race for the trestle. When the engine
reached the trestle proper it seemed to
stop suddenly and plunged down the
embankment. The train, grinding out
flashes of fire from the railway, swept by
it safely, being stopped by air brakes at
the other end of the trestle. As the
engine toppled over Engineer Mahan
was thrown out. He was found some
forty feet away from the engine in
deep ravine. he was unconscious and
is fatally injured. The engine was
crushed into q mass of warped
and shattered iron. When the engine
stopped before its plunge into the IA.
vine it threw Lindsey, the fireman,
high into the air. through the cab roof.
He alighted on the embankment. His
shoulder was dislocated and he was
otherwise injured. The tender left the
track when the train stopped on the
trestle, and plunged into the ohasm be.
low without taking any of the cars with
it. making second miraculous escape
The passengers were badly frightened,
but beyond shaking up were unin.
jured. They were brought to this city
at O'Clock this morning. The accident
is pronounced by railway men and trav.
elers to be one of the most miraculous
known to them.
WRECK OF VESSEL.
LONDON, Feb. 21.-What is likely to
prove the gravest maritime disaster
which has occurred since the tempes-
tous weather of the past week set in, is
reported from the Cornish coast. A
large vessel whose name is unknown
but which is supposed to be Spanish
steamer has been wrecked off Penzanoe,
and it is feared all hands are lost. Al
ready brief dispatches telling Of the
tragic and horrifying scenes which at
tended the disaster have been received.
It is learned tie. q boat containing
six men who had set off from the vessel
for shore, was ospsized almost immedi-
ately in the binding storm. The boat
was seen heel upward, but her crew
could not be seen except two men. The
first of these was olinging to the boat in
desperation. He was seen to be twice
washed of. The second was swimming
in an effort to reach safety. The efforts
made by the coast guard to help them
proved too late and both were drowned.
Two boats from the wreck and guam
Gty of wreckage have come ashore.

A Ball of Fire.

6T. PAUL, Feb. 21.-The Pioneer
Press has thrilling account of . mon
ster meteor which struck the earth nea,
Hamilton, Missoula county. Mont. The
meteor drove itself 200 feet into the
ground and 100 feet of the still hot mass
protrudes from the earth, suffering and
sizzling at furious rate. Much excite
ment has been caused by the meteor
and crowds have gone to see it. A sui.
Phurous smell from the meteor can be
noticed for miles around.
The heavenly visitor arrived early in
the morning and brought death and de-
struotion in its path. It struck the
earth on the ranch of Henry Chambers, q
short distance from the ranch of Marcus
DAILY, the king turfmsn. Two China
men, in charge of about forty COWS,
were in the cattle shed when the meteor
struck it, and the shed and its contents
disappeared under the burning mass.
The earth trembled for miles in every
direction, and the buildings were greatly
shaken. Great excitement is
reported all through Bitter
Root valley, and hundreds
of people are locking to the terrifying
scene.
The meteor is said to be still molten
hot on the outside and q mass of lava
runs down the hillside. while flames
shoot upward from the hot mass. The
story is located close by where the petri.
fed sea serpent was said to have been
recently found and near by the cave
wherein q band of alternating Indians
was discovered few weeks ago.

BENNETT IS IN PERIL.
Judge Sevsrens Advises HIM 20 Return
His Booty.


NJ L. Durham, attorney for Luther
J. Bennett, madea motion in the United
states court yesterday asking for . new
trial. Bennett WAS convicted one week
ago Of defraudlng his mother-in-law
of nearly 5000 pension money. The
motion was denied by Judge Severens,
who said It WAS one Of the worst cases
no had ever considered in eli the pen
sion cases that had been brought under
MS notice. He could hardly speak of
the matter without going beyond his
judicial capacity in expressing his
feelings He was satisfied with the
verdict OF the jury and did not think
the afiidavlts presented by Mr.. Dun
ham would materially change the case
as il now stands.
The Judge complimented Mr.. Dun
ham on the manner in which he had
tried the case, but he believed be WAS
on the wrong side OF the question. He
said he would advise Mr.. Bennett to
make what fepsration be was able be-
fore he appeared before the court for
sentence. He WAS satisfied that Ben
nett had . considerable portion of tho
money left. and it should be- placed in
the hands OF the poor old pensioner
for her benefit She Was 20 years old,
and without the money she would he
obliged to goa out washing 10 earn =
livelihood. Sentence Was suspended
until one week from next Tuesday, to
allow time for Bennett to pay up tho
money

porter for The HERALD yesterday that

had come on at the solicitation of w.
e. Dewey. who had offered to take .
certain amount of tho product regu-
larry, but that nothing had been set
tied upon so that he could 70 on. and
he therefore wants TO contract with tho
manufacturers TO supply them, If salts
factory terms can be arranged.
Mr.. Dewey said that the matter was
hanging fire because but few of the
manufacturers had been seen, but that
is was probable that the plant would
be established, and that he expected to
have an interest in IT, Later Mr.. FIN
ley Was found consulting with Secre-
tary Van Asmus of the Furniture
Mems ASSOCIATION. Mr.. Van Asmus
said the association would make no
agreement "a to taking the goods, but
that De would introduce the matter
