FRlGHTFUL ACCIDENT.

Cars Crushed BY Falling Wall Mt Mem
phis, and Sleeping Railroad Men Killed.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, July Q There is a
scene of wreck and ruin and death at
the Newport News & Mississippi Valley
railroad depot that in its horror has not
been eclipsed by any accident that ever
occurred in this city.
Under the large stones of a fallen
wall lay crushed and broken timbers
of coaches and sleepers, and within this
mass are the mangled and mashed flesh
and bones of three human beings, whose
lives were crushed in an instant.
1t was at AS a. m. when part of the
wall supporting Front street, extend
ing from Poplar to Market, fell Yes
terday evening the sleeper Swananana,
from Chicago, arrived here. The sleeper
and coach were pushed on track in
the Newport News depot next to the
wall that was built two years ago.
1t was approaching dawn when the
eartn, swollen with water, could con-
tain itself no longer and forced out the
wall. Quick as thought there was an
upheaval, fall apd a deafening noise
of falling stones and crushing timbers.
A wall 400 feet long and from twenty
two to tweDty-six feet high had given
way, torn six cars to pieces and killed
three people. There was no cry of
alarm, for there was no one to give it,
and without word of warning the oc-
cupants of the sleeper were ground to
atoms. On the track next to the wall,
which is distant from it ten feet, were
the sleeper Swananana and a coach.
The sleeper is mashed into the ground
and the coach is badly crushed.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon the
bodies of j. K. Hunter (white) and Sam
Bell (colored) were extricated from the
mass of crushed timbers, so horribly
disfgured that they can scarcely be rec.
ognized.

Then the roll call of states, terrific

plause as he told in very good English
how the society was prospecting in his

Christian Endeavorers from England,

An ExtremelY Zine Point.

WASHINGTON, July 0.-Some rather
fine distinctions are often drawn in the
matter of customs decisions by the
treasury department, but Assistant Sec
rotary Crounse broke the record by one
which he made yesterday A citizen o.
Detroit went over to Canada and bought
a pair of trousers, which he wore home.
The customs officers taxed him s9.6t
duty on the new pants. He applied tc
the treasury department for a rebate
and in his letter said: 81 fancied those
pants and bought them" When he
used the word 'fancied" he gave hi.
case away. Judge Crounse informed
him that the law admits free of duty
articles of clothing which are a ''neces
sity," but as the claimant himself ad
mits that he bought the. pants because
he ''fancied" them, it stands to reason
that they were not an article Of neces
sity. Therefore he must pay the duty.

HALIFAX, n. s., July 9.-The most
disastrous fire in the history of st.
Johns, Newfoundland, broke out yes
terday afternoon during a heavy north
west gale. 1t originated in a small
building on Lingo Hille, near the topof

The high wind carried live embers in
all directions and soon a score of confa-
grations were spreading destruction.

church, Cover Street Methodist church,
the majestic cathedrals of the En-
glish and Roman church, the two
