FIve INJURED IN COLLISION.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y. June 29.-The
Albany and New York local on the
New York Central Railroad, due here
from the North at 4 o'clock this after
noon, was composed of an engine, bag
gage car, smoking car, and two ordi-
nary coaches. The conductor was
William Mellus and the engineer George
Harding. The train left the main track
at the north end of this city and a
down a side track to the yard of
Towers furnace.
At the foot of the side track stood a
switch engine, into which the Passenger
engine smashed. There were forty five
passengers on the train, including a
dozen women. All knew that some
thing was going to happen, and the
most of them we're standing in the
aisles of the cars when the collision oc-
Cured. The most of them were thrown
down on the floor or hurled against the
seats, and in this way five persons were
quite severely injured.

THE DROUTH IN x

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 3O.-A
letter from LaSale county, eighty miles
southwest of San Antonio, gives a pic
ture of the drought and desolation in
that section. For three years it has
not rained a drop; the priaries once
carpeted with rich grasses, are as bare
as a billiard table. The wells have
gone dry. There is no water anywhere.
The sun reflected from the white earth
makes the glare and heat almost un-
bearable. Duck, turkey and wild ami
mails have left. Even the familiar jack
rabbit has disappeared. All cattle and
sheep have been sold and shipped into
other States. The citizens Yesterday
appealed to Governor Hogg to furnish
the Mexicans, many Of whom are in a
starving condition, transportation to
the cotton districts, where they may
find work. An earnest call for food
has been issued.

BIG FIRE ON THE COAST.

SEATTLE, Washington, June 28.-The
entire stock and building ofScwabacher
Bros. & Co., one of the largest lei
chandise dealers on Puget Sound, was
destroyed by fire last night. The loss
on the building is $50, 600. The firm
carried a stock worth $500, 900, of which
nothing was saved. The Northern
hotel next door barely escaped destruc-
ton, and was damaged several thou
sand dollars worth by the heat and
water, and other minor damages were
done to contiguous structures, footing
up the total damage to about $4O0, 900.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon the
basement, in which was stored several
hundred cases of oil, vas discovered
on fire.
The department succeeded in confn-
ing the fire to the basement for an
hour, but it was finally communicated
to the stock of wrapping paper and
burst through the roof and Quilted the
structure with great rapidity. The in
surance will probably cover the loss

A DOUBLE SUICIDE.

BALTIMORE, June "a man and
woman registered as T. st. Cloud and
wife were found dead this afternoon in
their lodging house. At 1 o'clock this
afternoon a bell boy was sent to the
room with ST. Clouds bill amounting
to a little over $50. About 4 o'clock,
the bill not having been paid, E. Kelly,
the acting manager, visited the room.
He knocked, but received no response.
He tried the door, but found it locked.
He then called a porter, who entered
the room by climbing over the transom.
He found St. Cloud lying On the bed
dead. The woman lay on the floor
with her feet toward the bed, also dead.
The room was in great disorder. The
trunks were open and their contents
were scattered about the floor. Guam
titles of laudanum and morphine were
found in the room, and it Is presumed
that it was by such means the couple
committed suicide. Coroner Alexander
Hill was summoned and examined the
bodies, but declined to hold an inquest.
He decided that the woman had been
dead about three hours. She must have
killed herself Immediately after the
presentation of the bill. An examina-
ton of the mans body showed that he
had been dead only a short time.

GALVESTON, Texas, June "a dis
patch from 'Calmee's Mill says that
three negroes Prince Woods, Tom
Smith and Henry Gaines, who were
arrested Friday for outraging three
white women near Spurgis, confessed
to having committed the crime. After
the confession ten men were deputized
to convey the negroes to WoodviIle
Jail. They started with them on Fri
day afternoon. When about a mile
from Spurgis fifty masked and armed
men demanded the release of the ne
groes emphasizing their demand by
dwelling their guns upon the guards.

cheated out of Sc, 500 to-day by the tin
box trick. Two strangers agreed to
sell him a farm for Sc, 900, and to bind
the bargain they got Montgomery to
deposit Sc, 500 in a tin box, into which
they put 81, 900 to show that they
meant business. After their departure
Montgomery grew suspicious, andupon
opening the box found nothing but
two sti ks of wood. The sharpers made
good their escape and took with them
a lively team and buggy. Montgomery
offers 81, 900 reward for their arrest.

WORKMEN MUCH AGITATED.

Report Becomes Current That Mum ber
of Non-Union Men Would Be Put in the
LawrenceviIie Mills Before Nishtfall
Secretary Lovejoy's Statsment.
The Upper and Lower Union mills of the
Carnegie Steel Company presented de-
serted appearance yesterday. The only
thing to relieve the impressing monotony of
the scene and give the works semblance of
activity was the steady tread of the watch
men as they marched up and down their
beaten paths on the inside of the works.
About o'clock last evening there was
speedy change in the situation. The mills
remained as impassive as ever, but a rumor
had become current among the locked-out
workmen that an attempt would be made at
nightfall to place number of nom union
men in the two plants and considerable ex-
citement reigned. At all times during day
and night the mills have been guarded by
scouting committee selected from among the
old workmen. This body is divided into
neighborhood of the works. It is their
duty to watch all suspicious strangers and
to prevent any outsiders from entering the
mills. If anything out OF the ordinary oc-
ours they have orders to report at head
quarters at once.
That the firm would try to. place nom
union men in the works under the cover of
darkness originated downtown. The mat
ter was reported to an Amalgamated official
and he lost no time in communicating the
news to the workers in Lawrenceville.
Upon learning of the probable action of the
firm they Immediately reinforced the scout
ing committee and gave strict orders that
the river in the vicinity of the Union Mills
should be diligently watched. and at the
first sign of boat bearing men the matter
should be reported to the officers of the
Amalgamated Association in that district.
One hour after the rumor reached Law
renceville Secretary Loveioy, of the Car
negie Steel Company, was seen and ques-
toned concerning the move. He said:
"There will be no attempt to place men in
the mills tonight. General Manager Dill
Ion is not ready nor will he be prepared for
two weeks or more to put the works in
operation; therefore, it is not at all likely
that workmen will be in the mills before
that time -

ADVICE FROM THE ALTAR.

Rev Father Bullion Scores Anarchy and
Suggests Arbitration.
A new movement for the solution of the
Homestead deadlock was inaugurated yes
terday under impressive circumstances.
The tragical occurrence in Pittsburg,
with Ii. c. Frick as the victim,
was taken as the occasion for this
latest departure. In the, presence of
a gathering made up largely of strikers and
militiamen, it was proposed to make fresh
attempt at arbitration. The proposal came
from source beyond either party to the
difficulty, and was put forward in a way SO
unusual as to command marked attention.
Divine service at the principal Catholic
Church in Homestead was interrupted at
the most solemn part while the pastor, Rev.
Father Bullion, attired in his priestly vest
ments, who had turned from the brilliantly
lighted altar and faced the congre-
CATION, began denunciation of
anarchy and the attack upon Mr.. Frick.
Not sound could be heard in the edifce
except the earnest words from the sanctu-
ary, so wrapt were listeners in what was
being said The clergyman dwelt upon the
pleasure afforded all good citizens by the
fact that the imprisoned man was not from
Homestead and that his principles were not
theirs. He declared that peaceable means
were best for both sides, and the ones that
should be employed, violence only
tending to create and increase bitterness
of feeling. He hoped to be able soon to
say that the company had realized that it
would be more benefited financially, which
he assumed was the object in view, by an
honorable arrangement with the old hands,
rather than in securing the country to fill
their places. The strikers were urged, in
conclusion. to hold themselves in readiness
tor an opening toward what was the only
feasible means for rightful settlement just

THINK THEY KNOW HIM.
Greensburg Had a Crank Who " as AZ

Greensburg Had a Crank who vas AZ
fected by Hot wcathsr.
A dispatch from Greensburg states that
the people in that locality believe that the
man who shot II. c. Frck is none other
than Simon Bachmann, who took up his
quarters in that place II months ago. While
in Greensburg Simon resided in Ludwick,
a suburb, the residents of which were mostly
Polish Hebrews. He distinguished himself
by becoming insane frequently during the
summer months. but in the winter he always
seemed peaceably inclined.
AT one time, while laboring under a hal
1uclnation, Bachmann stole horse He
was arraigned for trial and the scene which
followed was something remarkable The
young man assumed dramatic attitude and
gave vent to such threats and ararchistic
utterances that the magistrate became
frightened. He was committed for 80 days,
and, upon being released, became engaged
with book agency, and subsequently en-
tered the land Office business in Indiana and
Westmoreland counties.
1t is alleged when the agencv called for
q settlement the Bachmann was short of
funds. When arrest was threatened the
oung mans socialistic ideas again broke
t and 1t was deemed best to let him
.one. 1t Is thought at Greensburg that
the warm days of July have again turned
his mind and led him to commit the rash
deed Of Saturday.

Carrilton, Mo.-At F. M. Saturday a fire
started in the coal room OF the Davis Manu-
featuring Company, wood workers. In .
few minutes the entire building was sheet
of flames. FROM this building the fire was
communicated to the other buildings
in the block, all Of which were
more or less damaged and some Of
them totally destroyed. At this writing tho
fire is still burning, with a fair prospect that
every building in the block will be total
loss, as the supply of water is giving out.
Loss of property will not be less than $780,

rlance at the man. The crowd, however, was
8 very orderly one, as there was no outburst
or outcry Of any kind At the iail en-
trance, when the crowd was thickest, a re-
porter who had accompanied the party re-
marked to the prisoner, "You seem to be
quite an attraction" and to which he
laughingly responded "Yes."
At the jail office the party were met by
Warden McAleese and Deputy Warden
Soffel, who admitted them behind the bars
into the Office. Berkman was then released
from the handouts.
Warden McAleese said: $50 this is the
celebrated prisoner. Why, he doesn't look
very desperate.
Berkman's face broke into smile, but he
said not a word. A few minutes later
Deputy Warden Sofel began a search of
his pockets, and the prisoner laughinglv
said that he had nothing in his pockets,
and referred to the officers who accompanied
him to back up the statement
wilted Under tine warden's Qaestions
Warden McAleese at once commenced
his fire of questions which ALWAYS bresks
down prisoner ana the scoundrel admitted
his name was not Berkman, and that he had
only assumed it very recently. The as,as
sin was then taken to a cell in the south
wing, close to where the Homestead pris
oners are confined.
The charge against him was felonious
assault and the hearing was set for August
before Alderman Gripp. As the maxi
mum sentence under this charge is only
seven years, it is probable some other
charge will be added or the whole charge
changed. Everybody seemed sorry that
there was no law by which he could be
hanged.
All afternoon at Central station he COM
planned about the quality of meals fur
nished at the station house, and when SUD-
per was brought to him he refused to eat it
because he heard he was to be taken to jail.
In that he was fooled, for he did not know
what prison fare was. Once in the iail, he
complained of hunger, and the Warden Or
dered him tin of water and half loaf of
bread. He ate it in silence.
Just before being taken to his cell he
stated he intended to make q long statement
when be was put on trial He also said he
would make written statement for the pa
pers in German.

Electrical Letter Stampers.

The electrical stamping machines which
are being introduced into many postofices
are confirming in an unmistakable way the
well-known fact that very curious things go
through the mails If the contents of q
letter happen to be of soft and yielding
nature, matters 60 smoothly enough, but if
the inclosure is hard or tough, there is sure
to be trouble. 1t Is case Of either the
machine or the inclosure coming to grief If
the inclosure is, for instance, of metal, the
stamping apparatus is often thrown COM
pletely out of gear. The chances are that
any light. breakable trinket after going
through stamping machine will be more
or less injured. The remedy, however, is
simple. The postoffice officials now warn
the public that perishable merchandise
should be inclosed in boxes.

the most marked evidences of sin
cere regard and admiration for Mr.:
F'rick. They spoke of him as a kind
friend and intelligent and Just chief No
man could have more loyal and devoted
lleutenants than has Mr.. Frick, and their
feeling for him is not one of >sel6shness or
bounded by interest in the Carnegie pay

frequent personal business contact with Mr..
Frick as an employer who does not speak

as he did not bleed enough to at all seriously
affect him.
1t can be said with truth that there is

news, or has sent messages of sympathy.

In all parts Of the country, railway presi-

men of nearly all shades of political opinion

how Mr. Frick is and expressing horror at
