Chamber of Commerce.

The work on the new Chamber OF Com
merce building is progressing steadily and
the roof will be put on the latter part Of
January If the weather remains favorable.
The building comrittee have not yet de-
cided whether they will provide for fire
proof floors, but it is very probable that
this will be done.
Secretary Dunlop has already received
a number of applications for certain space
in the building, but no agreements have
yet been made, for the reason chat the
rate of rent has not yet been determined.
The building will be seven stories high.

WRECKED BY ROBBERS.

The Miscreants Throw a Train from
the Track and Cause Four Deaths.
TOPEKA, han, Sept. 22.-Passenger
train No. 8, on the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe road, was wrecked by robbers
three miles west of Usage City. The
baggage, express and mail cars, two day
coaches and two chair cars were thrown
over an embankment three feet high
and the first six cars telescoped. Four
persons were killed outright and twenty
five seriously injured.
The wreck occurred at a small bridge
which crosses ravine. 1t was impos-
sible for the engineer to see the mis-
placed rails in time to check the speed of
the train and the coaches piled one over
the other until the baggage and express
cars were completely hidden from view.
Three Pullman sleepers remained on the
track, but the other cars were completely
demolished. Men, women and children
were piled over each other, caught in
the seats and thrown through the win
dows of the car.
An examination of the track was made,
and it was found that the fish plates had
been removed and the bolts taken out

rail bent over to tho inside. Robbery
was unquestionably the object of the
outrage. The train carried 81 100000 in
currency en- route from the Mexican
Central railway to its headquarters in
Boston. In examining the ground about
the wreck spot was found where three
men had lain in the grass, and tracks
were found leading from this point to
the track. The section house at Barclay
had been broken open, and crowbar,
wrench and sledge hammer stolen All
of these tools, except the crowbar, were
found, and the fish plates and bolts.
which had been removed, were also dis
covered.
The dead victims of the robbers are:
Frank Baxter, express messenger, Kan
sas City; j. Blumenthal, express guards

ncer, Topeka.
It is feared that several of the wounded
will die. A reward of $1,000 is offered
for the arrest Of the miscreants.

day the Erie began selling continuous
train tickets from Buffalo to New York
at a reduction Of So. There Is every
reason to believe that 1t will be met by
competing roads very shortly.
General Passenger Agent Roberts, of
the Erie system, said to United Press
reporteri IL can give you an idea Of
what it all means. When the Trunk line
committee met to make rates for the
Grand Army encampment at Washing.
ton the agreement was that In the Trunk
line territory excursion tickets should be
sold for the price of one fare. These
tickets were TO be by the most direct
route, going and returning. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that the return
tickets should not be by way of New
York. AT the meeting of the committee
held Aug. 80 gave formal notice that
found this agreement had been violated,
and that as tickets returning by way of
New York were affecting the market
here / would meet the rate.
"The agreement not to sell tickets by
way of New York for the return trip
was violated. Thousands of these tick
cts are out. They are in the hands of
scalpers, and they are effecting the pas
senger business between New York and
Buffalo. have just received word that
trouble has broken out in the west. In
Chicago tickets for New York by way Of
the Nickel Plate and Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western roads are being
sold for $3.50.

THE CHARGE AGAINST PECK.
II Is Believed That an Indictment Has
Been Found Against Him,

ALBANY, Sept. 22.-When the Albany
county grand jury came into court it
handed in sealed verdict among the
others and retired. II is given out on
the best Of authority that this indictment
is found against Charles h. Peck, the
state commissioner of labor, and charges
him with having wilfully and ma
hciously destroyed papers and documents
under the seal of the Office of the COM
missioner of labor for public informa-
ton. The indictment is found upon the
evidence given the jury by the janitor of
the building where Mr.. Peck resided,
and who testified that he was hired to
burn up lot of blanks, charred portions
of which were put in evidence. The in
dictment will not be opened until Mr..
Peck is brought into court under arrest
by the officers of the district attorneys
Office.
Mr.. Edward J. Meegan, who is coun-
sci for Mr.. Peck, said that Mr. Peck had
telegraphed his Office that he would be
here. but at the last moment was warned
not to come until measures could be taken
to meet the indictment. Mr.. Meegan
thought the indictment is intended to
get Mr.. Peck in jail, so that the gov
ernor will have a chance to remove him
before election. In aninterview he says:
sit is game of bulldozing that they are
playing and an exceedingly bold move.
What they intend to make by it cannot
conceive. They must certainly be de-
feated in the end. All that we can do
now is to appear in court and then await
trial y
