IN THE NATIONAL SENATE.
Senators Hope TO Juto on the Repea
Bill Before ThurHdny.


WASHINGTON, Sept S-Rumors of an
impending and Indispensable compromise
on the bill to repeal the purchasing clauses
Of the Sherman act We're current IN the
lobhies and on the floor of the senate yes
terday. The speech made by Mr.. Walt
hall (Dem. Miss.), to whom MIR. Stewart
had yielded the floor in spirit of accom-
mediation, may have been an Indication of
the character and direction of such com
promise. He declared himself willing to
cooperate with the chairman of the finance
committee in having speedy action on the
bill, on condition that the declaration of
the bi-metallio policy in Mr.. Voorhees,
substitute be clothed in the forms and
given the force of law He could see no
reason why that should not be done, and
II 1t were done the bill could be passed in
half the time that it would otherwise
take.
Then Mr.. Morgan tDem., Ala.) inti-
mated that after some conference with
the chairman Of the finance committee he
would not make motion, which he had
intended to make, to take up his resOlu-
tion for the appointment Of a Joint select
committee on ilnance Mr.. Stewards
courtesy to the senator from Mississippi
was a third instance. After Mr.. Walthall
closed his speech, the Nevada senator re-
sumed the floor and discoursed on the sub
iect of silver up to 4:l5
The most significant incident of the
days session took place at the close when
Mr.. Daniel {Dem., Va) having given no.
hce that he would address tho senate next
Thursday, Mr.. Platt (Rep, Conn) sug-
gested an earlier day, rs Senators honed to
have a vote ON the bill before Thursday.

marx, they set their spinnakers In good
time. The Vigilant had her boom low
cred and the sail broken out In one min
ute and thirty-five seconds, while the Col
onia did SO in one minute and twenty-five
seconds. This is decided improvement
on the work done during the recent cruise
Of the New York Yacht club, and speaks
well for the discipline on board both
yuchts. The Colonia was the first to set
her balloon jib topmast, doing SO at 2:l2;l5,
followed by the Vigilant one minute
later.
In the run home it was easy to see that
the Colonia steadily crawled up to the
Vigilant, and would have passed her had
the distance been greater. The wind
lightened toward tho finish, and when tho
yachts were about three miles south of
Sandy Hook the wind shifted to the south
west, forcing them 10 take in spinnak ers
and jib topsails and head up for the line.
The difference between the sloops at tho
finish was minute SO seconds, and 1t was
minutes 55 seconds At the outer mark. 1t
showed gain of | minute 20 seconds in
favor OF fhe Colonia on the run before the
wind.
Looking Mt the race as whole, from
start to finish, there was difference of l
minute and 10 seconds between the sloops
as they crossed the line and minute and
SO seconds when they finished. This was
n clear gain for the Nigilant of IA seconds
over the entire course. Being the longer
boat. however. she had to allow her ad-
versary 20 seconds which, Of course, gave
the race to the Colonia, making her q
winner by seconds.

COLLISION ON THE RAIL.
Terrible Loss of Life in an Indiana
Wreck.
ELEVEN HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT.

A Dispute between Operators as to the
Responsibility for the Great Calamity.
Victims Pinned Down by the Wreck.
age Until Rescued.
CHICAGO, Sept. s.-A head-on collision
between milk train of the Chicago. Pitts
burg and Fort Wayne railway and an
eastbound passenger train on the Pan
handle, or Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Chicago
and St. Louis railway, killed twelve per-
sons and injured as many more. The col
lison occurred in the 81" running from
the main line just south Of Colehour to
East Hammod, Ind, at the point of
curve and in sparsely settled locality.
The killed are: Anton Temple, man
ager of Schiller theatre, Chicago, on his
way to English lake shooting, head crushed
to mass; unknown man, with Manager
Temple, probably an actor; William Rig
ney, travelling passenger agent Of tho Wis
consin Central railroad; g. A. Hines
Vincernes, Ind; William Shinicker, New
Albany, Ind; William Richardson, Chi
cago; r ID. Adams, Fairfield, ILL.,; L. A.
Barnard, Terre Haute, Ind; unknown
tramp; Chester f. Coffin, Carthage, Ind;
Emil Godenrath, Chicago; L, ID. Fleming,
Fairfield, Ills. Nearly a score of other un-
fortunates were manned and mangled.
The baggage car of the eastbound train
was grouud into pieces, and from this
most of the killed and injured were taken.
The removal OF the scene Of the wreck
from immediate police and surgical aid
made the calamity most distressing one,
and It was more than an hour before the
first OF those rescued, MANNED and bleed
ing, could be carried to houses in Cole
hour and South Chicago for treatment
al IaN
ter place, and engines were hastily pre-
pared and rushed to the scene of the
wreck.
The most horrible sight was the mass
of human remains thatwas dashed against
| the tender of the Panhandle locomotive.
! 1t had once been a man. Some said he was
| a tramp, and that he had been stealing u
ride on tho blind baggage platform. When
! the collision came this unknown man was
crushed between the baggage car mud the
heavy tender. Ono man, whose name has
| not yet beon learned, was thrown partially
out of smoker window and baggage pin
toned the remainder OF the body within
the wrecked car. All efforts to discngagc
the body were unavailing, and the livid
features of the dead man stared the res
ouers in the face
There will certainly be an investigation
to fix the blame for the terrible loss OF
life. At present there is dispute between
the operator at Colchour and the general
Office of the road in the city as to what the
train orders were each trying to fasten
the blame upon the other. The operator
at Colehour is A. Il. Kennedy Rtlro ad

THE BUCKINGHAM MURDERS.
Paul Hailiday's Body Found-The Mui
deress Attempts Suicide.

MiDDLETowN, n. Y, Sept. s.-The body
OF Paul Halliday, the husband Of the
woman now under arrest, was dug mp
yesterday 1t was under the Halliday
house, and was found lying on it's back.
Constable Scott reports that Mrs. Hal
lday tore her garter loose and twisted it
around her neck and pulled on both ends
with all her might. He removed it from
her as soon as he discovered what she was
attempting to do, but her face was badly
flushed and she was painting for breath.
A band of gypsies has arrived at Bur.
lingham, aud it Is believed they will make
an effort to secure the release Of the muir
deress, who is said to have belonged to
the tribe a few years ago.
About two years ago a boy named George
Kline, who lives In house next to the Hal
liduy's, disappeared. 1t was supposed at
the time that he had stolen a horse and
wagon which had been missed, and had
gone off with it, Ii is now thought that
he had in some way incurred the displeas-
ure of Mrs. Halliday, who put him out of
the way. In fact, it is generally believed
that more bodies may be found about the
locality of the Halliday house. There is
great fear TINT u mob will form and lynch
Mrs. Halliday.

walk-neither long nor strikingly beauti-
ful-that is a modern If comparatively
humble rival Of these glistening highways

hard cash
Mr. Edward p. Kinsella, vice president
of the Hanley- Kinsella Coffee company, is
the proud possessor OF this unique walk.
1t is composed Of several tons of Brazilian
pebbles that came to him in an ordinary
business way during the past few years.
This firm are heavy importers of Brazil
ian coffee. Before the berries are ready to
be roasted for the market the sacks are
opened and the contents carefully examined
for twigs, leaves and other impurities, the
latter generally taking the shape Of small
pebbles about the size of a coffee berry
These came with such regularity and in
such quantities that long ago the idea that
they were accidentally in the sacks was
abandoned and the conclusion reluctantly
reached that they were purposely placed in
the bags to make weight. The daily dis
coveries of the Brazilian pebbles will fill an
ordinary water bucket The importers pay
for coffee
Two years ago Mr.. Kinsella concluded to
utilize this apparent evidence of the dis
honesty of the faraway coffee packer and
had the accumulation of pebbles carted out

The late Admiral Tryon was very big
man. Apropos of this fact, the writer of a
biography of him tells droll story. The
admiral was once, apparently from his own
ship, watching an attempt that was being
made to float another ship which had
grounded. By some mischance he fell over
board Just as he did so the ship which
had gone aground floated. Accordingly
the sailors afterward held that Tryon had
not fallen, but thrown himself into the sea,
and that his object was to raise the level of
the water so ms to enable the stranded ship
to come off. This object, they declared, he
had undoubtedly achieved.-London Tit
