1t scems now certain that tile president and
Mrs. Cleveland will not visit the Worlds
Fair before Its close, as 1t was hoped they
would. A few days ngo President Higgin-

the president cordially and earnestly asking
him and Mrs. Cleveland to attend, but the
president, In d letter 10 Mr.. Hlgginbotham on
Saturday announces that he will be unable to
leave the city at this time.
On Friday, after the long session. the silver
Democrats were actively engaged In efforts to
perfect n compromise upon which all Demo-
crnts could agree. They will probably pro-
vide for the coinage of the seignlorage of sill

purchase and coinage OF silver at tho rate Of

specified time and for the redemption of all
the paper money except silver certificates
and of nll the gold coins OF smaller dcnomI-
nation than $40.
The dispatches from Washington are of so
varied ~ character that 1t is hard to forecast
the fate OF the silver repeal bill. 1t is stated
that the president and bis cabinet are dis
posed TO accept fome sort Of compromise,
This Is denied and the statement made that

TERRIBLE COLLISION IN MICH
lGAN.
Twelve Persons Killed by n Passenger
Train Being Tslescoped.-Defec-
IL III


Twelve people were killed Instantly and
tweuty-one injured in a rear-end collision in
front of the Michigan Central railroad sta
tion Mt jackson, Michigan on the 18th.
A special excursion train from the East,
bound for Chicago, was standing ut the sta
ton. A second special excursion train came
up under headway and crashed Into the pre-
ccd!ng traln's rear coach. The car complete
ly telescoped the one ahead of 1t. The pas
sengers in the two rear coaches were caught
In a vice. The list of dead and injured
would be more appalling were 1t not for the
fact that the cars were nearly emptied OF
their human freight at tho moment the acci-
dent occurred The passengers were then
taking breakfast at the station eating house.
Steam escaped from the punctured sides of
the boiler and added To the suTerings of the
victims pinned in the wreck and to the hor-
rors OF the scene. Ten thousand inhabitants
of jackson were gathered at the scene of the
wreck In a very short time, and Mt once be-
gan the work OF removing from the telescoped
coaches the killed and wounded, whom they
placed In rows on the green near by. Many
physicians were quickly In attendance upon
the injured, who were removed to the hos
pitfalls and hotels AS rapidly as possible, while
the dead were taken to the morgue.
When the collision occurred the shrieks that
rent the air were heard for blocks. Many
women in the throng on the platform who
witnessed the accident tainted and men were
unnerved. In five minutes hundreds OF men
were working with axes to rescue the wound
ed. The groans Of the dying filed the air for
many minutes and as each new corpse was
dragged from the shattered coaches a heart
rending cry went up from thousands.
Lord have mercy upon my poor SOUL"
cried one poor fellow whose life was ebblng
out. GOOD Jesus, care for Tommy" ejncu-
lated woman who was dying with child at
her breast. woman whose name was un-
known lay on the side of the track suffering
untold mental and physical agony. She was
the mother of child of . years aud implored
the bys;anders 10 save her child. "only let
me see my child before de-" she exclaimed.
"You who know mothers love, get my
child, beseech you" Her child was dead.
The accident was caused by the failure of
the air brakes TO work. The engineer and
fireman saved their lives by jumping.

Tho American yacht viRilant will retain

she has defeated Lord Dunraven's yacht VAL

them occurred on the 18th usder very favor

iy their positions did nos change. The VAL
kyrle kept her lead and II anything increased
It.
The valkyrie turned the stake with its red
flag At .: 81 aud the vigilant followed at ass,
apparently the lead at the nrst having not
been changed. As she swept by the waiting
steamers the valkyrie at 2;s8 set her silk

blanketed her rival and the silk spinn aker fell
in graceful folds for a time Itwas not long,
however, before the Vigilsnt had made a cast
to the south sufficient to enable her to pass
and the Valkyrie's sails filed once more. AT
$3.50 she passed the Valkyrie. Five minutes
later the Valkyrie's spinnaker split, but in
lees than minute her skillful sailors had an
other in place. Short as the delay was, 1t Is
to be feared it lost the Valkyrie the race, for
the two boats were very close.
Meantime the Vlgilant was driving ahead,
everything pulling and the distance between
herself and her gradually widening. She
was picture as she tore along under main
sall Haif, topsail spinnaker and balloon glib,
every thread drawing and the yacht waving
her tall masts slightly from side to side. A
flash from the flagship May the Vigilant
passed the line between herself and the light
ship was re-echoed and prolonged BY all the
whistles in the fleet. The cheering filled the
air, and the wind, strong as 1t was, could
not blow this away. 1t was magnificent
race, the finest seen in years. 1t is impossible
10 say with this race which is the better boat
in such wind as that of Friday. Forty sec
onds on boat to wlndward of fifteen miles
and return Is SO close that the splitting OF the
Nalkyrie's spinnaker might account for 1T.

by the falling shadows, Gontrau with
little luggage mysteriously took cub,

toward the distant quarter of Gros

There he rented room for ten dol

in which one need have no fear OF
meeting the Parisian fashiona bles.
All summer long he remained there.
He hired an old servant to attend to

cries. In their fury they tore their hair and
dashed their heads against the wallis and bars.
One was removed with fractured skull.
The iiremen made heroic efforts TO prose-
cute the work OF rescue in the binding
smoke, and with the assistance of the guards
all the prisoners were finally recovered.
Many, unconscious from breathing the
smoke and flames, were taken to the hospital.
Two have since died Loss to jail e., 600,

ELECTRIC railways along county
roads will do the work which the
horse has done. Freight as we'll
as passenger cars will consti-
tute n feature of electric railroads
and the only thing then left for poor
Dobbin to do to earn his hay and
oats Will be farm work proper. With
electric roads tapping nearly every
rural neighborhcod, the expensive
smooth roadways proposed and
fought for by bicyclists will hardly
be realized. Electricity is a formid
able obstacle in the way of better
roadways.
