against several OF the most conspicuous
statesmen in Italy. Proof was said to

have aggregated $1,000 0 francs, most OF
which bad been spent TO strengthen the
government in the Chamber.
Signor Guerei asked the government
whether there was truth in the report
that the ministers had used the funds of
the Bank OF Rome for election purposes.
Signor Giolitti declined 10 consider Sc
riously such calumnies.
Ex-Premier di Rudini defended himself
against the suspicion of having received
any OF the money said TO have been paid
TO recent Italian premiers.

EAST DOUGLAS WRECK
A Bad Accident on the New York and
New England Road.
THE BOAT TRAIN TELESC0PED.
One Passenger was Fatally Injured ana
Several Others Seriously Hurt-Ihe
Responsibility Divided Between the
Crew and the Train Dispatcher.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.

WooNsocKET. Feb. 3.-There was a Sc
rious wreck upon the New York and
New England Railroad at East
Douglas at Z O'Clock this morning that
will probably result in the loss or at least
one life. The "boat-train," due at East
Douglas at sci a. M, was one hour
and twenty minutes late upon arriving
at that station. IL runs the express
freight from Putnam TO Blackstone.
Upon arriving at East Douglas it received
orders TO halt, and pass the New York ex'
press.
Before the crew had time TO take the
passing track the express dashed around
the curve. The engine of the express
crashed with terrible forcs into the rear
OF the ooat-train. The latter consisted of
two express freight cars, one combina-
ton aud one passenger coach.
The locomotive of the express which
was running at n high rate of speed
buried itself in tho rear coach of the
standing train, penetrating almost two
thirds of the body. The force of the
collision completely telescoped the next
car. In the rear car NtTe INelNc paSocu-
gers. all men. None of these were seri-
ously injured.
In the smoker were seated several
Italian emigrants. A travelling man,
Chas. Wellman. aged 40, was taken out
Of the wreck fatally injured. There were
several women in the combination car,
three Of whom have broken legs.
The responsibility for the accident is
based upon several violations OF orders.
The crew OF the boat-train claim that
they Jagged the express, but eye wit
nesses assert that no effort whatever was
made to warn the approaching train.
The train dispatcher is also blamed for
running the trains too close together.
Even had the crew of the boat-train at
tempted to flag the express there would
scarcely nave been time to place the sig
nal at the proper distance before its ar
rival.
A wrecking train is at work clearing
up the debris.

Scenes of Their Robberies in Ohio River

ing.
PARKERsBuRa, w. Va, Nov. 11.-For
many months past the stores, resi-
| dences and post Offices of towns along
the Ohio river between here and Sisters
Vile have been systematically robbed
by what appeared to be an organized
gang of thieves. After The robbery OF
the st. Mary's post Office, few weeks
ago, United States Inspector Hooten
and Deputy Marshal Mehen were de-
tailed to ferret out the robbers, and by
Tuesday they obtained sufficient evil
dence to warrant the arrest of Frank
Bailey, of ST. Mary's, on suspicion. To
keep in the background themselves
they detailed Special Officer Petty, of
this city, and Sheriff Reynolds, of
Pleasant county, to make the arrest
After being placed in Jail here Bailey
confessed, and gave as his accomplices
Edward Bailey, three men named
Shambiin, Broh and Pyles, and five
Others whose names have not yet been
made public. Fyles was arrested and
secretly brought here on Wednesday.

Bailey and Shamblin were captured at
Letart, on their shanty boat, Crown
Hill Upon searching the boat large
quantity of stolen goods, identified as
that taken at Cochransville and Hays
station, was found scattered in ''blind"
closets.
The four men arrested are now in
jail, and officers started up the river
Friday with warrants for the other five
named by Frank Bailey and several
others whom they think are members
OF the band. Among those under sus-
picion is John Coss, the Ohio convict,
who before his release wrote Mrs.
Phillip Still his divorced wife here,
that when his term was out he intended
coming down and killing both her and
her husband, and who when he came
here, was arrested and railroaded out
of town.
Coss' appearance tallies with the
description of one of the robbers of st.
Mary's post Office, and he left home for
that place the night before the rob-
berry. The officers think that, although
they have not vet arrested the leader
of the band, they have unearthed the
largest, best organized and most des-
perate gang of thieves that has ever
operated in this vicinity, and whose
depredations will run up into the thou.

New YORK, Nov. GA Washington
dispatch to the Herald says:
"a diplomatic bombshell will burst
In the next few days, and the report
will be heard throughout the entire
world. The bomb will be thrown by
an accredited representative of the
United States government and he will
hurl it against the provisional govern
ment of the Hawaiian islands. The de-
nouement will take place in Honolulu.
In fact, there is every reason to be-
licve that it may have already taken
place.
"1f Minister Willis and Rear Admiral
Irwin arrived in Honolulu on schedule
time there should be even livelier times
In the capital city of the Hawaiian
islands Wednesday than there are in
the metropolis of the United States.
Briefly stated, the present administra-
tion will do all in its power to restore
the condition of affairs which existed
in Hawaii at the time Minister Stevens,
acting under directions from Washing
ton, ordered the marines ashore from
the Boston and brought about the
overthrow of Queen Lilioukalani."
The Herald says further that mem-
ber of Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet states
that the cabinet held very lengthy
session Tuesday. The cabinet officer
said also that in the nature of things
the minister could not restore the
queen. He can disavow all acts of Min
lister Stevens. the landing of the
marines and the support which this
government gave the provisional gov
ernment, but nothing more. The
restoration of the queen, it is under
stood, is a matter that this government
could leave to the people Of the islands,
that and any form of government the
people might adopt by vote of those
now authorized to use the ballot in the
islands.
1t is understood, says the Herald,
that Mr.. Blount, late special commits
sioner to Hawaii, has been sent for and
will be here in a few days in consulta-
tion with the state department.. While
Mr.. Blount was still in Hawaii he pub.
lished a statement from Secretary
Gresham that the United States had no

A MIGHTY wARsH1P.
The Indiana's Barbette the Stronges
Thing AfOat.

Thing Afloat.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.-After two
months of the most critical work the
heaviest nickel steel armor ever fitted
in the weld has been successfully
rounded in to the after barbette of the
battleship now nearing completion at
Cramps ship yard The thickness of
the barbette will be exceeded in this
country only by the thickness of the
side armor of the ship The Indiana is
practically ready for sea; technically,
however, she is only eighty per. cent
finished. The contractors trial will
take place about February 1, and tho
vessel will be delivered to the govern
ment about June.
The barbette has been in course Of
construction for two years. Itwas de-
signed to carry out the original scheme
of the battle-ships, and in conformity
with the law requiring those vessels to
carry the heaviest guns and armor
afoat. So ponderous was the structure
that the Bethlehem Iron Co. had to
cast it in thirteen plates, which were
forged under 100-ton hammer. The
barbette is 80 feet in diameter, l3 feet
high, and seventeen inches thick. Its
total weight is 4O6 tons, somewhat less
than 100000 pounds, and to lift it an
army of 1900 men would have to exert
their utmost strength.
