BRAZILIAN REVOLUTION
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY LIVES LOST.


LONDON, Sept Pa private cable.
dated Rio de Janeiro, says affairs at
the Brazilian capital are unchanged.
The rebel fleet is still threatening
bombardment and negotiations are
yet progressing. Business has picked
up somewhat. 1t is said to be not
quite impossible that peace arrange
ment may be patched up. In this
case it will be mainly due to the un-
firing efforts Of the representative of
foreign powers and foreign warships
at Rio. Failing in patching up peace
very shortly the insurgents repeat the
announcement that they will lay Rio
in ashes. President Peixoto does not
increase in popularity with the masses
and is said to be going about sur
rounded by strong bodyguard in
constant dread of assassination. 1t is
believed the basis of peace under
negotiation is the resignation of the
president and government and free
pardon to the insurgents engaged in
the revolt. The insurgents still
blockade Santos.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 23.-At Kings
bury, Ind, a station on the Wabash
railroad sixty miles east of Chicago,
the second section of west-bound pas
senger train No. SO, from Detroit to
Chicago, ran into east-bound freight
train No. 90, standing on the siding,
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning,
wrecking both engines and the
coaches and sleeper of the passenger
train. Relief trains were started i'm
mediately for the scene of the wreck,
taking physicians. 1t is reported that
ten persons have been taken out dead.
Engineer Green and Conductor Coul-
ter of the passenger train being
among the killed. The engineer of
the freight train is reported injured.
Everything is being done to make the
injured comfortable at neighboring
farm-houses. The accident was
caused by the brakeman of the freight
train turning the switch to let the
freight train out of the siding after
the first section of the passenger train
had passed and just before the arrival
of the second section. Twelve dead
bodies have so far been taken from
the wreck, land it is believed there
are still eighteen or twenty bodies to
be removed. Twenty others are in
jured more or less.

ST, LouIs, Sept. 25.-The passenger
trains running into st Louis rom all
directions are crowded with visitors to
the Autumnal Festivities, which com
menced on Sept and will continue
until Oct. n. The expressions of de-
light are universal, and the attractions
are even more numerous and irresisti-
BILE than in the past seasons. The
street illuminations consist OF $1,000
electric and gas lights, which are used
to the best advantage, and the down
town streets present an appearance
OF dazzling mugniicenco. There are
twelve electric arches, or panoramas,
each illuminated by upward of 1000
incandescent lights, and these are
never falling source OF attraction to
the tens OF thousands of people who
throng the streets on illumination
nights. One of the most remarkable
triumphs of art over electricity is the
Electric Bulletin, which proclaims
words Of welcome in letters of fire to
the visitors, special honor being paid
to The visitors of the day.
Special illuminations are announced
for Sept. IS and 80, and for oct. 3, s,

LONDON, Sept. PA sensational
tragedy has occurred in this city, the
result of which is the death OF three
persons, one woman. The others
were men, supposed to be rivals for
the friendship Of woman, but this is
mere conjecture as the three died al
most instantly. Daisy Montague, a
ballet girl, left.a theatre at l o'clock
this morning for her home, She
was joined by q man, and when near
Kings Cross they were stopped by a
second man. just what passed be-
tween the three is not known. They
talked in loud and angry tones and
attracted the attention of passers-by.
Suddenly one Of the men pulled a re-
volver and shot the woman, killing
her instantly. He then shot the other
man dead and afterwards himself.

had Roads Cost IA Human Life.

81 am thoroughly convinced" said the
village doctor, that Farmer Peterson's
life could have been saved if the roads
between here and Burton's Corners had
been as good as they might have BEEN
The distance is ten miles. 1t took young
Peterson half an hour longer than it
should have taken him to get here, and
me half an hour longer to drive there
and the hour made exactly the differ
ence between life and DEATH
There is no reason to believe that this
case was an isolated one. Time means
not only money, but often human life AS
well. Country doctors are in a great
degree dependent upon the condition of
the roads.
1t sometimes happens that the state of
the roads is such that the physician
cannot reach some sickbed at all, and
this not as the result of great natural
calamity, such as a flood or a great snow
fall, but because the people whose busi-
ness it is to build and repair the roads
have not built them in such way that
they will -emain fairly passable in con-
tinued wet weather.
There are many matters besides mere
convenience bound up in the question of
good roads. A general improvement in
them would not only add greatly to the
wealth of the people, but would make
their lives easier and sometimes no
