HEAD-END COLLISION,
Two Persons Killed on the Rock
Island Road

Two Persons Killed on the Rock
Island Road.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. ia Republic,
Topeka, Kan, special says: early this
morning the regular Denver Rock Isl
and passenger train collided with a
freight train near Paxico, twenty miles
west of Topeka. 1t is miracle that this
head-end collision did not cause the
loss of many lives. Only two persons
were killed. They were colored tramps
who were stealing ride on the plat
form of the baggage car. E. E. Harter,
the mail agent, jumped and sustained
serious injuries on the head. He
lived at st. Joseph, Mo. Charles
Toppan, the engineer of the pas
senger train. made jump for
life, but sustained fractures of the
skull, from which he will die. He re-
sides at Kansas City, Mo. Baggage
Master Forsyth, of Kansas City. Kan,
is injured internally, and his recovery
is doubtful. His car >gas smasked into
splinters. Both engines and the bag
gage cars were badly smashed. As
sistant Superintendent Peers says the
wreck was the result of failure by the
passenger train crew to observe train
orders. This is the second bad wreck
of this kind on this railroad within two
weeks. The train wrecked last night
was in charge of Conductor Jones, one
of the oldest on the road. Several
months since the railroad discharged
its best telegraph operators and re-
tanned a cheaper grade of men. Train
men believe these wrecks are due more
that fact than anything else.

Have to Re Untied

Have to Be United.
NEWPORT News, Va, Oct. 15.-Miss
Elizabeth Clarke, who was selected to
represent Virginia at the Confederate
reunion at Birmingham, Ala, has un-
Willingly become the wife of DR.. Tay-
lor, who resides on Hampton Roads, a
mile below this city.
On Tuesday evening last Miss Clarke
attended social gathering atthe Taylor
cottage. Among the guests was Justice
of the peace named Haskins, who was
recently authorized to perform the mar
riage ceremony. During the evening
the conversation turned upon the new
duties of Justice Haskins, and some one
suggested that he try his hand in tying
the nuptial knot.
Miss Clarke and DR.. Taylor agreed to
play the parts of bride and bridegroom.
and Justice Haskins, after asking the
usual questions. which were properly
answered, pronounced the couple ma
and wife.
The affair was looked on as mere
incident of the evenings entertain
ment until today. when 1t was learned
that it was in all respects a perfectly
valid marriage under the laws of Vir-
ginia.
The situation is further complicated
by the fact, as alleged, that Miss Clarke
is engaged to be married to another,
and that the affair will have to be post
poned until after she can be divorced
from DR.. Taylor.

ONEKAMA, Mich. Oct. 15.-The big

Starke, ten miles north of here, at noon
yesterday, to save her from laundering
In deep water. The seas soon over
whelmed the wreck and drove the crew
into rigging. Before the arrival of the

Frankfort the schooner went to pieces.
But one, Capt. William Packer, was
saved. The dead are:

The wreck was first sighted by mau

The progress of the life savers was
exceedingly slow. and it was nearly
midnight when they reached the hlgh
sand bluff overlooking the lake at
Starke. The life-saving crew from
Frankfort gained the bluff at dark, but
even then it was too late.
All the life-savers could do was to
care for Capt. Packer, who had jumped
overheard and swan ashore. All night
long they patrolled the beach, with the
hope that some poor sailor might have
revived and would be thrown up by the
surf, but their efforts were without re-
ward.
There was nothing to indicate where
the schooner had stranded yesterday.
A mass of wreckage thrown up by the
surf on the beach was all there was left
of the wreck.

MUCH WRECKAGE.
Indications That a Vessel Went
Down Near Whitefish Point

DETROIT, Oct. ia Free Press spe-
cial from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, saws:
The captain of the steamer Jay Gould,
which passed down tonight, reports
passing through quantity of wreckage
above Whitefish Point. 1t consisted of
matches. tarpaulin and hatch frames.
This would indicate that some vessel
had foundered and gone to the bottom
with all Oh board. From the appearance
of the wreckage it could not be de-
termined whether it came from a
steamer or schooner. The heavy seas
washing over the boat must have broken
the pins which fastened the hatch COW
ers, and in short space of time the
hatch covers and frames were swept
away, and the vessel filled through the
open spaces. 1t is not thought probable
that the crew were able to launch their
boat, or if they did this, were engulfed
in the boiling sea before they had gone
far.
The Jay Gould came into Bay Mills
with five feet of water in her hold. The
first mate, Ben Lewis, was caught by a
wave and washed off the deck. An
other wave from an opposite direction
caught him and landed him on the deck
again. He was bruised and completely
unnerved by his miraculous escape
from death.

disposed of special order will be
brought in for the consideration of the
bankruptcy bill. The committee on

ton of this bill. Col. Oates, its champ
ion, asks for five days, but will be con-

majority in the house favorable to a
bankruptcy bill, if the sentiment of
the last house is any indication,
it has some very bitter opponents.
1t was defeated in the last congress by
tllbusterlng. The special order, how
ever, would disarm the filibustering
this time. But the opponents Will make
very hard fight against it. They will
be led by Judge Culberson, of Texas,
supported by Bailey and Kilgore, of the

considered as one of the best lawyers in

dietary committee, they count upon

senate this week come to the house,

Entire Crew Probably Lost.

steamer Dean RlChmOnQ With
Entire Crew Probably Lost.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 15.-The sad
dest feature of the lake storm which
ragged yesterday and last night is the re-
| ported loss of the steamer Dean Rich
mond on the shore near Dunkirk. The
| first that was heard of this disaster was
| at 8 o'clock this morning, when the
crew of the Helena reported having
| sighted the Dean Richmond off Long
| Point, where she seemed to be laboring
under difficulties.
Later Capt. Jack Tierney, of the
steamer w. Ii. Stevens, reported that
| he sighted the Richmond i'll the middle
of the lake, about four miles this side
| of Erie. One of her stacks was missing,
| and while he was looking the other
| stack and spar went by the board. She
was laboring heavily in the trough, as
though her steering gear had become
disabled. Since then nothing has been
seen or heard of the vessel. 1t is
thought that she must have gone down
with all on board.
Her cargo was eighty tons of mer-
chandise from Toledo to Buffalo. She
belonged to the Toledo. st. Louis tS
Kansas City line. Her crew consisted
of about eighteen souls, of which the
following is the best obtainable list:
George Stoddard. master, Toledo; Wal
ter Goodyear, first mate, Toledo: George
-, second mate, Toledo; John
Hogan, first engineer, Port Huron;
William Brown, fireman, Toledo; E.
Wheeler, wheelman, Toledo; Francis
Patton. lookout. Buffalo; Miss Aims
worth, stewardess, Port Huron.
A dispatch from Dunkirk this even
ing states that three unknown bodies,
apparently of sailors, have been washed
ashore few miles from that port. The
local agent of the steamship line has
telegraphed to every point on the lake
shore between Buffalo and Erie to keep
sharp lookout for wreckage or bodies,
but so far has received no replies.

SALTWATER, Oct. 15.-Joe Sheehy
was shown an article in the GLOBE of
yesterday, in which Paddy Harrington
offers to fight him with skin-tight
gloves. Sheehy said that nothing
would suit him better than to meet Har-
rington in finish fight, but that a con-
test with skin-tight gloves is prohibited.
He will, however, give Harrington all
the opportunity he desires to fight as
soon as the necessary arrangements can
be made. In the last fight between
these two men Sheehy proved himself
more than match for Harrington, and
fought square fight from the start.
The prison night school was started
Saturday evening, and will be continued
during the fall ana winter months.
The school is different this year from
former years, and will be conducted
more upon the order of the graded
schools. Principal Aylard, of the Still
water high school, has been engaged as
teacher, and will devote several even
ings each week at the prison school.
Warden Wolfer believes that an educa-
tion is preventative of crime, and will
see that all of the convicts in the Min
nesota prison receive a common school
education.

FIGHTING OVER A FORTUNE.
Case Involves a Five MilIion-Dol-

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-There is
being prepared for adjustment before
the supreme court of Arizona case
which involves five million dollar es-
tate left by the late John d. Walker,
who died in the Hapa insane asylum,
this state.
Shortly before his death Walker mar
ried Miss Rice, but was put IN an in
sane asylum by his brothers, William
Walker, of Pasadena, and Lueien Walk
er, of Los Angeles. His wife claimed a
share of the estate, but the Arizona
court declared the marriage illegal be-
cause it was said that Walker was in
sane at the time the marriage was con-
tracted. Mrs. Walker will appeal the
case to the supreme court. Walkers
daughter by former wife, who was an
Indian, also claims share of the es-
tate.

Constitutional Amendment.

Hall, of Minnesota, Proposes a
Constitutional Amendment.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Representa-
tive Hall. of Minnesota, has been pre-
pairing constitutional amendment
which he will introduce, proposing a
form of closure for both house and SEN
ate. 1t is his opinion the people would
be glad to amend the constitution so
that vote would be reached in either
house after reasonable time. The
import of his amendment will be that no
such measure shall pass either house
unless majority of each shall vote in
favor of it. Mr.. Hall would request a
roll call on every measure that passes
no matter how trivial the same-as re-
quired in the legislatures of many
states. This amendment, he does not
think, would pass at this session, but
he hopes that it may be the ground
work of some substantial reforms in
legislation.

Be Undone.
SEDALIA, Mo-, Oct. 15.--The inside
history of battle of two cities, Denver,
Col, and New Haven, Conn, was un-
folded Friday in this city. Ernest
Thompson, man twenty-one years of
age, more than year ago obtained a
responsible position in Denver bank
through the influence of his father,
Clarence E. Thompson, New Haven
banker.
Young Thompson fell in with a gay
set in Denver last February and made
the acquaintance of Margaret Arm
strong, whose childhood had been spent
at Pleasantville, Pa. Miss Armstrong
was handsome blonde and well edu-
Gated. She was half dozen years
Thompson's senior, and the young man
quickly fell under her wiles. She repre-
sented to him that she was a million
aire and a member of an old and prom
inent Pennsylvania family. After a
brief courtship, Thompson and Miss
Armstrong were quietly married.
Their honeymoon was brief, lasting a
short two months. In that time she
secured, he says, many valuable dia-
monds and large roll from him, and
then fed with a gambler. Young
Thompson, during the honeymoon, be-
came aware that his wife was a NOR
phine fiend, and, he now declares, that
after her fight he learned that she was
an adventures, with a number of
aliases. The son returned to New
Haven.
Steps were at once taken to secure
divorce. The woman was traced to Sc
dalia. Here she passed as the wife of
E. E. McClintock, a supply agent and
operator for the Missouri Pacific. The
pair were traced from here to Lamonte,
and from there to Whiting, Kan. where
they were found by an officer. McClin-
took was threatened with punishment
for completely in defrauding Thompson
of money and jewelry, but he made a
sworn confession of his relations with
the woman. Other dispositions were
taken today, and the evidence thus OBJ
tanned will secure for Ernest Thompson
a divorce from his wife, and bring re-
lief to an old and respected Connecticut
family.

What Our Representatives Will

Of the Geary act for six months will 90
to a vote tomorrow afternoon at 3
O'Clock, and will undoubtedly pass by a
large majority, despite the opposition
of the Pacific coast members. It is
hardly probable that either of the three
amendments offered by Mr.. Geary will
carry, although there is a possibility
that the one requiring Photographic
Identification and possibly the one de-
fning Chinese merchant may secure
The support of minority. The
McCreary bill will be followed
by the Cox bill to prevent bank
directors or officials from draw
ing out of institutions with which
they are connected. This bill, too,
seems to have the sentiment of the house
behind it. but several notifications
may be suggested to the measure in its
