needed, above the normal, and beneff-
cial except where it washed lands bad
ly. The nights have been too cool.
Warm sunshine needed.
CENTRAL DISTRICT-A severe
storm passed through the central part
of the State on the Sd. The heaviest
rains occurred in this district, and
while the rain was generally benef1-
cial it washed land badly in many
places and injured lowland crops con-
Siderably. High wind on the Sd also
did much damage. a tornado passed
through central Granville into Vance
county north of Henderson doing
great damage along its path.
The nights have been too
cool for cotton. Planting will prO5a-

TEN MEN CRUSHED TO DEATH,
And Six More Badly Injured by a
Railroad Accident.

Railroad Accident.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, May 9.-One of
the most horrible wrecks in the his
tory of railroadfng occurred on the
Big Four road in this city Sunday
morning, as a result of which ten men
are now dead and many more injured.
The accident was caused by the fail
ure of the air brakes to work. The
engineer undoubtedly discovered this
before reaching the cut beyond the
Wabash river, as vigorous whiSt1ing
for brakes could be heard when the
train was still a mile west of the city.
The engineers desperate effort to
stop the train was shown by the large
amount of sand thrown by him on the
bridge through which the train came
just before the fatal crash. The en-
CINE dashed out of the bridge over the
Wabash river at speed not less than
sixty miles an hour, crashing into the
depot building, carrying off a portion
of the depot and train sheds several
hundred feet, the engine when it left
the track being followed by the bag
gage car, two postal cars and express
car and piled in one prOmiscuous mass,
a total and complete wreck, burying a
score or more of victims in the awful
pile of debris.
To add to the CONSERVATION, fire
broke out from the stove in the bag
gage car. but the city fire department
speedily eXtinguished the flames. A
large crowd Of citizens gathered very
quickly at the scene of the disaster
and assisted in rescuing the victims,
and large force of local physicians
gave the necessary attention to the
wounded. Several victims of the
wreck We're PERSONS standing in the
depot waiting for the train. A hack
man, mail cart driver and passen-
gers Were struck.
The engineer and flremen were both
killed

person he might have found out some
thing. perhaps he has found out
something, for the statement IF there
is such a letter, Glenn didn't write it"
implies that there may in his opinion
be such letter there, though it has
not yet been put on file in the regular
appointment division where the work
is eight or ten days behind.
If the letter being to the President
alone, got into the Treasury by mis-
take, the President could recall it,
and treat it as a private and personal
matter; but he issued an order this
morning excluding all callers from
the White House, so that l could not
