CHICAGO. Sept ga north bound
milk train on the Chicago, Pittsburgh
& Fort Wayne road and south bound
Pan Handle passenger train collided on
a 'Y" this morning in the suburb
called Colehour, near the Indiana state
line, and twelve persons were killed
and as many more injured.
The baggage car of the east bound
passenger train was ground INTO pieces
and from this car most of the killed
and wounded were taken. 1t was more
than an hour before the first of the res
cued, MANNED and bleeding, could be
carried to houses in Colehour and
South Chicago for treatment. Phys
icians were summoned from the latter
place and engines and unused cars
were hastily prepared and rushed to
the scene

-Four unknown men
The contact of the moving masses of
cars was tremendous and hardly a
standing portion was left of the east
bound baggage car. The twisted and
torn pieces of this were penetrated in
every direction by the jagged iron
points of the milk train locomotive and
when the residents of Colehour came
hurrying to the scene they found the
front cars of both trains heaped over
the bodies of passengers buried be-

A Good Sandwich.

A sandwich that most men are fond
of is made in this way: Make gill of
Mayonnaise and mix with it half gill
of whipped cream, a tablespoonful OF
grated horseradish and dessertspoon-
full of minced cucumber. Spread the
bread with this mixture and then with
a thin LAYER of rare roast beef minced
very fine. Mutton may be used in
stead of beef. AS the dressing used in
sandwiches is likely to run in hot
weather, it is good plan to mix with
it little gelatine or little aspic jelly.
Sandwiches should never be thickly
buttered. Spread lightly and then
scrape off all the butter possible. Deli
cately made sandwiches are a great adj
dition to the luncheon-table and will
tempt the appetite when plain bread
and butter and cold meat have no
charm. There is no better way to use
the remnants of cold boiled ham than
to mince them very fine or to make into
a paste and mix with it few hard
boiled eggs also cut very fine. Season
to taste. Sweet sandwiches that chill
dren usually enjoy are spread with
thick sweet cream and then with
crushed raspberries sprinkled with su-
gar or with a layer of jam or marina

LIKE A MELOORAMA.

Two Condemned Men, Two Rude Collins,
New Made Graves, a Horseman Bring
ing a Observation-Disclosures Get New
Trial.
WILBURToN, /. T.. Sept 1.-TWO men
with dark skins, rendered ghostly by
fear and long confinement, stood in the
court grounds, ten miles out from Will
burton, alternately singing and pray
ing. In a cabin few yards distant
were two rude collins On little hill
400 yards away two mounds of fresh
dirt marked two new-made graves.
An Indian sheriff with loaded VIM
chester stood near by, look of indif-
ference on his stolid face. All about
were Indian police, deputy marshals,
cow boys and idle, curious spectators.
The two men with fear-distorted faces
were Simon Wade and Solomon Lewis,
Choctaw Indians condemned to die for
political murders. The coffins were in
tended for them, so were the graves.
They were to be stripped to the waist,
seated upon the collins and shot
through their hearts by the sheriff.
Suddenly mounted man, riding rap
idly, appeared. 1t was Robert Benton,
captain of Gov. Jones light hcrsemen.
He came from Red Oak and bore let
ter from Judge Holston stating that he
had reconsidered his decision and in
accordance with the commands made by
Secretary Smith had declared their exc
cution off and granted new trials. The
lives of Simon Wade and Solomon Lewis
had been saved. They are the happiest
Indians in the Choctaw nation. 1t is
more than probable that new trial
means acquittal. Both men passed a
very restless night, their supposed last
on earth, spending the most of the time
praying. They now believe that prayer
saved their lives

WASHINGTON, Sept. s. -Chairman Gull
berson, of Texas, and other members
of the last congress who opposed the
Torrey bankruptcy bill because OF the
stringent features of the involuntary
bankruptcy clause, have agreed with
the advocates of the passage OF the
bankruptcy law to support a bill
which restricts the clause relating tn
Involuntary bankruptcy to grounds on
which an attachment except as to non
residence could be sustained. A bill
drawn on the lines agreed upon will be
reported early, and members of the ju-
dietary committee are confident it will
be passed during the regular session.

The Interior Departnent Closes Out the
Cherokee Aliotments Tine Number Re-
duced. sf
WASHINGTON, Sept a-Those trouble
some Cherokee allotments have at last
been decided, and the result is not
what anybody anticipated. 1t has re-
quired one full week to pass on the
claims, and when the names were an
nounced to-day it was discovered that
only sixty-two of the 135 claimants
were entitled to homestead entries OF
these fifty-three were claimants whom
the Cherokee Settlers association rec
commended.
Under the original agreement by
which the Cherokee outlet was pur-
chased, it was stipulated that seventy
citizens of the Cherokee nation, who
had made improvements in the outlet,
should be entitled to take up eighty
acres of land each by way of compensa-
ton. The article in the agreement be-
tween the Cherokee nation and the
United States provided that these Inn
provements must have been made
prior to November /, 1891, and
whatever improvements had been
made must be shown to have been
intended for farming purposes Not
only the purpose of the farm
er, but his wife and children, must
be shown, and each was entitled to
eighty acres, and they were granted
the right to select any land improved
by the husband and father until all of
his improved land had been taken.
The amount of land which could thus
be taken was limited to 600. acres, and
it was further stipulated that the price
to be paid the Cherokee nation for the
outlet lands, s1.4O an acre, should be
deducted for each acre SO taken in
allotment
No sooner had this agreement been
made public than all kinds of citizens
began to make improvements on the
lands. They built small houses, cost
ing all the way from $40 10 s25, dug
wells and began to skirmish for prob
able land office proximates. Attor-
ney Owen, smooth citizen, with
some Cherokee blood in his veins,
advised his clients to locate near rail-
roads and other advantageous places.
One individual. who was certainly
entitled to an allotment if he had mar
ried after the orthodox form, was cut
out because his marriage certificate
was dated July. 1898. He had been
living with Cherokee woman as hus-
band and was recognized as citizen,
but in order to make his claim abso-
lutely valid. as he thought, he had a
marriage ceremony performed after
the agreement had been entered into.
The allotment agreed upon consumes
only 1900 acres of the 5000 which were
reserved for alloting purposes. From
the action of the department in cutting
the list below the seventy, which the
agreement provided fer, it Is very ap-
parent that the bill now before the
lower house providing for forty-eight
additional allotments will como &c
grief.

mounted men rode up to the door OF
the bank and, entering quickly, rushed
up to A. F. Blachly, cashier, presented
guns and demanded what money he
had. The cashier refused to give it up.
The robbers then made grab
through the window, secured $500 and
opened fire. The cashier fell, being
instantly killed. The robbers then
fred at II. III. Wolbert, assistant

attracted the attention of citizens, and
Ray Simpson, leading hardware mer-
chant and dead shot," ran for his
Winchester and started for the alley in
the rear of the bank, where the robbers
had tied their horses
The robbers had started out of town
when Mr.. Simpson got there, but he
succeeded in killing two of them by
shooting them through the head. A
third shot killed one of the robbers

fell to the ground. After killing two
of the robbers Mr.. Simpson continued
after the third one. taking several
shots at him, but without effect

spear of grass was burned off. This

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept S.-Col. I. w.
Avery, of this city, announced yesterday
the contamination of plans which may
have a most favorable influence in
building up a greater Kansas City.
He said that q southern company,
with which he is connected. has COM
pleted arrangements with Liverpool
shipping firms and that within three
weeks a feet of twenty-five vessels
would be employed in the conduct
of foreign trade directly be-
tween Liverpool and Port Royal,
S c., and brunswick. Ga 1T is
our purpose" he said, Ito reach out for
the foreign carrying trade of the west
and southwest All that territory is
tributary TO Kansas City and surveys
show the distances from Kansas City
to the various ports of the eastern sea-
boards to be in our favor. It is true
the southern and southwestern lines
have not the facilities of the great
northern trunk lines which now carry
the product of the west from Chicago
to the seaboard. Most of them
have but single track but
then their business is less. We
are seeking now from these southern
lines the establishment in conjunc-
ton with us Of a rate from Kansas City
to Liverpool which will do much to
turn the current of business our way.
The effect of the establishment of such
a rate would be to make Kansas City a
great depot of foreign trade. / am sat
isfed that we will secure material con-
cessions. Our GOATS will enter the for
eign trade within three weeks For
the present they will ply only between
Port Royal snd Liverpool, but we will
soon establish the additional line from

HOME RULE FAILS.
The English House of Lords Rejects tn
Bill by an Overwhelming Majority.

The English House OF Lords he1ects tno
Bill by an Overwhelming Majority.
LONDON, Sept 9.-The house of lords
was crowded when the earl of Gram
brook, conservative, resumed the de-
bate on the home rule bill The lord
high chancellor, Lord Herschell, dur
the course of his able plea for the bill,
asked if things were left alone, would
there be no danger from the American
sympathizers with the cause of Ire
land.
Lord Herschell admitted the difficulty
of framing a home rule measure which
would not be open to objection, but re-
minded his hearers they must not for
get that small number of men of
English blood framed the United States
constitution, which had stood the test
of a hundred years and which had
been the admiration of the world.
Surely" he continued, 1--WE are not
reduced to such state of impotence as
to be unable to improve the relations
existing between the Irish and the
English"
The house of lords presented brill
liant and most unprecedented spectacle
when Lord Salisbury rose to deliver the
last speech in opposition to the home
rule bill The house was filled in
every part with people anxious to hear
the decisions of the lords upon the
measure which had so long been de-
bated in and out of parliament
The earl of Kimberly, liberal, twice
secretary of state for the colonies, lord
president of the council, followed the
marquis of Salisbury, and spoke for
the bill, on behalf of the government,
but the earrs remarks failed to make
any decided impression upon his hear
ers.
At the close of his speech the divi-
sion was taken. The latter proceed
ing lasted over half an hour, and re-
suited in a vote of 419 against the bill
and Al in favor of it.
