PAY TRAIN WRECK
An Accident Happens
Near San ArdO.
Nobody Seriously Hurt-The Tramp
Problem Still Causing Railroad
officials Trouble.

An accident TO theipay-cars train yester-
day at San Ardo. on the Coast division of
the Southern Pacific Railroad, caused
rumor to gain currency that an attempt to
rob the train had been made by tramp
that they had placed distractions on a."
track, which had caused wreck in wbict
Paymaster Robinson had been fatally in
jured and several of the crew had been
more or less burt. Inquiry at the general
offices of the Southern Pacific, however,
showed that the rumor was without found
alton so far as a robbery was concerned,
as no attempt had been made in that
direction. But there was an accident. A
freight train was doing some work at the
station mentioned about o'clock yester-
day morning when the pay train came In
at a pretty rapid speed and dashed into
some of the cars comprising the former.
The engine of the latter was pretty badly
used up, in fact so much so that it was
necessary TO procure another to pull the
train further in its work of reDlen shing
the finances of the employees. Paymaster
Robinson, who was reported as badly in-
jured, suffered no further harm than a
severe shaking up, as did all the crew and
others on the train. Just who was to
blame for the accident the officials at
prepared to say yesterday.
The Erie road has Joined the Union
Pacific and Pennsylvania, and has given
the local passenger association the cust0m-
ary ten days notice of its intended with
drawal.
The Santa Fe has opened branch office
with the Wabash people and some OF the
boys along Montgomery street think there
is some kind OF a deal back of the move
The momentOuS tramp question still
fixes itself upon the attention OF the
Southern Pacific people Yesterday re-
ports of small gangs were received from
several quarters, but from Los Angeles
and Yuma came information OF more for
midable bodies. Fortunately the tide of
this travel seems to be setting in toward the
East, large majority of those reported be-
ing bound in that direction. From Los
Angeles the following dispatch was re-
ceived
Los ANGELES. November B.
Three hundred and fifty tramDs, mixture OF
men with money aud the dirtiest kind OF buns,
came In from the north yesterday and are on
No. 81 going East to-day. No. % now shows
up at Yuma with $50 to come West who re-
fuse to leave the tram. / have Instructed train
masters at Yuma TO call upon the authorities To
prevent tl1esr men riding on the trains. What
are your instructions regarding he matter?
The officers do not know what action to
take. They fear that a resort to force in
removing this class of travellers from the
cars NAV result in some overt act which
would destroy the cOmpany's property anu
possibly cause loss of life. Some definite
plan of action will doubtless be mapped
out to-day and placed in operation.

Pension Frauds Unesrthed.

A. d. Albert, the Supervising Pen
sion Examiner for the Southern dis
trict, has made report 10 Commits
sioner Lochren as TO the progress
made in the investigation of pension
frauds at Norfolk, Va. The investi-
CATION was begun May 6 last, and up
to this time - arrests have been
made for violations of the pension
laws. Before the investigation Is
concluded some time next month it is
expected that fully % additional ar
rests will be made.
The report shows violations of
nearly all the pension laws and in
clude perjury, making false claims,
false certificates and affidavits. and
taking illegal fees. The principal Of
fender is said to be w. Il. Drury, n
pension attorney at Norfolk who pro
cured large portion of the apPlica-
tions for that section upon false evi-
dence. Drury is now serving term
Of one year in the Norfolk city Jail
for making false claim for pension.
His term will expire next December,
when he will be Immediately rearrest-
ed and tried upon several other Sc
riOus charges.
A calculation made upon the basis
of 1877 cases recommended to be
dropped from the pension rolls, shows
that fraudulent pensions granted TO
Norfolk claimants under the act OF
June 81, 1890, aggregate S54,074. Nor
folk county claims not allowed and
pending, have been recommended for
rejection, amounting to about $780,
000 1t is understood that gross frauds
on a large scale have been perpe-
trated in other sections of the coun-
try where investigations will sooL be
ordered

MIR. Wilson's Views on Finance.

The Wheeling Register of recent date
contained the following interview
with Congressman Wilson by Its
Washington correspondent:
Representative William l.. Wilson,
who is again in the city, said to-day
he felt increasing confidence that
Congress at the coming extra session
would repeal the Sherman silver law.
This would not be done, however,
Internationally. Some other meas
ure would have TO be enacted IN or
der to give the country an increased
volume of currency. Most OF the
southern members and Senators We're
in favor of free silver coinage because
their section especially thought more
money was needed TO carry on buSl-
ness, but if they could get this III,
crease in currency by another method
than the free coinage of silver Mr..
Wilson thought they would be salts
fed.
A method that had been suggested
as likely to produce the desired result
was the repeal of the 10 per cent tax
on the circulation ofi State banks.
He believed that if this went hand in
hand with the repeal Of the Sherman
law it would be generally acceptable.
Continuing, Mr.. Wilson said:
Il do not believe it would be a dan
gerous experiment to again start
State banks. They would not be like
the wild cat institutions before the
war. Their notes would not be u
legal tender, and no one would be
compelled to accept them unless they
so desired. The volume of the circu-
lating medium throughout the coun-
try would, however, be largely in
creased -

An Insane Mothers Awful Act.

A terrible tragedy, the most horri-
BILE that ever took place in Wood coun-
ty. occurred last week at Pleasant
Hill. a thrifty settlement about six
teen miles from ParkersbUrg, in Wal
ker district. AT that place there lived
Philip Kirsch with his family, con
sjsting of a wife and six children, the
eldest of whom is girl about sixteen
years of age, the Youngest babe OF
ten months. Mrs. kirsch had been
i'll for long time, suffering from
mental depression and nervous dlsor-
ders. She had been under the treat
ment Of competent physician and 1t
was thought she was improving III
health.
Tuesday her husband was at a barn
raising at a IsighbOr's about mile
and a-ha!f distant. The two elder
bows were engaged in the corn field
and the eldest daughter, Mollie, was
washing clothes in the yard. At din
ner time the boys came to the house
and sat down to their noon meal, the
daughter continuing at her work and
not then coming into the house. Mol
lie did not observe her mother until
she came up and said Il have poi
soned John and Fred, and thrown my
babies in the well. Now come, Mol
lie, and die with me- At the same
time the mother laid hold OF the girl
and tried TO throw her into the well
also. The daughter fought with all
her power, and the well curb being
about two feet high she was able to
keep herself from being thrown in.
At this moment a younger child, eight
wears old, appeared, and the mother
abandoned the effort to throw MolIle
i'm the we'll and caught the younger
child. The daughter fought with
desperation and almost superhuman
strength to release the younger child,
and finally succeeded in releasing him
from his maniac mothers grasp, and
then told him TO run for his life TO an
uncle's house, near by.
The mother then started to throw
herself into the well, where the two
Younger children had already been
drowned. Mollie caught her mother
and screamed for her brothers to
come TO her aid They arose from
the table and started out, but one of
them fell dead before he got to the
door, and the other, just rs he reached
the doorway, pitched headlong to the
ground, a corpse.
In the meantime the daughter was
engaged in desperate struggle to
prevent her mother from throwing
herself into the we'll She fought
with courage and heroic strength and
tore almost all the clothing from her
body. but her efforts were unsuccess-
full, and at last the mother pitched
headlong into the well and was
drowned.
The poison given the boys was
strychnine mixed with the butter that
the mother had spread on her boys
bread at their dinner. One piece OF
bread so spread was lying beside the
plate set for one of the boys only part-
iy eaten. Whether he was taken sick
before it was all eaten or whether 1t
was laid aside when the sister
screamed for help from the outside OF
the house will never be known.
In brief time the neighborS as
sernbled and the three bodies were
taken from the we'll and the coroner
notified. Justice of the Peace De-
vaughn, of Walker district, held the
inquest, and his finding wasin accord
ance with the facts above stated.
