A Broken Rail Throws the Train
 From a Bridge to the River Many
 Feet .ReIow-Every Passenger In-
 jured-A Second Accident Narrowly
 Averted.
 PERU, Ind Jan. 20.-The north bound express from Chicago on the Lake Erie and Western railroad, due at Peru at 1:58 e. m was badly wrecked about one mile south of this city. Among the fifteen pas sepgers on board the train not one escaped injury. The entire train consisting of en- zine, smoking, express and chair car were precipitated on the ice of the river, thirty five feet below. A broken rail about one hundred feet from the river threw the train from the track and the train continued on the ties until reaching the bridge, when the first two ties gave way and the entire train went down. The engine stood ups right and the cars covered 1t with its wreck age of three cars. The fireman jumped, but Engineer Griffin was pinned in his cab and taken out severely scalded. The wreck took fire and was burned completely. Brakeman Richard Neff was badly hurt, but pulled himself out of the wreck. lighted his lantern and ran back and fsgged freight train which was following. It was stopped only about one hundred feet from the wreck and another horrible wreck was avsrted. It is miraculous that no more persons were killed. as the cars were hurled over stones and not a splinter of wood was saved from the flames. The list of killed and injured is:
 George C.Dorland of Lsporte, Ind. killed by his back being broken. Injured-Mrs. Rilla Raber, seriously injured about the head and back; Henry Griffin. engineer, very seriously scalded, beside other inju- ries, and life despaired of; Fred Fobes, conductor, very severely in- iured around head and hips.

Marked Decline in Volume of Ex-
 Ports-Increased Imports-Efect or
 Bills Pending in Congress.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 20 R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says: Severe weather appears to account In part for a somewhat general shrinkags in business, in many branches checking purch sses and In others output or deliveries. Yet owing to the game influence stocks of win ter goods have been extensively cleared of, and resulting orders for spring goods have been more liberal. The volume of domestic trade continues larger than last year, but exports are decidedly smaller, from New York in three weeks of January SS, 592, ,S6l below the same weeks last year. As imports are meanwhile very heavy, for two weeks of January sS,919, 13o more than last year, the prospect of further gold exports causes no surprise. There Is much hecitation regarding the action of congress on various measures, and the uncertainty about the sil- yer purchase repeal, the prospects of the anti-option bili. and the defeat of the pooling amendment of the interstate com merce act, all influenced the markets and trades to some extent. There is also a somewhat general increase in complaints about collections, although money st nearly all markets Is comparatively easy, and in supply adequate for legitimate demands.
 At Boston the dry goods trade is excel lent, western stocks being low. Cottons are sold far ahead, the demand exceeding the supply, and woolen mills are fully em- ployed, with the best prospects. Trade in hoots and shoes is very satisfactory, leather Is active and firm, the rubber works are full, and sales of wool unusually large, |, ,2S3, 600 pounds with prices tending up

EXCITES REPRESENTATION.
 Herz-Causes of the Doctors Illness
 The Arton Checks.
 PARIS, Jan. 20.-The sole topic of con- versstion in the chamber Hobbies and the cafes this evening has been the arrest of Cornelius HeIz. The prospect of his re- turn to France and the possibility that he will reveal the evidence which he holds against conspicuous politicians and fnan- ciers have excited general apprehension. Outside of royslist and socialist circles the arrest Is regarded with feeling closely akin to panic. The gravest fears exist on account of the senate, whose members are believed to be threatened more seri- ously than all others through Hsrz's re- turn. Everybody feels that the worst will be ont as soon as Herr shall come before the examining magistrate.
 The police have secured all of Herz's ef- fects. The medical certificate given to day by the doctor summoned by the detectives of the heart, diabetes, great prostrstion and functional Arrangement"
 There are three indictments in the Her1 case. The first concerns the 600, ,000 francs received by him from Charles de Lesseps; the second, the 2,000, 900 from Baron de Reinacb; the third, the menscing letters written by him with the intention of black mailing Baron de Reinach.
 The total number of Arton check foils Is now known to be 1.0l0. Of this num- Der probably the majority are excluded from legal consideration by the statute of limitations, as the checks were drawn be- fore 1885. The preliminary parliamentary commission may examine the stubs of these checks, but the judges are bound to ignore them. Ths most important of the checks in question, however, were drawn in 1887 and 1888, for the benefit of depu- ties, theatrical beauties and other pro- fessional persons, mostly women and newspaper men. The whole sum involved by these stubs Is some six million francs.

Plans Of the Boston and Maine for
 a Union Station do Not Meet the
 Approval of the State Railroad
 Commissioners. -a.rr'
 Bosros, Jan. 20.-The annual report of the state railroad commissioners was sub mitted to the legislature this afternoon. In 1t they say the plan of the Boston and Maine road for consolidating Its interests in a union station would be but @ partial and temporary cure of the defects of the existing terminal system, and fails to meet the pressing necessities of the present and far less to provide for those of the future. Of all the roads the New York and New England stands first in the improved brake equipment. The total number of personal injuries during the year was l, ,072, being 24S more than for the preceding year. Of these 12S were to passengers, 624 to em- ployes, 91 to persons at grade crossings or stations and 299 to trespsssers. The total earnings from operation of the roads were $64. 143, 2S6, an increase of 2,660, ,1s2 over 1891; amount applicable to dividends $l0,- 16S, ,030, increase $5SS. 223.
