CHICAGO, Oct. ia serious wreck
is reported on the Illinois Central, near
Kankakee. Seven people are said to be
killed and number of others seriously
injured. The Inter Oceans special from
Kankakes says: Another horrible
wreck occurred at midnight on the Ill
nois Central railroad, at Otto Junction,
four miles south Of Kankakee, in which
it is reported seven persons we're killed
and about as many badly injured. A
fast mail, north-bound. crashed into a
freight as the latter was rounding the
Y from the Kankakee and Western rail-
road, preparatory to coming to this city
on the main line OF the Illinois Central.
The only information obtsinable at
this hour is given above. A Texas
sleeper was on the train, and 1T Is
thought the dead and wounded are in
that. The place where the wreck oc-
Cured is desolate locality.
At 2 O'Clock relief train with a
wrecking crew and physicians were sent
out from Kankakee. A misplaced
switch is said to have been the cause Of
the wreck. The wrecked train consisted
of mail car with four clerks, bag
gage car, two day coaches and the Texas
sleeper. The Illinois Central officials
refuse to give any information what
ever.
.Later-It is now said the wreck is not
as serious as at first reported, it being
rumored that eight people we're injured
and none killed outright. Three of the
most seriously injured are being cared
for at Kankakee, while the others are
being brought to Chicago on a special
train.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.--The Pacific
Coast Steamship company received in
formation today thar the last of the
treasure that went pown in the wreck OF
the steamer Newbern had been recov-
cred by divers, and would be forwarded
to this city on the Coos Bay. In con-
nection with the wreck OF the Newbern
the customary investigatioH promises to
endanger Captain Won HelA' certificate
and license. Besides the pfopoaition o.
vesdg
60 far ont OF her course on dangerous
coast, there have been statements made
by some OF the passengers that will be
likely to force the captain to defend the
charge that he did not even have a
thick fog as an excuse. The passengers
do not know what sort of weather the
Newbern was steaming through just
prior to striking the rocks, but num-
ber of them are unhesitating in declar-
ing that the shore line was plainly visi-
BILE when on deck, and that the fog was
not thick enough to interfere with vision
for considerable additional distance.

A LOG IN THE COFFIN.
DIR. It. THATCHER GRAVES NOT
IN HIS GRAVE.
A Dummy Buried In His Place and He
Alive and Hiding in q Foreign
Country-A Sensational
Story.

DENVER, Oct. 19.-Tbe News publishes
a sensational story to the effect that DIR.
I. Thatcher Graves, the famous poisoner.
who was supposed to have shielded in
jail, ia not dead. 1t is maintained that
pine log occupied the coffin instead of
the body. The story is given on the
authority of Charles N. Chaldler, a
wealthy citizen of Thompson Center,
Conn, Graves' old home, and where the
body was supposed to have been buried
Chaldler and fellow townsmsn, Steph.
en- Morse, are now here. They declare
the coffin was opened at the grave
against the protests Of the widow,
and found to contain pine log, and
that the supposed dead doctor is now
enjoying his freedom in foreign coun-
try.
The rumor has been current here
some time that the body carried from
the county jail was really wax; that
among the parties to the deception were
some high officials and secret organic
alton. This rumor is strengthened by
the refusal to allow she remains to be
viewed, except by the most intimate
friends, and by the further fact that the
widow refused to allow the remains to
be enbalmed.
PROVIDENCE. r. l., Oct. 19.-The story
from Denver about log instead OF a
body in DIR. Graves coffin has been rife
here for several days, but no attention
was paid to it. So far as could be gath
cred from what occurred at the grave on
Tuesday the coffin contained the body
of the unfortunate man.
