A dispatch from Houston, Texas
October 10th says: Southern Pacific
officials are considerably excited
over the news received from points
along the line concerning the cap
ture of one of their freight trains at
Delrio by band Of sixty-five armed
men, who claim to be miners from
California and New Mexico. The
men say they are driven to desper-
alton by the delay in the Senate in
settling the silver question, so bus
mess may be resumed in the silver
producing states and they propose
going to Alabama to take the places
of the striking miners, as it is now
work or starvation with them. They
are running the train on their own
schedule, and the dispatchers are
puzzled in order to avoid collision
with the regular trains. They stop
at different towns and levy a tribute
Of provisions, but SO far have COM
nitted no other depredations.
They are we'll armed, and the off.
GERS dare not attack them, unless
they can muster large posse,
which cannot be done except in
large cities. It is expected they
will abandon the train near the end
Of division, 60 around the city
and BY capturing other trains pro
coed on their journey.

50 restored thereby that it would
again be in demand in other coun-
tries for money purposes.
1.-The failure Of the Bland Allison
law and the Sherman act to fix the
price Of silver is no criterion of the
effect a free coinage law would have,
for neither of these laws was intend
ed to accomplish this result. On
the contrary, they have both treated
silver as commodity to be meas
ured, like other commodities, by a
gold standard. They have created
a certain demand for silver. and to
this extent have benefited the own
ers Of silver mines; but they have
done nothing to stop that steady
appreciation of gold that has
brought disaster 70 all kinds Of
values. Nothing short of law that
involves the principle Of free coin
age and makes silver full legal ten
der will accomplish this"

THE havoc made by the dreadfl

THE havoc made by the dreadful
wind storm which swept over the
districts of Louisiana in the vicinity
of New Orleans last Sunday is un-
paralleled in the history of the
South. The details of horror nearly
equal the great Johnstown food. 1t
is estimated that 1000 lives were
lost and 100000 worth of prop
erty destroyed. Dead bodies are
floating on every side in the turbid
waters Of the bayous. Collins are
out of the question, and the uniden-
titled are buried in trenches. Sub
scriptions for the suffering victims
of the frightful storm are coming
in from all parts of the country.

ITS TENTH BIRTHDAY.
Traffic Over Brooklyn Bridge During
the First Decade.

The tenth anniversary Of the opening of
the New York and Brooklyn Bridge was cele-
brated by display of flags On the lofty sum-
mits of the towers in commemoration of the
date which marked the initial use of the sus
pended highway linking the two great cities,
both Of which have nearly doubled In size
since it was completed.
The receipts Of the bridge in the ten years
from all sources have been about $40, 900 900,
and the traffic has far surpassed the calcua-
tons Of the engineers and projectors of the
enterprise. The first cost of the bridge was
S15, 200, 900, and some 5000, 900 has since
been expended upon it. One-half of the re-
ceipts of $40, 200, 600 has been spent on the
maintenance of the structure and the other
half on improvements.
In round figures $50, OO0. 900 passengers
have been carried on the Bridge cars, the
number increasing from 5000, 900 in 1884 to
more than &C, 600, 900 last year. Before 1891,
when the promenade was made free, only
5000, 900 foot passengers had crossed the
Bridge. Since then, although 10 record Is
kept, 1t Is estimated that more than *, OOO, 600
have walked across. From roadway tolls,
now only half what they formerly were, $780,
900 year Is received From car fares more
than 81 $50 900 was received last year.
By improvements soon to be made in the
terminal facilities. with new tracks and plat
forms, 1t is calculated the passenger traffic OF
the Bridge viii be nearly doubled.

Men and Animals Mixed in the Debris
of the Cars

Five men were killed and ten injured in a
wreck which befell Walter Main circus train
on the Tyrone and Clearfield branch of the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Vail Station, about
five miles north of Tyrone Penn. at half-past
five in the morning.
The circus was en- route to LewistOwn from
Houtzdaie. The engineer lost control of the
train when going down the mountain and
jumped the track when going at speed of
forty miles an hour, throwing thirteen cars
over a thirty foot embankment.
Three sleepers used for travelling coaches
by the performers and leading members Of
the organization remained on the rails. Every
other car, cage and wagon was utterly de-
molshed and mixed up in a tangle. The
screams of the wounded men, the hideous
cries of the injured and terror-crazed animals
arose in chorus into the night.
From the menagerie section the lions,
tigers, leopards, hyenas, wildcats, wolves
and other animals were liberated and soon
scattered to the cover OF the woods. There
were IT'S persons with the circus and 173
horses. The bodies of the dead men and
those severely wounded were first taken out
Of the wreck.
AS soon as the injured and killed were
cared for the living started out to capture the
escaped animals. The elephants made little
trouble, but the members of the big cat fam
lily were out for liberty or blood. In the cap
ture of some ofthe smaller brutes, several of
stripped off, and were clawed and bitten.
Several of the larger animals refused to be
taken alive, and having tasted the fruits of
freedom and of some Of the farmers live
stock in that vicinity, had to be killed.
One of the tigers killed valuable Jersey
COW under the owners eyes. man named
Thomas, who put two rifle bullets into the
tiger, which died from their effects soon
afterWard.
The entire hunting population Of the sur
rounding country turned out for the chase,
armed with Winchester shotguns, revolvers,
and even Floberts. In several instances the
recaptured animals were tethered securely to
the trees. while the hunters kept up their pur-
suit.
Two injured sacred oxen were killed to but
them out Of their misery.
Three lions escaped one was captured i'm
mediately, another was lassoed and tied to
tree. The other lion remained at large.
A tiger, water buffalo, hyena bear, alliga-.
tors. and a large collection of snakes got
away, but were captured. The elephants and
camels were uninjured.
Almost every ring horse was killed. The
total number of horses killed was forty-nine,
with all the others cut and bruised.
The circus is complete wreck. The loss
is estimated at $1C0, 600

THREE WE'RE DROWNED.
Melancholy End of a Boating Trip of
Seven Young Boys.

Three boys were drowned in the East River
off the Cob Dock of the Navy Yard, Brook
Ign, N. Y. There were seven boys whose
ages ranged from ten 30 fourteen years, in a
small rowboat, which was capsized by the
swell of a passing vessel, and all were thrown
into the water. Four were picked up by the
crew of a tug, but the others sank before aid
could be given to them. The craft was an
ordinary working boat, and sufficiently large
for the four boys who hired it, but they took
it to Bridge street, and there more got into
it, loading it nearly to the waters edge.
The tug o. P. Coffin, towing number of
canalboats, came down the river, and the
swell caused by it served to swamp the over
loaded rowboat, and it turned on one side,
throwing all the boys into the water. The
crew of the tugboat Mead, which was going
up the river, threw lines to the boys and sue
ceeded in saving four of them. Their COM
paniohs were not SO fortunate as to escape
and sank before they could reach the ropes
cast to them, They were Frederick McGib-
eney, fourteen years; Joseph Gilinskey,
twelve years. and Thomas O'Brien, twelve
years old, all of Brooklyn. Their bodies were
swept away by the tide and no trace of them
could be found.

Charles Foster, Secretary of the Treasury

In Congress, Ex-Governor Of Ohio and one of
the leading Republican politicians in the
State and Nation surprised his neighbors at
Fostoria, Ohio, by announcing that his finan-
c1al affairs we're in tangled condition and
that he had made an assignment. Mr.. Eos
ter says his liabilities are $500. 900 and that
his assets will reach that figure.
He made the assignment during the night,
and the papers were filed at Tiff1n by Mr..
Scott, his attorney. 1t was then believed
that he would not be able to more than pay
his debts
Early in the morning the bank of Foster &
Co. was closed on an attachment of 5000 in
favor of Isaac Harter Milling Company, and
the wholesale grocery house of Davis Il Fos-
ter was closed by an attachment for $1,000 In
favor of o. 7. Brown.
