HOW B1ooDsHED was AVERTED.
A Terrible Massacre in Kansas Saved by
the Action OF One Man.


TOPEKA, KAs., Feb. 2O.-A special
from Topeka, Kas., says: The real facts
as to how bloodshed was avoided in
Kansas are now coming to light, and it
develops that it was q much closer call
than most people are aware Of, as Coy
ernor Lewelling retracted his signature
to tho peace measures within twenty
minutes after he had signed them.
Upon hearing Of his intentions Mr..
Cubbison, of Wyandotte, went to him
and said Governor, do l understand
that you wish to take your name from
this paper"
The governor answered that he had
signed it under duress and under mis-
taken ideas. Doster Is said to have been
with him and told him that the Popu.
lists would never forgive him, and pos
sibly no would not escape serious
trouble, so he decided to withdraw from
the agreement.
Mr.. Gubbison then said to him:
Governor, il you withhold your sign
aturo from the paper there will be one
thousand men killed within twenty
minutes and you will he one Of them.
The house Is ready to fight for its rights,
1t will tolerate imprisonment no longer.
1t has been hard to hold the membera
back. The sergeants-at-arms are ready
and well armed, and the sheriff cannot
control his men ON the outside mitch
longer. The fight will begin as soon as
you say 30, and it will begin in this cor.
ridor in front Of your Office. Think
what you are doing" Governor Level
ling reached out his hand aud said:
"Glvo me the paper. Let 1t stand"
This alone averted war

How 1t Came About-Not Enough Capital
to Work On.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 20.-A re-
porter saw President Mcleod at hts
hotel this evening and was asked, for a
statement regarding the Reading
dilemma. He replied:
lam very sorry that We were driven
to the necessity Of a receivership, but
it was tho only thing to do. l want
to say that we have coal on hand now
worth more than enough to pay our
floating obligations and there will be no
trouble in carrying on the company's
finances now. The trouble was brought
about by the fact that we were doing
an enormous business on small capital,
and when this attack was made on US
it hurt our credit, 80 that we could not
borrow money"

over for selling Beer.
CHARLESTON, July 19.-The postponed
Vincent Chicco. for the al
lcging illegal sale of Intoxicating liquor
in violation OF the dispcnsary law came
up before Judge Milan yesterday. The
State had issued second warrant in
which Sanders, who acted as Chicco's
agent, included. Both warrants were
before court Tuesday, the first alleging
the sale OF three glasses of beer to Con
stables Jolley and Chappcll.
The only witness heard was Constable
Jolly, who swore that he bought beer
July 1th from Chicco once only, and in
the presence of Chappell. He affirmed
that he never purchased any on that
day in the presence of Pepper. Lawyer
Bissell argued that the first warrant
only was before the court and that
Jolly's testimony proved it to be false.
He asked for the dismissal of his client
OH that warrant. Justice Milan con-
suited Solicitor Jcrvcy and decided that
inasmuch as the sale of the liquor was a
material point and not to whom it was
sold. Chicco will be bound over to the
first warrant and that the second lie
dormant. This was done. Lawer Bis
sell threatens to begin habeas corpus
proceedings upon his evidence.
While the community is in favor of the
enforcement OF the law, there is deep in
dignation at the outrageous conduct o
coDstablcs on Saturday. Hoyne Pepper
the constable who tried to shoot Chiccc
on Saturday in trial Justices Office, ha:
been bound over In the sum of $500 fol

aud battery with intent to kill.

MANCHESTER. N. H., July 19.-Notices

THE VICTORIA COLLISION.
The Maneuver That TryOm Or
dered Was I'm Mpractible.

VALLETA, Malta, July 19.-Thc first
witness today before the Victoria court
martial was Rear Admiral Markham,
whose flag was flying on the Camper
down at the time she ran into and sunk
the Victoria. When questioned as to
the impression made upon him when the
signal of Vice Admiral Trvon was hoisted
on the Victoria ordering that the dis
tancc between the two columns be six
cable lengths. Rear Admiral Markham
replied that when the signal was read
he said to his flag lieutenant that the
movement was impossible, since it was
an impracticable mancuver.
The Rear Admiral then reported the
story of the signals as contained in his
dispatches to the admiralty. He said
that when he signaled to the Victoria
that he did not quite understand the
signal the Victoria answered that the
Camperdown was delaying the maneu-
yer. 1t then occurred to the witness
that he was to put the helm of the Cam
perdown down and turn her 16 points
to starboard, while the Victoria would
ease her helm and circle around outside
of the division which was being led by
the Camperdown.

U. S. District Attorney X. b. Glenn,

have talk with Collector Elias. He
mentioned a couple of his friends to the
Collector. who gave the Attorney nice
new pencil with which to make notc''
of few things the Collector told him.
The pencil was accepted without for
NAL speech, but Mr.. Glenn remarked that
presents of this kind were duly appre-
ciated and proceeded to make note.
Mr.. Glenn looks as vigorous as ever. and
seems hardy enough to meet half dozen
Maryann Buffers on the stump il
necessary.
Collector Elias recently asked Commits
sioner Miller about the increase in the
number of division deputies. The Com
missioner replies that for the present the
increase cannot be allowed.

rOWlY AYeraed.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 19.-An cxCur-
sion train carrying the Sunday schools
of Bethany and Bethlehem churches of
Buffalo, on the Western New York and
Pennsylvania railroad, was wrecked at
East Aurora at 7:3O last night. One
man was fatally injurcu md perhaps
20 persons were more or less seriously
hurt. The two engines were crushed into
masses of twisted steel and, lying in the
bottom OF a turntable, were covcre-
with the timbers, glass and iron of the
first two coaches. These conches were
filled with cxcursionists, and that they
escaped with no more serious injury is
almost miracle.
AS near as can be learned the accident
was due to carelessncss. The evening
local train from Buffalo to East Aurora
has just pulled into the station where 1t
stopped. Engineer Holland had taken
his locomotive to a turntable, prepara-
tory to heading it towards the city for
thc morning trip. The switch was left
open, as the engineer intended taking
his engine out on the main track and
back to siding for the night. Just be-
yond the turntable is a sharp curve and
beyond that the track rises on heavy
grade. The engineer of the incoming
train saw the danger, but too late to
stop the train. and it piled into the pit
on top of the engine already upon the
table. The baggage car and first two
coaches are a complete wreck.
The scene in the wrecked coaches was
almost indescribable, women and chill
dren being thro wu under and over seats
| and through windows, cut with flying
| splinters, their limbs broken and bruised.
The cars took fire, but the additional
| horror was ayerted by the prompt action
of the village fire department. Citizens
rushed to the rescue and doctors were
summoned from this city. The injured
were speedily relieved and all possible
attention was given to them.

In Colorado.

PUEBLO, Col, July 19.-The more con-
servative clement of the people of Color
ado realize that the silver convention
held at Denver the first of the week ac-
compGshed nothing toward the purpose
for which it assembled. A proposition
is on foot to call another convention,
which shall aim at the pockets rather
than the sympathics of those whom it is
hoped to convert to the ideas of the
west.
The proposed convention is to be COM
posed of business men, and the direct
object which is sought is a combination
among the merchants with the intention
of diverting the trade of Colorado and
adjacent states from the wholesale trade
of the east to that of the south.

How TO HDascrimlnale.::

New YORK, July 19.-Comptrollcr of
the Treasury James H. Eckles was the
guest of his predecessor. ex-Comptroller
A. B. Hepburn, at dinner at the Union
League club last evening.
In the course OF his spcach, on being
toasted, Mr.. Ecklcs said:
ut is not the time of the panic because
We have passed t,ic period in our his
tory when panic is possibility, but it is
one of slow liquidation, the result of un-
due speculation and unwisc financial
legislation. Nothing is to be gained by
taking on fright that is unwarranted by
either the immediate past or immediate
future. What tho American people ought
to do in the midst Of the failures that
have occurred is not to give way to the
uncallcd for alarm but to study The char
acter of the institutions which
have failed. the causes which
have produced them and the
localities in which they have oc-
Cured. After such study. let them view
the solvent instit utions everywhere about
them and the conclusion that must ir-
rcsistibly follow is that the legitimate
life Of he country is not threatened, but
instead will come out of the present tur-
moil the stronger tor having passed
through it. In the conservative business
centres failures have been few either in
banking or other lines.
Bad banking at any and all times is
dangerous and must eventually bring
distrust upon those who engage in it.
The present stringency has simply has
tened the closing of some banks because
they were inherently weak; others have
closed as the resultant effect of having
kept alive the operations of spectators
in the extreme West and in portions of
the South. The art has not as yet been
discovered of making something out OF
nothing. and the financicr who stakes
his all upon an unbuilt city, reaching
out into the waste places of tho Garth.
must bring about the ruin of his own and
kindred institutions which have trusted
In him and pinned their faith to assets
yet unborn. The disasters have fallen
upon the speculative institutions in the
boom cities of the States of Washington,
California, Colorado. Kansas and Mis-
souri, which have in turn I'M urcd solvent
ones, but the States of New England and
East and Middle States and those OF the
Northwest, not less than of the South,
have thus far escaped, and will because

buildcd is Of rock and not of sand"
