BELGIAN ELECTIONS.

First Trial of the Compulsory System OF
Voting.
BRUSSELS, Oct 14.-Elections OF Nom.
bers of the chamber of deputies were
held throughout Belgium today. The
voting was under the new compulsory
system, which provides sewers penalties
for non.voters. The electors were in
three classes, as follows: One-year resi-
dents over 25 years OF age, who we're en-
widowers OF family who pay personal
taxes OF francs to the state, who had
three votes, and priests and others OF
position and education. who had three
votes.
The Clerical party, under this system,
had great voting strength. Tho Social.
lists made strong fight ss an indepen.
dent party, The Liberals are divided
and are likely to show badly in this
places where the Clericals and Socialists
are in force.
The elections were orderly except az
Alosts, in East Flanders, where colli-
sions occurred betweed the supporters
Abbe Daens, Christian Socialists, anc
M. Woeste, the Clerical leader, who
few days ago was stoned by mob snc
forced to fee for his life.
The counting of votes is a slow pro-
cess. Returns from the Brussels district
show that the Liberals and Clericala ran
closey, and new ballots will probably
be necessary. In Chsrleroi and Liege,
mining and manufacturing centers, the
Radicals and Socialists were also ahead.
having defeated many liberal candi-
dates. including Freere Johan. the Mod
erate-Liberal leader. M. De Bruyan,
minister OF public works and agricul.
ture, has been elected in Fermonfe.
The Catholic candidates have been re-
elected in all the Flemish towns. with
large msjorities. AS far as ascertained
at this hour, it appears the first trial OF
the new system has resulted in a severe
check Of the Moderate Liberals. to the
benefit of the Clericals and Socialists.
The Clericals will remain the govern
ment party. having opposed to them
divided minority of Liberals and
Socialists.

occurred this morning at the crossing oil
the Louisville and Nashville and the
Northeastern railway, about two miles
from where the Louisville and Nashville
road leaves Elysian Fields street, an
accident that will in all probability re-
suit in at least one fatality, while score
of passengers on the Louisville and
Nashville received severe injuries.
The Louisville and Nashville "across
the lake" excursion train, consisting of
eight coaches, we'll loaded with pleasure
seekers, large portion Of them being
women and children, pulled out on time.
AS the train approached the crossing OF
the Northeastern tracks, Engineer Han
Icy brought. his train to a stop and
whistled as the law requires. He then
gave the signal to go ahead and pro-
ceeded across the track of the North
eastern.
The East Louisiana train carrying ex-
cursionists to points in South Tammany
parish, was booming along its tracks,
and, with shrill shriek from its whistle
for down breaks, it crashed into the
sixth coach OF the L. & N. train. The
collision threw the crowded coach COM
pletely into the ditch. while the attack.
ing engine was derailed and buried its
nose several feet in the mud.
The passengers OF the East Louisiana
train were uninjured, except from the
shock. Not so with the coast excursion,
however. Just before the iron monster
struck the coach several of tho passen-
gers saw it coming, and panic ensued.
There was q wild rueh 10 escape from the
doomed coach, but before the passengers
could reach the platforms, the approach
ing engine had struck and the coach,
with it living freight. was hurled
fromsRthe tracks into the ditch:
womon and children shrieked in terror,
while men fought their way blindly for
some escape from the coach. Seats
were torn up and hurled in every di-
rection by the force Of the collision, and,
after the first wild panic had aubsided,
there were heard piteous means from
different quarters OF the wreck, telling
of painful injuries. Willing hands went
to work and within short time the
wounded had been taken from the coach
and made as comfortable as possible.
The greatest indignation and anger
prevailed among the witnesses of the
collision against the engineer. who dis
regarded the law requiring him to stop
and had caused the frightful accident.
Inquiry developed the fact that Simpson
had escaped to tine swamps. A section
hand on his car brought the news Of the
collision to the city. and the Northeast-
ern officials dispatched q special train to
convey the injured to the city.
Following ia q list of the victims:
Robert Carey, sugar broker, left leg
broken and head cut.
r. III. Holmes, left leg and arm
broken.
A. q. Whillow, left knee and hip
hurt.
Mrs. Julia Muir, left leg and ankle in.
jured and severe scalp wound.
Andrew Lee, confusion of the neck.
s. G. Courtney, head slightly injured.

FALL LYNCHING BEES.
ANOTHER INFORMAL HANGING IN
KENTUCKY.
Promiusnt Citizen of Powell County
Swung on for Killing Two Mon
In Less Than Two
Months.

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 14,-Another
lynching has been added to the unusual
ly large fall series OF Blue Grass lynching
bees. Yesterday at the close OF the
Beettyville fair, Oscar Morton, prom
inent citizen of Powell county. went on
the warpath. Two weeks ago Morton
killed q man at Stanton, and was out or
y9SssH. yy9SUH ponds. Hs arfived at the fail
to get drunk. When thoroughly intox.
icated, he started to hunt for Sheriff
Simms, who was his deadly enemy, a
feud OF long standing having existed
between the two. Simms and Morton
met near the entrance to tie fair
grounds, and alter few words both
drew guns. A quick exchange OF shots
followed, Morton using two guns. III 8
first shot broke the sheriff's right arm
at the elbow. John Hogg, friend If
Simms, whipped out his gun and joined
in the battle. When the smoke had
cleared away, 1t was found that s ms
wss dead, having been shot through his
breast, in the abdomen and through the
arm. Morton wss shot through the
neck, while Hogg was uhurt. Morton
was hustled to the county jail, and
placed under guard.
The people became infuriated and q
big meeting was at once held on the
public square. Col. John Drummond
mounted box and made speech. He
said the murderer mu8t be hanged. but
that the work must be done quietly and
with perfect order. Morton had killed
two men in less than two months and
ne must die by the rope.
A mob was quickly formed and
marched to the Jail. The jailor was
overpowered and the keys to Morton's
cell obtained. He was found crouched
on the floor, and after bitter struggle.
was seized and dragged out. Seeing his
game WAS up. Morton made the beat OF
the thing and told the mob that he did
not care what they did with him, pro-
vided they did their work quickly.
After q short parley he was taken to
a little bridge some distance from town
and the rope was placed around his
neck. The leaders drew their guns and
told him to jump or else he would be
riddled with bullets. Turning around,
the doomed man cursed his captors and,
uttering wild imprecations, leaped into
space. The jump broke his neck. At
ter dangling in the air for some minutes
his body became stiff, and volley of
bullets were fred into it. The mob
then dispersed, leaving the body dang
ling from The bridge. At noon today it
Was still there.
None of the mob made any attempt
to conceal their identity, aud the hang
ing was conducted with as much formal
ity as II it had been legal affair. The
murderer was a wealthy man, who lived
at Stanton.

LONDON, Oct. 14.-A dispatch from
Shanghai. dated today, confirms the
report telegraphed to the Associated
Press that q rebellion has broken out
100 miles from Hankow. The rebels are
fairly armed and very reckless. They
attacked the government buildings,
which were feebly defended by loyal
troops. The latter were soon defeated
and many of them were killed, many
others Joined the rebels. Two mandarins
were killed. The province is almost de-
nuded OF troops and the rebels are
daily gathering strength. 1t is expected
that they will advance on Woo Chang,
province OF Hoo Pc, of which Hankow IL
the capital. The garrison at Woo Chang
has gone to the west, and the place IL
therefore practically defenseless.
A dispatch to the Times from Berlin
SAYS that Germany's refusal to interfere
in the Chinese-J Japanese trouble does
not affect the question OF the protection
to Europeans in China. in which she
will cooperate. The German COM
mander in Chinese waters has already
marines to protect the legation in Pekin.
