DISASTROUS WRECK.

A Freight Train Breaks In Two and Comes
Together Again-A Colored Tramp Loses
His Life and Three Others Riding With
Him Are Missing.
BUCYRUs, o., Aug. AT an early
hour Friday morning west-bound
freight on the Pennsylvania railroad
broke in two in the eastern limits of
the city and came together with disas-
trous results. Five cars of hard coal,
one tank of oil, a car of gasoline and
car of queensware were completely de-
molished.
An explosion of the oil occurred, and
in an instant the debris was a mass of
flames. Four colored tramps were rid
ing on the oil car at the time of the ac-
cident. One of the unfortunate VIC
Tins was found shortly after burned to
crisp, and the other three are still
missing. The one found can not be
identified.
For a distance of 300 feet the rail
roads double track was covered with
burning Goals, which created heat
like that of blast furnace. The fire
engine of the city was taken to the
scene of the wreck and did efficient
service in assisting to eXtinguish the
flames. Water was procured from the
tanks of number of locomotives that
were running for that purpose.

said Saturday night:
''It is difficult to understand the po
litical conditions which now obtain il

the central authority in China

Chinese, and the fact that tn,
great Chinese empire is composed
of powerful and independent state
which are not actuated by a common
purpose, and which may not cooperate
with zeal on the part of the genera

40 years old, painter and decorator,
shot and instantly killed his wife, Bar
bara, Sunday morning in their rooms
on Second avenue, then turned the re-

three of their small children.
Hunt has long been considered ment-
ally unbalanced. He was sullen, mo-
rose, suspicious and inordinately jeal-
Gus of his wife. He gave her no warn
ing, but without word placed a re-
volver to her head and pulled the trig-
ger. She fell dead, and he at once put
bullet in his own brain.

THOMAS BAILEY ENTwIsLF.

The news Of the sudden death Of Thomas
Bailey Entwisle, inspector of buildings, will
iause a painful shock not only to his many
riends but TO all the people who knew him.
De was seated in the midst Of his family, en-
oyIng the comforts of the home freside.
Fhen, without moments warning, the dread
messenger came and extinguished the spark
sf lie.
Mr.. Entwisle belonged 10 the older genera
ion Of Washingtonians. Long before he was
appointed 10 the position which he he'd at the
time Of his death be was one OF the best
known builders in the city. As business
man be was thoroughly reliable, and the con
scientiousness which had marked all his
transactions in his private affairs he carried
into his official work While holding the Of
fee OF inspector Of buildings he was subjected
10 considerable criticism for supposed sins Of
commission and omission-especially the lat
ter-but everybody in the end conceded that
Mr. Entwisle did the best he could and what
he thought right.
In the administration of his important office
Mr. Eutwisle was surrounded by many diff
culties, arising principally from the parsimony
Of Congress, and not little of the censure
that was visited now and then upon his on
cial acts ought to be laid at the door OF cir
cumstGnces for which he could not be held
justly responsible.
To the family so suddenly bereaved of their
protector the community tenders sincerest
sympathy.
