BROKE THE RECORD.
a BErd-Shooting Match Which Stands
without Parallel.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 13.-The
American field champion, ]. A. R.
Elliott, broke the worlds record at
trap shooting at fifty yards boundary,
in the second match of the series with
DR.. w. T. Carver yesterday. Elliott
made clean score of 100 killed, which
is one more than the best record here
tofore made and which was held by
Elliott. Carver's score of 90 equals
the best previous record and the match
itself stands without equal in trap
shooting contests.
Carver missed his fourth bird, which
was low flying straight-away driver
and was badly hit, falling dead ten
feet outside the boundary, making vir-
tually every bird which left the trap
killed.
The birds were strong, fast-fying
lot, and stiff breeze blew across the
6eld making the shooting difficult
and adding to the greatness of Elliott's
victory.
Elliott, who lives in this city, was
carried from the field on the shoulders
of his friends. The final match of the
series will be shot to-day.

CRASHED AT A CROSSING.
Fifteen Persons Injured, Where Scores
Might Have Been Killed.

Fifteen Persons Injured, Where Scores
Might Have Been Killed.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 15.-Nothing but
a miracle prevented one of the most
horrible wrecks in the history of
Louisiana yesterday. As it is about
fifteen people were more or less in
jured, seven of them seriously, and
$40, 600 worth of railroad property was
destroyed. The wreck was at the
junction of the Louisville & Nashville
and New Orleans & Northeastern
tracks, about two miles from the city,
and occurred just before $50 o'clock.
The colliding trains were the Louis
vile e. Nashville excursion and the
East Louisiana-Covington excursion
train. Both trains were completely
filed with pleasure-seekers bound for
the lake coast resorts on the pine lands
of Saint Tammany parish.
The engineer of the Louisville 65
Nashville train claims he stopped be-
fore reaching the crossing, and is sub
stantiated by the passengers on his
train, and that he blew the warning
whistle that he was going ahead and
received no response. He started
ahead and then saw the East Louisi-
ana train bearing down on him at
good rate of speed. Having started, it
was too late to think of stopping and
reversing, SO he opened the throttle
and tried to get over the crossing be-
fore the other train reached him.
AS subsequent events proved he failed
in his effort, and the consequence was
that when the other train struck his,
the coupling parted and the engine
and seven coaches were not stopped
for over 100 yards. There is no doubt
in the world but that this prevented
greater disaster, for it broke the force
of the shock from the East Louisiana
train, diverting its impetus and pre-
venting the engine from crashing head
on into the coach, filled with mass of
humanity, totally oblivious of the fact
that grim death stared them in the
face.
The East Louisiana engineer claims
that the air brakes refused to work,
and that when he found that it was
impossible to avoid collision he
and his fireman jumped, the latter be-
ing the first to leap from the cab. The
latter claims that the customary
whistle was blown, but a good many
persons dispute that fact.
