Texan TRAIN NRECKERS
Remove the Rails at High
Bridge, Near Houston.
AN AWFUL WRECK TOOK PLACE.
Only One Life Was Lost, but Many
Were Iniurcd-The Wreckers from
Ambush Fire on Brakeman Going
Back with Light 10 stop Fast Freight.

HOUSTON, Tex, Feb. 9.--Last night at
the High Bridge over White Oak Bayou
train wreckers removed the rails and
fish plates on the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad. When the
passenger train came along the engine
passed safely over, but the baggage and
mail coaches jumped the track and rolled
down the bank, followed by the smoker,
which landed on top of them. The wreck
presented frightful appearance.
Joe Elliott, brakeman, was sent back
TO flag freight train which was soon
due. He had not proceeded hundred
Yards when a volley from ambush was
fired upon him. Four bullets took effect
in his body.
The crew in the meantime, aided by pas
sengers, were al work extricating the men
buried in the wreck and feared to go to
the fiagman's rescue. He, however,
crawled bleeding and wounded,
back TO the train and now lies
dying. In the mail car was
Morris, the agent, badly bruised and with
several bones broken. His first thought
was of his maii; and ne requested the
porter TO go TO the postofficc and notify
them he had big run OF registered
matter.
III. Hatton, the express messenger, was
found in his car, with his ribs broken and
in a critical condition.
j. w. Carter, baggage master, was in
jured about the head and internally. A
relief train was made up here and sent 10
the scene. The wounded were brought in
and are in the hospital. Posses are on
the scene and great excitement prevails.

So nicely was the choppng timed that
the three masts went crashing by the
board az the same instant, and as soon as
the rattle was cleared away The ship in a
measure righted, but only to be dss ned
further upon the reef, where she pounded
and ground herself.
When the Kearsarge went over after
striking the reef she went SO far that the
banked fires in the furnaces were thrown
out and scattering in all directions set fire
to the ship.

Inasmuch as the officers and crew were

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.--The World has a
special cable from Panama, telling OF the
wreck of the Kearsarge, as follows:
"When the kearsarge went ashore,
she was proceeding under sail
and had, comparatively speaking,
no steam up. There was a terrific
sea on and the ship heeled to such an
alarming extent that II was feared she
would capsize. In order to case her and
to help her back to an.even keel the great
gun OF Alabama fame was jettisoned. Tbs
had no effect in the direction of casing the
ship to stand up. The next movement TO
save the vessel from going clear over
on her beam ends was 10 cut away the
masts. The men worked with all dis
patch under the circumstance, attacking
the fore, main and mizZen riggi al the
same time. Ii was with the greatest
difficulty that the men prevented them
selves from being washed overheard or
dashed 10 death against the mas.s or

BLAME 1T ONTO THE IRISH.
The Pennsylvanfa Sfrik Ike Said to Have
Been a Plot Against Huns.

Been a Plot Against Huns.
CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, April 6.-The
leaders of the Slavs and Hungarians in
this section are claiming that the strike
was the result of a conspiracy of the
Irish and German elements of the re-
gion to get the Hungarians expelled from
the coke region and they are diligently
spreading the news to all their people in
the region. The means by which this is
to be done is the present strike. The
Slavs and Huns were brought to this
country under contract twelve years ago
to break a strike, and since that time the
other nationalities allege the wages of
the miners and cookers have speedily de-
clined.
The only means, the others believe,
of restoring the former prosperous times
is by expelling the Hungarians and Slavs.
One of the very marked features of the
strike is that all the leaders of the strike
and the officers of the organization are
Irish, while the Irish employees of the re-
gion. numbering about 1900, refuse to
take part in the strike. The Germans
also hold aloof.
The Hungarians claim they have been
led into this strike, melted riot in
order TO work up a prejudice against
them, and cause the people to rise up
and either annihilate them or expel
them from the region. It is hard to ex-
plain the sudden collapse of the
strike in any other way than
that the Huns have got the
impression that they are being imposed
upon and having given up the contest
It is remarkable that movement of
such magnitude, up to yesterday morn
ing, should suddely collapse.
In conversation with J. Delay, presi-
dent of large Slavish political club and
editor of a Slavish paper, he positively
asserts that his countrymen were the vic
Tins of conspiracy and that they were
incensed at the leaders. He thought it
would be well for them to keep out of
their reach.
He also expressed the fear that J. D,
McAleb the banker who failed last Sep
TENDER, many Hungarians losing their
savings at the time, was in danger of
assassination as threats had been made
l1,oOu his life.

Mill Workers at Lawrence Forced by
Desfftution 10 Accept a Cut.
LAWRENCE, Mass, April 6.--Several
strikers of the Washington mills will re-
turn to work on Monday next at the re-
duced wages, after period of idleness
extending over eight weeks. They are
forced by destitute circumstances to ac-
cept the cut down. The leaders of the
strike declare that they are able to fight
the corporation.
About 500 operatives are employed in
the mills at present, which is about one
fourth the number required to run the
mills. The officials have refused to make
any concessions, and say the strikers
must return to work at the reduced wages
or not at ALL
The entire police force of the city will
be present at the mill gates on Monday
morning to prevent trouble if the strik-
ers attempt to interfere with those re-
turning to work.

Oats Very Much Damaged
COLUMBIA, Mo-, April 6.-Secretary
j. R. Rippey, of the Missouri state
board of agriculture, says in his re-
port to the board:
Crop reports received at this Office
April l were prepared just prior to
and during the severe and almost IN
precedented freeze Of the latter part
of March To that date most satisfac-
tory conditions existed
'sWheat was estimated at 95 per
cent OF crop and only per
cent would probably be plowed up.
Later reports say that wheat
was injured by freezing to the ex-
tent of 25 per cent. None or very
little was killed, but the
young vigorous growth was frozen
to the ground and the plant is thought
to De materially injured AS to the
oats, the condition of the ground for
seeding was excellent and the acreage
compared with 1898 had increased 4
per cent"
Prior to the freeze it was esti-
mated that II per cent of the apple
buds were alive, FL per cent of the
peach buds, 81 per cent of the straw
berries and rs per cent of small fruit,
all of which is now changed Small
