lumbus-Sovcrnl Persons badly Hurt.
Passengers Escape Injury.
COLUMBUS, o., March G.-Tho Pcnnsyl.
vNniN RAILROAD special No. ., which ar
rived ut Columbus at $40 p. nl., and
left at 500, met with an accident at
Reeds avenue crossing, about two miles
east OF the city at $3.50. This is the
solid vOstibulcd limited md carries pas.
senGcrs from Cincinnati, 81. Louis and
the west to New York. 1t Is generally
well crowded with passengers.
There is n large tower located at Reed
avenue which is two stories high, and
from which tho intorloCkinG switches
apparatus Is operated. Tho train had
just past tho tower at 4 ratio estimated
TO bc about twenty miles an hour,
when tho last sleeper Jumped the track
ana was thrown against tho target, be-
ing practically smashed into kiudling
wood. Tho force and weight oil the
sleeper leaving the truck pulled the
other cars oil and tho whole train was
deraiIGd. but mono OF tho cars turned
over. At the time tho train passed the
tower the crew Of Il yard engine wero in
waiting to begin work Tho fireman OF
this crew. John Mccormick, was badly
hurt; fireman Jamos jenkins and yard
mnstcr Bert Woodward were also badly
injured; Bert Cooper. telegraph opera
tor, badly hurt; NJ. L. Wilson, car in
spectOr, badly hurt: q. G. ii. Bell,
brakeman, iniurod-all Of Columbus.
4 telcgroph pole standing near tho
tower was broken of by tho force OF tho
sleeper when it jumped tho track aud
ono end Of it ran through tho sleeper.
This aided in tho destruction OF tho
sleeper and placed tho passengers in n
most pcrilous position. The car was
well filled and only few had retired for
the night. Tho greatest Of excitement
prevailed, as the passengers wore i'm
prisoned in the car when tho work OF
rescue was inaugurated. Assistance was
promptly called from the Panhandle
yards near by and tho police patrols and
ambuIances responded. All aided in
the rescue. The latest information from
the scene OF tho wreck is that all have
been tax, out OF the sleeper and it has
not bee discovered that any oil tho pas
sengers are seriously injured, although
many OF them have suffered cuts and
bruises and severe shocks.

Charleston gun was taken of ut Eagle,
uncovered and unlimbcred in full view
Of passing strikers. A freight train

and they didn't even look ut tho troops

The moral effect OF this gatling gun
will bo ms great US that Of five companies

Arrests arc being made every hour
and tho Fnyotte Jail Is crowded.
ThcrG arc all sorts OF wild rumors
atloat as to what will bo done tonight
by tho strikers.
The disclosure oil tho dynamite plot
seems 10 have scared the men, how.
ever, and they arc trying to get away,
but tho ringleaders have beon arrested
and when the full force OF tho law Ia
executed upon them it is believed that
the trouble will stop.
l do not think the strikers will ever
rest satisfied until Wyant is killed and
the shcrilFs posse who shot their men
is landed in the penitcntiary. As there
Is little probability OF the latter event
occurring. the trouble will last inden-
nitely. Troops will remain upon the
sceno until all is quiet, but when they
are withdrawn moro trouble will follow.

ST. LOUIS, No., March G.-To.night
about 0 o'clock tho Mobile aud Ohio
train which left here ut S:35 o'clock
was held up by thrco robbers at Forest
Lawn, ILL.,, about four miles from East
St. Louis. This Is tho third timo within
tho past six months that tho samo road

1horo Is no telegraph office at Forest
Lawn aud particulars aro worry hard 10

trucks have been built up high above 1t
and it WAS along there that the robbery
occurred. 1t cannot bo nsccr;anod at
this hour what the robbers obtained,
but it Is not thought tho haul amounted
TO much. The Southern Express Com
panv which suffered heavily by tho
previous robborios has become cautious
and since the Inst ono has not mado any
heavy shipments on this train.

bGrs were frightened away before they

CHARLESTON, W. Va, March G.-Tho
governor informed the Associated Press
tonight that there was no npprehen-
sion OF any further trouble among tho
kanawha miners. While there has
been nothing developed to-day that in
any way changes the aspect OF affairs,
tho officers are continually making ar
rests and the troubles are all well in
hand. Four more arrests have been
made, making total OF twonty-seven
striIcrs apprehendcd thus far. The
preliminary examination OF tho Wyants
and the strikers is now in progress at
Fayetteville. 1t will probably consume
several days. The Wyants arc out on
bail.
The catling gun which was taken to
Eagle to-day has been placed in posi-
tion there and it is thought will have 4
good effect in quieting the strikers.
The Montgomery authorities, who have
been friendly to the mnera have been
completely awed by tho state authori-
ties and telegram 10 the Daily GG-rttc
tonight states that they are doing all in
their power to aid in making arrests.
1t is probable that the discovery OF
the dynamite plot wired to tho Asso-
ciated Press last night has had great
dOal to do with tho change OF front on
the part OF tho Montgomery officials.
The correspondent is not at liberty to
divulge this whole plot at present, but
in short while can be made public
the whole story. He sent tho substance
last night, but the state officials desire
that full details be withheld for the
present.
