CRASH IN A TUNNEL.
Two Killed and Many Mangled in a
Chicago Street Railway Wreck.

Chicago Street Railway Wreck.
Under the center of the Chicago River
In the Washington street tunnel n run
away Milwaukee avenue train Tuesday
night dashed into n Madison street train,
the grip of the former and the Ogden
avenue trailer of the latter telescOping
each other Result: Two men dead, a
score or more passengers hurt, some seri-
ously. According to the little infOrma-
ton that could be obtained from the
gripman of the runaway train, lis grip
broke just as he reached the arch of the
tunnel His heavily loaded train shot
forward down the incline and before he
could set the brakes it had acquired such
Roadway that the brakes were practically
useless. The rails were wet and slip
perry, and the train slid onward with
ever-increasing momentum toward the
cars in front of it, notwithstanding the
gripman bore down on the brake lever
with all his weight and strength, and
poured sand on the rails. He yelled ut
the top of his voice and rang his gong,
hoping the gripman ahead would under
stand and let go the cable, but he did not
seem to comprehend. Passengers on the
runaway train were thrown into panic
and some tried to get out, but the cars
were so crowded that they simply wedg
ed each other in tighter. The crash came
just in the middle of the tunnel under
the river. There was bump, ripping
of timbers, n grinding, crushing sound,
and the two trains came to n standstill,
wrenched end broken at the bottom of
the grade. Then were heard other sounds.
There were shrieks of fear and groans of
pain. Fire added its terrors to the STAN
pede which followed the wreck, but for
tunately the flames were eXtinguished be-
fore additional injury and suffering were
inflicted The work of rescue and clear
ing away the wreck was conducted by the
tremen, and occupied two hours.

Sure Cure for Diphtheria.

Of particular interest at this time is n
report made TO Surgeon General Wyman
by DIR. j. j. Kinyoun, the marine hos
pital surgeon who investigated the meth
DDS employed at the Pasteur Institution,
Paris, in the preparation of the new cure
for diphtheria. OF the whole number of
cases which came under DR.. Kinyoun' S
observation (eighty-two) three died
about per cent The statistics show
that there has been n gradual diminution
of mortality since last May. The report,
continuing, says:
"The efficacy of the serum is better
shown in the tracheotomies than i'm all
others. The mortality under the usual
conditions has been, from 1889 to 1894.
something frightful to contemplate; fully
80 per cent. of the little patients have sue
cumbed. Since the commencement of
the serum treatment the death rate has
been lowered TO less than A per cent,
and the cases upon which tracheotomy
must be performed are fewer and fewer.
Facts worthy of note are that dphtheric
paralysis is rare, pneumonias are less fire.

HEADS in DANGER.
JAPAN CALLS FOR SURRENDER
OF CHINESE OFFICIALS.
Those Who offered Rewards for Jap
anese Heads Must BE Given Up Be-
fore Any Peace Proposals Will BE
Considered.
Humane Conduct Urged.

Before considering the peace proposals
from China, Japan insists upon the sur
render for execution of all the Chinese
officials who have offered money rewards
for Japanese heads. The London Globe
prints a letter from n British resident in
China who occupies an important posi-
ton which brings him in touch with the
mandarns and the masses. The writer
says: "a tragedy may occur any day, and
when the japanese come within sight of
the capital L feel certain that every for
eigner will be massacred. The foreign
Ministers will incur n perfectly insane
risk If they remain there after the ice has
closed the port of Tien Tsin. The great
est danger is in the fact that nearly all
the soldiers are members of secret So
cietes which are ready to break out at
the first chance" The instructions given
by Lieutenant General Sakuma to the
second japanese army, governing the
treatment of the enemy in the pending
war, are contained in an issue of the
Yokohama Mail. General Sakuma said
that Japan, being the first country of
the East which had adopted civilization
as her path, held the responsible position
TO lead other hitherto uncivilized ma
tons into the way of civilization. So
whatever way the enemy may act, Japan
must tread the way of justice, and while
carrying reform into barbarous coun-
try, the dignity of Japan must be upheld

over the country by Inspector McLaugh-

his hair cut and his mustache dyed. He
stolidly refuses to tell anything about

to lend color to the assertion. He also
has letters addressed to him by that
name. These letters were from New
York and Dakota, and related to real es-
tate matters. They are not signed, and

BULGARIA. WAS WORSE.
Armenians Outrages Are Said to BE
Not as Black as Painted.

The London Daily News publishes
three-coumn letter from Constantinople
giving a history of the Armenian out
RACES The writer admits from the out
set, though he says that the officials de-
mails are as foolish and conflicting as
those that followed the Bulgarian atroci-
ties, that from all the evidence he has
been able TO gather, in point Of the num-
bers killed and villages burned, the Ar
menian outrages cannot be compared
with the Bulgarian atrocities. Still, it is
n bad business, the extent of which will
not be known until the consular reports
are published. A curious feature has
been the partial success which has at
tended the efforts to suppress news of
the outrages. This is due to the fact that
all the postoffices are i'm Turkish hands
and no scruple is made of opening letters.
This is so well known that nobody dares
TO describe the affair except in general
terms. The newspapers in Constanti-
nople are forbidden to use the word Ar
menia.

BUSINESS AT A STAND.
Prospects for Better Trade After Jam
nary Are Bright.

nary Are Bright.
II. G. Dun & Co.'S Review says: 1t is
difficult to detect any change in current
business. Prospects for business after
Jan. 1 are quite generally considered
more hopeful; in some branches there are
larger orders and the west-bound ship
ments of merchandise are little larger,
but the working force naturally dimin-
ishes near the end of the year and the
holiday traffic brings just now temper
airy activity which is not of much general
significance. The meeting of Congress
and the announcement of the new cur
rency plan and of various bills proposed
have not affected the situation precepti-
bly,. On the whole agricultural products
are scarcely stronger and wages of labor
do not advance, but there is reason to ex-
pect the employment of somewhat
larger working force after the holidays.
The expected government report on feed
ing cattle and hogs has scarcely intiu-
cnced the market. 1t is doubted whether
the estimate is more reliable than the es-
Inmates of yield of wheat and cotton,
which are not regarded seriously.

He Is Captured After a Chase Extend
ing All Over the Globe.

ing All Over the Globe.
Among the Huachucas mountains,
about forty miles from Tucson, A. T., a
man was arrested for whom the authori-
ties have been looking for years. He Is
John Hillmon, and his capture recalls one
of tho most remarkable cases in the an
mails of crime. In 1870 Ilillmon and two
companions, one of them resembling him
very closely, took trip into the Buffalo
mountains of Texas to hunt. They were
gone several weeks. and when Hillmon
and one companion returned, the man
bearing so striking n resemblance to him
failed to accompany them. 1T seems that
Hillmon, who carried insurance on his
life of $4,000, while i'm the mountains
conceived u murderous scheme and killed
in cold blood the man who so closely re-
sembled him. On his return he took the
name of the man whom he had murdered,
saying that Hillmon had been accidently
shot and buried in the mountains. In due
time Mrs. Hillmon made a claim on the
life insurance companies in which her
husband had been insured for $50, 900.
The insurance people became suspicious.
The remains of the man whom Hillmon
had murdered were exhumed and ii was
then discovered that they were not the
remains Of Hillmon. Mrs. Hillmon insti-
tuted legal proceedings TO recover the
amount of insurance. The case was car
ried from one court to another until final
ly she secured judgment for the principal,
interest and attorneys fees in the Su-
preme Court of the United States. Dur
ing all this time the insurance companies
kept detectives on the trail of Hillmon,
who disappeared shortly after his wife
made claim for the insurance. He was
followed to Australia and other foreign
countries, and reward of $4,000 was
offered for his apprehension, dead or
oliva

DE LEssEPs Is DEAD.

Canal Finally Passes Away.

Distinguished Engineer OF the Suez
Canal Finally Passes Away.
Count Ferdinand de Lesseps, who has
been one of the most prominent charac-
tiers in France for more than a quarter of
n century, is dead. Ferdinand de Lesseps
was born in 1905 at Versailles, and, after
brilliant educational career at the Ly-
ceum Henry ~. he was appointed con-
sui at Alexandria in 1885, just as the
plague had smitten that city and people
were fleeing from il by thousands. De
Lesseps remained at his post, started an
ambulance and tended the patients till the
pest was over. The vessel in which he ar
rived on one occasion at the harbor of
Alexandria was put under quarantine.
De Lesseps asked the Captain to lend
him a few books with which TO while
away the dreary hours. One of these vol
umes contained an imaginary sketch of a
canal through the Isthmus of Suez. Its
perusal fascinated De Lesseps to such an
extent that he determined then and there
to think the project over and see If it
could not be carried out. He met with
numerous obstacles of all sorts, but over
came them one after the other, and the
canal was built, and on Nov. IL, 1869,
formally opened. The highest honors
were paid to the great engineer, and on
his return to Paris he was invested with
the grand Gordon of the ] ,gion Of Honor.
The next project of his life was the I'M
fortunate Panama enterprise. Readers
are familiar with the collapse of the
scheme and the great financial scandal
connected with it,

also a knife cut on the left side of the
head. On the left hip and thigh and from
the shoulder to the center of the back were
wounds which look as if they had been
inflicted with an AK. Edmund Jordan, a

and Annie Mahaney, the woman in tie
case, admits being an accomplice.
