The engine, baggage car, express car and tho day coach arc piled in the ditch a broken mass
 The train was running at a high rate of speed. and when within a quarter of O mile of Fontancl it smashed through Q misplaced switch. Tho crash was heard by the sheriff and deputy marshals, who had bccn at tho scene of trouble all day. A number of others also heard the crash and rushed to the scono of tho disaster. The wreck is undoubtedly tho work of a lawless mob of miners that had possession of Fontanel all day Thursday and stopped and sidetracked five Big Four freight trains to show their sympathy for the rail road strikers. No passengers were injured, but the mail clerks had miraculous es cape, as their car was demolished

Knights Stick by Debs.

A joint meeting of the executive boards of the A. R. |. and the k. of L. was held at Uhlich's hall to consider the treatment which the railway unions proposition to the General Managers association recciv- ed earlier in the day. An informal discus sion was followed by an adjournment.
 The feeling against the general man. agers was very bitter. but the conclusion was to wait until the general managers had acted on the proposition before taking any further action themselves The Knights of Labor representatives present. at tho meeting were in full accord with the railway union and agreed to stand by the union to the end.
 President Dcbs said at the close of the meeting that the union had made its last overtures to the general managers. It had gone more than half way. If the pres ent proposition was ignored or rejected the strike would Dc renewed with greater force and continued until the railway pco- pie gave in. The people had been appeal ing to the railway union to stop the strike. Hereafter they must appeal to the railway managers The burden of further trouble and loss of business must rest on their shoulders.
 MT. Debs added that there had been no relaxation of the strike. It is on in full force and would remain so until an affirm | ative answer came from tho general man. agers- If such an answer wcro received | the strike would end in 20 minutes. He intimated that the union had reserve l forces which 1t could call into action, and that they would Do felt in their full strength If necessary. He said labor union: were waiting patiently to be called upon | to join in a sympathetic strike and declared | that l2 or Is were yesterday induced tC | wait until an answer had been received from the general managers.

 An address to tho public was issued aft CT n long discussion, beginning as follows:
 ''In the light of all the evidence obtaina-
 ble and in view of the peculiar conplica-
 tions now enyeloping the situation, we
 arc forced to the conclusion that the best
 interests of the unions affiliated with tho American Federation of Labor demand
 that they refrain from participating in any general or local strike which may be proposed in connection with the present railroad troubles.
 ..In making this declaration we do not wish 1t understood that we arc in any way nnragonistic to labor organizations now struggling for right or justice, but rather l to the fact that the present contest has be- come surrounded and beset with complica- tons Sd grave in their nature that we can not consistently advise . course which | would but add to the general confusion.

THE EPIDEMIC.
Another Attempt to Wreck a
Railroad Train.

Bu The Assoct1ttd Pres.
PITTsBURo, Oct. 1S.-An attempt Of
train robbery was made last night near
this city on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road. At O'Clock an east bound
accommodation train ran over a
dynamite cartridge near Bissell, at a
lonely spot about 10 miles from
Pittsburg. The fange OF a wheel was
blown off and one end OF a coach was
wrecked. As the train had nearly reached
the end OF its trip there were few passen-
gers aboard and no one was injured.
An examination of the track was made
and two more powerful dynamite car
tridges were found on the rails. Had the
train been running fast it would have
exploded all three cartridges and have
been totally wrecked. IL is pretty
well known that the intent was to
wreck the mail aud express, through
train from the East few minutes later,
bat the robbers made a mistake and
placed the cartridges on the eastoound
track instead of the westbound.

STRIKERS STILL DISSATISFIED.


FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. 1S.-The strilx-
ing weavers continue TO manifest decided
aversion to returning to work under the
terms offered. Today there are
less than $4,000 looms in oper-
alton out of $1,000. The manufacturers
lost $50 looms this morning the men who
have been at work on them, refusing to
continue. In the western pirt OF the city,
the mills are running about full
and the strike is practically over there for
the present. The striking weavers are
very active in efforts to draw out the men
who are At work by threats Of violence
and by ridioule. All the Neavers at the
Mvtaconsett went out this forenoon.
The Richard Borden, Tecumseh, Po-
casset and Union mills have all lost weav-
ors today. In the eastern and northern
sections OF the city, however, the manu-
lecturers have gained.
Tomorrow the strik. are 20 have an
other demonstration.
For the present the manufacturers think
IL best to continue running the mills as n
meats OF ending the strike, but II many
more wesvers go out they may vote to
shut down next week.

PACE-LAPHAM.
The Nominees OF the Con-
gressionaI Convention.
Sorry Gathering in Infantry Hail.
Dead Man on a Committee.

The First and Second Democratic Dis
trict Congressional conventions were held
this forenoon in Infantry Hall. The First
District delegates nominated Hon.
Oscar Lapham, and the dele
gates from the Western District chose
Hon. Charles II. Page. There was moth
ing else for them TO do. 1t Is not known
yet whether Mr. Lspham will accept, but
the members OF the convention did not
care To stay in session TO ind out.
IL was 80 cold in the hall and the
gas burned SO poorly that the secretaries
had hard work to read the roll call. One
man w hose funeral had occurred since the
last convention was made committee
man. There were many of the line dele
gates who forgot to come and those pres
ent didn't see fit to fill the vacancies.
The principal objection to the con-
ventions was that they we're notlheld in
Blackstone Hall, where the applause
would have been more noticeable and the
half dozen spectators shown up TO
better advantage as an eager, enthusiastic
crowd. AS 1t was the chairman had to
urge the delegates to sit on the front set
tees of the center row where their motions
might be heard.

towns and cities in the First Congress
sional District of Rhode Island assembled

OF the Democratic state Central commit
tee called the first district convention
to order and Secretary John +. Conley

il was voted that a committee on resoiu-
tions be appointed, consisting of three
delegates from the city OF Providence and

port counties. The chair appointed
the following: X. b. Comstock, Augustus
5. Miller and George j. West from Provi-
