progress of the disease began to cause his
family and friends uneasiness. Last year
he went on lengthy trip to the far West
in search of health. Later he went to
Thomasville, Ca, where it was hoped the
mild and bracing climate would restore
his old-time vigorous constitution. The trip
did him but little good, and after time he
was brought home.
At his old home Judge Jackson seemed
to improve steadily until he went to Wash
ington to sit in the second hearing of the
income tax cases. He stood that trying
trip only fairly well and after his return
home appeared to lose strength rapidly.
The fact is, he was afflicted with compli-
cation of diseases against which it was
virtually impossible to struggle. Never
theiess Judge Jackson did not take to his
bed until last Wednesday week. Since
that time his family and friends realized
that the end was near, and his death to-
day was not unexpected.
With the exception of Miss Elizabeth
Jackson and William II. Jackson Jr., who
are in Europe, his children were at the
BEDSIDE when the distinguished sufferer
passed away.
The arrangement for the funeral has not
been fully completed, but it is thought
that it will take place next Sunday after
noon at $3.50 o'clock.

IN THE FOG,
Two Trains Met and Were
Smashed on an East
ern Road.
Passenger and Freight Coaches De-
molished and Several Train
men Killed.

PLYMOUTH, NH, Aug. S.-One of the
worst collisions that ever occurred on the
White Mountain division of the Boston
and Maine Railroad took place one mile
south of here at 40 o'clock this morning.
Three men met with instant death, several
received injuries and ten or twelve pas
sengers received a fearful shaking up.
Train No. 81, the Cannon-ball express, due
in Boston at 9:40, left Plymouth on time
at 5:35 in charge of Conductor Eugene
Bennett of Concord.
1t is the only vestibuled train running
over the road, and consisted of an engine,
baggage-car and two passenger-coaches.
About one mile south of here, when round
ing curve at the Keniston interval, the
train ran into an extra freight northbound.
The two trains met with fearful crash
plainly heard here. The engines were
completely demolished. both being thrown
over twenty-foot embankment and re-
duced to kindling wood. The bodies of
the dead were frightfully mangIed and so
sea led as to be hardly recognizable.
The killed were: Frank Stevens of Lake
port, engineer of the Cannon-ball; George
Merrill of Lakeport, fireman of the Can
non-ball; Henry G. Lines of Woodsville,
fireman of the freight.
Among the passengers injured are: w.
J. Randolph, Boston Globe correspondents
injury to right leg and hand; w. M. Rog-
ers, Boston, slight injury to leg; Conductor
Eugene Bennett. Concord, cash on the
right side of head; Freeman Downing,
baggage-master, injured in the shoulder;
Arthur Austin, HaverhiIl, brakeman on
freight, fracture of skull, in a precarious
condition.
When the collision occurred the Cannon
ball was running at about thirty-fve miles
an hour, and as the morning was foggy it
was impossible to see more than few
yards ahead of the train. Fourteen new
freightcars just from the shops were stove
into pieces, as were the locomotives, one of
them also new.
There is only single track from Ply
mouth to Ashland, and as the accident oc-
CURED on curve telegraph and telephone
poles were destroyed for several hundred
feet, and all communication by wire was
cut off.
AS soon as the news of the disaster had
reached Plymouth crowds went to the
scene of the wreck, and all possible assist

of the Pemigewassett House were thrown
open to all who wished their injuries cared
for, and they were attended by surgeons
The freight was in charge of Conductor
L. J. Tyler of Woodsville and Engineer
Moses T. Eaton. Engineer Eaton has just
been transferred from the northern to the
White Mountain division of the Boston
and Maine, and was learning the road.
His escape was miraculous. The first he
knew of the affair was a crash, and the
next instant he was crawling from beneath
the wrecked locomotives on his hands and
knees. Although he is considerably in
jured the result will not be serious. The
freight was running extra and was on the
main line of the road on the exact time of
the Cannon-ball train.

THE LAST OF A BAD BAND.
James Clark Was a Member
of QuantrelPS Gang of
GuerrilIaS.
Later He Operated With Jesse
James and His Record Be-
came Very Red.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. s.. The man
known as Jack Clark, who was assassin
ated on the street of Telluride, Colo, last
night, was the original Jim Cummings,
the desperado, whose bad record has lived
and grown since the opening of the Civil
War.
To-day telegram was sent from Tel
luride to Mrs. Mary Cummings, the aged
mother of the desperate, at Independence,
Mo. 1t was signed by ]. L. Glenn and
reads as follows: "Jim was killed yester-
day. What shall 1 do with the body2"
Mrs. Cummings was not in Independ-
ence, being on visit to relatives in Kan
sas.
Cummings was member of Quantrell's
band during the war, and was one of the
most desperate members of Jesse James
gang of outlaws, that later operated from
Minneapolis to Texas. When pursuit be-
came hot he went to the mountains and
has since been known as James Clark.
The death of Cummings removes the
last of that band of desperate men who
set the example of bold robberies followed
later by so many imitators.

Railroad Company to negotiate the bonds
of the road, which he did satisfactorily.
When the war broke out he entered the
civil service of the Confederate Govern
ment. On returning to Memphis at the
close of the war Mr.. Jackson formed law
partnership with B. M. Estes, and after
ward with Mr.. Ellet, when the firm name
was changed to Jackson & Ellet. Judge
Jackson soon became we'll known rs an
able lawyer. His first wife died in 1873,
and in April, 1874, he was married to Mary
Elizabeth, second daughter of General w.
G. Harding of the famous Belle Meade
farm. In 1876 he returned to Jackson.
On two occasions Judge Jackson served by
appointment as one of the Judges of the
State Supreme Court and in 1878 he was
prominent candidate before the Tennessee
Democratic Convention for the nomination
for Supreme Court Judge, coming within
one vote of a nomination.
He was elected to the Tennessee House
of Representatives from Madison County
in 1880 on the estate credit platform, and
was made member of the committees on
the Judiciary and Privileges and Elections
On January 26, 1881, Judge Jackson was
elected United States Senator for the term
beginning March A. 1881. The Legislature
was very evenly divided, there being ten
Republicans in the Senate and thirty-seven
in the House, fifteen Democrats in the Sem
ate and thirty-seyen in the House and
one Greenback man in the House. and the
contest for the Senatorship was long one
lasting from January 1s to January 26.
Twenty y-nine joint ballots were taken, and
Judge Jackson was not named until the
last ballot was taken. No caucus nomina-
tions were made by either party. The

and containing six feet of water. She COM
mitted the act while in a fit of temporary
insanity superinduced by grief, dating
back to the horrible murder of her brother,
wealthy ranchman residing in West
Texas, two years ago.
She was spending the night with her
sister, and about midnight she was found
stroiling in the yard and told the family
she was going to die, but was again put to
bed.
The dog barking awakened the family
some two hours afterward, when the hor-
rible discovery was made. The body was
secured this morning with drag hooks.
Her aged mother is not expected to sur

leading Republican candidates were Post
master-General Horace Maynard and III.
III. Harrison, chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee and a leading
member in the Tennessee House. The
leading estate credit" Democratic candi-
date was James E. Bailey, the retiring SEN
ator. General w. B. Bate represented
middle ground on the credit question. The
leading slow tax" Democrat, Colonel John
H. Savage, withdrew before any joint bal
lots were taken and urged harmony among
the Democrats, but the slow tax" faction
generally voted for General Bate.
Mr.. Maynard several times came within
three or four votes of election, while Bailey
and Bate lacked from nineteen to forty
votes of a majority. Mr.. Bailey and Gen
eral Bate withdrew toward the close of the
contest, and before the meeting on jan
uary 26 the Democrats had resolved to sup
port any one named by Senator Matthews,
Independent Democrat. Senator Mat
thews voted for Solon E. Rose, and the
Democrats generally began to change
their votes Immediately, soon giving Mr..
Rose a majority of one vote. Mr.. Butler
(R.) then changed his vote from Maynard
to Jackson, and was followed by seventeen
other Republicans and all the Democrats.
When all the changes were made, the re-
suit was announced as follows: Jackson 72,
Maynard %, Rose /, Taylor 1, not voting
3. Mr.. Maynard, it is believed, might
have been elected had not few obstinate
Republicans held out to the last. hoping
that Mr.. Harrison, the choice of four or
five Republicans, might be forced upon
the majority of the party.
Mr.. Jackson was popular with both
Democrats and Republicans, and a man
of great purity of character. During the
contest he supported Senator Bailey.
Judge Jackson was a son of DR.. Alexander
Jackson, and not relative of Andrew
Jackson. In 1886 he was appointed by
President Cleveland as Circuit Judge for
the Sixth Circuit (Kentucky, Michigan,
Ohio and Tennessee) to succeed the late
Judge John Baxter.
After several years on the Circuit bench
Judge Jackson was placed upon the Su-
preme bench by President Harrison and
the nomination was confirmed by q Re-
publican Senate, notwithstanding he was
staunch Democrat.

CLOSING UP THE DEAL.

Return Subscriptions.

The Belmont Morgan Syndicate VIII
Return Subscriptions.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. s.-The
Belmont Morgan bond syndicate to-day
notified all subscribers to the syndicate
that upon presentation of their certificate
of subscription at the office OF ]. P. Nor.
can & Co. on Friday, August 8, they will
receive return OF 34.49 per cent of their
subscription. So far 40 per cent of the
original subscription has been returned.
1t is question whether the 341S per cent
to be paid will be in cash or in checks. The
bond syndicate will also close mp its deal
on the other side, deliver the bonds. re-
ceive back the ce rtiticates which were is
sued, and the entire deal will be ended, as
the syndicate has received the money for
the bonds.
So far there has been nothing said about
a distribution of the profits to the men,
bers. To-day 100000 in gold was de-
posted in the local sub-treasury by the
syndicate. This offsets the gold drawn by
certain commission houses from the SUBJ
treasury for export, and is in line with the
policy of the bankers who SO successfully
placed the last Government loan.
Speaking OF resales of the new bonds
here by certain houses, dealer claiming
to have inside information to-day said:
Almost all of the arbitration business
in the resales of Government bonds here
for European account has been done by
single firm. The aggregate of the transac-
ton might equal $4 100000 or S.. 900, 900, as
reported. 1t is not unreasonable to sup
pose that more bonds will seek this mar
ket, although, of course, it was purely
guesswork as to the probable extent of
these sales. The present quotations for
Government bonds are only nominal, 2nd
are merely made to facilitate transacts rs
over the counter. The market Is, at pres
ent, a waiting one."

negroes by the Italians of Spring Valley
has been declared off, and the Spring Val

would recognize the fourteenth. amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, which guarantees to every person
equal liberties without regard to race, color
or previous condition of servitude, and
that .the miners of Spring Valley would
pledge their earnest support to all efforts

wanted, he agreed to recognize it and to
resume operations in the mines at the
earliest possible moment. which will

Loss of Life.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. s.-The
thrilling story of the sinking of two vessels
in collision, and the probable loss of about
forty lives, was told this evening by Cap
tain Anderson, late of the British ship
Prince Oscar, who, with sixteen of his
crew, arrived at this port this afternoon
on the British steamer Capac from Chilean
and Peruvian ports. Four of the crew OF
the Prince Oscar went down on the ship
and two others were drowned by the up
setting of lifeboat in the heavy seas. The
name of the ship with which the Prince
Oscar was in collision is not known to
Captain Henderson, and its entire crew
are supposed to have gone to the bottom
with their vessel.
Captain Henderson thinks from her size
that her crew numb bered thirty or forty.
The collision occurred on the night of the
18th of July, in lat deg. 80 min. south
and long. 28.20 west, which is near the

OMAHA, NEBR., Aug. SIN the fire and
police trouble to-day very little of conse-
quence was done. The contempt case came
up and the City Council was dismissed
with mild rebuke from the court. Judge
Hopewell decided that the ten members of
the Council who voted to examine and ap-
prove the bonds of the new police board
after telegram had been served on them
commanding them not to do so were guilty
of contempt, but would be excused because
some of them had doubts as to the legality
of the injunction, and also as to its .genu-
ineness. The Council was not at all pleased
with this decision, although the other fac
ton wished the Judge to fine them. The
arguments in the injunction case were
continued to-day and will be finished to-
morrow. The city is quiet, and all are dis
posed to await calmly the processes of the
courts.
