EMPoRIA. Kan, Sept. 9.-The new
wing of the Kansas state normal
school is in ruins. Part of the north
brick wall has been blown in and the
roof carried away. 1t had only lately
been finished and cost $50 900. The
loss so far will be not less than
$4,000. with prospects of it be-
ing still worse, as Albert Taylor hall,
with it's fine stage, fresco work,
chairs, ETC., is open to the rain,
which is still falling. Fortunately
10 one was in the, building when it
went down. Four inches of rain fell
in two hours, accompanied by terrific
windstorm. William Clarke's whole
sale furniture store was drenched,
Easements and cellars are flooded
and sidewalks torn up all over
the city. But meager reports
have been received from the country
as yet. At Reading a bridge and a
thousand feet of the Santa Fe track is

dwellings, a church and livery
barn were destroyed. At Hartford
a dwelling was blown down and a
Miss Bessie Henry was seriously in
jured. So far as can be learned, no

The National Letter Carriers Association
Resolve for Service Pension.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. THE cleo
ton of officers for the National Letter
Carriers association was partially held
at last nights session of the conven-
ton and the result thus far is as fol-
lows: President, r. f. Quinn, Phil
adelphia, 3O2 votes; William J. Hem
Messy, Boston, 1913; vice president,
James Arkison, Fall River, 355; E. s.
Kessler, New Orleans, 1873; secretary,

A motion that the committee on leg
islation be instructed to get an appro-
priation through congress to pay the
carriers in the twelve cities raised to
first class by the census of 1890 and
back salary due them was adopted.
The pension bill, presented by the
Chicago delegation, was adopted as a
whole amid great cheering. The bill
which will now be presented to the
next congress provides for the payment
of a pension to all carriers who are in
jured in the service, and the retirement
of carriers on half pay after twenty
years service. The money is to be OBJ
tanned by deducting 2 per cent. from
the salaries of active carriers each
month and per cent. from the pay OF
the retired carriers.

A Broken Axle Causes Train to Be Thrown
into Stream-Many Injured.
CHEROKEE, Kan, Sept 9. Passenger
train No. 4O1, on the Cherryvale branch
of the Fort Scott & Memphis road,
went through a 6O-foot span bridge
across the lightning river between
McCune and Monmouth at sos o'clock
Saturday evening. There were TWEEN
ty people hurt, some seriously, while
many escaped with only slight in
juries. AS the train neared the
bridge over Indian creek, 1 mile
west of Monmouth, an axle on the
rear coach broke. It ran 200 feet on
the track and then tore loose from the
train and rolled over into the back
water of the creek. By this time the
train had reached the bridge, and was
rocking fearfully. The baggage car
tipped and crashed into the side timbers
of the bride. The structure, unable to
stand the jar and strain. gave way,
and the entire train pitched into the
creek, 20 feet below. The stream had
been swollen by the recent heavy rains.
The baggage car fell first and the front
coach fell partially over it. thus pre-
venting the passengers from being
uFOWn0O. AS IL WdS1 JuoY were
tumbled together at the end of the car.
Among those seriously hurt are:
Brakeman Morris, Cherryvale, Kan,
who was in the smoking car at the
time of the accident. He was badly
bruised about the head and body, re-
covery doubtful; J. w. Bray, Parsons,
Kan, severely cut about the head Mrs.

JOPLIN, Mo-, Sept. 7.-Joplin was Wis
tied by a cloudburst shortly after 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Rain fell
at intervals all the afternoon, culmi-
mating in a storm which was the worst
known in twenty years. Water came
down in streams. The rain was accom-
panied by terrific electrical display,
and by high wind, which did great
damage. The First NJ. E. church
and several private residences were
damaged by water. On Main street,
for half block, on each side of the
Willow branch, several business build
ings were flooded. In all the low lying
districts the occupants were driven
from their houses. The railways suf-
fered much damage. Many mines
were flooded, and the loss from this
will be heavy. No fatalities are re-
ported. A break in the water main
has cut East Joplin off from supply.

WALLER AGAIN,
The Government Moving Cautiously in o.

The Government Moving Cautiously in Or
der to Protect Walters Rights.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The state de-
partment has been advised that the
record in the Waller court-martial for
which the French authorities found it
necessary to send to Madagascar, is
expected to reach Alden, on the Red
sea, about the 18th inst. After it's ar
rival there some time will be re-
quired for it's transmittal to
Paris and still more before it
can reach Washington, if it is
decided to have it examined here,
so that it is expected to be at least a
month before the Departmental be in
full possession of all the facts in the
case. In all proba bility no further step
will be taken by the department in this
matter until this examination shall
be made. There is a growing feeling
in the department that France has
purposely sought delay in producing
this record in the hope of causing the
United States to make a peremptory
and unconditional demand for Walters
release. It is believed if made this de-
mand would be granted, and if grant,
ed Waller would be deprived of all
chance of securing an indemnity and
the restoration of his land concession.
Without an examination of the record
which could not be demanded after his
release, it would be impossible
to show that Waller had been
uniustly deprived of his property.
The department is using every
effort to avoid falling into this trap,
while at the same time it is determined
to protect Waller in all his interests
The department is understood to be in
receipt of the full statement of the
case, as supplied by the commander of
the Castine. 1t is believed that the
irritation of the French authorities at
Tamatave was really aroused by his
investigation into this case rather than
by his failure to salute the French

men were drowned in The Oconee river
yesterday. Two negroes, Albert Cross
and John Armor, started to the mill
with some corn to get it ground.
When they reached the ferry they
found the river very high from the re-
cent rains Ira Caldwell, son of the
ferryman, undertook to carry them
across on a fat boat When they
reached the middle of the stream the
boat was caught in the current and
swept down the river n milo over the
dam, Is feet high. The boat was shat
tered on the rocks and the men were
killed or drowned.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF rRAps

Outlook Is Encouraging, and a Certainty
That the Corn Crop Will BE Enormous.
NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-R. G.. Dun q
Co. weekly review of trade says:
There is no real reaction in business.
Gains which were recognized as tenn
porary are vanishing, but there re.
mains a decided increase over last year
at date. although prices average s. s per
cent. lower than year ago. 1t needs
no keen observer to see that the reac-
ton against rapid advance in prices is
strong. Hides were the first to rise,
but decided break has come. Wheat
jumped over 20 cents to 81 cents, but is
now slow of sale at about 65 cents
Wool was late in rising, but has
lost about q cent in average
price within the past fortnight.
Iron still rises, the strike having
hindered shipments of ore, but with
troops guarding the ore begins to
move. Cotton is strong, but has
paused. The general tendency to cur
tail purchases where prices have
notably advanced grows clearer in
boots and shoes, in wool and in some
products of iron.
The brightest feature in all the hori-
zon is the certainty that the crop OF
corn will be enormous. FrostS now
can only affect a small fraction, and
the surplus will go into the manufac-
ture of meats, because at S5.7 cents at
New York, nearly cents lower than a
week ago, there is no other profit
able use for corn. The latest
reports of wheat threshing have
induced the best western judges
to raise their estimate of the yield over
40, 600, 900 bushels, and with $50, 600, 600
bushels added to 10000, 900 bushels
brought over, the supply will exceed
all proba BILE demands. Atlantic ex-
ports have been only 1,347, $50 bushels,
-four included, against 2,799, $50 last
year. Pacific shipments continuing
large.

-FOUR POISONED.
Some Japanese Eat at n Chinese Restaurant
With Fatal Eject.


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Wednesday
evening four young Japanese belong
ing to the Japanese Christian mission
of this city went to a Chinese restau-
rant at Waverly place in the Chinese
quarter. They received good atten-
ton and what was presumed to be a
good meal was served. Shortly after
they left the place they were all taken
seriously i'll and a doctor was hastily
summoned. It was soon discovered
that they had been poisoned and anti
dotes were administered but with little
effect and after few hours of agony
one of the victims died. The doctors
have despaired of the lives of the other
three, as the poison used is of a very
virulent nature, the dead man turning
black and swelling to twice the nor
NAL size shortly after his death. It is
presumed that the enmity which ex-
lists between the two nations at the
present time was the cause of the crime
on the part of the Chinese.

Sensational Letter from . German ne D1.

Sensational Letter from q German at D1~
luth to Topeka Paper.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. Ga special
from Topeka, Kan, last night says:
The Kansas Independent, populist
paper, will publish a letter Friday from
r citizen of Duluth to its editor, /. w.
Pack, which purports to expose con-
spiracy on the part of the insur-
ance companies and the chief of
police of Topeka to arrest William
Schnell and palm him off for
George w. Fraker, of life insurance
fame. The letter is written by a.
German of the name of Harberger, and
is to the effect that Fraker or Schnell
is crazy hermit, whose great ambi-
ton is to achieve notoriety. The author
of the letter declares that it can easily
be proven that Schnell has lived in the
woods of Minnesota and Wisconsin for
years, and that he passed in the local
ity where he was arrested as king
Of the Forest" 1t is alleged that it
is not the intention of the insurance
companies to push his prosecution
after the money handed over to
Fraker's executors has been recovered.
1t explains that the reason why
not taken into custody was that he
would swear that the prisoner is not
Fraker and furnish the names of any
numbe of witnesses who would SO
testify.
J. P. Davis, president of the Kansas
Mutual Life Insurance Co.. in an in
| terview last night, said there was no
doubt of Fraker's identity, and that no
effort would be made to secure the re-
turn of the insurance money until
all interested admitted it. He said
that he believed Fraker would be
sent to the penitentiary, although he
admitted that number of prominent
Kansas and Missouri attorneys whom
ne had consulted had expressed the
opinion that he could be convicted OF
no crime.
