A BAD WRECK IN KANSAS.
Twenty People Hurt ON the Memphis,
Near Monmouth.

Twenty People Hurt ON the Memphis,
Near Monmouth.
CHEROKEE, Kan, Sept lO.-There
were twenty people hurt in the wreck
of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis passenger train near Mon
mouth, Kan, Saturday afternoon.
Several were seriously hurt, while
many escaped with only slight injuries.
The wrecked train was due here at 5
o'clock. AS the train neared the
bridge over Indian Creek, one mile
west of Monmouth, an axle on the
rear coach broke. 1t 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, ard was rocking fearfully.
The baggage car tipped and crashed
into the side timbers of the bridge,
The structure, unable to stand the Jar
and strain, gave way, and the entire
train pitched into the creek, twenty
feet below.
The stream had been swollen by the
recent heavy rains. The baggage car
fell first and the front coach fell par
italy over it, thus preventing the pas
sengers from being drowned. AS it
was, they were tumbled together at
the end of the car.
With the first crash, caused by the
broken axle, the excitement was most
intense, and when the bridge gave
way shrieks and cries arose above the
sound of breaking timbers. After the
train had fallen over the men but
slightly hurt broke open the windows
in the side of the car uppermost and
freed themselves. They then pulled
out the wounded.
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. Oliver, Pittsburg, Kan, an ell
derby woman, afflicted with heart
trouble, so severely shocked that her
condition is critical.
James Grayson, Pittsburg, Kan,
two ribs broken.
j. E. Crandall, superintendent Kan
sas and Texas Coal company.
Mrs. Harper, Parsons, Kan.
Mrs. N. Morse, Webb City, Mo.
Mrs. E. Stoworth, Webb City, Mo.
Mrs. Betsford and child, Cherryvale,
Kan.
Patrick Harmon, Engineer.
George Emerson, conductor.
Robert Black, brakeman.

Outlook for Big Autumn Trade Very
Encouraging.
New YORK. Sept. .-Bradstreet's
says favorable crop reports from near
ly all directions, and continuance of
the boom in steel and iron continues
to characterize the general trade stu
alton. Latest advices as to the corn
crop have replaced anxiety with con-
6dence in the larger estimates of the
size of that crop, and satisfaction with
the outlook for trade this autumn.
Harvesting and threshing are inter-
fering little with business in the
spring wheat country. Duluth, MIN
neapolis and St. Paul jobbers in gen
eral lines are pushing for new bust
ness In South Dakota and Washing
ton farmers show no disposition to
sell their grain. California reports
perfect weather for harvesting. The
other side to the crop outlook is found
in Texas, where worms are said to
have seriously damaged cotton in
some sections.

AT EMPORIA.
New Wing OF the State Normal School
observation-disclosures Damage,

New Wing OF the State Normal School
Demolished Other Damage
EMPoRIA, Kan, Sept. 10.-A fierce
wind and rain storm visited this city
yesterday afternoon and when it had
passed it was found that the new east
wing of the state normal school, which
was dedicated last week by Governor
Morrill, and which had cost the state
$4,000, was almost completely ruined.
The north gable end was blown in
and the roof rolled up like paper and
carried half block. Thus the entire
inside of Albert Taylor hall was ex-
posed to the fierce rain and was almost
completely ruined. The loss to the
state is estimated at S25, 900, the side
walls being badly sprung so that part
may have to be rebuilt.
Considerable other damage was done
down town. Clark's wholesale furni-
ture store was partially unroofed and
his stock of goods more or less dam
aged. Easements and cellars through
out the city are flooded. Four inches
of water fell in less than two hours.
The town of Neosho Rapids, east of
here, suffered severely from the floods
and wind. Five business houses were
destroyed and number of dwellings
damaged.
At Hartford the home of E. W.
Henry was blown away and Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry badly injured. The
Decker livery barn was blown down
and number of horses killed.
The rainfall, which aggregated eight
inches was the heaviest since 1885,
when eight and one-fourth inches fell
in one night.

Water is now up to the highest water
mark of recent years and is still ris-
ing. Many residences are submerged

New YORK, Sept. 9.-The first of the
series of races for the international
trophy, the American cup, was sailed
in Valkyrie weather Saturday and re-
suited in the triumph of the Defender,
by the wide margin of eight minutes

There was no single point of sailing
or seamanship in which the American
champion did not show a clear adj
vantage over her British rival. She
sailed faster, she kept closer in the
wind. the boat herself and the crew
exhibited more smartness in each
change of course and her Yankee skip
per showed himself a better seaman
than the Englishman.
