Curious Echoes,
From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The most remarkable echo in the

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The most remarkable echo in the
world, being both natural and arti-
fetal, is that which several years ago
was discovered to exist in a suspen-
sion bridge over the Menai River in
the Sales district in France. If, for
examples hammer is struck against
one of the abutment piers, the sound
is not only repeated by the pier at
the other end, which is about $50
feet away, but by the iron Orders,
and even the water which vibrates
with the shocks. Each stroke of the
hammer produces five successive
echoes per second, which are perfectly
distinct. The effect thus produced
is a sort of metallic thrill, sonorous
and strident.
The castle of Simonette, which is
located two miles from Milan, has an
echo which repeats 60 times the re-
port of a gun, even when the atmos-
phere is foggy and not favorable to
such phenomena. In Sussex county,
in England, not far from the Church
of Shipley, is found another echo,
which is perhaps the most remark
able of them all. 1t repeats distinct
ly a sentence composed of Is and
even 90 sylIables. TIE echo in the
Pantheon of Paris is so fierce that
the dropping If a cane sounds like
the report of a gun.
Many stubborn and aggravating

Eram the s.. Lonis Post. Dispatch

From the Sl. LOUIS ItsL~ DAspAiNA'
At a conference of the State Com
mittee, composed of about 1875 OF
the leading Populists of the State, a
plan was formed for work during the
coming campaign. The me, ting
was called to order by State Chair
rnan A. Rozeli, after which DR.. J. c.
Kelly of Brookfield was elected
chairman and J. Weller Long Of
Kirksville secretary of the meeting.
State Chairman Rozell answered a
call to outline the work done by the
party in the last campaign. Then
followed a general discussion rela-
tive to the needs OF the party, and a
plan was outlined by Frank Ricbey
Of st. Louis for the purpose OF
strengthening party organization
and raising campaign funds for cir
culating reform literature and keep
ing lecturers in the field. The COM
mittee expects to begin the PresiGen,
tial campaign at once
The plan, as proposed by Mr..
Richey, is to request contributions
of $40 each from all the leading
Populists in the State, by which
means a fund of several thousand
dollars is expected to he raised.

PLUNGES INTO A RIVER.
Three of the Crew Are Buried
Beneath Tons of Coal
and Debris.
FELL WITHOUT A WARNING.
Fire Had Destroyed Part OF the
Structure Before the Train
Arrived.

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, Aug. 1.-A bad
wreck occurred on the Ohio Southern
road at 80 o'clock this afternoon. At this
point there is two-span bridge across the
river. The structure gave way and an en-
gine and twenty-five freight cars dropped
twenty-five feet to the water below, which
is thirty teet deep. The coal cars were
piled up in the river.
Engineer Radcliffe, Fireman Houser and
Brakeman Hincox, who were all in the
cab at the time the bridge collapsed, went
down without a moments warning and
were drowned. They were buried in the
river under about 400 tons of coal. They
all lived here. The rest of the train crew
escaped.
1t is thought that four tramps who were
stealing a ride were killed.
A wrecking-train was sent out and the
debris is being removed. The bridge had
caught fire some time before and had partly
burned away when the train struck it. The
three drowned men who were in the cab
saw the smoke, but thought nothing of it,
and consequently no effort was made to
stop the train.
The body of the engineer was found
pinned in the cab. Efforts to find the
bodies of the other men have been unsuc-
cesSful

FRANK M. PIXLEY.
From a photograph

ious watchers at his bedside knew that the
veteran jurist, statesman and editor was
passing. DR.. Rosenstirn, the family ply
sician, from time to time held the pulse OF
the dying man and felt the circulation
grow weaker.
There were present Mrs. William Pix
ley, wife of a deceased brother, and Mrs.
81. E. Topping, his sister, and her family.
Mr.. Pixley had been suffering for a long
time from complication of ailments and
it was well known that the end was not far
off. He had long since given up his edi-
torial and literary work and confined him.
self to his residence and to the care of the
physicians.
Toward the last he was given to long
spells of silence and would sit on the
veranda and look thoughtfully away over
the distant hills. 1t is believed that the
recent death of his favorite niece, Mrs.
Weller, from an overdose OF morphine,
had much to do with Fastening the end of
life.
Mrs. Pixley, who has herself been seri-
ously i'll, sustained the shock of her be
reavement with fortitude, and according
to the physicians accounts, was resting
easily at late hour.

sILVERITES IN REVOLT.
Incensed at the Action of the
Recent State Conven-
ton.
RULED BY CLEVELAND MEN.
Interests Of the Party Sacrificed by
a Horde Of Federal APP
pointeeS.

OMAHA, NEBR., Aug. u.-Specials to
the World Herald from various points in
Iowa indicate formidable revolt against
the anti-silyer platform adopted by the
Iowa Democratic State Convention at
Marshalltown last week. 1t is believed
by some observers that many Democrats
will vote the Populist ticket and that
others will not vote at all. At Council
Bluffs two members of the county COM
mittee, among them w. II. Ware, repre-
sentative of that county in the Legisla-
ture, have resigned, refusing to act with
the party, though declaring they will not
act with any other party, and it is said
that the entire committee will resign.
Among the most outspoken of the dis
affected ones is Judge w. G. James, who
points with pride to a voting record of
over fifty years, in which there is not a
single instance when he failed to vote a
Democratic ticket. Interviewed last night
he said:
IF the declarations of the Marshalltown
convention are true then we have been mis-
representing, abusing and lying about the
Republican party ever since 1889. Their
financial declaration is identical with the
principles of the Republican party as laid
down in every State convention since the
crime of 1873. There is no difference to-
day between the two parties, and as the
Republicans have always been consistent
on this subject, the acknowledgment of the
Iowa Democrats that their antagonists are
right gives them tremendous advantage
and / will watch them win another victory
in Iowa this fall without any sorrow. do
not say will vote the Republican ticket,
but only that / will not vote with the Dem
ocrats, and as / am not Populist and
have no patience with their vagaries, will
do what the great majority of the Demo.
Gratis around here will do-not vote at all.
There were 129 Federal office-holders in
that State convention and nearly all oi
them were there by proxy. They repre-
sented Cleveland and his gold bugs and not
the Democratic party in Iowa."
J. ]. Shea, chairman Of the Democratic
free silver committee, and last year can
didate for clerk of the Supreme Court on
the Democratic State ticket, is out in an
open letter, in which he charges the Fed
eral office holders in the convention with
all sorts of threats, bulldozing, cajolerv
and bribery in defeating the free silver
amendment. He advises Democrats not
to bolt, but 10 keep up the fight. In con-
clusion he says:
"Next year we must meet the same foe,
the same men and the same organization.
1t will be fight to death-either the SER
pent or the party must die. 1 have abid-
ing faith in the death of the snake; that
the people will again assume control and
that the self-appointed bosses will be rel
egated to deserved obscurity. Until then
the duty of good Democrat is to wait
watch and work to organize to overthrow
and rebuke the gang now in control"

ATTACKED BY FANATICS.
Experience of a Girl Medical
Missionary in the Riots at
HankOW.
Pelted With Mud and Stones While
Returning From Visit to
Patient.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Aug. ia
letter has been received here from Miss
Segrid Helgeson, Norwegian girl who
went as medical missionary to China a
year ago. The letter is dated June IA, at
Hankow, on the Yang-tse-Kiang. She
writes:
"Riots and unlawful acts occur daily.
Six provinces rot far from here of late
have been devastated; that is, property be-
longing to foreigners destroyed by fire and
other means. Many lives have been lost
and innumerable arrests have followed.
We are apprehensive just now, even here.
Telegraph wires are down, and we have
not had any communication with other
settlements for some time.
Possibly this is my last as well as my
first letter home. But you must not think
that l am weakening or fear death. God
is with me, if l live or die. Yesterday l
visited one of my patients, and when on
my way home was attacked by a mob
throwing stones and mud. was struck
on the head. 1t made me feel pretty bad
for the time, but to-day l am all right.
One of my former patients happened to
come along and by telling them that was
a harmless doctor, saved my life, which I
would surely otherwise have lost"

VICTORY FOR QUAY.
Result of the Republicans Primaries In
PennsYlcd7id.

Result of the Republican Primaries In
Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE
result of yesterdays primary Republican
elections in Montgomery, York, Adams,
Perry and Juanita counties and the con-
vention in Schuylkill County was gen.
orally favorable to Senator Quay and the
administration. The Schuylkill conven-
ton elected its seven delegates to the State
convention with instructions for Quay.
Full returns from Montgomery County as
sure the seven delegates from that county
to Quay. No report could be secured to-
night from Adams and Juanita counties OF
the result, but the indications are that
Quay will get the delegates from the two
counties. The administration secured
Perry County's one delegate and the result
in York County is still doubtful. York
has five delegates and the administration
claims they have them all.
None of the administration leaders were
in the city and no expression of opinion
from their side could be obtained of the
result of Yesterdays election. Senator
Quay was much pleased over the result and
said it only confirmed his statements that
he would win the fight.
The injury to his heel that Mr.. Quay
suffered at Brigantine some weeks ago
broke out afresh to-day and tonight the
Senator returned to his home at Beaver.
He will probably not return here until the
Philadelphia primaries are held on the
Goth of the month.
