From $4,000 to $1,000 Con-
sumed in a Wrecked Express
Car.

TGRgE HAurE. ND, March 10
Vandali Express, No. I, vas wreck
ed two miles east of this city at
1880 this morning. Conductor
Rahm had his arm fractured, and
several passengers were badly bruis-
ed. 4 head-end collision with a
switch engine caused the accident.
Both engines reared high in the air,
and the derailed carr caught fire and
burned fercely, as did also a dozen
freight cars standing on the siding.
Both engineers and fremen escaped
serious injury by jumping. The ex-
press was running at a speed OF thirty
miles an hour when the crash came.
1t is learned that the Adams Ex
press Company lost a large amount
of money in the car that was destroy
ed by fire. The money was in a safe
for New York from St. Louis. The
heat of the safe consumed the paper
money and the coin melted and ran
together. There are various state
ments as to the amount of money
destroyed-from s25,000 to $780,
900. That it was a large amount
there is no doubt, but no n con-
nected with the company will give
anything but vague information.

Gently advanced 2 - cents per pound,
and the dealers notified their customers
to-day that a further advance Of 3ceuts
had been made. aud there was almost q
panic among the smaller shoe manu-
facturers in regard to the issuance of
the notice.
The manufacturers had been caught
on the port side aud the advance has
caused them much worriment, as they
had taken their orders at a small profit,
and now the advance. right in the mid
die of the busiest shoe season e,er
known at this season Of the year, has
swept away all of their profits and they
will have to manufacture their goods
at a loss.
The leather dealers claim that the ad-
rance is due to the scarcity of hides,
aud they predict that the end of the
advance in prices is not in sight The
local dealers have their stores we'll
stocked With leather and will not be
affected but the advances in the prices

Oakland. CAL, January 12.-The plan OF
placing big estate in the hands or trustees
to carry out the post-humous purpose of the
maker of the trust does not seem to have
worked very smoothly in the estate of the
late DR.. Merritt of Oakland, who died
worth ST.. .000, 600 on reasonable estimate.
One more suit fled yesterday in the
Alameda county Superior court adds to
the complications and involves serious
charges against the su, vdying trustee. John
A. Stan1y. s..
The allegations in the complaint fled
yesterday, among other things charge that
Stanley demanded of Mrs. Garcelon that
she should pay him 5000 before he would
undertake the trust, and that she paid him
SEQ, ,oCo in cash and cancelled note for $4,000
which Stanly owed the estate.
1t is charged that at the time the trust
deed was ma lie Stanly was Mrs. -Garcelon's
legal and con ddential adviser. and that
Purington, the other trustee. was her rela-
tive,sliying in the same house with her and
acting as her attorney-in-fact. She was old
and feeble, alraest at the point of death,
and it is charged that she was completely
dominated by the men to whom she gave
the absolute coLtro1 of the property.
It is ON this ground of undue influence,
said to have been exercised by persons
holding fiduciary relation to Mrs. Garce-
Ion. that the complaint filed yesterday asks
to have the trustee set aside.

Judge w illiam Henry Dewitt is
ono Of the most prominent lawyers and
Judges in East Tennessee. He is a
leading member of the Southern
Methodist church in Chattano oga. In
legal business and social circles he
stands high, and his statements, says
the Chattanooga Press, are regarded
of special weight because of his ven
cradle character, he being now65
years old.
He has held several prominent po-
sitions in legislative and judicial
capacity, having served as member
of the Southern Congress at Rich
mond during the war, and since that
time as Judge Of the chancery court,
one of the highest offices in judicial
practice next to the supreme court.
He was admitted to the bar in 1880.
In 1855 he was elected to the state Leg
islature but declined reelection.
After his removal to East Tennessee
he was appointed special chancellor by
Gov. Taylor, and filled the Office for
two years. He has successfully prac-
ticed before the supreme court Of the
United states for years. In recent
years, owing to the heavy work he has
performed, he has been subject to
nervousness, and his attention has
been called at various times, both by
friends and physicians, to the need OF
fortifying himselfagainst physical col
lapse. His attention was called to
