Smashed Three Box Cars.

Early last Friday morning an l.
a. N. South bound freight was wreck
ed near Trenton and three cars were
ditched with baled hay and the pro-
vender was scattered in every direc-
ton. None of the trainmen were
hurt. The accident was caused by a
drawhead coming loose and dropping
down on the track. The crossties for
a distance of two hundred yards were
cut to pieces and the track was bad
ly torn up. A wrecker was soon on
hand, but three hours were consum-
ed in clearing the debris, throwing
the two south bound morning pas
senger trains late about two hours.
The company's loss will possibly be
less than thousand dollars. The
wreck occurred near the spot where

FoRr WORTH, Tex, April 21.-All
of Texas has needed rain SO the great
evangelist Dwight Moody, called
upon his audience of 5000 Christians
to pray fervently that the food gates
might be opened. This was at 3 p.
m. to-day. Tonight, when the tab
ernacle was crowded by 10000 people
from Fort Worth and surrounding
cities, Mr.. Moody announced that
word had come from several points
that rain had fallen.
A few minutes later the storm burst
on Fort Worth and torrents of rain
fell. Then Mr.. Moody gave thanks
to God and called upon the congre-
cation to join in singing Coronation"
-"All hail the power of Jesus name,
let angels PROSTATE fall"
The song had barely surged forth
from the 10000, voices when a crack
ing noise was heard, then part of
the roof sank and the rafters gave
way, and the heavy timbers and
boards, covered with tar and gravel,
came down ON portion of the con-
gregation.
There was panic. Scores upon
scores of women tainted, some men
lost their heads and piled pell-mell
over those near them.
Nj. Moody grasped the situation,
and moved to the middle of the plat
form, lifted both hands to heaven,
moving his arms slowly to and fro,
His attitude and GOODNESS stopped the
panic and men began to go to work
to rescue those in danger. A
drenching rain was falling, but they
worked hard and the wounded were
soon taken out and carried to their
homes or to houses near by.
Seven people were seriously hurt
and about forty others were more or
less injured. There were no fatal in
| juries.

The Deadly Rush.

GUTHRIE, o. T., May 26.-GoveFnor
r ,nfroW Is back from the KiCkapoo
country, where he witnessed the run for
claims. He says soOners got almost every
claim in the reservation.
Many reports OF accidents and fights
are coming in to day. One Of the great
est rushes into the country was south Of
Chandler from the east line, where over
1900 people rode and drove over rorgh
hills and through precipitous rsvlnes,
regardless Of life or limb, and not score
got anything. Mrs. Hester Farnsworth,
Of R3d Rock, was thrown from her horse
and had her leg broken; John Fairfield
was run over by q team RI d killed, and
George Oster was fatally injured by his
horse falling over a wire fence. Mark
Farley was accidentally shot through
the body, and Is year old boy named
Evans killed by kick from q runaway
mule. A white man named Shields had
his skull crushed by blow from q club
in the hands Of John Shields, a negro,
who is now in jail. An idea of the long
legal fights that are to follow this open,
ing may be gained from the fact that
the first man to file in the Guthrie land
Office already has four contests filed
against him.

he is far past the retiring age. Speak

other effort being made by the advocates
Of the inComs-tax to have that law de-
ClRred constitutional, Justice Field re.
marked that from the present outlook
Justice Jackson would DO the frst to be
retired from the bsnch, and that be-
cause of his sge it looked a. il he Jus
tiCe Field would be the next TO 60.

the direct effect Of the decision to-day is
to give to certain kinds Of property q

that is inconsistent with the fundS.

Of the people upon whom rests the
larger part Of the burdens Of the govern
ment, and who ought not to be subjected
TO the dominion Of aggregated wealth
any more than the property Of the Coun-
try should be at the mercy Of the law

The sentiment embodied in the fol-
lowing part of Justice Browns opinion
runs through all the dissenting opinions: {:
Respectful explanation will be inspired
by q narrow aud technical explanation
Of law limiting the power Of congress.
The decision involves nothing less than
the surrender Of the taxing power OF the
monied class. While / have no doubt
that congress will find some means OF
surmountinR the present CrisiF, my fear
is that in some moment of national peril
this decision will rise up to Rrustrste it's
will and pRrslyze Its arm, l hope it
may not prove the first step toward the

himself for sponging on community said,

Unquestionably the largest audience
that ever assembled in Evans opera house
gathered there last evening to enjoy the

standing room at the rear of the hall and
the doors had TO be closed, turning many

p. Cuddihy was master of ceremonies,
and made a very neat Introductory adj
dress. He welcomed the large audience
and spoke eloquently upon the intense
patriotism of the IRISH race and their love
of America as we'll as of their native land.
Mr.. Cuddihy, who is one of the represent
alive men of his race, and one of Ana

The orchestra selected and directed by
Professor Kennicott, gave perfect salts

"Songs of All Nations" a medley, con-

He said that alone of all the people of

we celebrate tonight grew up in this love.
He saw the land of his birth, the fairest
and brightest, yet her people were OPP
pressed and her resources sapped
He took up the oft repeated
struggle and entered into il with all the
great enthusiasm of his nature. He gave
up all, his life. his hearts love, his pros
poets. Had he lived and succeeded he
would have been Ireland's Washington,
