WRECK OF A FLYER"

SMASHED NEAR HOUSTON, TEX.
Six People Seriously Intured-TwO
Coaches Reduced to Splinters and
Two Turned Upside Down.

HOUSTON, Tex. June 2o.-The north
bound flyer of the Missouri. Kansas &
Texas was wrecked at a point ten miles
north last night. The wreck occurred at a
branch of White Oak bayou, which Is
usually dry. but has been swollen by heavy
rains. Engineer Henry Garrett felt the
bridge over the bayou sag. and applied the
air-brakes. which partially reduced the mo-
mentum The engine stuck close to the
track, while the tender. baggage car. smoker
and two coaches left the track and turned
over. Conductor Johnson walked back 10
and relief train was dispatched to the
scene with surgeons. The injured are:

JOHN JOHN GRAHAM, Can island, in.

The injured were brought to Houston, and
placed in the hospital. 1t is feared some
are injured internally. There were fifty-two
passengers on the train. and, considering
that two of the coaches were reduced 10

SILVER AND WHEAT.
Secretary Morton Shows the Price of
One Does Not Affect the Other.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 20.-Edward
Stern. Of this city. director of the BIZ
metallic Association, has had some CORE
spondence with Secretary of Agriculture
Morton. with a view of entering into a
friendly discussion of the silver question
with that gentleman. In his first letter
Secretary Morton says:
THE fact that wheat has advanced from
% cents, on the LIST day of last March, to as
high as 81 cents, in this present month OF
June, indicates that the low price of silver
has nothing to do with the price of wheat.
The advocates of the free coinage of silver
at is to l declare that their policy, IL car
ried out by enactments. will enable farmers
to get higher prices for their products. 1t
is difficult for my obtuse mind to discern
why farmer will be able TO buy, with a
bushel of wheat, more silver at $1.29 an
ounce, than he can now get with the same
amount Of wheat, when silver Is only 81
cents an ounce. There should be one stand
, ard unit OF money, a measure of the value
of all property and the instrument of CON-
merce. The legal ratio of silver to gold
should be the commercial ratio, or near
ly the commercial ratio as possible. Neither
tie United States nor the lawmaking power
of the globe concentrated can establish and
maintain a legal ratio which Is very much
different from the commercial ratio. The
commercial ratio of silver to gold at the
present moment is as to 30.

INSURANCE DECISION.
One Of Great Importance to Com.
panfes and Policy Holders.

ST. LOUIS, June 20.-An important de-
csion was handed down by Judge CALDWELL
of the United States Circuit Court, which
will have a far-reaching effect on insurance
policies. The opinion explains the case. and
is as follows
1.-The rule is that If before or after the
policy is issued the agent has notice of the
amount of insurance which the insured is
carrying or intends to carry on the property
insured, and makes no objection thereto,
the company cannot be stopped from claim
ing forfeiture after there Is loss, upon
the ground that such prior or subsequent
insurance of which its agent had notice was
not Endorsed in writing on the policy. The
company cannot play fast and loose. 1t cam
not issue policy which is valid for the
purpose of receiving the premium but in
valid when ii comes to pay a loss. To de-
liver a policy with full knowledge of facts
upon which its validity may be disputed and
then to insist upon these facts as ground
of avoidance is to attempt fraud. There
is no rule that requires the business world
to deal with insurance agents on the as
sumption that they are cheats and frauds.
The presumption IS that they are reason
ably intelligent and honest men, and the
company cannot escape payment of the loss
merely because the insured acted on this
presumption.

Cardinal-A Foreign Pope.

LONDON, June H---The Standards Rome
correspondent, discussing the attentions
which the Vatican has paid to Cardinal
Gibbons. says: THE secret history of all
this Is rather curious. Cardinal Gibbons is
a power in America, both by his sound doc
trne and by his personal influence. and
with a few exceptions holds all the Cath
olc forces there in his hand. This is not
altogether pleasing In the highest quarters
especially when coupled with the fact that
the American bishops show great spirit and
independence The Pope instituted the
apostolic delegation at Washington with a
view to checking this independence. Car
dinal Gibbons came TO voice the American
bishops disapproval of this stroke. Mean
while. the question has been carefully stud
led here. The result is that Archbishop
Satolli Will be made a cardinal. This, To-
gether with the special attentions shown to
Cardinal Gibbons, must needs tend to con-
vince him that the presentation of the
bishops memorial would be both useless and
inopportune. So 1t is hoped that he will
carry IL back TO America. These Incidents
have caused many persons to think that the
election of a foreign Pope is not impossible,
and that the Pope himself favors the idea.
THIS, also, is not displeasing to the Vatican,
because IL recalls the intransigent 20 the
necessity Of remaining united and vigilant."

The clearest minds in the pulpit have long
been free to admit that, however it may
have been in the primitive days of Sunday
journalism, there is no longer any incom-
patibility between the Sunday newspaper
and the church, and that the two may
become harmonious factors in the elevation
of the community. In line with this idea
a union has been organized in Boston for
the purpose of furnishing every week to
the. Sunday press of the country d column
article of some noted religious writer There
are possibilities of usefulness in this prod
uct How far they shall be realized will, of
course. depend largely on the degree of
skill displayed in the development of the
idea: but the fact that Ii is put forward
hopefully is in itself an indication that the
press and the pulpit are approaching con-
ditions which will render past misunder-
standings less possible in the future.
