citation to Regulate Business-An I'm
portant Combination.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 1S.-The directors of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany have formally ratified the new
trunk line agreement to which eight
other trunk lines are parties. The
agreement has been under considera-
tion for long time.
The new compact succeeds the old
trunk line pool" which was dissolved
by the interstate commerce law, and
is regarded as the most important
agreement ever made between rail
roads in the United States Its object
is the regulation of passenger and
freight tariffs and the equitable distri-
button of business to competitive lines.
1t is framed with such care as to be in
entire harmony with the Interstate
commerce law. This law, tending to
stimulate composition, has caused the
annual loss of millions OF dollars to
great railroad systems through rate
cutting, TcDhJco dllu blShCb oSulpi

NO REVISION NOW.

Episcopal Church Council Postpones for
Three Years Action on An Important
Question.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Oct. 16.-The
great question of revision, upon which
the leading minds of the cpiscopate,
the clergy and the laity of the Episco-
pal church in the United States have
been engaged for three years past;
which has been productive OF tons OF
literature appealing to reason and to
prejudice, and which has caused the
eyes of the entire church in this coun-
try to be directed toward the present
general conference, has been shelved
until more convenient time. Recog-
nizing from the experience of the past
two weeks the utter futility of any fur
ther effort to so complete considera-
ton of the revision that it might be
sent down to the dioceses for their ae-
ton, the house of deputies yesterday,
by an almost unanimous vote, decided
to refer the entire matter to a special
committee of its own members, with
instructions to report at the triennial
conference at Washington in 1898. The
test BALLOT upon the proposition to
shelve was 1877 to 90, less than one-half
of the delegates being in their seats,
but later, when the house had filed up
and it was put as the substantive mo-
ton, scarcely dozen voices were heard
in the negative.
The house of bishops last evening de-
cided to erect Alaska into a missionary
jurisdiction and to proceed at once to
the nominating Of a presbyter to be
elected bishop. A considerable portion
of the missionary district of Texas was
also detached and added to that of New
Mexico
The report of the committee on the
state of the church put the delegates
in good humor at the outset OF the
days proceedings. 1t showed that IL
the last three years the increase II
communicates had been 12 per cent
and in clergy per cent.

A CENTURY OF LIFE.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Celebrates the Centen-

Fort WAYNE, Ind, Oct. 16.-With
blowing of whistles, changing OF bells
and booming of 100 guns, the centen-
NAL celebration of Fort Wayne's set
tlement was ushered in Tuesday morn
ing. Never in its history has the city
donned so gay gown. The principal
streets are overhung with huge arches
which look like gates of marble in the
bright sun.
At $3.50 a. M the exposition hall, with
its war relics and curiosities, its art
and industrial displays, was formally
opened. In the afternoon the great
parade of local and visiting cyclists
took place. The city is rapidly filling
with visitors and the capacity of the
hotels and lodging houses is already
severely tested. Exercises were held
last night at the Princess rink, the
largest hall in the city.

FOUND A GREAT RIVER.

Important Discovery Made by Canadian
Geologist Who Explored an Unknown
Country.
OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. IA river larg-
er than any other stream in the prov
ince of Quebec, vast area OF timber
lands, an unknown country suitable
for agricultural purposes, is what DIR.
Robert Bell, assistant director of the
geological survey, who has just re-
turned from a trip to st. James bay,
reports having discovered. DIR. Bell,
accompanied by Alexander Barclay,
left Ottawa on this trip about the end
of June. Their route was direct north
from Ottawa to Rupert's House on st.
James bay, by the most direct water
course. The trip by water was nearly
800 miles. Five hundred miles of this
route was through an unexplored re-
gion, unknown to anyone but Indian
hunters. Shortly after the two men
crossed the height of land they found
an unknown river, which gradually as
sumed q great size. They followed this
river to James bay. The river has
three large branches, one of which has
it's source north of Three Rivers, an
other in the Lake st. John region, the
| third near Lake Miseassini.
This new river, for which the In
dians have no name. is much largeI

GRAVE COMPLICATIONS.

They May Follow Demand on England
by This Government That the Monroe
Doctrine be Respected.
WASHINGTON, Oct 1S.-Even a ter
the practical confirmation from British
sources of the statement that the state
department has addressed strong let
ter upon the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute to Ambassador Bayard for deliv-
cry to the British foreign office, the
officials at the state department re-
fuse to make any admission touching
the subject.
The guarded and evidently inspired
comment of leading British newspa-
pers upon this letter has attracted Sc
rious attention among the diplomatic
body here, and they see in it good
deal of significance and possibly a
threat of grave complications to follow.
The statement that is held to be Of
particular significance is that the Brit
ish government regards the views set
forth in Secretary Olney's letter as so
important that long time must be
taken for it's consideration.
AS there is nothing new to Great
Britain, especially in an enunciation in
mild form of the Monroe doctrine, it
is assumed here that the only purpose
of delaying a response is to afford the
British government an opportunity to
consult some of the other great Euro
pean powers upon this subject.
Most of these powers are concerned
in the fortunes of American states,
some directly, as France and Spain,
through their colonial possessions, and
others through heavy Investments o.
their citizens in securities and conces
sions
Therefore, it is believed by some dip
lomats here to be within the range o
possibility that Great Britain may hav'
in contemplation a union with some o
the European powers in a joint refusa
to accept the doctrines laid down b,

DEATH AT A CURVE.

Collision on the Pennsylvania Railroad
Results In Two Men Being KilBsd- Fatal
Injuries to Another and WouOSdAng OF
-Four.
ALTOONA, Pa, Get. 17.-The water
famine in this city is responsible for
bad wreck, the loss of two and prob
ably three lives and the serious INJURY
of several trainmen and passengers
The wreck occurred on the Holidays
burg branch of the Pennsylvania rail
road at Allegheny Furnace, at the
southern end of this city, yesterday
morning at $40 o'clock. At the time
stated train of tank cars which had
been out ON the branch road for Load
of water, crossed over a. switch for the
Henrietta passenger train, which was
closely following. Before the water
train could rightly be gotten in motion
again the passenger train, which was
running eight minutes late and trying
to make up time, came dashing around
a sharp curve in dense fog, and into
the engine of the water train, which
engine was at the rear of the train
and acting as pusher- The two en-
gines were completely telescoped and
when the shock was over were stand
ing on their fire boxes, with the front
wheels locked together high in the air.
The shock was terrific one and all
the passengers were thrown about in
the most violent violent manner, scarce
ly any escaping without some injury,
but none of the passengers sustained
fatal injury. The trainmen did not
escape so fortunately. j. 0. Woodring,
of Tyrone, an engineer, but at the time
acting as front brakeman on the water
train, was caught between two water
tanks and literally crushed to pieces
He leaves n widow and two children.
Fireman w. E. Good, of the passenger

WILL LOSE THEIR HEADS.

Seventeen Participants In Attacks Upon
Missionaries in China are to be ] 1ec lted'
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The secretary
of state has received belated tele-
gram from Minister DENLY, dated Pc
king, October II, substantially as fol-
lows: Seventeen criminals will be
executed at Ku Cheng. The yamen
Cboard of foreign affairs) agrees that
all leaders shall be executed, all par
ticipants sentenced to impris on nent
and ali implicated tried. The com
mission of inquiry will probably be ad-
journed. An imperial decree has been
issued referring the implicated sze-
chuen officials to board for punish
ment."
The information given in Mr. Dem
by's dispatch gives great satisfaction
to the state department, as it shows
that the efforts which this government
and that of Great Britain have been
making to secure redress for the ku
Cheng and Cheng Tu massacres have
been successful. A commission con-
sisting of American and British OIL
cials has been investigating the case
where ten British subjects were killed
and one American, Miss Mabel Hart
ford, of Dover, N. H., wounded. The
riots which resulted in the wholesale
murders occurred in August last, and
both Great Britain and the United
States took prompt measures for lnves-
tigation and redress.
The Szechuen officials mentioned in
the DENLY telegram as having been re-
ferred to board for punishment are
accused by American and British mis-
sionaries of being responsible for the
riots at Cheng Tu and its vicinity
These riots occurred in June and were
much more extensive than that at kr
Cheng. The viceroy of the province OF
Szechuen was said to be directly re
sponsible for them and he was bitterly
assailed in letters sent to the state de
partment by missionaries for refusing
to furnish them with protection while
mobs were sacl1ing their houses A re
cent report that he had been appointed
commissioner to investigate the Chi
nese attacks on the foreigners created
much excitement among the missionar.
element in China. 1t was subsequent
ly shown to be untrue.

Daring Burglar and Piucl,y Constable.

PoRT JERvIs, N. Y, Oct. 16.-John
Flaherty, notorious burglar and thief,
jumped from an Erie train when it was
a mile west of this place Tuesday
morning. Flaherty was being taken
to the Albany pen. Although the train
was running at the rate of twenty-five
miles an hour, Constable Philip Carr,
who had Flaherty in charge, jumped
from the cars and caught Flaherty be-
fore he had gone great distance. The
train had been stopped in the mean
time and Carr boarded it with his pris-
oner, whom he strapped to a scat to

A Dishonest Cashier and Careless Bank
Examiner Succeed In Completely Wreck
ing II Kansas Bank.
FORT SCOTT, Kan, Oct. 1S.-Ihe ag-
rrepate of the embezzlement OF eX-
Cashier Coleman, of the State bank, is
declared by Vice President Stewart to
be fully S5O,OOO. This has renewed the
excitement and shattered the hopes OF
many of the depositors and all OF the
stockholders. The amount stolen is
two-thirds of the paid-up capital stock,
and more than the other third will be
required to collect on the securities.
Coleman literally robbed the bank OF
all the cash except $4,000 of the reserve
fund and realized on $4,000 Of the best
securities by rediscounting them.
The recreant cashier has made a
statement to Vice President Stewart,
telling him which accounts he took the
money from and says that most OF 1T
was taken since he made his last state
ment in July. The fact that the rob
berry was systematically perpetrated
under the very eyes of the officers and
that the defalcation SO far exceeds the
sum first announced has created con-
sternation. Coleman will be arrested
as soon as he RECEIVERS sufficiently to be
taken to Jail.

Ended Ia the baseball season,
Gone the days Of muffs and fouls,
And for Joy we have good reason
Now no more the ball crank ho wis;
But, alasl ere we recover
From the irk OF baseball strife
Comes the football fiend from cover
To renew the fog Of life
From his summer-long seclusion,
With q mop Of scrambled hair,
Careless Of his bold intrusion,
Comes the terror from his lair;
He will drive US all distracted
With his gabble Of the game,
Wherein daily are enacted
Scenes which make plain death seem tame.
Obi that some fell power would free US
From this creature gaunt and grim,
Yea, that cen screaming cyclone
Would arise and gobble him;
Seize him, shake him, twist and break him
OF his wild and wicked ways
Whlrl him of to unknown regions
From the reach Of mortal gaze.

Some live their life in sprlng-their flying
feet
Speed after joy and bind him prisoner fast;
Grief knows them not their fears are sweet,
A tremulous April cloud soon overpast.
They roam at ease in loves delightful land,
And sing their songs beneath the rainbow'd
skies
For some God keeps His gifts with careful
hand,
And hope turns from them with averted eyes.
They wake and toll through tedious day and
night,
With patient hearts they climb the uphill
path
Then OF sudden, all the worlds a-light
With the rich splendors OF the aftermath:
Life finds its crown, for though the spring be
gone,
