TRIPLE COLLISION.
Twenty-Five Passengers Injured, Five
Fatally.

Fatally.
A wreck on the Pittsburg & wastern
railway, at Valencia, twenty-five miles
OF Pittsburg, Pa, at noon MONDAY,
resulted IL the destruction OF three
passenger coaches, eighteen freight
cars and the injury of twenty-five pas
sengers, five of whom will probably
ole.
The injured were all taken to the
Allegheny general hospital in Pitts
burgh, where every attention possible
was given them. The serious cases are
still there, while the others were either
removed to their homes in Allegheny
or continued on their journey. The
wreck was peculiar one and involved
three trains-the local freight No. 81,
the through freight No. %, and the
east bound passenger train No. IA,
from Chicago. The local was standing
at Valencia station, unloading freight,
when the through freight came to the
top OF the grade just east of Valencia.
The engineer, who was on the outlook
of No. 25, put on the air brakes but
they refused to work and his train
went crashing into the local. Just
at the time the two freights
collided. the passenger train came
along on the east-bound track and
was struck by the freight cars which
were derailed at that moment. The
engine and baggage car of the passen-
ger train got through safely aud broke
away from the balance OF the train.
The first passenger coach, in which
we're great many ladies, was crushed
by carload of oil-well tubing. The
tubing was thrown with terrific force
in every direction, causing most of the
wounds received by the passengers.
The wreckage was piled up twenty We
or thirty feet high in places. The
railroad people say the whole trouble
was caused by the failure of the air
brakes to work while the through
freight was on the hill.

FENCE 400 MILES LONG.
Battles o. the Australians With the De-
81 stfuctive Rabbit.

Battles o, the Australians With the De-
struetive Rabbit.
The New South Wales government,
1t may be remembered, offered rward
OF $125,000 to any person or persons
who could suggest an efficient method
Of getting rid of the rabbit; buf, al
though this liberal reward led to the
receipt Of no fewer than 2,i;Do 1chemes
from all parts Of the world, none of
them was regarded as satisfactory, and
the offer was withdrawn.
The final outcome Of royal commits
sions, Of intercolonial conferences and
of the testing of every practical method
OF determination, is that the most effec-
tual method of dealing with the evil is
found to be the construction Of rabbit
proof netting, by means Of which the
animals can be kept from acres not
yet infested, can be shut of from food
supplies and can be more effectually
dealt with locally.
The length of some of these fences
Is enormous. There is one starting at
Barringun, on the Queensland border.
and following the Main Trunk line
from Bourke to Corowa-a distance Of
407 miles; and there is another along
the entire western boundary Of New
South Wales-a distance of 346 miles.
The Queensland government, toe, has
erected a similar fence along a consid-
cradle portion Of the northern bound
airy of New South Wales, but the sur
veyor general of Queensland, In the re-
port already referred to, says that "the
rabbits must have come through the
fence in mobs and droves of innumer-
able multitudes at some time" and
thus have established themselves in
Queensland as well.
This, Of course, is the weak point in
regard to fences, which are liable to
freak down In places, more especially
il' times Of food and where they
cross over creeks, while keeping of
constant supervision over the fences,
SO that immediate repairs can be done
when openings appear, is quite imprac-
ticable where the distances are so
great. In many instances countless
thousands Of rabbits have been seen on
one side Of fence dead or dying of
starvation, after eating all the avail
able food supplies, and leaping up at
the fence in their attempts to surmount
It. One can imagine how they would
rush through in the event Of any open
Ing appearing, and how a single break
in the fence might be the doom OF q
country not previously infested.

ATTACKED BY INDT1Ny
An American Exploring Party Wiped
Out In Peru.


Out In Peru.
The State Department has received
word of sanguinary conflict between
party of explorers in Peru aud a
band of Peruvian Indians. The report
is made by Consul Leo Jastremski, at
Callao, Peru, who received the details
from United States consular agent at
an interior point. The exploring party
was led by an American named Cooper.
There were ten in the party, including
two Germans, who are the only ones
who have thus far reported. The men
lost their way in the dense forests, and
after great suffering from hunger,
were attacked by band from the
Campo tribe of Indians. The consul
adds: ''They had barely time TO pre-
pare for defense when the savages at
tackled them. The party fought with
their rifles as best they could, till four
of their number having fallen, the two
Germans sought safety in fight. For
some time, as they made their way off
in the darkness, they heard the re-
peated cracks of Mr.. Cooper's rifle,
and it was their belief that he must
finally have been captured by the saw
ages.

PANY, OF PHILADELPHIA, ASSIGNS.
May BE n Sequel to the Recent "Bear-
ing'' of Citixens' Street-Railroad
Company stock.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 3.-The Solicitors
Loan and Trust Company, OF this city, Of
which Richard w. Clay is president, made
an assignment to-day. The trouble came
through outside operations of j. r. Ritter,
who has charge of the company's real
estate department. He Is said to have
foated a series of drafts in the Trades
mems National Bank of this city for a
New York man. Two weeks ago President
Clay, Of the trust company, gave the
Tradesmen's Bank bond Of $4,000 to in
demnify it against loss. This bond was
given without the knowledge of the di-
rectors, and when the members of the
board learned of 1t they repudiated the
action of the president, and, in view of the
circumstances, decided to make an assign
ment In order to learn the true condition
of the company. An examination of the
books show that the assets are all right.
The assignment was made jointly to
Effingham b. Morris, president of the
Girard Trust Company, and Colonel Cuyler,
a director of the involved company.
Mr. Ritter is said to have been dealing In
the stock of the Indianapolis Traction Com
pany, which has declined recently from IS
to 24H. 1t is rumored that the cashier of
big bank who was operating with Ritter
was forced to resign his position. the
assets OF about s., 100000. most Of which is
tied up in Western MORTGAGES 1t was az
$500, 900. It's stock recently dropped about
$40 a share; Col. Dewitt Cuyler stated
money in his speculative ventures. but Mr..
Cuyler was unable to say, in view of this
sl5O, coo bond to the Tradesmen's Bank. After
the board of directors had repudiated the
bond the Tradesmens Bank threatened to
bring suit to recover the money, and this.
the assgnees state, was what caused the
assignment. 1t was stated at the office of
the trust company to-day that Mr.. Ritter
is i'll at his home in this city Neither m ne
former cashier, j. A Mckee, Of the Trades
mems National Bank; is said to have cashed
Ritter's drafts for 100000. In consequence
of his connection with the latter's specula-
tions he was recently compelled to resign
Ritter is lying at the point Of death. The
meeting at which the directors decided to
repudiate the action of their president was
created a sensation in financial circles.
