Southern Railways sent out relief trains
loaded with physicians and everything
possible to alleviate the sufferings of
those able to get away from the reach of
the flames Many of the dead were
charred completely beyond recognition.
The exact number of those who per-
ished is not known, but it is thought II
Will reach thirty-five.
To cap the climax, one OF the rellef
trains which left here ran into the rear
end of the wrecking train. which was
stopped about 80 feet from the bridge,
and came near knocking 1t an on top
of the burning train. In this accident
the following were injured: Sam Eastls.
will de- William Rast, viii die; Wood
Campbell leg broken; Charles l.. Stone,
legs badly hurt; John Rittenbury, ankle
broken.
CHICAGO. Dec 27.-One of the sur
vivors of the wreck told one OF the
physicians that just after the tram
pitched into the abyss three rough look
ing men came from the woods near the
wreck and went through the coaches
as much as the flames would admit
them. and then made hurriedly off. 1t
is also stated that these men aided the
flames by setting fire to other portions
of the wreck.
1t is confidently believed that the
train was wrecked by these three men,
and that the work was accomplished by
removing a rail on the bridge. The
weight of the engine humping across
the ties is supposed to have made the
hrid oa give way The theory of a re-
moved rail is supported by the fact
that the engine was found with lever
reversed and steam shut off. If the
bridge had simply collapsed the engine,
they say, would have hit on the piers
and broken its front, but the wreck
shows that it did not strike anything
that way.
Thousands of persons have besfeged
the railroad offices all day inquiring for
friends they thought might have been
on the train, but the officials can give
them no solace, as the bodies are abso-
lutely unrecognizable Superintendent

The country in which the acts have

that he has found successors who per-
petrate like deeds and find refuge in

UNITED STATES CITIZENS.
THOSE AT JERUSALEM PROTEST
AGAINST A RECENT ORDER.
They Claim That it Exposes Them to
Danger by Withdrawing Their
Country's Protection.

NEW YORK, Dec. PA letter to the
New York Times" postmarked Jerusa-
lem, December s, 1896, which was de-
livered yesterday, contained the report
of a meeting held on November Both by
citizens of the United States, living in
Jeresulam, to take action in protest
against an order revoking certain priv
ileges of protection enjoyed Under the
prestige of United States citizenship.
The meeting formulated an address
and instructed a committee to forward
it to President Cleveland. The address
begins:
AT this moment when this nation
(Turkey) is shaking with apprehension
of civil discord and war, the situation of
the United States citizens resident here
is made extremely perilous by the un
timely orders issued to our diplomatic
officers to withhold all Government pro-
lection from those whom they may
reasonably suspect of not having the in
tention of returning to the United
States.
Our Government must certainly
know that independent of such an order
the status of the United States citizens
in Turkey although based upon the
rights. privileges and immunities grant
ed them by treaty is already non sisti
potest We therefore protest against
the application of this ORDER
In conclusion the protestants say
among other things: I'VE consider
therefore that this order was issued in
contravention to existing treaties and
that it eXpatriateS loyal citizens and
that the declarations therein that the
fact of a person owning real estate here
is to be taken as prima facie evidence of
an intention never to return to the
United States is an assumption war
ranted neither by law nor reason. since
some of us who never expected or de-
sired to own one foot of land in this
country were compelled to accept land
in lieu of our claims from banks recently
declared bankrupt and will have to re-
tain possession of it until such time as
we may be able to dispose Of it.
1.-The laws governing United States
citizens domiciled in Turkey and in
semi i-civiliZed countries differ most es-
sentiaIly from those which govern our
countrymen in Christian countries. We
are here within the extra territorial jur-
isdiction of the United States and sub
iect to its authority alone. Such au-
thority over its citizens never will be
and is not exercised by the United States
in any country in Europe.
1--WE therefore contend that this order
is in contravention to law and is not
applicable to us while the existing treaty
between the United States and the Sui
tan remains in force

CANOVAS' OPINION.
He Thinks Spain Can Attend to Cuba
Without Our Assistance.

LONDON. Dec. pa dispatch from
Madrid to the Central News says that
Senior Canoyas del Castillo, the Prime
Minister, denies that negotiations have
been or will be opened with the United
States looking to the pacification of
Cuba.
The Prime Minister holds that the
Cuban question is one of internal pol
itics which in no wise concerns the
United States or any other foreign
power, and he is still confident that
Spain is fully able to suppress the in
surrection in Cuba without asking for
or accepting the good offices of any
Government to secure fhat end.

NEWARK IN. j., Dec. 27.-"What
this country needs" said United States
Senator James Smith in an interview
vival. would not demand more reve-
nue.. l would urge greater economy.
Il think the Cuban question has spent
its force. The people who wanted war
with Spain thought that it would help
the CubanS, and the jingoiSts are, l
think convinced that the right to act in
an emergency of this kind is alone re-
served to the President, and it must of
necessity be SO. There is little doubt
but that we are to have an extra session
of Congress soon after McKinley's inau-
guration for the purpose of securing g
tariff legislation. 1t is hardly likely
that action can be had under five or six
months. 1t is evidently the intention of
the incoming Administration to re-
enact the Mckinley law.
THE cry is all the time for more reve-
nue.; not a word is heard about econ
omy. Eighty millions are appro-
pnated for rivers and harbors, when
enough could have been saved out Of the
appropriation to have made good the
deficiency.
There is no disputing the fact that
the Wilson bill is a deficiency bill, but
it became SO because they wiped out the
income tax section. There is no doubt
but that the income tax would have
given the Government 2o,0OO,OO0 a
year. There will be long drawn-out
discussion of the tariff. Business men
will hesitate; they will not know what
to do. Things will be at a standstill;
then we will have the Mckinley law
again. Duties will be higher taxes will
be higher; prices will be higher. The
man who depends on his weekly wages
will have to pay more for everything he
needs-perhaps prosperity Will fol-

MOTOR CARS COLLIDE
FRICHTFUL ACCIDENT AT
ST. LOUIS.
Disobedience OF Orders Causes tho Fatal
Injury Of Four People and the Serious
W0untling of Twenty-Five OtheS-
Terrific Head End Collision.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 9.-As the
result of the disobedience of orders by
j. A. Aiken, motorman, terrible
head.end collision occurred last even
ing about 5 o'clock between two cars
of the newly completed Kirkwood
electric railroad, which connects the
suburban town of Kirkwood with this
city. Both cars were badly smashed,
four men were probably fatally in
jured. twenty-nine badly hurt, and
between twenty and thirty others less
seriously injured.
II was the disobedience of rule
providing that cars going in a certain
direction should keep q siding until
the next car in the other direction had
passed. that caused the accident. An
east bound car with J. 5. Peaceley as
conductor and J. A. Aiken as motor
nah. stopped at siding about one
mile this side of KirkwOOd. The west
bound car not appearing, the car men
decided to try and make the town in a
flying trip. They had almost reached
the end of their journey when the
other car came around curve and
both crashed together. The east
bound car was running at the rate of
at least thirty-five miles an hour,
while the other had attained speed
equaling fifteen miles an hour The
passengers were thrown in a pile by
the impact, which was terrible.

Worn with the exposure of army life

Joseph Flegauf returned to Philadel-
phia eight years ago. broken down in
health and unable to do any work.
He had served five years with the
Ninth United States Infantry in many
a desperate fight with the Indians in
Arizona and other frontier states and
had won an envia bic record. In the
fierce conflict when Geronimo, the
famous chief Of the Apaches. was cap

as that. long time before his time

When he reached Philadelphia, the

dizzy, and his stomach felt as if it had

After two years of suffering, Mr..
Fleeauf came to New York and was
treated by several physicians. These
did not agree, some calling his disease
catarrh of the stomach, and others
chronic diarrhOea.
In speaking TO a reporter about his
illness Mr.. Flegauf said the doctors
helped him, but, with all the money he
spent for advice and medicine, he was
able to work only small part of the

Then all medicines failed, and the
sick man had little hope of recovery.
At this critical time DR.. Williams Pink

to Mr.. Flegauf. and, almost as a last
hope. he began taking them.

New YORK, March S.-The inaug-
ural step made by Ballington Rooth,
the deposed commander of the Saliva
ticn Army in America. in rival or
ganization on lines similar to the one
from whose command he has been re-
lieved, met success last night. Cooper
Union was the scene where the first

thrilled the hearts OF 5000 loyal sol
dIers, who, since the commencement
of the international strife which has
sundered Darlington Booths allie
glance to his father, General Booth of
London, have remained loyal to the
deposed commander and his wife,
Maud Booth. Every seat in the big
auditorium was crowded. The aisles
were crowded and the streets outside
were thronged.
It was only when Ballington Booth

lingtOn Booth rose and said:
Mrs. Booth and myself have not

have, after mature deliberation, de-

Could we have avoided it. 1t would

a work nine years, for which they

the largest field in the world, and still
further recognizing that there was
room in America for one, two, aye, 100
Salvation armies, we have resolved, to
the best of our ability, to win over the
middle classes of the artisan COM
munity of this country. We wish no
strife with the Salvation army-no
strife. either literal or verbal.
