TWO FRElGHIs cnrllos
One Man Killed. Two Fatally nurs
 and Several Under tlne Wreck.

One Man Killed, Two FseaIIy Hur,
 and Several Under sise Wreck.
 PrrTsBuRe, Oct 1.-Two freighttrains coilided Wednesday night at Philson, on the Baltimore. and Ohio railroad. 124 miles east of Pittsburg. making one ot the worst wreeks in the history of the road. oneman is dead, two probably fatally injured and several others are missing, the missing lying dead under the wreck almost beyond doubt. De- tails of the wreck are meager and dif- hcult to procure, as the storm has left the telegraph fines in terrible condi- lon. The grade at Philson is very heavy, the lines.descending at the rate of over 100 feet 70 the mile.
 The fast freight east was scheduled to meet the westbound freight at Philson. The latter train reached the siding and waited on the main track for the east bound train. Shortly after starting down the grade the crew of the eastbound loss control of the train. In an instant 1t was going at express speed and the crew decided to take chances by staying aboard, rather than jump. As the train shot around the curve at Philson the eastbound train struck the westbound train, and every car on the former was thrown to the common center of the collision and ground to atoms. The engines were smashed to serapiron. The westbound train was also badly wrecked and the debris piled as high as telegraphpoles. The loss to the company will reach many thousands Of dollars.
 The Baltimore and Ohio eastbound express, which left Pittsburg last night held at Rockwood, where the Somerset and Cambria branch to Johnstown in- tersects the main line. At daylight it was decided to advance the train to the scene of the wreck, where the passen. gers would be transferred around the wreck.
 The Cleveland baseball club was on train, tound for Laltimore to open the Temple cup series games. During the early morning it seemed that it would be impossible to reach Baltimore in time for the gsme. but the Baltimore and Ohio officials stated that they would make all effort to get the club into Bal timore by 3 50 or 1 p. m.

One of our largest cotton buyers,
 who is a staunch gold bug, in dis cussing the financial question and
 Grover Cleveland, remarked to a
 GRAPHIC man this morning that he would be perfectly satisfied to see Grover Cleveland made President or Dictator for life. Fortunately for the independence of America and the American people, he is only one in thousands. The gentleman also said that he believed that Mckinley
 would be elected; that he could not vote for him, but would cast his bal lot for Palmer. A vote for Palmer l is a vote for Mckinley, and well do the gold bugs realize this fact. There l is no use in attempting to disguise 1 the isgile

 LEADvILLE, Colo, Oct. 2.-Every pos sibility of ending the strike by arbitra- tion or other amicable means has disap- peared, for the time being at least. The Cloud City Miners union has voted to continue indefinitely it's fight for the uniform wages of $9 per day for all men in all mines. Two hundred members of the union have withdrawn and will seek work. The mine oper- ators will fin the places of the strikers with outsiders as rapidly as possible, and the state militia will probably be kept here long time.
