PASSENGERS SHAKEN UP.
Supposed Attempt to Wreck Train La
Unsuccessful.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, Nov g.
Trainwreckers made an unsuccessful
attempt to wreck Pennsylvania sub
urban train at point two miles from
the city. They broke switch lock,
threw the rails to connect with sid
ing and allowed the switch bar, at the
top of which was light, to stand in
its proper position. The engineer, nat
urally supposing all was right, came
laundering down the track. He did
not discover the peril his train was i'll
until the train reached the misplaced
switch, when the brakes were applied
and the train stopped before serious
damage was done. The passengers were
badly frightened and shaken up.

EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE
MIR. Mckinley May Make u Special Cali
on Congress-.


New YORK, Nov. 9.-"There will be
an extra session of congress called soon
after Major McKinlcy's Inauguration
Eext March"
This statement was made to New
York World reporter by Mark A..
Hanna, who intimated that his author
ity is the president-elect.
Mr.. Hanna refused to go Oh record
concerning the probable makeup of the
Mckinley cabinet, but repeated his as
sertion that he would accept no posi-
tion or Office within the gift of the
president.
Concerning the future policy of Ma
jor Mckinley and of the Republican
party, Mr.. Hanna said:
Zone of the first problems to be
solved will be how to provide a suffi-
cient revenue to carry on the govern
ment. The sale of another lot Of bonds
would be dangerous proceeding, and
it will be adopted only as last re-
sort.
"Of course, the president cannot of
himself provide revenue, and so the
next president will take the dilemma
by the horns and Immediately after his
Inauguration will convene congress
and ask for revenue providing legisla-
ton.
II have no doubt that new tariff
schedule will be provided, but it will
not be so radical as to derange business.
1t will be based upon the needs of the
government.

Schooner Wrecked in a Gale
on Lake Michigan and Six
of Crew Drowned.
Attempted to Make Muskegon
Harbor, but Failed and
Went to Pieces.
Rescued Sailor Alleges the
Captain and Several Men
We're Drunk.

MUSHROOM, Mich. Nov. 9-The
schooner Waukesba broke up while
trying to ride out the gale at anchor
near here, and only one survivor of her
crew of seven has been rescued. He is
still too weak to talk.
The vessel had load of salt and APP
Piles which was taken on at Manistee
Saturday morning. At o'clock in the
afternoon she was sighted running with
the gale under torn mainsail An at
tempt was made to enter Muskegon
harbor but the schooner drifted mile
south of the pier and then anchor was
dropped. She was riding three.quar-
ters of mile from shore at dark. The
engineer and fireman of the city pump
ing station watched the lights until 9
o'clock, when they disappeared. Short
ly afterwards wreckage began coming
in This continued all night, and in
the morning six bodies We're recovered
The surviving sailor was washed ashore
unconscious, and nothing can be learned
from him.
The Waukesha is one of the old fleet
of "canalers, and, true to all tradi-
ton, she has taken almost her entire
crew down with her III her last disas-
ter. She was owned by F. HI. Head of
Chicago, and was formerly known as
the Nabob.
Says the Captain Was Drunk.
During the evening Frank Delach,
the survivor, made affidavit to the ef-
feet that there were seven men aboard
the Waukesha, Captain Duncan Corbett,
the mate, four seamen and colored
cook. When they arrived off Muske-
gon, Delach said the captain, mate and
some of the sailors were very drunk.
They signalled for tug, but showed
no distress signals, and no tug under
these circumstances started out i'll the
heavy sea. The captain anchored
mile south of Muskegon harbor The
craft began leaking badly, but the
captain refused to light the
torch to make known their condition to
the lifesaving crew The crew donned
life preservers, all hands taking to the
forward rigging. The craft, however,
began sinking rapidly and sudden
lurch threw some of the men from the
foremast. AS part of them clung to the
rigging the main topmast broke off and
fell upon them striking some of them
and sweeping all into the lake Delach
said he contrived to get together raft
from the wreckage to which five of the
men hung for time. They dragged
the captain with them, but he was to
helplessly drunk to hold ON and they
had to drop him. Only Delach reached
shore alive

Professor Benjamin Ide Wheeler of Cornell Uni

by means Of the nail holes in the stones. bronze
letter inscription which stood upon the eastern
architrave of the Parthenon. The traces had been
noted by generations Of scholars but their sig
nifcance had never been understood till Mr.. An
drews demonstrated 1t. His task was accomplished
by means of paper impressions. or "squeezes." 1t
appears that the Emperor Nero was the person
Clorifed in the inscription. and he is set forth
therein with all his titles as the 'son of God"
All through the middle ages the Parthenon was
used as a Christian church. and bore this blasphe-
nous device hidden from the pous worshppers
because the bronze letters had long since been
torn off Mr.. Andrews succeeded In determining
what the Greek letters must have been by most
ingenious deductions from the relative position OF
The matter has stirred up considerable interest
in the archaeological world. as. indeed, every new
thing that can be found out about the Parthenon
must needs do, and much credit Is given to Mr.
