EXPRESS T1..AINS COLLIDE
rwo Mot. Killed and Three Probably
Fatally Injured.

Two MOI. Killed and Three Probably
Fatally Injured.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 3l.-Two passenge::
trains collided at 1880 p m. on the Bal
timore and Ohio Southwestern near
Coal City, IA miles from Cincinnati.
They were the Louisville express, which
left this city at 7:O5 p. NJ, and the St.
Louis accommodation due there at 7:G5
D. IN. The latter was an hour late.
The first known of the collision hero
was when the wrecking train was sent
nut about o'clock accompanied by
physicians, railway officials and Others
They were followed by newspaper men
and others in carriages When infor-
nation was obtained from the scene it
was found that there were two killed
and six injured. Both engines were
totally wrecked, as the engineers had
very little time to check their speed
The combination car Of the Louisville
express and the express car on the train
from St. Louis were telescoped.
The Dead and Injured.
The dead are: Fireman Wilson Of
the Louisville express; unknown man,
buried under the wreck. The injured:
Fireman Himan Bruning, very danger.
ously injured; Jacob Baer, Lawrence
burg, Ind; Alfonso Prutt, engineer Of
the Louisville express; James Gabriel,
engineer of the St. Louis train. Sew
eral others were badly hurt, but Their
injuries are not considered dangerous.
The cause Of the accident was the
failure of the operator at Sorrs station,
within the city limits, to report to the
Louisville train an order to wait at
Delhi and let the st. Louis train pass it
there The trains, when they sighted
each other a mile this side of Coal City,
were going at full speed and had but
little time to slow Up before the COL
lision. The road is comparatively
straight at this point, otherwise the
casualty would have been terrible.

THE PORTLAND TELEGRAM

Receiver Burleigh Says Courts Must
Come to al Agreement.
PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 31.-The Ore
gonian says: The Northern Pacific re-
ownership ENHANCEMENT will probably
reach crisis soon after the beginning
of the New Year, unless the Eastern
courts speedily agree with Judge Han
ford regarding a unified set of receivers
for the entire system. 1t is learned on
what appears to be good authority that
Receiver Burleigh has given the East
ern receivers to understand that he
will take complete control of the prop
erty within his jurisdiction some time
in January, if the courts do not agree
in the meantime. This means that Mr..
Burleigh will appoint his own general
officers to manage the property within
his jurisdiction, who will not report to
the present general Office at st. Paul.
Evidently Intends to Force Matters.
It is impossible to gain any informa-
ton regarding Mr.. Burleigh's intention
further than his determination to oper-
ate the road entirely independent of
the St. Paul offices. This means, of
course, that he will not work in
thorough harmony with the Eastern
receivers, and also that Judge Hanford
has grown tired of treating with the
Eastern judges for unified receiver
ship. 1t means, too, Mr.. Burleigh con-
siders himself in position to force
matters to an am;cable conclusion. He
is sole receiver for the property in Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho, and one of
three receivers in Montana.

THANKS WALES.

Christmas Message Of tho Prince Had
Good Effect, He says.
LONDON, Dec. 8l.-The Prince OF
Wales authorizes the publication Of the
following acknowledgment of the mes.
sage which his royal highness and the
Duke Of York sent to the New York
World:
Your Christmas message Of peace and
good will was deeply appreciated
and had important effect. The reac-
ton is almost complete. Conscience
has obtained mastery over impulse.
The World thanks you for the wise and
bold words spoken at 80 critical time.
1t is hoped here that the logic Of the
unprecedented expression Of kindness
Of the greatest dignitaries Of church
and state may yet lead to the arbitra-
ton OF dispute so trivial that it could
remain unsettled for 70 years
Surely, among all the scholars, states
men and rulers Of the world, there
must be one who, as arbitrator, will meet
this suggestion Of Lord Salisbury that
he should be "competent and free from
bias
The surest hope Of lasting peace rests
upon the enlightened moral sentiment
which you have voiced and which we
feel shapes the course Of government in
England, not less in America, and con-
tinues the progress of civilization.

The World from London says: There
is such marked change of feeling re-

members of the Royal Yacht Squadron,
that it seems likely that private cable
grams have been received from him,
accounting for it. Men who, from the
beginning of the controversy, have
taken the strongest ground against the
discretion of Lord Dunraven in making
the charges, now express bitter resent
ment against the New York Yacht club.

say, "Dunraven did not have a fair

impression General That the
Northern Pacific Will Soon
Ee Divided.
Rumor Started by a Telegram
From Portland, Or, on
the Subject.
Said That Receiver Burleigh Is
Soon to Assume Control
of That End.

ST., PAUL, Dec. The Northern
Pac fc receivership matter, which has
lain dormant so far as st. Paul is con-
cerned for some time, was lifted out
of its lethargy Monday by telegram
dated Portland. and which states IN
substance that Receiver Andrew f..
Burlelgh, tired of waiting for the East
ern Judges to agree on a un ted recelv-
ershlp, has determ ned to assume COM
plete control of that portion Of the road
within his jurisdiction, manage the
same independent OF the st. Paul offices
and appoint his own general officers
This action, 50 it is stated, is for the
purpose Of forcing matters to al alnlca-
bic conclusion.
Considerable surprise was evinced by
the officials of the road when shown
the telegram, as no animation OF the
news contained therein had been re-
ceived in any department. There
seems to be we'll defined notion, how
ever, that whether or not Mir. Burle:gh
has taken the position attributed 10
him, the big system will at some time
be divided up
Into Two or Tn REQ Sections,
each with its own general officers and
independent government. " lille there
is apparently no friction between the
Eastern anu Western receivers at pres
ent. it is pointed out that the system
of accounts as conducted now is both
complicated and unsatisfactory, and
that if Mr. Burleigh does not happen to
take the step mentioned in the tele-
gram somebody else will before very
long The view was freely expressed
that at any time in the future the
Northern Pacific might be resolved into
three separate railroads, one from st.
Paul to the Montana state line, the Sec
ond the state of Montana, and the third
to include Idaho, Oregon and Washing
ton. This would, of course, create al
enormous additional expense, and
would, in measure, be disastrous to
the different divisions.

fact that there have been no withdraw

The amount of tho next issue, it is
almost certain, has been fixed Mt $780,

favorable TO the government than those
under which the last issue was made.
In this connection it is recalled that be-
