freight was too heavy for the engine
to pull over the steep grade and mad
to be cut in two. The rear section
had been sefely sidetracked, and the
engine was returning for the remain
der of the train ON the siding at Long
wood, when it crashed into the pay
train. The two engines came together
with terrific force, completely demol-
ishing the locomotive of the pay train.
Those who had seen the danger jumped
for their lives and escaped without Sc
rious injury. Five men were on the
engines when they came together, and
three of them were killed. The pay
car itself was turned over, and now
lies bottom side up at the foot of an
embankment. The injured men were
all taken to ConnersvilIe.

Left to Secure Rent Past Due Found TO.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Two satchels
and u large trunk filed with dynamite
bombs were discovered by the police
here last night In the rooms of an an
archist in four-stOry brick building.
at the corner of Oak and Sedgwich
streets. The anarchist has not been.
seen in Chicago for two years, but he
left his baggage behind him and it was
opened yesterday.
Two years ago an anarchist named
Bestman lived in the Sedgwick house
and went away to go to Texas. He
owed six months rent on leaving and
told the Iandlady that he would leave
his trunk which contained valua bles.
Ever since the trunk together with
two satchels have been stored away
and left unmolested in "a closet of the
room. In fact 1t had lRen forgotten
until last evening when the landlady-
went into the closet looking for an-.
other trunk which contained some
winter clothing which she wished to
get. In searching for the clothing
she came across the trunk left by the
anarchist, which she had entirely for.
gotten. 1t was brought out and with
tine aid of a hatchet the trunk was
opened. At the top of the trunk were
IA few clothes. These being removed
a frank full of dynamite was exposed.
The woman was very much frightened
and notified the police. In the trunk
were found several letters written by
Parsons and one or two of the anarch..
lists who were executed. The where
abouts of the owner of the trunk is

rae Fall OF DoNGoLA

r.1,a fabfectIve PoRat of tine Anglo-Egyp~
fian ExpeditiOn Surrenders Without Re-
distance After a Warm Engagement at
FL HAIR, North OF Dongola
cAIRo. Sept. 21.-A dispatch from.
the Anglo-Egyptian expedition states.
that Dongola, the objective point OF
the expeditions, has been taken with
ont any resistance from the dervlshesy
the place being unoccnpled.
The dispatch adds that the town or
Ell HAIR, north of Dongola, to which
the deryishes retreated saturday, was.
captured after hot engagement
After the place had fallen into the
hands of the expedition, the Egyptians
captured 81 grain-laden boats, the
loss of which will prove severe blow.
to the deryisheS The latter made
desperate attempts to recover the
boats. but a heavy fire was poured
into them by the troops and the gun
boats. and they were finally compelled
to abandon their attempts to regain
possession of the boats and their car
goes
After their defeat, the entire dervish
force retreated southwark upon DON
COLA. AT the same time the expedition
steamers started for the same place,
and being the quicker. reached there
before the dervishes. The city was
found to be deserted by warriors and
the steamers at once landed force of
infantry to hold it until the arrival OF
the main body of the expedition.
At the time the dispatch was sent
the dervishes were approaching Dom
COLA overland, and scouts reported
that they were carrying many OF their
wounded with them. Included among
the wounded are some of the most
noted chiefs.
1t is expected that as the dervishese
are without food or other stores, they
will make q most desperate attempt
TO again get possession of Dongola.
Ell Hafir was not taken by the troops
until after a most stubborn resistance
on the part of the dervishes had been
overcome. The riflemen of the latter
fought behind well made mud forts
and trenches that were strewn with
mats. These defenseS, however, were
soon wrecked by the heavy fire of the
Egyptian artillery and the Maxim bat
terry that was manned by the Con-
naugnt Rangers.
The dervIshes stood the fire bravely,s
but were finally compelled to withdraw
from the place. The cavalry took nei
part in the engagement, remaining
some distance off in the desert watch
ing the result OF the battle. When the
British and Egyptians landed the en-
tire force retreated southwark.
The capture of the place was hailed
with delight by the natives who have.
long been harried by the dervishes..
They shouted, danced and sang in a
frenzied manner and hailed the expe--
dition as their deliverers.
Owing to the lack of supply OF
telegraph cable to lay in the night,
the terminus of the field telegraph
still remains at Kerma, on the east
bank of the Nile.
The country around Ell Halfir is fer
tile and there is plenty of green fodder
for the camels and other animals of
the expedition
