New York, Aug. 23.-A special to the
Herald from Frederick, Md, says: A
runaway trolley car, carrying more than
one hundred passengers, dashed down
the Catoctin mountains this evening,
and in rounding curve, upset and was
smashed into kindling wood. Although
going at the rate of sixty miles an hour,
at the time of the accident, no one was
killed outright, but forty were injured.
some of them seriously.
The line had just been started and ex-
tended from Frederick City to Catoctin
Heights, a distance of five miles. 1t
was soon after dark this evening when
car No. IoI started down the mountain
for home. 1t accommodated only sixty
passengers, but the crowd fought to get
on in spite of the conductors protests.
After travelling at high rate of speed
for about mile, Motorman MUTT tried
to stop, but found that while the brake
worked on the front wheels, he could
not control those in the rear. The pas
sengers became panic stricken, and the
car shot on until about two and one alf
miles down the mountain, when
jumped a curve. Thomas Anderson, a
native of Frederick, was injured inter
nally and will die. Miss Annie Buckles,
aged fouy years, is badly bruised and
suffering from the shock. Others had
arms and legs broken. Relief was sent
from Frederick.

REPORTER AND PREACHER.
They Come in Contact With Each
OthOr at Macon, Ga.

Macon, Ga, August 23.-A sensation
was caused in the leading Methodist
church in this city tonight caused by a
difficulty between Rev. Alonzo Monk,
pastor of the church, and Tilden adam
son, a reporter of the Macon Daily Tele-
graph.
Adamson reported the reverend gen
tleman's sermon last Sunday, which
as pronounced by the pastor to be in
correct. At tonight's service the Rev.
Monk was particularly severe on the re-
porter. and reflected on him in such a
manner as to cause Adamson to resent
1t at the close of the sermon. Going to
the pulpit. the young gentleman de-
manded an explanation of the doctors
remarks. An exchange of words anger
ed both gentlemen, whereupon they
grappled each other.
Deacons of the church rushed for
ward and an exciting exchange of blows
between them and the reporter follow
ed. The newspaper man stood firm and
defended himself as best he could
against odds. Police were sent for. The
congregation was greatly excited, more
than 1000 people being present. Wo-
men and mon stood on tip-toe to watch
the outcome of the scuffie. Finally or
der was restored, but the services were
shortened by the scene.
The trouble tonight was the outcome
of his sermons on the bar-rooms of the
city of Macon.

San Francisco, Aug. 20. The Call
says: Secretary of State Brown says

He said that as soon as the fusionists
present the names to him he will dictate
a letter to the attorney general asking
for his opinion in the matter.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Stew
art of Nevada has addressed an open
letter to Senator Sherman in answer to
the latter's speech Of August 18th, at
Columbus, Ohio, in which he charged
that the Senator from Nevada in 1874
advocated the gold standard.
The letter charges that Senator Sher-
man grossly misrepresentsd him Stew
art and that if he (Sherman) had print
ed the context of the speech it would
have refuted the inference that was
drawn from the extracts printed.

al will retire from Office on Septem-
Der Ist. 1t is my purpose to return to

that necessarily involves expense will

Upper Red Hook, n. y, Aug. a.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and Private Secre-
tary Outright left Red Hook at noon to-
day to begin the homeward journey to
Lincoln. Bryan has gained flesh and is
in high spirits, inspired particularly by
the approaching meeting with Senator
Hill, Chrirman Hinckley and other dem

result in the assurances OF politically
solid support of the state organization.
The party drove to Rhinecliff, where
they crossed the river to continue the
journey to Winnesook Lodge, where
they will spend the night with Hinckley.

Telegraph from Athens says that the
most serious fight which is recorded in
Crete up to the present time occurred
yesterday, when the Christians in the
mountains organized strong expedi-
ton against the villages in the Herak-
lion district a thousand well-armed
Turks left Heraklion to protect their
property. In the pitched battle which
followed the Turks were defeated, losing
eighty killed and forty-seven wounded

British tramp steamer Moldava were
picked up at sea in three open boats by
the Anchor line steamer Circassia,

Idahn RenuhIicans.

Boise, Ida, Aug. 2s.-Delegates from
the southern and eastern part of the
state arrived this morning, and there
were rival demonstrations at the depot
and at the hotels afterward. Most of
the silver delegates were on the train
and the local Silver club turned out in
force to welcome them. The Mckinley
club also appeared to welcome their
men, as there are rival delegations from
nearly all the southern counties, as
we'll as from a number in the north. The
professions were formed and the dele
gates escorted to the hotels, the McKin-
ley men going to the Overland and the
othersto the Capitol. The Mckinley
crowd proceeded to call out Senator
Shoup, while the silver crowd called out
Senator Dubois. There was a wild
demonstration, and it was several min
utes before either senator undertook to
speak. Then, within hearing of each
other, they proceeded to advocate, one
the election of Bryan and the other the
election of Mckinley.
There is a pronounced sentiment
among the delegates in favor of some
kind of union, but it is not probable

COId-BIOOded Murder.

Burlington, N. J., Aug. 23.-A cold
blooded murder was committed here last
night, when John T. Henke was strang-
led to death. Alfred Hunter and Thomas
Cromwell, two tough colored men, are
suspected of the crime.
The two men were seen lettering
around the store last night, and later
were seen to go in a side door This
mo rning Henke, failing to make his ap-
pearance, neighbors broke into the room
and found the old man lying on the floor
covered with blood. A piece of rope
had been wrapped around his neck, and
then with a short stick the slack had
been taken up until his eyes had left
their sockets and blood ran from his
nose. The body had turned black down
to the hips.
Henke came here from Newcastle,
Delaware, some four years ago, conduct
ed general store, and was supposed to
carry a good deal of money on his per-
son, and as his pocketbook is missing
it is supposed that the old man was first
strangIed and then robbed. The two
suspected men were seen here on the
street at an early hour this morning and
later were observed going toward Bor-
dentown on the railroad track. Officers
are securing the country for them.

All Over the World.

New York, Aug. alt is reported
here that preparations are being made
for a 'longshoreman's and seaman's
strike all over the world.
Andrew Furuseth, of San Francisco,
secretary of the Pacific coast seamen's
union; E. T. Elderkin, secretary of the
National Seamen's union, and II. E..
Barter, secretary of the international
'Longshoremen's union, have been COR
responding with seamen of the different
countries about arranging for general
strike. They believe that a strike Of
seamen and 'longshoremen, to be sue
cessful, should be universal. The lead
ers here have been corresponding with
seamen's unions in England, France,
Australia, Germany, Italy and Portugal.
One of the leaders of the Atlantic
Coast Seamen's union said yesterday
that the big dock strikes in England
were only a prelude to bigger strikes
and the time was nearly ripe for strike
of seamen and 'longshOremen every
where. Conferences were being held
in Great Britain and other shipping cen
tiers and there was general feeling that
a great struggle were near. Demands
are for better wages and conditions are
for guarantees that sailors will be pro-
tected against tyranny of unjust cap
tains and Shipping masters.

/ that anything can be done in that direc-
ton. The Mckinley men are determined
that none shall be nominated who do
not support their presidential candidate,
while the silver men point out that II
would be foolish to go before this state
with such ticket. AS a result there is
gulf which there appears to be no
hope of bridging
The two conventions will meet sepa-
rately and proceed each with its own
work. This is the prospect at this
writing. There is little or no talk about
candidates. Congressman Wilson will
be renominated by the silver men.
Judge Hepburn will be temporary chair
man of the Mckinley. convention.
The attitude of the Kootenai delega-
ton is peculiar and It is not understood.
Some of the members, among them
Maj. Burnes, are for Mckinley, or are
so understood. The others are about
Mckinley headquarters, though Mr.
Crane and about half the delegation
are said to be for silver ticket.
The Pocatello people brought up the
band of that place with them.
1t turns out that there is serious trou-
BILE in the Kootenai delegation. Crane
and King in caucus have refused to
enter the convention at all. Ryan and
Burnes have gone over to the Shoup-
McConnell-Heyburn convention and
will join in its deliberations tomorrow.
Sinclair. Maggett and Sonnenkalb, hold
ing Manning's proxy, will stand pat with
the free silver-Dubois faction. In
caucus of the delegates of the county,
Sinclair and Maggett scored the boilers
and left it. Crane has given his proxy
to Budlong, McKinleyite.
H. H. Bangs arrived from Latah to
night with all the silver proxies of that
county.

Boise, Idaho, Aug Ex-senator Du-
bois was today interviewed on the flu
sion of democrats and populists.
"What do you think of the result of
the action of the late democratic and
populist convention?" Senator Dubois
was asked.
"The understanding generally among
silver leaders of all parties-democratic,
populist and silver republicans-in the
east is that the best interests of silver
would be subserved by union of all sill
yer forces wherever and whenever it
was practical" replied the senator.
"Such union was made in Minnesota,
Colorado, South Dakota and Washing
ton. Silver Republican representatives
were here during the late convention
with full power to act, who proposed
such a combination. The democrats
and populists would not consider the
proposition at all they were determined
20 make a combination which would ex-
clude any recognition of silver repub-
licans. think it unfortunate for the
cause of silver that fight Is now pre-
-cipitated which will be bitter between
the silver forces in the state"
"What effect will this have on the
electoral ticket?"
"None at all. The silver republicans
will nominate the electors selected by
the fusion, thus insuring Bryan and
Sewall the practically unanimous vote
of the state"
"What will the silver republicans do
in regard to state ticket"
"They will nominate full ticket and
such a one, in my judgment, as will
command the complete respect and con-
fidence of the people of the state'"
"Will such a ticket win"
at is too early to predict. 1t is very
evident that the fusion ticket does not
meet with approval. The silver repub-
licans believe their cause to be just, and
they think, in addition, that they have
pursued a perfectly consistent course,
and one that the people will indorse at
the polls"
"They admit, and have always in
sisted that the republican supporters of
Mckinley had perfect right TO express
their convictions by voting for McKin-
lev and Hobart electors, and that they
would do nothing to prevent them from
exercising this right. They have urged
a union of silver forces in order to give
Bryan and Sewall the largest vote pos
sible, and to demonstrate to the country
that loyalty to the cause of silver was
the prime motive which controlled the
people of Idaho A union of forces
was refused, but the silver republicans
will continue their fight for silver with
the same consistency with which they
have conducted it thus far, not being
disturbed in the slightest degree by sell
fshness and lack of patriotism and de-
votion to the cause of other organiza-
tions.
"If a union of silver forces had been
consummated we could have raised con-
siderable money in the state, and sent
our best speakers of all parties east,
where the fight must be won.
Such men as Huston, Claggett, Will
son, Sweet, Reid, Hawley, Gum, Fergu-
son and many others could have done
incalculable good for the cause in east
ern communities. Besides, the moral
effect of a union of forces would have
been quite a contrast to the miserable
scramble for Office which we have just
