tobacco throughout the empire.
The invaders mounted the roof OF the
building. and from the open windows fired
at the police in the street below. The police
returned the fustillade and several persons
were killed and wounded. Then the riot be-
came general. Shops were sacked and
bazars invaded and the widest excitement
prevailed throughout certain quarters of
| Constantinople.
A later report says that there Ia no doubt
but what the movement was revolutionary in
plan and scope; that 1t had its origin at Sc
cret meetings OF Amenlans. About 40 rioters
were still in possession of the Ottoman bank
AT n late hour in the evening, despite all the
efforts of the government forces to remove
them.
Riots continue and the mobs are constant
ly increasing in the Cretan quarter. A bomb
exploded In Constantinople near the Galat-
azeral guardhouse. Many soliers were kill
ed and wounded.

THREE TRAINS WRECKED.
Collision on the P. & W. in Which 2S Per.
sons Were Injured.

A horrible railroad disaster occurred Mon
day morning at II o'clock on the Pittsburg
and Western road, near Valencia station, %
miles above Allegheny, in which 28 people
were badly injured. Several Of them will
probably die. The accident was caused
by through freight No. 25 running into the
rear of local freight No. 27 ON siding at
Valencia, thereby throwing some freight ears
into the side of No IA, an east bound pas
senger train from Chicago which was pass
ing at the time. II was one OF the most
peculiar wrecks In the history OF rairoading.
That many OF those on the passenger train
were not killed outright is a wonder. The
cars were well filed, and when the crash
came they were literally smashed into kind
ling wood, the debris piling over and above
mangling them. But of all the large number
who were badly injured, not one was taken
out dead.
