DANIEL WEBsER said. "The peo- pie wonder why financial panics oe- cur so frequently. I can tell them why. It is to the interest of the bankers and brokers that they should occur. It is one of the specious methods by which these despo.ie and utterly useless knaves rob the producing, manufacturing and mercantile classes of their hoe- est earnings. tis one of the chief plans by which this infamous ring is riyeting the ring of s.ayery upon the limbs of labor It is one of the chief means adopted to build up Q money aristocraey that shall live in idle luxury and ape the pretentions of nobility

TWO FREleHTs COLLIDE.
One Man Killed. Two Fatally Hurt
 and Several Under the Wreck.

One Man Killed, Two Fatally Hurt
 and Several Under the Wreck.
 PTTsBuRa. Oct. 1.-Two freighttrains collided Wednesday night at Philson, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, 124 miles east of Pittsburg. making one of the worst wreeks in the history of the roaa One maa is dead, two probably fatally injured and several others are missing, the missing lying dead under the wreck almost beyond doubt. De- taiis of the wreck are meager and diff ficult 10 procure, as the storm has left the telegraph lines in terrible condi- ton. The grade at Philson is very heavy, the lines descending at the rate of over 100 feet to the mile.
 The fast freight east was scheduled to meet the westbound freight at Philson. The latter train reached the siding and waited on the main track for the east bound train Shortly after starting down the grade the crew of the eastbound lost control of the train In an instant it was going at express speed and the crew decided to take chances by staying aboard, rather than jump. AS the train shot around the curve at Philson the eastbound train struck the westbound train, and every car on the former was thrown to the common center of the collision and ground to atoms. The engines were smashed to serapiron. The westbound train was also badly wrecked and the debris piled as high as telegraphpoles. The loss to the company will reach many thousands of dollars.
 The Baltimore and Ohio eastbound express, which left Pittsburg last night held at Redwood, where the Somerset and Cambria branch to Johnstown in- tersects the main line. At daylight it was decided to advance the train to the scene of the wreck. where the passen- gers would be transferred around the wreck.
 The Cleveland baseball club was on train, bound for baltimore to open the Temple cup series games. During the early morning it seemed that it would be impossible to reach Baltimore in time for the game, but the Baltimore and Ohio officials stated that they would make an effort to get the club into Bal tilnore by 3 50 or D. m.

THE FLAG OF IRELAND.
It Figures In a Case Against Patrick

LAWRENCE. Mass, Oct. 2.-Judge Hopl1ing, in the superior court has passed the somewhat famous green flag case against Contractor Patrick O'Brien. O'Brien was arrested July 6 for display ing an Irish flag on a portion of the new Sixth ward school on Independence day. As there is a statute forbidding the display of any foreign flag upon a public building O'Brien was found guilty and Judge Stone of the police court fined him $lO An appeal was taken to the superior court and decis- ion was given. Judge Hopkins ruled that Ireland was not a country in the meaning of the statute governing the case, and had no flag except that of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The casa was accordingly dis missed.
