Causing a Very Bad Wreck-The Cars

Evansville. Ind, March 10Th
most disastrous wreck that has occurred
on the Evansville and Terre Haute rail
road occurred this morning between -
and / o'clock as the train known as the
Midnight Cannon Bali from Chicagp
was coming south over the road.
The recent rain has had a terrible ef-
feet on the road and the entire service
of the road has been directed, since
Friday last, in getting the road in
shape for travel. 1t was
safe last night and train service re-
sumed. All trains had orders 10 pro-

and the train that was wrecked WINS

THE POWERS SENDSH|PS
AND MAKE A GREAT SHOW OF
FORCE IN THE WATERS
OF CRETE.
The Troops Prompted by England and
Italy to Occupy Seaport Towns
Greek Troops Will Not be Permitted
to Land on the Island as Hitherto
Proposed.

Canea. March 1O.-The reply OF
Greece to the demands OF the powers
tor the evacuation OF this island by the
Greek troops and the withdrawal of the
Greek fleet f,2m Cream waters has been
acted upon promptly, to some extent,
by at least two OF the powers. When
the sun rose this morning, it was seen
that there were strange vessels al anch-
or here and ii soon after developed tina;
they were British and Italian transports
loaded with troops. evidently part of
the foreign force which, as the admiral
recommended, will occupy all the prin-
cipal seaport own OF the island. The
Turks assert that these troops will be
used to drive the Greek forces out Of
Crete, but this belief is not shared by
the foreign population generally.
Owing to the receipt of advices saying
that a band of armed volunteers from
Greece were on their way to Crete with
the intention Of reinforcing the Cretan
insurgents. the foreign admiral agreed
to dispatch a cruiser to prevent their
landing.
The Mussulmans who were besieged
at Candama have arrived here on board
an Italian warship.

BATS OPINION.

Carson City, March 1O.-In reply to a
request for his opinion regarding the
chances in the coming mill. Bat Master
son has written a letter in which he de-
clares that the fight should not last over
four rounds. He declines to say who, in
his opinion, will be the winner. adding
that he has not bet a dollar on the re-
suit. His reasons for thinking the fight
will be short are set forth thus:
"Fitzsimmons is every inch a fighter.
There is not n counterfeit hair in his
head. All he knows when he gets into
the ring is to fight, and he will carry
fight right into Corbett's camp. On the
other hand, Corbett is the recognized
heavyweight champion Of the world. He
will weigh not one ounce less than $50
while Fitzsimmons will not weigh one
ounce more than 100 pounds. Corbett
is. in my judgment, the cleverest big
man that ever pulled of a shirt in the
ring. He cannot, nor will he, allow
Fitzsimmons to drive him one foot. So,
In order 20 have a mix-up in short Or
der. all he will have to do will be to
stay in the middle Of the ring. Now.
there "a be only inc result Of a mix-up
between those two men-a winner"

BUT TWO KILLED.

Chicago, March 10.-A special to the
Evening Post from Evansville, Ind.
says:
Al 4 o'clock this morning a wreck on
the Evansville and Terre Haute rail
road at HaZeltCn caused the loss of two
lives and two others were seriously in
jured. The train was limited No. .,
from Chicago TO Nashville, and had
passed HaZeltUn and crossed the bridge
over White river and the trestle at the
south end of the bridge in safety. Just
as the engine reached the embankment
at the end OF the trestle there was n
landslide, and the engine and baggage
car at the front end OF the smoker, went
into the hole. The train was running
slow and it was fortunate that it was,
as the passenger coaches and sleeper
were not piled upon the others.
Previous to the time of the accident,
five trains had passed over the road
within three hours, and at 10 o'clock last
night the Waterman had reported the
track between four and a quarter and
five feet above water and everything all
right. 1t is the assumption of the rail-
road officials that the embankmeut had
softened beneath the water feeding
against it, and when the last train
struck it it was ready to collaps. and
did so. The dead are:
Conductor George A. Sears and Fire
man Joseph coleman, both OF this city.
Baldwin Haneisen. the brakeman,
and an unknown passenger were injur-
ed; how seriously it is not yet known.
Engineer John McCutcheon escaped,
although on the engine when it went
into the hole. The passenger coaches
and sleeper were taken back to Vincen-
mes, and from there will be taken ova
the Big Four to GRANVILLE, ILL.,, and sent
from there over the Peoria. Decatur and
Evansville.

New York, March 1O.-A special to
the Herald from Canea says: The
Turks in Candamo have been relieved
by a detachment from the foreign war
ships.
The insurgents attacked Fort Hiera-
petra On the refusal OF the Turkish gar
rison to surrender. Thereupon the for
eign warships bombarded the insurgent
positions, and the latter were forced to
withdraw.
The Italian commandant here has Or
dered the correspondents Of Greek news
papers to leave Canea, and they will, in
case of refusal, be forcibly transported
hence to Cerigo on board a torpedo boat.
A similar notice Of expulsion has been
served upon all Greeks remaining in
Canea.
NJ. Baraklis, the Greek vice consul,
who was ordered to leave Canea by
Commandant Ameretta, under pain Of
being treated as a prisoner, and who re-
fused to submit except by force, was
taken off by an Italian steam launch
with the dragoman of the consulate and
placed on board a Greek warship.
Fighting took place between the
Turkish troops and insurgents at the
outposts in Akrotiri. Numbers were
wounded and brought to town.

Mrs. Catherine Bragg Shot While Still
in Bed.

Chicago, March lO.-A bullet was
sent through Mrs. Catherine Bragg's
head as she lay in bed this morning.
Her adopted daughter, Josephine, was
sleeping with her. but did not hear the
shot. Mystery surrounds the shooting.
The police are inclined to think Mrs.
Bragg attempted to commite suicide.
though they arrested the adopted
daughter. Mrs. Bragg made a will some
Time ago leaving nearly $50, 900 to this
daughter. The police were not notified
FOR eight hours. The woman was then
taken to II hospital and called her
daughter later, talking to her in n most
atfectionate way. Mrs. Bragg says all
she remembers is feeling a singing
sensation in her head nfter being shot.
Mrs. Bragg is the widow Of Frederick
A. Bragg, u brother o.. Gen. Bragg OF
Wisconsin. Her husband was a real es-
tate dealer. They had no children, and
five years before the death of Mr.. Bragg
The couple adopted "A baby and called
her Josephine Bragg. No one seems to
know who the girls parents are. She
is now Is years old and is heiress TO all
but 81 500 Of the property OF Mrs. Bragg.
Mrs. Bragg lived alone with her
daughter in a fiat on Thirty-tirst street.
Josephine told the police she Wac
awakened by her mothers screams ut 6
o'clock in the morning. She turned
arodnd in the bed and screamed herself
when she saw blood flowing from Z
wound in Mrs. Bragg's temple.
The bullet had passed through the
left temple clear through the head, but
had missed the brain. Mrs. Bragg told
her daughter to bring n doctor. The
doctor dressed the wound and went
away. The news finally reached a DO
liceman and he sent in a call for an
ambulance. Detectives searched the
house, but could find neither bullet nor
revolver. The bullet had passed clear
through the head and yet 1t could not
be found in the wall or drapery.
1t is believed Mrs. Bragg will not re-
cover.
Mrs. Bragg was resting easier at st.
Luke's tonight. But the sight O. both
eyes will be destroyed.
The story Of an nffectionate interview
between Josephine and her foster moth
er is said to be very much exaggerated. !
The hospital attendants say Josephine
called, but was not permitted TO see Mrs.
Bragg, furthermore, it is said, the doc
tors discovered that Mrs. Bragg's face
bore marks of burned powder, conclu-
sively showing that the shot was fired
al close range. A pistol, with one emp
~ shell, is said to have been found in a
closet and the police assert that Mra.
Bragg could not possibly nave placed 1,
there.

1t Is rather believed that the powers
will continue to negotiate with Greece
to come to an amicable arrangement.
However. the separate action on the
part of Germany against Greece is not
dissimulated. In that case it is not sup
posed that ather powers would inter
fere. since they could only reap advant-

mise her position in the East.

Leg.

Washington. March 1O.-President

his old friend and companion in arms.

en- in front of the treasury department

street and a leg which had once been
fractured at the battle OF Winchester by
a bullet was broken.
Word was sent to the White House
that General Hastings had been injured
and was in the hospital. President Nc
kinley at once sent a messenger with
a note Offering to render any service in
his power. An hour later. when he
could escape from visitors. he drove to
the hospital with Colonel Taylor of East
Liverpool, Ohio. and Captain w. C.
Williams. At the hospital he was shown
to the room where General Hastings
was, and, sitting down by the cot, took
his friends hand.
Il am very sorry to find you here,
general" the president said, and added:
But I am told that it was not very SER
ious and that's good. 1t all comes from
running away from us so soon"
After some conversation the president
remarked: The last time | saw you
wounded was at Winchester, and | hard
ly thought O would pull through that
time"
He asked the physicians about their
patien, and was told he would be re-
moved to the Garfield hospital.
After offering to do anything in his
power for his friend the president re-
turned to the White House.
