road Train in Cuba.


road Train in Cuba.
The passenger train which leaves Ha-
vana for Matanzas daily at am. Was
dynamited yesterday morning about twelve
miles from the city by party of insur-
gents. According to the official account the
object was plunder. as about 5000 was in
the express car.
The officials had ordered the passenger
train to go ahead, and pilot engine to
follow. At bend in the line a terrible ex-
p;osion completely wrecked the passenger
engine, which fell into a pit twenty-nine
feet below, dragging three third-class cabs
after 1t. At the same moment another ter
rifle explosion wrecked the pilot engine
which came to the rescue, and it fell into
the pit also.
Both engineers. one fireman, one conduc-
tor and seven soldiers were killed and three
passengers were severely injured, while
thirty-two suffered more or less serious
bruises. simultaneously with the explosion
the insurgents opened fire on the train
seriously wounding a captain.
The two trains were dynamited with
electric machines and bombs placed on a
culvert at the curve. The body of an in
surgent was found lying near the wire
communicating with the bombs. It is sup
posed that he was killed by the shock.
The military escort Of the train quickly
recovered and opened fire upon the insur-
gents, who had advanced toward the cars
and drove them OF.

ALVAN G. CLARK DEAD.

bridge.
Prof. Alvan G. Clark, the famous tele-
scope lens manufacturer, died at his home,
Cambridge, Mass, yesterday, as the result
of stroke of apopiexy. His latest finished
work, the mammoth lenses for the Yerkes
telescope, was shipped to Chicago a short
time ago
Alvan G. Clark was born in Fall River.
July 10. 1882. After grammar school ed
ucatlon he became associated with his
father. Alvan Clark, in the firm of Alvan
Clark Sons. The elder Clark was the
first American to make large achromatic
lenses. AS member of the firm the son
successfully completed many famous
lenses, among which are the Chicago re-
tractor, the 26-inch lens irP the Naval OBJ
servatory at Washington, and the 3O-inch
refractor for the Imperial Observatory at
st. Petersburg, for which the honorary
medal of Russia was awarded, the only one
ever conferred on an American. During
1886 the 3G-inch refractor then the largest
In the world, was made for the Lick OBJ
servatory. The lens for the Yerkes tele-
scope is the largest in the world.
MIR. Clark accompanied the total eclipse
expedition to Spain in 1870, and also the
expedition to Wyoming in 1873. AS an OBJ
server he discovered fourteen intricate
double stars, including the companion to
Sirius for which the Lelande gold medal
was awarded to him by the French Acad-
emy of Sciences in 1862.

At the gate Miss Carrie was waiting.
She clasped her returning sister to her

A new book of 135 pages by Marvin Warren.
By irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally a legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues
The author holds that our financial and in
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out a
way to speedy relief
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be of immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of the party, and in making new
converts everywhere.
The retail price of MONEY CHART is % cent
We have a special arrangement with the publish
ers by which we can furnish our subscribers th
book for 10 cents.

MISS STELLA ACCOMPLISHES HER
JOURNEY,


Once more Miss Stella leaned back
and enjoyed the serenity of the morn
ing with its soft sunshine, it's gentle
breezes, its caressing zephyrs, and the
chirrup and twitter of happy birds.
Now she wondered why she had neg
lected to learn from Tom Coyne just
how long she had been away and what
had transpired among her friends in
the interim, Tom had spoken of her
| disappearance as a thing of long ago.
She grew anxious to get home She
was overWrought with anxiety to re-
turn. She looked forward to the two
or three hours that must elapse before
her rescue with depression; it would
J be so long; so long! 1t was horrible
to be there alonel The birds made her
| more lonesome; so did the breeze by
| the way III which it set the bushes to
trembling! Everything made her lone
ly. How dreadful it was to be there
with not living fellow creature with
in call!
Then she thought of the dead with
| in! Now she could recall as one re-
calls dream, how he had taken care
of her. She remembered how she had
| depended upeR him, how faithful he
was. She recalled his constancy, his
care, his kindness of heart, his gentle
ness, the sweetness of disposition that
| made the uncouth old man a tender,
tireless and watchful nurse She
| thought of him with affection and wept
again.
There was 10 violence to her grief;
she was too weak for violent emotion.
She was only lonely and worn out;
worn out physically and mentally. Yet
this calm morning administered a
balm, the balm of nature, which
! brought quiet and rest strangely con-
| tradicting her sorroWsJ and In some
incomprehenslble way it sent a thrill
OF peace and content and gladness
through her soul.
She was annoyed by her inability to
make satisfactory guess at the time
OF day. She IVES unable to measure
the growth CT time; she could not tally
the treading minutes as they passed.
Sometimes she imagined that Tom
Coyne had been gone Ions enough To
nave made the round trip many times
then she would invent causes of de-
lay and grow fearful that they would
postpone her rescue until the next
day. Again she " Uld convince her.
self that Tom had not yet had time
to reach Minersvale.
Confidently, hopefully, doubtfuny,
aespairingly by turns. she watched for
the coming of her ENDS. She always
looked in the direction taken by Tom

While Miss Stell; kept watch down
the hill toward her right, the party she
