a BAD WRECK.
Passenger Train DcrniIed Near Al
ton, IIl.-Many BADLY Hurt.

st. Louis, Aug. 30.-The passenger
and train crew of the midnight special
of the Chicago & Alton railroad, which
arrived in this city at 7:45 a. IN. from
Chicago, narrowly escaped death in a
wreck near Alton Sunday morning. Near
the outskirts of the city the engine was
derailed while proceeding at high
rate of speed by spreading rails and
thrown down a 45-foot embankment.
The tender, three baggage cars con-
tanning the scenery and wardrobes of
the Digby Bell company and postal
car followed and rolled on top of the
engine, under which Peter Rafferty,,
of Bloomington, the engineer, was
pinned. He was taken out fatally in
iured. Fireman Charles johnson, of
Bloomington, H., Mail Clerks Robert
Mattimore, of Jerseyville, Ill, and w.
+. Shipper and Samuel Grobbs, of Chi
cago, crawled out of the wreck severely
hurt.
Several Pullmans in which were the
theatrical people remained on the track,
but the shock threw the passengers
from their berths, and Manager Duncan
b. Harrison, of the Digby Bell company,
was seriously hurt about the chest.
Others were injured more or less Sc
riously. The injured were taken to a
nearby house and cared for. Engineer
Rafferty, was found TO have fractured
skull, internal injuries, a broken arm
and two broken legs. The trainmen
said that tramp who was stealing a
ride was under the wreck and WINS nrob-
ably dead. Heavy loss of life was pre-
vented only by the support given the
Pullmans by the overturned baggage
cars. All the scenery, property and
wardrobe. as we'll as the personal eff
fects of the Digby Bell company, were
completely destroyed.

ROBBED A BANK.


Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 3O.-A spe-
cial to the Times from Elmdale, Kan,
says: Shortly after midnight Sunday
cracksmen literally blew the vault of
the Exchange bank to pieces. Nitro
glycerin was used three times and ex-
plosions were heard for miles. Before
the third explosion occurred citizens
surrounded the bank and fired into ii
promiscuously. During the great ex-
element the robbers escaped from a
rear door, taking with them $1,000 in
money and $500 worth of drafts. This
made up all the money in the vault,
save 12S silver dollars, which were on
top shelf.

MAY HELP MINERS.
Small Operators Revolt Against the
Rule of Their Big Rivals.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 30.-The big
coal operators who control the lake
business are about to face another
force in addition to the strikers. The
small operators, who are in the MAORI
ty in the Pittsburgh district, have at
last broken out in open revolt against
the dictation of the big thirteen" as
the lake shippers are called. They
openly defy their former masters, and
declare they will open their mines at
once, conceding the price demanded by
the strikers. If the plans formulated
by the small operators are carried out
it is more than probable that their
mines will be in operation by the lat
ter part of this week, and the price paid
10 the miners will be 90 cents per ton.
They have been willing to pay the de-
mands of the miners ever since the
strike was inaugurated. Owing 10 the
fact, however, that they sold their coal
to the big thirteen" or companies
composing the lake-shipping syndicate,
President Dolan refused to give his con-
sent to allow their miners TO work.
These smaller operators now have plans
which they will present to the presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers, and it
is thought he will approve of them, and
the strikers will gain temporary vic
tory.
The big thirteen" are the owners
of the different mines where the most
bitter fight against the demands of the
miners is being made, and they prac-
tically contro! the coal trade in this
part of the country. The small opera
tors had to sell their coal to them for
whatever price was offered, and the
rate paid hardly allowed them enough
TO pay expenses. Last year the price
offered to the independent operators
was so low that several of them closed
their mines entirely. They have been
wanting to throw off the yoke OF de-
pendence on the "big thirteen" and
think they now have plan by which it
can be done.
District President Dolan said thatif the
small operators could show how they
were going to sell their coal outside of the
syndicate he would readily give his con-
sent to their plans to resume work.

q RULER SLAIN.
President BOrda of Uruguay Killed
by nm Assassin.

Montevideo, Aug. 26.-Idiarte Borda,
president of the republic of Uruguay.
was assassinated yesterday afternoon.
The crime was committed just a few
minutes after the president left the ca
thedral, where he had listened 10 the
TIE Deum sung on the occasion of the
anniversary of the independence of
Uruguay. The assassin is Avelino Ar
redondo, an officer of the Uruguayan
army. He is a Uruguayan and only 81
years old. Now that Uruguay's chief is
dead, he is calm, and declares that he is
content with his action.
Arredondo, who is now in prison UNI
der close guard, declares that his crime
was not inspired by anything more
than personal hatred of the president.
He had. he said, no accomplices and is
willing to take upon himself all the
consequences of the deed.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
General Conditions Gratifying and
No Signs Of "a Reaction.

New York, Aug 2s.-R. G. Dun & Co..
In their weekly review of trade, say:
Speculative markets have had their
turns of reaction, but business has mono
this season, gaining with steadiness
which Is most gratifying. The starting or
works, increase in hands employed, ad-
vance in wages and I'm prices OF products
and the heavy movement of crops are
facts before which all speculative infiu-
ences have TO bow. The weeks dispatches
mention 16 iron works which have started
against one closing Is wooden works
started, and so in many other branches.
while many more works have increased
force and many are preparing TO resume,
and some have increased wages While
these things continue-with grain rising
and going abroad in enormous quantities.
money markets have reason for bounding
confidence, and speculative markets for
strength. Crop prospects are contradic-
tory, as usual at such time, but IL is note
worthy that none of them indicate any
thing less than an ample supply or the great
staple.
Bradstreet's says:
1.-THE general trade situation continues TO
improve, and aside from the unnecessarily
prolonged strike of the soft coal miners.
there is little in sight to cloud the outlook.
The feature of the week is the advance in
prices OF almost all leading staples, be-
ginning with an upward movement all
along the line in iron ana Steel steel Dill
lets are now so above lowest figures, bars,
$3.50; rods, three dollars. and plates. one
dollar. Bessemer pig iron is up % cents.
and foundry a like amount. Southern irons
are very strong on a continued active ex-
port movement. Lead, too, and soft coal
are higher, as is wheat, Notwithstanding
one or two reactions. Bradstreet's points
out that the statistics position Of wheat
is the strongest known since the United
States became a considerable exporter. and
that its price, as well as that Of bread. is
likely to materially exceed the present
weeks advances.
Following that for wheat, prices are
higher for flour, corn, oats, lard, potatoes.
butter, eggs, beans, cheese, leaf tobacco.
wool and live stock. Advances for leather,
hides, lumber and linseed oil are also re-
ported. Cotton, which is up three-siX-
teenths cent reports the smallest worlds
stock for seven years past at this period,
an improved tone and higher prices for the
manufactured product. In spite OF crop
damage, the tendency of estimates is to-
ward the largest total yield on record.
but with probabilities favorng much bet
ter prices than those obtained for the
crop of 1S94-5. Advances are being asked
for recorders of wooden goods at mills, bat
print cloths, petroleum and sugar are UNI
changed for the week, while pork IS re-
ported slightly lower than week ago. No
such general or pronounced upward move
ment of prices of nearly all leading staples
has been witnessed within a week for many
years"

CURED OF CHOREA.
How q Well-known Young Lady OF
Du Page Was Freed from %.
Vitus' Dance.
From the American. Newark. o.

Miss Francis T.. Barber, daughter of Mr..
Franklin G.. Barber, of Du Page, Ills, who
is one of the best-known citizens OF Du Page,
for the past year has been in a pitiful condi-
ton from chorea, commonly called st.
Vitus' dance. Miss Barber is a music teach
er, and overwork AID highly nervous tenn
permanent brought on the disease. The best
physicians were called but they could do
nothing for the young lady, and she got so
bad and the spasms became SO fierce at times
that it often required three or four persons
to hold her. The contortions of her face at
such times were fearful TO behold and filled
those who saw her with horror. While Miss
Barber was thus suffering, with no seem
ing prospect of relief, the distracted father
and mother heard of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, and as last resort they determined to
try them on the daughter.
After taking less than one box of the pills
the spasms ceased and the twitching of the
four boxes had been used all signs of st.
Vitus' dance had gone, her health was re-
stored and to-day she is one of the health
lest and rosiest girls in Du Page.
In six months from the time Miss Barber
began to take the pills she was able to re-
sumo her occupation as music teacher, and
never has felt the slightest symptoms of the
old malady. The young lady is the niece
of r. e.. Barber, Esquire, the well-known
lawyer of Joliet.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DIR. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, n. Y, for
80 cents per box, or six boxes for $3.50.

In the forward march of science na-
lures methods are being closely initiated
in the laboratories of the synthetical
chemist who has already been able to
make an artificial quinine which con-
tains most of the therapeutical proper
ties of the real article. Two German
chemists working in Berlin have just
produced an artifcially prepared caf-
feline, the alkaloid to which both tea
and coffee owe their refreshing stimu-
lating and analgesic properties.
AS may be readily imagined, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, the process by
which this has been done is exceedingly
elaborate and costly, but the discover
ers are not without hope that they will
be able to simplify and cheaper it SO as
to bring it within the region of practical
economics, as has been done with many
of the coal-tar preparations which,
though now exceedingly cheap, were
very expensive when first produced.
Should the anticipations of these two
gentlemen be realized cup of tea or
coffee will resolve itself into question
of minute pellets; one Of the alkaloid.
one of saccharine, and one of highly
concentrated milk, which will only
need to be put into a cup of boiling
water to be an efficient substitute for
the real article.

At this moment thousands of men are
standing at the crossroads of life. Death
in the guise of foolish ambition coaxes
them to take one road, while health and
happiness in the form of wife and babies
coax them to take the other. For the sake
of few added dollars will they continue to
over-work and neglect the commonest pre-
cautions for the preservation of health, or
will they listen to love and reason and draw
back before it is too late Z A man may do
