Trained perai1ed.

Oakland Md special: Train No. 2
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from
Cincinnati and st. Louis was derailed one
mile west of here on the bridge. The en-
gine, postal car, baggage car and forward
coach left the rails and the first sleeper
rolled into the river. The other two did
not leave the track. A number of per-
sons are injured and one man was killed.
1t is the impression that either the post
al or the baggage car was first derailed,
breaking the bolts of the angle plates and
throwing out of place the north rail,
which caused the derailment of the entire
train. The actual cause is not known.

Accused Murderer win Go Back to Austria ia
and Stand Trial.
Frank Butler, alias Ashe, alias New
man, the accused murderer of Captain
Lee Weller, Arthur Preston and Charles
Burgess, has decided to give up his fight
against the efforts of Australian police to
secure his extradition from this country.
He gives as his reasons for this action
that he has no hope that the United States
Supreme Court will reverse District Judge
Morrow, and he cannot stand the cost OF
carrying the matter to the court of last re-
sort. Butler says that ultimately he will
have to go on trial for his life, and the
sooner the thing is over the better it will
be for him. He will go back and face his
accusers and depend upon the loopholes
of the Australian criminal law for his es-
cape from the gallows.
