NORTH CAROLINA COLLISION.
Three Persons Killed and Six Badly
Injured,

Three Persons Killed and Six Badly
Injured.
The northbouud Florida special on the
Southern Railway, No. 36, and local south
bound passenger train, No. IL, collided at
Harrisburg, a small town thirteen miles
north of Charlotte, N. c., killing three per-
sons and wounding six
The northbound special was late in leav-
ing Charlotte, but was given the right of
way, its orders being to pass the local
train at Harrisburg, where there is a sid
ing. No. II had slowed up preparatory to
taking this siding, and was but 100 yards
from the north end of the switch when the
express running forty five miles an hour,
dashed into it. The two engines came to-
gether with terrific crash, which re-
sembled the sharp crack of thunder. Just
previous to the collision Engineer Tunstall
applied the air brake and jumped. Many
of the passengers ON No. 36 were thrown
from their seats, but none of them were
hurt. The two express cars on the north
bound train were shattered into thousands
OF pieces, and soon after the accident the
postal car of the local caught fire, but by
the use of chemicals the flames were ex-
tinglished.

WAR IS INEVITABLE

Transvaal Looks for War.

Transvaal Looks for War.
A London dispatch from Cape Town
says that the Het Dageblad, the Dutch
newspaper, declares that leading officials
OF Transvaal speak openly of war with
England as inevitable.
South Africa is mass Of unrest. The
agitation which has been confined to the
Iransvaal and Cape Colony is spreading
beyond those countries and now threatens
to involve the whole vast region south of
Zambesi. The existence of these troubu-
lous conditions has been for some time
within the knowledge of the colonial office.
But the strictest injunctions of secrecy
have been laid on the entire staff, and
nothing leaked out until the simultaneous
publication this week of news of revolts in
Bechuanaland and Delagoa Bay.
Both outbreaks are potentially serious.
The Bechuanaland difficulty is closer to
England, because Immediately within the
British sphere of influence. There the oc-
cupying troops have come into direct con-
flict with Galiskwe, one of the most capa-
BILE of the native chiefs, a gigantic and
daring black, who has been suspected OF
plotting mischief.
With an outbreak in Rhodesia but re-
Gently repressed, with outbreaks in GAIA
land and Bechuanaland now in full swing
it is natural that Englishmen should hesi-
tate to take false step in the campaign tc
crush the Boer oligarchy, which has been
resolved upon. Should war come with
the Dutch, it would be extremely embar-
RAISING to be menaced in the rear by a
widespread native revolt.

Rivers at Yankton

Further Rise of Foot in Both
Rivers at Yankton.
YanEton, April 13.-The jim river rose
about twelve inches today at the railroad
crossing, partially due to back water from
the Missouri, which also rose about one
foot. A large frame ice house has lodged
against the $4,000 iron wagon bridge across
the jim, and the bridge threatens to topple
over.
Meckling, April 1S.-Reports that Neck
ling and Gayville were under three feet of
water are without foundation. Farmers
have been seeding all week around Neck
ling. The water from the Jim river di-
vided above Gayville, part going to Clay
creek, to the northeast, and the other part
of it taking to the sloughs to the south of
both Meckling and Gayville.
Sioux Falls, April PA heavy and
steady rain has been falling for twenty
four hours and continues unabated. All
streams are rising and flood conditions are
aggravated. Farm work is interrupted.
Pierre, April 13.-The river is a point
higher than at any other time this spring
and is rapidly rising. AT present it is
about one point under IL feet.

deavoring to gain recognition as an inde-
pendent territory, separate for Minnesota.

Fishermen Resist sheriT.

The sheriff and force of deputies went
to Jones Island, near Milwaukee, for the

ANOTHER PEARL BRYAN CASE
Head and Headless Body OF a
Woman Found in Illinois.

Head and Headless Body OF a
Woman Found in Illinois,
Boys passing through some woodland
five miles northwest of Mt. Vernon. H.,
Monday, found woman's head lying near
the public road leading from Mt. Vernon
to Riverview. They reported their dis
covery and party was organized for a
search for the body. 1t was found 200
yards from the spot where the head lay,
with the flesh stripped from the bones,
both the trunk and head being so badly
decomposed as make to recognition i'm
possible.
The testimony at the inquest went to
prove that the body was that of woman
who was in that locality early last Novem-
Der. She refused to divulge her name, but
said her home was in Carmi, ILL.,. and that
she was going to st. Louis. The theory is
that another Pearl Bryan murder has been
committed. 1t is said a suspected party
left the country about the date of the
woman's disappearance.

Life-savers Avert a Disaster.

The schooner w. I. Chappell of Alpena,
Mich, lumber laden and with a crew of
five men, anchored off Au Sable in the
northeast gale. Shortly afterward both
anchor chains snapped in the fierce seas
and the schooner was driven before the
gale in helpless condition for several
miles. She was finally sighted by the life
savers at Tawn Point about four miles
above the station. The lifeboat immedi-
ately started to the rescue, and, after long
struggle with wind and sea, succeeded in
reaching the helpless boat. The life savers
were successful in working the schooner
into East TaWas.

escape from Jail at Clark Just how he got
out is a mystery, as the Jail was found
securely locked and everything intact.
One thing is certain, however, that all the
rascals in Clark County were not in jail
when Mike got out. This is the second
time in that county that prisoner confined
for similar otfense has been let out of jail
by outside assistance. There is doubtless
a duplicate key. Kerns was caught at

Liquor to Industrial People.

There are between 200 and 300 Indians in
the immediate vicinity of Flandrau be-
sides the Indian Industrial School there
with about three hundred pupils. Boot
leggers have been selling liquor to the
younger Indians and the pupils of the
school. Some time ago Superintendent
Davis of the Indian school took the matter
in hand and had one Charles Erickson, a
saloon keeper, arrested for selling liquor to
the pupils of the school. Erickson was in
dicted by the grand jury in the United
States court at Sioux Falls and will soon
been tried. Deputy United States Marshal
Lewis arrested Abe Hayes last week on
the same charge. 1t is the intention of the
authorities to run down the whole gang
and see that they get their medicine in
Uncle Sans court.

A Narrow Escane.

Mr.. and Mrs. Murray Westfall had a
very narrow escape from probable death
quite recently. They were crossing the
bridge south of Watertown, when one of
the spans gave way. He was driving
span of ponies one of which partly fell as
the bridge began to sink. Instinctively
both horses sprang forward as though shot
out Of cannon. At the first Jump they
landed on the solid portion of the bridge,
and by this time the carriage had sank
probably two or three feet, but the force of
the bound which the horses made drew the
carriage upon solid foundation. The team
had scarcely reached the turnpike when
the weakened span of the bridge plunged
into the water, which was fully ten feet
deep.

Exempt from Execution.

A decision handed down from the su-
preme court of South Dakota declares that
homesteads are absolutely exempt from all
executions. The case Involved was one
where foreclosure was being made upon a
mechanics lien, and the court decided that
neither mechanics lien nor lien for mater
ial furnished in the construction of build
ings for homestead can be enforced. This
is an important decision referring to the
constitution of the state, and the law can
not be changed without direct vote of the
DeODle.

Spouter Broke Loose.

The artesian we'll near Bonilla, when
has been flowing for nearly two years, has
broken loose and is flooding the surround
ing country. Last fall an attempt was
made to decrease the diameter of the stream
by attaching smaller outflow, and it is
thought that the great pressure thus
brought to bear upon the other parts has
wrought the mischief. AS there is no
natural outlet for conveying the water
away, the question of how to dispose of it
is becoming a serious one to farmers in that
vicinity

inspect the cave this week, after which the
opening will be enlarged. 1t is believed
the cave is connected with the Perris Cave,
at Put-in-Bay, and also with Flat Rock

area greater than that of the Mammoth
