COLLISION OF RAILROAD TRAINS.
SEVEN DASHED TO DEATH.
Only One Member Of the Woodward
Family Escaped.

An incoming train on the Southern rail-
way struck n wagon at Avondale crossing,
four miles from Chattanooga, Tenn, and
killed seven Of its occupants. The dead
are:
Mrs. William J. Woodward; her daughter,
Mrs. Lizzie Woodward Montgomery, aged
20; Mrs. Montgomery's two months old child
George Woodward, aged 90; Della Wood
ward. aged IS; Mary Woodward, aged Is;
Daisy Woodward, aged 10. The last two
named fingered several hours after the acci-
dent.
No limbs were broken, but 1t nearly every
case the skull OF the victims were crushed to
fragments, each body seeming to describe
an eclipse through the air and falling upon
its head, rs to 100 feet from the scene. Liz
ze Montgomery descended on the pilot Of
the locomotive and still held her two-year-
old sister, who escaped with a few bruises
and was the only one saved, In her life!ess
arms. The unfortunates were the family OF
a well-known farmer living near Kings
Point, Tenn. They were returning home
from Chattanooga in a wagon, and George
Woodward, the son, was driving. Nearing
the crossing the young man heard the dan
ger signal and tried to check his team.
which became unmanageable and dashed
on to the track. Fifty yards from the place
Abraham Laird, reversed his lever, having
given the usual danger signal. but too late
ID do any good. Every window in the
coaches was broken, and the engineers pilot
demolished.

A SHOT AT THE DAUNTLESS.
United States Dynamite Cruiser Stops the
Flli5uster From Sailing.

The first shot ever fired by the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvlus to stop q vessel was fired
Friday afternoon when the daredevil steamer
Dauntless attempted to slip by the cruiser
and the revenue cutter Boutwell,. The own
or OF the Dauntless, w. A. Bisbee, had been
refused clearance by the collector OF GUS
toms, and the following letter was then ad-
dressed to that official:
81 hereby demand of you that you allow
the steam tug Dauntless to proceed to sea
on her lawful business. We are willing to
make af1davlts that we will not violate any
OF the avs of the United States. viii you
kindly reply in writing whether you will or
will not allow said steamer to depart"
Receiving nc reply Mr.. BisOee started
down the river on the Dauntless. The Vesu-
vlus and Boutwell, both gave whistle signals
to the Dauntless to stop. As she was appar-
emily passing the cruiser without obeying, a
solid shot from one Of the rapid fire guns
was dropped In front Of the filibuster. The
Dauntless Immediately stopped and was
boarded by the lieutenant of the Vesuvius
and ordered back to her dock. The owner
will now sue the commander Of the Vesuvius
for illegal detention. The Vesuvius has been
ordered to leave Jacksonville and join the
M~arblehead at Key West.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR N CUBA.
WHY sANGuILY WAS FREED
Because It Wal Solicited In Friendly,
Confidential Way.

In publishing the royal decree pardoning
Julio Sanguily, the Madrid Gazette explains
that clemency was shown in this case because
the American Government Solicited the
liberty OF the convict in a friendly, conflden-
tial way and Sanguily solemnly promised
both Governments that he would not take
part In any hostile acts against Spain"
The decree sets forth that circumstances
have so changed since ~Sanguily's arrest as to
justify clemency.
III Impartial and many other newspapers
evince great displeasure because Congress
and the American press exhibit hostility to
Spain. Fear is expressed that the advent Of
Mckinley will be seized as a pretext for alter
ing the cordial relation existing under the
Cleveland-Olney regime. Premier Canovas
Is still confident that he will be in a position
to settle satisfactorily all foreign claims
The Government has cabled to Havana for
information SO as to be able to reply to three
American, two English and two French de-
mands, all substantially alike. The cases are
OF long standing, and the Governments men
toned want them settled promptly. One
French case has been pending IA months. 1t
Is for unwarranted arrest and damage to
property. Premier Canovas is determined
to compel the authorities in Cuba to act
quicker and properly In future.
