Wreck Near Celeste.

Greenville, Texas, July 3.--At Celeste,
thirteen miles north of this city, yes
terday afternoon at 1870 O'Clock a
freight train on the Santa Fe colllded
with the northbound Katy passenger,
wrecking the engine of the Santa Fe
and the chair car and Pullman coaches
of the passenger and injuring four peo-
pie. The injured are:
Mrs. @. II. Hack of Indianapolis,
Ind, bruised about the head.
E. G. Greenlee of Rock Rapids, Iowa,
back sprained.
S. Il. Marshall of Whitewright, Tex
as, ankle fractured by jumping from
car window
Jacob Krakner of Houston, Texas,
severe conclusion of the head and serl.
Gus internal injuries.
The physician says that Krakner is
fatally injured. The collision occurred
at the crossing of the Katy and Santa
Fe roads, and was caused, so it is stat.
ed, by the failure of the air to work
on the freight train.
The injured were taken to Denison
accompanied by surgeons.

TEACHERS OF TEXAS.
THE ASSOCIATION ADJOURNED
AFTER PLEASANT SESSION.
An Important step to be Taken-If College
Association Succeeds in Its Aim the Lone
Star State VIII Gain Renown-Wreck
Near Celeste.

Waco, Texas, July 3-The state
Teachers association adjourned yester-
day, having held four days session
and followed in every detail the elabo-
rate programme arranged for them by
their venerable president, Dr. j. Bald
win. That the teachers have enjoyed
themselves is uttested by the fact that
not single delegate has recorded Il
complaint. Superintendent w. $. SUIT
ton, who was at the head of the state
school cf methods. said yesterday that
the teachers were well plased with
Waco and nothing but praise of the city
and people had reached him.
The convention has been a very pro-
titable one to the teacher. A strong
determination to excel prevails in all
the departments and the devotion of
the teachers to the cause of higher edu-
in the future.
The movement inaugurated by the
college department to organize col
lege association is an important step,
and If it succeeds the leading educators
believe it will establish reputation for
Texas that will reverse present condi-
tons and turn the eyes of those seeking
educational advantages for their child
rem to Texas. 1t is believed that if the
standard Of the Texas colleges and uni
VerSities are all raised to uniform eX-
cellence and no diplomas are given eN-
cept in accordance with the customs of
the highest institutions of learning,
Texas parents would cease to send
their children abroad to finish their edu.
cation, but would patronize their home
institutions, thus inviting patronage
from other states. 1t must not be in
fCA ed that Texas has no first-class in
stitutions of learning. She has several
such schools, but they have suffered by
reason of the methods Of inferior
schools. 1t is considered necessary,
therefore, to organize n college associa-
ton which will raise these institutions
up to the standard or force them to as
sumo only academic authority This
movement has the sanction of DR.. Wins
ton, president of the State university,
and all the other leading educators in
| the State aSSOciatiOn

said so. Bill Pledger and Pink Morton,
two well known Georgia republicans,

Gary said that a colOred man would not
be appointed postmaster at places like
Atlanta, Savannah and Charleston. The

An Appeal for Minors.

Chicago, ILL.,, July Nv. d. Ryan Of
the United Mine Workers of Illinois
has written an open letter to United
States Senator Mason in which he
says:
The stand taken by you in behalf of
the patriots in Cuba deserves the conf
mendation of all liberty loving people;
but let me call your attention to the
condition of 10000 Of your constitu-
ents-the coal miners of Illinois. The
competition inaugrated by the coal
operators has brought about a condi-
ton Of suffering and restitution which
was never eQualled. We have been
forced to accept reduction after reduc-
ton until the price now paid is so low
that miners can not earn an average
of 10 cents day and the mines work
only half time. Taking an average Of
dollar day and three days work a
week, miner earns $40 month. With
family of five-a fair average-the
wife has less than 3 cents for meal,
to say nothing of clothes, rent, etc, l
doubt If any more lives have been lost
in Cuba since the insurrection COM
menced than in the mines in Illinois
during the same time, and l am certain
there are no more women and shildren
hungry in Cuba at the present time
than among the families of the miners
of Illinios.
Do something to put the idle miners
of Illinois to work at fair rate of
wages and l will guarantee that every
miner in Illinois will contribute at least
one days wages every month for the
benefit of az down-trodden people of
| Cuba.

Stephen Girard, the infdel million
aire of Philadelphia, to whom statue
was dedicated last week, one Saturday
ordered all his clerks to come on the
morrow to his wharf and help unload
a newly arrived ship. One young man
replied quietly: "Mr. Girard, l can't
work on Sunday" you know our
rules?" Eyes, I know. l have a
mother to support, but can't work on
Sundays" well, step up to the
desk and the cashier will settle with
you" For three weeks the young
man could find no work, but one day
a banker came to Girard to ask if he
could recommend a man for cashier
in new bank. This discharged
youngma was at once named as a suit
able person. But said the banker,
"you dismissed him" Yes, because
he would not work on Sundays A
man VINO would lose his place for
conscences sake would make trust

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:

A foreign exchange says; Australia
at present is soiely tried by drought,
and that the trouble is serious may be
inferred from the great activity of the
church in making propitiatory appeals
and the proclaiming of days of prayer
for rain by the governments. In
Western Australia the greatest suffer,
ing is experienced. Within ninety
miles of the coast all the timber, with
the exception of river gums, has emf
tirely dried out. From Ashburton to
Gascoyne, should the drought continue
much longer all the stock, it is eX-
pected, will perish. The last summer
rain that fell there was in February
1892, and, with the exception of fair
fall of six inches in the winter of 1894,
only enough rain has fallen in that
district to keep the stock alive, al
though inland stations had no reason
to complain"

Chicago, July ga special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Toro Hoshi, the Japanese minister, Is
likely to be called at an early date. The
reasons for the minister's recall are
two-fold-not the least potent of which
is said to be the feeling of the mikado's
government and the minister toward
the government in Hawaii. The minis
ter himself feels insulted because the
state department did not apprise him
of the negotiations which led to the
signing of the treaty of annexation of
Hawaii, and while the Japanese home
government is incensed on account of
this and what it terms lack of con
sideration of its rights in Hawaii in the
framing of the treaty itself. the condi-
.tion of Japanese politics affords sec
ond reason for the minister's recall.

The Mark Lane Express, in its week
" review of the British crop situation,
says: We are unable to share the view
that the wheat is making seasonable
progress 1t is not thick, and the
growth since Easter has been extreme
ly slow, but last summers warmth is
still in the ground, and the autumn
store of moisture beneath the soil
should protect us from absolute dis
aster. Thus the outlook is for a
mediocre yield of 81 to % blu. A hot
dry June may improve the plant, but
we do OF believe full average can
now be obtained, even under the most
favorable circumstances In the course
of the survey of the wheat situation Of
continental Europe the Mark Lane Ex-
press says: In France the weather has
not been favorable. Even the minister
of agricultures good report of the
wheat only argues for yield of a.
600, 900 qrs. leaving 100000 qrs, to be
imported. The Prussian and Polish
wheat is promising, but cold rains in
Austria have reduced fine prospects.
Russian reports are mostly encourage
ing. The popularity of American flour
increases.

An Austrian officer who has long
been drill-master of the Persian army
is not one of the decriers of missions
aries and their work. A letter from
Persia quotes him as saying: "Tell the
church in America that l have seen
the missionaries and have studied
their work. 1t is not hui
man work; it is an angel work. They
are all angel" The officers confidence
in these messengers of light is greater
than his knowledge of English, says
the friendly critic, but what better
description than to call the spreading
of glad tidings "angel work."

Plttsburg, Pa, July 2.-As the result
of the failure of the joint wage con
ference of the Amalgamated Associa'
ton of Iron and Steel workers and
manufacturers to agree upon the scale
at the Youngstown conference all the
union mills closed down yesterday and
between 10000 and $4,000 men are
idle. This includes the skilled work
men and those depending upon them.
President Garland returned from
Youngstown Wednesday night. When
seen yesterday he said that he was not
discouraged at the outlook, but looked
FOR Il settlement after the annual re-
pairs at the mills have been completed.
Yesterday morning the employees of
Jones II McLaughlin's met and dis
cussed the proposed % per cent reduc.
ton in wages, which, it is said, is con.
templated. 1t is said that the meet
ing reported unfavorably upon the pro-
posed reduction.
The general suspension of work yes.
terday following the disagreement of
the joint conference committee Mt
Youngstown Wednesday can not be re-
garded as either Il strike or lockout.
Repairs are always made at this sea-
son Of the year and many manufac-
turers do not sign the scale until after
their plants have been overhauled. This
usually takes two or three weeks. In
the meantime the conference commit
tee will meet and endeavor to settle the
difficulties.
If the committee find that an arrange.
ment is impossible the strike can then
be considered as on in earnest.
The conference Of the plate wage
scale will be resumed today by the
committee of the manufacturers and
the Amalgamated association. All the
tin plate plants in the country with the
exception Of the four non-union con.
Germs are idle and u number of manu-
facturers are anxious to get to work.
The workers insist that they will make
no concessions, while the manufacture
ers are willing to grant at least 10 per
cent Of an advance over the present
rates.
