Hartford, Aug. S.-A New York. New
Haven and Hartford freight train was

which left Springfield for New Haven
at 5:55 p. m. When near Hartford the
train broke apart five cars from the en-
gine. The engineer proceeded with the
first section, and when near the Laurel
street bridge was signalled to slow up
to let the second section catch up, and
they came together with such force
that eight cars were derailed and sew
eral of them completely smashed. The
freight was most lumber in the wrecked
cars, but one or more cars were loaded
with pig iron.
A wrecking crew was early on the
scene. and it is expected to have tracks
cleared so as not to cause any delay to
travel. No blame is attached to any
one for the accident.

MYSTERIOUS DOUBLE MURDER.
North Adams Police Have No Clues to
Perpetrators OF the Crime.


North Adams, Mass, Aug. s.-There
have been no really important develop
ments to-day in the Reed murder case,
State Detectives Hammond, Whitney
and Pease, Deputy Sheriffs Frink and
Maloney, High Sheriff Fuller and Chief
of Police Kendall visited the Reed
house for the purpose of securing, if
possible, something that would
strengthen their theory that the mur-
der was committed by some person in
spirit of revenge. Many papers were
found bearing upon Mr.. Reeds busi-
ness transactions. The papers were
taken to the police station for examina-
ton and their exact nature and con-
tents is kept secret by the officials.
Some of the officers have run down
minor clues, but none of them proved
to be of Importance. They have called
in many business men and questioned
them as to Mr.. Reeds business rela-
tions and methods. The officers seem
to be at their wits end.
The medical examiner who held an
autopsy on the bodies of Mr.. Reed and
his sister yesterday, declines to make
any official statement as to his findings,
but it is understood that the autopsy
showed beyond question that the man
was beaten to death his skull being
terribly fractured. The woman's body
showed that she had been shot several
times. One ball entered her throat and
another her right temple, either being
sufficient to cause death, while third
lodged in her shoulder. The fourth bull
let passed through the lobe Of the right
ear and struck the wall of the room,
falling to the floor, where it was found
by the officers during their search to-
day. The bodies still remain at the un-
dertaker's rooms, where they are strict
ly guarded by the police, but no one is
allowed to see them.
The scene of the murder has been
visited to-day by large crowd OF peo-
pie. but the police have prevented any
one from encroaching on the premises

WILL BENEFIT CUBA,s CAUSE.
Interview With Emilio Agramonte, Presi-
dent of the NImrti Revolutionary Club.


New York. Aug. s.-Emilio Agra
monte, president of the Jose Marti
Revolutionary club, and the Marti
Charity association here, heard the
news of the killing of Premier Canovas
tonight at his nome on Lexington ave-
nue. and exclaimed:
''This is truly hard to believe" Then
he said: "Sagasta, who is head of the
liberals, will surely succeed Canovas."
And 1 feel certain that should Sa-
gasta succeed Canovas, he will follow
the same general policy in regard to
Cuba as Canovas made every effort to
do. 1t will doubtless be his idea to
bring about a relationship between
Spain and Cuba such as exists between
England and Canada. But such a re-
lationship Cuba will never accept. She
must have complete and absolute inde-
pendence.
Still it is my belief that the killing
of Canovas will be great benefit for
the cause of Cuba. 1t may even lead
to independence. Independence is the
only thing for Cuba.
Yes Sagasta will succeed Canovas.
Canovas was directly responsible for
the relations which existed between
the United States and Spain as re-
CARDS Cuba because his instructions
were so carefully followed out by
Spain's representatives in Washington
that President Cleveland could not act
in manner friendly to Cuba. The
death of Canovas cannot but help the
cause of Cuba"

Fells Did Not Attempt His Announced
Feat on Account of the Fog,

Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. S.-Wil-
liam B. Felts did not take his jump
from Pixies Peak to-day. With the
conditions of cloud and fog it would
have been a blindfolded leap to GER
tain destruction.
Felts went up to the summit of the
peak this morning, carrying his i'm
mense aeroplanes with him. Two
hours were required in adjusting the
big wings, but heavy clouds gathered
and slight snow falling at the time
convinced him that leap from the
peak would have been suicidal. The
leap was postponed, but Felts is still
on the peak tonight and it is said he
win remain until conditions are favor
able, when he will sail down into Colo
RADIO Springs, twelve miles distant.

NICHOLS MURDERERs SEEN.
Suspects Thought to Have Been in Lyons,
n. Y.-Police Are Active.

Lyons, N. Y, Aug. S.-The men sup
posed to be Charles A. Bonai, alias Ma
son, alias Smith, and David Weeks,
who are wanted for the murder of Mar
Gus Nichols at Daniels Farms, Conn.
July 20. and for whom thousand dol
lars reward is offered, were seen here
to-day in the vicinity of the railroad
yards.
The police were notified, but the men
disappeared, probably catching a
freight train. The man thought to be
Bonai tailed perfectly with the de-
scription, even to the struggling shoul-
ders. The moustache, however, is gone.
The police are confident that they were
the men wanted. The police at nearby
towns have been notified.

HIS BODY RECOVERED,
Remains of the Chicago Fireman, Morgan
Come to the Surface of the River.


Chicago. Aug. S.-The dead body of
Fireman Thomas Monagan came to the
surface of the river this morning and
the crew of a tug which was passing at
the time towed it to the Indiana street
bridge. where it was taken on shore and
removed to Ralston's morgue. 1t is be-
lieved by the firemen who were at the
fire Thursday evening that Monagan
was standing on the pier which extend
cd from the elevator into the water.
Some people who were standing on the
Indiana street bridge stated after the
explosion that two men had been seen
on the pier and that both were gone
when the smoke had cleared away. Who
Monagan's companion on the pier was
no one seems to know. His remains
are still unaccounted for.

MIRCHTNG COIL MINERS.
The Situation Remains Unchanged With
No Prospect of Peace.


No Prospect of Peace.
Pittsburg, Aug. S.-Although to-day
was considered day of rest among the
strikers, probably the most effective
work among the Plum Creek miners
was performed, and as result the
strikers have been assured that con-
siderably less than 200 men will be at
work tomorrow at this mine. A large
mass meeting was held at Camp Iso-
lation at Plum Creek this afternoon,
which in addition to about 1000 others
was attended by about 200 women, the
wives and daughters of the miners who
are still at work in Plum Creek mines
Notwithstanding the fact that depu-
ties visited the homes of these people
this morning and advised them not to
attend the meeting, nearly every wife
brought her husband with her. Be
cause of the many restrictions put on
the strikers, they have hitherto been
unable to get a chance to argue their
cause with the Plum Creek workmen
and the occasion given them to-day was
taken advantage of to the full extent.
They received assurances from over
100 men that they would join the strik-
ers tomorrow. The meeting to-day
was inaugurated by religious services,
conducted by Rev D. L. Lincoln, as
sisted by choir of twenty colored iu-
bilee singers, after which Mrs. Mary
Jones, the Chicago agitator spoke for
about an hour, putting the case very
plainly to her women auditors.
Cincinnati, o., Aug. S.-A special to
the Commercial Tribune from Evans
vile, Ind, says:
The marching coal miners of South
ern Indiana reached this city early
this morning and went into camp at
Garvin Grove, which place had been
secured for them by the Central Labor
union. 1t was the original intention of
the Central union to have a monster
mass meeting this afternoon, but the
plans were changed and the miners will
employ different tactics. Their cam
paign against the local miners will be-
gin in the morning. If the marchers
are successful here their next move
will be on Darlington, KY.
