vile, Va, at :25 O'Clock Thursday af-
ternoon.

The cause OF the accident has not

on a sharp curve and was hurled
afainst rocky hill. All Of the cars
except the dining car and the Rich
mond sleeper, were derailed.
Two cars were plunged endforemost
down the steep embankment, and one
of them went into the Rivanna river,
which at this place skirts the tracks.
The day passenger coach and the ex.
press car were badly wrecked.
AS the locomotive plunged from the
rails and overturned, Engineer Duke
was hurled from the cab and crushed
under the engine, besides being terri
bly, scalded by escaping steam. He
was rescued by his fireman and the
conductor.
AS soon after the wreck as possible
the uninjured passengers and the
trainmen began the work Of rescue
and aiding the injured. Word was
sent to Charlottesville, and the wreck
ing train, with physicians, was imme-
diately dispatched to the scene of the
wreck.
Among the uninjured passengers on
the train were Senator Orville H..
Plat, of Connecticut, Commissioner
of Pensions H. Clay Evans and Rep
resentative Walter Evans, OF Louis
vile.
A later dispatch states that the &C.
cident was caused by the breaking Of
an axle of the first truck of the loco.

UNCERTAIN IN OHIO.
Both Republicans and Democrats Claim
Majority In Legislature.

Both Republicans and Democrats Claim
Majority In Legislature.
A Cincinnati special Of Wednesday
says: The democrats and republicans
of Ohio are both claiming the legisla-
ture. The democrats claim o. margin
of four and the republicans say they
have majority on Joint ballot Of three.
So the senatorship is in dispute and
only the official count will settle it.
Summed up the situation is this:
Both sides claim the legislature and
both sides are already crying fraud.
Each state committee has sent out
messages to all of the respective county
chairmen warming them to be on guard
for fraud. Hanna claims the legisla-
ture and has issued statement to that
effect. Mclean claims the legislature
but declines to make a public state
ment.
Neither side will surrender till the
official count is made and this will be
done by republican secretary of state.

which are necessarily more compact in
construction, are supplied with plen-
tiful currents Of dir circulating around
between decks, even in heavy weather
when the matches require to be bat

morality, too, is better when society is

MARKET SUMMARY.

CHICAGO. July 19.-The bulls in wheat had
their inning today, and more than recouped
Saturdays loss. September closed &c from
the bottom, a gain of 1850 for the day. Corn
and oats each lost 1sc. Provisions were 212Q
5s higher at the close. The Liverpool quota
tons. which had been the main source of
strength, were reported I'D lower this morn
ing, and Chicago had IS cars inspected into
store since Saturday morning, 90 OF this
years crop, reason enough for weakness,
which an opening decline of AQ12c indicated.
The total receipts at the five principal winter
wheat markets amounted to 341 ,949 blu, of
which pa, 900 blu was reported from Kansas
City. The visible supply, which was expected
to show about 800, 600 Blu reduction, decreased
l,2S5, COO bu. The amount afoat for Europe
is 300. 900 Blu smaller than it was a week
ago. Beerbohm's reported total reduction for
the week in European stocks of 2,0l6, 900 blu,
indicating about 5000, 900 as the total reduc-
ton in the worlds stocks. Exports from
Atlantic ports since Saturday were equal to
$40. 900 Blu. The decrease in the visible ex-
ceeding expectations, and some spring wheat
being taken here for immediate export, caused
a change in speculative sentiment. Septem-
Der, which got down to 69Hc in about an
hour from the start, recovered to OAc,
dropped again to 691ac, recovered to 7OAc,
dropped again 10 0J sc, anu ONCE more SldTlSu
upward, reaching 704c. Gables from Paris
quoting that market excited from speculation
and poor threshing returns had some effect
in helping the advance in the latter part of
the session. The price here became still
stronger towards the end. September wheat
opened Aq1Gc lower at 69AQ6913c, sold from
69Ac to $3.50, back to 691sc, then up to 71Ac,
closing with sellers at 711sc.
Corn was moderately active and inclined to
follow the direction natural to good reports
concerning the progress of the crop and the
increasing receipts. The receipts were 719
cars, and 1000 are expected tomorrow. The
visible a year ago was s $3.50, coo blu. After
the first hour corn followed the course of
wheat. September opened from 26AQ27c,
against &c on Saturday; declined to 26hc,
rallied to 26%c at the close. The market for
bears were sellers and elevator people did the
most buying. Prices had a small range, and
the advance in wheat detracted from the
market, and there was no Important develop
ment. The visible increased 81, COO bu. Sep
TENDER opened g. shade lower at 17h@18c,
sold at 17AQ17Bc and 1Sc, closing at 17hc.
Only $4,000 head of hogs in today's run, in
stead of $4,000 as estimated, started pro-
visions strong, and the frmneSs at the be-
ginning was fairly we'll maintained, in the
fac1 of some quite generally selling of small
