COLLISION ON THE coNsoLIDATED.
One Man Killed and Fifteen More or
 Less lniured.


 Taunton, Mass, Sept. 6.-Two trains over the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, one from Boston and the other from the Kneeland street sta tion, came into collision at Whittenton Junction, about two miles above here, just before o'clock tonight and in the wreck which followed fifteen per- sons were more or less injured, several of whom were in a dying condition when taken from the wreck.

 The Whittenton Junction is an im- portant one on this line of the road. The tracks from Mansfield, where the tracks leave the Providence division for this city, is comparatively. straight all the way from the main station in this city. On the other hand, trains coming over the Plymouth division from Kneeland street, by way of Braintree, leave the main line at Rayn- ham, sweep around sharp curve and come into the main track from Mans field at Whittenton Junction. There is tower at this junction from which interlocking signals protecting. each track are worked by signal man.
 
 within five minutes of each other. The train from Park Square left Boston at 6:45, while the train from Kneeland street left fifteen minutes later. For some reason the Park Square train lost time on the way down and arrived at the Junction five minute late, or at time when the Kneeland street train was due. The engineer of the Park Square train, on approaching the june ton, slowed down, but kept on for the switch as the signals on his line were set at safety. Just as this train reach ed the switch the headlight of the en- zine of the Kneeland street train fash ed round the curve. The engineer of the Park Square train put on the emer- gency brake with such suddenness that nearly every passenger was thrown forward. On the other hand the Kneeland street train did not slow up to any great extent but kept on and crashed into the Park Square train at the third car, tilting it on its side, off the tracks. The blow was a glanc- ing one and the engine kept on to the next car, which was combination baggage and smoker.

Not to exceed fifty sick of the Fifth army corps now remaining. Am pie transportation for them" The of ficials are encouraged by this statement to hope that the tide has turned, and that from this point on the disease of the camp will diminish rapidly at San tiago.

REPORT FROM DAWSON CITY. American Consul McCoOk Says Prices for Provisions Are Very High.

Washinton, Sept. 6.-Consul McCook reports to the state department from Dawson City under date of August 4, 1895, that prices for provisions are very high, (exceeding by 25 per cent. those of last year), and ledging is hardly to be had at any price. Outsiders, he says, cannot realize the conditions; des- titution and suffering is imminent for many unfortunate prospectors who are unable to get away. No one, he con- tinues, should go to the gold fields with out at least two thousand dollars and supplies for two years. The output of gold, he says, has been exaggerated fNR-fnll-

THE POPULIST CONVENTION
THE BUTLER F.4 4CTION BECOMES
 DISSATISFIED AND BOLTS,

Nominated for President and Igna-
 titus DonneIIy for Vice President
 Platform Adopted Incorporating the
 Provisions of the Omaha Platform
 The Vermont EIectton-R Republican
 Cnucuses in Connecticut.
 Cincinnati, Sept. 6.-The populist na- tional convention got into such a row this afternoon that the manager of the Lyceum ordered them to leave the hall, fearing the destruction of his property. Order was finally restored by the But Ter faction bolting and leaving the hall. The convention then nominated Whar- ton Barker of Pennsylvania. for presi- dent, by a vote of 12S 4-5, as against 97 1-5 for Ignatius Donnelly of Minne- sota. On motion of MT. Donnelly the nomination of MT. Barker was made unanimous and then Donnelly was nominated for vice president by accla- nation. The disturbance In the con- vention was caused by the bitter op- position of the Butler faction to the making of nominations by this conven- tion The bolting delegates said they were instructed not to participate in the nomination of a ticket.
 A patform was adopted which incor- porated the provisions of the Omaha platform as well as the address adopted at the morning ession. The declara- tions in the platform do not differ from those of other platforms except in the plank. which especially denounces Sen ator Marion Butler of North Carolina as chairman of the national committee for attempting to drive the populist party into the democratic organization The resolutions also provide for the organization of the party with Milton Park of Dallas, Tex, as chairman. The convention adjourned without fixing any time or place for another convention, but delegates consider their campaign for 1900 now opened. The most important action of the conven- tion was the adoption of the referen- dunn system as the cardinal principle in the future of the government of the re- organized party. The new rules pro- vide that the peoples party shall never again hold delegate convention of any sort, national. state or local, but that the nominations for all officers shall be made the ''inititiative or referendum adopted by popular vote" A resolution was adopted providing that new na- tion committee, of which Milton Park Is chairman, shall take action in the courts or otherwise to see that the names of all the candidates of the peo- ple's party in localities shall appear in the regular and legally prescribed bal Jote

4 FRIGHTFUL DISASTER A Great Railroad Bridge Constructing Over the
 St. Lawrence Sud-

60 WORKMEN CARRIED DOWN
DEATH LIST OF FORTY TO FIFTY
 MAY RESULT.
The Fall to the River Fully Sixty Feet Thirty-three Victims Taken to the Hospital at Cornwall, Ontario-Eigh- Over Twenty Workmen Remain in the River.

the River.
 Cornwall, Ontario, Sept. GA most appalling disaster occurred near here to-day, and its result will probably make death list of forty to fifty. The great railroad bridge now being erected across the St. Lawrence by the New York and Ottawa railroad gave way about noon, sending upwards of sixty workmen down with the debris into the mighty rushing river. fully sixty feet below. That a single man survives is almost marvellous.
 Thirty-three of the victims have been brought to the hospital here, and eighteen of these are dead. It is be- lieved that over twenty yet remain in the river, and it is said that the death roll will not be completed for many days. The workmen were largely from the New York side of the river, and it is almost impossible to obtain their names. A number of the victims were Indians from the famous St. Regis tribe, whose reservation is in the north western part of Franklin county. An eye witness to the terrible affair says that he was sitting on the bank of the river watching the busy workmen above him, when suddenly, without warning, there came fearful crash, two spans of the bridge collapsed, the immense mass of timber and iron drop ped down and the agonizing shrieks of the men who were being crushed in the wreck were drowned by the rushing waters. Then he saw floating bodies coming to the surface and the work of rescue began. This was helplessly in- adequate, there being only few boats in the vicinity and very few men who would undertake to swim out in, the turbulent waters. Many who might have been saved were drowned before help could reach them. Piteous, ap pealing faces sank before the eyes of helpless onlookers.
 Broken bodies came to the surface for a moment and then passed out of sight, perhaps forever. It was terrible and heartrending scene. Even those who got to land alive were in such condition that many died on the way to the hos pital. Some had their backs broken, OIH0TS pOlu lcSS, WILLIE WSl . crushed by the heavy irons. The town is in a terrible state of excitement ow- ing to the number of local men en- ployed on the work. Women are look ing for husbands; mothers after sons, and friends after friends. Among those who are missing are Cyril Campbell, William Jackson, Craig Wilson and w. c. Cubby. About forty of the men em- ployed on the span were those who came here to work for the Phoenix Bridge company. The remainder were mostly Indians, who acted as assistants. Every man on the division went down with the wreck.
 Many of those who escaped climbed up the iron work which still rested on piers at either end. The piers were built by the Smith company of New York. The scene around the Hotel Dieu, where the wounded and dying were taken, Is heartrending one. The wives and relatives of missing men are making anxious inquiries.

FIRST REPORTS OF BEvOD ODr.
Candia Under Bombardment by War
 ships of the Powers.


 Canea, Crete, Sept. 6.--Candia is be- ing bombarded, the British troops, which have been acting as police since the Greek war, are fighting the Mussul- mans, riots are in progress and fires have broken out in various parts of the city. The Mussulmans started the dis turbances. Crowds of them, supposed ly unarmed, assembled in the principal square of the city to protest against the favoritism which they allege the powers are showing to the Christians. They threaten to burn the houses and destroy the property of the Christians unless the state of affairs complained of is remedies. The Turkish governor offered to help the British.
 London, Sept. 6.-There is no doubt that Candid is being bombarded by the warships of the powers which have been stationed in the waters of the Isl- and of Crete since the powers took joint control of that island. The advices from Canea were received this evening from 0 correspondent there, who also cabled that he feared for the safety of his colleague at Candid, as he was un- able to communicate with him. The fact that no dispatches were received from Candid after the bombardment began seems to indicate that the situ- ation there Is serious. It has been known here that the Mussulmans were discontented at the joint rule of the powers in Crete. This was largely due to the fact that they were confined in the towns, while the Christians were allowed the liberty of the island. But the rising of the Mussulmans was un- expected.
 The Cretan fleet is under the cons mand of the French admiral Pottier, as the senior officer, and consists of British, French, Russian, Italian and Austrian ships, Germany having re- gently withdrawn from participation in the joint control or government of Crete. The troops of the powers are divided among the different towns, the British garrisoning Candid. The Mus sulmans complain that they recently consented that the Christians should be permitted to enter the towns on condi- tion that the Mussulmans were allowed the freedom of the country, and they further declare that the representatives of the powers have not fulfilled the lat ter part of the bargain, and that while they are confined to the towns, the Christians pillaged their property in the country. The British consul at Ca nea has started for Candid on board the British battleship Camperdown.

Canea, Sept. 6.-Four warships have started for Candia, where 1t is reported three English persons have been killed and four wounded and six Mussulmans killed.

 Jealous of Christian Office Holders.
 Candid, Island of Crete, Sept. 6, 8 p m.-Candia is in state of anarchy. A collision between the Mussulmans. who were demonstrating against European control, and the British authorities who have been installing Christians as revenue officials, eliminated to-day in bloody fighting between the Mussul. mans and the British troops. Riots took place in various parts of the city, and many have been killed. When thu outbreak was fiercest a warshfp sta. tioned in the harbor began firing shells with the result that portion of the city is in flames The greatest oonfu- sion and uproar prevails, and it is fear. ed that the night will not pass without further pillage and destruction.
 The trouble began with the attempt of the British authorities to install Christian officials. They had appointed council of international control to ad- minister the tithes and revenues, and a detachment of soldiers was stationed outside the office as a precaution. Mus sulmans, demonstrating against the Christians, attempted to force an en- trance into the office. The British sol- diers fired and wounded several. The Mussulmans ran for their arms and. re- turning, attacked the soldiers. Other Mussulmans spread rapidly througl, the Christian quarter, shooting into windows and setting many houses and shops on fire.
