STRUCK BY
AN ENGINE.
Unknown Man Killed on a Sink
ing Creek Trestle.
The coroner's Jury Pronounces His
Death Purely Accidental.

An unknown man was killed by being
struck by the engine oflocal freight 62,
Thursday morning, while he was walk
ing across trestle near Pierce.
He was seen on the trestle by the
engineer, but as the train had gained
considerable speed the engine could not
be stopped in time to save his life.
The victim of the accident was about
midway OF the trestle, which spans Sink
ing Creek, when the train bore down
upon him. He made no effort to get of
onto the projecting sleepers on both
sides Of the track. He seemed to give
himself up for lost and that he was pre-
pared for Ills fate was shown by his
throwing up his hands just az the engine
struck him.
After the accident his terribly man
glad body was picked up and brought to
Irvington.
Bion Jolly, the deputy coroner, held
an inquest over the remains. The man
was Ave feet seven inches In height, was
quite old, as was shown by his gray
beard and hair. He wore very comfort
able clothes, but a search of all the pock-
cts failed to reveal anything that would
identity the man.
The only article found on him was a
pair Of spectacles in folding leather
case. He wore a black derby hat.
The jury decided that the mans death
resulted from an accident and held the
railroad company and employees blame
less in the matter,
The remains Of the man were buried
near Irvington, the railroad company de-
fraying all expenses.

WILL DINE WITH PORTER
SPANISH PEACE COMMISSIONERS
WILLING TO BE CORDIAL.
Attempt to Commit United States to
Sovereignty of Cuba Fails-Ap-
peal to the Powers Urged.


LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Paris correspond
ent of the Times says: The Spanish peace
commissioners. to show their cordiality
have accepted his graceful invitation to
dine with General Horace Porter, the
American ambassador. on Tuesday Unfor-
tunately this does not make agreement or
progress more speedy
I'm reply to the Spanish statement the
American commissioners have declared that
the United States refuse to assume sover-
eighty over Cuba, but would remain in the
island to organize normal order and security
before handing it over to the authority of
the government of the new republic. The
Spaniards, however, remark that there can
not be an interregnum of sovereignty and
that a state cannot be left derelict, as such
a situation would be simple anarchy.
''It should be mentioned that in Cuba are
an American evacuation commission on the
one hand and Spanish commission the
other, and the many interests still possessed
by Spain in Cuba would not be guaranteed
if such anarchy existed. 1t is, therefore, a
pure fiction, say the Spaniards, if the Amer
leans declare that they cannot discuss the
debt of Cuba and the internal affairs of
the island. In such a case, to be logical,
Cuban instead of American commissioners
should meet Spain in Paris, as in Cuba"

MORE RECORD BREAKING
BIGGEST SEPTEMBER EXPORTS
EVER EXPERIENCED SAVE ONCE.
Indications Point to This Year Break
ing All Scores ON Value of
Goods Sent Abroad.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-The statement
OF September exports issued on Friday by
the treasury Bureau of Statistics indicates
that the calendar year 1898 will show the
largest export record of any calendar year
in the history of our foreign commerce.
No September save the exceptional one of
1897 has ever shown as large exports, and
no nine months period of the calendar year
has come within S100,000.0OO of the. record
made by the nine months ending with Sep
TENDER, 1885, The exports of the month
were 500 1858. while no preceding Septem-
Der, except that of 1887, ever exceeded
$S6,C.0OC0. the average September exports
of the past fifteen years being less than
$6S,CC0000. The average for the nine months
of the calendar year since 1884 has been
S6C4 OOC,000 thus the September expectations
and those of the entire nine months were
in each case more than 3S per cent in ex-
cess of the average of the corresponding
periods during the past fifteen years. the
September expectation of breadstuffs, while
materially less than those of September of
last year. are 80 per cent. greater than
those of September 1896, and double those
of September. 1895. Provision exports in
September were larger than those of Sep
TENDER, 1897. and for the quarter exceeded
by more than $2OOv0,OO0 the average of the
corresponding period during the preceding
three years. Exports of cotton, while ma
terially less in September than in the cor
responding months of 1897 and 1896, are, for
the nine months much greater in value
than those of the corresponding nine months
of any of the preceding three years, while
mineral oils for the nine months exceeded
in quantity those OF the corresponding
period of any other year. but are slightly
less in value than in 1886 and 1897 by rea-
son of the reduced prices.
The imports of the year present an equally
striking record. the total for the nine
months ending with September being less
than in the corresponding nine months of
any year since 1885, and more than $1OO 900, 900
below the average of the corresponding
period during the past decade While no
September in many years, except tn. ii
1891 and 1893, showed as small impoT.4
as the one whose record is just prese. a
The following table shows the imports and
exports of the nine months ending Sept

American merchant shipping on June 80,
1925 comprised q. 700 vessels of Las. 38 gross
tons on the like date in 1897 The decrease
of 1922 tons is more apparent than real,
as ii 900 tons of this amount is due to drop

compared with l ,230 of 500. 5S4 tons for 1897.
These figures are the lowest since 1852. The
erect of the war is shown. in the sale of
cighty-fcdr vessels of 35.411 tons to foreign
ers, compared with sales of S.243 tons the
previous year. The effect of the war is also
shown in the admission by acts of Con-

purposes. During the preceding esgnt years
only 55.9O2 tons were so admitted

negotiations at present are going with

pines, which is most obscure and which
lends itself to the gravest dissensions. Ow-
ing to the vagueness and lack of clearness
of the protocol, the commissioners are meet

said that, if our adversaries are obstinate
in their exaggerated demands, Senior
Sagasta should address TIE European gov

struggle now in fun vigor in the United
