Rs the result of a wreck on the Chatta-
nooga, Rome & Southern railroad, be-
tween Chattanooga and the volunteer
camp at Chickamauga. The dead and
injured all belonged to the First regi-
ment Missouri volunteer infantry. The
list of casualties are:
Dead.
George Walker, artifcer, Co. D.
The Injured.
Alfred NJ. Lane, private; both legs
broken.
Howard Brolaski, private; leg broken
and internal injuries.
E. R. Richards, first lieutenant Co.
ders.
Z. h. Feidell, private; badly cut
about body.
Ed I.avinsburg, private; three ribs
broken,
VIM. Moffatt, Chattanooga Times re-
porter; badly injured about the body.
The names of a number of other
wounded can not yet be secured.
Jack McCabe, a section hand, was
killed by a passing military train just
a few minutes before the casualty to
the First Missouri train.
There were several others slightly
injured.
The train on which the damage was
done, was carrying the Missourians
from Chattanooga to the park. The
last car of this train was loaded with
horses of the officers.
The military train was standing on
the Chattanooga, Rome & Southern
track, just beyond the crossing of the
belt line, about half mile from Ross
vile. 1t was crashed into by the reg
ular south-bound morning Chattanooga,
Rome & Southern passenger train. 1t
is said that there was no fiagman on
the military train.
The shock was very severe. The To-
connective of the regular train was
damned into the horse car, which was
the next one forward. The man who
was killed and those badly injured
were all on the horse car. Everything
was done to stop the passenger train
when the other was seen, but it was
going at great speed.
The engineer, w. C. Wheeler, stuck
to his post to the last and escaped with
only manned ankle. He and his fire.
man were at once arrested and placed
under squad of soldiers. They are
gravely censured by the soldiers for
running sorapidly with special ahead
of them. All the horses of the officers,
valuable animals, were killed. The
forward coaches of the military train
were badly shaken, but no injury was
done anyone in them. The damage
would have been much greater had
the train not been made up in
exactly the reverse of the usual
order. If it had gone out in reg
ular order the sleepers would have been
in the rear and the officers who occu-
pied them would have been killed in
stead of horses. The wounded, about
twelve in all, were taken at once in
charge by Surgeon Wills of the first
battalion of the regiment. Col. Edwin
Batdorf, commanding the regiment,
was doing everything possible for the
sufferers.
Lieut.-Col. John Jacob Astor, of New
York, as well as a number of officers,
were on the regular. train, but were
not injured.

The Last Hours of the Great Man.

HAwARDEN, May 19.-Though the
news of Mr.. Gladstone's death, which
occurred at a M, spread rapidly, it
was the tolling of the Hawarden
church bell which carried the sad It'd
ings to every Borrowing home in this
vicinity.
Slowly the details of the last mo-
ments of the great statesman are com
ing out of the castle, where the grief
is too profound to be intruded upon.
The family was summoned at a. m,
owing to the perceptible sinking no.
ticed by the medical watchers. From
that time until Mr.. Gladstone peace
fully passed away no one left the death
chamber. The only absentee was little
Dorothy Drew, who had tearfully COM
planned that her grandfather did not
recognize her.
Even IN that hour of agony kindl y
thoughts for others were not wanting.
The old coachman, who had been una
BILE to be present when the servants bid
farewell to the dying man, was sum-
-.noned and remained to the end with
his master.
At 500 e. m. DIR. Dobie took his leave
of Mrs. Gladstone and returned to
Chester, deeply affected. Indeed, al
most everyone around the castle was
in tears.
Dr. Dobie said he had been assisting
DR.. Bliss and Henry Gladstone to draw
up statement of Mr.. Gladstone's last
hours. which will shortly be ready.
The American Ambassador Sends Con-
dOlence.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived at Hawarden from United States
Ambassador Col. John Hay:
To RI. HON. HERBERT GLADSTONE beg to
present to all your family my heartfelt express
sion of sympathy at your personal loss, and at
the same time to reverently congratulate you
and the English race everywhere upon the
glorious completion of life filled with splendid
achievements and consecrated to the noblest
purposes.
CSignedl JOHN HAY.
Further details from Hawarden cas-
tie of the passing away of the great
English statesman show his end was
the most peaceful imaginable. There
was no sign of pain or distress. Mrs.
Gladstone clasped her husbands hand
and occasionally kissed it, while
prayers and repeated hymns.
The nurse in the meanwhile bathed
che brow of the patient, who showed
gratitude, murmuring: How nice. :"
Then came the gentle, almost imper
ceptible, cessation of life in the midst
of his sons prayer, and the weeping
family slowly filed from the room, TAX
ing Mrs. Gladstone, who was indu ced
to lie down, and who soon slept quietly.

THEY WANT To BUY
Offers to Purchase Street
Railway Franchise
FABULOUS SUMS OFFERED
Wichita Is Rapidly Moving to
a Great Triumph,

Yesterday morning Church & Co. receiv-
"a a fifth offer for the purchase Of their
franchise authorizing the construction OF
Street railway. In the five offers the price
has ranged from 5000 up to $4,000. In
sariably the Church people have replied
that they have secured the franchise for
.hs purpose of building and not for selling,
and in no instance have they considered
The proposition of selling for a moment
The propositions made include capitalists
and business men from Boston, Chicago,
Kansas City and Wichita and indicate TO
The satisfaction of the most incredulous
that Wichita, according TO conditions
'&lich have made other cities great, and
according 70 the prophecy OF shrewd bua-
hess men. is 10 be one of the great cities
Of the west.
The offer which this article is meant to
refer to gin particular is that OF local
syndicate, headed by ]. o, Davidson.
Wichita right now offers promise of the
most remunerative investment; the great
est development commercially, of any city
vest of Chicago. There are thousands Of
people who believe that within the next
eight years Wichita Will have a population
Of 5000 easily and that any well con-
eidered investment will double in value.
Il is now settled by advlces from Mr.. II.

VII begin on or before October 20, and the
lines to be pushed 10 rapid completion.
The first DAY of January, 1899, Will in all

central point on Douglas avenue or Main

only with fair intelligence can see that
Wichita is on boom. Not the transient,
bursting boom, nor the Elusive imitation
% values which sent Wichita whirling to
fame and disaster some years ago, but that
So..d and permanent development which
shall make the city great. The scramble
10 get hold of the street car franchise is
proof Of this statement The constant ad-
Qit.on of wholesale establishments confirm
il. There are no vacant houses here now.
People who are DESTROYS Of coming here to
send their children TO school cannot get
