GAINESVILLE, O., March 23-Baltimore
& Ohio passenger train 1O5, leaving here
at 1:50 a m, because of floods between
here and Newark, was detoured by
way of the c. & NJ. V. and Pan Handle
tracks.
Four miles west of Trinway on the

gineer and fireman and several passen-
gers were killed.

The engineer and fireman were killed.
The passengers are being transferred
by boat
GAINESVILLE, o., March 23.-Any report
concerning the wreck at WakatOmika
Creek is almost impossible to obtain be-
fore the return of the special CORES
pOndent sent to the scene, Almost all
the telegraph wires are down. The best
Information Obtainable now indicates
that the crew and passengers have all
had a narrow. escape. It is stated that
so far as it is known, all the railroad
men and all the passengers aboard are
accounted for save the B. & 0. fireman
and the Pan Handle pilot, and it is re-
ported that these swan the stream and
escaped on the west bank. AS the train
approached WakatOmika creek, the
banks, weakened by the floods, gave
way and the engine, followed by all
the cars, rolled off into the backwater
that had spread over the fields from
the creek.
The engine was completely submerg-
ed and all the cars except the last went
gers escaped from such death trap is
not yet explained.

A New And Terrible Bullet.

1t is understood that the United
States government is contemplating
sending representative of the United
States army with the British: forces
in the coming Khartoum expedition,
chiefly with the view of learning
the effective qualities of the new
service bullet, recently adopted. by the
wRr5 Office and which will be used for
the first time in the approaching cam
paign on the Upper Nile. The effect
of the new bullet will be watched with
interest by the military authorities
of all nations. 1t is spoken of as "the
man killing bullet" in contradistinc-
ton to the maD-penetrating bullet
The case is of nickel, the base only be-
ing filled with lead. The conical end
is left empty, and when it strikes the
enemy, burrs. opens backward and
lodges in the body, penetration
being lessened and shock increased. In
this respect it is said to greatly surpass
the effect of the Mauser bullets which
have lately been used to some extent
by the Spanish soldiers in the Cuban
campaign. 1t is loaded with cordite
and gives as much energy as the old
Martini-Henry bullet of 410 grains
gave with the best gunpowder whilst,
being half the weight, a soldier is able
to carry double the number of rounds
of ball cartridges.

A conductor on the G. II. said yester-
day that he had a rather peculiar ex-
perience with q railroad spy Saturday
night. "You know" he SAID, I'VE are
not slow these days in locating these
undetermined workers. A man ap-
preached me at q small station down
the line and told me that his wife was
dying in Deming and that he wanted
to reach her before she died. He had
two children also who needed his at
tention and that he would sacrifice his
right arm to get to their aid. [
listened to him very attentively
and when he got through with his tale
of woe 1 asked him at what point he re-
ceived this sad Information and he told
me at Del Rio. When did you receive
it? Friday, he replied. When did you
leave there? 1 asked. Thursday, he
said, forgetting his first answer. then
asked him if he was sure he left Del
Rio Thursday, and he said he was:that
be had left there on a freight about 10
o'clock Thursday night. 1 did not say
whether he could ride or not and short
ly another hobo approached me for q
ride. This one impressed me as being a
thorough bOx-car traveller with years of
experience and 1 asked him If he knew
the individual to whom I was talking
and he said he did slightly: that he
had confessed that ne was In the Sc
cret service of the G. H. and had plen-
ty of money with him. Then an idea
stuck me. 1 went back to the sus-
picious looking individual and told
him that could save him 81 on the
trip by riding with me as far as Ell Pa
so. He gladly accepted my offer and
produced the money. 1 looked at him,
then at the money and then back at
him, straight in the eyes. He was
first to speak and he said: We'll, you
gilley, don't you want the money! 1
told him that 1 did not and further
more that did not want him on my
train. He put on q contemplate grin
and said was fresh guy aud onto my
job, and said he would be in Ell Paso
about as quick as I. He is in the city
now and will in all probability leave
for the west with the first one who
will be fool enough to carry him.
