is dead and two fatally injured as the
result of a wreck this morning on thu
Chattanooga, Rome & Southern railway,
between Chattanooga and the volunteer
camp at Chickamauga. The dead and
injured all belonged to the First regi-
ment Missouri volunteer infantry. The

f. J. RICHARDS, first lieutenant Com
pany II, badly cut about arms and Shout

May others were badly burt, but not
fatally injured.
The train on which the most damage
was done was carrying the First Mis-
souri, from Chattanooga to the park.
The last car Of the train was loaded
with horses of the officers.
The military train was loading 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 regu-
lar south-bound morning Chattanooga,
Rome & Southern passenger train. 1t
is said there was no f1agman on the
military train. The shock was very
severe. The locomotive of the regular
train was damned into the first car
and this car completely wrecked
the baggage car, which was the next
one forward. The man killed and those
badly injured were all on the horse car.
Everything was done to stop the pas
senger when the other train was seen,
but it was going at great speed.
TRAINMEN ARRESTED.
The engineer, w. C. Wheeler, stuck
to his post to the last and escaped with
only MANNED ankle. He and his fire.
men were at once arrested and placed
under a squad of soldiers. They are
gravely cersured by the soldiers for
running so rapidly with a special ahead
of them.
All the horses of the officers, valua BILE
animals, were killed. The forward
coaches of the military train We're bad
ly shaken, but no injury was done any
one of them. The damage would have
been much greater had the train not
been made up in exactly the reverse
of the usual order. If 1T had been made
up in the usual way the soldiers would
officers who accompanies them, would
doubtless have been killed.
Col. Edwin Batdorf, the commander
of the regiment, is doing everything
possible for the sufferers.
Lieut. Col. John Jacob Astor, of New
York, as we'll as large number of Of
fcers, were on the regular train, but
were not injured.
In addition to the list of injured Civ
en- above, the following were badly
wounded:
R. H. FEIDELL, private badly hurt about
the body.
ED LAVINSBURG, private, three ribs
broken.
Times reporter, badly injured about body
The names of a number of other wounded
cannot yet be secured.
Jack McCabe, a section hand. was killed
by passing military train just few min
utes before the casualty to the First Mis-
souri, train.

OFF KEY WEST, May IS ION board
the dispatch boat Dauntless).-
Dauntless was a member Of Admiral
SIMPSONS feet during the latter's
cruise to intercept the phantom Span
ish squadron. The voyage lasted iif-
teen days and extended from Key West
to St. Thomas and return, the total
distance travelled being about 1900
miles.
When the cruise began 1t was be
lieved that the Spanish squadron Of
cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers and
torpedo boats, which had already sail
ed from the Cape Verde islands, WAS
bound for the West Indies 1t was Ad
miral SIMPSONS plan to put his fleet
between the Spanish vessels and the
port of San Juan, Porto Rico, failing
in this, to attack the fleet before it
could leave San Juan; or, If too late,
to engage the Spaniards anywhere on
sight.
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet, which left
Key West May 3, was composed Of the
battleships Iowa and Indiana, the
cruisers New York (aagship), Mont
gomery and Detroit, the monitors Ter
ror and Amphitrite, the torpedo boat
| Porter, the coalship Niagara and the
tug Wampatuck.
Leaving Key West on May 3, the
feet sailed in the direction of Ha-
vana, then turned eastward, keeping
in sight the lofty coast Of Cuba. At
night the beacons on the Cuban coast
were lighted as usual, but they gave
cr11i1 forx ho-; IL
enemies of Spain, for the war has
driven ships from the seas.
At night the fleet carried no lights,
but there was much signaling prac-
! ticed with colored lamps.
MONITORS TROUBLESOME.
Early in the cruise, the Terror and
the Indiana became troublesome be-
cause of mishaps to their boilers The
monitors were, from the outset, q
drag upon the progress of the fleet,
and, during most of the way to San
Juan, the New York lowed the Terror
and the Iowa pulled the Amphitrite,
the Porter often hitching on behind
the Terror. The officers of the fleet
had many unktnd things to say about
the "scabs," as they called the mont
tor.
On May the Montgomery went into
Cape Haytien to send dispatches to
Washington. The Montgomerys call
caused some stir, it is said, at Port au
Prince. where it is reported that the
whole north Atlantic squadron was
about to enter Cape Haytien and coal
Cape Haytfen's little pile Of slate anC
coal, price $25 per ton, would not fill
the bunkers of one warship. The Hay.
tien government is said to have or.
dered the general of the port to en-.
force neutrality to the letter. The
Haytiens are almost unanimously il
sympathy with the United State:
against Spain.
AT Cape Haytien rumors that thu
Spanish fleet had been sighted a

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
It's Excessive Use.

Common soda Is all right in It's place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but II was
never Intended for a medicine, and people
who use it as such will some day regret
ii.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach a
habit which thousands of people practice
almost daily, and ono which is fraught
with danger: moreover the soda only gives
temporary relief and in the end the
stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it accumu-
lated in the intestines, causing death by
Inflammation or neritonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets
arc large 20-grain lozenges, very pleas
ant to the taste, and contain the natural
acids, peptones and digestive elements
essential to good digestion, and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before II has time
to ferment, sour and poison the blood and
nervous system.
DIR. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and finds
them certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create a healthy appetite, in
crease flesh and strengthen the action OF
the heart and liver. They are not a
cathartic, but intended only for stomach
diseases and weakness, and will be found
reliable in any stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach

Tablets at sec. per package.
