I'd ohuptor Of Kings: "And it came 10 rass
when they were gone over, that Elijah
said unto Elisha: Ask what shall do Tor
thee, before l be taken away from thee
And Elisha said, 1 pray thee. let double
portion CT thy spirit bo upon mo-" In
his predatory remarks Mr.. Hanna al
lu led to the solemnity Of parting from
friends and the Miraculous appearance OF
chariot of fro and horses of fire and Eli
sha went up by whirlwjnd into heaven.
The mantel Of Eli jah fell on Elisha and
he was enabled TO restore tho barron land
to fertility, cause the wntors Of the Jordan
to separate SO ho could walk across the
river and perform many miraculous deeds.
Mr.. Hanna believed people could perform
tho same feats today if they exercised the

FOUR TRAINMEN KILLED.


Mistake Caused n Head On Collision
on the Southern Railroad.
knoxviile. Tenn, Jan. 9.-Four dead,
two injured, one of these perhaps ia
tally, and the loss of property of the
Southern railroad to the amount OF
about 100000 is the result Of wreck
which occurred yesterday on the Knox
vile and Ohio branch Of the Knoxville
division of the Southern railway, one
and half miles east of Elk Valley.
The dead are Engineer J. D. Maxey,
Fireman Frank Reddy (coloredD, Brake
man Ironsea Hoover (colored) and
Flagman w. A. Dillon.
The injured are: Engineer Goff.
badly but not fatally cut in the head
and bruised; Fireman George Huskin-
son, badly burned and may die.
Maxey, Reddy, Hoover and Dillon
were burned to death or killed under
meath the ruins Of three engines and
a number of cars and coaches of the
two wrecked trains.
A double headed freight train. loaded
with coal and merchandise, crashed
into a mixed local passenger train
while both were running at the rate of
35 miles an hour. The engines met
head on, the force of impact being ter
rife. The coming together of the two
trains was so sudden that the trainmen
were unable to jump and save their
lives. The passenger train was running
10 minutes late, having waited at
Knoxville for connection with a west
ern train. and had the right of way.
All the freight trains on the division
had been notified that the passenger
train was on late run, and the only
cause for the accident that can be
given is that Engineer Maxey. of the
freight train, misread orders.

The West virginia Senatorship.

Charleston, w. Va. Jan. s.-The leg

party leaders are already here for the
preliminary work in the organization
Of that body. Although the balloting
for successor to Senator Faulkner
does not begin till Monday, Jan. 20, the
most important action will be taken
within the next three days. The leg
islature is so close politically that its
control will depend upon Its organiza-

able settlement Of contested seats.
Among these contests are two for the
seats Of Republican members who
served in the army during the Spanish

Democrats elected members In their
places and have entered proceedings
in the courts to secure the seats.

Colonel Potter, General Otis Special
Emissary, Believes Our Troops OF
Ilollo VIII Land and Establish q
Camp ON Guimaras Island.
Manila, Jan. 9.-Colonel Potter, the
special emissary Of General Otis be-
tween Manila and Iloilo, arrived yes
terday afternoon with dispatches from
the latter point. The situation when
he left there was practically unchang-
ed The streets were barricaded, and 1t
was reported that the principal build
ings had been "kerosened," the insur-
gents having threatened to destroy the
whole business section by fire at the
first shot of bombardment. The banks
were shipping their treasure to the
United States transport Newport and
other vessels. The family of the Amer
lean vice consul has gone on board the
Newport.
Colonel Potter reports that President
McKlnley's proclamation had to be
typewriter aboard ship, as the print
ers on shore declined to work, and
when the text of the proclamation was
read to them ridiculed the notion that
conciliaton was possible.
Privates Harry Silvey and Frank
Kirkpatrick, of the Sixth United States
artillery, while guarding a water boat
astern of the Newport, were attacked
by the natives Of the crew. Private
Silvey's skull was fractured fatally
and Private kirkpatrick fell overheard,
but escaped with flesh wound.
The United States gunboat Petrol ar
rived at 1loilo on Friday, and Colonel
Potter reports that the United States
troops will probably land on Guimaras
Island, about midway between the
Island of Panay and the Island of
Negros. where camp will be estab-
lished
There Is no change In the situation
here. On Friday night public demon
strations were held in Pampanga.s
province, in ratification of Aguinaldo's
proclamation, and the excitement was
intense. In this proclamation Aguin-
aldo declares that he has natives and
foreigners as witnesses that the Amer
lean forces recognized, not only by acts,
that the Filipnos were belligerents, but
by publicly saiuting the Filipino flag
"as 1t triun2phantly sailed these seas
before the eyes of all nations" The
revolutionary leader then calls upon all
his followers to work together with
force, and assures them he is convinced
that they will obtain absolute inde-
pendence, and urging them never to re-
turn from the glorious road on which
they have ''already so far advanced"

the enterprise OF an American popula.
ton is sure to bring in, to create .
sacrifice such as has not yet been
known. Commerce, says Colonel War
ing, will carry the terrible scourge of
yellow fever to our shores. until we
rise again In war of humanity and
at all costs wipe out an enemy With
which no Larry valor can cope.
In conclusion Colonel Waring says:
"Would 1t not be wise to accept at
once the fact that we are confronted
with a danger compared with which
war Is insignificant, and proceed to
meet and conquer 1t while we
may? We cannot afford to walt
until we have fed 1t and strength
ened it with the lives Of our people
The necessary reforms will call for
costly works even now. But every
months delay will make them more
costly and more imperative. We can
and judiciousiy. Later, under the i'm
pulse Of panic. we should work at far
greater disadvantage"
Colonel Waring suggests many I'M
provements as absolutely essential to
the health of Havana. The cost of
these improvements, Colonel Warng
declares, will not exceed $1O,OO0,0C0. 1t
has been estimated, continues Colonel
Waring, that single epidemics intro
duced into the United States from Ha-
vana have cost In the Mississippi VAL
ley alone $500, 900, 900 In loss to industries
and to commerce, aside from the loss
Of life, amounting in 1873 and 1879 to
1891, In addition to the enormous cost
OF the sickness of those who recovered.
Colonel Waring further states that In
his judgment the complete execution. Of
the work indicated would completely
eradicate yellow fever from Havana
for all time, would relieve it from the
malaria which Is now SO fatal, and
would reduce its normal death rate
from Its present high figure (not far
from so per thousand) to about 20 per
thousand. He says the work must all
be done before June 1, 1899. If it Is
not altdone there is reason to fear that
yellow fever will he rife in Havana next
season, because of the large number of
unprotected persons who would go
there

CITY TREASURER AAIN.
Found Dying In His Oflice, Which HAD
Rcen Robbed,

Ecen Robbed.
New Castle, Pa, Jan. 9.-JOhn Blew
ins, city treasurer OF New Castle, was
found Saturday midnight in his office
unconscious and dying. His head had
been beaten to jelly, the safe broken
open and perhaps 5000 in money taken.
Saturday evening Blevins went to the
tailor's for a new suit of clothes. The
garments were not ready, and he went
to his office, which is over the Jail, to
wait until the tailor had finished. When
at midnight he had not returned home
his son went to his office. He found
his father lying on the floor, uncon-
scious in pool Of blood. He died
soon afterward. The robbers ami mur-
derers left no clew to their identity.
The prisoners in the Jail said they
heard sound as of something falling
about 9 O'clock and that was about the
time Blevins went to his office.
The city council and county commits
sioners each offer reward or $1,000,
making a total of $4,000, for the
arrest and conviction of Mr.. Blevins'
murderers. 1t is now certain that the
murder occurred about 1915 Saturday.
The police are Of the opinion that the
crime was committed by some one who
was well acquainted with the office,
and with whom the dead man also was
well acquainted.
