Train Crashes Into Freight Cars-Some
Fifteen Passengers Injured.

New York, Aug. 3O.-An accommoda-

New York at Arlington, N. j., at two
o'clock this afternoon ran into some
freight cars at that point and caused
more or less serious injury to fifteen or
twenty persons. The freight cars had
broken away from siding and the en-
gine was smashed and derailed. The
smoking car was crushed and thrown
high into the air. 1t was loaded with
passengers. Turning over and over in
the air, it fell to the side of the track,
only to roll down the thirty-foot en-
bankment almost in splinters. The men
who were able crawled out from among
the broken beams and twisted iron to
help others. Baggagemaster Riker was
found crushed and bleeding almost at

bottom of the cut heavy growth of

CHIMBERLAIN,S SPEECH.


London, Aug. 31.-The Pretoria corre-
spondent of the Morning Post says:
''The Boer officials after reading the
cabled reports of Mr.. Chamberlain s
Birmingham speech, consider that war
is inevitable. The speech has undoubt-
edly infiamed the war spirit here. The
Beers are now all armed, except those
in Johannesburg. Their commissariat
is fairly good All the forts are amply
victualled The Johannesburg fort has
been strengthened with several quick
firers. The ammunition which Mr..
Schreiner allowed TO pass through Cape
Colony came direct to Pretoria. Presi-
dent Kruger does not hesitate to ex
press the view that war is almost in
evitable. He stocked the presidency
with ample supplies of provisions to Sc
cure his own person from privation and
he is often heard repeating the Eighty
third Psalm. The Matabeles are show
ing signs of unrest. The Beers are en-
ergetically engaged in poisoning the
minds of the natives against the Brit
ish and they approached the Zulu chief,
Dinzzulu, who appears undecided
which cause to espouse, But the Zulus
are preparing for the expected fighting,
and it must be remembered that Diniz-
zulu was deported to st. Helena with
several other chiefs and kept pris-
oner there for several years by the
British.

Hearing on Charge of Frand Made by
N.IfnnYO MichaeIs.

New York, Aug. 30.-The examination
of j. Mcleod Murphy of Torrington
Conn.,, who sold Jimmy" Michaels, the
bicycle rider, four horses and then fail
ed to deliver them, was begun to-day
before Magistrate Zeller in the Center
street police court, but was adjourned
until tomorrow in order to secure the
presence of Murphy's trainer, John S.
Campbell. Murphy, in the meantime, is
held in $1,500 bail, which was furnished
by Fred Aldhouse, builder of 101
East 11Sth street. Michaels' story was
brief. He said he had paid 50 900 to
Murphy for four race horses and he
received an order for the horses.
When he presented the order to Camp
bell at the Gravesend race track he was
told that it was worthless, as Campbell
was a partner in the ownership of the
horses. Then he procured a warrant,
and Murphys arrest followed. Murphy,
through his counsel, T. c. Campbell
claimed that Campbell, the trainer, only
had an interest in the winnings of the
four horses and not in the horses them
selves. Campbell, he claimed, was try
ing to defraud him.

Violent Scene in Cnpe House.

Cape Town, Aug. 3O.-There was a
violent scene in the Cape house of as
sembly to-day when Cecil Rhodes re-
peated his conviction that the Trans
vaal secret service fund was largely
used during the last Cape Colony cleo
tions for the expenses Of the Afrikander
candidates. He said that he hoped in
the forthcoming Transvaal settlement
the secret service payment would be
destroyed as otherwise many Cape fam
lies would feel uncomfortable. Several
ministerialists were afterwards reprov-
ed from the chair for fiercely retorting
against this statement. The govern
ment has refused to provide facilities
for women and children to leave Johan-
nesburg. There is great activity at the
Simons Town dock yard in drilling men
on shore and overhauling vessels.
