cident occurred. Engineer Rich was in
the cab of the local train. There were
many passengers on the train on their
way to New York. There had been a
freight accident early in the day near
the scene of the disaster. The first ac-
cident was responsible for the blocking
of one of the tracks. The local was cross
ing to get on the clear track, when the
express hit it at the railroad crossing.
The work of rescue was Immediately be-
gun. Railroad officials were notified
and special train was cent to the scene.

split in two, the rear cars piling up on
those ahead. Scores of passengers were

iron and wood work. Fire from the To-
comotive communicated to the cars
near by, and the horror of the incinera-
tion of those caught under the wreck
was threatened.
The forward car was split open and
every soul in 1t was either killed OF
manned. Bodies were lying in every
direction. Two or three were piled on
top of each other in places. Limbs were

Alger was at the white house some time
this afternoon. He stated in the most
emphatic terms that no alarming news
had come from General Otis, and he did
not believe shot had been fired SO far,
or that one would be fired. He is conf
dent General Miller will be able to ham
die the situation successfully and obtain
possession of Iloilo without bloodshed.
He is of the opinion that the insurgents
have been 30 long imposed upon that
they are naturally suspicious, and fear
the worst if they surrender their strong
holds into the hands of the United
States.
The policy to be adopted now is gen.
tie one. Persuasion will be used before
powder. The president, it is said, also
views the situation in a similar light.

have gone, except that when he has es-

surgent officials and the people, he is to
make public the purpose of the United

CURRENT NEWS AND NOTES OF
THE GAMS.
The Circuit Fixers Still Harping on
Their Favorite subject-IdIe Talk of
League Circuit Reduction Still In
duIged In-Chicago's Sunday Record.
VIII BE No Change.

Some Louisville sensationalist re-
Gently revived the story that the Cleve-
land and Washington clubs would be
dropped by the league and the circuit
cut down to ten clubs. The story had
no other foundation than the idle gos-
sip of players, induced by the recent
postponement of some Cleveland
games owing to the death of Mr.. Robi-
sons daughter, and the further dispo-
sal OF players by the Washington club.
The magnates at large take no stock
whatever in reports of circuit reduction
and they ought to know what Is going
on if anybody does. Messrs. Hart and
Brush, in fact, have taken the pains to
again emphatically deny rumors that
really need no contradiction. Mr.. Brush
said pointedly: "The Cleveland and
Washington clubs are in the league
partnership until the end of the sea-
son of 1901, and to the best Of my
knowledge they will remain until that
time. 1t is certain that both teams
will play out the season" If that is
not enough for the doubling Thorn
ases'' we may add that everybody con-
nected with the Cleveland club is en-
phatic in the declaration that that club
will play out the season no matter
how much it may lose; while the
observation-disclosures people make the
same assertion anent the Baltimore
club. AS for Washington, the owners
of that club must hang on, willy nilly,
pending the coming reorganization, or
lose all as they are not likely to fnd
a purchaser for the club in view OF the
uncertainty regarding the fate of the
twelve-club league itself, to say moth
ing of the future status in base ball OF
the city of Washington.

A Broken Record.

Chicago is surely the banner Sunday
town of the world. think Of nearly
$4,000 persons witnessing a game OF
no extraordinary Importance Sun
day game between Chicago and Cincin-
natl This bona fide attendance breaks
the record. In addition to the turn
stiIe admission of 27,4S9, about 1000
people were turned away, as there was
no possible room for them, besides the
tickets ran out, no such crush having
been anticipated.
So great was the crush at the gates
that men were swept away by the
pressure Of the crowd behind them
from the ticket windows after they had
handed in their money but before they
could grab their tickets of admission.
Hundreds of men and boys mounted
the fence and formed a complete black
fringe around the grounds. In view of
the unprecedented attendance one can
not help wondering what would hap
pen should the Chicago team happen
to be first or second in a neck and
neck race at the finish and the con-
Guiding series with the nearest club be
played at home? Think also of the
money thrown away before the Hart
regime by the Chicago clubs persist
ent refusal for sixteen years to play

Boston View
From Boston Globe: This year it's
the champion Bostons against the
field, with the chances about even.
Brooklyn, ST. Louis and Chicago will
work with a hope of seeing Boston go
against hard luck. for in its present
condition not club in the league has
an honest chance of beating Boston.
The three teams above mentioned, as
well as Cincinnati, will turn tricks"
that Boston will refuse to consider.
Inside base ball will find willing
students among the clubs of Brooklyn,
ST. Louis and Cincinnati and in Han
Ion, Ewing and Tebeau the three above
clubs will have managers who will
plan campaigns that Manager Selee
would refuse to allow his Boston team
to pass through. The Boston cham
pions this season have no ideal to fol-
low. By all odds they constitute the
finest all-round team ever organized.
With perfect harmony and a string OF
players as easy to handle as college
team, nothing but clean, straightway
ball need be looked for.

Shrubs for Home Grounds.

From Farmers Review: Plant
few small shrubs near the house, SO
that the foundations of the house Will
be screened and the house seem 10
rise out of it's surroundings. Inc
choice Of shrubs depends somewhat Oh
the soil and location. There are
great many shrubs that are very ap-
propriate for planting on the grounds
but only a few will be named here.
Common Lilac.-Syringa Vulgaris-
This is one of the commonest and
most highly praised of garden shrubs
and one that has given rise, either by
natural variation or by crossing with
other species, to a great NUMBER OF
superior forms. The colors range from
white to various forms Of lilac.
Syringa Persica. This is distinct
small growing species, with slender
straight branches and lilac or white
flowers produced in small clusters. Inc
form bearing white flowers Is named
Syringa persica alba; and there is one
with neatly divided foliage, Syr1nga
persica lanciniata.
Philadelphus This is a genus OF
shrubs which are remarkable for the
abundance of white and usually sweet
scented flowers they produce. They
will thrive On almost any good soil,
and require no special treatment
Philadelphus coronarius, Ph1ladel-
plus tomentosa, Philadelphus gordon
Janus are all large growing bushes ana
give a succession of bloom.
Honeysuckles, or Lonicera, are all OF
the readiest culture, and succeed well
even in poor soils. There are large
number of species, some vining and
some Of a sturdy bushy habit. Lon1-
cera fragrantissima blooms very early
and is very fragrant 1t retains It's
leaves nearly all winter. Lonicera tar
tarica produces white and pink flow
ers in the spring, and later during
the summer yellow and red berries are
formed, which are as attractive as the
blooms.
Berberis Vulgarfs also produces at
tractive flowers in the spring ana
scarlet fruit in the fall.
Spireas are excellent shrubs and
make very good low screens, and also
give a beautiful display of flowers.
Spirea Thunbergii, Spirea Van Hout-
tel and Spirea reversiana give sue
cession of blooms.
Deutzia gracilis and DeutZia crenata
foraplena are very compact shrubs,
with close spikes of very attractive
flowers.
