AWFUL WRECK KREPORTED.
The Report, However, is Unconfirmed
and Discredited.

! Cincinnati, o. Nov. ga special to
the Commercial Tribune from Charles
ton, W. Va, says:
1T is reported here that a Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad train went
through the Green Brier river bridge,
which had been damaged by the recent
floods. 1t is supposed that there were
but two hundred people on the train
and that all were lost. All wires are
down at and near the crossing of this
river, and it Is impossible to get any
sort of confirmation of the disaster
Even the railway officials are unable to
secure communication with points on
either side of the river.
Cincinnati, o., Nov. 26,-There has
been great apprehension tonight over
report that Chesapeake and Ohio
passenger train had gone through the
Green Brier river bridge near Hinton,
w. Va. All through wires on that line
are down and it is impossible to reach
Green Brier river or any points near it,
Many messages have been sent by those
who have had friends on that road to-
day. as it was not known what train
went through the bridge, but no re-
sponse to any messages have been re-
ceived and they are accepted only sub
ject to delay. Charles B. Ryan, assist
ant general passenger agent of the
Chesapeake and Ohio road is here to-
night and he discredits the story en-
tirely He said there was a very bad
landslide near Green Brier river not
far from White Sulphur Springs and it
has compelled them to transfer passen-
gers during the day.
Parkersburg, w Va, Nov. 26.-The
passenger train reported wrecked on the
Chesapeake and Ohio is said to have
been west-bound, consisting of seven
passenger coaches, baggage, express
and mail cars. 1t is said that among
the passengers We're Ex-Governor Nc
Corkle, State Auditor-elect Sheril and
State Senator Alexander M Miller.
Washington, Nov. 26.-The Post has
received a message from the railroad
telegraph operator 9t Hinton eayir"
there is no foundation for the story of
a wreck on the Chesapeake and Ohio
near that place.
Richmond, Va, Nov 26.-The Chesa-
peake and Ohio officials here positively
deny the story of a passenger train
wreck at Green Brier river bridge and
all stories of any loss of life on the
line.
The Dispat tch had a special after mid
night from Ronceverte, which Is within
a few miles of the very point at which
the Chesapeake and Ohio crosses the
Green Brier. The special reports a
freight wreck, with no los of life, at AL
legheny and mentions delay of passen-
ger trains in such a way as to discredit
entirely the passenger wreck report.

Il COMPLETE WRECK.
A 81. John Schooner Washed Ashore
No signs of Crew Found.

Portsmouth, N. H., Nov. 26.-The bat
tered hulk of what was the st. John
schooner Advance was washed ashore
on Wallis Sands this afternoon with no
signs Of life aboard. Whether her crew
of four or five men have been taken off
| by a passing vessel or have gone to a
watery grave can only be conjectured.
I There is chance that they may have
reached the Isle of Shoals eight miles to
the eastward off shore, as the schooner
in her drift went very near that IA
nous island cluster.
The schooner is a complete wreck.
She was sighted at dawn and the Wal
lis Sands life savers waited over six
hours for her to strike the beach, and
when she did the sea was 50 heavy that
the surf boat could not be launched.
Just before dark they managed to board
her in their surf boat but there was
little to reward them for their efforts,
for the schooner was beyond all hope
of saving, The Advance sailed from
St. John, N. b.. early in the month,
bound for Boston with a cargo of ale
wives and shingles. She was last re-
ported at Southwest Harbor, Mount
Desert, asst week. She was ninety nine
tons burden.

$40, 900 AWARDED AMERICAN
Reported Decision of British Umpire I'm
Dispute with Guatemala.


Washington, Nov. 26.-It is unofficial
ly but reliably reported to the depart
ment of state that Mr.. Jenner, the
British umpire in the arbitration of the
case of Robert FL. May, an American
citizen, against the government OF
Guatemala has rendered a judgment in
favor of the claimant to the amount of
$140,000, American gold
May entered into a contract with the
Guatenalan government to operate
and improve a railway for which he
was to receive monthly subvention of
$50, 900, keep the revenues Of the road
and be paid for certain extra work. He
began his work in April 1898, but in
October of the same year was dispos-
sessed by military force. The subven-
tions due at that time had been only
partially paid, and Mays claim was for
the payment of those subventions for
money expended in extra work, and
compensation for his general losses.
The basic claim was for $127 900, and
there was to be an allowance for profits
over and above this sum.

oPERArIoNS IN YovEMBEB conn.
Young Phillips Corner-His Interest
Ing Mnnoeuvcrs Yesterday.

| Chicago, Nov. 26.--November corn
touched so cents to-day It made an
advance of cents for the day. of 10
cents a bushel for the week and of al
most Is cents within four weeks Young
Mr. Phillips sold what corn changed
hands at that point; shorts did the buy
ing that advanced the market to the
so cent quotation. The man with a
corner in the hollow of his hand is ap-
parently not ready to let it get away
from him. All the morning the little
corn king stood on the edge of the pit
and watched the ebb and flow of the
battle. Whenever the clamorous
short hoWled the price UP in the face
of unresponsive takers, he pushed to
the front of the line to let out more
corn.
Some of the dealers thought the juv-
enile-looking speculator was in straits
and was running to wind UP his string.
They jumped on the market and tried
10 sell corn at AZ 1-2. Phillips turned
instantly from seller to buyer, from
bear to bull, and snapped up every man
who was offering to shade the price
that he was making. The decline
stopped at once The closing price was
40 cents, a reaction due to Phillips
buying
1t was significant to some traders
that the firms who are reputed to be
at the mercy of Phillips have not given
any sign of extreme worry There is
still some talk Of special trains coming
from the country with corn enough to
make good the obligations to Phillips.
To the outside there is no sign of this
predicted movement.
Phillips conduct to-day won him
great praise Few men have been able
to keep a cool head under like circum-
stances. He parted with 100000 bush
els, about one-tenth of his holdings.
He bought 100000 when the bears tried
to drag him off his pedestal. He made
10000 Apparently he is going to keep
the settling price around so cents. If
the Shorts" are meditating a coupe
on the last day they may wake up to
find that Phillips has closed out his
line. He claims now that he cannot be
squeezed whatever may happen. AS
long as he keeps on selling more than
he buys and holds the market down to
be crowded off the market with his
corner Other spectators have been
broken by buying at big price in or
der to hold up the market and playing
their funds on margins.

Game Commissioner Johnson's force
should not be equal to the Indians in
the White River district. Fear is eX-
pressed that Commissioner Johnson will
make the attack upon the Indians

Rifle, Col, Nov 26-Game Commits
sioner Johnson and his deputies pro-
ceeded to Meeker by stage to-day in an
effort to drive the Indians, who are now
slaughtering Colorado game, back to
their reservation.
Denver, Col, Nov. 26-The Uintahs
and Uncompahgre Utes are not making
the trouble this year. but the White
Rivers, who once occupied the territory
which they have now invaded. In the
past the Indian agents have kept the
White Rivers on the reservation be
cause of the bitter feeling of the tribe
towards the whites, who they claim,
took possession of lands belonging to
them without right or treaty.
1t is reported that even larger num-
Der of Indians than the five hundred
previously reported have left the reser-
walton and are slaughtering hundreds
of deer in the vicinity of Yama and

This afternoon Governor Thomas re-
ceived communication from Secretary
of the Interior Hitchcock at Washing
ton stating in substance that the de-
partment had sent it's Indian agent to
scour northwestern Colorado for mar
auding Indians but had failed to find
one. There was a hint in the communi-
cation that this would officially end the
correspondence so far as the govern
ment was concerned
Instead of pacifying the governor it
had tendency to make him more Wig
orous in his application of the state
law. He claims to have dozen reports
from as many different men on file prov
ing cOnclusively that the Indians have
over 500 deer In Routt and
Rio Blanca counties.

SHOOTING WAS JUSTIFIED.
Verdict In n South NorwaIk Case-A
jealous Lover.


South Norwalk, Nov. 26.--After trial
lasting several days Judge Henry w.
Gregory tonight rendered his decision
il the case OF Philip L. Wheeler, charg-
ed with shooting Stephen S. Gregory
with intent to kill on West avenue, this
city, September 28. Judge Gregory
discharged the defendant, holding that
he acted in self-defense and that as
Gregory had threatened to kill Wheeler
if he caught him in the society of Miss
Emily Engelhardt the young woman
with whom Gregory was keeping COM
pany, Wheeler's act was justifiable.
The evidence showed that on the night
in question Wheeler met Miss Engel
hardt and a Mrs. Scott in front of 81
Mary's Catholic church and they WEI
in conversation when Gregory can. .-s
along on wheel. The testimony was
that without warning he struck Wheel
er in the face, and that thereupon
Wheeler drew revolver and fired two
shots, one of which entered Gregorys
lip, coming out under the right ear,
while the other entered the back of the
neck and passed out under the right
arm. The announcement of the verdict
was received with a little demonstra-
tion of applause in the court room.
