TRAIN WRECKED BY STORM.
Eighty-People Perished at Bolivar Point. a
Dreary Night in the Lighthouse

New Orleans, La, Sept. 13.-The States
today received telegram from Hon. John
Poe, a member of the State Board of Ed
ucation and residing at Lake Charles,
stating that IS lives were lost on the Gulf
and Interest train which left Beaumont
early Saturday morning for Bolivar Point,
after having made connections with the
Southern Pacific train which left this city
Friday night. Mr.. Poe was one of the
passengers on this train. and together
with few others he sought safety in the
lighthouse at Bolivar Point and was saw
ed. The train reached Bolivar about noon.
and all preparations were made to run
the train on the ferryboat preparatory to
crossing the bay. but the wind blew so
swiftly that the ferry boat could not make
a landing. and the conductor of the train
after allowing it to stand on the tracks for
few minutes started back toward Beau
mont. The wind increased so rapidly, COM
ing in from the open sea, that soon the
water had reached a level with the bot
tom of the seats within the cars. 1t was
than that some of the passengers sought
safety in the nearby lighthouse. Mr.. Poe
states in his telegram that in spite of all
efforts eighty-ive passengers were blown
away or drowned. The train was entire
ly wrecked. Doubtless some of the killed
were from New Orleans. as the train
made direct connections with the South
ern Pacific train which left here Friday
night, and there were large number of
New Orleans passengers aboard and it IS
known that at least some of these were
bound Cor Galveston.
Those who were saved had to spend
over fifty hours in the dismal lighthouse
on almost no rations.

PRES. MITCHELL's STATEMENT.
The Miners Side of the Contention is Given to
the Public.
(Bv the Associated Press.

(By the Associated PresS.)
Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 13.-In order
to place before the public the conditions
existing in the Anthracite fields OF Penn
sylvania, President John Mitchell and
Secretary Treasurer w. B. Wilson, of
the United Mine Workers of America is
sued a statement to the public today, CIV
ing in detail the causes that have led up
to the strike.
After the statement had been given out
for publication, President Mitchell said:
Il have been receiving messag IS Ill day
from the anthracite region which indi-
cate clearly that the endorsement of the
strike and the issuance of the order
have met with the approval of the min
ers. There are few details to be ar
ranged. but the men are prepared for
the fight l have not received today any
information direct or indirect to show
that the operators have receded from
their position"
The statement says:
'The average wages of the anthracite
miner for many years has been less than
$3.50 annually. During that period of
time the cost of many of the necessaries
Of life has been increased over twenty
per cent
'"The laws of the State of Pennsyl-
vania make 2,4OO pounds a ton of an
thracte coal, yet anthracite coal miners
are compelled to mine from 2, 700 to 1000
pounds for a ton and in addition to that
are locked eXorbitant amounts, often
reaching twelve per cent. of their daily
earnings, for any impurities which may
be sent out with their coal. They are
compelled to purchase the powder used
in mining from their employers, paying
$2.75 per keg for a grade of powder that
can be purchased elsewhere for $3.50 per
key and which WHOLESALERS for about $1.00
per keg. They are required by many
of the companies to deal in, 'pluck-me-
stores or leave their employment. They
rust pay to the company 81 per month
for a doctor whether they need him or
not and have no voice in saying who the
doctor shall be. When any miner, feel
ing the burden of these conditions has
gone to the management and asked to
have them removed, he has been told if
he does not like it he can quit.
when the business men, clergymen
and other outside influences have appeal
ed to the coal companies to correct
some of the evils complained of, their
requests have been denied. and when,
as a last resort, the officers of the or
ganization have wired the presidents of
the great railroad companies who control
the anthracite coal fields, Offering to
submit the whole question to arbitration
TIE proposition has been treated with ST.
lent contempt. We invite a thorough,
impartial and public investigation of the
conditions existing in the anthracite coal
fields"

THE SEA GIVES BACK IT'S DEAD.
Corpses Thrown into the Deep Float Back to
Galveston.

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 13.-The cry still
comes from Galveston for disinfectants.
1t is the one hope of saving what is left
of the population. kilograms are pour
ing into Dallas and every other Texas
city asking for lime, carbolic acid, and
anything else that will operate to purify
the sitting conditions The supply of
disinfectants here is almost exhausted. If
the outside world can hasten relief of this
kind it will be an act of charity of the
first magnitude. A new horror is con-
fronting Galveston-that is, a second dis
position of many of the dead Bodies
thrown into the sea are floating back to
the city. They must now be disposed of
by burning. Disinfectants become more
needful as a consequence of this new
feature in the situation. The State troops
that have been on duty at Galveston
are breaking down from their exertions
and the unsanitary conditions Adiu-
tant General Scurry today called out the
Dallas rough riders of the First Texas
cavalry to relieve the exhausted light
guards. The rough riders under COM
nand of Captain Paget will at once start
for Galveston.
Relief work for Galveston is down now
to systematic basis. Dallas is the prin-
cipal point Of concentration and distribu-
ton for more than one half of the State
and much of the country outside of Texas.
BY actual count 306 communities have re-
mitted their contributions of money
clothing, foods, drugs, etc., to Dallas.
Counting what has been received by Gov
ernor Savers and the relief committees at
Galveston and Houston. approximately
$500 900 worth of relief has been obtained
and the stream is increasing in volume

A MONUMENT TO LAYTON.
VIM. jennings Bryan Was the Orator OF the
Occasion

Fort Wayne, Ind, Sept 1S.--The people
of this city today dedicated to the memo
" of General Henry w. Lawton, a monu
hent crowned by a cannon captured 5y
On and christened the principal city
ark in honor of the dead hero. The cere-
Fmony occurred under the auspices of the
Union Veteran legion and Colonel WI
liam Jennings Bryan was the principal
orator OF the occasion His address was
nom bipartisan.
Mr. Bryan paid high tribute to the
character of the volunteer soldier. He
said that there were victories of peace
as well as of war and that he longed for
"the time to come when no hostile arm
will be raised against a fellow man" In
d this connection he quoted Lincoin's Har-
risburg speech while on his way to the in
auguration before the beginning of the
Civil War.
Mr.. Bryan declared that there could be
no greater mistake than to assume that
Z the people of any political party are un-
patriotic and recalled the partisan rancor
of the campaign of 1896. He also argued
that the Spanish war had had the effect
OF destroying the prejudice which natur
ally grew out of the Civil War.
