RUN INTO AN OPEN SWITCH.

Wrecked Near Philadelphia.

Train With $4,000, 900 on Board
Wrecked Near Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, July 11.-According
to officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad deliberate attempt to wreck
the Washington express bearing So, 000,-
600 to the subtreasury in New York
came near being successful at Folsom, a
short distance outside of this city. The
train consisted of two sleepers, two day
coaches and three baggage cars and left
Washington at 11:30 o'clock last night.
1t was due here at $40 o'clock this
morning.
While going at good rate of speed,
it ran into an open switch at Folsom.
The engine was overturned and three
baggage cars were derailed, but no one
was injured.
An examination of the switch by the
railroad men disclosed the fact that the
switch had been tempered with, for the
apparent purpose of wrecking the train.
Whether it was done with the intention
of wrecking the express bearing the cur
rency could only be conjectured. The
railroad officials have placed detectives
on the case and have offered reward
of $500 for the arrest and conviction of
those tampering with the switch.

SECOND SESSION OF
NATIONS EDUCATORS
Disappointment Over Small
Attendance at Charleston.
THE THEME OF DISCUSSION

"Contributions of Religious Organiza-
lions to the Cause of Education"
Was the General Topic-Detroit the
Favorite For the Next Convention.
CHARLESTON, July 11.-"The Contri-
buttons of Religious Organizations to the
Cause of Education" was the general
topic at the morning session of the Ma.
tional Educational association. Arrivals
last night and this morning have in
creased the attendance to nearly 5000.
President Corson presided. He an
nounced that, owing to the serious ILL
ness of his wife, Rev. Fl. M. Dubose,
general secretary of the Epworth league,
who was to speak for the Methodist
church, had been compelled to return to
Nashville.
President Oscar III. Cooper of Baylor
university, Waco, Tex, spoke interest
ingly of the part taken by the Baptist
church in the cause Of general education,
and DR.. Condo B. Fallen of st. Louis
told of the work of the Catholic church
and it's constant campaigns of education
in all countries
At the close of the morning session,
the president announced the nominal
ing committee, composed of one MEM
Der from each state represented. This
body will meet and nominate ticket
for the coming year, which will be an
nounced the last day Of the convention.
The contest for the next convention
city shows Detroit slightly in the lead.
The Michigan delegates claim to have
the support of all the northern and east
ern states. Cincinnati's campaign has
not been permitted to lag.
/ Considerable disappointment is ex-
pressed over the small attendance here.
Preparations were made for the recep-
ton and entertainment Of many thous-
ands, but thus far, they have not ap-
peared. Some of the delegates claim
the convention city is too far south to
be reached by the travellers of the far
north and west, while nearly all OF those
states sent enormous delegations to Los
Angeles one year ago. 1t is believed
the California convention will hold the
attendance record for years to come and
as financial venture it was a success,
the association realizing nearly I$S, GOO.
The educators, it is said, will lose ~, 600
on the Charleston gathering, principally
on account of the small attendance.
There were no sessions of the depart
mental organizations until late this az
ternOOn.

WHITE HAS NO OPPOSITION.
Bitter Contest Over Place on the Re-
publican State Ticket.

CHARLESTON. w. Va, July 1.-The
Republican state convention here Is the
most largely attended Of any in the his
tory of the party in this state. Bssides
the nomination of state ticket, III is
made the occasion for the opening Of the
presidential campaign and the canvass
of Hon. Stephen B. Elkins as senator.
While the Republicans carried the
state four years ago, the plurality was
close and the margin in the legislature
was so slight as to be in dispute. Every.
thing is at stake between the parties this
year, including the presidential vote,
full state ticket and control of the legis-
lature which elects United States sep
ator, but the chief contention here this
week is over the state offices.
While there is no opposition to Elkins
for senator or A. B. White for governor
the contests for other places on the state
ticket are in marked contrast TO. these
two cases. There are many candidates
for each place. The contests for minor
places have become bitter.

NEwBURGH, N. Y, July 11.-Chair-

mittee said concerning the alleged plot
to assassinate President Mckinley:
'Ihave read the account in New York
paper with reference to an alleged plot
to assassinate the president and also as
to the part which l am supposed to have
taken in the matter l have nothing to
say upon the subject except that have
made an investigation which I started
with the state committee detective on
the line of what supposed to be politi-
cal information and I discovered either
a crank or lYlron Munchausen, and on
the principle that an ounce of proven
ton is worth pound of cure, it is prob
able that my report to Secretary Dick is
the cause for the extra care now being
taken of the president. I have nothing
further to say on this subject except that
I regret that some one has been indis-
Greet enough to make of a trihing matter
the gigantic plot published in the papers.

WILLIAM WALDORF AsToR
His Social Career In London Brought
to an ABRUPT Close.

LONDON, July William Waldorf
Astor's sudden departure for Germany
at the very height of the season, the cam
ceiling of all his engagements here and
the recall of the invitations which he
had issued for house parties on next
Sunday and ON next Sunday week, at
Cliveden, are regarded as signalling
the closing of his social career in Lon
don.
1t is openly declared here that the
Prince of Wales, who is the supreme
arbiter of English society, has cut him
in consequence of his insulting treat
ment of Sir Archibald Milne last week
and London is only too ready to take its
cue in the matter from it's future king,
as Mr.. Aston, in spite of his wealth and
the magnifcence of his entertainments,
has made many enemies by his numer-
Gus idiosyncrasies and by his extraordin-
aIV arrogance.
