A despatch from Indianapolis, Ind,
dated July S5th is as follows: By
unanimous vote of the national COM
mittee of the national (goId standard
democrats this afternoon the scheme
of fusion with the anti-imperialistic
movement, originating with the re-
cent mass meeting at the Plaza hotel
in New York City, was defeated, as
was also the plan to place gold
standard democratic ticket in the
field this year. The hour of p. N.
had been appointed for the conference
with the Plaza hotel committee and
at that time the latter committee
made its appearance and sub com
mittee presented an address setting
out the proposition for fusion and
third party ticket, with the reasons
set forth at the New York meeting.
W. B Haldeman, proprietor of the
Louisville Courier Journal and mem
ber of the national executive com
mittee, declared his intention of sup
porting Bryan and Stevenson and
withdrew from the meeting.
When the vote on the question of
fusion and the nomination of third
ticket was taken Gordon Woodbury.
of New Hampshire proved to be the
only committeeman present who
favored a third party ticket. The
vote was by ballot and stood 26 to 1
against the proposition. Mr.. Wood
bury at once moved that the vote be
made unanimous, and this was done.

New Orleans Ia, Sept. lS-The States
this morning received a telegram from
John H. Poe. member of the state Board
of Education. and residing at Lake charles,
stating that eighty-five lives were lost on
the Gulf and Interstate train which LETT
Beaumont early Saturday morning from
Bolivar Point. after having made connec-
tions with the Southern Pacific train which
left this city Friday Night.
Mr Poe was one OF the passengers on this
train and fortunately, together with a few
others he sought safety I'm the lighthouse
at Bolivar Point and was saved The train
reached Bolivar about noon. and all prep
arations were made to run the train on the
ferryboat preparatory to crossing the bay.
The wind blew SO swiftly. however. that
the ferry could not make a landing. and the
conductor of the train, after allowing 1T 10
stand on the tracks for a few minutes.
started TO back 1t toward Beaumont.
IN 4 LIGHTHOUSE
FIFTY HOURS WITHOUT FOOD.
The wind increased so rapidly. coming In
from the open sea, that soon the water
had reached a level with the bottom of the
seats within the cars. 1t was then that
some of the passengers sought safety in
the nearby lighthouse. But Mr.. Poe states
In his telegram that in spite of all efforts
eighty-five passengers were blown away or
drowned. The train was entirely wrecked.
Doubtless some OF the killed were from
New Orleans. as the train made direct con-
raections with the Southern Pacific train
which left here Friday night. and there
were a large number of New Orleans pas
sengers aboard. II is known that at least
some of these were bound for Galveston.
Those who were saved had TO spend over
fifty hours in the lighthouse on almost no
rations.
