DUE TO BROKEN RAIL
A Serious Accident on the Lake
Shore Road Near Sandusky.

Sandusky, O., Aug. 1s.--Lake Shore
train No. 3, westbound, was wrecked at
Bay bridge, near Sandusky, at one
o'clock in the morning. The train left
Cleveland at 1855 p. M, and struck a
broken rail near Bay bridge, five miles
west of Sandusky. The engine and two
mail cars passed over the bridge safely.
The next three cars, consisting of two
mail cars and combination car, went
overthe bridge into Sandusky bay, in 20
feet of water. The rest Of the train left
the track, but did not go over the
bridge, and, beyond severe shaking up
and bad scare, no one was injured in
these cars.
The three cars piled up in mass in
the water below, imprisoning the
mail clerks and the passengers in the
combination baggage and passenger
coach.
Not life was lost, passengers and
employees climbing through windows
and doors, and being rescued from the
water with slight injuries. The cars
are 60 feet long and two of them stood
partially on end in 20 feet of water.
Seven trainmen were injured. They
are:
Charles Woggon, Toledo, five ribs broken
and severe internal injuries; will die.
Joseph Grosweiler, Toledo, badly cut
about head and shoulders.
Baggageman William Frawley, of Cleve-
land, internally.
Chief Clerk ]. c. Beck, of Goshen.
Al Spalding, of Adrian.
+. r. Greening, Of Austin, near Chicago.
B. s. Wise. of Chestertown.
Woggon was sitting near the door.
Suddenly he felt the crash, and, jump
ing up, started for the door. The car
lurched to one side and as he stepped
out upon the platform he found the car
going down the embankment. He made
for the upper side of the platform, but
the trucks were in the water before
Woggon realized what had happened,
and he slipped into the water up to his
neck. He quickly gained footing on
the side of the platform and made a
jump for pile of rocks few feet away,
but missed, sustaining terrible fall.
At the time of the wreck the train
was running IS miles an hour. Train
men rescued the IA imprisoned passen-
gers in the combination coach. The
mail clerks in the submerged car were
assisted by the employees of the Port
land cement works, located near the
bridge. The bridge on which the
wreck occurred is half a mile long,
and but six feet above the water,
which is from IA to 20 feet deep. A
large amount of mail is still in the wa
ter.

HUNTING AGUINALDO.
Official Reports of Search Are Made
Public.

Washington, April 3.-The war de-
partment has made public a number of
reports of the movements of the small
expeditions which started from Ban
gued January p last on a scout through
the mountains of Luzon in search of
Aguinaldo. Colonel Hare, of the
TWCnty-third infantry, had heard that
an insurgent general was in the neigh
bcrnood and believed that it might be
A5uInaldo. So he started on the trail
With Captain Ashburn, of the first bat
talon of his regiment, and forty men,
ana was out five days, going as far as
BacoOr. This little expedition was
characterized by many acts of daring
and gallantry which form the subject
of the reports. At one point near Don
inlay the insurgents had prepared an
ambush. The soldiers knew of it and
deployed, attacking the insurgents from
the front and both TANKS, killed one
Lieutenant and nine men and captured
five prisoners and lot of ammunition
One man wounded was in the American
casualty list. The wounded man, Ser
geant Major Robert E. Wilson, is rec
commended for a medal of honor as were
alsO First Lieutenant letters and these
enlisted men: John G. SammOns and
Frank Miller, company B; f. A. Muir
pnN, company D; j A SyZmore, COM

recommended for Hospital Steward A
NJ. Coffey.
Colonel Hare pays special tribute to
I the bravery of Sergeant Major Wilson,
! Characterizing his act as one that ''sim-

fire from the insurgents at distance

man with his revolver" That is wheT
he was shot in the hip"
Then Lieutenant letters charged VI

insurance committee is added This
v II take the work Of looking after the
insurance on bulldogs out of the hands
OF the building and grounds committee,
which has been one of the most inn
portant committees. 1t has been COM
posed of three members.
the new rules provide that the COM
rnIttee shall be composed of a member
from each ward, which will lessen the
b,lTs zen to the three members and also
have all parts of the city represented
OF the committee. The committee on
teachers and salaries, which selects the
teachers and fixes many of the salaries,
viii be enlarged from three members
to five.
It has been charged that outside in
fluence has had something to GO with
creasing of the number of members on
the board will probably quiet this
rumor.
Mr.. Griggs then offered a new rule
that members of the board should not
sell any supplies for use in the city
schools. Mr. Priddy offered an amend
nent which was to prohibit any mem
Der Of the board from having any bust
ness relations with any person con-
nccted with the city schools. Mr.
the motion or the amendment on the
ground that as it changed the rules
notice of one month must be given be-
fore its consideration. Mr.. Priddy said
considerations had biased the actions
OF members of the board, and he be-
li+veo that temptation should be re-
rnoved Such a rule would bar Mr..
BGnebrake Mr.. Macferran and Mr..
Henderson from carrying any Of the
srnool moneys in their banks. 1t would
stop Mr. Priddy, Mr.. Wilson, and Mr..
Grisgs from selling any supplies to the
board, and among the new members to
take their places soon it would stop
Mr. Rodgers from furnishing any in
sErance and Mr.. Embree from selling
any school supplies from the book store
ir which he is a partner. Consider
allie objection will probably be made
to the rule.
Mr. w NJ. Davidson was reelected
superintendent of schools for the COM

AFFRONTED CHAPPELLE.
Major G. C. Kirkman Dismissed From
Uncle Sans Service.

Washington, April 3.-Secretary Root
stated today that Major George c.
F<irkman, Forty-ninth volunteer infant
~. is no longer in the service of the
United States. Under the articles of
war the approval of Gen. Otis of the
action of the court martial which rec
commended Kirlxman for dismissal on
the charge of drunkenness was suffi-
Gent to execute that sentence. In 9TH
er words the approval of the president
is unnecessary.
klrkman was accused of being drunk
on the transport Liverpool, on the vOy-
age from San Francisco to Manila.
Private advices also charged him with
affronting Archbishop Chappelle, who
was one of the passengers. The con-
structlOn given by the war department
TO Gen. Otis action in this case commits
the department, it is believed, to a for
mai recognition of the existence of war
in the Philippines. Article 106 of the
articles of war expressly provides that
the sentence of dismissal, in the case of
an ofncer, shall not be carried out lin
time of peace" except on the approval
OF the president of the United states.

CITY COUNCIL JOTTINGS.
Things Discussed and Disposed of at
Last Nights Meeting.

The city has a proposition to sell
some lots which it never owned, the
property which Canon Bywater pro-
posed to trade to the city for lots which
the city owns in the Second ward, on
which the Episcopal church wishes to
erect a mission building.
The council voted to make the trade
but it has since been discovered that
the lots owned by the church are outside
the city limits and the city can not
legally own land outside the city except
for park or sewer purposes.
Mrs. J. L. Crook wishes to buy the
episcopal lots and supposing the trade
mad been cOnsummated she made a
proposition to buy them from the city.
The ordinance issuing bonds for paw
ing teh narrow strip in the center of To-
peka avenue where the old street ear
track was taken up between Tenth ave
nue. and Fourteenth street, was passed
last evening. The issue amounts to
s5,soy 50. There are ten bonds, one for
$S6gSS, and the other nine for S4OO each,
and they viii be payable one each year
commencing next January. They bear
AZ per cent interest
The city council has passed a resolu-
tion instructtng the street commissioner
10 open all the streets and alleys leading
to the river, as shown on the plat of the
city, in North Topeka. and to remove
all distractions in them.
Ihe resolution was introduced by Coun-
Gilman Blossom, who EXPLAINED that
private parties had placed fences along
the edge of the river blocking the roads
leading out on to the sand bars. and
are charging toll to people who desired
TO get sand from the bars.
Street Commissioner SNYDER explain-
ed that one of the parties had been ar
rested for obstructing a street and his
case IS now pending in the police court.
A number of petitions for new side
walks We're presented to the council last
night The locations at which walks
are desired are as follows:
On the west side of Norris from Sixth
avenue to a point south of Ninth street
On the north side of Sayweu street
from Quincy to Jefferson.
on the west side of Jefferson from
Saywell to Paramore
On the south side of Park from TTar-
rison street west.
On the west side OF Liberty from
Sixth avenue south.

"A. B. Whiting Paint and Glass com
pany, filed a protest with the council
last evening against locating the street
fair between Sixth avenue and Fourth
street on Quincy street. They claimed
that it would injure their business.
This claim is rather amusing in view
of the fact that merchants in other nor
tons Of the city have been anxious to
bring the street fair to their locality
It was located north Of Sixth so that
Il would not interfere with street eaI
traffic and on account Of the drainage
It would probably have been placed be

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

The largest audience which has greet
ed repertoire company in Topeka since
the days of the Spooners saw the open
ing performance of the Myrkle-H Harder
company at the Crawford theater last
night The entire seating space of the
house was occupied, and much standing
room was sold on the first floor.
1.-THE Hoosier Heroine was the bill
of the evening, and the piece proved to
contain opportunities for each member
of the company. The performers ex-
perienced no difficulty in getting in
touch with the big audience, and the
applause was generous during each of
the four acts. Miss Emma Myrkle, Mr.
Will Harder, Miss Bessie A Field and
MI. James r. Field found particular
favor in their respective parts.
Between the acts entertaining special
ties were introduced by Mr.. Field, Miss
MyHlxle, Mr. Harder and Mr.. Phil Riser
Before the closing act views of the
Windsor Hotel fire in New York were
shown by means of a late invention
known as the 'projectOscope." followed
by a number of moving pictures.
Before the conclusion of the perform
ance Mr. Wilbur WTede made a partic-
ularly happy announcement speech. He
said the company endeavored simply to
put on performances commensurate
with the price of admission, TO- 20 and
80 cents. The majority of popular price
companies make such remarkable claims
that theater-goers fail to put faith in
them.
Tonight the company will put on 1.-THE
Heart of Georgia" and the advance sale
indicates another large audience. The
bill of the Wednesday matinee will be
Lady Kerston's Secret and roses and
carnations will be distributed.

TO FIGHT PLAGUE.
Secretary Gage Wants 100000 I'm
mediately.

New York, April "A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
secretary of the treasury has sent an
urgent request to congress to make
$500. 900 Immediately available to enable
the Marine hospital service to fight the
plague and other diseases that may ap-
pear at any moment. In the annual esti-
mates. submitted last December, $780,
600 was asked for this purpose, but it
is already seen that this amount will be
insufficient, and that a large fund ought
to be ready for the emergency without
delay Surgeon General Wyman in his
requisition on the secretary for the
money, reports that on account of the
continued and increasing danger from
plague it has become necessary to de-
tain medical officers of that service for
duty in the offices of the United States
consuls at the various posts of Europe
from which emigrants depart and to
prevent the Introduction of yellow fever
from the fruit ports of Central and
South America.
Medical officers have been detailed to
serve in the consular offices to enforce
the quarantine regulations to be OBJ
served at foreign ports Medical officers
are also detached to the American con-
sulates in Yokohama, Kobe and Hong
Kong. and it is among the probabilities
that 1t will become necessary to extend
the inspection service to some other
ports. DR.. Wyman further says that
the plague has recently been reported at
san Francisco, and that the early re-
crudescence of yellow fever in Florida
and other southern states is seriously
unprecedented. This state of affairs has
rendered necessary the expenditure OF
greater sums from appropriation &c
fight epidemics than We're contemplated
when the estimates We're submitted and
it is believed that 100000 may prove in
sufficient to meet all the emergencies
likely to arise in the coming fiscal year
