Train Wreckers Mt Work,

Atlantic City, Aug. 20.-Two cars of
the Pennsylvania railroad train, which
left here at 10 o'clock last night for
Philadelphia, were derailed by enter
ing an open switch just as the train
was approaching the drawbridge at
the Thoroughfare. There were 800 per-
sons on the train, and as the derailed
cars bumped over the ties the passeng-
ers became panic stricken and many
jumped from the train into the mud
along the tracks. No one was killed or
injured. This is the same train that
was nearly wrecked on Friday night
by some one placing ties across the
tracks a short distance from the scene
of last nights mishap.

At noon it was as dark as night and
intensely hot. A few moments before
l o'clock the storm broke. increasing

signs hurled hundreds of feet. The
storm, which ragged for only ten min

The street car barns were wrecked
and cars were smashed to pieces. The
electric wires were all blown down.
The roof of the warehouse of the
Crocker Chair company was blown off
and thrown against the factory, wreck
ing the building The tent on horse

the Lutheran church was blown down
onto two residences, smashing in the
roofs. The fourth ward school house
was completely wrecked
The wind wrecked buildings with the
greatest rapidity, and there was little
warning of the approach of the storm.
The people in every case, however,
were out of their houses before the
storm struck and those who were hit
by flying debris were only slightly in
jured In the factories the employees
were in many cases bruised and cut
from wreckage

WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
General Lord Roberts Issues Rig
orous Measures.
GENERAL DE WET VERY ELUSIVE

Gen. Kitchener, After Having Chas-
ed Him For IA Thousand Miles, Has
Failed TO Overtake Him-Har-h
Mearures For Boer Sympathizers.
Pretoria, Aug. 20.-Gen. De Wet ap-
peared Saturday at North Commando
Mex. held by Gen. Baden-Powell, and
sent in flag of truce asking the sur
render of the British force. Gen. Bad
en-Powell replied, asking what terms
De Wet was prepared to offer. De Wet
is evidently moving eastward.
Great chagrin is expressed here over
the news that after chasing Gen. De
Wet 1000 miles Lord Kitchner failed
to overtake him.
The Saturday Review says the blu
ders in the pursuit of De Wet .!ere due
to sheer incompetence.
Lord Roberts, it says, is running the
risk of losing his laurels by his mex.
plicable failure to bring the war to an
end.
Gen. Lord Roberts is issuing new
severe and rigorous orders, resembling
the one previously issued.
Lord Roberts proclamation, after
reciting the fact that hany have broken
the oath to aintain neutrality and that
the leniency extended to the burghers
is not appreciated, warns all who
break their oaths in the future that
they will be punished by death, inn
prisonment or fine. He declares that
all burghers in the district occupied by
the ritish, except those who take the
oath, will be regarded as prisoners Of
war and transported, and that build
scouts are harbored will be liable to
be razed.
The case for the defense in the trial
of Lieut.. Cordua, of the Stats artil-
lery, charged with being concerned in
the plot to kidnap Lord Roberts, was
concluded Saturday. Lieut.. Cordua's
counsel admitted that the accused was
guilty of breaking his parole and of
attempting to plan a conspiracy, but
he asserted that the attempt was a
failure. Counsel also maintained that
Gano suggested the entire plot and
egged on the prisoner. On these
grounds he asked the court to find
that the charges had not been proved
and begged its mercy for his client
Gano, who is said to be of American
birth denied having suggested the
plot.

CONVICTION OF POWERS.
Kentucky's Ex-Socretary Of State
Sentenced to Life Imprisonment
CONDEMNED MANS STATEMENT.

CharacteriIes His Trial For Conn
plicity in the GoebeI Murder as n
Political One and One cf the Great
est Judicial Farces i'm History.
Georgetown, KY, Aug. 20.-Caleb
Powers, former secretary OF state, was
on Saturday found guilty of completely
in the shooting of Senator Goebel and
was sentenced to Imprisonment for lie.
There was a great crowd in ana
around the court house when the YER
dict was returned and sentence pro-
nounced. The jury was out only about
As minutes. Only one ballot was taken.
1t resulted unanimously in favor of life
Imprisonment. The jury was compos-
ed of eight Goebel Democrats, three
anti-Goebel Democrats and one Re-
publican.
Several of Powers friends crowded
around and expressed their sympathy
with him. Powers seemed daZed. For
a few moments he was at the point OF
fainting, but he recovered himself with
an effort.
he turned to go with Jailer Reid.
There was no sort of demonstration
following the verdict, and the vast
crowd filed out Of the court house al
most in silence. Powers remained in
the court room for some time after the
verdict was rendered, in conference
with his attorneys, who will at once
move for a new trial, and, failing in
that, will take an appeal.
Caleb Powers issued a statement to
the public las evening as follows: Il
am asked my opinion concerning my
trial and the verdict of the jury. Could
| have but one opinion? Can any fair
minded man or woman of this state
have but one? That one of the great
est judicial farces known to history
has been enacted here in my trial, un-
der the forms of law, no we'll informed
man can doubt. Innocence is no shield
with 500, 900 and the methods of Camp
bellism against you. The rectitude Of
ones past life counts for naught. They
say Taylor is guilty because he was at
his office and that | was guilty because
l was away from mine. This has been
political trial throughout for poll
tical purposes.
There are good men and noble wo-
men in theDemocratic party, and many
of them. They are not all bad, far from
it. A great many of them do not en-
dorse the theft of the state Offices A
great many more will not endorse this
mockery of trii |, this prostitution of
the courts of justice for certain ends.
From the beginning of the campaign
until now I have stood with what lit
tie of merit l have had, for the rights
and liberties of the people. That is my
crime. That is the only offense l have
committed That is the only thing
proven against me. | swore to that
myself in my testimony | have never
had and | now have no apology to
make for being true to the trust i'm
posed upon me by a majority Of the
voters of this state. History will draw
its dark lines around those who have
outraged me and disgraced the judici-
ary and blackened the history of the
state"

FINANCE AND TRADE.

Business Situation.

Dun's Mercantile Agency's Report on
Business Situation.
New York, Aug. 18.-R G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: Af-
ter a great wave of advancing prices,
optimism as to business is generally
dangerous But the top was reached
the middle Of March, since which time
reaction has come in every great in
dustry, so that consumers are asking
whether in some directions the decline
may not have been unreasonably large,
as was the advance, and whather buy
ing on the present basis OF prices is
not fairly sure. There are further evil
dences of weakness in raw materials,
notably the break in structural iron,
but each one Is availed of to place
heavy contracts. 1t is becoming more
apparent that the bottom has been
reached in prices of iron and steel. The
decline was severe and recovery must
be slow, but gradual advances and
moderately increasing activity are
more healthy than violent changes. In
no single division Is the improvement
more striking than in any other. Ex-
eept steel rails, all forms of iron, from
the ore to the finished product, are be-
ing sought more eagerly and with less
effort to secure further concessions in
price.
The first effect of the report of the
wheat condition, indicating total crop
of only 513, 1897 900 bushels, was to
strengthen prices, but when the secre-
tary of agriculture was reported as
predicting dollar wheat" before the
end of the year, the market showed an
inclination to disagree, and the Sep
tember option fell below so cents at
New York for the first time In two
months.
Failures for the week were 161 in
the United States, against 156 last year,
and "a in Canada against "a least year.

wife of the assistant superintendent OF
the New York and Cleveland Coal COM
pany at Oak Hill, was burned to death
in peculiar manner. She was clean
ing a rusty saw and was using what
she thought was elaine oil as a clean
ser. She placed the five gallon can
on the floor about six feet from the
stove and turned around to get a rag.
Immediately there was an explosion.
She ran from the house a mass Of
flames, and though her husband quick
ly wrapped her in a blanket and
smothered the flames, she was so badly
burned that she died In agony three
hours later. Mr. Boyd thinks his wife
had the gasoline can instead Of the oil
can, which would account for the ex-
plosion. While the neighbors were
working over Mrs. Boyd her house
burned to the ground.
