ENGINE RAN WILD.
Narrow Escape From Serious Accident
in Illinois.

CHICAGO. Sept. ga special to the
Chronicle. from Quincy. Ills, says:
A wild engine this morning endanger-
ed scores of lives on two passenger
trains and A. j. Arnold. an old en-
gineer on the C. B. & Q. railroad. had
thrilling experience.
Shortly after midnight. Arnold. who
has been pulling one Of the fast trains
on the road. backed down to the sta
tion to meet her on her arrival. The
engine was running SLOW and on reach
ing the station Fireman Smith jumped
off and entered the depot. supposing the
locomotive would come to a standstill
and wait for the train.
When Smith came out Of the station
he was Mortified to see the engine tear
ing over the viaduct towards Missouri.
The terrified fireman knew that some
thing was wrong and fastened to the
train dispatcher's office and gave the
alarm. A message was sent to the op-
orator at Moody. seven miles from
Quincy, notifying him that there was
an engine running Wild and request
ing him to turn it on the slding al
Moody and to hold the st. Louis pas
senger train north bound. which was
then due there.
The Moody operator obeyed lnstruc-
tions, barely having time to catch the
st. Louis train. which was switched
out OF harms way. In few minutes the
runaway engine could be seen coming
slowly up the grade and it died of
its own efforts in sight of Moody station.
Conductor oglesby of the St. Louis
train climbed into the cab and found
Arnold sitting on his seat in the cab
fast asleep, with his head out of the
window, Arnold was both surprised
and terrified when he realized what
had happened
The Chicago train from Kansas City
is also due at Moody right after the st.
Louis train, and but for the lack of
steam and the prompt word sent to
Moody station one or both trains might
have been wrecked and many lives lost.

The natives living near the base of

passed they returned to their homes.
The volcano is small and local scientists
predict that 1t will soon disappear.

Dends. though. on which political party
carries the elections. There are about
5000 eligible voters on the island. At
the elections last spring the Federals
carried the island by a majority OF
about 5000. II that party controls the
lower house and occupies the speakers
chair It will be in a position to dictate
to the upper house and to the governor
himself The other party. the Republic
cans, are pro administration In every
way. or at least purport to be. and are
IN favor OF the introduction Of Ameri-
can institutions. The Federals are anti
American in their sentiments and seem
opposed TO things American on general
principles. They want to see all the Of
fees filled by men from their own party
and It is CALLING sight to them to see
so many lucrative positions held by the
contlnentals or Americans.
Il AM very anxious to see how the
legislature works out. l will not be
surprised If It deadlocks at its first ses-
sion and accomplishes nothing. II this
should be the case congress would have
to pass a new bill and it is probable
that the lower house would be abol-
ished. A government by the governor
and his cabinet of the six heads Of de-
partments would be an admirable in
stituhon."

LOWER HOUSE A FAILURE.
Major Sharpe Recommends for Porto
Rico a Government of a Governor
and His Cabinet.

NEW YORK, sept6-The transport
Mcclellan which arrived last night
from Porto Rico, brought 10000 pesos
in Porto Rican silver. The coin was in
charge OF Captain William welgel,
Eleventh United States infantry. and a
detail. Of six men. 1t was turned over
to the express company to take to the
Philadelphia Rlint. where it will be re-
coined.
! A conservative estimate places the
amount Of unredeenied Porto Rico sill
yer in circulation on the island at
about s5OOO00. This coin is steadily
coming in through the various bank
agencies and 1t is safe to say that in
about six weeks or two months at
most but little of the old circulating
medium will remain on the island. In
the larger coast towns such as San
Juan. Ponce and Mayaguez, where the
government has established direct ex-
change. the provincial coin is exceed
ingly scarce being entirely replaced by
American gold, bills or silver, but in the
small isolated interior towns the new
medium is almost unknown.
The Spanish bank at San Juan up TO
date has put about $5OO,OOO in paper
which. although more or less wild cat"
is readily accepted and fast getting into
circulation.
When the first time limit expired on
August l, II was found that but little
over half of the Porto Rican coin had
been redeemed. The smaller merchants
refused to accept the debased currency
and prices doubled and business re-
mained at a standstill for several
weeks. Competition and the law of
supply and demand have steadily
brought about a readjustment and
prices have now, it is said, reached
the normal conditions.
