More Railroad Talk.

Delay in the completion Of the
preliminaries for the construction Of
the new line to the Black Hills from
Aberdeen, through Pierre, to Rapid
City and other Hills points is said
to be due to the delay in completing
the working details of the Burling-
ton deal, says. the Minneapolis Jour
nal.
While the new line was begun as
"a project independent Of all other
systems, it was later announced
thatone Of the big northwestern
systems had become interested and
stood ready to purchase the road as
soon as it was completed. It was
also understood that in the sale 81
the bonds and other preliminaries
some Of the bigger elements in the
railroad world would assist the new
line to the Hills. So far had these
negotiations proceeded that the pro-
moters were confident tnat the first
installment Of cash would be ready
several weeks ago.
The report is now current that
President ]. j. Hill, of the Great
Northern, is the man interested il
the project and that the plans form
ed several months ago by the pro.
moters tended to make the new line
q part Of the Great Northern, North
ern Pacific and Burlington combina-
ton. The Burlington already taps
the Hills country, but the new line
would give the Morgan-Hill system

ness which must sooner or later find

promised excellent traffic connec-
tons from the start. This would
have interiered with the Milwaukee
and North Western systems on the
traffic Of western South Dakota.

Britain has thus far failed to crush
the Boer patriots, and this failure
has resulted in the adoption by the
English government Of the recon
centrado cruelites Of Spain. This
policy in South Africa is yielding
the same fruits of starvation and
death among the Beers as it yield
ed to the Cubans under Spanish
authority in 1896 and 1897. MOI
in the balmiest days Of Weylerism
in Cuba did the Spanish journals
at home condemn the policy, yet
the details Of this policy in South.
Africa are so revolving that the
more humane and reputable jour :
mails in London are loud in their
protest against its continuance by
the English government.
The London Daily News Of last
Sunday says in referring to these
horrors:
"The truth is that the death
rate in the camps is incomparably
worse than anything Africa or Asia
can show. There is nothing to
match it in mortality figures Of the
Indian famine where cholera and
other epidemics have to be con-
tended with"
Statistics are produced in proof
of this assertion.
The English governments ad-
vertisement for teachers for the
camp children, setting forth that
"the term Of employment will be
ons year certain" Is prominently
displayed as evidence that the an.
|thorities have no intention Of .end-
lag the wholesale destruction Of
human life."
The Daily News urges all hu.
name men not TO wait for official
reports, but to insist on ssthe
camps being broken up and the
people distributed among their
friends q removed to the districts
where ! fresh attempt can be
made, under competent organiza-
ton and with some regard to the
preservation Of life-that, Or ex-
termination and an eternal stain

influencing international affairs,

WRECK NEAR PENDLETON.
Big Four Fast Train PIunges Into "a
Misplaced Switch.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
PENDLETON Ind. Aug. 1.-THE Big
Four fast mail. SO. due here at SIP O'Clock
this morning, was wrecked at Raleigh. a
Hook signal station. two miles west of Pen
dleton. The engine, No. 2S7, was derailed
and completely dismantled, but though En-
gineer James Underwood and Fireman T..
w. Lutz stuck to the cab until the engine
turned over, they were not seriously in
jured. Lutz strained a shoulder and, so
far as known his was the only casualty.
Two mail cars broke from the engine and
traversed a corn field about 100 feet.
The express car was wrecked and the
combined smoker and baggage car derailed.
One passenger car and a sleeper did not
leave the tracks. The train was in charge
of Conductor JOIN BrOpst.
There are conflicting reports as to what
caused the wreck. Engineer Underwood
admits running at a rate of forty miles an
hour against a red Hook and ii is believed
by trainmen that Operator Kirkman tried
to throw the switch 10 the main line, but
did not have time. If the train had gone
i'm the siding the blind switch would have
ditched il at the rate il was travelling.
There were about fifteen passengers, but
beyond n shaking up not one was injured.
Baggageman W. H.. Nelson was squeezed
between two trunks. but only his clothes
were damaged. On a special from Ander-
son. over the interurban, passengers. mails
crews from BrightwOod and Union City
cleared away the debris so that by 3 O'Clock
this afternoon trains were again able to
pass the scene.

BUSINESS STILL FLOURISHES,


Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Aug. o.
Prosecutor Mayfeld this morning received
a lengthy letter from Attorney General
Taylor, as stated in to-day's Journal, in re-
gard TO the violation Of the marriage laws
in this county, by which thousands of
couples who live outside of the State have
secured licenses here in the past few years
In direct violation of the law. Prosecutor
Mayf1eld. when seen this afternoon, said
there was nothing for him to do but carry
out the orders of the attorney general, and
that the matter would be called to the at
tention of the next grand jury. He said
there would be some difficulty in securing
evidence in many of the cases, as the per-
sons were scattered all over the country,
but thought that possibly there are some
parents in Louisville whose daughters have
eloped to this city and were married who
would be willing to come here and testify
before the grand jury.
In spite of the fact that the matter is
being investigated, the usual list of Ken
lucky couples married here last night ap-
pears this morning. The magistrates in
sist that they are not violating the law,
and that when a couple appears before
them with a license there is nothing for
them to do but to marry them. The matri-
monial business still flourishes, and runners
meet every boat from Louisville ready to
assist those IN search of matrimonial bliss
in securing a license and finding a magis-
trate'S parlOr.
