Tins Mostly Japanese.

Blair, Mont, Nov. 10.--A wreck oc-
Cured on the Great Northern, near
here, Sunday morning, in which ten
men lost their lives and rs others were
seriously injured. An extra freight
ran into work train, and it was
among those on board the latter that
the terrible havoc was wrought.
Forty-one Japanese laborers were
aboard the work train, which was pro-
ceeding westward. 1t expected to meet
the freight at Culbertson. There is a
and they were running at a speed of
25 miles an hour. So great was the
force of the impact that the freight
cars were thrown upon the top of the
work train, which was piled high in
mass of wreckage.
Almost Immediately flames broke
forth and added to the horror of the
scene. Those uninjured Immediately
started to work to rescue those inn
prisoned in the wreck, whose dying
groans and piteous appeals for help
spurred on the workers. AT the time
the accident occurred the Japanese
were at breakfast, and before they
were aware of the impending danger
the cars were smashed into kindling
wood and the dead and dying men
buried beneath the heap of wreck
age. OF the entire number in the
car, but three escaped death or in
jury. After an hours work all had
been accounted for, and there were
ten dead bodies alongside the track
and several men so badly injured that
it is likely they will die.
1t was impossible to check the prog
ress of the flames, and soon seven of
the work cars and three freight cars
were in ashes. 1t was some time be-
fore word of the wreck could be got
ten to the outside world.

Junction City, Kan, Nov. 19.-An un-
identified soldier from Fort Riley Mon
day night shot and killed two men on
the street here. About 9:45 o'clock

the soldier before he got off the side
walk. The ball entered the base of
the neck, severing an artery. White
died few minutes after being shot.
The soldier continued shooting until
his revolver was empty. He then
turned and walked down the street,
swinging his revolver above his head
and wildly yelling: 81 want to die!
/ want to diet" The murderer has not
been captured, but is known to the au-
thorities, who are organizing posses
and making search for him.

STILL CONFIDENT.
Miss Stone Has Not Given Up Hope of
Her Release - BriEands Hold
Out for High Ransom.

Sofia, Nov. 19.-Another letter has
been received from Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone. Her health has been somewhat
affected by her continual confinement
and hard fare, but she expresses her
self as still confident of ultimate re-
lease.
A letter to Mr.. Dickinson, diplomatic
agent of the United States at Sofia,
replying to his proposals concerning
a ransom, says the brigands will hold
out for figure very much above the
sum at Mr.. Dickinson's command. The
brigands interpret Mr.. Dickinson's not
having fixed on the sum he is willing to
pay and on a time-limit as be-
ing indications that he can get more
money. They also demand immunity
from prosecution. But it is impossible
for the diplomatic agent of the United
States here to have power to bind the
governemnts of Bulgaria and Turkey.
This point, however, is not likely to be
a serious obstacle in the way of nego-
tiations

Make SIS Mile. an Hour.

The trials of the experiment elec-
trio military railway from Berlin to
Zossen are reported to be perfectly
successful. The speed of the trains
has been gradually increased until
now s5 miles are comfortably covered
in the hour. The cars run smoothly,
and the engineers express confidence
that they will attain a speed of 1875
miles per hour. The wires have been
tested to a capacity of $4,000 volts,
but hitherto only 5000 volts have
been necessary. 1t is expected that
a current OF 10000 volts will suffice to
give a speed per hour of 1875 miles.

12mO.; 1886 Pages; Illustrated.

This work is a romantic chronicle, in
which the men and women of the Olden
times walk and speak again, and we go
with them to their iresides. The grim
jurists, the doughty warriors, the mighty
men of the Nations childhood, and the
stately danes and naughty bellies, all pass
in a living panorama sketched by the
master hand of the author. Secret his
tory of the daily life of the Capital is I'M
covered for the first time; the motives of
statesmen and intrigues of diplomats are
laid bare.
Men and women whose names are as
familiar as the epochs in our history have
the loves and hates of their social world
all explained, and the in-comings and out
goings of politics are elucidated with
piQuancy that is as delightful to us now
as it would, no doubt, have been embar-
RAISING to many a grand parsonage half n
century ago.
The story goes back to the days when
the Father of his Country drove a hard
bargain with the sturdy farmers for the
site of the National Capital, and is brought
down to the present time.
