FIVE DEAD
Fatal Grade Crossing Accident
on Pennsylvania.
Collision with q Street Car Kills and
Mains f10ny-r1Oformdn'S Brake Fails
TO Work of Critical Chicago
the Scene of q Bloody CaIomlty.

,, CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Four per.
sons were killed, two fatally in.
jured, one of whom has since
died, and nine hurt by a grade
crossing collision between a For
ty-seventh street car of the Chi
cago City railway company and
the Fort Wayne express of the
Pennsylvania railroad at s O'Clock
Saturday evening. AS far as
the police have progressed in the
case the cause for the accident
seems to lie in the failure of the
brake on the motor car to per-
form its work.
The street car was open car
1, 434, in charge of conductor B.
S. Fulton and motorman P. H.
Bowman. 1t was well filled with
passengers and was west-bound.
AS the car, running at a rapid
rate, approached the crossing of
the Pennsylvania road at Forty
seventh street, towermanIAlbert
Haas, lowered the gates, for he
saw the outgoing Fort Wayne
express approaching from the
north. At the same time Flag
man Frederick Wallick began to
wave his flag, indicating that a
train was approaching.
According to Haas, who also
saw the street car coming from
the east, Motorman Bowman was
tugging at his brake and yelling
that he was unable to stop the
car. Conductor Fulton was
standing on the step Uf the car
ready to get off and go forward
on the tracks to see whether or
not any train was approaching
and if the tracks were clear to
signal the motorman to go ahead.
In an instant, however, the un-
checked electric car crashed
through the gates, and crossed
the first track as the engine came
upon the street crossing on the
second track. The locomotive
was running at good rate of
speed, and before it could be
stopped the electric vehicle
struck the mail car. which was
the second one in the train, the
baggage car being ahead of it.
The collision resulted in the
demolition of the electric car.

poured in a hot fire at 200 yards

confusion. 1t is known for cer-
tain that twenty-three Beers
we're killed, but the number is
probably greater. Numbers of
boers managed to stream out on
one side of the lager.
The British retired, but found
their line of retreat blocked by
another body of Beers which was
coming up. The situation was
perilOus, and a hand-to- hand
fight ensued. Fine bravery was
shown. Captain Morley was Sc
verely wounded. Three Beers
attacked Captain Wood and
pulled him off his horse.
Captain Wood smashed the
face of one of the Beers with

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 16.
The British steamer Darien
has arrived here from Colon and
brings reports of heavy fighting
Monday on the outskirts of Pan
anna and Colon. The rebels
were steadily advancing on the
towns proper. A large number
of men had been wounded.
A large number of wounded
men belonging to the govern
ment troops were taken to Colon
Monday. This is regarded as an
indication of the persistency OF
the rebel attacks.
The converted cruiser Nam
ouna has been found to be prac-
tically useless, owing to the
bungling attempts to mount
heavy guns on board her. The
Colombian government is now
negotiating for the purchase of
the steamer Bernard, of the West

pany Qimited) of Liverpool.
The Darien brought forty pass
engers who were obliged to leave
Colon in order to escape the dam

The British consul at Colon has
entered protest against jana

Colombian government to fight
against the rebels.
Passengers of the Darien say

cess seem better than at any
time since the commencement of

Blacks Driven From Town.

PIERCE CITY. Mo-, Aug. 21,-
For nearly fifteen hours, end
ing yesterday afternoon, this
town of 5000 people has been in
the hands of a mob of armed
whites, determined to drive
every negro from its precincts.
In addition to the lynching of
Will Cooley, accused of the
wanton murder of Miss Gazelle
Wild, and the shooting to death
of his grandfather, French God
ley, the mob cremated Peter
Hampton, an aged negro, in his
home, set the torch to the houses
of five blacks, and with the aid
of state-militia rifles, stolen from
the local company's arsenal,
drove dozens of negroes from
town. After noon the excite
ment died down, the mob gradu-
ally dispensing, more from lack
of negroes upon which to wreak
vengeance than for any other
cause. Many of the negroes
who fed the city are hiding in
tie surrounding woods, while
others have gone greater dis
tances in seeking safety, under
orders never to return.

A BIue.Stockins Kleptomaniac.

WATERBURY,, Conn, Aug. 19-
Papers are out in Woodbury. for
the arrest of Mrs. Catherine A.
Preston, wife of G. J. Preston.
Mrs. Preston has been for years
prominent and influential in wom-
ans work and society.
Her cellar was found to be full
of chickens which have been
identified as among those stolen
several weeks ago during a per-
iod when the town was suffering
from this kind of petty thieving.
Mrs. Preston declares she will
say nothing until Monday, in
court. Her husband is enraged
at her, and his friends say there
is little doubt that, if she be con-
victed, he will apply for a di-
vorce. She is an acknowledged
beauty, a fine dancer, and a
member of the towns blue-stock-
ing set. Her friends say it is
kleptomania, if she stole. Pres
toms father before he died, kept
the village store, and one of his
sons was a justice and town clerk
near Woodbury., and another had
a seat on the New York stock ex-
change for several years.

The motorman, who had stuck to
his post, was so severely crushed
that he probably will die. Some
of the passengers, startled by the
motorman's cries when he found
he could not use his brake, had
jumped to the ground, and had
been rolled over and over in the
mud of the crossing. Most of
the passengers, however, did not
have time to leap, and when the
collision occurred they were
hurled about among the debris.
The train men were held by
the police but were subsequent
ly released upon a promise to re-
spond when called for.

INCREDIBLE CREDULITY
Fort Wayne Girl an Easy Mark for a
Wandering CIairvoyant.

FIT. WAYNE, Ind, Aug. 21,-
Miss Jennie Ray, of this city,
mourns the loss of 81, 200, the
amount of the estate left by her
father, farmer, who died re-
Gently. G. L. Richie, clairvoy-
ant, is supposed to have the
money. Miss Ray, who is twen-
ty-five years old, was recently
left an orphan with 81, 500 in
cash. She paid the debts of the
estate and had $1,000 left, with
which she came to this city to
live.
She met @. L. Richie, a clair
voyant, and had several readings
last week. Arrangements were
made for a final seance, at which
she must wear her 81 200 in a lit
tie bag about her neck.
The fortune teller at the close
of the reading suggested that the
money be put in a safe place.
They went to the White National
bank and rented safety deposit
box, he asking the privilege of
putting in $1,000 of his own.
Richie put the packages in the
box with his own hands, and
they signed an agreement that
both must be present when the
box was opened.
The clairvoyant promptly dis
appeared, and the young woman
applied to the bank to have the
box opened in the presence of
witnesses. In her package was
a roll of brown paper, wrapped
in a dollar bill, and the S., 900
package was a roll of stage
money. This man has been gone
for five days. There is no clew.
The girl is penniless.

BURNED AT THE STAKE
Fate Of a Negro Charged With Murder
of a White Woman.

WHITESBoRO, Tex, Aug. 81, =
Alf Wilder, the negro charged
with the murder of Mrs. Cald-
well, the wife of Grayson coun-
ty farmer, at her home on Sun
day last, was captured by mob
and burned at Nelson's ranch.
The burning occurred early last
night. The mob was composed
of 800 men.
The negro was taken to a tree
and swung up in the air. Wood
and fodder were piled beneath
his body and a hot fire made,
Then it was suggested that the
man ought not to die too quickly
and he was let down to the
ground, while party went to
Dexter, about two miles distant,
to procure coal oil. This was
thrown on the flames and the
work completed.
Wilder was captured near Dex-
ter about 2 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. He had been seen the
day before by negro who knew
him, and who had informed the
citizens of the fact. A posse
was at once organized and the
work of beating the Red river
bottoms began. 1t is said that it
was the intention of the mob to
take Wilder back to the scene of
his crime and there lynch him,
but messages by telephone gave
warning that the authorities
were hastily repairing to the
scene with a considerable force
and the work of execution was
expedited.
A great crowd had gathered
here in anticipation of a chance
to participate in the lynching,
and when it was learned the
work had been done the people
expressed great disappointment.
Mrs. Caldwell was a bride of
six months. Dexter is far from
railroads, and there are no tele-
facilities.

AS FARMER
President Mckinley Talks Crops
and lnspects Land
Tenant Jack Adams tntertoIns his
Presidential LancIOrd tn Royal StyIo
end Is Promised q New House TO
Replace Present Dingy Structure.

| CANTON, Ohio, Aug. 19.-The
president had a run down to his
farm Saturday and a good old
fashioned country dinner, which
he said he enjoyed immensely.
He also took a trip over his farm
and compared notes with Ten.
ant Jack Adams as to the con
dition of the farm and the pros
poets for crops.
President Mckinley had as his
guests Colonel Myron T. Herrick
and son of Cleveland, DR.. Rixey
and Secretary Cortelyou. The
trip to Minerva, twenty miles
from here, was made in Colonel
Herrick's private car.
Adams remembered his recep-
ton and entertainment when he
was at the White House as the
presidents guest at the second
Inauguration, and he decided to
show Mr.. Mckinley and friends
good time. Farmer Jack had
the horses we'll groome, and the
carriages had been given special
attention to make everything
spick and span.
Adams got the president and
Colonel HerTick in his carriage,
and prouder man never held
the lines than was the farmer as
he drove the party to the McKin-
ley farm, two miles and a half
from Minerva.
A trip was made over the road
through the presidents farm and
over some of the fields, the pres
ident and Tenant Adams in the
meantime discussing crops and
needs of the farm. The presi-
dent was brought back to the
barn, and the sorrel team was
led forth for inspection. One of
the horses of this team is lame.
and the team has been given to
Farmer Adams, who hopes to
bring them around in good shape.
Jack took pleasure in calling at
tention to the Improvement of
the "off horse" and the presi-
dent smiled.
The president inspected the
barn, and the sheep shed. Then
the party went to the farmhouse.
This structure is not an up-to-
date one. In fact, it is much di-
lapidated, and it is said the pres
ident promised Adams to have
new house erected.
No one ever went away from
Jack Adams home hungry. The
president was no exception.
Mrs. Adams and daughters had
drawn on the larders for a gen
Gus supply. The president
seemed the most pleased member
of the party. He said it was an
excellent dinner, and the coun-
try ham furnished was just lit
tie the best he had eaten for
many day. He had not taken
a meal at his farm since seven
years ago.
After dinner the president and
party talked farm matters for a
short time, and then were driven
back to the railway station.
Meantime the residents of Miner
va had learned of the distin-
guished visitors presence. Flags
were hastily swung to the breeze,
and when the president got back
to town the little village present
ed the appearance of a Fourth of
July gala day.
