Lyschburg Va, Dec. 31.-A large
force of worlxmen under the direction
of General Superintendent Walker is
engaged in clearing away the debris
of the wreck which occurred on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad just
west Of here Sunday night. 1t is con-
sidered almost certain that two or
three persons besides those previously
reported were killed in the accident.
A boilermaker named Baker, from
Clifton Forge, is missing. A telegram
has been received here from W. T.
Carter of Danville, inquring for his
son who was on the train. The young
man cannot be found and it is feared
he is in the wreckage. Owing to the
high water, great difficulty is being ex-
perienced in getting at the mass Of
rock which covers the track. The body
of Co%ductor Whitaker, who was
drowned, has not been recovered and
the bodies of the men under the wreck.

giner Keister and o. J. Chadwick op,
orator at Warsaw Junction, were bur.
led under debris and were not rescued

and nearly frozen. Fireman Bell and
Brakeman COsgrove were thrown 10C

CAREER Of F. /. PEAVy
Notable Career of the Minneapolis Ele-
vator Man Who Died of Pneu-
monia at Chicago.
Contracted Slight Cold on December
20, and Never Left His Bed
After that Time.
One Of the Greatest Business Men and
Wheat Elevator Owners of the
Northwest

Chicago, Dec. 31:-Franh H. Peavey.
country, died here Of pneumonia, aged
81 years and II months.
Mr.. Peavey came to Chicago from
his home in Minneapolis nearly two
weeks ago on business. He was in mis-
usual perfect health, but Dec. 20 he
contracted a cold and that night took
to his bed in the Auditorium annex,
The cold quickly developed into pneu,
monia and the patients friends were
notified, although it was expected he
would recover. Hopeful bulletins were
received daily, but Friday night last
the patients condition took turn for
the worse, although he had felt better
during the day. Saturday night again
a good day was followed by distress
at night. Sunday, however, it was be-
lieved Mr.. Peavey had successfully
passed the crisis OF his sickness. Up
20 mid-afternoon his bedside was the
scene of an encouraging character. At
that hour, however, the patients
breathing became more difficult and
his heart action weaker. A hurried
consultation of physicians followed
and everything known to science to
combat the malady was done. At 2
o'clock Mr.. Peavey lapsed into uncon-
| sciousness and the family which sur
rounded him were informed that the
end was approaching. At $3.50 o'clock
he breathed his last
The following members of Mr.. Pea

his son; Mrs. H. R. Wells, daughter:
Mrs. F. T. Heffelfnger, daughter;
Mrs. A. D. Peavey, his mother; Mrs,
J. NJ. Cleland, a sister and F. D. Pea
| Vey, brother of New York. The de-
cedent's mother lives in Sioux City, Ia,
Mrs. Cleland in Chicago and the others
at the bedside excepting F. D. Peavey,
| in Minneapolis. Mrs. Peavey was
with her husband all through his i'll
ness, having left a sick bed herself in
Minneapolis to come to him.
Mr.. Peavey was credited with being
the largest owner of grain elevators in
the country if not in the world. The
sign "PV' was familiar one on grain
warehouses throughout the grain pro-
ducing states Of the West and North
west along the lines of the railroads.
At railroad terminal points he had
large holdings, his interests in Chi
cago being particularly heavy. His
name for years has been potent on the
boards of trade here and in the North
west.
The body was taken aboard a Chica-
go and Northwestern train for Mime
apolis. Plans for the funeral will be
made later.
1t is said that Mr. Peavey carried ST.
10000 insurance on his life.
Minneapolis newsboys were objects
of charity OF Mr.. Peavey. Several
years ago he started fund for them
and for every dollar deposited by a
newsboy Mr.. Peavey added another
dollar

PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA.
Reyes Not Anxious for the Situation
at Present.

Washington, Dec. 31.-A personal
letter has been received in Washington
from General Reyes, who had been Sc
lected by the various elements in Col
omb!a to take the presidency, indicat-
ing that he does not view with favor
this call to the executive chair and is
rather unlikely to accept it. General
Reyes was designated by the Colon
bian congress as successor to the pres
idency largely as a means to reconcile
the differences which had arisen be-
tween the friends of President Mar
oq-in and former President San Glenn
emit His position as former minister
Of war of Colombia gave him much
prestige and all elements are willing
to accept him as president. General
Reyes is now in Mexico City, to which
point the call to take the presidency
was sent to him. He does not state
positively that he will not accept but
it seems plain from his language that
there is no probability of his becoming
president of Colombia, at least during
the pendency of the present internal
struggle and foreign complications.

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Dec. 31.-Wheat cables
were 1ac higher this morning. This
was not up to our advance of yester-
day and local prices opened a shade
lower than yesterdays close. On some
healthy buying prices were advanced
&c to 7SMc for the May option. At
this figure there was some realizing to
even up over New Years. Price of
wheat may ease off some but we think
we are on the eve of another bull
movement, and it will prove to be of a
more substantial nature than the late
advance to SOC. Market fnctuated
within a range of 1ac for over an hour
with a firm undertone.
Corn: Cables 1ac higher. Prices
with lis were off Nc from yesterday and
lost another Hc in the early trading.
Part of the loss was regained later and
prices held steady.
Oats are lower today yet hold steady
at the decline. In the late trading
prices hardened, May selling at 45sc.
Provisions were 15c lower for pork
on the opening and further decline
of sc ensued There has been some
selling by packers today with the evi-
dent purpose of taking on another
load at lower prices.

AGREEMENT ON ARBITRATION
One on the Hague Lines Probable at
Mexico City.

Washington, Dec. 31.-The state de-
partment received dispatches from
Mexico City making clear for the 6rst
time what is to be expected on the
question of arbitration, the most i'm
portant and the most difficult problem
before the congress of American re-
publics. The advices came from Mr..
Buchanan. the American agent, who
was assigned to look after this particu-
lar question. He states that an agree
ment on the lines of The Hague con-
ference appears to be favored by thu
majority of the republics and this will
probably be the basis of action to be
taken by the congress. He also states
that those republics which desire to go
further than The Hague agreement
very likely will sign an Independent
convention for compulsory arbitration
The congress is RAPIDLY drawing to a
close and another fortnight will prob,
ably bring final adjournment so that
the determination of the arbitration
question appears to be very rear at
hand

FINANCIAL SUMMARY.

New York. Dec. 31.-Call money
ruled very high today; at one time
loans were made at 20 per cent and
stocks showed some weakness. Later
money rates eased off some and stocks
became strong and advanced all along

be plenty of money and bull market.
We advise buying coalers and grangers.
Mo. Pac. will probably be advanced by
the Gould interests. Rock Island has
been bought by the Moore interests
