companied by DR.. Bryant and Casius

disastrous Wreck on Great
Northern Road Last
Night.
Supt. Downs and Son Among
the Dead Thirteen
Injured.

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 31.-The wreck
on the Great Northern last night prov
ed very disastrous. The train has
Just arrived here loaded with the in
Jured people.
The accident occurred near Nyack
station. An east bound freight while
going up the mountain broke in two
A part of the freight came crashing
down and plunged into the west bound
passenger train.
The wreck was awful. A part of
the train caught fire and special car
loaded with laborers was demolished
and it is believed twenty were kill
ed. The private car of Superintend-
ent Downs was demolished and Mr.
Downs and his son were both instantly
killed.
Fire from the passenger train was
communicated to the freight and 10
cars of shingles were consumed.
Not until the second section arrives
after noon will the number of dead be
ascertained
The latest reports from the wreck
shows that 80 lives were lost and 13
persons injured
The wreck occurred 80 miles west OF
kalispel, Montana. Strange as it
may seem. not single passenger was
injured. the injuries and fatalities be
ing confined entirely to railroad en-
ployes.
The dead so far as known are:
P. 7. Downs, assistant general super
intendent of the Great Northern and
hi ft.ly, lot,
with Supt. Downs private car, and 80
Scandinavian laborers whose names
are unknown.
Superintendent Downs car was on
the rear end of the train and next TO
it was the car containing 46 Scandin
Wan laborers. The crash instantly
killed the occupants of the Downs
car, and horribly mangled those in
the laborers' car. They were sud
denly crushed to death like so many
ants, only 13 being taken out alive
and the most of those will die.
To add to the horror of the disa
ter fire Immediately started and very
quickly cremated the bodies of MI
Downs. his son and the cook. Then
the fire leaped to the laborers' car
and burned to ashes rs of the Scan
dinavians The fire spread to the re-
mainder of the train but the occupants
of the other cars succeeded in escap-
ing.
The telegraph wires were melted by
the intense heat of the flames and al
communication was cut of. After
several hours heroic work on the par
of the survivors they succeeded in get
ing word to kalispel when physicians
were Mt once dispatched to the scene
and communication was restored
Traffic was suspended for several
hours.

WAS NEAR DEATH IN A TRANCE.
Strange Story Of Religious Excite
ment from Missouri Town.

MACON, Mo-, Aug 3f.---Word reach
ed here today OF remarkable mani
iestation of what is regarded as d.
vine grace at College Mound. during
lhe closing session of the annual feast
of the Tabernacles. The meeting
had progressed along toward midnight
and there was intense enthusiasm.
A young daughter of Mrs. F. fl. Lam
bert, u lady who has been very prom
lnent in missionary work. became
very much agitated and fell down in
a swoon. Such things had occurred
before during the session and nothing
much was thought of 1t, but as the
night wore on the PROSTATE girl ex-
hibited no signs of returning to life.
The worshipers became alarmed and
used all sorts of means to arouse her.
At last a detail of five remained With
her, while others prayed for her re-
covery The next day at nine O'Clock
she revived. and although very weak
will recover. II was a close call, the
physicians say but the faithful regard
both the trance and the recovery as
maryels OF the Creator to signify His
presence at the meeting.

DEATHS FROM STARVATION.
Situation in zapata County, Texas,
Steadily Growing Worse.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. Aug. al
Conditions in Zapata county are stead.
lily growing worse. No food has as
yet reached the famine-stricken peo-
pie, and deaths from starvation are
daily occurring. The people are in
most pitiful condition. Sorrows un-
heard of in Texas before stare them in
the face. Women and children strug-
gle from house to house, walking for
miles in search of food, but no food
is found outside the towns. and the
people there have given until their
supplies are about exhausted. An
urgent appeal has reached here from
Corriz and food will be sent as soon
as possible. but it will be three days
before II can reach Zapata county. it
being fifty miles from a railroad. Lar
edo being the nearest point
Mayor Hicks and the business Mems
club have appealed to the people. and
there will be liberal response but
between now and the time supplies ar
rive at the famine.stricken region 1t
is feared there will be awful results
The drouth continues without any
signs of rain, and ranchmen who
have cattle there have abandoned all
hope of saving a hoof.
The United States government has
been appealed to for rations. but moth
ing has been heard from the appeal
There is no telegraphic communica-
tion with the country. and news that
reaches here is two days old at least.
How bad the situation is today can
not be told.

THAT HoWIsoN MATTER.
The Admiral Explains Few Things
to the Secretary.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.-The navy
respondence OF Admiral Howison and
the department relative to the Schley
court of inquiry.
In a personal Letter 10 the secretary
of the navy Admiral Howison calls at
tention to the fact that he was criti-
cised by many responsible newspa-
pers after his appointment on the
menting upon Admiral Schley's con.
duct at the battle of Santiago.
Howison says the attacks upon him
are unwarranted While in charge
of the Boston navy yard and directly
after the battle was fought he dis
cussed the matter in an informal man
and certainly gave all credit to all par
ties concerned that they deserved
Sampson was in charge of the fleet
and the more credit was certainly due
him. If it had been defeat instead oi
victory. he would have most certainly
come in for the blame Of it all.
Admiral Howison said that he had
not spoken lightly OF Schley but he
felt that proper honor should be giver
the commander In chief at the time oI
the battle in question.
The department in replying to th'
letter OF Admiral Howison saws hi.
explanation is perfectly satisfactor,
and that he will not be asked to re
tire from the board OF inquiry. bu
is requested to remain upon it. as tbs
department has the utmost conf
dence in his ability and fairness.

The Admiral's Health.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31-The un-
fortunate condition of Admiral Samp.
sons health has caused much specula-
tion as to what effect it will have on
the Schley court of inquiry. Reports
have reached here that the admiral is
in an almost dying condition, but it
is thought tIat he will be able to be
on hand at the inquiry. His cross
examination, however. might cause
his collapse. If he is unable to at
tend it is not improbable that the com
mission vii take his testimony at his
bedside.
