Weekly Review of Trade says: Trade

at some points Is checked by insufficient
Transporting facilities. This Is tribute
to the unusually heavy shipments which
are shown more definitely by railway earn
ings In September. 90 per cent. larger than
last year, and 1877 per cent. above those Of
1899. Manufacturing Is OF such vigor that
few wheels are idle. and further wage
agreements have reduced the number of
strikers to a minimum. Mild weather.

KILLED HIS ENEMY.
Pastor of n Carbonate, Ill, Church
shoots n Neighbor and Claims He
Acted Only I'm self-Defense.

Carbonate, ILL.,, Oct. REV. Jo-
seph Mechanism, pastor of the Sew
enth Day Baptist church, on Saturday
shot and killed Benjamin Brown, a
carpenter. Both men are well known
residents of Carbonate. The trag-
edy took place near the corner of the
public square, at time when the
streets were filled with the usual
crowd of Saturday traders. Some
months ago the McCammish and
Brown families lived together in q
double house in the outskirts of the
city. The arrangement proved un.
fortunate. for McCammish and Brown
quarreled with each other, their wives
quarreled and each man quarreled
with his own wife. Since that time
a bitter feud has existed between the
two men.
Saturday morning McCammish was
standing talking to Mr.. Homer Kney,
merchant of Carbonate, when
Brown came up and began a quarrel.
But little of the conversation be-
tween the two men was heard by Mr..
Kney. However, McCammish claims
that Brown attacked him with a
knife, and that in self-defense he
shot him, the ball entering under the
left arm, causing internal hem
orrhage, from which Brown died 4c
minutes later.
Although McCammish is minister
of the Seventh Day Baptist faith, he
has been working as a blacksmith tc
exc out livelihood. He is AZ years
of age and has wife and two chill
dren. Brown has for years borne
reputation as fighter and quarrel.
some man. He was 35 years old and
leaves a wife and son.
The coroner's jury summoned to in
quire into the killing of Brown rem
dered a verdict late Saturday night
fully generating McCammish.

LAST CROP REPORT.
Weather Bureau Issues the Final
Summary of the Season as 10
Agricultural Conditions.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Following is
the last weekly summary of crop con-
ditions to be issued by the weather
bureau this season:
'.The temperature conditions If the week
ending September 80 were highly favorable
throughout the central valleys, lake region.
Middle Atlantic states and New England
and no damaging frosts occurred In these
districts. Heavy rains in the Upper Mis-
souri, valley and Minnesota interfered with
farm work and caused some damage to
hay and stacked grain In South Dakota and
Nebraska. Excessive rains also inter-
ferred with farm work in portions of the
South Atlantic and East Gulf states. Rain
is generally needed in Illinois. Indiana and
southern Michigan to put the soil in con-
dition for blowing and fall seeding and also
over the greater part of Texas for pas
lures and truck farms. On the North Pa
cifc coast the week has been cool and wet
with damaging frosts In Oregon and Wash
ington. Injurious frosts also occurred over
the Middle Rocky mountain districts.
1.-THE week has been favorable for matur-
Ing and gathering corn. and reports from
the principal corn states Indicate that
much larger acreage than usual at this
date has been cut. The crop is now prac-
tically safe from frost In all districts.
"Only a small part of the tobacco crop
and that in Kentucky and Tennessee. re-
mains unhoused. The reports generally In
dictate that this crop has been secured In
satisfactory condition.
"In Kansas and portions of Missouri. Ar
kansas, Illinois and West Virginia, more
particularly in the first-named state the
reports respecting apples are encouraging,
but no improvement is reported from other
districts.
"Plowing and seeding have progressed
favorably in nearly all districts and the
early sown wheat in the states OF the Low
er Missouri valley has come up In excellent
condition. In southern Michigan and por-
tions Of the Ohio and Central Mississippi
valleys. however, blowing and seeding
have been delayed on account of the dry
condition of the soil, and in OHIO seeding
has been purposely delayed on account of
the Hessian hy.'

TRAINS COLLIDE.
Road Near Onward, Ind,
Kills Four Men.

Logansport, Ind, Oct. -Four Pan
Handle trainmen met an awful death
near Onward, IA miles southeast of
here Sunday morning in a rear-end
collision of freight trains, the bodies
of three being taken out badly mutt
lated and the fourth being almost en-
tirely consumed before the wreck
crew could subdue the flames suffi-
GENTLY to permit work in that por-
ton of the debris. The dead are:
Ebert Greeley, conductor; Thomas
II. Brosius, fagman; S. A. Galbreath,

man. The injured: Frank Patter-
son, engineer.
Duringthe night Conductor Weaver,
in charge of the second section of
train No. 70, an engine and two ca
bosses, left Hartford City for Logans-
port. In the rear caboose were Gal
breath, Brosius and Greeley, who had
been working on the gravel train at
Hartford City, and who were en- route
to this city to spend Sunday with
their families. They were all asleep
when the train stopped near Onward
to make up steam. The fiagman was
sent out to watch for the third Sec
ton from the east, and no danger
was thought of until the train
doomed up too close for any to escape
except Weaver, who jumped and got
off unihjured. The third section,
with Engineer Frank Patterson at
the throttle, had attained high speed,
and when it struck the rear caboose
the engine reared in the air, turned
clear around and came down on her
side in the ditch, MASKING a number
of cars into kindling wood and bury
ing in the debris the sleeping train
men and Hutchinson, the fireman for
Patterson. The wreckage promptly
caught fire, and the flames kept at
bay the unipjured trainmen and the
men who gathered from nearby farm
houses. A special train conveyed q
part of the Logansport fire depart
ment to the scene. The fire was ex-
tinguished and the work of removing
the bodies begun. The remains of
Galbreath, Hutchinson and Greeley
were found, but the body of Brosius
was almost entirely consumed, only
pieces of burned flesh and bones be-
ing recovered.

THE SCHLEY INQUIRY.
Lieutenant Commander HodEson Pro-
duces Some Correspondenceo on
nm Alleged COIlOquy.

Washington, Oct. 7-Only one ses-
sion of the Schley court of inquiry
was held Saturday. An adjournment
until Monday was taken at one
o'clock in order to allow court and
counsel to recuperate after an ardu-
Gus weeks labor. Practically the
only witness of the day was Lieuten-
ant Commander ALBION C. Hodgson,
who was navigator of the flagship
Brooklyn during the campaign of
1898, and almost his entire time was
taken up with the reading of CORE
spondence between himself and Ad-
miral Schley concerning an alleged
colloquy between them during the
battle of Santiago, which the witness
was reported to have detailed to a
newspaper correspondent. The cor
respondence has been published and
this fact rendered the proceeding of
comparatively little interest. Lieut.
Doyle was also on the stand again,
but only for the purpose of correcting
his former testimony.
During the day Judge Advocate
Lemly made another statement con-
corning Admiral SIMPSONS dispatch
of May 20, 1898, relating especially
to the admiral's use of the word "San-
tiago" where it was alleged he had
intended to use the word "Cienfue-
Cos" He produced the original copy
which showed that the name appears
Santiago" and that it appears over
an erasure. He called attention to
the fact that in the press copy book
it is Santiago, which shows that the
change was made before the letter
was press copied and sent.

not try again." he added, "and there
is no other British yachtsman with
money to spare for so extensive an
enterprise, hence the cup will remain

TROL
HAVE NO DESIRE FOR TROUBLE
Committee Appointed to Confer
With BOard-Swede Said to Re
Worth Hundreds OF
Millions

Several matters of interest came up be-
fore the regents of the state university at
their annual meeting yesterday. Tho
most important business was their deci-
sion to act independently Of the state
board of control. This action Is based
on the ruling of Attorney General Doug
las to the effect that the law creating
the board Of control could not be con-
strued as putting educational institutions
under the jurisdiction of the board.
In order to promote harmony between
the two boards, a committee, consisting
of Coy. S. r. Van SAINT, ex-GoY. John
S. Piilsbury. Judge Stephen Mahoney and
Judge Wilson was appointed to confer
with the board of control. It is not
thought that there VIII be any friction.
In the meantime the regents will proceed
as if nothing had happened To-Day bids
will be opened for the construction Of the
buildings the regents have had IN view.
The actual work viii lie begun in the near
future.
The regents adopted. IL the main. the
curriculum as framed by the faculty The
academic department viii have only one
course leading to the degree of bachelor
of arts. The freshman in this course will
be obliged to take one language, one sci
ence, a course in mathematics and a
course in either English or Latin.
