The Illinois Wreck,

Rockford, ILL.,, Dec. 17.-Failure
on the part of a conductor to obey
orders is supposed to have been the
cause of head-end collision on the
Illinois Central Railroad, between
Irene and Perryville, early today.
The two trains were the east bound
passenger train No. and a freight
train from Chicago going west. AS
a result eight people are dead or miss
ing and IL injured.
The trains met in slight bend in
the track, both running at full speed.
The smoker, express and baggage
cars were piled on the locom otives,
penning in the occupants of the
smoker. Only three of the hall
dozen persons in that car escaped.
The others were penned in and if not
instantly killed were roasted to death
and their bodies, along with those OF
the engine crews, were entirely con-
sumed. All efforts of the survivors
to reach the victims were unavailing.
The flames drove them back from
every point.
The temperature was 20 degrees be-
low zero and an icy wind was blowing
across the prairie, the point where
the wreck occurred being a shallow
cut, affording no protection. The
injured were without hats and wraps
and suffered terribly. By the united
efforts of the survivors, the way Cal
was pushed back from the wreckage
to escape the flames and the wounded
we're placed on the hunks inside.

Went Through a Bridge.

Williamsport, Pa, Dec. II. A
freight train on the Philadelphia &
Erie division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad went through the bridge
spanning Lycoming creek, between
this city and Newberry, at 6 O'Clock
this morning. Three lives were lost.
The train was known as fast freight
No. 83, and was running three hours
late, owing to the disarrangement of
schedule in consequence of the storm.
The bridge spanning the creek was
a two-span iron structure, the first
span of which gave way. The engine
and nine cars were engulfed in the
icy waters. The creek was greatly
swoolen as result of the heavy rains,
aud it is presumed that the middle
piece had been weakened. No efforts
could be made to reach the bodies on
account of the height of the waters.

THE CATHOLIC FEDERATION.
The subcommittee Sends Out Il
Statement, Asking Suggestions
From the Societies.

Philadelphia, April 13.-The sub-conl-
mittee appointed at meeting Of Cath
ohc societies in New York last Thanks
giving Day to draft a constitution for
a proposed federation of the societies. is
sued a statement tonight. The adoo-
ton OF a constitution just now is not
deemed advisable inasmuch as the sub
committee asks for the views of the va
rious societies on suggestions it makes re-
garding the lines on which to form the
federation. These suggestions in the
main are:
"A society might be established in
every archdiocese and the diocesan
branches added as might be feasible, all
tending to a national organization for:
First. The promotion of social, civil
ard religious interests.
Second. The assistance and encour-
agement of the Catholic press, the crea-
ton of the demand for Catholic litera-
ture and the means Of disseminating It,
Third. The refutation of all misrep-
Catholic church"
The archdiocesan and diocesan societies
organized from the various societies with
in their territory, would form a national
society When the societies have offered
their views upon the matter above sug-
gested, the committee feels that it would
be in a position to formulate a constitu-
ton worthy of presentation to the Cath
Ole hierarchy Of the United States, and to
ask their criticism and appreciation.

CORBIN's OPINION OF FUNSTON.
Congressman Long Denies That the
Conversation Was CONFIDENTIAL.
Ioae+

From the Washington Post.
Medicine Lodge. Kan, April Icon
gresham Chester I. Long gave 20 the
correspondent of the Post tonight for
NAL statement in regard to his contro-
versy with Adjt Gen. Corbln over the
appointment of Gen. Funston to a briga-
der generalship. A recent dispatch from
Wichita quoted Mr.. Long as asserting
that Gen Corbin replied to the PROPOSE
ton to make Funston a brigadier gen.
eral saying, according to Mr.. Long,
Funston is a boss scout-that is all" and
II am making lieutenants out OF better
stuff than Funston every day"
Gen. Corbin replied to this interview
with the statement that he regarded the
conversation with Mr.. Long as confden-
tial, incidentally making a shot at Long
by declaring that Long told him that the
reason Kansas politicians were anxious
to get a commission for Gen. Funston
was that they wanted to keep him from
running for governor or Congress or the
Senate Now comes Congressman Long
with the following signed statement:
II did not consider my converse ton
with Gen Corbin confidential 1t was on
a public matter, in a public Office, and in
the presence of other persons. The state
ments which have been published were
not made by him alone to me, but also
to other persons at different times during
the two days preceding the appointment
The opposition of Gen. Corbin to che APP
pointment was open and notorious, and
was commented upon by all the leading
papers of the country at the time.
Gen. Corbin has a resourceful MEM
ory l did not say to him THAI Gen. Fun

not appointed. The Kansas delegation
and myself especially felt no concern
about Gen. Fuston's possible political am

PLOTS AMONG THE TURFMEN,
me Courier-Journal Predicts a Turf
War With Disastrous Results to
the Local Track.

, Louisville. April lS.-The Courier-Jour
nal tomorrow will say:
Another big turf war is now threatened
and the result. if there is a result, viii
vitality concern the Louisville Jockey
Club. From the indications it Will be the
Latonia track, near Cincinnati, against
Churchill Downs, and the prospect is not
bright for the local jockey club.
The first 1ntimation that anything was
in the wind became known yesterday,
when il was learned that secret confer
ence of turf men was held in this city.
Those present al this meeting were Law
renee Young, president of the Washington
Park Club, Chicago; Ed. Hopper of the
Latonia Jockey Club, and Ed Gardner,
proprietor of the Avondale stock farm of
Tennessee, who, it is said, represented
the Cumberland Park Club of Nashville,
a track unlicensed by the Western Jockey
CLUB, under which the Louisville, Wash
ington Park and Latonia tracks race.
Exactly what was done at this meeting
is not known, but the peculiar feature of
the conference was that Mr.. w. F.
Schultz, president of the new Louisville
Jockey Club, was not invited to the meet
ing and did not know the men mentioned
were III the city until after they had left
town last night. Why the meeting was
held here is not exactly known, though
as Mr. Young was compelled to be in
Louisville on Friday, it is likely that the
conference was held here because Louis
Vile was convenient to the other men.
The fact that President Schultz was not
invited to this conference made him sus-
picious of its Importance to the Louis
vile Club, and late Friday night he held
conversations over the long distance tele-
phone with James Fitzgerald of the
Hawthorne track, Chicago, and Capt.
James II. Rees of the Memphis Jockey
Clubs. The result OF these long distance
talks is that Messrs. Rees. Fitzgerald
and others will hold a meeting in Chi
cago to-day to consider what is to be
done

Hon. Philip B. Thompson, Jr., Member
of Congress from Kentucky in a recent
letter, has the following to say of the ma
tional catarrh remedy. Peruna. The let
ter was written at Washington, d. C.,
and reads as follows:
MY friends have used your remedy.

sides being one Of the very best tonics,
IL is a good subs tantial catarrh remedy.

MIR. William Pfeiffer writes from 300
Bank street, Cincinnati, o., as follows:
"Dr. s. b. Hartman. Columbus, o.:
Dear Sir: Owing to the fact that

health l am now enjoying. My case Of

tenn for years before / knew what was
wrong. II was going from bad to worse
until tired of IT, l went to an institute
for treatment. The doctor in charge said
my nose would have to be operated upon.
Having no confidence in the operation he
wanted to perform, I at once began TO
take Peruna. which is our family rem
edy. / also followed your directions In
the book. winter Catarrh," for which
NV mother sent, and found relief. Short
ly after l suffered with heavy cold, but
recovered from that, and am now very
healthy.
IT cannot express my thanks TO you
for the service your medicine has render
ed me, and I recommend it as the best
remedy for catarrh, as / am one VINO has
been cured by your medicine. william
Pfeiffer, Jr.
Mrs. W. z. Grissom of Henry, Ellis
county Tex, writes:
II took Peruna faithfully over two
months, and the result Is a thoroughly
renovated system and a strong, buoyant
feeling, to say nothing of a cure of the
chronic catarrh. Therefore, ] shall avail
myself OF every opportunity to speak OF
Peruna as catarrh cure" Mrs. W. Il.
Grissom.
Catarrh Is a systemic disease, durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This Is
what Peruna does. Peruna Immediately
invigorates the nerve centers which give
vitality to the mucous membranes. Then
catarrh disappears; then 1t is permanent
ly cured.
Mr.. Harry NJ. Stevens of Midland
Beach, l.. l., New York, proprietor OF the
Richmond Hotel says this OF Peruna:
ut gives me pleasure to testify to the
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-04-14

During the winter season the onset OF
catarrh is often very sudden. 1t begins
like an ordinary cold. 1t very rapidly
fastens itself upon the organ attacked,
whether 1t be the head, throat or lungs,
and assumes a stubborn form Of catarrh
al once
Upon tn first appearance of what is
known as a common cold everybody
should Immediately take warning and
provide themselves with a bottle OF Pc
runa. One bottle OF Peruna will do more
at the beginning of the attack than sew
eral bottles can do after the disease has
become thoroughly established in the sys-
tenn.
Peruna cures the catarrh wherever To-
Gated. Peruna is not a guess nor an ex-
periment--it Is an absolute scientific GER
tainty. Peruna has no substitutes--no
rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use OF Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving a
full statement Of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice free.

Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, o.
