MEET DEATH IN A WRECK.
Seventeen Persons Are Killed and
Scores Injured in a Collision
Near Marshall, Mo.

Kansas City, Mo-, July xs11.-A
crowded west-bound passenger train
on the Chicago & Alton road crashed
into stock train five miles east Of
Marshall Wednesday, the accident re
sulting in death to 17@persons and
injury to more than 40, some of the
latter being fatally hurt.
Six persons were killed outright,
four died on a relief train which was
bringing them, with the others in
jured, to this city, and seven died
at hospitals in the city,; N u~:.-3.
After the collision the wreck took
fire, and several cars were burned.
There may be other bodies in the
ruins. The dead are:
P. J. Anderson, Slater, Mo-, engineer of
freight train; Frank Briggs, engineer of
passenger train; Mrs. r. J. Curtis, of Gen
eseo N. Y, died at hospital; Mrs. Dickson,
81 years old, of Wilmington, ILL.,, died at
hospital: Daniel Donnelly, fireman of
freight train, died at hospital; Mrs. Gil
Harry, Hoopeston, ILL.,, died at hospital;
D. w. Hooker, Of Syracuse. N. Y, died on
train; Sidney Jones, died in st. Joseph's
hospital; Daniel McAnna, Slater, Mo-, con-
ductor of freight train; I. S. Raiser, Chi
cago, United States Express messenger;
Miss Lulu Rider, aged Is years, Of Kent
land, Ind; G. L. Roy, cashier of the Will
mington Gll) bank, died on train; Mrs.
c. W. Snyder, Jasper, N. Y, died on train
unidentified woman, young, supposed to be
daughter Of Mrs. Curtis; unidentified wom-
an, aged. died at the hospital; Mrs. Frances
Walker, of Brooklyn, terribly scalded, died
at St. Joseph's hospital.
The wreck is the worst that has
occurred on the road for years. {
Because of the heavy travel of Ep-
worth leaguers to the Pacific coast
the passenger train was running in
three sections. The wrecked trail,
was the first section and handled the
regular passengers, the leaguers fol-
lowing in the other sections.
The cause of the wreck is believed
to have been a misunderstanding on
the part of Conductor McAnna, of
the freight train. He had been or
dered to meet the second section Of
the passenger train at Slater, but
apparently overlooked the fact that
the first section, which was nearly
an hour late, had not passed.
The trains met shortly after seven
o'clock on a curve surrounding a
high embaniment. The greatest loss
of life was in the tourist sleeper.
This car was telescoped and fell on
top of the engine. The passengers
were terribly burned and scalded
by escaping steam. The chair car
piled up close by, and half dozen
of it's occupants received injuries.

IS IN BAD SHAPE.
The True Condition of the Endovy-
ment Rank, X. p, a Shock to
All Its Members.

Chicago, July 10.-A half million of
unpaid death claims and 1888 with
which to pay them. This was the
plight in which the Endowment Rank,
knights of Pythias, found itself ON July
l. There were a half million of Gin
vestments," to be sure, but hardly any
OF 1t was productive, and much of it
meant outlay, not income. Members
OF the organization, one of the largest
OF its kind in the country, were aghast
at the revelations showing that,
though $120,137,000 of insurance was
carried. the cash was only 1888.
Startling charges of reckless fnan-
clering, juggling of accounts, and mis-
appropriation of funds were made by
the report of the board of control to
special meeting of the supreme
lodge of the order called to consider
this crisis in it's affairs. Ever since
the Illinois and Connecticut insurance
departments began an examination of
the condition of the rank it has been
known that it's financial affairs were
IN bad condition. Not until Tuesday,
however, was the seriousness of the
charges appreciated. The men most
seriously implicated by the report,
which is verified and supported by the
examinations of the insurance de-
partments, are Mr.. Hinsey, former
president of the board of control: II,
u. Stolte, its secretary, and w. D. Ken
nedy, an employe of the board and ed
itor of Pythian paper.

SEEKS INDEMNITY.
China Demands Redress for Abuse
OF Her Subjects at
Butte, Mont.

Washington, July 10.-The Chinese
government, through Minister WI
Ting Fang, has filed claim for in
demnity to the amount of half mil
lion dollars on account of alleged out
rageous treatment of Chinese at
Butte, Mont. There is a suggestion
of Boxer outrages reversed in the
presentation of the case to the state
department., the treatment inflicted
upon the Chinese at Butte being
claimed to have been cruel and op-
pressive. It is charged that some of
them were killed, others lost their
property and nearly all were ruined
in business and many of them were
driven out. The claimants number
several hundred. The outrages date
back to 1886, and it is declared that
the city council of Butte upheld the
rioters and the boycotters; that the
state courts upon appeal decided in
language SO rnjudicial as to be itself
a subject of complaint that the city
council was right, and finally that re-
lief could be obtained only measur-
ably through an appeal to the United
States circuit court. The claim raises
some novel and extremely interesting
points of interna tional law.

Ruined by the Heat

Topeka, Kan, July 10.-The hot
weather in Kansas continues with no
immediate chance of relief. Corn has
withstood the ravages of the heat
until Monday. Now it is fast shriv-
cling up, and the prospect is any,
thing but promising to the farmers.
The oats crop is worse than a fail
ure and hay is scarcer than for years.
In Western Kansas the conditions are
better than in the eastern part, this
being directly opposite to the usual
state of affairs. Some of the central
Kansas farmers are shipping their
stock to western Kansas, so as to
take advantage of the superior hay
crop. It is estimated that Kansas
will suffer crop losses from the pro-
tracted heated spell to the extent of
$1O,O00,000.

NO MENTION OF BRYAN.
Revolutions Adopted by Ohio Demo-
Gratis Omit Reference to Late
Presidential Candidate.

T. Columbus, o., July 1.-THE demo-
cratic state convention convened here
Wednesday under peculiar. circum-s
stances. All the more conservative
elements had combined in the prelim-
inaries against the friends of Mayor
LON l.. johnson. but the combina ton
was not maintained.
Ihe johnson men won on their IA
Norlte views on state matters and the
others on national issues.
There is no reaffirmation of the
Kansas City or any other platform.
There is no mention of previous plat
| forms or of Bryan.
The platform says that the democrats
or Ohio reafirm their belief in the equal
| ity of taxation and other public burdens;
their advocacy of the equal rights Of all
people, with special privileges to none;
| their hostility to monopolization of in
| dustry with its tendency on the one hand
to crush out individual enterprise, and
| on the other to promote a socialistic spirit
among the people as the only refuge from
oppression; and their faith in that theory
and practice of constitutional government
which brought the nation into existence
and have preserved it to the present gen.
Grafton. The government of municipali-
ties, the platform says, should be radical
! ly reformed. and the democratic party
| therefore calls upon the people to unite
with it in placing the conduct of mu-
| n1c1pal affairs upon business basis, that
they may be administered by the people
In the interest of all the people on the
principle of home rule. No franchise, ex-
| tension or renewal thereof ever to be
granted by any city or village without
| first submitting the same to a vote of the
people, Steam and electric railroads and
other corporations possessing public fran
chlses should be assessed as are farms and
| city real estate. Tariff reform in the abo-
IHtlon of protection and the rigid enforce
| ment of anti-monopoly law are dealt
with at length. A merchant marine is ia
vored, but national ship subsidy is OPP
posed.
The order of nomination was then
reached and followed by wild scenes
in the nomination of Col. James Kill
bourne, of Columbus, for governor.
Kilbourne was nominated by &C
clamation.
The rest of the ticket is as follows:
Lieutenant governor, Anthony How

Proposal,

Washington, July 10.-Another i'm
portant exchange has occurred be-
tween the Russian government and
the United States relative to the
tariff. The Russian minister of
finance, NJ. de Witte, has proposed
that Russia will vacate all of the ad-
ditional duties levied on American
goods since the. imposition of the
sugar differential, if the United States
will vacate it's action on the sugar
diferential. To this Secretary Gage
has replied that the offer Of the Rus
sian government cannot be accepted,
as the question Of the sugar differen-
tial is now in the hands of the court,
thus precluding action by the execu-
tive branch. These; exchanges, al
though made nominally by the minis
ter of finance and Secretary Gage,
have gone through the medium of
the. Russian foreign Office and the
state department. ~''
