THIRTY OIL CARS WRECKED
Fear is Entertained that OIL May Be
Isnited and Cause n Dis
astPOus Fire.

PITTsBURG. Pa. Aug. 1s.-sharpsburg,
suburb Of Allegheny, is excited today over
the wreck Of a West Penn freight train Of
thirty cars. loaded with benzine. gasoline,
kerosene and lubrlcating oil. and fears are
entertained of another catastrophe such as
was visited on Sheridan. Pa, few months
ago. when 200 or more people we're killed
and injured by an explosion following
similar wreck.
Where the wreck occurred tank car con-
taiaing 5000 gallons of benzine broke and
the fluid ran out. forming in pools along
the tracks. There are over 10000 gallons
OF inhammable material on the track and
the trainmen are keeping people away from
the wreck.
Should spark fall from a passing engine
and ignite the benzine, the results would
be terrible, and the engineers have been
warned to be careful while passing the
scene Of the accident No one was hurt
in the wreck.

PROTESTS AGAINST RATES

CHICAGO. Aug. 1S.-Formal complaint
will be made by the Chicago Live Stock
association to the interstate Commerce
commission against western railroads which
have reduced their packing house and
dressed meat rates and have not made a
corresponding change in the live stock
rates. W. 7. Tomlinson Of the association
is now in Washington. and before he re-
turns he Will formulate the complaint re-
garding live stock Determinations.
Il is understood the trafic will not seek
to avoid a full investigation. believing the
ruling Of the commission regarding the
matter made in 1896 is not legal They Will
further assume the position that the re-
duetien in packing house rates was forced
upon them. and that they are therefore
not responsible and are not in duty bound
to lower their live stock rates.

SENATOR J. K. JONES.
He Thinks the Trusts Have Made
Democratic Votes.

Senator ]. K. Jones of Arkansas, chair
man of the democratic national committee,
arrived in the city today and at once went
to his committee room at the Capitol. He
was very busy during the day attending to
correspondence which awaited him here,
and this afternoon left for New York.
Senator Jones is feeling confident that the
coal trust and the beef trust have made
many votes for democratic candidates.
The trust question has been brought
home TO the people" he said when seen by
a Star reporter today. The beef trust and
the coal trust nave shown the result of the
republican policy"
DO you think voters intend to cast their
ballots against republican nominees because
of the beef combine and the coal strike''
Mr.. Jones was asked.
Il have reason to think they will. They
Will show their fear of republican policies
the outcome of which is shown in the auto
cratic rule by the people in the control of
the necessaries of life, and they will vote
to pat democratic House of Representa-
tives in power in order to check this ten
dency. i believe We will make great gains
in the coming election
