Train Rolls Down Mountain.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, Dec 1.-The most dis
astrous freight wreck in the history of the
West Virginia Central Railway occurred this
evening between Hendricks and Douglas on
the grade which runs 1877 feet to the mile.
A freight train of "a cars going toward
Elkins got beyond control owing to the slip
perry rails caused by the freezing rain. The
entire train, running over mile minute,
toppled over the steep mountain side with the
engine, and was demolished.
Engineer John Jaukey, of Piedmont, was
killed, his body being buried under the debris,
and Brakeman A. Wolfe was hurt. Jaukey' s
body at last reports had not been recovered.
1t is said the entire train is total loss, being
strewed along the base of the mountain. The
grade is one of the steepest of any road in the
country and the roar made by the runaway
train was heard for several miles.

Seven Pounds Lighter Than Straw
Hat"

The New York Evening Sun, of Tuesday,
whose editor, Mr.. Paul Dana, was college
mate Of Mr.. Roosevelt al Harvard, was very
severe on the message. 1t has been re-
puted recently that Mr.. Morgan's views are
reflected in the utterances of the Sun. and the
comment is. therefore, taken as Mr.. Morgan's
view on the message The Sun says:
"a calm and careful reading of President
RooseveIt's message can only excite in the
breasts of his intelligent friends-those who
have loved and admired him in the pasta
feeling of pity. Even his political beneficial
ries will strain their iniellects in indorsing it,
for, in the language Of those strenuous people
before whom he loves TO pose,i is seven
pounds lighter than straw hat.

Corn Crop Damaged.

1t was reported in trade circles this week
that there will be great disappointment when
the big corn crop in the West begins to move.
The crop is immense, but it is alleged that
great quantities of it has been 30 damaged by
rain that it will not grade up to the re-
quired standards for shipping. If such
should be the case it will also have a depress
ing effect upon the stock market as brokers
have been depending largely on the corn
movement to bring about an easier money
situation.

Ellen aged q years. months and 2S days, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Wolf.
Lay back the braids of her soft silken hair.
For Mary our darling is slumbering now;
Clasp on her breast those cold fragile hands
Hands that meier shrunk to meet Gods COM
mands.
We weep for the form that we'll see no more,
For the one whom we loved has passed from
door;
For missing smile, a kind cheering word
That greeted all hearts where'er she was
heard.
But not for that soul whose guerdon is won,
Whose infinite joy has only begun;
Nor for the spirit that just took its fight,
Toa home of sweet rest of perfect delight
Then fare thee well, our loved one dear,
We can no longer see you here;
Our Saviour calls we must obey;
He called our loved one home.

MANIFESTO FROM Beers
APPEAL By BOTHA, DE WET AND
DELAREY FOR ASSISTANCE.
Civilized World Asked to Assist Re-
pairing the Ravages of War-TwO
Big Contributions.

AMSTERDAM. Sept A-The Boer gen.
erals Botha, De Wet and Delarey have is
sued manifesto In the shape of an appeal
to the civilized world. This document re-
calls how, after the terrible struggle in
South Africa and the Beers were compelled
to accept the British terms of peace. the
generals were commanded to proceed to
England and appeal to the new govern
ment to allay the distress which is devas-
tating the colonies, and in the event of the
failure of the mission to appeal to the
civilized world for charitable contributions.
Continuing, the generals say that, having
failed to induce Great Britain to grant fur
Their assistance. ii only remains for them
to address themselves TO the people of Eu-
rope and America. After setting forth how
sweet it had been during the critical days
they had passed through to receive con-
slant marks of sympathy, the generals
take this opportunity to express on behalf
OF the people of the late republics fervent
thanks to all those who had assisted char
itably the women and children in the con-
centration camps.
1.-THE small Beor nation" goes on the
manifesto, "can never forget the help it re-
ceived in it's dark hours of suffering. Our
people are completely ruined. 1t has been
impossible to make a complete inventory,
but are convinced that at least 10000
houses on the Boer farms and many viii
lagos were burned or destroyed by the
British during the war Everything was
destroyed and the country was laid waste.
The war demanded many victims, the land
was bathed in tears and our orphans and
widows were abandoned. We appeal
ing to the world for contributions to assist
the destitute and help in the education of
children
The generals repudiate all desire to in
flame the minds of the people and declare:
1.-The sword is now sheathed and all differ
ences silent in the presence of such
great misery" They say the small amount
given by Great Britain, even If multiplied
ten-fold, would not suffice to cover the war
losses alone. The appeal concludes: I'VE
solicit the hearty cooperation OF all exist
ing committees in the various countries
the '' Object O. of establisHing satisfactory
organization" The manifesto is signed by
General Botha, General De Wet and Gen.
eral Delarey.

ERTLE MURDER TRIAL.
Testimony Taking Finished and the
Arguments Under Way.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PORTLAND. Ind, Sept 24.-The defense
in the Ertle case rested at lao o'clock this
afternoon, after examining four more wit
nesses. and no rebuttal testimony was in
troduced. The argument was at once taken
up, four hours being allotted by Judge Smith
to each side This will make the case go
to the jury about tomorrow noon.
The State rested at $40 O'Clock this
morning. Its strongest witness was Chris.
Who tesfed that some years c Se
heard Ertie threaten to have the life
blood of his wife; also that he knew of
him choking her until the witness thought
she was dead. He said that the old man'
ran out of the house on that occasion just
he entered the door.
John +. La Toilette presented the side of
the defense. and in his statement told that
they expected TO prove that Mrs. Ertle
killed herself; she had been afflicted with
epilepsy, but had suffered from no attacks
for two years previous TO her death. had
acted in peculiar manner and only few
days before said she would not be with
them very much longer. He said the quar-
rel of the night previous between the old
man and his son Oscar had excited her
considerably and worked upon her nerv-
system.
Harvey Ertle. a son, was the first witness
for the defense. He denied the story that
his mother had been run out OF the house
by his father with corncutter in his
hands because she went to church. also
that his father was so solicitous as 10
the comfort of Mrs. Bisel the day of
his wife's funeral, as detailed by witnesses
for the State. He was followed by County
Coroner Brokaw, in n detailed description
of the wounds on the woman's throat.
Among the other witnesses examined
were DIR. John w. Hall. Dr. Milton II. jay
Dr. j. +. Kidder, DR.. Samuel F.. Munsey

ones. There testimony tended to weaken
