BLOODY BATTLE RACES,
It Is Believed That Castro Is Making
His Last Stand.

It Is Believed That Castro Is Making
His Last Stand.
Willemstad, Oct. 18.-Dispatches re-
ceived here state that the fighting
near La Victoria began again yester-
day morning with undated fury, and
that the engagement is accompanied
with great loss of life. Meager re-
ports that have passed through the
hands of the government censor at
Caracas say that the revolutionists are
losing the ground they gained Wednes-
day at Cuji. Gen. Matos is believed
to be at Villa de Cura with 1900 men.
1t is believed that Castro is making
his last stand at La Victoria, and that
the ultimate result of this engage
ment will determine the fate of the
revolution. Although he has received
reinforcements and now has 5000 men,
he is pitted against force of Z 200
revolutionists. and is short of ammuni
ticn. His artillery which formerly in
cluded fifteen guns, has been reduced
to four. 1t is said that La Victoria is
filled with wounded troops, and there
are no provisions in the town. The
Caracas dispatches state that the gov
eminent troops hope to obtain ammu-
milton from the capital to-day. but in
view of the strict censorship, it is
thought that the reports from La
guaira to the effect that the revolu-
| tionary forces are in possession of the
German railroad between Caracas and
| Valencia are more likely to be true.
Matters are expected to take a decis-
| i've turn to-day.

The number of applicants for certi-

Several causes have led to this. First
and most important, the greater oppor-
tunities in these prosperous years for
teachers to better their positions by
entering other fields OF labor. Again,
no doubt. many, feeling their deficien-

method of examination. The res.llt is
a scarcity of teachers in most of the
counties. Many new schools have
been established In the last two years,

lines. Teachers have. been attracted

ribIe Catastrophe.
Hammond, Ind, Oct. IS. - Nearly
500 passengers who were aboard train
No. 10 on the Wabash road, narrowly
escaped wreck and death near Clark
station last night. A short distance
out of Clark the Wacash crosses the
Grand Calumet river over huge tres
tlework bridge. Some repairs had been
made on the structure only recently
and it was considered perfectly safe,
the track walkers having just patrolled
the bridge before the Wabash limited
left Clark station. AS the vestibuled
limited neared the huge trestle work,
having aboard nearly 500 souls nearing
the journeys end, the train was going
at full speed. The engine flew with
its seven coaches onto the bridge and
reached the middle of the structure
that spanned the Calumet when the en-
gineer was shocked to hear the crack
ing of timbers as the middle span OF
the bridge sunk beneath the locomo-
tive. He opened the throttle to the
farthest limit and the train fairly
leaped from the swaying trestleworl1
to terrafirma. AS the passengers felt
the visible collapse of the bridge there
was wild commotion. 1t seemed as
| il the whole train was to be hurled
from the bridge. The panic, however
was but temporary, SO quickly did the
limited cross over. The engineer S
presence of mind in forcing his train
through the danger was the only thing
that saved many lives and prevented 6
great railroad wreck and horror.

Guernsey Against Guernsey.

j. w. Guernsey, proprietor of the big
music house, Guernsey hall, brought
suit, yesterday, through Willard. War
rem & Knapp, against M. w. Guernsey,
former employe, now doing business
in the music line, as Guernsey Bros,
to restrain the defendant from selling
pianos on which is stencilled the name
Guernsey" and to compel him to give
an accounting Of profits made by the
alleged fraudulent use of the name
Guernsey" on pianos he has sold.
The plaintiff contends that as he has
spent much money and effort in maxi
ing the name Guernsey celebrated
in the piano market, he should have
the exclusive right to, use it on pianos.
The action of Guernsey Bros. in using
the word Guernsey as a name for
pianos they have sold, is characterized
as fraudulent.
A preliminary injunction, restraining
the defendant from using the name
Guernsey" on pianos, was granted by
Judge Newcomb, together with Il rule,
returnable next Monday, to show cause
why the injunction should not be made
permanent.
