UNDER AN EVIL STAR
The St, Louis Flyer is Twice
Wrecked on a Single
Trip.
(Bv the Associated Press.l

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 2S.-Passenger
train 43, the st. Louis Flyer, on the Big
Four was wrecked at 1870 this morning
on high embankment, half mile west
of Avon, Hendricks county. Three pas
sengers were seriously injured and a
dozen or more We're slightly hurt, but
none fatally. The train was running at
high speed and struck a broken rail.
The engine and two mail cars passed
over it safely, but the other cars left
the track. Among those hurt was George
Brand, of Norfolk, Va, who was slightly
injured.
The train was delayed until o'clock
a. M, until new train was made up
and the run to ST. Louis was resumed
The train was running at a high rate
of speed. twenty-five miles beyond the
scene of the first wreck, when it ran into
an open switch at Carbon. The front
trucks of the engine left the track and
another disaster was caused. No one
was hurt in the second wreck.

Almost a Fuel Famine

Especial to the News and Observer
Wilmington, N. c., Nov. 2S.-Wood and
coal dealers say Wilmington is almost
in the throes of a fuel panic. The re-
cent cold weather has developed the
fact that there is very little of any kind
of heating material in the city and none
is obtainable, at least for the present
when it is needed most. No coal has
been received here since the termina
tion of the strike and the wood supply
is cut short by the concentration of all
labor in this vicinity in the cross-tie and
telephone pole industry. One large
dealer sent a representative out this
week to buy wood at almost any price,
but he was forced to return with no
purchases. While the situation with the
wealthy and middle class of people us in
no wise alarming, the poorer classes are
beginning to feel the effect of very much
higher prices and if the cold weather
continues, the situation will be indeed
serious.

fected an entrance into the store of G..

and extinguished. Nothing is missed
and the cause of the act is a mystery.

it was the court house and the jail would

House, witk several other buildings,
would have been destroyed by the fire.

CBy the Associated Press.)

Richmond, Va. Noov. 2S.-The case
brought by John S. Wise, on behalf of
certain colored complainants, to restrain
the State Board of Canvassers from is
suing certificates of election to the MEM
bers of Congress elected in the last Con-
gressional election, and to invalidate the
new Virginia Constitution, was called in
the United States Circuit Court at $3.50
o'clock this afternoon, Chief Justice Full
Ter presiding, and Judge Waddill sitting
with him. Attorney General Anderson
and Mr.. Frank Christian represent the
Commonwealth.
Mr.. Wise opened for the complainants
and was still speaking when court ad-
journed for supper.
Up to that time the trend of the Chief
Justices queries to counsel was against
Mr.. Wise. The latter's contention that
the Constitution was vitiated by the re-
fusal of the members of the convention
to take the oath, led the Chief Justice
to ask if the convention was not a con-
vention de facto. To the argument that
complaInants were without remedy as to
certain matters, the Chief Justice asked
if Virginia did not have a Supreme
Court.

Strong Efforts to Remove Rail-
way Congestion.
THE RESULTS ARE SMALL
Inquiries for Pig Iron Become More Urgent as
the Scarcity Grows More Acute---Ccke
Commands High Premiums, the
Need Exceeding Supply.
(By the Associated Press.) }

New York, Nov. 2S.-R. c. Dun &
Co.'s week review of trade tomorrow
will say:
weather conditions have provided the
only important developments of the past
week in the business world. Excessive
rains in some sections, notably the
Southwest. facilitated distribution of
heavy footwear, overshoes and kindred
lines, while seasonably low temperature
at other points increased the movement
of winter wearing apparel. These in
tluences, together with a large Thanks
giving trade in food products, stimulated
retail dealings very materially. Jobbing
and wholesale trade is fully maintained,
and manufacturing plants have orders
far ahead, but in many cases the coke
shortage retards operations. Railway
officials are making every effort to re-
lieve the freight congestion, especially
in the vicinity of Pittsburg, but thus
far there is little evidence of improve
ment. Gross earnings are fully main
tanned, for November thus far exceeding
last years by 6.3, and those of 1900 by
1874 per cont, while it is anticipated that
higher freight rates will offset the ad-
vance in wages, sustaining net earnings.
Inquiries for pig iron become more
urgent as the scarcity grows more acute.
Furnaces are added to the idle list when
this full occupation for every plant in
the country but the fuel shortage is not
perceptibly improved. Coke commands
high premiums according to the needs of
consumers, and iron is similarly held at
an abnormal position by the insufficient
supply. Even foreign pig iron has not
arrived at specified dates, while new
orders have been placed abroad covering
distant deliveries. 1t is fully apparent
that domestic needs will continue to eX-
ceed available supplies for many months
to come. There is still no inclination
to place large orders for distant delivery
of cotton goods, but steady current
demand fully absorbs the limited stocks
, and buyers are often compelled to hunt
for desired lines of staple cloths. Print
ed and woven patterned goods for
spring are selling freely on forward busi-
ness.

Never Materializ'.
Never Materializ'.
(By the Associated Press.)


London Nov. 28.-The Associated Press
learns that important steps were taken
in London today with view to satisfy
ing all the financial and diplomatic claims
by foreign powers and bondholders against
Venezuela. Tt is maintained that if the
contemplated action meets with approval,
Germany and Great Britain will have no
cause to take the vigorous steps now con-
tcmplated.
The details of the suggested settlement
have not been communicated to the Eu-
ropean governments as yet. Their gist
first will be made known to the United
States government. probably tomorrow
The medium of such communication is
one of the most important Anglo-Ameri-
can bankers. Venezuelas propositions
were mentioned to Ambassador Choate
today, but pending the result of the direct
representations at Washington no action
will be taken by the embassy towards
suggesting that Venezuela be given time
to submit her proposition.
The new development in the crisis,
which is regarded as hourly growing
more serious, is due to the arrival in Eu-
rope Of secret delegation from the Ven
eZuelan government empowered to deal
with the outstanding liabilities Of that
republic. Until suitable plan could be
arranged it was considered inadvisable
to communicate with the foreign minis
ters at Caracas, with whom relations be-
come so strained. Such plan has now.
in the belief of the delegation been ar
rived at and unoffcially, through the An
glo-American banker, the attitude of the
United States will be ascertained. Be-
sides the State Departments will be put
in position to be able to judge of the
value of Venezuela's offer and her good
faith in the matter.
The details of the plan which will be
communicated to the State Department
are carefully guarded, but the Asso-
ciated Press is in a position to announce
that the main feature is unification of
all the outstanding government and gov
ernment guaranteed loans upon a basis
of security much greater than has been
hitherto offered. 1t is strongly denied
that the present movement is due to any
desire on the part of Venezuela ito spar
for time" with Great Britain and Ger
many, and in proof of this it is pointed
out that the secret mission left Vene-
Zuela before her relations with Great
Britain and Germany had assumed the
present acute aspect.
Should the United States government
give its moral support, the plan will be
submitted to American bankers. The
Venezuelan delegation believes that it
is not too late to secure the necessary
facilities from Europe to bring about a
settlement satisfactory to all parties con-
cerned.
