A CROSSING DISASTER.
Street Car Demolished by n Train In
ChicnEo-One Killed and Ten
Injured.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-One man was
killed and ten persons were injured
Sunday night in collision between
an electric street car train and a
broken freight train on the Chicago,
Burlington g. Quincy railroad. The
accident occurred at Western av-
enue, near Eighteenth street. A
freight train, with an engine at
either end, one pulling and the other
pushing, broke in two. The first
section passed the Western avenue
crossing under the protection of the
gates. The gates were lifted and a
Chicago Union Traction company's
electric car, with trailer, was pass
ing over the tracks when it was
struck by the second section. Hugh
Curran, passenger on the street
car, was killed. OF the ten injured,
five were members of one family,
man, wife and three children. All of
the injured will recover.
The crew of the electric car, together
with Thomas Melville, the man in
charge of the gates at the crossing,
were taken to the Human street police
station. The electric train crew were
soon released after they had made
their statement concerning the acct
dent.
The train was west-bound and
shortly before reaching Western
avenue a coupling broke. Brakeman
on the front part Of the train failed,
it is said, to notice the break. Twenty
five cars went ahead with the first en-
gine, while seventeen cars were pushed
along at slower rate by an engine in
the rear. The first section passed
over the Western avenue crossing.
Gateman Melville, lowered the gates
and while the section was passing the
electric train, north bound, drew up to
the south end of the crossing. When
the first section passed Melville lifted
the gates, a green light waved in the
darkness ahead and Gayle, the motor
man. started up his train. The green
light was waved by L. z. Hoffman. the
signal tender, who afterwards said
that in the darkness he did not see he
approaching second section. Conduc-
tor LangetOrd. when he saw the green
light. gave the signal, and swung
aboard the rear platform.
The electric train was partly over
the crossing when Hoffman, the sig
nal tender, saw the dark shadow of
the broken end of the freight train
looming up. He realized the danger
and shouted to Gayle: "For Gods
sake, come on, come ont" Gayle
heard the shout of warning and
pushed the lever around to the high
est notch. The train darted ahead,
but the end of the first box car
struck the rear vestibule of the mo-
tor car, and glancing off toward the
trailer, swung it around. The truck of
the trailer became fastened to the box
car and was dragged for hundred
feet before the section of the freight
train was brought to stop.

GETS NO BEAR.
sisNippi Hunting Grounds
Empty Handed.

Smedes, Miss, Nov. 19.-President
RooseNelt's bear hunt in Mississippi
is ended, and he has not had even a
shot at bear. The last day of the
chase was simply a repetition of the
three preceding days, so far as his
luck was concerned. Try as the hunt
ers would they could not get bear
within range Of the presidents rifle.
The dogs got a fresh trail early in the
morning and the president and Holt
Collier followed it half a dozen miles
to the Big Suntlower river. The bear
crossed Il mile below the ford, they
went too, and believing he was making
for the cane brake on the other side
they endeavored to head it Off. When
they got into the brake, however, they
were Disguised to find that the bear
had doubled on his track and crossed
the river further down. 1t was then
one O'Clock and as an arrangement
had been made to break camp at $3.50
the president was reluctantly COM
PEELED to abandon further pursuit Of
the elusive quarry.
Although the president has failed
to kill bear on this expedition he has
enjoyed his outing and speaks in high
praise of the hospitality that has been
accorded him. He philosophically at
tributed his i'll fortune to the tradi-
tional hunters luck and says the next
time he goes after bear he will arrange
to stay long enough for the luck to
change.
The breaking up of camp was an in
teresting proceeding. The camp out
fit was loaded into six mule wagons, the
beds and sides of which were formed
of the boards used for the table and
tent floors. When all was in readiness
the president and the members of the
party mounted their horses and rode
into Smetles, leaving the wagons to fol-
low. The president is a hard rider
and the pace was rapid in spite of the
bad trails. Nhe distance. which is
fully ~ miles, was covered in less
than an hour.
Upon the presidents arrival here he
found fully 500 people, practically all
tHc ucSlt'CS lIoul luc surrounding
plantations. assembled to greet him.
He thanked them for their demonst ra-
tions, but made no remarks. They
waited around his car on the siding
until dark. hoping he would make q
speech.
Mr.. Fish gave a dinner in his private
car to the president and members of
his party. AT $50 the special train
started for Memphis, having added the
record of u presidential bear hunt to
the fame OF Smcdes, which first be-
came known to the out sidc world
through the story that here the ex-
pertinent of teaching monkeys to pick
cotton was to be tried.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Before Secre-

he had a long conference On the SUBJ

ports from Cuba are TO the effect that
the Cubans are divided on the ques-
ton OF reciprocity. especially as re-
CARDS the concessions demanded and
offered. The Cuban senate is report
ed to be favorable to the treaty as Of
fered with few minor changes, and
there is no doubt expressed that the
senate will accept the treaty when it
is amended by Gen. Bliss, who has gone
to Havana. There is trouble in
Cuban house, which seems to be in
clined to act Independently of the
United States.
Gen. Bliss will present definite prop
ositions from this government. He
will state the extreme concessions
which the United States will grant,
which is 20 per cent. on Cuban prod
ucts, and also will give the Cubans the
lowest possible rates of concessions
which this country will demand of
Cuba. 1t is expected that Gen. Bliss
will endeavor to close up the negotia-
tions speedily and that after his prop
ositions are made but very short
time will be allowed the Cubans to
reply before the negotiations will ter

ment is that there has been too much

Washington, Nov. II. - Relations
