4 Fearful Railroad Wreck.

Xenia, o., July 26. Seven persons
are killed, four Of them burned to
death, Hour missing and sixteen injured
by fearful wreck on the Pennsylya-
MIA road at Trebins, little hamlet
three miles west Of here. The Key
stone limited from ST. Louis to New
York, running at seventy-fve miles an
hour, dashed into wild fat ear load
ed with coal, tearing down the grade
toward it at the rate Of twenty-five
miles an hour. 81,
Che coal car was smashed to splAn-
:ters and the passenger engine denaol-
ished while the postal and express
cars were piled on top OF it IN a
prcmiscuous heap. Almost simul5a-
.neously with the first crash the gas
tanks under the cars exploded and set
fire to the ruins.
Five cars were burned. Passengers
were penned in the wrecks of Pull
mans, and four passengers we're burn
ed to death in the sight of men whc
fought hard to rescue them. A search
IS being made for the bodies of the
four missing passengers. A few
charred bones is everything found so far
to indicate other victims.

Dispute as TO Ownership of Marcus
Island Worrying Japan.

Washington, July 2s.-A cablegram
received today at the State department
from United States Minister Buck at
Toxic states that the japanese minis
ter of foreign affairs has informed him
that japanese naval vessel would
leave yesterday for Marcus island. The
purpose of her going is not to make
trouble. but to prevent it.
An official of the foreign Office was
to 90 on the vessel, and he would carry
a letter to Capt. Rosehill advising the
captain not to make any disturbance,
or to resort to violence to obtain pos
session of the island, with possible loss
of life and involving international
complications If the captain would
observe this advice the department. for
its part would endeavor to see settled
the deficient claim to Marcus island,
diplomatically.
Capt. Rosehill is reported to have
sailed from Honolulu for Marcns island
on July IL, and it it is therefore prob
abied that .he is already at Marcus ISL
and or very near there. In that case
it may be the letter will come into his
hands too late to avert trouble, but
the department officials are preparing
for the worst.

about o'clock in the rear OF Iupper2s

alarm was sounded and the citizens
turned out promptly to fight the fire,
but the supply of water had to be
drawn from wells in the vicinity and
the fire was too big to be fought with
buckets and this sort ,of a supply.
The FIRE soon got a great headway and
there was no stopping 1t until 1t had
spent its force.
The flames spread from the drug
store to bakery, then to q grocery, a
Chinese laundry, the Bell Telephone
Exchange and gradually worked It's
way on both sides of the avenue. A

WHERE is IEFFcOAT !?

There is considerable speculation as
to whether the desperate, Jefcoat, is
lurking about in the Congaree swamp
near Columbia or whether he managed
to get south on the Seaboard to the
coast section of Georgia. 1t seems
certain that he was chased nearly a
week ago into the swamp near this city
through which the Seaboard runs,
saws the State of the 29th and that
when he entered the swamp all trace
of him was lost.
The information that Jefcoat was
chased into the swamp reached the
governor Yesterday In the shape OF the.
following letter from Aiken:
Dear Sir: I have just returned from
Lexington county. traced Jefcoat
from the neighborhood OF Perry's IN
Aiken county to Dixianna in Lexlng-
ton county, about five or six miles
from Columbia. j lost track OF him
where he entered Congaree Creek
swamp. He and his brother, Dempsey
Jeffcoat. went into the swamp togeth-
er about a O'Clock Wednesday evening.
Since that time. I could get no trace
of Charlie, but traced Dempsey back
to his home near Hosey's Bridge,
Thursday. If I could have gotten
dogs Tuesday night, would have no
trouble in tracng hm, as [ followed

him. as they have good right to be,
and don't want to have anything to do
with trying to capture Inn. Yours
truly, j. FdSne d1,l
The amount of the rewards offered
for .Jeffcoat's capture is such that the
pursuit of him is sure to be keen. ana.
it does not seem likely, therefore, that
he will be many more days at Large.
According to The True Citizen these,
rewards foot up the handsome sum OF
5000 in Georgia alone, as, follows: Inc
widow of J. G. Flanders, whom ne.
killed. offers 5000 for his apprehen-
sion: Sheriff j. T. Flanders, a brother
of the murdered man, 5000, and friends
of the Flanders family $500 more:
This $500 is on deposit in the Cltlzens
bank Of Swainsboro, and IN ADDITION
there is reward of $500 by the gov
ernor of Georgia.
There is a reward of 500 offered by
the late Gov. Ellerbe standing for She
mans capture; Gov. McSweeney mas
offered sl00; and the Aiken authon-
ties 500.
There is therefore an aggregate re-
ward of 81, 200 for the capture of the
desperado.

lightful resort, as usual, is drawing
crowds Of health and pleasure seekers.
Already the hotel is crowded. With
a reputation almost national in its
scope the hotel each year brings new
people. Besides it is we'll establish
ed precedent that once visited it is
hard not to return, therefore there are
many familiar faces that are seen every

MAJOR GLENN DEFENDS HIMSELF
Against Charges of Cruelty to
the Filipinos.

Washington, July 2S.-Copies OF Ma
Mia papers received at the war depart
ment contain the defense Of Maj. Ed
win Glenn, who was tried by. court
martial or the charge Of having ad-
ministered the water cure to Filipino
natives. The particular case upon
which great stress was laid was that
OF the presdiente of Igbares. Glenn
acknowledged the act. but justified 1t
on the ground that he wanted the
information possessed by the presi-
dente, which he obtained by this wa
ter cure application. In the course
of his plea, which was quite long,
Mai. Glenn makes some startling as
sertions. He says:
ct found very soon after my arrival
in Panay that every mans hand was
against us: that every man, woman
and child in the Islands was an enemy
and in my best jugment they are today
and always will be-
He then continues:
Practically every presidente and
other official in these islands have been
playing double. They organized and
we're the active members of secret
society known as the Katipunan. etc.,
whose avowed objects were to advance
the cause of independence in any and
all ways. These men Of peace have
actually waged war by killing strag-
Cling. American soldiers. They have
made use of poison in the drinks
sold to American soldiers. They have
poisoned their arrows and the tips
of their spears and bolos, together
with the bamboo tips placed in the
deadly traps that abounded on the
trails. They have hired assasslns to
kill those who were even suspected OF
being friendly to the Americans and
have likewise endeavored to bave our
American officers assassinated. They
openly stated that they would gladly
sacrifice 20 natives for every American
officer assassinated. They employed
corps of assassins who spread death
and terror in their wake. -
Maj. Glenn then gives the details
leading up to the administration OF
the water cure to the presidente, the
facts of which were brought out IN
the senate Philippine Investigation.
He declares he " did no more than any
other man with good sense would have
done. I am convinced that my actions
resulted in Fastening the termination
of hostilities and resulted further in
avenging many human lives and di-
rectly injured no one. -

The Desperate, Ieffcoat, Has
Escaped.

Aiken, July 26.-Charles Wesner
.Jeffcoat, the horse thief and murder
er, after being chased by the sherifs
of three counties, is still at large.
Sheriff Owen Alderman, with his
posse of 10 men, returned to Aiken
late last night after a fruitless exped1-
ton in search of the desperate IN the
neighborhood of Wagner, in this
county. After a thorough search the
party failed to find Jefcoat's trail and
were compelled to return without
their man. 1t seemed to be the prevail.
ING impression among the members OF
the posse that Jefcoat crossed the
Edisto river after killing Deputy
Sheriff Curtis All on Tuesday and that
he is now in Georgia.
He has been reported as having oeen
seen at Mclean, Ca, THURSDAY even
ing, and the Georgia authorities are
now on the watch for the outlaw.
Jeffcoat, alias Charley Jonhnson, is
now thrice murderer and rewards
aggregating $1,000 are offered for his
capture,
The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier ia reference to
Jeffcoat's escape says:
Jeffcoat has been an outlaw and mas
been desired by the officers of the law
ever since early in Governor Elierbe, $
administration, when reward OF slo0
was offered for his arrest on the charge
of incendiarism.
One trouble now is that JeHcoat IS
evidently so desperate that be Will
hardly be arrested alive, and he Will
fight it cut to the bitter end: He is
charged now with three murders, and
he Will most likely have to be shot,
unless he can be caught unawares,
which is not probable. Most of the
rewards that are offered are for the
arrest and conviction. It would
not be difficult matter to convict
Jeffcoat if he could ever be brought
to Court, but it would be difficult to
collect reward for dead outlaw;
South Carolina is not wild and un-
settled county such as Oregon, and
the surprise is that. with such wide
awake and active officers as were after
Jeffcoat, he should have made good
his escape, and the most likely expla-
naticn offered is that he has friends
who are assisting him.
