CAUSES BIG LOSS.
Thousands cS Workers Idle and Many
Furnaces Closed Because of
Freight blockade.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE fol-
lowing figures tell better than words
the menace to industrial prosperity
caused by the freight blockade in the
Pittsburg district: Miners idle, 90
600; mill men idle, $4,000; furnace
workers idle, 5000; others idle, 90
OOO; daily loss in wages, $4,000. In
the Shenandoah and Mahoning val
leys and the Cleveland district there
were shut down Saturday % blast
furnaces. Miners are idle throughout
the Pittsburg district because enough
cars cannot be secured to keep them
going. An estimate of the number
of men SO thrown idle places the fig
ure at 10000, and at a time when the
output is sorely needed. Operators
are behind 100000 tons in ship
ments, with an estimated loss of 3d.
100000. Fully 1900 additional cars
are needed.

Great Loss of Life Reported by the
Recent Great Volcanic Erup-
ton In Guatemala.

New York, Nov. 17.-Astonishing
revelations of great loss of life and
property, caused by the eruption of
the Santa Maria volcano, are being
made daily, says a cablegram to the
Herald from Guatemala City under
date of November 8, transmitted by
way of San Salvador. Eruptions con-
tinue. Many hundreds of human be-
ings persisted and the destruction of
property is considered greater than
that in the island of Martinique by
the eruptions of Mont Pelee. All of
the estates in the neighborhood of
the volcano are buried under ashes,
which reach to the tops of houses.
The richest coffee estates are
ruined. The principal losers are the
large coffee planters, mostly United
States citizens and Germans. Two or
three new craters have been formed
on the side of the volcano. There
were no eruptions from the summit.
Pumice and ashes we're carried
chiefly in the southern and western
directions. The sea has coating of
volcanic material extending for many
miles.
The loss of the coffee crop, which
is Guatemala's principal export, has
demoralized commerce and the gov
eminent finances generally.

A CROSSING DISASTER.
Street Car Demolished by Train I'm
ChicagO-One Killed and Ten
Injured.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-One man was
killed and ten persons were injured
Sunday night in a collision between
an electric street car train and
broken freight train on the Chicago,
Burlington & 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
gates. The gates were lifted and a
Chicago Union Traction company's
electric ear, with trailer, was pass
ing over the tracks when 1t was
struck by the second section. Hugh
Curran, a 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 Hinman 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-
CINE, while seventeen ears 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. =. Hoffman, the
signal tender, who afterwards said
that in the darkness he did not see the
approaching second section. Conduc-
tor Langeford. when he saw the green
l1ght, 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.

HELD AS PRISONERS.
Seven White Men Are Said to BE De-
tanned by Indians on TiburOn
Island.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. Thames
McCuen, of Hermosillo, Mex, who is
now visiting friends in Los Angeles,

who went to the island ten years
ago and never returned, and Capt.
Porter, of San Diego, another of sew
eral persons who it was reported
were massacred and eaten by the In
