 tance Reached Scene-Two
 Cars Were Damaged. <.

About eighty bales of cotton and. badly damaged coal car was the result of a fire in the Louisville and Nashville Railroad yards at o'clock yesterday morning.
 Standing on bulk track in the north end of the yards near Riverside ParK were two Louisville and Nashville cars loaded with cotton, a gondola or coal car and a box car. The cotton Is supposed to have caught fire from the sparks Of a passing locomotive, and the fire had gained such headway that all efforts to extinguish 1t were futile. the cotton being almost a total loss The box car was not damaged much but the gondola was badly burned.
 The Fire Department responded to a tel ephone call, but 1t was impossible for the engines and trucks to reach the scene.
 At 4:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon the Fire Department was called by a false alarm to a one-story house at the corner of Monroe and Decatur Streets. The alarm was caused by pouring oil in a stove. No damage was done.

IN DENSE FOG CARS COLLIDE Serious Accident on Hall
 Street. SEVERAL MEN WERE HURT Outgoing and Incoming Cars
 Crash Together. vsstibulss and Patterns Were De- molishsd and Two Motormen, Painfully Injured, Were Re-
 moved From the Debris.
SEVERAL MEN WERE HURT

Tn the dense fog which prevailed early yesterday morning two cars of the Mont gomery Street Railway came together with destructive result on Hall, between Adams and High streets. Every person on the two cars was more or less in- 5ured. = :.
 The motormen suffered most. J. D. Blocker. one of the motormen. received serious injuries which will confine him to the hospital for several weeks. Motor man H. N. Pollard, of the other car. was badly cut and bruised.
 The accident occurred at 7:to a. m. At that time one of the heaviest fogs Pedestrians were able to see only a short distance from them. Car No. 46. a High land avenue car, in charge of Motorman Blocker and Conductor Wright, was go- ing from town to Highland Park, while car No. lS, an Oak Park car. in charge of Motorman Pollard and Conductor Mer- iwether. was coming to the city. One of the cars supposedly the outgoing car. was running at 8 rapid rate of speed. Neither of the notofmen saw the car in front of them until a few moments before the crash. They had only time enough to make a few futile efforts to stop the cars before they came together.
 The cars struck each other with ter rife force. The vestibules and platforms of both cars were practically demolished. Car No 46 was the worst damaged. Motorman Blocker had his right ankle dislocated; and he sustained several cuts. one of them being a deep cut under the chin and another. a painful wound in the leg. |. He was fcarried to St. Margaret's Hospital, where 1t was said his wounds were painful. but not serious.
 l Motorman Pollard sustained a cut oi the iear.s another cut in the hand and . 4 e.. TKA ried to his home on Moulton street. His l hurts are not serious. ......
 Conductor sMeriwether. Car Inspector c w. Arberry,. w. T! Stuckey and w. H Carney, who were passengers on the cars suffered silght injuries in being throwr about the car from the force of the c,l lision and inc flying glass.
 r It is understood that the Oak Park
 car was esming to the city at slow
 a passenger a. few minutes before the
 accident, On the other hand 1t is sait | that the outgoing car was travelling al a good rate of speed There is on 1T I
 street a pronounced grade. and the out
 going car was running down this grade when it struck the Incoming car.
 Secretary J. T. Darling of the Mont
 gomery Street Railway. said yesterday
 that the blame for the accident had no I.yet been fixed The two notormen, h.
 said. had been so injured that they hat not been able to make an official state lement ito the officials of the company The blame for the collision will be placed
 on one or the other.
 The badly damaged cars were towec
 back te- the~harns.
 The escape of the two motormen who l,stood within, the yestibules seems won lSierfulx Tie damage, however. did not
 extend beyond the platforms and vesti I'bulee. 2 < z fts " v tA'! r4ra e "r- s

STEAMERS CRASH IN GALE SPLIT IN BRITISH CABINET
The Liban, With MANY Passengers
Aboard, Sunk Near MarseiIIes.
MEN FIGHT WOMEN IN THE SEA

Scenes Such as Attended the Bourgogne
Disaster Responsible For Much Loss
Of Life-The Accident Declared 10 BE
Inexcusable-The Lost Vessel Bound
For Corsica " hen Struck by Sister Ship
Marseilles, France.-A terrible ship
ping disaster occurred at little dis
tance from this port when two passen.
ger steamers, the Insulaire and the Ii
ban, both belonging to the Fra:ssinit
Steamship Company, of Marseilles'
came into collision. The Liban sank
and over 100 Of her passengers and
crew perished.
The Insulaire, which brought the
news, had saved half dozen Of those
who were not sucked down in the
wreck, but 1t was a beggarly showing.
There is fierce denunciation Of oth-
GERS and crew, and from the stories
told it would seem as If every one lost
his head just as in the catastrophe at
tending the loss of the Bourgogne,
when men passengers and crew at
tackled women and children, and with
insensate fury drove them away from
lifeboats and rafts.
The accident was inexcusable. There
was q gale blowing and the seas were
high. Both boats were laboring heav-
lily, but there was no reason why they
should have come together.
The Insulaire cut huge hole in the
side Of the Liban, through which the
water poured in q food, and her de-
struction was a matter Of moments
only.
AS the Liban heeled over there was q
mad struggle on board the vessel. The
men Seemed to lose the last vestise of
humanity, and attacked the women
and children like demons, throwing
them down, and in some instances
fairly stamping on them, as they
forced their way to the boats.
Their cowardice was Ill repaid, for
before they could get the lifeboats
lowered the steamer began to roll
wildly, and, amid the frightened
screams and cries Of all on board, she
went down, drawing with her few
who had jumped overheard and were
trying to swim toward the other
steamer.
There was a panic also on board the
Insulaire, but it quieted down when
it was found that the boat was not In
danger Of sinking. After a long delay
the lifeboats were lowered, but the
crews were awkward and badly
trained. They succeeded only In pick
ing up one or two Of those who were
floating about clinging to bits of
wreckage.

A LYNcHINc IN ILLINOIS.
Negro Teacher Hanged For q While and
Then Thrown Into q Fire.

Belleville, Ill.-W. T. Wyatt, a COL
ored school teacher, was lynched here
for shooting County School Superinten-
dent Charles Hertel, of st. Clair Coun-
ty. Hertel had refused to renew the
teaching certificate Of Wyatt and was
fatally shot as he sat in his Office with
out any warning. Wyatt was arrested
after a struggle with the police and
taken to Jail.
When the news of theshooting spread
about q mob gathered at the Jail.
Sheriff Thompson, aided by twenty
policemen ar / the Fire Department,
held the mob at bay for more than
two hours, when they were over
whelmed by sheer force of numbers.
The mob, with the use Of sledge ham,
mers, broke into Wyatt's cell and
dragged him to telephone pole In the
public square. A moose was hastily
adjusted around his neck and the long
rope thrown over the cross-arm of q
telephone pole. Without delay Wyatt
was jerked into the air, his body turn
ing and twisting hardly above the
heads of the crowd.
Even while his body was jerking in
Tue CQrOSS Ol uSdtu lIuu lue SllduS u
lation members Of the mob began
building fire at the foot of the pole.
The flames flared up and licked at the
foot of the victim. but this did not sat
isfy the mob, and another and larger
fire was started.
When it had begun burning briskly
the negro. still half alive. was cut
down. and after being covered with
coal oil he was cast into the fire.
Means of pain were heard from the
half-dead victim Of the mob, and these
served further to infuriate his tortur-
ers.
They fell upon him with clubs and
knives and cut and beat the burning
body almost to pieces, and not until
every sign Of life had departed did
they desist and permit the flames to
devour the body.
Feeling still runs high against the
negroes. Many negroes had been
warned to leave the city and scores Of
them have gone to st. Louis.
