ELEVEN KILLED IN A WRECK.
Passenger and Freight Trains Come
Together Near Raymond.

Waterloo, June 20.-Eleven killed
and two injured is the result of wrong
reading Of orders by freight crew.
At 2:45 o'clock yesterday passenger
train No. on the Illinois Central col
lided head on into a freight one mile
west Of Raymond, the first station east
Of here. Had it not been for the make
up of the passenger train the death
list would have been appalling, as the
passenger was crowded with travel
ers. The Pullmans had been placed
In the center of the train, with the
coaches on behind. The weight of
the Pullmans counteracted the force of
the collision and steadied the train.
The list of dead: John r. Griffin, en-
gineer OF passenger; e. J. Bantz Of
Waterloo, fireman on passenger; Fred
Scoonan Of Waterloo, engineer of the
freight; J. c. Mills of Waterloo, fire.
man of the freight; E. r. Stickney,
brakeman of the freight, of Waterloo;
three tramps. unidentified; one immi-
grant, unidentified; Postal Clerk
Groom of Dubuque.
The accident took place upon a
curve. Neither engineer knew of the
approach of the other until the head
light Of the opposing engine popped
up in front with only ten feet apart.
The passenger was going at the rate
of fifty miles an hour, and inside of a
second both engines were fit only for
junk, and the lives of the engine
crews had been wiped out of exist
ence 1t was all due to the misread-
inp NJ orders nv the freight crew
They had no right to the track and
had just left Raymond, although they
should have remained until the pas
senger had passed.
The worst damage was done to the
freight train. there being seventeen
cars piled on top Of the other, with
the baggage car upon top Of the
bunch. Pieces of steel from the en-
CINE were hurled a distance of two
hundred feet, and the fact that none
of the passengers in the three sleep
ers were injured seems almost mirac-

attempt ON
| LIFE OF GAR
Matter Has Been Kept a Pro-
found Secret and Would
be Assassins Not Named.
THE REPORT is STARTLING
Claimed Members Of the Imperial
Family Would Look Calmly On
Such a Proceeding Report In
wolves the Czarina.

Berlin, June 22.-The attempt to-
assassinate the cZar of Russia, Just
made known, has revealed to all Eu-
rope that the ruler of Russia stands
in danger of sharing the fate of King
Alexander of Servia, and of his own
ancestor, Gear Paul, who was MUIR
dered more than century ago.
An even more startling report than
that of the attempted assassination
is contained in the leading review,
Die Lanationa, and is to the effect
that members of the Russian imperial
family look with equanimity on the
rulers danger. Some say the car
ina shares in this view. The malcon.
tents may deem it patriotic to muir.
der the car in his own palace. The
attempt upon the life of the car was
made at Tsarakee Selo, on the eve of
the departure of the count for the i'm.
perial villa at New Peterhoff.
The woUld-be assassin attempted to
gain admittance to the presence OF
the car in the uniform of a superior
officer of the gendarmeri.
An effort was made to hush up the
affair, because of the nervous condi-
ton of the car since the Belgrade
royal massacre. Nothing has yet been
made public, however as to the iden-
tity of the would-be assassin. The
most amazing report yet received,
however, is that the czarina shares in
tho general condemnation of her hus-
bands weakness and would view with
out great regret his assassination.
The amiability of the czarina's char
acter has long been known in Europe
and the report is not generally credi-
ted. Apparently the attempt on the
cars life has been kept a profound
secret from the public by himself.

CLEVELAND DOESN'T WANT IT.
Wants to Spend Remaining Days
With Family at Princeton.

With Family at Princeton.
New York, June 20-The World
publishes a dispatch from Princeton,
N. j., quoting Ex-President Cleveland
as saying:
1T is perfectly absurd to suppose
for an instant that have any desire
to re-enter public life. Nor have
remotely entertained the thought
since l left Washington, more than
six years ago. The matter is as far
from my thoughts as it was in 1896,
when, all must admit, it was not with
higher aspiration than to pass my
me, and take no part in politics which
any private citizen cannot take with
the utmost propriety.
Il have never spoken to anybody on
the subject of a fourth candidacy. l
have never written to a single politi-
cal friend one way or the other nor
have l been written to or spoken to
by them. There is not political
leader of any prominence endeavor-
ing to advance any movement to NOM
mate me in any state, so far as have
been advised, nor do l anticipate that
any such effort will be made by any
leader, prominent or obscure, in any
locality.
Il have on several occasions within
a year undertaken to perform the
labor which usually falls to the pri'
vate life in the ranks, but there has
not lurked within me the hope of any
reward save the consciousness of
having made an effort to assist in
bringing about salutary conditions in
the party"

PHINNEYS BAND WILL PLAY.
Aggregation of Musicians Which Has
Earned Fame in the East.


Des MoiEes, June 22.-Phinney's
United States band will fill an en-
gagement at the Midland Chautauqua
July 8. This simple announcement
will recall a flood of memories to the
music lovers of Des Moines, for it was
here that Professor Phinney organized
and brought to a large measure of
perfection the Iowa State Band. the
only musical organization engaged
throughout The continuance of the
worlds fair at Chicago.
Phinney's United States band is the
direct successor of the old Iowa State
band, and it is a worthy successor.
On the occasion of the appearance of
the United States band at the
Mechanics exposition in Boston last
year the Boston Journal said:
"Phinney and his band, direct from
Chicago. drew an audience that repre-
scented the musical culture of New
England. Mr.. Phinney received
generous reception as he appeared at
the conductors desk. The band, in
handsome uniform, made good all the
words of praise that have been pub
lished by the press of the great west,
and with the stamp Of approval which
the audience of yesterday endorsed.

TO INVESTIGATE PEoNAeE.
Judge Speer Orders Grand Jury to Go
to Bottom of the Matter.

Macon, Ga, June 19.-In the United
States court yesterday Judge Emory
speer, in his charge to the federal
grand jury, sprung a surprise. He
called attention to the fact that it
aad been charged tbst system of
peonage existed in certain parts of
he southern district of Georgia, in
,ontravention of the constitution of
hat state, which provides there shall
De no Imprisonment for debt" and
hat the constitution of the United
States provides neither slavery, nor
involuntary servitude, except as a
punishment for crime whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted,
shall exist in the United States OF any
place subject to its jurisdiction. He
called the attention of the jury to a
case presented to him; charged the
Jury to make .diligent inquiry and If
t found the statement true, it was it's
iuty to return an indictment against

WOMAN AS A GO BETWEEN.
Startling Feature of the Pcstoffice
Scandal.

Washington. June 19.-The federal
grand jury which has been Investigate
ing postal affairs, will bring in FIVE
indictments.
Although every effort has been
made to keep the public in ignorance
of the action to be taken until the
papers were ready for presentation by
the grand jury. it is learned on I'M
questioned authority that the jury has
voted to return indictments against
August w. Machen, Diller B. Croft,
Samuel A. Croft, George e. Lorenz
and Mrs. LorenZ, the two latter being
residents of Toledo, o. The specific
charges, it is understood, will be con-
spiracy to defraud the government.
The sensational feature Of the pro-
ceedings is the connection of Mrs.
Lorenz's name with the transactions,
which led to the arrest of Mr.. Machen
and the Groffs. At the time of the ar
rests stories were in circulation that
there was a go-between, but the in
formation at hand then was not con-
elusive enough to establish the ident-
ity of this particular party.
Whether or not Mrs. LorenZ acted
in this capacity is not known. but it
has been suggested that this go-be-
tween was a woman.

BIG DAY FOR cLEaMoNr.
Lincoln Monument Presented and
Henderson Statue Dedicated.

Clermont, June 20.-In the little
town Of Clermont, marked o=ly as the
home of Former Governor Larrabee,
yesterday over 5000 people assembled
in recognition of the reunion of the
Twelfth Iowa regiment, the presenta-
ton of the Lincoln monument and the
unwilling and dedication of the mag
nificent bronze statue of Hon. d. B.
Henderson, both works of art being
the gift of Hon. William Larrabee.
While the presentation of the Lin
coin monument and the address by
Mr.. Larrabee was attended by an
unusual amount of interest, it was the
magnificent bronze statue of Col. Hen
derson toward which the eyes of the
comrades of the Twelfth Iowa turned.
The ceremony was most impressive.
AS the folds were released by Miss
Helen Larrabee, the youngest child
the magnificent work of art, there
were none present who failed to catch
the solemnity of the occasion, while
Col. Henderson, at the base, allowed
his tears to fall unrestrained.
Upon the statue were draped two
flags, one the flag which led his COM
pany into the engagement in which
Col. Henderson lost his leg, and which
is still dyed in the blood of Lieut..
Cole, who lost his life there. The
other, flag made and presented by
Miss Sorens, then preceptress of Up
per Iowa university, and whose pres.
entation speech was most effectively
read by Miss Beulah Wright, of U.
!. u.
Another pleasing feature was the
satln song by Mrs. Chas. d. Neff, Of
Upper Iowa University, sung from the
same score used at the presentation OF
the flag, when the hoary heads now
bowed with age, were the brave and
gallant boys who enlisted in their
country's cause from old Upper Iowa
university. Some of these boys came
from far-off states, but they were
nearly all there, $50 of them, who
looked at and listened to Col. Hender.
son with rnconcealed admiration and
it was they who occupied seats Of
honor and cheered, laughed and cried
with every word of their beloved
Dave.
Senator Dolliver made the leading
address of the day and this was re-
sponded to by Col. Henderson. Among
those of note who were upon the
platform were Hon. and Mrs LARA

amendments have been amendments
of mere mechanism, or have been

THE PICKET WINS
Kentucky Colt Captures American
Derby From Bio Field.

Derby From Big Field.
Chicago, June 22.-The Picket,
horse that never before flashed first
past the post, won the American der
by. He set the pace every step of
the distance, was never challenged
and won in a gallop by six lengths.
He ran the derby distance, mile and
a half faster than it was ever run
before in that race. His time was
2:33. Claude, the winner Of three
derbies, was second. Bernays, the
Cincinnati candidate, was third.
1t was q race without the thrill of
an exciting finish. The crowd of TO-
900 people which witnessed the six
teenth running of the event, saw a
contest that was decided when the
field turned into the stretch. In front
of struggling field The Picket ran
so easily and truly as to leave no
doubt where he would finish.
The derby was record breaking
turf event in more than the fast time
that was made. Nineteen horses
went to the post, the largest prev
ious field being fifteen. The largest
crowd that ever gathered on west
ern race track covered the Washing
ton park grounds. The race worth
S32,275 gross value, the richest in the
history Of the race with one exceD-
ton. Betting on the result began in
March and continued until the horses
went to the post. More money, II is
asserted, was wagered on the derby
than on any other race ever run IN
America.
