Passengers Were Lucky.

That passenger train loaded with
passengers going at a speed of forty
miles an hour could take a tumble
down thirty-foot embankment and
no one receive fatal injuries seems
preposterous, but such did occur on
the Iron Mountain several days ago.
The train was south bound, and at a
point twelve miles nortn of Prescott
the tender of the engine jumped the
track and threw the entire train with
the exception of three sleepers, down
the steep embankment There were
eight coaches wrecked, including two
mail cars. baggage, express, colored
coach, diner and one sleeper The
embankment down whicn they roll
ed was soft dirt, and the coaches re-
mained unbroken. The train was
running about forty miles an hour,
and when the engineer discovered
the tender OFF the track his first inn
pulse was to clear a trestle bridge
forty feet high, which he was just ap-
preaching. and into which the train
seemed doomed to fall In this at
tempt he was successful, as the
wrecked sleeper lay Immediately
across the bridge wnen the train
stopped. A Mr.. Kuhn of st. Louis
was the only passenger seriously in
jured.

10 EXHIBIT LINCOLN CAR.
Was Used to Convey Remains of the
Martyred Prcsident-WiIl be Ex-
hibited at St. Louis Exposition.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 5.-The famous
lincoln car, which has been in the
possession of the Union Pacific rail-
road for 81 years, was sold, Tuesday,
TO private parties, who will exhibit it
at the st. Louis exposition. For many
years the car has stood on a siding in
the Union Pacific yards in Omaha

attention. 1t was part of the railroad
exhibit at the Chicago and Omaha ex-
positions The car was built at the
military car shops at Alexandria Va,
N 1864, and was ironclad, armor being
set between the inner and outer walls.

IN HONOR OF M'KINLEY.
Hawaii Citizens Pan to Erect n Me-
mortal Light House in Honor
of Deceased President.

Honolulu, Aug 5.-The proposal to
establish a public park in or near the
city as memorial to the late Presi-
dent Mckinley will probably be aban-
doned. Instead of this tribute TO the
chief executive, during who's admins
tration the people of Hawaii became
citizens of the United States, it is now
planned to erect Mckinley memorial
lighthouse at the entrance of Honolulu
harbor. This would be a prominent
situation from bota land and sea, be-
sides being of great practical utility.
This project meets with much favor
and is likely to be carried into effect.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Corn shows Some improvements
Whent.-Where Threshcd. shows
Disappointing Yields.

Washington, Aug 5.-The weather
bureaus weekly crop bulletin says:
Corn is greatly improved, especially
in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and por-
tons of Illinois, the least favorable
reports being received from Missouri
continues late. An excellent crop Is
now assured in the southern states.
Threshing of winter wheat has contin-
ued under favorable conditions. harv-
esting having been finished. except in
portions of New York and Michigan
and on the Pacific coast, with disap-
pointing yields. General rains in the
spring wheat region of the upper Mis-
souri, and Red river of the north VAL
leys checked the ripening of spring
wheat and caused better filing of the
heads. Harvesting is in progress, some
of the early southwestern being cut in
the northern portion, but was delayed
by rains in South Dakota and Nebras-
ka. Harvesting is also in progress in
Oregon, with light yield, but of ex-
cellent quality. In Washington the
crop is maturing slowly, but is filing
well. Rust in oats is quite extensive
ly reported in Iowa, Minnesota, Wis
consin and portions of Pennsylvania,
but late rains have benefited the crop
in Minnesota Harvesting is well ad-
vanced in the more northerly sections,
being largely completed elsewhere,
with yields generally lighter than an
ticipated. The improvement in cotton
continues general throughout the cot
ton belt. Some plowing for fall seed
ing has been done in Oklahoma and
Missouri

third trial of former Secretary of State
Caleb Powers is "Tallow Dick" Combs,

Goebel murder. 1t is thought that he
will contradict Henry f. Youtsey, who
is serving life sentence and a witness
for the prosecution.

dayits for a continuance, supported by
plea in abatement to so behind the
records of the legislature that unseated
W. S. Taylor as governor and other
state officers in favor of Goebel and
others as it was on his authority that
the court of appeals held the advance
pardon of Powers by Taylor to be ef-
back of legislative records the defense
could show the pardon to be good.
Court Snstnins Objection.

the rejection could be noted fully and
the court consented. The defense was
allowed TO supplement its plea with
the affidavit OF an additional witness.

ance was again taken up and discussed.

10 the defendant to force him into trial
without his being permitted to secure
his witnesses. The court overruled the
motion for a continuance, and allowed
the admission of depositions of absent
witnesses except in the cases of Will
lam Sweeney and John Sweeny, Jr.,
who had been summoned. In these in
stances the court held that due dill
Sence was not used in that the names
of the parties could have been pro-
cured

200 men from Bourbon county to quail
this morning and 100 on Thursday.

the officers instructed to summon men
OF both political parties, but Judge

such power Court then adjourned.
