The freight train was in charge of
Conductor Brubeck and Engineer Hale
and at the time of the accident was on
the return run from Lynchburg TO
Charlottesville. Rockfish station is mid
way between these two points, and the
track there is a single one. Engineer
Hale had orders to get out of the way
of the fast passenger train, but for
some reason which has not yet been

and had failed to take siding so that
the passenger train could pass. The
trains came together with horrible
crash, and fearful scene of panic en-
sued when the occupants of the cars
realized what had occurred.

SOLDIERS KILLED SEVEN.
Riotinp Mob CInsbed with soldiery.
with Fatal Results.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, July 7.-Seven
persons have been killed and twenty
wounded in a battle between rioters
and militia.
The mob lynched negro, and the
battle with the militia resulted
The lynching took place at Delaware
street and Second avenue. The police
were not strong enough to cope with
the mob.
The shooting was a natural climax of
Sunday nights riots and day spent in
nervous dread by the authorities. The
situation was regarded as menacing
when night fell, and the authorities
were in dread.
The Evansville company of the mill
tia has been assembled around the Jail
and is waiting there under arms.
The grand jury has indicted Lee
Brown, the negro who killed Patrol
man Massey. for murder in the first
degree. The general feeling of unrest
and uneasiness caused meeting Of
Mayor Covert. Sheriff Kratz and the
county officers. at which the grave sit
uation was discussed and plans made
to protect all citizens if another out
break is precipitated. All saloons in the
city were ordered closed at 9 o'clock.
The rioting has given place to few
comparatively quiet hours, which may
be due largely TO the fact that the town
is practically under martial law. A
company of state militia has arrived
from Terre ,Haute. After conferences
with responsible citizens Mayor Covert
has ordered all saloons closed.
Fred Happier aged fifteen years
who was shot by militiamen, is dead.

The Potato Bug.

he appears IN t0rce and VIII give Farmers
Trouble.
Last year the potato bugs appeared
in such greatly diminished numbers
that the farmers congratulated them.
selves upon the prospect of the early
total disappearance of the pest, but it
now appears that this hope is not to
be realized, for, as is learned, IN many
Of the farming districts, they have this
season appeared IN greater numbers
than ever before, and as a conse-
quence they are the scourge again of
potato growers. They are to be seen
in countless numbers in almost every
patch, and give the farmers much
trouble and work In preventing them
from totally destroying the growing
potato crops. Heretofore Paris green
has been in common use for destroy
ing the bugs, but it has been dis
covered that spirits of ammonia (hersh
horngeist as called in GERMANY is
quite as effective as a destructive
agency, and far preferable because OF
not being an active poison like Paris
green, and more easily to apply, as all
that is needed is a sprnkling pot.
The proportion of ammonia is two
spoonfuls to a gallon of water. The
new remedy is certainly worthy of a
trial.

RAILROAD RUMOR
One Good Reason for the Santa fe-
Rock Island Alliance.
GOULD WILL REACH THIS CITY.

Since the rumor published in The
Citizen of the Santa Fe-Rock Island
traffic alliance the same has been yeri-
fed, though disputed and criticised to
a considerable extent. The Citizen pub
fishes another rumor which it has
every reason to believe to be correct.
1t is that strained relations exist be.
tween the Rock Island and the FL Paso
Northeastern and that this was one of
the minor reasons for the recent alli-
ance between the two big roads. If
this rumor be true, after the building
of the Santa Fe cut off, the Rock Isl.
and's El Paso business will go over the
new cut off to Belen, the crossing of
the cut off and Rio Grande division Of
the Santa Fe, and thence to FL Paso
over this latter road.
This will be another ten strike for
the little town of Belen, as it will ne
cessitate a large amount of freight
transfer work at that point. IL will
also create better passenger train SER
vice between Albuquerque and El Paso.
But the most important sequence
this state of affairs may lead up to
and which is good news to New Mexico
and especially to albuquerque, is the
possible advent of the Gould lines. The

Phoenix, AriZ,, Feb. 4.--The legisla-

patch from Marcus Smith, delegate to
congress, who asserts that crisis has
been reached in the statehood struggle,
and that Senator Quay, fearing the
opposition will accept the extra ses-
sion rather than pass the omnibus bill,
advises acceptance of the plan pro-
posed by the oposition to admit Ari-

Smith is unreservedly opposed to this
compromise and the Arizona legisla-
ture has unanimously adopted resolu-
ton sustaining him in his opposition
to the consolidation of New Mexico and

TRAFFIC ASSOCIATIONS.
Trying to Devise Means for Adjusting
Correction Sheets.

New York, Feb. Representatives
OF all the traffic associations began a
joint conference in this city today to
devise means for adjusting correction
sheets between various lines in the
passenger business. At present, and
for long period, there has been great
need of some systematic arrangement
or plan that will obviate the necessity
for interminable correspondence grow.
ing out of efforts to reach a satisfac-
tory understanding and settlement of
claims among the roads.
These claims arise from unwilling
ness upon the part of some one or
more roads to accept the proportion
allowed by an issuing line in the di-
vision of a through rate. The latter
gets notice of this through the receipt
OF a correction sheet, and perhaps 1t
refuses TO make and change. More
often 1t declines to correct it's figures.
This is the beginning of an intermina-
Bile correspondence with no certainty
that the subject will ever reach a final
adjustment. II is believed that a less
cumbersome method can be found
that will readily facilitate and insure
prompt disposal of whatever coutro-
versy arises prevent friction that Of
ten is provoked and give less occasion
for irritation.
