Cleveland, Ohio. Aug. 14.-A fast
eastbound passenger train on the
Nickel Plate road collided with west
bound freight at Kishman, Ohio near
Vermillion, resulting in the death If
u persons while at least rs others
were injured, eight of whom probably
will die. The wreck, according to the
officials of the company, was caused
by a misunderstanding of orders. or
neglect to obey them on the part Of
the crew of the freight train.
The Dead.
Charles W. Pool, engineer Of mas

Joseph Alexander, Newark, MI

Nine Italian laborers.
The injured include the following:

Aside from the engineer, the men
killed on the passenger train, were all

none escaped injury. Fortunately there
was no fire, but the heavy timbers
of the wrecked cars pinned down many
and prevented them getting out until
assistance arrived.
Doctors were sent on a special train
to the scene from Lorrine.
When the trains came together, al
most everybody in the smoker was
doing. The sudden jar hurled them
out of their seats into the aisle and
the roof and sides OF the car seemed
all at once to crush in like paper

The passengers in the second car were
more fortunate. There the violence Of
the impact was not so severe, though
few got off without cuts, bruises
sprains or broken bones. No passenI
gers in the sleepers were injured
The men on the train who escaped
injury worked hard to rescue the VIC
Tins and were aided by residents from
the vicinity of the wreck. Some Of tna
injured were placed in the sleeping
cars while others were removed Y

raE DEnAND FOR SILVER.

Since silver was demonetized the Re.
white metal would force the Federal
government in tune TO 20 into the
market 10 purchase enough silver to sup
ply the demand for subsidiary coins, q
demand felt, not only at home but III
the acquired Oriental possessions, say
the Mining and Engineering Review.
That this prediction was based ON q
knowledge of the law Of supply and de-
mand, has been demonstrated by a re-
port recently issued by United States
Secretary Shnw, in which he recon-
mends that the amount Of subsidiary
silvsr coinage be increased.
But, a. tho upply OF oliver, available
for coinage in the United Slater Treas
ury is, according to this report. little
more than 2,OoO,c06 ounces, rome steps
will have TO be taken sooD to insure
sufficient silver bullion Tor the unu.
sual coinage demand. The government
finds itself between The horns of a di.
lemma, and while tho financial interests
c! the country, which p~rotited so largely
q few years ago by the decentralization
of n OF the metsls, DO not caro- to adj
NIT it, there ls no doubt that a serious
mistake wa made.
But while the Federal government is
rsapinR the whirlvind, it ia not alto
gether a bad wind which blows no good
TO anyone, as silver miners are partak-
ing Of the profits which the enhanced
value Of silver has made possible. Ae
an instance OF the benefits accruinR to
silver miners, owing 10 the increasing
demand for the white money metal, we
might refer to a single camp, Tonopah,
Nevada. where the value Of the ore on
the dumps has increased in value more
than one third since it was first brought
to grass.
We are now awaiting legislative &C.
ton TO correct the ~paradoIicsl mistake
OF demonetizinR q money metal.
In the meantime, the growing demand
ia forcing the price OF silver up, and il
nothing interferes, as a commercial pro-
posltion the metal should reach It's nor
NAL or former value. The min ers of the
West will not complain.

OLE TEARS.

Senator John H. Mitchell, OF Oregon,
whose right name is Nipple, arose in the
Senate OF the United States yesterday
and defended himself from the charge OF
being implicated in gigantic land frauds.
According TO the Associated Press:
IMr. Mitchel's statement consumed
about three.quarters OF nj hour. To-
ward the close his voice was broken by
sobs and he was compelled to frequent.
ly dry his eyes with his handkerchief.
Many other Senators wore yisibly at.
iected. When the Senator concluded
there was a renewal Of hundshakinR
and assurances Of confidence on the part
Of Senators, while il was necessary for
the presiding sficer 10 use the gavel TO
suppress applause in the galleries.
When the reception terminated Mr..
Mitchell resumed his scat, but he soon
left the chamber"
Senator Mitchell evidently made a
worry pathetic and effective sprinklingpot
Of himself. 1t is sometimes touching
and tear. compelling 10 900 an old man in
tears. At the same time, although
Mitchell may be wronged in these land
fraud cases-which Is worry, very doubt
full, considering his history-there has
been nothing in his life that should pro.
Yoke the sympathy Of any man at all
acquainted with his career.
In plain English, John Ilipple
Mitchell has had a long and varied his.
tory ns a beast Of prey. He has all the
cnrnnl appetite OF the most degraded
Mormon without the eand Of tho Nor.
mon to openly defend and champion his
practices. He ruined a little schoolgirl
in Pennsylvania, and was subsequently
forced 10 marry her. He shameiully de.
serted that wIfo after che had borne him
three children and ran away with O
school teacher. And go forth and SO on.
Tears from such a man are Of the
crocodile order.
Instead OF trying 10 drive Smoui
out Of the United States Senate because
he is q Mormon, the good women Of this

The case arose out OF the sale oi a

Houston to San Antonio. The man Who
bought It died without using it. Fifteen
years later it was sold, and late in 1899
it vas offered to a Southern Pacific

it and the MAJ refusing 10 pay the fare,
