PEOPLE KILLED
DISASTROUS WRECK OCCURS ON
AN ELEVATED RAILROAD IN
NEW YORK CITY.

New York, Sept. 12.-The death list
Of the accident on the Ninth avenue
elevated railroad, when a car crowded
with early morning workers on their
way downtown pitched headlong into
the street, stands at twelve. Three
men are in hospitals with fractured
skulls. One of these, who as yet re-
main unidentified at Roosevelt hos
piral, is unconscious and not expected
to live. More than two score of per-
sons were injured, many of them Sc
%riously.
Whatever may have caused the mis-
take, the accident, the worst in the
history of the overhead railroads in
New York, came when a southbound
train on the Ninth avenue line was
switched off to the Sixth avenue line
at the Fifty-third street junction. The
motorman, expecting a clear track on
the direct line Of Ninth avenue, or
disregarding the warning signal that
the switch was open, rushed his train
along at a high rate of speed. The
first car swung around the right angle
curve, holding to the rails because of
the weight of the train behind. Then
the strain became too great. The
couplings broke, the second car was
whirled above almost end for end,
and TO the horror Of those who looked
on from below pitched into the street.

CAUCASUS.

Eaku, Caucasia, Sept. s.-The sit
uation here shows no signs of amelio-
ration. 1t could hardly be worse.
The terror-stricken inhabitants are
fleeing from the city, knowing the
garrison is inadequate to protect them
and although outbreaks have not yet
occurred in Baku itself, none can say
how close disorder is.
The principal fighting is not in Baku
itself, but at Balakhan, where hun
dreds have been shot by the infantry
and artillery and where 1000 were
killed or wounded during a desperate
attack on the military camp and pro-
vision depots.
a large number of workmen barri-
caded themselves in the Balakhan hos
pital. The soldiers began the attack
with rifle fire and then stormed the
hospital and completed their work
with the bayonet.
The entire Oil and commercial
quarters of Shabonshani, Nolani and
Balakhan have been wiped out by fire
and the inhabitants remaining behind
were massacred and thrown into the
flames. Bibitenta continues to burn
and is threatened with the same fate
as Balakhan.

REBELS IMPORT ARMS
RUSSIANS WORRIED OVER THE
DISCOVERY OF SOME RIFLES
IN FINLAND.

Helsingfors, Finland, Sept. 12.-Cus.
toms officials on Saturday discovered
$50 carbines of Swedish manufacture
with bayonets and 12O, 900 cartridges
on a barren island in the Gulf of
Bothnia near Kerni. On Sunday
morning a boat belonging to the Gus
toms service discovered a 500-ton
steamer near Kalfskaer rock, twenty
miles outside %Jakobstad. The captain
and members of the crew, who spoke
in English, declared that the steamer
was fully loaded with rifles and
cartridges and %thereupon the customs
officials ordered the captain to take
his vessel into port and discharge the
cargo. The steamer proceeded to-
ward the shore, the customs boat 60
ing in the meanwhile toward a near
by island. Suddenly several explo-
sions were heard from the steamer
and the customs officers on returning
found the vessel sinking and her
crew in life boats disappearing hur-
riedly toward the south. The officers
Immediately pressed into service a
number of fishermen, who unloaded
most of the ammunition on the boat.

NELSON DEFEATS JIMMY BRITT.
CALIFORNIA; Greatest Little Fighter
Beaten by the Dane.

Colma, Cal, Sept. 11.-Battling Mel
son defeated Jimmy Britt al the Col
ma Athletic club, after eighteen
rounds of the tiercest fighting ever
witnessed on the Pacific coast.
1t undoubtedly was the greatest
lightweight battle of the decade. So
desperately did the men fight that
both were covered with gore early
tn the battle, while $4,000 spectators
went wild owe the fierce mix.ups and
exchanges.
For Il rounds it was ham
mer and tongs, with Britt having the
better of the fight until the end.
Britt opened the eighteenth round
by jabbing Nelson in the face and fol-
lowed it with right and left to the
same spot. They mixed it up, when
suddenly Nelson whipped a terrific
right TO Britt's jaw and the latter
went down like a log. The blood was
streaming from his nose and mouth
as he made a feeble effort to rise,
but he slowly sank back, and Referee
Graney counted him out, while Mel
son stood a few feet away waiting for
the gritty little California fighter to
regain his feet.

North Dakota's Display.

North Dakota had a fine exhibit Of
its agricultural products in Agricul-
tural hall at the Minnesota state fair.
1t was of a more permanent character
and better arranged than the ordinary
exhibits, and will be taken to fairs in
Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. A
number of state officials accompanied
the display, among them W. S. Gil
breath, commissioner of agriculture,
and r. F. Flint, assistant dairy COM
missioner. Corn, which is not sup
posed to thrive in the tiickertail state,
was shown twelve and a half feet
high. This was raised at the reform
school at Mandan and compared ia
vorably. with corn from other states.
The millet was unusually fine. The
flax is said to be the finest ever
shown. Wheat, however, is king in
North Dakota, and there was a be-
wildering number of varieties.

Will Not Interfere.

From what can be learned unofficial
ly, the department of justice, in the
federal legislation governing or regu-
lating the inspection of grain, will not
interfere in the fight that is in prog
ress between the states of Minnesota
and North Dakota relative to the
validity Of grain inspection at Mime
sofas terminals. Attorney General
Moody has referred the case to one of
his assistants to look into, and a re-
ply will soon be made to the COM
planning parties, headed by State
Senator Young OF North Dakota. It is
further understood that the North Da-
kota compliments do not expect my
relief from the department of Justice.

several OF whom were injured by fly
ing glass. Opposite the powder works
the tracks of the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio railroads were de-
stroyed. For a mile around Fair
