SECOND TRIAL SUCCESSFUL.
Cruiser Charleston More Satisfactory
With New Propelers.

Rocl;land. Ne, May 1.-The trial to-
day of the cruiser Charleston with her
new propellers of government pattern
was more successful than the previous
test and the trial board was well sat
isfed with the results. In Is runs over
the Rockland course she made the fast
est mile ut the rate Of PISA knots an
hour by uncorrected figures. The
maximum run at the first test Of the
propellers was at the rate Of about u 80
knots an hour. The contract speed of
90 knots was exceeded by Il fraction of
OF with the original propellers at the
builders acceptance trial. About til"
same number of revolutions We're re
united for the fast mile today as when
q higher rate of speed was attained.
but today the draft was . feet greater,
q different of IL tons displacement.
Except for the difference in draft. the
conditions today were more favora bic
than at any previous trial on the
course. The maximum tide was 8
knots, but very regular and there was
no wind.

The customs house in Valparaiso is reported to be burning. Several trav- elers who have just arrived here from Valparaiso say that reports of the sit uation in that city were exaggerated. An employee of the telegraph service sent word from Salto, near Valparaiso, confirming the news of the serious fires in the Almendral quarter. This employee also sent news that the Spanish-Italian bank building of Val paraiso was destroyed by the earth quake. .., ~
 A traveller who came here by ex- press train tells that when the train was near Las Vegas, about halfway between Valparaiso and Santiago, the cars were shaken violently, and the engine nearly left the track. A stop was made and the terrified passengers alighted. Later they proceeded to Llallai, which they found in almost total ruins. ,.@
 Ali lines of railway to the north and the line to Talca are greatly damaged.
 In the city of Santiago majority of the victims of the disaster were resi- dents of the poorer sections of the city, where many small houses were thrown to the ground. Several deaths from nervous excitement and heart disease are reported.

TRAIN KILLS SEVEN
Fast Freight Crashes In Work
 Cars at Sang Hollow, Pa.
RAIN BLINDED THE ENGINEER.
Couldn't See Obstruction Until Al- most on It, Then He Jumped and Will Die-AwfuI Scenes of
 HOrrOr.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Aug. 20.-Plung. ing through binding rainstorm at the rate of forty-fve miles an hour a fast freight train on the Pennsyl- vania railroad crashed into slowly moving work train at Sang Hollow, killing seven and seriously injuring seven others of the work train crew. Three of the latter will probably die.
 The work train had stopped at a water plug near Sang Hollow to take water. A Fort Wayne freight was following. and because of the driving rain the engineer was unable to see the work train until just before the crash. The engineer of the freight jumped and received injuries from which he will die. The fireman re- mained on the engine and was unin- jured. When the freight engine crashed into the work train it plowed it's way through the cars. All of the laborers and others of the work crew were asleep, and those that were kill ed probably never knew they were struck.
 The cries of the wounded, the burn ing cars, the overturned engines and the sound of escaping steam combined to make most horrible sight. The crew of the freight made an attempt to rescue the men from the cabin car. but owing to the fact that the doors were battered in on the wreck and the timbers were crushed so that entrance was impossible it was some hours be- fore it was found out how many were dead. Four men were dead when taken out. The others died after be- ing taken to a hospital.
 It is reported that four others are in dying condition. According to reports, Engineer 5. N. Woods of the freight train had increased the speed of his train just before the crash that he might take water from the water pans along the track and in so doing is said to have exceeded his orders. An investigation will be made, it is said. When news of the wreck reach ed this city two wrecks' crews were sent out. The conditions as described by members of these crews upon their arrival were appalling. Dead and dy- ing were lying on the tracks, while some of the injured were hanging out of tue windows of the cabin car cry ing for help and begging to be saved from fire that had started in the wreck.
