ONE KILLED, FORTY HURT IN COLLISION Fast Southbound Katy" Passenger Train Crashes Into Freight Engine Near Dallas, Texas.
RELIEF FOR INJURED
Wrecking Train Carried Neither Sur geOnS Nor Medicine-And Some oi the Wounded May Dit-Iniured Complain.

Dallas. Tex. Oct. 2S,-The Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas southbound passenger train No. POT, heavily load ed with passengers, coming to visit the Texas State Fair, collided with a freight engine while running at full speed, seven miles north of Dal- las yesterday morning. Fireman r. c. French of Denison, was instantly killed and 40 or more persons were injured, some of whom it. is thought will not recover.
 Both of the engines were practical ly demolished. The baggage car was shot upon the tender, the trucks of all the coaches were turned almost completely around, the ends of three of them were stove in and the first two coaches were telescoped. The passenger engine hit the freight en- zine with such force as to carry it back on the down grade for con- siderable distance.
 A ICllCA lIdAA ao AA1aAC op oe 1oA las and hurried to the scene of the wreck. arriving there about two hours after its occurrence. This train, however, carried no physicians Or sur- geons and no medicine or bandases for the injured It was o'clock when it reached Dallas and passen- gers complain that it was an inter minably long time before the ambu- lances arrived to carry the injured to the hospitals
 Doctors Ebert Dunlap and W. R. Allen, the company's surgeons, were at the depot when the train arrived. The most seriously injured were hur- ried in cabs and ambulances to St. Pauls sanitarium under care of Dr.. Dunlap, and Dr. Allen remained at the depot and dressed the wounds of some of the others who seemed to need immediate attention. At the hos pital, Drs, Dunlap and Allen were as sisted by Dr. Hacker and Dr. Pierre Wilson in caring for the wounded.

On Saturday last, through the cour- tesv of MT. and Mrs. D. A. Kendall, a party of friends enjoyed a day i'll the woods at camp No. of the Sawyer X Austin Lumber Co. The camp is in Grant county The train left the city at a. III. and arrived at the camp at noon. The first station was Doyles- town. then Vick's, then on to the company's commissary, where there was a stop of 30 minutes. Mr. and Mrs. Clark were the host and hostess and told their guests to help them selves to fruits, candies, gum, etc.

Mamma, they gave us hand kerchiefs looking glasses and even talcum powder The dining cars and stables were visited, and only wish we could do justice to the fine accom- mGdations they have. A large dining car. built especially for the camps ol this company has a table in the cen ter with covers for forty-two. The plates. cups. knives and forks were of good quality and so clean and in yiting it looked as if We could well understand why their employees like their work and are so loyal to their employees. We saw the loader pick up logs and lay them carefully on the flat cars with as much precision as human hands.

fore l.. E. Moseley. United States commissioner charging that 0. E. Crittenden of Greenyille had arrested the affiant i'll Greenyille and returned him to a condition of peonage on ths
 Sunnyside plantation, in Arkansas. He said he had been to Jackson giy- ing the matter attention: that no wit nesses were there, and the hearing had been postponed to suit the con- 1enience Of counsel, MT. Crittenden being placed under small bond for his appearance.
 MT. Percy further said There is no peonage in Sunnyside and no merit whatever in the charge. Il was made at the instance Of Mrs Mary Grace Quackenboss, woman lawyer sent to investigate labor conditions in the South by the attorney-general' s office, and is doubtless due to her displeas- ure at my forbidding her and her en- ployes going upon the Sunnyside plantation, though this was only done after every courtesy had been extend ed to her, and every facility for mak- ing thorough investigation of the condition of the colony afforded her But when the investigation had been completed and a report of it made to the attorney-general's office and to the Italian government, she and her two Or three Italian employees per sisted in visiting upon the property over the objection of the owner, and when I fonnd that they were inter fering with and demoralizing labor both white and black, l notified her that their remaining upon the pro- |perty would be treated as trespass.
 This she resented, and this is the foundation of the peonage case. I had to choose between offending the lady or having the labor upon the property completely demoralized and I chose the former alternative
 "Sunnyside is the largest and most prosperous Italian colony in the South. and the colony was never more thrifty than it is now, but this does not suit Mrs. Quachenboss. Her mission is not to find prosperity. but to exploit poverty.

HOTEL BURNED AT
 LAKE VILLAGE
Inmates Were Asleep and Barrel, E>- capped With Their Lives --Guest Nu>tains Broken Hip From
 Jumping.

Lake Village. Oct 2S =fhp hotel kent by Mrs. Y. !. Ward was destroy ed by fire at 3 o'clock yesterday and the sleeping inmates barely escaped with their lives. Mfr. Churchman of Ggeenyille, Miss, was forced to jump from the second story window and was painfully but not ia tally injured. He sustained a fracture of the right hip and several bad bruises, but it is thought he cscapeA any internal injuries. Another guest, NIT. Connors, was badly bruised.
 Only six persons were in the hotel, namely Mrs. Ward and her daughter Miss Annie Ward; Bell Allison of Memphis, 8 commercial traveller; Messrs, Churchman and Phillips of Greenville, Miss, and MT. Connors,
 The building and contents were to- tally destroyed. There was no time after the alarm was given to save any of the furniture, and the guests were unable even to remove their baggage Or any clothes, save what scanty gar ments they hurriedly donned. All es- caped from the building uninjured except Messrs Churchman and Con- nors.
 There is no theory as to the origin of the fire, as the flames were under good beadway before they were dis covered. The insurance equals about one-half the loss.

 PINE BLUFF Spent Several Weeks in This City and Her Actions sr
 Were Shrouded in Mys tery.
CAUSES SENSATION
Asks For the Arrest of Wealthy Planter at Lake Village. Ark, on a PeOnage Charge-Nothing ts Charge. 'Tis Said.

Mrs. Mary Grace Quackenboss, the New York woman lawyer who creatr ed a sensation at Jackson, Miss, re- gently when she asked for warrant against O. B.

She was accompanied here by all Italian count, named Lonte z. Moroni, who is the Italian consul at New Orleans They have been ire quent visitors to Pine Bluff, but re- mained in the city longer on their last visit than on previous occasions. They recently left Pine Bluff for Jackson, where the sensational incl dent was recorded Saturday
 Mrs. Quackenboss' actions here were so mysterious that they attracted the attention of the hotel attaches and others, with whom she came in con tact. She and Moroni interviewed several local attorneys and others, but the nature of the interviews were nev- CT divulged. \ Graphic representa- tive made an effort to- get some in- formation relative to the object of Mrs. Quackenboss' and Count Moro ni's visit here, but was unsuccessful owing 10 the secrecy in which they carried out their work.
 II was stated that Mrs. Quackenboss was in the city in legal capacity for the Standard Oil Company, but this report was never confirmed She IS an attractive woman and was dash ingly attired in black costume. 1t is now believed that she was here to inspect and ascertain the condi- ton of various Italian laborers who are employed on plantations in this county, especially those on John M. Gracie's place at New Gascony.
 A dispatch from Jackson. Miss. gives the following account of the incident in which she figured there:
 70. B. Crittenden, rated as mill lionaire and principal owner of the Sunnyside plantation at Lake Village, Ark, one of the largest in the Arkan- sas river valley, was arraigned before a United States commissioner on a charge of peonage today, and bound over for preliminary hearing.
 The plantation employs a force ot 1000 Italians and Spaniards, and Crittenden is accused of holding one of the former in bondage. Their con- dition is said to have been brought to the Italian ambassador s attention through a general investigation of for eign labor in the South
 "The evidence on which the arrest was made was gathered by Mrs. Mary Grace Quackenboss, New York wo- man lawyer, who has been aiding the inquiry as a special assistant in the United States department of justice, S.2o1c Tu: btdx 7S90$. 1890 ET1S9O
