Thousand Men.

Butte, Mont, Sept 14.-As the re

c temporary lull in the demand for
the red metal orders have been issued
by which the output of the Amalga-

about 40 per cent of the normal pro-

Seen in Sleep.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept 18.-Conf-
dence in a dream probably averted a
big wreck on the Northern Central
railroad. Previous to reporting for
duty at the roundhouse Engineer
James B. Burd, who pulls the Buffalo
flyer, dreamed that his train had run
into landslide at a point between
Danphin and Halifax, fifteen miles
from here He told his dream to sew
eral roundhouse attaches, but they
laughed at him.
Engineer Burd, to ease his mind,
determined to run slowly after pass
ing Dauphin. And it was Well he did,
for at point some distance north of
Dauphin. identical with the place he
had seen in his dream, the engine
plouEhed into a landslide. Going
slowly the engineer was able to bring
his train to stop with little or no
damage

Says He Gave 100000 of His s+eaIngs
to Negroes.

New Orleans, Sept. 14.-The amount
Of State Tax Clerk Charles E. Letten's
defalcation has been fixed at $118,-
600. The examination of his books is
not yet completed, but the experts
doing this work said they do not ex-
pect to find any larger shortages.
Two desperate attempts at suicide
We're made during the day by Vir
ginia Reed, the negress to whom Let
ten says he gave the greater part of
the stolen money. Dressed in silks
she jumped into Bayou st. John,
creek in the city, but was pulled out
by a negro boatman after she had be-
come unconscious. She was revived
by being rolled over a barrel After
regaining consciousness she broke
away from her rescuers, threw herself
fiat in a shallow pool and held her
head under the water until again
dragged out
. LeIten went before a grand jury
and confessed to his defalcation. He
also issued a written statement about
the Reed woman in which he said he
gave her 100000 between January,
1903, and the present month He Of

Allied Franco-spanish Army At
tacks Camp Of the Enemy.
HEAVY FOG COVERS ADVANCE
Defensive Works Destroyed by Fire
Of Artillery and Guns Of the
Cruiser GIoirs.

Casa Blanca, Sept. 13-The allied
Franco-Spanish army has made sud-
den and successful move on Taddert,
where the Moors were massed in
force. The camp Of the latter was
destroyed by bombardment and the
enemy was put to flight, leaving many
dead on the field. The French lost
one man killed and six men wounded
The attack was carefully planned
and was based largely on the obser-
vations of the Moors position from
the military balloon The allied army,
which was divided into two columns,
left the camp at o'clock in the morn
ing, leaving several companies of in
fantry to defend the base at Casa
Blanca. The march was skilfully
carried out under the cover of a fog
until half way to Taddert, When the
fog lifted and disclosed several large
bands Of the enemy. The allies then
charged at the point of the bayonet
and although the Moors resisted with
their old time courage they were
finally compelled to retreat in the
face of superior force and both of
the columns Of allied troops advanced
on Taddert.
After the bombardment of that place
by the French artillery as we'll as by
the guns Of the French cruiser Gloire,
which fired seventy-fve shells, the al
lied infantry advanced on the Moorish
camp, where the enemy was making
a last desperate stand A short en-.
gagement followed and the Moors fed
in wild disorder, pursued for several
miles by the irregular Algerian cav
airy in the French service The Moor
ish camp was completely destroyed.
The exact loss of the Moors is not
known, as they carried away many of
their dead The allied army returned
to Casa Blanca

TWENTY-FIVE ARE KILLED
Passenger and Freight Collide
on the Boston and Maine.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. 16.
"A fearful head-on collision between
the southbound Quebec express and a
northbound freight train on the Con-
cord division of the Boston and Maine
railroad occurred four miles north Of
Canaan station Sunday, due to a mis-
take in train dispatchers orders, and
from demolished passenger coach
there were taken out twenty-five
dead and dying and twenty-seven 9th
er passengers, most of them seriously
injured. Nearly all those who were in
the death car were returning from a
fair at Sherbrooke, Que, sixty miles
north.
The conductor of the freight train
was given to understand that he had
plenty of time to reach a siding by
the night operator at Canaan station,
receiving, according to the superin-
tendent of the division, copy of a
telegraph order from the train dis
patcher at Concord which confused
the train numbers 80 and 3d.
The wreck occurred just after the
express had rounded into straight
stretch of track, but owing to the
early morning mist neither engineer
saw the others headlight until too
late

between the ports in an average of
23.01 knots. which is a record for

that when the time comes for record
making, after her machinery is in
thorough order, the Lusitania will be
the empress of the seas.
The Lusitania's time was 6 hours

GUS record from Queenstown, held by
her sister ship, the Lucania.
The Lusitania, the largest ship

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept 1.-THE
Grand Army of the Republic held its
forty-irst parade Wednesday in
memory Of the victims of war. Ten
thousand veterans braved a driving
storm to march again beneath their
battlefags. Unmindful of the stress
Of storm, as in the days of 81 when
youth and vigor and love OF the flag
knew no physical bounds, those that
We're left passed in review over a
measured mile through village streets
"a distance suited to their gathering
years. Thousands of spectators with
heads uncovered watched the falter-
Ing lines. The rain fell with steadily
increasing volume as the march
progressed, but through the drenching
torrents the old men kept on. For an
hour Or more the veterans walked be-
tween lines of cheering people, keep
ing step to the bands which played
How Dry AM and wait Till the
Sun Shines, Nellie"
After the parade the sky cleared and
the sun broke forth The dripping
but undaunted old soldiers found their
way to lodging places, satisfied that a
trif1ing rainstorm had no more stopped
them than it had in the days of war
