Durand, Mich, August 25.-Superin tendent Ehrke of the Grand Trunk to- night gave out statement that six passengers were killed five injured and eight escaped without injury last night in the Grand Trunk collision, three miles east of here when the Pullman coach Nebraska, on the east bound train No. IA, was demolished d and set on fire by the locomotive of passenger train No. 4. The known dead:

 Mrs. Squires, residence unknown.
 Ten-year- old son of Mrs. Squires.
 The body of James Mclean has not been identified but he is known to have been lost in the wreck and the wom- tified are believed to be mother and son, as the little one was found In the woman's arms. Only a blackened watch, a studded crucifix and locket bear ing the initials I'll. s. L." were found in the search for clues to the identity of the burned corpses.

liding engine then dropped out and the death coach in few minutes was blaz- ing from end to end.
 As the flames ate their way through the splintered timbers of the coach, the cries of the injured ceased and the odor of burning flesh deterred ths passengers of the undamaged cars and the farmers, who had hurried from their homes to assist in the work of rescue.
 The two trains were sections of the Montreal and Boston express and left Chicago yesterday afternoon. No. IA. the first section, passed through Dur rand at 10:02 D. m., and No at 10:35. The engine of No. IA was having trou- ble with it's air brakes and two miles stopped the train and with his fire man got down underneath the engine to make repair
 Brakeman c. R. Graha of Detroit was sent back to place torpedo on the track and flag the expected second section. But No. came rushing on at a speed of 40 miles an hour and ripped its way through the Pullman car. The shock of the collision sent the whole standing train little for ward and Engineer Mitchell and his fireman underneath the stalled engine were badly hurt.
 Brakeman Graha declares that he placed the torpedo mile from the rear of No. II but that No. paid no attention to it. Engineer Spencer s story is different.
 we were almost upon No. IA when we struck the torpedo" he says. T heard 1t all right, but there was no time to stop.'

 ''To the Democracy of Iennessee:

 Tn offering to yield my nomination and to give the democatic party an oppor- tunity if it desired to nominate another candidate, I have done all that any self respecting man should do and all that any self-respecting opponent could ask.
 T am representing not my personal ambition, but the party that has hon. ored me and with it I will go to victory or defeat

wegian register would enter the port of Bluefields, Nicaragua, at their own risk. That order practically tied up commerce between gulf ports and Nicaragua, as practically all steamers plying between these ports and Bluefields carry the Nor wegian flag. The departure of several of these ships from New Orleans finally took place, through the efforts of the United States state department. The ac- ton of the Norwegian government in rec ognizing Bluefelds an open port of entry is taken to mean here that the government recognizes the ascendency of the Estrada forces.

CURSE OF NOVELTY.

OF all the fads that humanity
adopts. perhaps none is more detri-
mental to modern life than the unrea-
soning passionf or the new, simply
because il is new. and not because it
is one whit better in any respect than
that which Is discarded to make way
for the novelty
This restlessness, without any basis
Of reason, without any sense of con
viction, with no real feeling in the
matter except a craving for some
thing new and uncommon, is dan
gerous to the health of the indiyid-
ual and harmful to the community
The fearsome freaks which fashion
annually invents to cater to this spirit
among women illustrate in a homely
way the tendency Of the times.
But fashion is not alone in its cray
ing for the unknown Art literature,
music, the play, law, business, every
phase of life IS affected
Religion, morals and even the home
do not escape. Everything seems to
be in constant state of transition.
Everywhere ana al all times turmoil
and unrest exist
Comfort. quiet, contemplation, the
JOY that comes Of familiar friends, Old
books, surroundings that give one the
comfortable sensation of acquaintance
ship, all these are lacking.
The American nation is losing its
sense Of location. its feeling Of the
permanence of conditions, the sense
of home. which exists in the brain of
the carrier pigeon and the family cat.
Those who hope to enjoy life to
the fun should have a care lest they
mistake unrest for progress, and the
temporary and superficial things of
life for those that are abiding and
real.
