Two Crowded Cars in Indiana Crash Together
and Forty Two People are Instantly Killed
in the Awful Collision.
n their way TO The COUNTY FAIR
Terrible Catastrophe Of the Interurban Which
Came Suddenly and Without Warning to
Happy Crowd Of Passengers.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Sept. 22.-Two
electric traction cars, loaded to the
doors with passengers, collided head
on at the rate of sixty miles an hour
al Kingsland Ind, with the result
+ that forty-two persons were killed
outright and seven others seriously
injured.
The disaster is one of the worst in
the history Of Indiana, and probably
he worst In the history Of electric
rsilroading in this country.
The wreck occurred on the Fort
Wayne-Bluffton division OF the Fort
Wayne and Wabash line. 1t was due
! to fast running on single line track
and the proximate cause was the mis-
F take of the motorman in keeping to
the main line, when his orders we're
/ to the effect that he was to head in
at a siding until the other car had
passed,
The exact site OF the disaster is one
and half miles north of KingSland
and seven miles north OF Bluffton at
sharp curve. The cars in the col
lision we're north bound local car
and south bound extra car from
Fort Wayne.

the motorman instead turning on the
full power and the consequence was
that about half a mile south of the
siding the two cars, both running at
top speed, suddenly came into view
Of each other as they rounded curve.
The cars were only about 40 feet
apart when the motormen saw the
danger They set the brakes but a
terrific collision was inevitable.

MR.. RERNDT HOME
FROM COAST TOUR

Emil A. Berndt, manager of Dimond
and Company and secretary of the
Merchants Association, returned in
the Sierra this morning from a bust
ness visit to California. He looks re-
markably well, and, although quite
busy all the TIME, had nose enjoy
able tour
Mr. Berndt's principal business on
the coast was to investigate the prop
erty of the Puriissina Hills Oil Com
pany, and for that purpose he went up
into the Santa Maria oil district. His
report, which will be submitted to the
local stockholders of the company in
few days, is very favorable in char
acter.
The second business of Mr.. Berndt
had to do with placing agencies for
Pinectar, a product of the Clark Farm
Company, which will be handled by
the Pinectar Sales Company.
Il made all Pinectar connections"
said Mr.. Berndt this morning, and
probably arranged for the sale of our
entire output on the Pacific Coast.
"Pinectar has taken like wild-fire
over there, and our problem in the
future will be to supply the demand.
| can plainly see that the output here
must be speedily and enormously in
creased. Manager Covington, of the
Pinectar Sales Company, has been
/ highly successful in closing advan'
tageous contracts"
Business conditions on the Pacific
coast are much improved" continued
Mr. Berndt. In fact this is the first
year since the earthquake that bust
ness has been normal. Everything
there now looks prosperous and
the future is promising"

REPORTS OF DUN
AND 8RAOSTREET

R. G Dun & Company New York;,
writing under date of November II,
have the following to say concerning
the business situation:
"In it's bearing upon the future buy
ing power of the country the most i'm
portant development of the week is
tie official confirmation of the har-
vesting of the biggest corn crop on
record, considerably over 3,OOO,OOO,OOO
bushels. The government report OF
cotton gnued is also helpful, indicat-
ing crop well in excess of last year
"The business outlook, however,
is doubtful, and under conservative
control with the volume OF transact
lions considerably below full capacity.
The financial situation continues to
maintain an ascendancy over the com
nercial and while there is no substah-
tial recession of the more hopeful
sentiment recently established, tinan-
cial conditions are not clearly DEM
| ed.
1.SThe passing of the congressional
land state elections removes one i'm
uortanU uncertainty, but enough time
has not elapsed in which to form a
complete judgment as to the ultimate
effect upon trade interests. Physical
conditions which make for continued
national prosperity are nearly all that
could be desired. What is holding
back the full measure on business
activity and profit that is desired are
perpleXities Of mans own making
which spring out Of the conflicting III
terests of competing classes.
TT is the hope of rapidly getting
rid of most of these anXieties that is
at the basis of the recently developed
vital change in actual conditions.
Iron and steel trade is waiting fol
the railroads to make their rail anC
other purchases, the railroads have
been waiting for the rate question tC

THE LATEST SUGAR
MARKET REVIEW

The Federal Reporter New York; !
of November I contained the follow
ing:
RAW SUGAR-The only business
reported is a sale of 10000 bags
Cubas which was made last week to
the Revere Sugar Refining Company,
for prompt shipment from Liverpool,
on the basis of 3SOc duty paid, de-
livered Boston for SO deg. test. There
is more of this Cuba sugar in Europe
that could today be bought on the
same basis, and either new or old crop
beets are obtainable on about today S
market. There are now three car
about 10000 tons, at the Delaware,
Breakwater unsold, two cargoes of
which belong to European holders,
who also own most of the Cuba sugar
that is in store in New York, for i'm
porters' account. For these supplies
the equivalent of 3.SSc duty paid is
asked, the sugar evidently being held
above the market in the belief that
some refiner, in need of immediate
supplies, will pay the premium asked.
On the other hand, refiners are in
different, and state that they are not
interested in making further pur-
chases, even at the prevailing spot
price The closing is very quiet, with
the spot market on the basis of assoc
duty paid for SO deg. Centrifugals,
3.3Oe duty paid for SO deg. Musco-
vadoes, and 3.O5c duty paid for SO
deg. molasses sugars.
EUROPE.-Prices abroad have
shown a slight improvement, and to-
days closing is firm, as follows:
November-BuyeEs IS 9%d, equals
2.S4c, duty paid New York.
ecember-Buyers IS 101Sd, equals
3.84c, duty paid New York.
May-Buyers 9s 21ad, equals 3.92c,
duty paid New York.
Augnst-Buyers IS AID, equals
396c, duty paid New York.
JAVAS.-Aside from the three car
goes at the Breakwater unsold, there
are about $4,000 tons due to arrive
between now and the first of the year,
10000 tons of which are unsold.
LOUlSIANA-The harvesting OF
the crop seems to be going on very
satisfactorily, and arrangements are
now being made to forward the first
carload of Louisiana sugars to New
York
DOMESTIC BEETS-Yesterday the
western refiners, who have been nam
ing a price of 4.40c for Chicago and
West, advanced the price to 4.5Oc
which is the price the Michigan re
finers have been naming.
REFINED SUGAR.-All refiners are
quoting on the basis of 46Oc, cash less
i per cent, f. o. b. New York The
Federal Sugar Refining Company has
named a price of 4.55c at some con
signment points where they have
sugar they wish to clean up, but this
is not the general quotation, and does
not apply to sugar for shipment iron

raj Sugar Refining Company is abou
