' GOING at the rate of thirty miles an hour the New York express on the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railroad ran into a heavily loaded South Hal- sted street car at 49th and South Hal- sted streets, Chicago, at 5:25 o'clock Monday afternoon. . Three people were killed and ten in­ jured seriously. Several people were slightly injured and the driver of the street car wandered about for hours crazed by the calamity to the people in his charge. It is expected tbat at least one of the injured will not re­ cover. A crowd of 2,000 people gathered at the place in a few minutes and assisted in removing the wrecked car from the body of an un­ identified woman and a young man, whese body was cut in half and scat­ tered in fragments. Patrol wagons were called from five neighboring po­ lice stations and all the physicians and homes pressed intp service, ^lxree of the injured and one of the dead were strangers in Chicago.

Cal., the Coroner's jury in the case of Robert Russell, mate of the schooner Mabel Gray, whose body was found in the bay with the limbs bound and a gag in the mouth, re­ turned a verdict that Russell met his death at the hands of persons unknown, and that he had been threatened by union sailors and they were suspected of the deed. FRANK WISSMAR, an engineer at the Hyde Park Brewery, St. Louis, Mo., met with a painful accident.

A RAILROAD rate war to the World's Fair from Indianapolis was begun Fri­ day. A $6 rate had been agreed on, but the Monon announced a $4.50 rate, which was promptly met by the Penn­ sylvania. There was a hasty meeting of Big Four and Lake Erie officials, who will meet the cut. It is believed the war will extend to Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis, and the West at once. THE funeral of the unidentified dead from the fire in the World's Fair cold storage building took place in Chicago Friday morning. There were in .all eight bodies, which were placed in one grave. The ceremcnies were held at the church by Rev. Father Hischen, and at Oakwoods cemetery, where the inter­ ment tcok place the Protestant services for the dead were read. The bodies were buried in a lot given by the Oak- woods Cemetery Association. JOHN T. WHITE, President of the Kansas Live Stock Commission, re­ turned to Topeka from Chautauqua County, where he has been making an investigation of a Texas fever scare. jHe found that the stockmen had be­ come frightened because ofthe reports in the Indian Territory. Mr. White Investigated the situation on the other pide of the line, and found that the fever was causing a great mortality among the herds in the Osage country, in the Cherokee atrip, and in Western Oklahoma. BY the verdict of the Coroner's jury called to investigate the cause and fix the responsibility for the cold-storage disaster at the World's Fair grounds four men are bound over to await the action of the grand jury. By this ac­ tion of the jury the;e men are charged with criminal negligence, the direct result of which was the loss of life that attended the fire. Those bound over are: Daniel H. Burn- ham, Director of Work9 of the World's Columbian Exposition; Ed­ ward W. Murphy, Fire Marshal, com­ manding the World's Fair Fire Depart­ ment; John B. Skinner, President of the Hercules Iron Works Company; Chae. A. McDonald, Secretary and General Manager of the Hercules Iron Works Company, owners of the Cold-Storage Building. ACCORDING to a Chicago dispatch Western roads have capitulated on the Word's Fair rate question. Their sur­ render is absolute and unconditional. They are now prepared to grant all the concessions that have up to the pres­ ent been asked of them, and before the end of the present month people from all' parts of the western territory will be able to attend the Fair at as low rates as they ever expected to get. The fi*st step in this direction has been takqn. It assumed the form of a de­ mand on the chairman signed by the requis'4.0 number of roads that he call a meeting of the association to consider aproposiUon for the reduction of rates. The chairtvan has no alternative al­ lowed him. He must call the meeting. When it meets there is no room for doubt that the proposition will go through. P . - ' ' Jl' t- WILL H.

' A WAREHOUSE fire in London, the other night burned over an area of over 1,500 yards before the flames were ex­ tinguished. Thirty buildings were en­ tirely destroyed. These buildings were occupied* by more than twenty-five firms, who dealt in stationery, clothing, tea, wines, furniture, imported goods, etc. Th^j porters and their families living on the premises had narrow es­ capes. Many of them rushed to the street in their night dresses. It is ex­ pected that the loss will reach XI,500,- 000. The burned district is but a short distance to the eastward of the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange, and the Mansion House, the residence of the Lord Mayor. IN his evidence before the court- martial in the case of the battleship Victoria, Capt. Bourke 6aid that he became aware of the "danger of a colli­ sion almost directly the V ictoria began to turn. He did not think that Staff Commander Hawkins-Smith had ever been consulted by Vice Admiral Tryon in regard to the maneuvers. Indeed, nbbody had been consulted. When Vice Admiral Tryon hoisted bis flag on the Victoria, it was customary to use a 30-degree helm. Vice Admiral Tryon altered this to one of 28 degrees. Lord Gilford, Flag Lieutenant of the ^Mediterranean Squadron, was the next witness. He testified that after the collision Admiral Tryon said to hirr: "It was all my fault."

A SENSATIONAL tragedy occurred in the court room at Tabasco, Mexico.

A Toar of the States. -c. World's Fate correspondence: • ; The people take great satisfaction in their State building. They show the feeling of ownership in many ways. The women drop down upon the sofas and go to sleep. The men put their feet upon the rail­ ings. At every h6ur in the day groups of lunchers are on the porches. And they spread . out their pickles A .wo. BMisnca. an^ pje without any of that furtive looking and apparent ap­ prehension of interference with some rule. The State building is the one glace where the Columbian guard with is hanger does not make himself con­ spicuous. After a man has traveled several hundreds of miles into a strange man's town and is expecting every hour to have some one sandbag him and take his clothes, no one can esti­ mate the comfort it gives him to run into a nest of old friends. It gives him a peculiar satisfaction to know that the State building belongs to him as much as to any one else. He has a right to •ly! ;4:- J35 lllf 60UTH DAKOTA HINlRAtg. take a nap on the sofa or sit tilted back on the veranda all day long. Then when he looks in the register and finds that other people from his county are in town it takes away that lonesome feeling. Maybe he will bump into an Acquaintance as soon as he enters the front door. If he does, you will hear something after the following: "Weill what in the world are you doin' here?" "I swan, is that you? What are you doin' here?" "Oh-h-h, we had to see the Fair; couldn't miss, it you know, not if it took a leg." "That's right, that's r i g h t . B r i n g y o u r folks?" "OJh, yes, they're around herej s o m e w h e r e . M o t h ­ er's about fagged. &ays she'd rather BATING LUNCH. cook for harvest hands than walk all day. Goin' to stay long?" "Calculate on bein' here all next week if body and soul stick together that long. 'Spose you'll be here some time." *X3an't tell yet. Just about give up seeing it all. Half the time don't know whether I'm on my head or my heels. Blamedest place I ever struck." "That's right, that's right." State Prodncts Exhibited. "Corn is King! Sugar is Queen!" Ne­ braska displays this double motto on her building to call attention to the fact that she still persists in the prac­ ticability of a beet sugar industry. Kansas makes little boast of sorghum sugar, but Nebraska is as confident as ever about the beet experiment. Not only are samples of b&et sugar shown, but the process of extracting it is illus­ trated. In Nebraska^ building is a de­ tail map of Jfiatte County, made by sticking wheat, oats, rye and grass seed in a large board. The Western States emphasize their specialty in production. You can smell when you come within five rods of North Dakota. The moment you cross the threshold you experience an overpowering sense of "No. 1 hard." Wheat is everywhere. The custodian says there are 146 va­ rieties of wheat in the North Dakota building. Nobody will dispute him. The State of Washington makes oats almost as conspicuous as North Dakota does wheat. Everybody who goes to the national capital* visits Mount Vernon. And everybody who comes to the Fair wants to see the Virginia Building, which is a copy of the home of Washington. The reproduction is as faithful as that of the Chinese artist who put a tear and a grease spot on the new coat which was to be "exactly like the old one" left with him for measurement. Even the hole for the cat in the door of Mrs. Washington's room, where the mother of her country locked herself up when she desired solitude, has not been for­ gotten. Massachusetts, too, goes in for the historical in her State building. She has copied the home Of John Han­ cock, of Declaration of Independence fame. She has put into it the cradle XORTH DAKOTA'S OX AND CAST. which has rocked five generations of Adamses, from which came two Presidents, the mirror in whioh Governor Hutchinson surveyed his powdered wig 150 years ago, and the desk Gen. George Washington used at Cambridge. From an upper window of Louisiana a live Evangeline, as she cards the cotton and spins the string, looks down upon Hiawatha in plaster before the Minnesota Building. The hat that Zachary Taylor wore and the camp chest that went with him through the Mexican war are among the Louisi­ ana curiosities, and with them are pieces of furniture which the Spanish governors used when Louisiana ex­ tended away up the Mississippi Valley and included Missouri. Louisiana calls attention to her resources in a way that shows the changes time is working. She impresses not her sugar industry, not her cotton, but her rock salt, her cypress, and most of all the splendid quality for inside finishing of her ourly leaf pine. Model Farms. Model farms are centers of attrac­ tion iri several of the State buildings. Washington has one of them which is 30 feet square, with a farmhouse no larger than a Ited-caee, a red barn 8 iw Btrrtonra. siderable accuracy. To many visitors this dwarf farm is a triumph of the Ex­ position. City people look at the model and thing what fun farming must be. Country folks wonder where the weeds are and what farm was over in such apple-pie order. In front of the North Dakota Build­ ing is a stuffed ox, harnessed to a weather-beaten cart, with big lumber* ing wheels. On the card it says: ? This outfit was owned by the Hnd- * ; ' : son Bay Company and represents': ' ii : the only means of travel and trails- : || : portation employed north and west : ^ i.of Bt. Pan! prior to the year 1871. ^ What makes this card interesting la the fact that in 1893 the good people of the Dakotas are coming to the Exposi­ tion in through sleepers, with a colored boy to make up their berths. South Dakota has a model of a miner's cabin, a mine and a quartz mill, the work of a Black Hills boy 14 years old. Some State Legislatures from mis­ taken motives refused to appropriate money for building or for exhibits. In several instances the citizens of those States have put their hands in their Sockets and made good the lack of tate pride in their law-makers. Such movements in Arkansas and Texas have resulted well. Florida is the lonesome exception. Florida has al­ most nothing but the walls of her building and some dying palm trees to show. Few people can feel any desire to go to Florida after a visit to the Florida Building. Texas owes her building to Texas women, but there is no disposition to deal harshly with the men of the State for their lack of zeal. All kinds of gathex in#s take place in the State buildings. While the New York ladies are giving a high tea, just around the corner from them Rain-ln- the-Face, who was with Sitting Bull in his last fight, and Curly Head, a Sioux scout, who claims to have been at the Cus­ ter massacre, may baBEADINa ™ Hom holding a reception in PAPBB. the North Dakota parlors.

Another is a collection of the paintings of the cow­ boy artist, Russell, who herds cattle all summer and paints all winter in a cabin at Chinook, never having taken a les­ son in his life. < Pearls from Wisconsin! They have come--black pearls, dahlia pearls, pink pearls, and white pearls. The story is a familiar one around the Wisconsin Building. The collection brought to the Fair is made up from gems loaned by the owners, The idea of bringing building ma­ terial from their respective localities has been scrupulously adhered to by several of the States. West Virginia's house is constructed entirely of the native woods of that State. One of the relics it oontains is the sofa on which Grant and Lee sat at Appomattox, and the inkstand in which the pens were dipped to wrfle and sign the terms of surrender. The State buildings are the places to study American history. Minnesota has a Bible 300 years old and a* statue of Min­ nehaha and Hiawatha mado by a Nor­ wegian. The school children paid for it with their pennies. The identical gun with which Gen. Israel Putnam shot the wolf is one of the Connecticut treasures. The furniture in the grand reception room of New York's building is between 200 and 300 years old. In the Maryland building are two pictures in oil of what is now the site of Chicago as it appeared in 1829. They wore mado by Frederic Harrison, who came out to ao some surveying in the wilds. Under the dome of California's repro­ duction of one of the early mission buildings is a palm tree 100 years old, and with a foot of height for each year of its age.

Street Car at High Speed Passengers Are Ground Beneath the Wreck in Awful Trainmen BlimUl Another was added to the lqng list of Chicago grade-crossing hor­ rors the other evening when an incom­ ing dummy train on tho Grand Trunk road ran into a Halsted street open car at the 49th street crossing. The car was crowded with men and women, most of whom were returning home frcm work. Thomas Perkins and Mar­ garet Murphy, of Chicago, antj Grace Hunt, of La Salle, were killed and ter­ ribly mangled, while ten others were seriously hurt. The street car was south bound. There were forty-six passengers on board, many of whom were standing on the footboards and others between the seats. The car was in charge of Con­ ductor Frank Barnett and Driver Charles Statuecker. When it reached 49th street there was a long freight train passing west. There is a network of tracks at this crossing and the street car men have always looked on it as a dangerous point. When the freight train had passed, however, and the gates were raised by the towerman, George Barnett, it was taken as a signal that the crossing Was clear and Statu­ ecker whipped up his horses and started across the tracks. At the same time Conductor Barnett, who had gone ahead of his car, motioned to the driver to come on. The approaching passen­ ger train was concealed behind the out­ going freight train. Barnett in the watch tower saw the passenger train and realized that a collision was immi­ nent. He at once lowered the gates, but he was too late, for the street car was already on the tracks and the pas­ senger was only a few feet distant. The latter was running at a lively rate of speed and crashed into the side of the car, which was turned around and then thrown thirty feet through the air. Few of the passengers had any warn­ ing of the accident. Those on the foot­ board nearest the passenger train saw it coming and jumped in time to save themselves from injury and perhaps death. But the majority of those on board were carried with the demol­ ished car pnd they fell to the ground together, many injured and others dead. The car, broken into many pieces, buried those who had been rid­ ing in it, and, as the passenger train plunged ahead, there were cries of agony from the victims under the wreck. The dead were at once taken to the county morgue and the injured were placed in carriages and driven away. The passenger train was in charge of Conductor John Kern, Engi­ neer E. W. Jones and Fireman JameB Campbell. Both engi­ neer and fireman, together with the conductor and driver of the street car and the gateman, were placed under arrest. Many who were on the car said that the accident would never have occurred had the watchman and conductor of the horse car attended closely to duty. Severe censure was heard against Conductor Barnett. As he ran ahead to Bee if the way was clear he went only to the first track, it is said. Here he could plainly see the freight pulling out to the west, and amid tho din of whistling locomotives he could not hear the warning signals of the approaching passenger engine. The latter train was on the second track, and had Barnett gone ten feet farther, eye-witnesses say, he could have seen the danger. Mob Attacks an Alliance Meeting. A largely attended meeting of the Pope County Alliance at Cove, Ark., was broken up by a mob and a rain­ storm of bullets was fired over the heads of the crowd. John T. Miller, a member of the last Arkansas Legisla­ ture, was addressing the meeting at the time. The report«states at the first fire from the enemy every man in the crowd stampeded. Mrs. Ida Dun­ can, however, had the presence of mind to mount a box and call to the fleeing men to stand their ground, even in the face of death. . But the men kept on running, leaving the woman to hold the fort alone. James Webb was hit in the eye with a stone. Efforts are being made to arrest the assailants. . Notes of Current Erents.

Wh*i„ __ " came apparent by aetual that the genera! public did notoarafor Sunday opening, that it required attendance of over 16,009 employee wait upon the pleasure of about 40,000 visitors, the question was considered!! purely from a business point of view and it was decided that "t̂ e , interests of the public are not promot­ ed by keeping the Exposition open ofi£ each and every day of the week," and that the gates should be closed. The sole reason for closing the ntr Sun«i|; days is a financial one, as Director *1 Hutchinson stated.

According to cable advices the armv bill was forced 'through the German Beichstag amid scenes unparalleled, Tie speeches were rancorous; the op- 'position bitter and unyielding; the ex- oitement intense. The Emperor him­ self was in the parliament house and was fuming with unbridled rage be­ cause his royal pleasure was not ac­ ceded to with more celerity. The Gov­ ernment had hoped that the final pas­ sage of the Emperor's pet measure would be merely formal, and that the Reichstag would close in time to enable the swaggering war lord and his ministers to congratulate eaoh other at their luncheon over their great triumph. But they were mis­ taken. The enemies of the bill fought to the very last and exhausted every means to narry the Emperor and his advisers. The passage of the bill is an event of much importance. Aside from the dramatic interest which attaches to the Emperor's victory, and the humil­ iating concessions made to the foreign and church elements in order to muster a majority, the new law has other as­ pects of interest. The demand for its passage was basM upon earnest and seemingly sincere representations that German security demanded it. With­ out this law, which gives more men for the army, it was claimed that Ger­ many would not remain first in her military resources. It was broadly as­ serted that without it she would slip backward, outstripped in the race, and become second in importance as a Eu­ ropean power. If the Government view is correct Germany will now step to the front with renewed strength and greater re­ sources. At the same time watchful rivals, guarding their own interests, will measure the new strength of the German army and take measures to outdo it. Thus the raoe will continue as it has been going on until, finan­ cially exhausted, overtaxed, burdened with military service, the people will become impatient and will inaugurate --perhaps in blood--a new order of things. Or, perhaps, the dream of peaceable disarmament of the powers may be realized. ,, w. ,* - ' • • • ioun* liuptleti Cheer. ' The convention of Baptist Toung People, in session at Indianapolis, went wild when the announcement was made that the World's Fair gates were to be closed on Sunday. They were engaged in prayer meeting at the time, and shouted and cheered until they were hoarse.

At 4 o'clock thirty State and provincial ral­ lies were held in various parts of the city, where matters pertaining to the State federations wero discussed. The board of managers announced that Toronto had been chosen as the place for next year's convention. . How the World Wags.
