CAFITAlW thl Tariff Bill Still Under Discussion jn the Nenat«. THE paragraph. 178, of t he tariff bill re­ lating to wood screws having been reached In the Senate on the 22d, Mr. Carlisle said that that was an article which American manufacturers were selling abroad very xuuch lower than they ware selling them at home. He produced price lists in support of his statement; also a letter from the American Screw Company of Providence, R. I. That was another illustration, he said, of the policy adopted by the other side--in allowing drawbacks on exported articles. Mr. Stewart said that the assumption that there was anything wrong in the sale of American man­ ufactured goods in- foreign countries cheaper than at home arose from a want of Information. There was not hing wrong in It, and nothing injurious to American con­ sumers. That was the policy'which Eng- gland had pursued for the lasfrcentury and which English statesmen had advised on all occasions. In the House Mr. Henderson (III.) submitted the report of tlieCommittee on Kivers and Harbors on Senate amend­ ments to the river and harbor. bill, recom­ mending non-concurrence in 'these amend­ ments and agreeing to the conference asked by the Senate. Mr. Kerr (Iowa) raised the point of order that the amendments must first be considered in committee of the whole. This point was sustained by the Speaker.

R. G. Dan & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The signs of monetary disturbance which were noticed in previous reviews were not misleading. At Philadelphia money was tight, at Chicago in strong demand, at St. Louis unusually scarce at 7 to 8 per cent., , at New Orleans tightening, at Denver and St. Paul in good demand, and at Milwaukee more active at 7 per cent., firm at Kansas City, and rather tight at Detroit at 7 per cent. The obvious and only sufficient relief Is the liquidation of money speculations in stocks, in wheat, corn, oats, cotton, leather, hides, coffoe, wool, and especially in silver bullion, which have locked up enormous sums. In addition the enormous imports, intended to anticipate the pending tariff bill, have virtually locked up for an indefi­ nite time many millions paid for goods and In duties 011 them. The volume of legiti­ mate business throughout the country con­ tinues large, exceeding that of last year by ten per cent, outside of New York, and the desire to market products quickly as prices rise causes greater demand for currency from the country than usual. During the last week the Treasury has paid out only 961,000 more than It has taken iu. . A KILLING FROST. It Mb Over Northern Minnesota, Dakota end Manitoba. A KILLING frost lias fallen over the northern portion of Minnesota and part of North Dakota, extending all through Manitoba. At Minnedosa a temperature of 28 degrees was recorded, with 30 at St. Vincent and still lower at points through the Northwest Territory. Re­ ports from the Saskatchewan Valley •fay the late wheat is badly damaged, but the extent is not known. Very little wheat is injured in Minnesota or Dakota, as all of it is cut. The wheat in stacks will not be injured. All immature crops over the territory named have undoubtedly been killed, and this will include a little corn in the northern portions. The frost line ex­ tended as far as Moorehead and Fargo, and to the westward dipped south as far as Huron, S. D., but' it was a light Jrost known as white, and will have no effect on vegetation, As the harvest progresses in Minne­ sota the quality of the wheat crop Im­ proves, and there is no doubt the yield will reach over 40,000,000 bushels of better than average grade. Prices are 30 per cent, better than last year, when the average price per bushel to the farmer was 65 cents. It is believed this year's average will reach 85 cents, which will make a difference of nearly 85,000,000 in the re­ ceipts of Minnesota wheat growers. Fell Over Seven Hundred Feet* • WILLIAM P. DEXSIS, of Terro Haute, one of the most celebrated aero­ nauts in the country, met a horrible death at West Lebanon. When 800 feet from the ground he attempted to de­ scend with a parachute, but the ropes became tangled and he dropped over seven hundred feet. The parachute opened about a hundred feet from the ground, but Dennis had gained such mo­ mentum that it availed nothing. His body was horribly mangled. wheat was top to suffer Injury There is so little corn in Northern Min­ nesota and North Dakota that 110 reports are made of it. TnK population of Missouri is officially placed at 2,788,000, a gain of 019,020 in the last decade. REPOBTS from atong tho lines of rail­ way in Minnesota and Dakota from the Northwestern Road north: Wheat will yield better than last year. West from Watertown and west from Iroquois and through the James River Valley gener­ ally the wheat will not be as good as it was last year, but the acreage is in­ creased; and while the wheat is con­ siderably lighter it will make strong flour. In the extreme north the vield will bo as good as last vear, with increased acreage. In Southern Minnesota, Dakota, and North­ ern Iowa the yield will not be as great as last year, and the quality will not bo as good. The probable yield of Min­ nesota and the two Dakotas will be over 90.000,000 bushels. Charles Holland writes from Stcphan, Minn., that the frost of Saturday did littlo or no dam­ age. TIIK result of the official count of the State of Washington has been given out by the Census Bureau. The schedules in two. Supervisors' districts, however, have not been received. The population of the State exclusive of these is given as 343,504. The missing districts will probibly increase this number to about 346,000. The census office announces the result of the count of the population of a number of, cities as follows: Milwaukee, 203.079; increase in ten years S8.392, or 70.47 per cent.; Alle­ gheny City, Pa., 104,967. increase in ten years 26,285, or 33.41 per cent.; Seattle, Wash., 43.914, increase 40,381; Tacoma, Wash., 35,858increase, 34,700; Em­ poria, Ivan.. 7,550, 2,919, or 03.03 per cent.; Arkansas City, Kan.. 8,354, in­ crease 7,342; Fort Scott, Kan., 11,837, increase 0,465, or 120.35 . per cent. The census for New Mexico places the population at 152,159, a gain of 25 per cent. It is alleged on all sides that the work has not been efficiently performed. From all the prominent towns in the Territory come complaints of omissions. In Santa Fc County alone tho returns are fully 2,000 below what they should be, whole families hav­ ing been overlooked by the enumerators. Thus it is not unreasonable to estimate that the actual population of New Mexi­ co is 170,000. THE Iowa railroad commissioners have decided to ask the Governor to request the Attorney General to bring suit against all the roads which have refused to put in operation the schedule of joint rates prepared by tho commission. THE five hundred or eight hundred people who live in eastern Arapahoe Couuty, Colo., near the Kansas line, arc in a state bordering on starvation. A committee representing the settlers is in Denver seeking aid of the County Commissioners. Crops are an absolute failure this year, and as the country is new. tho first settlement having been made only three years ago, the people have no resources and they find winter approaching with­ out any prospect of pulling through it alive without assistance. The people now are barely subsisting, and it i? the experience of cattlemen who occupied the country with their herds previous to the farmers coming in there that no country is more rigorous than this section of the plains. OKE of the leading wholesale coal mer­ chants of Chicago says: "The present retail price for anthracite coal is SO. It will likely be advanced to 86.25 shortly. You cannot lAy the coal down here for a penny less than 85 on the track. Then you have to undergo the cost of hand­ ling it the yards and suffer a mar­ gin for the retail dealer. In round numbers the present tonnage is 100,000 tons less in the United States this year1 than last, whjch mu^t, of cours?, affect the price.' Another Important factor in increasing the price of coal is the fact that the mine-owners are compelled to contract with their men in such manner that their wages are greater com­ mencing Sept. 1 than at any other period of the year. This will result in the mine-owners advancing their figures." --Burglars Wednesday night stole $4,000 from the bureau drawer of Michael Selby, a farmer living near Wooster, Ohio. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. THE Repblican State State Convention of Wisconsin nominated the following ticket: Governor, William D. Hoard; Lieutenant Governor. Joseph B. Treat; Secretary of State, Edwin D. Coe; Rail­ way Commissioner, S. E. Brimi; Attor­ ney General, James O'Neal; Superin­ tendent of Schools, L. D. Harvey; In­ surance Commissioner, David Schreiner. \ FOREIGN QOSSIP. Texas Fevr tn Ohio.

Gladstone on Fruit Fanning. ME. GLADSTONE, speaking at Hawar- 4MI, England, dilated upon land culture In England. He said there ought to be more fruit farming. He believed that the value of the land, in spite of the in­ creased foreign imports, was destined to improve. r, Business Failures. • THS business failures occurring throughout the country during the last •even days number 192, as compared with 197 last week. For the corresponding* week last year the figures were 206. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. THEKE is no disposition to let the anti- lottery bill sleep in the Senate. Senator Sawyer has promised that it should pass this session. So long as the tariff bill takes up the time exclusively there is no chance for other legislation. But if any special order of business is adopted for the remainder of the session the apU- lottery measure will be included in that order. If no sych arrangement is made the bill can still bo reached. To BELIEVE the stringency in the money market Secretary Windom has issued the following circular: TREASURY DEPARTMENT., I WASHINGTON, D. C. F In pursuance of tho authority contained in Sees. SCiM aud 3090 of the Revised Stat­ utes of the United States, public notico is hereby given that, any time before Sept. 1, 1890, the Secretary of the Treasury will re­ ceive, at the Treasury Department, in the city of Washington, D. C., or at the office of any Assistant Treasurer of the United States, and will redeem at par, 4%-per-cent. bonds of the acts of July 14, 1870, and Jan. 20, 1871, to an amount not exceeding $20,- 000.000; and on or immediately after Sept. 1, 1890, will prepay to tho owners of the bonds so received all tho interest on said bonds to and including Aug. 31, 1891, with­ out rebate of interest. The circular of Aug. 19, 1890, Is hereby rescinded. WILLIAM WINDOM, Secretary. The remarkable stringency of money, the bear raid on stocks, which was ono of its results, alarming reports as to the expected big railroad strikes, and the extreme uncertainty as to what was go­ ing to happen next--all contributed to a condition of feverish uneasiness and anxiety in Wall street. The price of money went away up to 186 per cent., plus the regular 6 per cent, interest-- more than li iter cent, per day, and a higher figure than it had touched for a year. IT is reported that the Guatemalan troops on the frontier of Salvador have mutinied, wanting their pay. The Gau- temalan forces number 30,000. THE situation in Armenia, according to the London Nines, is daily becoming more deplorable- There has been a wholesale massacre of Christians at Moosh. A SALVADOR dispatch says: General Ezeta has received the peace protocol, which was submitted to the cabinet and approved on most of the points. General Ezeta will send to Guatemala a commis­ sioner duly authorized to sign the peace agreement arranged by the diplomatic corps, and it is believed that everything will be settled satisfactorily Friday or Saturday. The Salvadorian troops ob­ serve the truce without abandoning the positions they have gained. THE Russian Government has decided to take energetic measures to restrain emigration from persuading peasants to venture abroad, especially to Brazil. fRESHANDN EWSY. AT Toronto, Ont., tho Coroner's jury in the case of the Brack avenue crossing disaster returned a verdict of man­ slaughter against Thomas Tait, General Superintendent of the Ontario and At­ lantic Division of the Canadian Pacific Railway, who authorized tho time-tablo on which the train ran that caused tho fatality, the running speed being consid­ erably higher than the six miles author­ ized by the statute. THERE was a scene of excitemeni on the Chicago Board of Trade when wheat for December delivery went up to 81.09%. Early, before the shutters of the board had been taken down and the floor had been swept out, the curbstone trading put tho price of a bushel of wheat at $1.05%. When business actually commenced **lt opened at 81.05%, but before the day was done the price was SI.09%, which is a comfortable- sized rise for the meek and lowly wheat which in days not long gone by had been bumpiug along in the neighborhood of 80 cents. So far as anybody could tell there wasn't any corner or speculative combina­ tion to force up prices. C. B. Irwin said: "It was the news from North Dakota that did it. Frost is reported there. At first blush it would seem that frost couldn't do any harm now--in fact. I heard a man say that he had just been up there and,-,they were harvesting--but it must be remembered that the late planted wheat is not yet ripe, and that might be pretty badly hiyt." •^Never has there been such a season as this for thirty years," said It. W. Dunham. "There have been short wheat crops, short potato crops, and all that, but when one crop has been scanty an­ other has been large. But this year everything that grows out of tho ground that you can eat Is short. Wo have •a, population, say, of 62,000,000 east of the Rockies. Each person, it is estimated, con­ sumes four and a half bushels of wheat per annum. That figures out 279,000,000 bushels. Allow 60.000,000 bushels for seeding and we have 329,000,000! bushel as the amount re­ quired. The estimates for this year's crop hardly run over 400,000,000 bushels--some say 391,000,000. Let's spilt the difference and make It 395,000,000. Take out the seed and we have left 345,000,000 bushels, which leaves us 10,000,000 for export. Why, that amount isn't enough for the coastwise trade to Cuba, tho West Indies. South America, Mexico, Nova Scotia and the like. Tell you what, along next spring good wheat will be as scarce as hen's- teeth, and may be ecarccr." "Wfiut'll folks eat?" "High-priced wheat. There won't be any potatoes, or onions, or apples, or fruit of any kind, and they'll all have to live on bread. Corn will go up in price, too, as you can see by to-day's markets." SAYS President Baker, of the Chicago Board of Trade: "It is my belief that wheat will go up to 81.50. But that will not come all at once. Wheat is scarce. I think it's a safe thing to say that there will be 20,000,000 bushels less this year than last." Tho farmer In this case will be somewhat in the position of the protected manufac­ turer. He can dictate his own prices. There Is no wheat for export In this crop. The home market will use it all up. Here­ tofore there has been a surplus of wheat and it was the surplus that made the prices hero. Mr. Dunham saw when he said that the farnuT when ho raised so much wheat beat his own brains out with a club of his own making^ TI1K MAIUSJlTS. CHIOAGO.

NEARLY 5,000 peoplo assembled at Lawrenceburg, Tenn., to witness the laying of the corner-stone of the monu­ ment to Davy Crockett, who lived there for many years. Mr. E. S. Fowler, of Columbia,,made the principal speech of the day. He outlined tho carcer of Davy Crockett and related many interesting anecdotes, illustrating his ready tact and love of adventure. He said Davy Crock­ ett was famous in life and none the less famous in death, for if a man unknown had suffered the death of Davy Crockett that alone would have made him famous. $'-» WESTERN HAPPENING8. : GEORGE FARIBAULT, chief of the In­ dian police at the Standing Rock Agency, Dakota, is dead. lie was the Daniel - Boone of Minnesota, and a man of great Influence among the Indians, being him­ self a quarter-breed, lie saved the Hves of many whites during the Indian troubles.

WORD has been received from Beaver Lake, Texas, of a bloody combat near that locality between some fugitive mur­ derers and a Sheriff's posse from New Mexico assisted by some citizens. The outlaws, five in number, were wanted in New Mexico for crimes committed there, and were followed by the officers to near Beaver Lake, where an attempt was made to arrest them. A fight ensued, resulting in the death of four of the fugitives and the killing of a citizen by the name of Burrows who was assisting the officers. One of the fugitives escaped. BOB POI»E, a magistrate and promi­ nent citizen of Harlan County, Ken­ tucky, was shot and perhaps fatally wounded on the 10th inst. by John Scott. The trouble arose ov^r tho shooting of an ox, which was the property of Pope. Leonard Scott, brother to John, was also implicated. Both of the Scotts made their escape and have not yet been cap­ tured. The wounded man is a son-in- law of Judge Lewis, Who has offered a reward for the apprehension of the Scotts.

At what point It originated is not known. Tho sudoeiiitoss of its coming tvas one of Its awful feature.*. The heavens were as block as night and the wind .blow with frightful velocity. Whole rows of trees wore blown down. Following this hundreds of houses were unroofed, partially Mown over, or completely demolished. Worse than all, a number of lives were lost. How many wore killed is not known at this time. Large districts In several sections of the city are in ahsoluto ruin, and the women and children are In tho streets crying and wringing their hands In dismay. The dam­ age will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. Passengeis trains and locomotives at the depot were blown over, and every wire In the city--electric light, telephone and tele- grapli--is down. The devastation is to bo compared to nothing in the memory of tho oldest iuha bit ant. Fortunately, no fires have as yet taken place, for the streets are Impassable with trees and fallen buildings, and the engines could not be drawn through them. The total number of deaths so far as as­ certained is twelve. Four men are known to have been killed in the Hazard Wire-Rope Works. A hoitso on Scott street, occupied by miners who had just retured from work, fell in anfl three"of the inmates were killed. The huge stack of the Kytle planing mill fell on a man and two horses and all were killed. A little colored girl was killed by a falling building on South Main street. Two men suffered deatjv by the falling of a portion of Stegmaier's brewery and a third Incurred the same fate through the almost complete demolition of S. L. Brown's handsome brick business block on. East Market street. There were, undoubtedly, fifteen or six­ teen others killed. It is impossible at this time to give names or particulars. Many poor people have suffered heavy losses and it will be mouths before all the damage can bo repaired. One hundred tin- roofers have been telegraphed for, and building mechanics of all kinds can find employment here for weeks to come, as it is already known that fully ~'00 buildings have been blown down or otherwise damaged. Many 'of tho structures were of large size and of great value. Approximate losses only can be given, as follows: Hazard wire-rope works, $25,000. 8. L. Brown's residence, §20,000. Pt. Mary's Catholic Church, 916,000. Malinckrodt Convent, $3,000. Murry shaft, $10,000. Hollenbaek shaft, $5,000. White Haven Ice Company. $8,000. Lehigh Valley Depot. §2.000. Pennsylvania Railroad Company's round­ house, Ssi.OOO. Ahlborn's pork-packing house, $S,000. I'aine's oil house, $2,(MO. Dickson Manufacturing Company, $3,000. In addition to these hundreds of citizens havo suffered losses running from $500 to $5,000. The Murray fan-house was blown down and the fan stopped. Thero were twenty- seven men in the mine, but it is hoped they can lie got out safely. Reports come from S;!gnr Notch, a mining town three miloa from here, that tho de­ struction of property is tcrriblo and that fifteen persons were killed. At Parsons and Mill Creek, four miles from here, coal-breakers in all directions have been more or less diimaged, and the number of killed will reach ten. Telegraph wires are down In all directions antf commu­ nication all cut off. The names of some of those killed, as far as known, are: Evi Martin, a baker; buried beneath a falling smokestack; his two horBes were also killed. John F. Ritz, a laborer in the spool-mill at the Hazard works; taken from the debris horribly mangled. Burrell Uendenme$pHfSalesn)ftn for Hart- lee A Co.. grocers; Instantly killed by the falling of Brown's business block. Samuel Rouse, machinist at Hazard works; killed by falling timbers. Peter Ritteumeyer, killed in Fred Jacob's Hotel, which was wrecked; when removed his skull v:as found to be crushed. Joseph Kern, a milkman, blown from his wagon; ho was found 200 yards away lying on tho Lehigh Valley road with his head cruslicd. Adam Frantzol, of the firm of Jones & Frantzol, struck by flying timbers, died at 9 o'clock this evening. Mamie Thompson, aged 6 years, blown against a house and instantly killed. George Hamilton, John Kleinkautf and a Hungarian entered a barn for shelter. The large double doors were blown in, killing Hamilton instantly and fatally injuring the other two. Among the injured are: Berlin Vandermark, struck by timbers. His head was crushed and his ribs and legs were broken. He cannot recover. Max Cramer, fatally injured by a falling wall. Jesse Houser, legs broken and Internally injured by a falling roof. ' Miss Mary IIcn wood, seriously hurt. While descending from a carriage she was blown fifty feet away. Albert Smith, a paper-hanger, ribs broken and head injured. Jacob Falk. a butcher, blown from a wagon, arm dislocated. M. Brlukman, Injured internally and arm broken. Jacob Newgold, a butcher, ribs broken and head bruised. Ambrose Constlne, a liquor dealer, ribs broken and injured internally. A dispatch from New Milford, Susque­ hanna county, says a cyclone struck that region at precisely tho same moment that Wilkesbarro was struck. Farmer Cole's house was demolished and Mrs. Colo was killed. His family was imprisoned in the wreck, but rescued by a crew of trainmen who had witnessed the disaster. They aro all badly hurt. New Milford is sixty miles north of Wilkesbarro. Another dispatch says that just before tho cyclone reached here it struck Harvey ville, killing t wo women. Horrible was the scone in tho Hazard Wire-Rope Works. Dead and dying lay on the floor and their heartrending cries and groans tilled the air In the room. The cy­ clone struck the rear of the large brick building, about 200 men being employed In the works. Tho roof and side walls wero crushed in and lay in ruins all about. The bricks and ponderous machinery were scat­ tered all over. When tho storm was im­ minent the men rushed for the door, but many of them were caught in the ruins. As soon as the calm succeeded tho awful cy­ clone men rushed'Into the ruins and carried the injured Into the portion of tho building which was undamaged and laid them upon the floor. Rude beds of matting were made for the victims on the floor and physicians were summoned. St. Mary's Catholic Church, South Wash­ ington street, is a total wreck. The massive tower in the rear of tho church was blown down clear to the base and fell with tre­ mendous force against, tho residence of Michacil Cuohagen, smashing it. The in­ mates all huddled together in the hall and escaped injury. The i»oUd tin roof 011 St. Mary's Convent, South Washington street, was torn off and blown into the street and a portion of the brick wall was taken away. Mayor Sutton has issued a proclamation calling on the members of tho Ninth Regi­ ment to assemble at the armory to aid In the police supervision of tho city. Ho also requested all idle worklngiuen to report to him for labor in clearing away the debris, tho city to pay for tho same. The estimated loss Is $500,000, although it may reach a higher liguro. The suffering la great. A terrible rain-storm sot In shortly aftov the cyclone and drenched the exposed prop­ erty, which lies in Its track. Superintendent Caskins of the Hazard Wire-Works reported that they would be ir. running order again In about one week. Aa far as known to him only ono man was killed at the works and ono fatally injured. Several more were Uightly hurt by falling timbers. The cyclone passed through the little town of Kumiuervllle,' near New Milford, on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, shortly after li o'clock this even­ ing. blowing down houses an4 tearing up treoa la it* imtk. The town was practically annihilated. Engineer William Fisher la giving an account of his experience while passing through the cyclone said tho en­ gine was lifted from the track, the cab was blown off, and all tho windows In the cars were crushed in by the terrible force of the wind. Two of the train hands were serious­ ly Injured. At Harveysvllle several lives were tost. The town was wrecked. . The Methodist Eplscopnl Church and the adjoining parson­ age were blown down. Harvey's large store I was totally destroyed. Nearly all of the J buildings in the village and the buildings I on farms wero unroofod and are uninhabit­ able. The crops fn the fields wero ruined. Elijah Fa^renninger. a well-to-do farmer, was killed, and several others were Injured. It is feared the total loss of life in tho devastated district will exceed 0110 huudred. PERISHED IN Flltekn People A WRECK. Kany JCtt** Ktiln I and Injured. [Boston special.] Tho noon express from Wood's Holl over tho Old Colony Railroad was wrecked at Qnincy to-day and fifteen persons wero kill­ ed and'between thirty and forty persons in­ jured. The disaster took place at what is known as the President's Bridge, just this side of the Quincy statlori and near tho old John Quinc.v Adams estate. Tho train was speeding along at the rate of forty-five miles an hour when It. rounded the curve at that point. It consisted of a single engine, a baggage-car, a drawing-room car, smoker, and livti ordinary coaches. The train was heavily loaded, however, with business­ men returning from their summer houses along the south shore, excursionists, .and a number of Grand Army veterans who hail spent the Sunday at Martha's Vineyard. Whether the speed of the train caused it to Jump tho curve, whether it was a spreading rail or a misplaced switch that did the work is now not known, but 110 sooner did the en­ gine reached the cut than it made a wild leap against'thes%one~abutment. So narrow was the space that It could not speed on, but such was its force that it turned com­ pletely about. The cars behind Were thrown from the rails, but tho baftgage, smoker, and Pullman continued their course over the sleepers. Tho fourth car, however, swung away from the others and crashed Into the engine. This car was crowded with seventy-fivo passengers, and not more than twenty escaped alivo and uninjured. The engine boiler was broken, and the scalding steam was forced into the ruined car, causing unutterable suffering among tho struggling mass of men and women. Tho other cars were thrown to their sides and badly bunched. The police and tire alarms wero rung,.and a crowd rushed to tho rescue. Surgeons were summoned from Boston, and Superin­ tendent Ivondrick hurried with a wrecking train to tho scenc. The work of rescue was a painful one. The sloping lawn about the residence of Charles A. Howland was converted into a temporary hospital and the grass was red with the blood of the dead and injured. Just below lay the tangled wreck, with scores of 111011 struggling desperately to release tho dead or dying persons that remained crushed beneath the mass of iron and wood. The sound of the busy axes, the groans of men and women, and tho anxious search of friends made an impression that will never be forgotten. By dint of hard chopping the rescuing party succeeded in removing tho body of Fireman Ryan. This was complete­ ly torn in twain. A man and a women were then taken out, the latter being dead. The man spoke a few unintelligible words on his removal, but died In a few moments. The fourth car was tho scene of the most terrible suffering. Men and women thero wore wedged Into every conceivable shape-- some with blackened faces and wrenched necks, others with great pieces of the seats transfixing tliem so that the rescuers were obliged to cut away great masses of wood­ work before they could bo extricated. In several instances dead people wero found sitting bolt upright as if dazed by tho shock. Iu this posture sat a young woman whose graceful arm was still twined about a boy, but her eyes were glassy in death and her face bore a look of concentrated terror. The shapely head of the boy was charred to blackness and the faco twisted into u most repulsive expression. There was a woman, apparently 45 years old, whose shoes had been torn from her feet and her hair from her head. Her faco wore an expression of awe and her lips were parted as if in prayer. Next, was a heavy, middle-aged njan, ap­ parently a prosperous merchant, "w!16se neck had been broken by a backward wrench so that the Adam's apple protruded through the skin. Near him lay an elderly military man, calm and dignified in appearance, as though lying on his own couch. No bruises of any sort wero visible, while from his pockets projected two visiting cards bearing the names of "Miss Butler" and "Miss Cut­ ler." A woman dressed in dark satin and wear­ ing a handsome diamond ring was next re- movod. So the work was continued. There were some wonderfully narrow es­ capes. Prof. W. L. Hooper, of Tufts Col­ lege, who was sitting in the fourth car, thus relates his experience: "I was sitting I11 the fourth car on the right-hand side and.next the aisle. I think I had been dozing a little. The first thing I noticed out of tho way was that the car be- gaii to sway, then to jolt up and down pretty badly, and then all of a sudden it seomed as if tho seats were rising up and bobbing about in a crazy dance. Then we came to a stop just as the crazy jdance stopped. The steam from tho locomotive, which was right under our car began to escape and fill the car. I did not hear much shi loking, but there was a sort of a general groan to be heard amid tho crashing and shivering of timbers and glass. As soon as I begati to realize what had happened I tried to -break the window and get out, but the blind was partially pulled down so I couldn't. However, I smashed the widow of tho seat in front of me with my foot and crawled out." There are various theories as to tho cause of tho accident. For several feet back along the track there Is a sort of furrow which seems to Indicate that something about the engine broke and plowed into, the soil for some distance,finally derailing it. The most impression, nowever, seems to be that tho engine was thrown from tho track by spreading rails, and It is stated that a gang of workmen had been repairing that portion of the track and may*havo left some of tho rails insufficiently spiked. Thero wras 110 switch near by on that track, so that the disaster could not have been caused by a misplaced switch, as was first rumored. WILL BE A BIG TIE-UP. ALL THE VANDERBILT ROADS TO BE BLOCKED, DOINGS OF CONGRESS- • •EA8URBS CONSIDERED ANF> ACTED UPON. Fen>»tlonal Developments ta th* New York Central Strike--All the Lines of the System tllceljr to Be Tied lip. [New York dispatch.] •'8trike," said Chieftain Powderly, Gen­ eral Master Workman of 300,000 Knights of Labor. "Strike," says Chieftain Sargent and the three other members of the Su­ preme Council of the federation of 52,000 railway employes. So say the leaders of the Knights and the brotherhoods In chorus. The Executive Board of tho Knights of Labor voted to take tho strike from the bands of D. A. No. 240, and prosecute it vigorously in every possible direction to the bitter end. It is a life and death struggle with them. It means everything. Either they must win and gain the rights of arbi­ tration which they claim or forever lose their power among the laboring men, who now believe them potent. Chief Sargent wired to the other eight members of the Supreme Council to convene in Terre Haute Saturday morning. There and then, he said, the recommendations of Messrs. Howard, Wilkinson, Sweeney and himself would be received and accepted and the members of tho federation, 52,000 strong, bo ordered to help in tying up the entire Vanderbilt system--that is, the New York Central, West Shore, Lake Shore, Michigan Central, Nickel-Plate, Chicago and North­ western and tho Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis. So far as ftiortal means could go to avert this disaster, Mr. Sargent said, they bad been tried in this case, and tried in vain. Tho railroad company would havo It so. On their heads be the blame and the responsi­ bility. They had forced a fight against or­ ganized labor, and now organized labor must, protect Itself, and the sympathies of workingmen everywhere would §0 with it. ' "We will not break a law," said Mr. Wright, one of the most level-headed of the General Executive Committee of the Knights of Labor, "but wo will do every­ thing'under the sun that we can do legiti­ mately to win this just fight--a fight which has been forced upon us." "The company will resist to the end," said Third Vice President Webb. "We pro­ pose to maintain our rights, to run our own business our own way, and not be dictated to by outside parties." Not until all avenues of reconciliation had been closed was tho standard of war raised. The labor leaders had gone very slow, Chief Sargent In particular. Save for the switch­ men's trouble in and about Buffalo, and their grievances against Superintendent Burrows, whom they declare to be totally unfit by ago and irascibility for his position, their cause for striking was almost a sym­ pathetic one. They had but ono reason for going, and that was tho supposition that the Central had deliberately entered Into a war of ex­ termination of trades unions. The leaders do not more than half believe this now, and there is reason to believe that if Mr. Webb had been more diplomatic he could have averted the strike. But he failed to lay on the molasses thick enough and the damage is done. New York was tho stage to-day and Grand Chief Sargent the Richelieu. He pulled the strings which made tho puppets dance. He was the last nian to say yea, and when ho said it the thing was done. The Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and the Federation of Railway Employes kept at the St. Cloud Hotel with a great deal of fidelity, and did nothing to strengthen the bonds of friendship between himself and tho Central officials. It was nearly 11 o'clock when Messrs. Powderly aud Devlin betook themselves to the den of the enemy. They were received with great apparent cordiality by Messrs. Toucey and Voorhecs and were closeted with them for an hour. Mr. Powderly went over the ground already covered in his let­ ter, stated what had been learned in the in­ vestigations, and pleaded valiantly for Mr. Webb's change of mind regarding arbitra­ tion. Ho was informed that Mr. Webb was as solid as a rock, and that the company was prepared to back him up to the last notch. The Knightly employes who had been discharged were discharged for cause, and that was all there was to it. Messrs. Powderly and Devlin returned with this message to tho waiting leaders, and for about half an hour the strike was considered a settled thing, Mr. Powderly described Mr. Webb as a very young and apparently inexperienced man who had no business to be dallying with the lever end of a big railroad system. This brought matters down to a pretty fine point and the fog bank of mystery surrounding the leaders grew dense. It was dangerous to approach them. Mr. Sargant was tho ex­ ception and he talked for half an hour quite as if he were tired of the muzzle which the Knights of Labor had striven to place upon his lips. a "I don't believe in all this mystry and secrecy,"he sald;"wo uro engaged in a legiti­ mate public business, and I believe in letting, the newspapers know what is going on. "The situation has reached a very serious stage--a very serious stage, indeed. There is going to bo a great deal of trouble yet, and you can say that I said so. So far as the railroad company is concerned, their attitude is not different to-day from what it was yesterday. They are determined not to submit tho grievances at issue between them and the Knights, and nothing less than a fight and victory against tlienj will cause them to change their position. So far as I am concerned, I do not believe that the Central Road is engaged in an effort to wage a war of extermination against the labor organizations. It's too late in the day for a great railroad to cuter upon any such foolish course." Mr. Sargent said distinctly that If the Knlglits could show that the Central was waging war upon organized labor tho fire­ men and allied organizations in the federa­ tion would not hesitate to join in a strike. "But rest assured," said Mr. Sargent, "tho strike will not bo ordered on the part of the Federation until the Supremo Council has passed upon it and the public been given ample opportunity to prepare for it. Then if it conies to this it will bo a whopper." A reporter asked the leader of the Federa­ tion what strength, the brotherhoods in the Federation could muster. He said: "Fifty- two thousand men. Thero are 20.000 mem-*' bers In the Federation of tho United Order of Railroad Employes, 18,000 in the Brother­ hood of Locomotive Firemen, 8,000 members of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association, and 8,000 of the Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors. The number Is not great com­ pared to the 300,000 Knights of Labor, but you must remember that they are all rail­ road hands, many of them skilled workmen, while they are divided into all branches of work."

IN the Senate, on th© 10th tost., the rlirer and harbor bill was taken up, and, after several amendments of little Importance- had been agreed to, was passed. Mr. Quay gave notice of a resolution providing for a vote on the tariff bill Aug. 30, and for adjournment as soon as possible thereafter. (The effect of this would be to delay action on tho Federal election bill till the next session.) The House passed the anti-lottery bill without division. The bill, pro­ vides that no letter, postal card or circular concerning any lottery, so- called gift concern, or other similar enterprise offering prices dependent upon lot or chance (or concerning schemes de­ vised for the purpose of obtaining money or property under false pretenses), and no list of the drawings at any lottery or similar scheme, and 110 lottery ticket or part there­ of, and no check, draft, bill, money, postal note, or money order for the purchase of any ticket, tickets or parts thereof, and or of any share or chance in any such lottery or gift enterprise, shall be carried In the mail or delivered at or through any post- office or branch thereof or by any letter- carrier. Mn. EDMUNDS of Vermont offered, in the Senate, on the 18th, the following amend­ ment to the tariff bill, which was referred to the Committee on Finance: "That when­ ever the President of the United States .shall l;e satisfied that a sugar-producing country, whence sugar is exported into the United States, has abolished its duties or, taxes on the importation of the principal agricultural products of the United States he may, by proclamation, diminish or wholly remit the duties imposed by law on sugar, or any grade of sugar, produced In and exported from any such country into tho United States, FO long as such products of the United states aro admitted free of duty or tax in such country, and no longer." Mr. Edmunds also gave notico of another amendment which he intended to propose to tlie tariff bill authorizing the President of the United States, whenever he shall-be sat­ isfied that unjust discriminations are made by or under the authority of any product of the United States, to make proclamation excluding products of that country from importation into the United States. He said that tho amend­ ment was Identical in all respects with one of the sections of tho "meat bill" which had passed the Senate two or three times, almost unanimously,but bad nevex* got any further than the Senate. In the House Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) called up the Mississippi contested •election case of Mitchell against Morgan. The majority report found in favor of Mr. Morgan, the pitting member. The report 'was accepted.' TIIE resolution offered by. Mr. Plumb,, instructing the Committee on Rules to issue orders that will prevent the sale or drinking of spirituous, vinous, or malt liquors in the Sen­ ate wing of the Capitol was taken up in the Senate on the 1 t»th inst. Mr. Butler move- to adopt a resolution authorizing and did recting the Sergeant-at-arms to make daily inspection and examination of tho commit­ tee rooms and other apartments in tlM> Senate wing of the Capitol and to re­ port to the Committee on Rules whether he has found spirituous, vinous, or malt liquors therein. Mr. Gorman moved the reference of the resolution and amendment to the Committee 011 Rules. The agricul­ tural college bill was passed by the House. Representative Stockbrldge of Maryland, from the Committee on Commerce, re­ ported favorably to the House the Senate bill to provide for the inspection of live cat­ tle and beef products intended for export to foreign countries. The accompanying report says the object sought to be attained by the proposed legislation is the Increase of the exports of American cattle and at tho samo time to increase their value to the American farmer and stock-raiser in tho prices which they will command. The report refers to the discrimination made by European coun­ tries against American meat products upon the plea that by reason of the complete absence of Inspection of such products be­ fore shipment diseased meats were liable to lie brought in and to an implication <djgr those countries that when effective inspec­ tion was provided by tho United States tho restrictions would be removed. The estab­ lishment of such inspection is provided by this bill. / MR. QUAY'S resolution, flxin/ the time for voting on the tariff bill andjfdesignating the other legislative business fo be taken up at this session, was laid before the Senate on tho 20tli. Mr. Hoar demanded the yeas and nays 011 agreeing to the resolution, and then offered as a substitute for Mr. Quay's reso­ lution his ow# proposition making it in order "when any bill or resolution shall have been under consideration for a reason­ able time" for any Senator to demand that debate thereon be closed. lie also moved to amend Mr. Quay's resolution by adding to it a provision to include in the business to be taken up tho Federal election bill, and to have the vote 011 It taken Sept. 4. No vote on it was reached. The House amendments to the Agricultural College bill and to tho meat Inspection bill were laid before the Senate and concurred la. These bills now go to the President for his signature. In the House the meat Inspection bill was taken up. Mr. Funston (Kan.), Chair­ man of the Committee on Agriculture, said that, It was proposed by this measure to open foreign ports to American meats. By open­ ing those ports millions and millions of foreign gold would be brought into this country and would relieve the embarrassed condition of all classes of industry. Tho bill was then passed. Tho House then pro­ ceeded under the special order to the con­ sideration of the bill defining lard, but with­ out disposing of the measure the House ad­ journed. THE resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Plumb to prevent the sale of spirituous, vinous, and malt liquors in tho Senate wing of the Capitol was laid before tho Senate on the 21st, the pending questions being on Mr. Blair's amendment to add the words, "And drinking," and 011 Mr. Butler's amendment directing a daily search for liquors in com­ mittee rooms and other apartments. Mr. Gibson suggested jokingly tho exten­ sion of the amendment so as to direct the search of Senator's desks. Mr. Plumb objected to both amendments as cal­ culated to belittle the resolution, which ho had offered seriously and iti deference to public opinion. After debate the matter went over until the 22d. In the House the compound lard bill was taken up. Mr. Allen (Mich.) supported the bill. The agi­ tation of this question had been provoked by the careful, thoughtful action of tho farmers In their various assemblies and or­ ganizations. Whether they were right or wrong they called for it. It was not true that this bill in any way, shape or form affected the men who produced cotton-seed oil. The evidence of Falrbank & Co. and of experts all over tho country was to the effect that cotton-seed oil was superior to hog's lard. If that were so it was ab­ surd that a tax of two mills a pound would prevent the people who desired to use com­ pound lard from purchasing that article. If It was true, as stated by Mr. Falrbank, that compound lard could be made of 20 per cent, of lard and 80 per cent, of cotton-seed oil why not brand it as "cotton-seed oil com­ pound?" Why attach the word "lard" to It? It was done for the purpose of selling the commodity as "lard" and by so doing defrauding the farmers of the market which they would otherwise possess. No vote was taken on the bill. (reoi its mouth to tho first lock. itories without foundation. NEW THINGS IN JEWELRY. Silver gilt sugar-sifters for bridal presents have the bows in fine repousse work.
