' I [ YALPABAISO CAPTUM Balmaceda’s Army Rooted by the Insurgents. The Demoralized Government Troops Fleeing to Santiago. The war in A dispatch from Washington say. : first official news from the seat of vi Chili reached the State Dspartment this evening, in the shape oT a dispatch from the United States Consul at Valparaiso. Its contents put a new and surprising face on the contest which has been carried on for the last six months or more between the Gov- erarnent of President Balmaceda and the so- called Congressional party. According to the statement of the American Consul at Chili’s chief seaport, that city, the most im portant in the Republic, has' fallen into the bands of the Congrewonal army, and Bal- tnaceda's forces have sustained a defeat which is almost certain to prove fatal to the Government cause. The Congressional army, which boldly landed north of Valparaiso a few days ago, seems to have crushed the forces with which Balmaceda and his Generals hastened to the defence of that city; and the victorious Congressional troops, after a bard straggle, are now in possession of the great port on whose control the main tenance of a Government at Santiago, only thirty miles distant, absolutely de pends. Consul McCreery’s dispatch to the State Department is unequivocal as to the outcome of the battle between the Con gressional ists and the Balmacedists, and the subsequent surrender of Valparaiso. Here is what be sends to the State Department by the cable line, which apparently has just been reopend: “Valparaiso.—Battle fought near this city this morning. Government forces badly beaten. Heavy losses both sides. City sur rendered to Opposition, but in band of Ad mirals American, German, French and English fleets for good order. No commu nication from Santiago. Ooposition forces now entering the city. McCreert.” Mr. Julio M. Foster, who is assisting the . -jtv, received _j New York: Valparaiso in our power. Viva Chili. Trumbdll.'” The sender is Richard Trumbull, one of the Congressional agents, who is now under Indictment for violation of the neutrality laws in connection with the equipment of the Itata. An hour after the despatch from Mr. Trumbull came to hand the following des patch from Mr. Viel. the confidential agent of the insurgent party at Lima, Peru, and addressed to Mr. Pedro Montt, the principal Congressional envoy in this city.* was re ceived at the headquarters of * the party here; “Triumph complete. Valparaiso surren dered.” The Chilian rebellion began in January. There had been a struggle for many months between President Balmaceda and the majority in Congress, each charging the other with unconstitutional con duct. The President dissolved Con gress; thereupon the majority of Congress went on board the fleet, which hoisted the banner of insurrection. The army remained faithful to Balmaceda. The fleet took possession of Iquique, in northern Chili, and made that city headquar ters of the insurgent forces, with Montt, Silva and Barros Luco as a governing junta. The most interesting naval engage- ment of the war was the destruction by tor pedoes of the insurgent flagship Blance En- calada. Owing to intervening descent and mountains. Iquique was safe from land at tack, and up to the present expedition against Valparaiso there bad been no important land engagement. Before the rebels started for Valparaiso, or, to give the exact landing place, Vina del Mar, they gave commissions in their forces to a number of adventurous Englishmen and Americans of some military experience. Upon their first attack at Vina del Mar upon the Balmaceda army of about 12,000 men, the in surgents were repulsed, and upon this fact the Balmacedists caused to be tele graphed throughout the world the state ment tliat the insurgenftmAhaeii cnmnletelv THE NEWS EPITOMIZED, Eastern and.

The market for ball players is becoming glutted. Chicago’s new pitcher, Nicol, is quite a batsman. Shannon has taken charge of the Wash ington team. Bennett, of the Boston League Club, has been catching since 1876. In Boston they think Strieker is the quick est man now playing ball. Dennt, once the king of third basemen, has been released by Cleveland. It interferes with most baseball players’ good work to be captain of a team. Dalrvmple, who once led the League batters, is hitting harder than ever. Hamilton, of Philadelphia, leads the League in batting and base running. Sutcliffe, of the Washingtons, leads the country in batting. He has an average of over .400. Galvin, of Pittsburg, has bean pitching ball since 1874, and never knew what it was to have a lame arm. Louis Bierbauer, Captain and second baseman of the Pittsburgh League Club, has asked for his release. Baseball has taken a strong hold on the Caban public. There are over seventy-five< clubs in that little island. There is trouble in the New York team and Connor and Glasscock want their re-' leases. They don’t like Ewing. Anson, of Chicago, is generally very" lucky in his “finds.” His last, Vickery andi Shriver, apparently are one of his luckiest. Despite the Rusie-worship of the New Y'orkers, John Ewing, when in condition, is the most effective pitcher in the New York team. The New York Club has signed Pitcher Arthur Clarkson, late of the New Haveni Club. He is a brother of the famous John' Clarkson. Browning, of Cincinnati, has lined ’em, out this year in great style, and now holds; third highest place in the batting list of the National League. The quickest game on record was played' ■ at Albany, N. Y., the other day. It took! j only twenty-seven minutes. Five innings' ; were played when rain interferred. Two years ago, three pitchers did all the twirling for the New York team, and did it! effectively, too; but now It has six pitchers and the management is groping after more. Welch, of the Baltimores, still maintains; his reputation as one of the greatest centre- fielders ever seen on a ball field. Some of the' catches made by him in Boston were of a phenomenal character. Boston’s Association team have now a string of heavy hitters in Brouthers, Duffy, Farrell, Joyce, Richardson and Brown that will compare favorably with that of any seven men in any club of the League or As sociation. Harry Wright, of Philadelphia, has some unique ideas about handling his pitchers. He makes all of them put the ball over the plate and inveighs against bases on balls. He insists upon speed and makes a particular point about watching base run ners. Freeman, the phenomenal left-hander re cently signed by the Washingtons, is proba bly the youngest pitcher in the professional ranks to-day. Before he was signed by the Washington team he had pitched but twenty- four games, and had not yet reached his twentieth year. “Mike” Kelly of the Boston Association team, has signed a contract to play with the BostA League Club the remainder of this it'-and of next season. This contract calls for a salary of $5000 per annum and an addi - tional sum in case of the success of the club. Kelly said he was to receive $22,500 from the gue. Ok all the playets who have talked about quitting only two have made their words good by retiring from the diamond when there was an engagement in sight. They are McCormick and Sunday. The magnates that drew them away from the diamond differ widely. McCormick went to the race track and Sunday to the pulpit. national league record. BrMjpes, Dams and Tracks Swept Away In Pennsylvania. Great damage was done to property in Pennsylvania by a storm, and mnch fear wai occasioned, but fortunately no lives were re ported lost. Conternation reigned at the Bowman Evangelical Camp Meeting near Mohrsville, Penn. Lightning struck a number of trees, and some of them falling came dangerously near crashing upon tents. A regular stream of water rushed through the woods and car ried awav bedding and furniture. Near Wernersville, Penn., on the Lebanon Valley branch of the Reading Railroad, just after the engine of a freight train passed over a culvert In safety, the pulvert was washed away and the entire train of ten cars plunged into the culvert and were car ried off. August Kobn, a tramp stealing a ride, had a leg broken and his arm injured. Over one-third of a mile of track was washed away. Another culvert at Fritztown, Penn., on the Reading and Columbia Railroad.between Reading and Lancaster, was washed away. At Mohrsville, Penn., eight dams, each half an acre to an acre in extent, were washed away and the hat factories and mills will be unable to resume until the dams’ breasts have been rebuilt. The bridge and three piers of the Reading and Southwestern Railroad Company at Hendelton, Penn., were carried away, and a mile of ite track belonging to Daniel Riegel, John Mogle and William F. Koller. were destroyed by lightning. The loss is $10,000. The breast of the big dam at the Robeso- nia furnace, which furnishes Robesonia, Penn., with water, broke and gardens, fences, vegetables gardens and roads were all washed out and trees uprooted. Over 300 feet of the Reading Railroad Company’s track near Robesonia Station was carried away. The storm in Northern Lancaster County, Penn., was the heaviest in sixty year?. Seven bridges, a number of buildings, sheds and fences were washed away and many cattle were drowned. At Millway an im mense oil tank was carried 100 feet. Half a mile of track of the Reading and Columbia Railroad at Denver was washed away. HUM) FROM A BRIDGK STARTED OPT TO KILL, Two Men Slain and One Wonnded by a Father and Four Sons. Milton Kendall and his four sons—George, Lamar, Popsey and Milton—went into Georgetown, Ky., on a recent morning for the purpose of killing their nearest neighbors, John James and Burrill James. They succeeded in killing John, mortally wounding Burrill, at the same time killing John A. Montgomery, Coroner of Scott County. The Kendalls went that morning to the house of widow James, which is six miles from Georgetown and within half a mile of their own. They accused Burrill James of having robbed their watermelon patch and said they intended killing the entire James family. As they were armed the James boys ran away. John James swore out warrants for the Kendalls and they were arrested but gave bail to appear that day for trial. On the trial morning the James boys ar rived in Georgetown first. About 10.30 o’clock John James went to a barber shop where he had left his rifle and secured the weapon. As he stepped out the door young Milton Kendall, who was standing within thirty feet, shot him through the right lung. He was carried into a back room whither Milton and George Kendall tried to follow him for toe purpose of fin ishing him. The barbers begged them not to shoot any more and they left. Burrill James had in the mean time run into John Montgomery’s hardware store to get a gun, but old man Kendall saw him, and fired, killing Mr. Montgomery. Overtaking Burrill James at the back door, the elder Kendall fatally shot him with his pistol immediately over the heart. He then joined his sous near the Court House, and together they defied arrest for half an hour, finally giving up their arms and going to jail. All the parti^P^e well connected. Old man Kendall hx been a magistrate, and was for years Chairman of the Democratic Com mittee of Scott County. Won. Lott. ct.

Charles Bryant, one of the noted Dalton gang of train robbers, who was captured the other day in the Cherokee Strip by Deputy United States Marshal Ed. Short, was shot and killed by his captor after he had fatally wounded Snort. The duel occurred on a Rock Island train, on which Short had placed his prisoner, intending to take him to Wichita, Kan. He placed Bryant in the baggage car, going outside to guard against eny attempt at rescuo. He left a revolver with the baggageman for protection. The baggageman laid the revolver down and Bryant soon secured it. As the train was slowing up at a station he opened the door of the car an! immedi ately began firing at Short, who was on the platform, a bullet going through Short’s Dody. Short returned the fire and gave Bryant a death wound. Short was also mortally wounded, but both men kept on firing until their weap ons were emptied. Bryant was the first man to drop, and he fell head foremost down the steps. Short caught him by the leg and held him with bis head almost touch ing the ground. He called to the conductor, and when he got to him, he said: “I have got him. Jim, and he has got me.” The prisoner was dead when picked up, and Short died in 1 en minutes. THEY “PLAYED JAIL,” Ami Smothered Three Children in a Little Iron Box. The mystery surrounding the recent trag edy in which the children of Mr. and Mrs. George Hamillon, of Ironton, Ohio, were found smothered to death in a chest in whi h they had been fastened has been cleared up. William Warnick, a playmate of the Hamilton children, admitted to his mother that Kirche Gurliche and a boy named Pem berton. together with himself, while “play ing jail,” locked the children in the chest, and being called to supper shortly afterward forgot to let them out. When told that Warnick had confessed the boys told the same story. The mothers of the children are crazed with grief, but it is not likely anything will be done in the mat ter as none of the boys is over eiKht years old. CABINET MINISTER KILLED. The English Postmaster-General Struck by Lightning. The British Postmaster-General, the Right Hon. H. C. Raikes, is dead. Mr. Raikes, who was just recovering from an indisposi tion, went out walking in London, when he received a severe electric shock during a thunder storm. He was immediately taken to his home and medical assistance promptly submitted. Ill ness, however, had so exhausted the Post master-General tnat his strength was insuf ficient to enable him to meet the sudden anik terribly exacting demand thus made upon it.* PEASANTS STARVING. Many Russians Compelled to Eat Grass and Leaves. The Prince of Wales is taking great inter est in the matter of the persecution of the Hebrews in Russia, and in the condition of those who are coming to England. The Princess of Wales is co-operating with him. A clergyman living at present in the Prov ince cf Kazcn, Russia, has written a letter in which he gives a harrowing description of the sufferings of the unfortunate peas ants of that province, brought on by the failure of the crops. Large numbers of them, he says, are in an absolute state of starvation. Many have been unable to obtain bread for weeks, and in their ef forts to sustain life they have been compelled to eat grass and leaves. In one of the vil lages of the province, consisting of 140 houses, the clergyman visited all the peasants. Here were found sixteen persons in a terri bly emaciated condition, and slowly and painfully dying from starva tion. Of ail the residents of the houses only twenty were found eating ordinary food in a quantity sufficient to keep them alive. In other villages there was a similar state of destitution and distress. In all of them numbers of persons were found either dead or dying from starvation. There is no immediate prosperfc of any betterment in the condition of the peasantry, and it is feared that, driven on by the pangs of hunger, they will attempt to gain food by any means, lawful or unlawful. There ia much excitement throughout the province among the poorer classes, and an outbreak may occur at any time. The wine and raisin crops in southern California are the largest for three years. The raisin grapes are loaded with' fruit. — 1 05 90 92 75 78 — <3 47 35 @ 3^ 65 @ 70 55 @ 65 .25 & 6.30 19 @ 23)* 16K<3 21 13 18 14>* 7 4 @ 7 6 8 IS 18)* THE MARKETS. 85 NEW YORK.

A dispatch from Statesville, N. C., says. The most terrible railroad disaster that has ever happened in North Carolina oc curred on a recent morning at Boston’s Bridge, which crosses Third Creek, two miles west of this place. The westbound passenger train on the- Western North Carolina Railroad (No. 9), which had passed Statesville on time (at 1:4J a. M.), was hurled from the bridge, a dis tance of about 100 feet, the engine, tender, baggage and second-class car, the first-class coacb, the Pullman car and the private car of Superintendent Bridge all going down into the creek. The train was composed of a baggage and mail car, second and first class coaches. Pull man sleeper, and Superintendent Bridge’s private car. Daisy. The sleeper, which was from Goldsboro, usually contains a good number of passengers from Northern points, and last night was no exception. The run to Statesville was made on time, a distance of twenty-five miles, but just af ter leaving Statesville there is a high stone bridge spaning Third Creek, and down into this creek plunged the entire train. a distance of at least sixty-five feet, wrecking the whole train and carrying death and destruction with it. Twenty passengers were killed octright, nine seriously injured, and about twenty badly bruised and shaken up. The scene at the wreck was awful. The night was dismal, and to add to the horror of the situation, the water in the creek was up. It was only through the heroic efforts of those who had hurried to the scene of the wreck that the injured were not drowned. The accident was caused by the spreading oi the rails. The bridge was not injured and trains are running on schedule time. Twenty dead bodies are now lying in a warehouse at (Statesville. The injured are having the best of care at private houses and hotels. A drummer named George brawley, from Atlanta, and one or two other passengers who made their way from the wreck anve, came to town and gave the news of the dis aster. The town was soon aroused and citizens and vehicles hastened to the scene of: the wreck and began the work of rescue. Some of the passsngers had crawled from the car windows, and were perched on the tops: The cars were cut open, and as many of the passengers as could be found were dragged out dead, dying and some alive and others mortally injured. By daylight 2000 people were on the ground. The dead and injured were brought to town, the injured comfortably quartered at the hotel and private houses, wnere they could receive medical aid. The dead were laid side by side in a long row on the floor j of a large tobacco warehouse, where the bodies were identified and tagged. It was impossible to say on the morning after the acident how many were killed and drowned. Up to twenty-five minutes past five o’clock twenty dead bodies had been taken from the wreck and the second class car had not been reached, which is partially under the water. Twenty-five is not an overestimate of the number killed. Dr. Sikes, who was killed, had just been assigned to missionary work in China, and was to have left for that country on Septem ber 26 next. He was married. The Moores, who were killed, are promi nent in literary and social circles, and are well known throughout the South. They were returning from a summering in the Blue Mountains. The train fell from the north side of the track. The engine lies on the embankment on the west side of the creek, the first class car on top of the second class and Superin tendent Bridge’s car partially covers the sleeper. It is supposed that as the engine was run ning forty miles an hour on down grade. It . struck the bridge and the rails spread.
