A RAILROAD HORROR, oTw Trains Carrying A Big Cirens Come Together. TWENTY-THREE PEOPLE KILLED As Masy More Badly inoiared. MonIie or the' Aninmals, Iifled Also. Horrible Spectacle in the Grey Dawn. Wallace Brother's circus was wreck ed in the Grand Trunk yards at Der rand. Mich., Friday morning and twenty-three men mostly employees of the circus, including a few of the per formers, were killed outright. Twenty more were injured, some fatally. The show was traveling in two sections over the Grand Trunk tracks from Lansing to Lapere, and the accidei.t it is said, was caused by the failure of the second section of the train to stop on time. The two sections were travel ing near each other, and the second ran into the first at full speed. Ti e loss to the circus people will be heav;. Some of those killed and injured were railroad people attached to the train, including Trainmaster J. Mc Carthy of the Grand Trunk. The wrcckage of the engine and four cars was strewn about and piled high, while the shrieks of the injured and the bellowing of the frighiened ani imals could be heard above the biss of e-caping steam and the excited shouts of the rescuers. It was hours before the injured were rescued from the wrecked cars. Some of them are in terrible agony and it is feared that seven more will die. The wreck according to the state ment of the engineer of the second section. was caused by the failure of the air brakes to work. It was 3:45 o'clock when the tirst section pulled into the west end of the Grand Trunk yards here. A red light was hung on the rear car ti stop the second see ti(n. Engineer Propst of Battle Creek, who was running the engine of the rear train, says he saw the light and applied the air brakes. To his borrow they refused to work. He re versed his engine, but the momentum of the train behind was too great and, with a crash that aroused all the town near the yard, the two trains met. Three cars of the stationary first section were talescoped, and the -en gine and tive Lars of the moving train were demolised. the rear car of the dirst section, the caboose in which the trainmen were sleeping and the next two, tilled with sleeping circus em ployees. The greatest loss of life was in the caboose. One of the wrecked cars of the second section was occu pied by five elephants and several cam els. One elephant and two camels were killed outright, while the other animals and their trainers escaped. With the exception of this car, none of the menagerie were wrecked, the -other demolished cars containing can vas or wagons and there was compara tively little excitement among the wild animals. As soon as they recov ered from the first shock the trainers rushed among the cages, quieting the few beasts tbat were excited. rThe escaping steam and the screams and cries of those pinned in the wreck made a horrifying situation in the gray of the early morning, when the trainmen in the yards and the aroused towns-people first reached the scene. Many feared at first that some of the menagerie had escaped as some of the animais could be heard. All available drays and wagons in the vicinity were used for ambulances, and for several hours after the accident these was a steady procession of the extemporized ambulances from the scene of the ac cident in the railroad yards to the -Hotel Richelieu. The dining room of the hotel was used as an operating room by the surgedns. A score of wives and daughters of rescuers vol unteered as nurses and w.vorked with the surgeons all the morning. More than twenty of the injured were fastened and pinned down in the wreckage, so that they had to be chopped and pried out. It was late in the morning before all had been ex tricated and removed to the hospital. All of the animal cars were nnloaded, and the cages removed to neighboring field, where the animals could get air and quiet down after the excitement. - AN OHIO MOB After a Black Brute and Bent on Lynching Him St Clairiville, Ohio, a small city in Belmont county, was thrown -into a panic Thursday evening when it be came known that a terrible outrage had been prepetrated on Mrs. M. Ei. Stowe, one of the most prominent and highly respected residents of the town who was criminally assulted by a young negro lawyer. Trhe woman had been out for a walk during the afternoon and remamied later than she had anticipated. A bout 9 o'clock she started for her home, the route extending through a lonely tract of woods. When within 200 yards of her home, she was seized by the negro and thrown to the grown. She made a brave but unsuccessful struggle for her honor. When the woman regained consciousness, her pitiable scream attracted the atten tion of passers, who rushed to her assistance. SShe was taken to her home where she told of the brutal outrage. A posse formed of the most prominent citizens of the county, was organized and set out in pursuit of the negro, who escaped to the weeds. The en raged mob is~ fully armed and bent on lynching the brute when he is apprehended. Mrs. Stowe is in a crit ical condition as the result of her aw ful experience. Her assailant is a well-known negro, C. E. Burns, who has been practicing law in that vicinity. A repor-t receiv ed late Thursday night states that the blodhounds have scented the trail -and the chase is being pursued with renewed vigor. THER~E is a concern in Augusta, Ga., known as the Washington Loan Company that is somewhat high in its rate of interest.

The damages from the Western ods were greater than first reported, ys The New Orleans Times-Demo it: In summing up the totals some ne ago, the figures were placed at 0.000,000, the greater part of which curredl in the larger towns, particu ly Kansas City and Topeka. We !re told that'the railroad losses are all. mutch smaller, than originally :i mated. It seems, however, tha't these imates were only of the damage ne to the railroads in the towns, ere their depots were flooded and er tracks badly washed, and did t take into account the railroad in y in the rural districts. The rail id companies at their central oflices, ist of which are located in New rk, have been liguring on their ses. This is easily done, because a railroad auditors have the bills ore them to be paid, and can figure t the cost to a cent. They have t done so as yet for all the lines, t such figuring as has been done ts the cost of the iloods the extra hinary expenditures which the rail ds, have been compelled to make er and above the maintenance irges at $20,000. 000 or about $2,000 rmile, for the 10,000 miles of track ected. This is only the positive c actual damage caused and does t include any losses suffered through interruption of traitic or the pros :tive losses likely to result from a luced grain tonnage-two items it uld be very ditlicult to calculate th any degree of accuracy. As the m and town damage, independent the losses to the railroads, was put servatively at $20,000,000, this uld make the total cost of the flood ),000.000 for the West alone -the ntry above Cairo: the losses along Slower Mississippi being much less. Phe damage will be a strong argu *nt in favor of such improvements the Federal government as will vent similar disasters in the future: the total of losses is greater than ~vould cost to give the people of the lands complete protection from shets and overihows.

A circular addressed to e the white Republicans by Republican leaders calls for an abandonment of the party, on the ground that under a Roosevelt it is so identitied with ne a groism that a white man can not be long to it. The objection to Roose velt given in the address are as fol lows: "The Republican party, which un der the late lamented and martyred McKinley. was making every effort to break down sectional prejudices and build up a respectable white party in Louisana, which would have com mand the same degree of respect that e. the Whig parey did in ante-bellum days, a party which would have been true to the principles of protection and would have earnestly desired to prot(ct Southern agricultural in terests from foreign slave, codle and peon competition, has now fallen iotio the hands of a violent reactionary, whose idea of statemanship is to sub vert the policy of his predecessor and whose consuming vanity and egotism * will soon earn for him the title of 'Party Buster' as well as "Broncho Buster.' e. "It is manifest to all who are not wilfully blind that the negrophilism of the President, whose social equility dinings with Booker Washington, g. whose appointment of the negro Crum to the collectorship of the ancient Southern port of Charleston, where there were a score of white Republi cans who would have oeen acceptable to the business element, simply be cause he was a negro and after this. after partaking of the whole souled hespitality of leading citizens of Charleston; his arbitrary closure of the Indianola postoffice, where he n. was trying to force a negress on the people as postmistress, although she did not want it and voluntarily resign ed, because, as she said, she knew she was not wanted, and being a woman of sense and wealth did not care to remain in a position where she was personal non grata; his hysterical and m- petty malice in this affair, stamp Roosevelt either as a negrophile fana tic whose views are repugnant to I every free horn American and a dead ly Insult to ever Southern born man, es- or as a demagogic politician playing for the negro vote that holds the ill balance of power in Ohio, Indiana and le New York. es- "In either case the results are the same, and are having the effect, North n- and South, of' inciting negrces to crime, with the consequent lynchings rg as daily occurrences, and leading them to aspire to an equality that the Al n- mighty never intended them to have, and which in the end is going to re sult in a train of evils that it will take a generation to rectify. "Under McKinley there was no in negro question; under Roosevelt it is a black cloud that looms up ominous ly and .threatens an approaching cy clone. gs "No self respecting Southern Re publican who loves his race, his home >or the principles of his party can lon ger affiliate with a party that stands le. for social equality with the negroes. 1ll. It matters not what his views on le. economic questions may be." THE RACE ISSUE. e.Republican Fear it May Lose Thern Indiana and illinois. An In'diana Democrat of national prominence would be recognized by every politician, makes rather a re markable statement. In discussing the value of the-negro vote in those State he said: ..- "You would be surprised to know that there is likelihood of the negro vote in Indiana and Illinois, which has been assured to the Republicans . by President Roosevelt's course, being offset by the loss -of white Republican votes. That is, however, a fact, aris ing out of the existing race prejudice in those States. "No one can have failed to observe ,. the state of public sentiment against the colored, race in Indiana and Illi enois. It is more proriounced in Indiana Sbut is bad enough in Illinois. I am afraid it is growing worse every day, and no one knows where it will stop. "Now we are begining to observe a sentiment among the whites, on the political phase of the situation, simi lar to that of the Southerners. The Republican party is being looked upon as the party of the negro, is being deserted by white Republicans who share the race prejudice. "That feeling is especially noticea ng ble in the small towns,and crops out In 'ed the municipal elections. It is a ques ig- tion how far that feeling will extend, nd but it is growing and will have its ep weight in future elections. The Re d. publican managers,in order to recognize en the negro vote, place negro candidates id on the tickets for minor ottices. That rs result in a hue and cry from the Ite Democrats that it is a negro ticket, y. and local pressure is brought to bear ew to keep men from voting it who are fe known to entertain feeling on the race ty question. ie "My statement may be received d. with incredulity in the North. But c- nothing impossible in a community >m where the race feeling is so strong n that a caterer from a neighboring to town employed to serve a banquet, is ed forbidden to bringr his negro waiters in vn for one night, and the waiters are it- driven out of town with actual vio i- lence." Cow Ate His Money. n While working on the Cleveland and ," Pittsburg railroad at Macedonia, Ohio, ;s' Uontractor Frank Wise hung his vest he on the fence on a lot belonging to us Frank Green. a prominent farmer. In [r. the pocket of the vest was a purse ncontaining $85. A wandering cow of at depraved appetite spied it and ate the rdi vest and the contents, but fortunately en Wise discovered the cow in the act, be purchased the animal of Green for $50 and sold her to a local butcher for $25. The cow was slaughtered immediately .r- and a search resulted in the recovery at of the money to the value of $75, y- which was yet In such condition that 3e it could be redeemed. ct A man who lives at Oyster Bay, e directed some profane and abusive id language at the president while he was on his way to church. and the:i ,swearer, was hustled away uncere-| ta moniously by secret service officers. ie The national convention of the Peoples party at Denver, Col., last week passed a resolution not to unite with either of the old parties but to g ng it alone. A ROMANTIC CAREEL Speculatoi afid Hiisband i d hichess En&s Up as a Marine E. L. Dw7er, Former Chicago Million, aire, Anxious to Secure His Re lease from the Navy In Order to Degin Life' Over Again. Edward L. Dwyer, once a millionaire mine owner, promoter and bold specu lator in wheat, who startled even Chi cago by his daring. and who later mar ried a duchess worth inill'ins of dol lars, sailed into the Brooklyn navy yard the other day a marine on the United States transport Calgoa. Dressed in his natty sailor suit, his face bronzed by the Philippine sun, his muscles hardened by work, Dwyer koked little like a dashing speculator and husband of a duchess. Dwyer has been in the service of the United States since July 31, 1900, when penniless, disinherited by his aged wife, tired of wandering. he went to Harrisburg and enlis:ed in the ma-rine corps. The term of enlistment is three years, but Dwyer has influences at work in the uavy dcpartmer t, and there is little doubt that his early dis charge will be secured. Dwyer first attracted attention in 188e, then a member of the Chicago board of trade, by purchasing 1,000,000 bushels of wheat for future delivery without depositing margins. While in New York in 1894, representing west ern mining interests, hoe met the Duchess de Castelluccia, whose hus band had died only a short while be fore, leaving her a fortune estimated at $7,000,000. She was more than 40 years older than Dwyer, but he won her, end the two were married at Rock Ridge, Fla., January 29, 1895. The duchess died soon after the wed. ding, leaving the bulk of her fortune to her two children. Dwyer received $10.000. Dwyer then started on the road to financial ruin through speculation, and in May, 1899, he found himself pen niless. He filed a petition in bankrupt cv in New York, with liabilities of $252,055 and no visible assets. But Dwyer within a year had organized a ompany with a capital of $1,500,000 to develop silver mines in Zacatecas, Mexico. Apparently this scheme was not successful, and a year later he was again penniless. It was then that he enlisted and was assigned to servios in the Philippines. While Dwyer was in the Philippines be looked about him for favorable in .estments and he thinks enterprise there will open the way to fortune. It is said khat the bronzed marine will go back to the islands immediately upon receiving his discharge. REMAINS OF MONSTER BIRD. Valuable Discovery Made In Southern Part of Argentine Republie Larger Than the Dodo. Brief information of the discovery in Patagonia, or rather, of the south ernm part of the Argentine Republic, of part of the remains of. an extinct bird that, in size, outrivals any of the forms known to science, either living or extinUt, has just reached the chief ornthologist of the Smithsonian in stitution, who regards the discovery as one of the first importance. The details thus far received are to the effect that a scientific party explor ing along the eastern foothills of the Andes range unearthed from the strata of the tertiary age the skull of what they at first took to be a gigan tic bird of prey, but on subsequent examination they unearthed other parts that caused them to change their first view and reach the conclu sion that the bird must have been a water fowl. The size of this extinct bird, which the discoverers named the "phorarachis," is, according to the reports, something amazing, it having been at least a fourth larger than the "dodo" of Madagascar, a bird now ex tinct, but which until the finding of this Patagonian monster held first place for size in the list of birds liv ing and extinct. The government or nithologists are anxiously awaiting further details of this interesting dis covery. Amertean Cotton Output. The census bureau report issued to-day on the cotton ginned in the United States shows the crop of 190o to have been 10,486,148 commercial bales (bales as marketed) equivalent to 10,123,027 bales of the 500 pound standard or to 5,061,513,294 pounds. This is an increase of 840,174 com mercial bales, or more than eight per cent. in excess of the 1899 crop. Texas grew 34 per cent. of the en tire crop of 1900 and one-fourth of the world's crop of that year. Its crop increased 33 per cent. over 1899, the 1900 crop being 3,536,506 commer cial bales and the 1899 crop 2,658,555. East of the Mississippi production decreased. Students Sorry They Signed. Columbia university students are rebelling against the resolutions in regard to hazing they were made to sign by the faculty last spring, says the New York World. During the week, the various classes have met and decided to place stringent rules over the freshman body because of the cur tailment of the upper classnmen's priv ileges. President Seth Low, in an effort to forestall a repetition of last season's occurrences, has addressed a note to each of the undergraduate body i-o which he calls attention to the spirit aution mlbey signed and aska inued cooperation. Improvement of the Rhine. Germany is spending $3,000,000 on the improvement of the Rhine river be ow Strasburg. Cotton Futures. The Union 'Ilimes says "the remark able rise in the price of cotton and the wonderful success, temporarily at least, of the gambler Brown, who is said to be making millions, out of his speculations may cause many a young man to turn his mind to the cotton future snare. It is not the intention of the writer to preach a sermon on the sin of gambling. It is recognized by thoughtful people to be a very ugly sin, and the writer believes that the thoughtful people are right. But this is written to call attention to the danger in that kind of business. It is a horse that will eventually throw you albeit you may ride safely for many a day. It is a railroad that leads to a deep chasm, albeit the train may glide smoothly for many a mile. If a young man can find no better use for his spare money than investments in cotton futures he had better put it it in a good savings bank. If the peculation is made upon some other nan's money, money entrusted to rour care, then the reason is doubly trong for steering clear of tne cess mool of voice. The spirit of gambling ies at the base of many a young man's .nin. f you handle other people's BRYAN LECtt1ES EARPER3 t'.4itos. of Cdmngones ic:'iteises ta' Torsity President ior Hib Atti tUde Towara4 Yostg wiosMan. IV. J. BrVn, in his Comihnoner, lec tures I'resident Harper, of the Uni versity of Chicago, for, as he says, humiliating a prospective student, who asked Dr. Harper to neet her at the Chicago depot. Mr. Bryan rays: -Evi.dently Dr. Harpzr regarded this, request in the nature of lese ma jeste, for it appears that he gave this letter to the newspapers and tiese disemnin.ions of facts and fiction ha'e nade a vast amoun.t of noise concerning this simple request. "It would seem that PresIdent Harper was greatly shocked because this prospective student asked so em inent a man to meet her at the depot and assist her in reaching the col'ege. "Jt would have been vastly to Dr. Harper's credit had he simply detailed one of the subordinates, with whom he is plentifully supplied, to comply with this girl's request, or, if that was not possible, he might have so notified his correspondent." J. W. Gossard and A. Montgomery Ward. both well-known students of practical sociological problems, may back a movement to give to Chicago a hotel for workingmen similar to the Mills hotel in New York. The two men have not discussed the matter personally, but the subject was. broached to Mr. Gossard by John H. Bogue, representing Mr. Ward. "I have had such a hotel in mind for some time," said Mr. Gossard, "and I would like to go in with some capitalist and erect one, or I would head a stock company for the pur pose. Mr. Ward has found me in.the right mood for joining him if a hotel can be erected according to my ideas, gained from personal experience among the people whom such an in stitution would benefit. "In the first place, it should be situated in the downtown district, within the loop if possible. It should be at least 12 stories high and of .the most modern fireproof construction, and living could be had on both the American and European plans. On the American plan the highest price would be one dollar per day and on the European plan the lodging would be at the rate of about 20 cents per night. Every modern sanitary con venience would enter into the con struction; there would be a bath in every room, tubs in the higher-priced rooms and shower baths in the ret. The meals would be moderate in price and there would be two res taurants, one serving a vegetable diet only, the other a mixed diet. "There should be a free emplor ment agency, a free dispensary for the sick, and bath treatment rooms for those who are obliged to get the 'red licker' out of their systems before they can brace up. The vege tarian diet will be a part of the treatment. There will be provisions for laundry work, which will be done at a merely nominal rate. There should be bowling alleys and billiard tables, but no bar. "An important adjunct to the hotel would be the assembly-room, or an. -ditorium. Here should be carried on the Higher Practical Education so ciety meetings and the work that the society has been doing at the Joniee school all summer. The hotel should be under the auspices of the society. and be used to carry out its plan of work among those who need its help. I should give my personal attention to the management of the hotel and direct also the work of the Higher Practical Education society." SKATIN~G POND FOR CO-EDS. Prof. Crook, of Northwestern Unaiv. 'sity, Ha.. Scheme te Keep stu dent. is Evanston. Certain social distractions at North. western. university, at Evanston, It, of which there has been much com plaint by the parents of the students at the institution, may be stopped if the plans of Prof. Algie R. Crook to construct a skating rink materialize. Prof. Crook has announced his in-. tention of utilizing for the purpose the vacant half-block just north of Willard hall, the home of the co-eds. He would have the university author lties prepare the lots so that they may be flooded before cold weather. The concrete sidewalks would servo as banks for the pools on three sides. Fraternity men, who have heard of Prof. Crook's scheme, have offered to build seats for the skaters, and sug gest that each secret society build one and name it after the fraternfty. On account of the proximity of the lots to the dormitories the young women are taking kindly to the prop osition. They laugh at the sugges tion that it is a scheme to keep them away from the Chicago parks, where many of them go skating in the win ter. "American supremacy." In the new issue of the London Fortnightly Revievr there appears an anonymous article on "American Su premacy," says the New York Trib une, that is likely to attract much attention. The author considers the notion of Europe being overwhelmed by the boundless production of the United States a most fantastic fig ment of the imagination. Upon the new president's recognition of the limits of American supremacy, he argued, the commercial and political fortunes of the whole world may in no little degree depend. He goes on to show~ that England will make a bad mistake if she opposes the wishes of America in regard to the isthmian canal. Thle United States should hold the iron keys of the gate of the two oceans, and should have the power to close it against enemies. money let the gambling schemes of all kinds alone. The path may seem a shining one; to make money without honest work looks inviting and pleas ant. Do not be deceived. There is danger in tbe gambler's course." We commend this thoughtful article on gambling to the attention of some of our -young men, who we fear have entered upon the gamblers downward road to hell. The young man who deliberately enter upon the career of a gambler soonecr or later will become a social outcast, as no one will-trust him, not even those with whom he gambles. JUmDGE Townsend has recently decided in a Columbia case that the arrest of a person, by a policeman who did not see the misdemeanor, 1s illegal. Martin F. Percival brought suit for,false imprisonment, having been arrested and locked up by a policeman, who did not see him com mit the alleged unlawful act, and, upon demurrer, Judge Townsend held, as stated, that the arrest was illegal.
