A passenger 1 train on the Macon branch of the ? Southern railway ran into a wash out one and a half miles north of ' McDonough, Ga., last night and ' was completely wrecked. The wreck caught fire and the entire | train with the exception of the sleeper was destroyed. Every 1 person on the train, except the 1 occupants of the Pullman car, ' perished. Not a member of the train crew escaped. Thirty-five people in all were killed. 1 CAU8E OF THK CATASTROPI1K. 1 Macon, Ga., June 24?A.Gordon Jones, superintendent of the Southern railway, said of the do- 1 plorable a flair : < "It can onlv be explained as 1 one of the inscrutable acts of < God. It seems that it was the ' result of a terrific rain storm or i cloudburst, something similar to ( that which caused the Johnstown < flood. "The accident occurred at a deep, narrow creek, which had become so suddenly and so com- , pletely filled that the volume of water carried such weight as to wash out masonry of stone and brick from under the trestle whi. h spanned the stream. Mr. Griffith, supervisor of tracks, was on the engine of the wrecked train, and if there had been a break in the track he or the engineer or fireman would hnvo seen it. The masonry supporting the track must have been washed out, leaving the track itself intact, so that the men, being unconscious of anything amiss, allowed the train to rush in on the unsupported track which resulted in the fatal crash. "Flagman Quinlin, in complio n n/k m i t U t U ha/? it ? om rv* a U * ? miiv/v n itu tuo i oij uu tuiiuii to wt Alio position, was on the rear car of the train. As soon as he could extricate himself from the wreck he crawled up the embankment and in spite of his injuries walked back to McDonougb, the nearest station announced the , accident which had happened. It is but due to Mr. Quinlin to say that he acted with great promptness and heroism in spite of grave obstacles. Fortunately a freight train was standing on the r track at McDonough and it wag impressed into service so that 1 within 15 minutes atter the rail- t road company was notified of the ] accident assistaace wan at hand . and everything possible was done for the relief of those who were * still alive." t In answer to the question ^ about when the bridge would be replaced and trains be running again Mr. Jones said : i "Nearly all the material nec- j essary to replace the bridge in on the ground, and within 24 hours 1 after the material is in place the ( bridge will be completed and t trains running again. The depth of the ravine over which the bridge passes is so great as to require 50 feet piling and, we did f not have any that length in stock, j The piling has been supplied, however, and was on its way to the place when the down passen- 1 ger train from the scene of the accident arrived at Macon." FLAW MAN'S STOKY. Flagman Quinlin said tonight: ( "I was sitting in the front end j of the sleeper (liraldo, and had t hardly gotton settled when the 1 crash came. There was no warn- ; ing for the others, but 1 suddonly f noticed that the air brakes had,' been turned on with a ierk I ! 1 knew an quick aa thought that \ aomething waa wrong. But be- i fore I could think agan 1 waa jammed into the corner and a great pile of aomething fell on J me. I fought to got looae from my pinninga, but could not aee a thing. It was aa dark and ailent aa a grave. I turned my head in all directiona and finally I saw a place that aeemed lean dark than ( the reat of my aurroundingg. I half Rwatn and half crawled to that place. It proved to he the I upper rear end of the car. I got < on top of the coach. I found that ( one of my lantorna was the only ( light atill burning anywhere. %vNo gooner had I secured my lantern than I made my plana to , go back up the road and Hag the , freight, which I knew wan behind us, The tracks on which we had . been running were fully r?0 or (>oj TEP^ 8EMI-WI LANCASTER, S.

EDNE8DAY, JUNE S WHEAT GONE KITING. lad Crop Reports Cause ail Ad vauee of 22 Cents a Bushel. Chicago, June 23.?July wheat oday closed at 88 cents, the lighest price of the recent ad ranee, 4ic. higher than yesterday md more than 12 cents higher han the close last Saturday. The jit was in a tumult of excite nent. Wheat in lots which would twamp the ordinary elevator vere shitted about with the tin ioncern which a house wife shows n tossing a handful of corn to a lock ol chickens. The trade was tiorinous and fluctuations cer ainly were more than anything ince the Loiter deal. The ad ranee was caused by continued lot, dry weather in the north vest and further reported dele ioration in the already practf sally ruined crops of the Dakotas md Minnesota. These States aised 200,000,000 bushels last rear and today the estimate was or 75,000,000 bushels. More of he present weather will reduce hat estimate. Liverpool, our hief foreign market, quoted an idvance from yesterday equal to t cents per bushel here, and also [noted flour one shilling higher. This means to the public a rise if $1.00 to $1 25 per barrel in ho price of flour. Towards 12 I'clock wheat suddenly dropped iff again, reaching 012 on the nidday curb, under renewed leavy realizing. The crop news rotn the northwest today was exceedingly bad; estimates are leing cut down in the daily re rnrts; in some sections crops leem almost a complete failure In advance of 211c. during e jast 19 days there have been no ividence of manipulation, con rary to the speculative proverb hat "the market only advances m manipulation; its natural :ourse is downward.1' It has been the most remarka >lo rise in the history of the ex hange. ^I/yramiders" have had ivery thing their own way, be ause there lias been scarcely a etback since the market crossed 0 cents. No failures have reulted. There was an extraordilarily small short interest at the >eginning of the advance and his was hastily covered. Foriigners had hedged against cash tuft' in this market, but of course his kind of shortage entailed no inancial loss. Stories of big winnings are hick about the exchange and no uoh wave of prosperity has vis ted the commission men in a lecade. For the satisfaction of those vho may be in fear of starvation, t may also be stated that the risibte supply of wheat in the niblic granaries of the (Inited states exceeds 45,000,000 bush ?ls. These are grains of comfort eft to the hears, who have the issurance that every month in he year records a wheat harvest n some country of the globe. But, at present a sort of "bull ever" is running high and the Chicago wheat pit is flooded by elegraphic orders from every >artofthe world to "buy, buy, )uy!" It is noted that of 34 great batles, 12 were fought on Sunday, lix on Thursday, five on Wednes lay, two on Friday, while Monday Tuesday and Saturday claim hree apiece. Among the Sunday )attles were Waterloo, Idkerman ind the fall of Delhi ; Oraveiotte i nil ( imiln rma to ha nnannrl /\ n ??iu \'iu\iui iiihu un ^'puuuu was rhuraday ; Tel-el Kebir, the bat le of Alma and Kalaklava came >n Wednesday ; Trafalgar was aon on Tuesday, Sebastopol on Friday, and the battles of Maren ;o and Abu Klea wore fought on Saturday.
