THE ERIE FLYER WRECKED Two Persons Killed and Many Cars Smashed to SpY liters. Port Jervis, N. Y., Aug. 1.—Two trains were wrecked on the Erie liaih road as the result of a landslide one mile east of Lackawaxea. At first it was reported that several passengers on one of the trains were killed, but this proved to be unfounded. An Erie freight train, east hound, which turned over on tae westbound track, however, caused the death ol the fireman and engineer of a wrecked engine belonging to the • -slbonitd Chi cage express No. 7, the vestibule passenger train for Buffalo. At least twenty-five persons, the majority ot whom were passengers t a the express train, also were injured. Three persons still are missing and may be added to the list of dead. The wreck was preceded by a cloudburst and storm which tasted for twe hours. A section of the bank fell on the eastbound tracks directly in front of the freight train. Several trees went down with the rocks and the earth, and the freight cars and engine were turned over directly across the westbound tracks. Sixty freight cars constituted the train, though only twentytwo left the rails, and the wreckage was piled up on the westbound track? just as No. 7 Chicago express appeared, running at the, rate fifty miles an hour. The engine of the express train crashed into the wreck, and the baggage car, combination and buffet car and two Pullman sleepers were piled up on the tracks immediately in front of the wrecked freight cars. The first sleeper was split into two parts as a result of the accident, and the passengers were thrown thirty feet down a bank. Fire started at < ace, and foxu cars of No. 7 and nine cf the freight cars were burned. Several thieves from. Port Jervis, it is supposed reached the - cone of tin wreck on the relief train, ransacked the clothing of the passengers in the period of excitement. F. Yiew, a millinery decorator of No. 3 West Third street, New York, lost clothing containing $300 in bills and a gold watch P. S. Kilpatrick of Denver lost $100, a gold watch, a diamond pin and a diamond stud. It is not thought that any of the injuries are of a serious enough nature to prove fatal.

TOMORROW’S CONTEST What Some of Say About The Proposed Railroad. Tomorrow is the day that settles the question of a subsidy to the proposed 0. B. & T. H. railroad.

BOYCOTT pii. Gars of the Big Consolidated Company Are Said to Be Poorly Patronized. strikers are jubilant. Merchants, in Fear of Losing: Trade, Yield to the Request Made by the Union Men of the City. Business Men of All Classes, Refuse to Sell Goods to Those Who Patronize the Big Consolidated Lines—' Far-Reaching Effect of Striicers’ Latest Move. Cleveland. Aug. 2,—Now that order has been practically restored within the city the street railroad strike has resolved itself into a general boycott of the Big Consolidated Company and everybody who rides upon its cars. Apparently the strikers have the sympathy and active co-operation of all the labor organizations in the city, and not only are merchants being punished for riding on the tabooed cars, but they are warned against selling goods to persons who do ride, on threat of losing the trade of union men. Instances are given in which druggists have refused to sell medicine to persons who were accused of patronizing the Big Consolidated, and physicians have been boycotted for riding on the cars -while going to see their patients. The boycott is most severe on the small dealers who do business on streets that are populated largely by union men and their sympathizers. A ■number of these merchants have published advertisements offering rewards ranging from $25 to $500, for evidence that they or any of their clerks or relatives have ridden on the cars since the strike began, and a number of communications have been sent to the papers by physicians, grocers, butcher’s and others, protesting their innocence of the charge of having patronized the railroad company. As yet the big retail merchants have not felt, the effects of the boycott severely, though it is said some ot them have been requested to forbid their clerks to ride on the cars. Thousands of working people are going, to and from their homes in ’buses of every description, from huckster wagons to tally-hos, and in certain sections of the city the cars run with few passengers. The boycott of the troops aroused the Are of Adjutant: GeucvaV AU'no who declares that there is a State law to punish persons who interfere with the militia. There is one section of the statutes which provides a maximum penalty of $1,000 fine and six months’ imprisonment for every . person who tries to persuade or discourage a member of the National Guard from responding to a call for riot duty. General Axline says the boycott and the threat of certain employers to put on the blacklist those employes who turned out with the milk*! are covered by this law, and lie threatens to institute prosecutions against dealers if the boycott is continued.

The Louisville Courier Journal is supporting the Democratic state ticket of Kentucky, The Indiana dog tax law is the subject of general discussion in the State on account of the tremendqusVn umber of suits being tiled against owners of canines, who failed to pay the tax on them. Admiral Sampson says that the best training for a naval life is “hard'work from the very start.” This was his own lot, for his father was a day laborer, who sawed wood from house to house near Palmyra, N. Y., and the son began life by splitting and piling the wood his father sawed. The journalism that prevails at Columbus is peculiar. Each paper there has become a common scold, and snai Is and quarrels at one or all of the other papers day in and day out, world without end. They quarrel over anything They appear neyer so happy as when working themselves into a miserable state of ill-nature. If the people there like that kind of journalism we presume that is the kind of journalism they like. But it doesn’t speak well for a community. —Martinsville Democrat,

Dewey Took the Hint. Here is a mighty good story and probably a true one that Captain Couglan told at the Winfield meeting: Dewey sailed into Manila harbor, fought his battle, and then cut the cable. The Enlish admiral wanted to help him, but didn’t dare. But he thought that Dewey might take a hint. So the English admiral sailed over to and said: “Ah, I see you have cut a cable.” “Yes,” answered Dewey. “Which one?” asked the innocent English admiral. And then Dewey, knowing for the first time there were two cables, rust * u ack, grappled for the seooiKlcabl cu|it. ; S .itosKfjr. ■ ■ ‘ BTodm iogton township, Monroe county, which includes most of the city of Bloomington, has voted $55,000 subsidy to the proposed Columbus, Bloomington & Terre Haute Railroad.

Filirdnos Drivisn Back. Manila, Ang. 1. —The Filipinos made an unsuccessful attempt to recapture the town of Calamba, on the shore of Laguna de Bay, which the forces of Gen. Hall took last Wednesday afternoon. The natives numbered 2,400 men. The attack was made simultaneously from the north and south, the Filipinos apparently thinking that they ■would confuse the Americans by attacking from two points at once. ' It was not even necessary to employ the whole American force' to drive the Filipinos off. Two companies of the Twenty-first Infantry, a squadron of cavalry and one gun sufficed to i;ej/ se the attack from the north, while 400 men of the Washington regiment, comprising part of Gen. Hall’s command, and a detachment of cavalry drove off the enemy who had advanced from the south. The loss of the Filipinos is not known. The- American loss was onekilled and seven wounded.

Uncle Sain Will Resist, Washington, Aug. 1.—Any effort to a foreign power to interfere in Santo Domingo will he resisted by the United States. Any force to he used will he exerted by this country alone. The Monroe doctrine will he applied to Santo Domingo rigorously. It is not unlikely that other nations will send war ships to Santo Domingo to look after their interests there. German interests in the island, while not of great magnitude, are sufficient, it is said, to justify her in making a show of force. Great Britain, France, Denmark and Holland each have possessions in those waters. Great Britain and France especially, the two great naval powers of Europe, maintain large coaling and naval stations in the West Indies, and have colonies on the South American coast.

The outlook for the future is not promising for the toilers of the United States. Our cotton and wheat is priced on the gold standard in Europe thus giving the products of silver countries a great advantage over us. The overcapitalized trusts will force the wages of labor down and the price of products up in order to put value into their stocks. The Dingley bill will keep foreign goods cut of cur markets and the war tax will continue to bleed us at every turn.—National Watchman.

Out on Quincy street boycotting tactics are being worked with the result that families whose members have been riding on cars are unable to buy anything at the stores along the line. The storekeepers have entered into the plan of campaign with a willingness that in many cases reaches the point of enthusiasm. A committee of men, who said that they had the best interests of the Big Consolidated strikers at heart, called on one of the biggest retail houses in Cleveland, and asked the management to decline to sell goods to persons who ride on Big Consolidated cars while the strike is on. This same committee visited other down town merchants, it is said, with a like request. The Williams & Rodgers Co., one of the biggest department stores in the city, was notified that one of its employes had been riding on a Big Consolidated car. The Company replied by issuing an order to its employes instructing them not to ride on the cars of the company. May & Co.’s employes also refrain from riding on the Big Consolidated street cars. Harry Decker & Co., dry goods merchants of the west side, had an experience that illustrates well the situation. Members of this firm persisted in ridIngHn the street cars, it was said, and the result was that most of their trade left the house, and Mr. Decker sent $100 to the strikers’ Executive Board asking them to call the boycott off.

Who Cares lithe Old World Laughs. In speaking of the Philippine question at the Chicago meeting, W, J. Bryan said: “The Fillipinos came into our hands by accident of war, and coming into cur hands they must be dealt with according to European principle. They say that if we were to give those their independence other nations of Europe would laugh at us, “Are we afraid to be laughed at? Why, more than 100 years ago, when there were but 3,000,000 people in this country, our forefathers dared to give to the world a declaration at which the people of the old world laughed, but for which our people fought. V/hen the framers of the declaration of independence wrote among self-evident truths that all men are created equal, endowed with inalienable rights, that governments are instituted among men to secure these rights, deriving their just powers from the oresent of the governed, the people of the old word laughed. “But they didn’t laugh long. Because our forefathers maintained their declaration and far more ihan a century this republic has been the most potent factor in ail the world in influencing the destiny of the human race. “Shall we be ashamed to admit now that we believe in the declaration of independence? I repeat that we must deal with these people according to American principles. They desire their independence. Let us say to them, as we said to Cuba, ‘Stand up, be free!’ and then to all the world say, ‘Hands off, and let every republic live!’ “Tell me that we don’t know what to do? All we have to do is to read our nation’s history, to watch the nation as it traveled the pathway to lead from the little name of might to the lofty name of right, and then you can teli what this nation must do if it is true to the past.”
