Says He Was Cnuy. j Washington (Ind.) special: To a (-gentleman of unquestioned veracity, who has just returned from Jefferson1 fille, and who has known the murderer Stone all his life, Stone said he r.was crazy when he made his first Statement before the grand jury implicating the men Keys, Clark, Yarber, Cosby, "Williams, and White, and had been crazy ever since the murder. Stone r-a-id he was so wrought up over his hellish crime that when he made his first confession he was seized with a desire to implicate anyone who came in his mind. He stated that he had been crazy all along until the other day, and told the whole truth in his last confession, which ia generally r accepted by ' the people of this community. Admiral Stanton" Blrador. Washington special: Admiral Stan'7 ton's blunder in saluting the rebel 4 squadron before Bio was made still more inexplicablerecently by a perusal of the roster on the Newark, his flags' ship, which showed that at least two men of standing on board are well ac- " quainted with the intricacies of international law and presumably knew that the salute to the rebel fleet was an "' affront to the regular Government of , ) Brazil. This knowledge seems to confirm tho almost general belief at the Navy Department that Admiral Stanihon has some reasonable explanation to jjoff er for his unfortunate action. ninTlfiirr by Man. Some person in Muncie, Ind., sent Marshal John Woods of Celina, Ohio, some smallpox scabs inclosed in a very degrading letter. Marshal Woods would not permit any one from Muncie " to stop off at Celina, and it is thought .j. that some one there has tried to spread ,, the dread disease in that city and re-sorted to the above method. The Postoffice authorities have taken the matter in hand, and will make an effort to trace the letter to the sender. TwUl Come Off. Champion James J. Corbett has received word from the Olympic Club at New Orleans that they would hang up a purse of $20,000 for the Cor-bett-Mfcchell glove contest, and tele' graphed his acceptance on the condidition that the club deposit $10,000 guarantee for the contest to come off.

Washington special ! Mr. Cleveland has notified the Democratic leaders In tbe Senate that lie will not accept tho compromise postponing the repeal of tho purchasing clause In the Sherman law nntll Oct l, ism. The rrosldcnV in response to direct appoals from Senators, has discreetly refrained hitherto from making any statements tthlch could be construed as Indicating a desire of dictating to Congress, but in the discussions which have taken place on the matter In the Cabinet he he has fully expressed his views He bolloves that; a majority of the Senate Is in favor of unconditional repeal, and that means should bo devised to enable tho majority to slve effect to its opinions. This clear indication that the projected compromise, if passed into law, would probably bo mot with an executive veto will add qew elements of difiiculty to tho situation.

WEEE BTJBNED ALIVE.

HORRIFYING WRECK ON THE GRAND TRUNK. fassenger Trains Going at Full Speed Collide Cars Take Fire and Are Reduced to Ashes Many Bodies llurned Beyond Recognition. An Knglneer's Blunder, A railroad wreck more terribla in its results titan any other of tho many horrora which have bawi recorded since the heavy World's Fuir passenger traffic began occurred on the Grand TrunK Road at Nichols, Mich., about one mile east of Battle Creek, at 4 o'clock Friday moi ning. Two passanper trains collided, veral couches wore demolished and shortly after caught fire, rousting' twenty- ix imprisoned passengers until tho remains wore unrecognizablo, while over thirty othors aro injured, two of whom may die. The trains which collided were a Raymond and Whltcomb special, being run as the first section of No. 0, known as the Atlantic express, and No. 9, the Pacific express. The Grand Trunk yards lie between Buttle Creek und Nichols, which is ono mile east of Battle Creek, and the train crew on the out-going train. No. U, had an order to meet tho Raymond special on tho double track nt NichoN, Tho wreck was duo to the disregarding of this order. Beyond Nichols the yardtracks vergo into a single track and No.), instead of side-tracking, ran right out onto the single track. Tho trains Btruck each other within a quarter of a mile from Nichols. Both were going at high sreed and wero well loaded with sleeping passengers. Tho engines wero badly smashed and the baggage-car on the Raymond train was wrecked, but none of the passengers on the train were hurt. The outgoing train fared w tve. and the whole force of the collision feeraed to come on the day coaches of this train. These coaches, all lil!eil with World's Fair excursionists, wero IiDRNIKG OF THE crushed like egg-shells. To add to the horror, tho wrecked cars immediately caught fire, and, with their mangled occupants, wore burned to ashes. The scene of the wreck immediately after the collision was most appalling. Tho groans of tho injured and dying rent tho cold morning air, through which a drizzling 1 ain fell, und dotlso darkness prevailed. The frantic cries of those who escaped were almost as terrible to hear as tho groans of the suffering. Where tho wreck occurred the country is only thinly pcpulated by farmers, anu those who were around hastened to the spot and did whatever they could to assist in reoovoring the dead and wounded from the burning mass of wreckage and to alloviatB the suffering of the injured. As soon as the news reached Battle Greek Hie lire tHrtntrt intuit ntid n writs of surgeons was dispatchod to Nichols, where they did heroic service. Whell they arrived there this is what they saw: Tho two front cars wero tole?Copod and lay in big, shattered pieces within the length of ono car. The other two had jatnrr.ed tightly together. Metl and women were crawling out through broken windows. Some of theiii were breaking away the glass with their bare hands, while other frantic men and women liehind them were fighting to get past tnom and crawl out. women were screaming and men were shouting. Some who had leaped through the windows lay helpless on tne ground, while othors were tailing on them. Hen with blood v hands and faces and women with torn dresses shouted the names of missing friends. These are the old incidents of a rail way horror. l'nssctlKers Roasted to Death. Then tmrike began to curl ill) from tho mass of wreckage where the two Cars Wero telescoped. Within fivo minutes tho smoke was followed by leaping flames. Men who stood there, and watched tho wreck burn bay that' thoy heard shrieks and cries coming from tho interior of tho oven. It would be ploasanter to think that the twenty-five lay tenselers or perhaps dead and did not suffer the torture of suffocation and slow burning. Ono at least died a horrible death in full view of 100 helpless men. She was a woman who had crawled half-way out of the window. Her dress was torn from her shoulders and her hair had fallen about her face. She was u handsome woman, not more than o0 years old. When tho rescuers first taw her they climbed up and tried to draw her through the window. They found that a heavy timber lay across her. "Hurry up; please hurry up," she said, as tho fear crosi-ed her mind that per haps she was possibly in danger of burning. A minute lat'or. while strong men wero straining to ext.icate her, this possibility became a probability and the flames crept rupidly toward the imprisoned woman. "You shan't burn wo 11 get you out," cried tho men, heroically, as they wrestled frantically with the splintered timbers. There was a lull of speech for fivo minutes. The rescuers rad become giants in strength and madmen in desperation, and thoy strugglrd wildly with the tangled wood and iron, 'i'he woman was silent, and gazed imploringly and inquiringly into ihe faces of tho firemen. "My God! Oh. my God!" suddenly burst from tho lips of one of the heroic workers, and in that despairing hoart-;ry the holples? woman read her death warrant. .She gavo an agonized wail, and then her woman's weakness gave way to Iter martyr's strength. "I can die. oh, yes, I 'can die, if I must," she t-ald soothingly to tho strong men who were weeping in their impotent strength. Again thoy struggled breathlessly to the rescue, but tho iiatm-s wore encircling the party and claimed the victim the crash had spared. "I am a Christian, ''.she said resignedly and a moment later her voice was raised in prayer. She gave her name, Mrs. Charles Van lusen, of Sprout Brook, N. Y. The flames now completely encircled hor, tho firemen were driven away, the praying lips were stilled, and tho soul of Mrs. Van Ihiren hod passed beyond tho fury of tho elements of the earth. An hour later the husband for whom she had left a loving message joined her in tho world to come. Taken to the Morgue In Baskets. Not until the fi ronton bad quenched the flames was the full extent of the disaster realized, and the heartrending spectacle then presented caused strong men to weep. Twenty-five horrible and shapeless chunks no other word will express it -of human flesh, burned to a crisp, were made visible. and these all that remainod of the victims of one of the most siokoning raun im accidents 01 ivccnt years were guniereu tip 111 caskets, In bags, and In ono rusi', 11 pail, mid earr

tenderly to the morgue in Battle Creek. The accident occurred because tho engineer of No. 0, going'east, disobeyed orders by not stopping at Nichols to let the other train pass, and both Engineer Wooley and Conductor Scott were arrested, Tho passengers killed were all on the cast-bound train, and, as far as known, the victims wero all Eastern people. Twenty of the killed could not bo identified. Tho names of those idontillod are as follows: Mrs. C. Van Huscn, Bproutbroolt, N. Y.burned. Mrs. F. It. McKcnile. Middletown, Conn., burned to a crisp.
