As near as can bo ascertained seven persons wero killed and fifteen injured. The train parted some miles west of Hamburg, the coupling between tho last day coach and tho first sleeper breaking. The first section went on ahead and was stopped when Conductor lloughtaling pulled the boll-rope. Most of those in the last day coach wero notified in time to leave, but those in the first Pullman had no warning and the cars met and telescoped with terrific force. The Pullman was completely buried beneath tho other car. An engine was dispatched to liuffalo for aid, J. Minnie, who had his arm cut off, being taken along. It was two and a half hours boforo the physicians arrived. A wrecking train preceded the relief train and tho work of extricating the imprisoned sufferers was begun! The killed are: Mr. J. E.

CRAWFORDSV1LLE, INDIANA- FRJDAY, MARCH 7. 1890

SHE'S GOT THE CASH.

Representative* Chleugoang Katlitfy the World'* Fair CoiiiuiitCuo of the (iurdeu Clty*i Ability to Make a Success of the

Hi(C Show. WASHINGTON, March 7.—"We had a vory satisfactory meeting," said Congressman Candler (Mass.), chairman of tho world's fair committee, Thursday night, immediately after tho adjournment of the conlerence betwoon tho spocial world's fair sub-committeo and the delegation of the representative men which arrived here from Chicago during the afternoon to confer with the committee in regard to the world's fair bill, lie added: 'They have satisfied the subcommittee thut they have a boua-tlde subscription, every dollar of which Is as good as cash, of K,830,000 to begin with. They have also satisfied us of their ability to easily' raise the $10,000,000 guarantoed by Chicago. Altogether we are very much gratified !.*. the showing made. The Government was not asked for any thing and there was no suggestion that it should do any more than give its name to the fair, which it should do. as it Is at) International exposition, and that it should provido a suitable Governmental exhibit, though oven this latter was left entirely with Congress, tho Chicago representatives staling that they had no more interest in the Government being worthily represented than had the rest of the country.''

The conference, which was of an informal character, lasted about two hours and was held in one of tho parlors of the Itiggs House, Tho time was chiefly consumed in an explanation of the financial situation. Mr. Lyman .1. Gage, president of the First National Bank of Chicago, oxplainod this to the members of tho sub-committee. He said that Chicago had a subscription of moro than So,000,000, which was collectable under tho laws of tho State of Illinois. He road the list of subscribers, and said they were all known men of wealth and standing. Mr. Gage then said that in about ten or twolvo days tho fair organization would be incorporated and would begin work. There was no doubt that as soon as this was effected it would quickly secure subscriptions for Si.000,000 or moro. This would make from SO,000,000 to $7,000,000, and was all that was necessary at present. With this amount in cash there would be no difficulty in raising by means of bonds or otherwise tho SI0,000,000 which Chicago had guaranteed. As to tho Govornmentappropriation Chicago's representatives said they had nothing to say. Thoy left that entirely with the committfw and with Congress.

Tho quostion of postponing tho fair until 1693 was mooted, and it was evident that there was a strong sentiment in favor of the proposition, though in this matter also tho Chicago men placed themselves entirely in the hands of Congress. While they wore willing to defer to Congress as to the time for holding tho fair, they wanted it oxpressly understood that Chicago did not ask any postponement. Chicago, it was said, could finish her buildings and make the fair succoss if held in 1892.

With respect to tho Government appropriations Chairman Candler said that it had been understood in committee that Sl.SOO.OOO was the outside limit which would be recommended for this purpose, and tho amount which the oommittec would name in tho bill to be expended upon the Government exhibit would not oxcced this stun. .TOLD ON HIS DEATH-BED.

THE BANDIT'S LATEST SENSATION.

Mo Threatens to Mttrrior ft (ittitrd and a Fellow-Convict—After Having Four of Ills Finger* Shot OIT lie Surrenders.

A TTOOFI SHOT.

MAIIQUETTE, Mich., March 7.—Relluund Holzhay, the train robber and murderer now serving a life sentence at the branch prison liore, will never pull a trigger again. All four lingers of his right hand aro shot away. Probably wjtli some idea of making his escape he seized and threatened to kill a fellowconvict. After two hours' vain endeavor to reason with tho desperado Warden Tompkins disarmed him of his murdorous knife with a well-directed rifle shot.

The prison officials havo been keeping closo watch on Holzhay, and for some days Deputy Warden llawloy has suspected that ho was meditating some desperate outbreak. Wednesday afternoon ho sent lCooper Pollisor to bring tho convict to his office for search. Pollisor unlocked tho cell and told Holzhay to come along. As PolliBor turned to lock the coll door Holzhay threw his left arm around tho keeper's neck, and, drawing a murderous-looking knife, pressed it against his throat. He then drew Polliser toward the gate. Deputy Warden llawley drew a bead on the convict, whon tho latter held Pollisor in front of him so as to form a shield. lie continued this device for some time, stepping out and daring the deputy warden to kill him, but dodging behind Polliser and holding his knifo at the latter's throat whenever tho rifle was aimed at him. Finally Polliser broke away and ran around the oell block, with Holzhay in pursuit.

Soeing that Polliser would escape, Holzhay seized a convict named Mezervoy, who happened to bo loose in the corridor, and repeated the samo game. Warden Tompkins had just left the prison when the outbreak occurred but was overtaken and called back by a trusty convict.

For two hourB the warden Btood at the gate trying to got a ohanoe to disarm Holzhay or to induce him to drop the knifo. "I would have simply rushed in," said tho warden, "but I was afraid the fellow might bo insane, and that any attempt to do so would simply result in Mezorvey's death. At last, by sending Deputy Warden Hawloy to talk with another oonvlct on the othor side of tho cell block, distraoted his attention for a moment. His right hand, holding tho knife, lay on his knee. I took steady aim and planted a bullet right in his knuckles. He got up and called out: 'Well* you've done it,' and Walked toward hi« sell.

The heavy bullet from tho Magtinl riflo tore away all of his right-hand fingers and smashed the metaoarpal bones only his thumb is left. It grazod Mozorvoy'8 leg, but ho was not hurt Holzhay was seon last evening. He lay groaning with pain and refused to answer questions.

Tho knifo Holzhay carried is a murderous weapon, mado by grinding an ordinary tablo knifo to a sharp point on tho cell iloor. How Holzhay got it i« not known. His probable intention was to stab tho night-koeper and thus got the cell koy.

By his coolness and good marksmanship Warden Tompkins certainly saved Moservey's life. Public optnlon hero would have sustained him fully in killing Holzhay, who has openly declared that he would not stay in prison two yoars. Tho wounded oonvict's wounds were dressed, but ho will never use his right hand again. All four fingers aro gone, aftd only the thumb remains.

Other advices received here state that aftor the fight the Dahomiana mado a second attack upon Notonon. Thoy wero finally repulsed, leaving H)0 of their number dead on tho field. Among: tho dead wore found several of the female warriors of the King of Dahomey. [Dahomey i« a kingdom of Western Africa, having an urea of about 14.300 squure miles. Tho population £00,000, of whom only about 20,000 are free. The country is fertile and highly cultivated. The Dnhoniians are pagaun and their worship fetish. The power of tho King is absolute, extending to despotic control over the lives and property c* his subjects. During the reign of the present monarch frightful atrocities havo been perpetrated, whole* sale murders forming the principal part of all state and religious ceremonies, BO that if any members of the invading French force have fallen prisoners In the King's hands, as indicated in the above dispatch, their fate is not likely to be a pleasurable one. Tho King hus for years maintained a female army, composed of muscular young women, formed in regiments aud armed with Bwords and muskets, and from the dispatches it appears that some of those Amazons have died like true soldiers iu their country's defense. The Paris newspapers have recently been suggesting the propriety of France annexing tho Klugof Dahomey's dominions to her African possessions.]
