A RAILR JAD HORROR.

Collision on the Vandalia near VY'aveland in which Two Men Met Death.

One of tin ruost serious accidents in the hi^tmy of theT. K. & L. division of the Vandalia railroad occurred one mile south of Waveland about oiHO o'clock last night. The north bound passenger train which passes through hero at 5:10 and a suth bound extra freight met on the sharp curve near

Donley's t-tatiwE with awful results. Neither engineer could see the other train uatil too late to avoid the collision. The crash was something terrible and .ill that remains of the two endues is a mass-of twisted iron. Engineer John Jligtey, of the passenger train, fireman

W hittig and eugineer Bairsdorf of the 'fretg-ht were seriously injured itee baggage car was thrown from the rails .and turned completely over. Baggageman Lee Trout was only slightly kyured. Conductor Caskey. of the piseengnr -train, escaped without a scratch. M-any passengers were badly shaken u,p but no one was seriously iujured.

Tiao injured were taken to the hotel sit Waveland where Engineer Higley rthis morning at 2 o'clock aud FireniitB Wittig expired about an hour later. Engineer Bairsdorf's condition is critical aod hie death is momentarily expected.

The accident was caused by the misintrepretation of orders on the part of the freight crew. The train was runDiDg 00 the ja£senger trains time and should have side tracked at the Waveland junction.

WAR INTELLIGENCE. STATE CONVENTION.

Indications Point That There Will

Be Very Little of it to Report

Hereafter.

During the last week Gen. Miles with a force of a few thousand men landed on the island of Puerto Rico. From the start it would seem to have been a continuous triumphal tour. The Spaniards lied at his advance, he has captured several strongholds on the island, and the inhabitants welcome his army with open arms, glad to throw off the Spanish yoke. It would seem that the entire island would be ours within a few weeks.

During this week the advocates for peace between Spain and the United States have teen at wortf, and with flattering prospects of success. It would seem that the war would surely cease within a few weeks. The Spanish government is acting in the matter through tbe French ambassador at Washington City. Through him this government has made known to Spain the terms upon which p3ace caD be brought about, and that country is about ready to accept. "In order to remove any misapprehension in regard to the negotiations as to peace between the United States and Spiiin it is deemed proper to say that the terms offered by the United States to Spain in the note handed to the French Ambassador 011 Saturday last are in substance as follows:

The President does not now put forward any claim for pecuniary indemnity, but requires the relinquishment of all claim of sovereignty over or title to the islaud of Cuba, as well as the immediate evacuation by Spain of the island: the cession to the United States aod immediate evacuation of Puerto Rico and other islands under Spanish sovereignty in the West Indies, and the like cession of an it-land in the Ladrones. The Uuited States will occupy and hold the city, bay and harbor of Manilla pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace, which shall determine' the control, disposition and government of the Philippines. If these terms are accepted by Spain in their entirety it is stated that Commissioners will be named by rhe United States to meet Comi«is°ioners on the part of Spain for the purpose of concluding a treaty of peace on the basis above indicated.'

Gen. Merritt, at Mauilla, asks for an army of from .'50,000 to 40,000 men. lie considers that an 'army that large will be required to bring order out of chaos. In the meantime Aguinaldi, the insurgent leader, is not proving to be an easy subject to handle, and eventually is likely to turn his guns on the Americans as 6oon as the Spaniards are subdued. He considers the country out there all his.

Again Postponed.

Toe case of the citv against the emp'oyes of the Bell telephone company was again postponed in the Mayor's court Tuesday morning until today, because the Mayor was "suffering" from a felon on his thumb, This is the third time the case has been postponed for the same reason and it is to be hoped that it will not meet the same late today. Tbat felon story of

Mayor Stilwell's is becoming "wormy and the public 'is beginning to think that somebody is being benefitted by the delay, in fact that a felon on his thumb would have any effect on his judicial "thiok pot': is beyond reasonable coil prehension.

Dynamite at Sedalla.

Recently the commissioners of Clinton County refused a license to retail intosi cants at Sedalia, and the men of the village then organized a club, re stocked the room formerly used for saloon purposes, and did their drinking independently of a licenee. Other vil lagers were much incensed, and Sunday night the club house was dynamited out of existence. Monday carpenters were at work re-building the structure, the club men vowing their purpose to again operate it, despite opposition. All the elements are handy for another sensational denouement.

Alabama is all Right.

At the State election in Alabama last Monday the democrat elected their ticket by a majority of slightly over 62 000. The populists, however, carry twelve counties for local officers, the contests being over probate judges. Probate judges hold office 6ix years. In 1892 the populists elected thirty-four probate Judges. The contest today was between these populists and democrats. The democrats wonjall but twelve.

Dr. Stout's Trial.

It is understood that Judge White, of the Parke circuit court, has set down the Dr. Stout trial for Sept. 26.

The Hemlock Lodge campers will leturn from the Pine Hills next Monday.

Republicans Nominate a State Tick-

et—Little Enthusiasm Shown.

The republicans nominated their State ticket at Indianapolis Thursday. liile there was a fairly good attendance there was that lack of enthusiasm which so characterized the democratic convention held there a few weeks ago. There was a derth of candidate and at no time was there more than two ballots necessary to select a candidate. Below is the ticket chosen

For Secretary of State, Union B. Hunt, of Randolph county. Treasurer of State, Leopold Levy, of Huntington county.

Auditor of State, William H. Hart, of Clinton county. Attorney-General, William L. Talor, of Marion county.

Clerk of Supreme Court, Robert A. Brown, of Johnson county. Statiseinn, J. B. Conner, of Marion co.

State Geologist, \V. S. Blatchly, of Vigo county. Sup't Public Instructiun, Frank L. Jones, of Tipton county.

Judge

McCabe and the Township Trustee Decision.

The sober second thought seems to be coming to certain Democratic papers in the State as to the dechion of the Supreme Court in the township trustee case. Some of the more indiscrete ones made a mad rush to condemn Judge McCabe because he did not agree with his two democratic associates in the reasons given for the decision. They seem to ignore the fact that he reached the same conclusion all the other judges did,

The circuit judge, the Hon. Joseph A. Adair, being a Democrat, held that there was no law in force by which such an election could be held in November, 189S. On appeal to the Supreme Court, all tive of its judges decided that the rcuit judge correctly decided that no

I'.v is in force by which such an election can be held this fall, and that his jdgment must be affirmed.

This is the pith and marrow of the upreme Court decision in the celebrated township case, about which the papers alluded to abovo have so unjustly criticised the action of Judge McCabe. They have constantly assumed that his action in concurring with the two Republican judges ,and disagreeing with the two Democratic judges had the effect of defeating the object of the Democratic committee, namely to compel such election this fall. This is absolutely untrue. And every lawyer, and every intelligent man in the State will so say, if he will take the trouble to read the opinions in the case.

It is true that the minority Opinion concurred in by both Judge McCabe's democratic associates reaches the same conclusion that the other judges do on entirely different, reasons, namely: that both the act of 1897 and that of 1S9.1 were unconstitutional and void, and hence there could be no election under either, or, in other words, because neither of them is a law. And consequently they hold that the only existing law under which such an election can be held is a previous statute under which no election can be held till 1902.

Every lawyer and every intelligent person in the State who will read the opinions in the case will agree that there was absolutely nothing Judge McCabe could have done in the case to prevent tho defeat of the buit. If he had concurred in all tho reasons assigned by his two democratic associates for reaching the common conclusion every member of the court reached, it could not have rescued the case from defeat, and failure of the democratic State committee to attain its object.—South liend Times.

Joke on Gen. Hanson.

In relating some reminiscences of Blue Jeans Williams in the Indianapo^ lis News this week the writer tells of tbe following joke on Gon. Manson: "There is one story that be used to tell with groat gusto. General Manson called ou Y'ben

which Mr. Williams would not grai... Manson left in disgust, and, meeting some friends at the hotel, told them about it, and closed nis remarks with the statement, 'You could'ot expect anything better than that of a man who wears a No. 6 hat.' Ae they were talking a messenger came from tbe state house with this note. 'Dear General, I am always happy to have you call, and appreciate your visit6, but when you do come, please don't wear away my hat.' Manson had, indeed, worn away the governor's hat."

Amos Wants His Money. Wednesday morning Amos Snyder filed a petition in tbe circuit court here asking that the Midland railroad be forced to pay him the amount of an old judgment against it.

A correspondent to an Indiarnpolis paper has the following to tav of the soldier boys no at Camp Thomas. "To-day the soldiers at Camp Thomas, officers and privates alike, are discouraged. Discouraged on account of the bright ned prospect of immediate peace tbat is shown by the morning's paper. To be sure, we cannot but admit that the death and suffering of prolonged campaign are to be avoided if possible, but each individual of us want to be connected with such active service as is necessary. To stay in camp several months and then be sent home would be much like that famous campaign recorded in nurserv lore, where'the King of France, with 30,000 men, marched up a hill and thenmarched down again.' "Our regiment is in very good spirits, compared with many of the others here, the men doing their work with few surface indications of dissatisfaction.

In the Fifth Illinois, which was ordered to the front and then ordered back, there 's a sad state of demoralization. When they started back to camp many of the men threw aw„y their guns and equipment and refused to go with the regiment, numbers of them being still scattered through tbe park and in Chattanooga. The Chattanooga papers of th morning commented on the good discipline and the lack of complaint among the Indiana soldiers. "The work of organizing and training our forces of scouts goes steadily on under the supervision of Sergeant St., Clair. "The rain which raineth every day has been doubling up on us of late, two or three hard showers a day being the average for the past week. As a consequence many of the regiment are suffering from rhumatism, caused by: sleepiug near the damp ground."

Republican newspapers over this district are busy just now quoting from an alleged democratic paper of tins place, a lot of tommy-rot about Mr. Chtadle. For the benetit of such we will say that this wretched remnant, of the past represents nothing but the mildewed opinions of a musty moss-back gone to seed. —Argus News.

It is unquestionably a joke to have the creature who controls the ArgUB News tell the public who is and who is not a democrat, a newspaper whose most fitting place is the out-house, who can only secure anybody to patronize it by giving the Indianapolis Sentinel with it, and whoso manager was a strong gold bug advocate up to tbe county convention of two years ago when forced by party sentiment and selr preservation to accept the free silver side of the financial question. He wants an office, wants it bad, and by advocating Cheadle hopes to secure the Cra*fordsville post office. We would suggest to him that he will be many years older before becoming post master here or anywhere else, and in the meantime we advise him learn to run a newspaper that the public will read.

Not Much.

It is said that Mr. Dick Cording, ot Coal Creek township, is to bo bo prosecuted for working a boycott mi the Crawfordsvilk' Review. There is* clear case against him and some rare fun may be expected it the case is really pushed. —Journal.

The above is strictly news to us. We know nothing and care less of tho individual mentioned in tho above paragraph, but are of the opinion that if given enough rope most any datnphool is liable to hang himself without the intervention of law. 1
