Van Rensselaer against the Hamburg-American Plague Company for obtaining mpney under false pretenses is not the Only one to be brought, A number of the deluded passengers of the Normannia are preparing similar actions which will be filed In a day or two. About sixty passengers, \as liaar as can be ascertained, wcre dnvFTgled into taking passage on the Normannia under the belief that she would not carry any steerage passengers, and they did not know that the swindling Hamburg concern intended to break its word until they had gone aboard of the

vessel and could not return ashore. 1 Lawyers think that the passengers havt ' a good case and that judgment will bi obtained with comparative ease, althougl the plague company will, as a matter o: aur.se, tight tho attempt to mulct it. COLLISION AT SHRETE, OHIO. Twelve Soul. Hurlch Into Eternity With out a Notice. The most feartul wreck that has oc curred on the Fort Wayne road in years took place one and a half miles west ol Shreve, Ohio, when train No. 8, oast bound, collided with tho first section ol west-bound freight No. 75.

Fire broke out almost instantly, burning two mail cars, one smoker,' one passenger coach and three freight ears, ilalf a dozen persons were badly injured, but all were able to proceed to their homo. Tho wreck trains were stopped by the heap of ruins which were red-hot from tho terrible fire, and owing to tho impossibility of getting water the wreck hands were able to do bnt little to clear up tho debris. Passengers who escaped say the cries of the imprisoned victims wore agonizing.* Tho engineers on both trains jumped, one having his legs broken, and the other escaped without Injury. Willinm H. Brown of Huntington, Ind., a passenger, slightly injured, says the front part of the trains wore thrown upon a bank thirty feet high and tne pieces of them fell over a fence on top of tho bank. The passenger train was running fiity miles an hour. PEARY'S MISSION. Hl. Trip North Was to Search for Gold Fields and Not In the Interest of It has been learned that the trip to the north poll of Lieut. Peary and the Kite was not made solely in the interests of science. A belief in the existence of extensive gold deposits on the coast of Greenland was the real cause which brought about the expedition and secured ample financial backing. From Moravian missionaries in Pennsylvania, several years ago, Lieut. Peary’ secured an inkling of the truth. From the cipher telegrams received here by subscribers to the expedition it has been ascertained that Lieut. Peary was eminently successful in the trip, and it is now believed when he makes his report be will have something to say of the discoveries of gold deposits heretofore known only to Moravian missionaries and Esquimaux. The Kite, bearing Lieut. Peary and the relief party, reached tho wharf in Philadelphia. A large crowd was on the wharf to greet the party, the central figure of which was the brave wife of Lieut. Peary. When the Kite steamed up to the pier the boom of her cannon from the forward deck told that Peary’s Greenland expedition was at »n end, and that the relief party’s task had been a success. Whistles shrieked and cannon boomed as the steamer was made fast and the reception was enthusiastic in ’.he extreme. WRECKED BY ROBBERS. A Passenger Train Ditched Near Osage City, Kan.

J* In the express car there was abont 81,000,000 which was being shipped by the Mexican Central Railroad Company through to its general offices in Boston. The object of the wreckers was not accomplished, owing to the manner in which the express car was buried by the coaches that were piled upon it in general confusion. So high..was the wreckage heaped that it was literally impossible to find the locomotive, let alone the treasure box. Will Fight the Exclusion Law.

An Awful Sentence. Helsing Foes special: Mrs. Anpa Sainio, who was convicted of murdering her husband, Prof. Sainio, of the Finland College, must be bebeaded. The Finland Court of Appeals has refused to commute the death sentence. The Professor was sick, and instead of giving him medicine she dosed him with poison.

Washington cor- / |rospondenco: Twen-ty-six yeard ago in the State of Illinois

there was initiated a movement, result- ' ing in the organization for fraternal, i charitable, and loyal purposes of the men who at their country’s call left i he ar tli and heme to devote tho best energies ot their manhood to Itesalvation. j In 1866 the Grand Army of the Republic • was founded, with B. F. Stephenson of Illinois as first Commander-in-chief. Included in its ranks were many men who , had become famous throughout tho I world for their brilliant achievements in 1 the field of war and on tho sea, and ’ there were also untold thousands of the

men unknown to the world by name, and I whp never ewore any 1 more pretentious uniform than the blue . blouse and trousers, ■ but who were tho units that made up the grandest force of , warriors in numbers; and warlike deeds that tho world had ever known. When their

duty was done and their country was saved these countless thousands laid down the musket am) sword and returned to the pursuits of a peaceful

j life, leaving behind the habite of the | field and the camp, and becoming once more farmers, merchants and mechanics and laborers. But once a year it has been the custom of many of them , to come together at some central point, i and, exchanging fraternal greetings, , revive the memory of the days gone ‘ by, of war and valor, and bitter strugI gle, and heroic endurance, of hardship and disaster, and of final and glorious victory. Now the ranks are thinning out; old faces are missing, and the list of the

famous Generals who led their men to victory and have pa ’sed from earth Is growing apace. As the years rolled past and the comrades dropped out a of line the remainder Tof that great host has ' longed to come again to the capital city and tread once more the broad sweep ot that

magnificent avenue on which they stepped with erect figures and martial bearing in 1865 at the end of the war. At last this longing has teen gratified by hplding the National Encampment here. A Magnificent Gathering. For days the-comrades gathered from every part of the Union. Great cities, small towns, little hamlets and solitary farmhouses sent their quotas, greater or smaller, and the result, was an attendance that no man could closely estimate, and one certainly surpassing any ever before seen in Washington. The trains arrived in so many sections as to constitute an Intricate problem in railroad management, and every tra ; n was laden with comrades and their wives and sons and daughters. Besides, there were very many sightseeis, not connected with the Grand Army of the liepublic, attracted by the spectacular displays expected to be seen during the week. All of these people were taken care of, as they arrived, by the members of the Reception Committee or the numerous corps of bright high-school boys who were detailed for . the service. Those who had secured accommodations at hotels or boardinghouses were directed to their destination; those who had heedlessly and without regard to warning circulars Bent out by the Citizens’ Committee, neglected to engage lodgings, were furnished with addresses where bed and board might be had, and the great army of veterans who have availed themselves of the free quarters tendered by the citizens of Washington were escorted to their temporary quarters. In some way everybody was cared for. Grand Army Place. The feature of the first day, full of events as it was and one of historic interest, was the inauguration and dedication of Grand Army place, as it is called, wnich is known as the White Lot, and lies just south of the grounds of the executive mansion. It is one magnificent lawn comprising many acres of ground, covered with well-kept green sod and unbroken by a single tree or bush. On this vast field has been laid out a reproduction of the closing campaign of the war of the reMilion. But instead of serried ranks and rows of death-dealing artillery, the positions of the Federal armies have been Indicated by the arrangement of tents and stands. 'J lift Great P»ra<le. On the second day the Grand Army of the Republic made its triumphal march along Pennsylvania avenue. Timo’s ravages in its ranks made It possible to attempt in one d a y what lt rei quired two long dayjs to ’ accomplish In 1865. To the survivors of the 160,000 men of the armies of the Potomac and the West, who on the memorable 23d and 24th of May, 1865, passed in review , before the President and his Cabinet, including Secretary Sew.trd, just recovthe assassin’s knife, the foreign ministers, the military attaches of the great powers of Europe, and their own beloved and illustrious generals, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, the contrasts and reminiscences called out were necessarily striking. It took seven hoursMrom i) to 4—each day for , the armies of 1865 to pass the reviewing stand, and the estimated length of the two days’ procession was thirty miles.

At the hour for tho start the Capitol was tho central point of a friendly army massed for a half mile or more square on most of the streets radiating from it. On all aides tho eye garjed on nothing but aged men plainly attired In blue clothes with gilt buttons and slouch hats, save an occasional post with white helmets, and except where showed tho bright uniforms ot bands, of which there seemed enough to sound a trumpet call that would shake the naticn. From th'o botanical gardens at tho foot of the west front of the Capitol down Diagonal avenue as far as tho Pennsylvania Hallway statioh and tho railway tracks stretqltaA tho ranks of tho Illinois and Wisc<®Tn Departments. To tho south and east covering tho entire available snaeo from tho flank of the Sucker and Badger Statu Divisions to and along whore tho PennsylvaniaHlallroad tracks enter the navy yard tunnel, covering a space that would hold several ordinary processions, were the Pennsylvanians and Ohioans. South ot tho Capitol tho Now-Yorkors spread out lu a long, irregular, broken formation that made tholr rear column completely flank the mon from Connecticut and Massachu-’etis, whose right of column faced tho parking of the cast front of the Capitol, on who. j e lawns many of tho Eastern troops lolled, fraternized, and told war-time reminiscences as they waited for tho signal to fall in lino and begin the inarch. The other New England troops and commands from Now Jersey and far off California occupied, for blocks, the streets directly oast of the Capitol. North and east of them, stretching out for three-quarters of a pille and overlooking the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad tracks, were tho stations of veterans from the States of Michigan, Nebraska, lowa, Maryland and Virginia. Kovirwod nt the ( rrtutl Ktnml. As the parade moved around the Treasuby Building to the north front, where the reviewing stand was erected, near the corner of tho White House grounds, tho double column would .close up and form a single one. Tho effect was magnificent. Vice President Morton was there to represent tho government, the President being absent? On account of Mrs. Harrison’s illness. With the Vico President were Secretaries Tracy, Noble, and Rusk, all comrades of the Grand Army, and Secretary Foster, Attorney General Miller, and Postmas-

ter General Wanamaker. There were alio Gen. Schofield, the head of the army, and a numerous assemblage of distinguished men. It was a grand sight when, following the civic escort and tho old guard of Washington, came tho Sixth Massachusetts, given a place ot honor because of its part in defending the National Capital in the memorable .days of 1861. Its remnant of a flag bore the inscription which told of tho bloody riot in Baltimore where the disunionists disputed its course to the National Capital. Closely following came a detachment of the Pennsylvania first defenders, who also claimed the honor of being the earliest protectors of Washing-, ton. Illinois, as the home and the birthplace of tho Grand Army, by right of seniority headed the departments As department after department marched by the recognition of a heroic figure would evoke tremendous outbursts of enthusiasm. AU in all, the parade was an event which fully justified the emotions of the veterans who had bint every energy to have it take place in the midst of historic associations of the National Capital. Monuments I’nvelled. Two events of ipore than ordinary interest mark the encampment of ,18j2 aa of great importance. These'were the unveiling of the Lafayette and the Antietam Monument*. The former is a gift of Lafayette Post of New York, and Commander Mills, Chauncey M. Depew and Joel Erhart, all members of this post, were the principal speakers. Congress appropriated $3,000 for the dedication ceremonies. On the third day of the the survivors of the Fourth New York,

L A million dollars in currency. ; That was the prize for which Kansat train robbers strove. An appalling lost > of human life was the price they w<>r< willing to pay for it. Pasuonger train No. 8, on the Atohl- ' ron, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, east- . bound, was wrecked early In the morn- . Ing three mHos west of Osage City bj . train robbers who hoped by that meane t to plunder the express car of $1,000,600, which was teyig transported from the i city of Mexico to Boston. . A wrecked train, four men killed, and thirty-five men, women, and children J Injured are tho only results of tho attempted robbery, for tho robbers secured not a penny of tho treasure tc . oapture wjiloh they Imperiled so many i lives. , The wreck and attempted robbery had , been carefully and deliberately planned. , To avoid tho possibility ot leaving a clew , behind them the robbers stole the tools with which they did their dreadful work, Instead of purchasing them. They stole a crow bar, wrench and sledge hammoi from tho tool house at Barclay, throe miles west of tho scene of the wreck, i and with them removed the fish plate which joined two rails together, which would necessarily derail the train.- Tho robbers had evidently selected with care the spot at which to wreck tho train. They selected tho top of a grade, up which tho train would oe obliged to ascend, thus lessening its speed and at the same time lessening the chances of eo badly wrecking tho train as to bury beneath tho debris the treasure they were seeking. These precautions were unavailing, and the very thing they sought to evade thwarted their efforts. When the train passed over the weakened track the entire train was wrecked, with the exception of the rear ear, and most of tho cars were piled one on top of tho other above the express car, burying it, and its treasure so deep as to require several hours’ digging to reach it. Tho engine, when it passed over the loosened rail, left the track, swayed to and fro for a second of time and then toppled over with a dreadful crash. Four Trainmen Killed. The engineer and fireman had no warn ng of their dreadful fate and no chance for their lives. They must have been killed outright when tho engine was wrecked. The express messenger and express guardsmen were equally unprepared and they were killed in their car. There were some 250 passengers on tho train, but not one was killed. How they escaped seems miraculous. The cars wore piled one on another and composed a moss of timber and twisted iron in which it seemed impossible for any being to have escaped death. When the work of rescue was completed, however, all the passengers were found to be alive. Several were badly injured and a few may die. Tho $1,000,060 belonged to tho Mexican Central Railroad Company, and was being forwarded to that company's headquarters at Boston. It was rescued from tho wreck and turned over to the Wells Fargo company at Topoka to be forwarded to its destination. Reward for the Wrecker*. The Santa Fe has offered SI,OCO reward for the train wreckers, and several posses are searching the country in tho vicinity of, the wreck. Advices from Osage City and Barclay state that intense excitement and indignation prevails among the people there, who de-, clare broadly that tho wreckers shall be lynched when caught. The train consisted ot a baggage, express and mail car, two day coaches, two chair cars and three sleepers. It was thrown over an embankment three feet high and the first six cars telescoped. • BROOM-CORN TRUST FAILING. Crop-Buyer. Outwitted by Nature and the Manulacturen. The syndicate formed by the large manufacturers and brokers in broom corn early last fall is going to pieces, and the prices of broom corn are dropping fast. The attempt being made to keep up prices and yet unload tlm large stock of broom corn which is stored in the Western market cannot bo maintained much' longer. It is expected that the syndicate will go to pieces during tho first of October, The combine bought up all the crop in tho States of Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Tennessee last fall and put. the prices from 3J cents a pound up to 7J and even 8 cents. They hoped to force the smaller manufacturers and others who were not in the deal to buy at their prices. But the broom corn manufacturers shut down or worked on half time, using up what corn they had in stock, and refused to buy, and the large firms who carried the stock are now anxious to unload. The price of broom corn has dropped from 7 and 6 cents a pound to 5 and 6 cents. Now comes the news from broom-<sorn brokers that the crop was never better, and this, it is thought, will finally swamp the combine. A NEBRASKA BORGIA. She Is Cliarged with the Pohonlng: of Three Member, of Her Family. Mary Anno Armagost Is under arrest at David City, Neb., charged with poisoning her first husband, A. J. Roberts; the mother of her present husband, Mrs. Mary Armagost; and her 12-year-old stepdaughter, Hattie Armagost. Hattie died last June under suspicious circumstances. An autopsy was held, but the presence ot embalming fluid in the stomach prevented a chemical analysis. This led to the exhuming of the body ot Roberts, who died iq February, 1887, and of Mrs. Armagost, who died in 1890. The stomachs were sent to Omaha and a chemi al examination revealed arsenic. A Coroner's jury was Impaneled and a verdict rendered to the effect that Roberts and Mrs. Armagost came to their death by arsenical poisoning at the hands of Mary Ann Armagost.
