7 BAD RAILWAY WRECK Passenger Trains Come Together a Few Miles From Cincinnati, TWO PEOPLE KILLED OUTRIGHT. ■ | BevcwVpthnre Were Injured, Three of Whbm Will Probably Die—Negligence •f a Telegraph Operator the Caaee of Hie DlnaKter—Both Engine* n Complete Wreck—Cam Were Tolencoped. Cincinnati, Doc. 31.—Two -passenger , trains collided last night on the Balti- | more and Ohio Southwestern railroad t near Coal City, 14 miles from Cincing nuti. They wore the Louisville express, f which left this city at 7:05, and the St. ( Louis accommodation, duo here at 7:05. 8 The latter was an hour lute. R Tho first known of the collision here • i was when the wrecking train was sent ( out, accompanied by physicians, railway officials and others. The wildest . rumors of the loss of life were soon cur rent, but. later it was found that, two were killed and six injured. Both engines were totally wrecked, as the enI gineers had very little time to check r j tin dr speed. The combination ear of the I Louisville express and the express .ar on j the train from St. Louis were telescoped. 1 Coal City is a coaling station on the ■ road and has no telephone. When the engines were wrecked they knocked out a telegraph pole with such force as to cut off all telegraph communication for a time’. ■ ■ The dead are: Fireman Wilson of tlie Louisville express. Low STQUTI.A n i>ei; of Storrs, Cincinnati. Injured: Hiram Brunig, fireman of the St. Louis train; very dangerous Jacob Bower of Lawrenceburg, Ind., passenger. Alonzo Pruett, engineer of the Louisville. ’ ■ express. James (labriel, engineer of the. St. Louis j train. Fred Binekamp of Aurora, Ind., passenger. T. M. Voght, express messenger on the St. Louis train. George Weiselberger, express messenger on the Itouisvilie train. Os the injured all are very seriously hurt except Binekamp and Weiselberger. > It is feared that Brunig, Bower and ' Pruett are fatally hurt. A special train j arrived at midnight with the injured : and they were at once taken to the Betts Street hospital. The cause of the aiccident was the failure of the 'operator at Storrs station, ' within the city limits, to report to the ■ Louisville train an order to wait at ' , Delhi and let the St. Lums train pass it there. The trains when they sighted each other, a mile this side of Coal City, were going at full speej and had but little ■v» time to slow up before the collision. The road is comparatively straight at ■ this point, otherwise the casualty would have been terrific. Tho injury to' passengers other than these named was , very slight. The regular operator at Storrs station is away on .a holiday vacation this week, and the mistake in orders was made by a substitute whose name cannot be learned. The residences, of those injured not given heretofore arc: Thomas Gibson, Cincinnati; Messenger T. M. Voight, Cincinnati; 'Jinnies Wachtel, Aurora, . Ind.; Fred Dcnkincein.

Intiniutlnp That the Officer, of the Goteminent Wire Mr. Sherman Offer* a ReMolutioa on the <*ohl Reserve yueetion—lnformation About the Proponed Bond IrtMue. Washington, Jan. I.— The senate held a 2-hours’ session yesterday, in the course of which a speech by Mr. Mitchell on the restoration of the McKinley duties on wools was listened td and a rcso- 1 lution was jtassod for tho investigation by the committee on naval affairs of the prices paid l>y the government for ship nrnior. The resolution contained a.! broad intimation that officers of the I government wore interested in armorplate processes, and Senator Chandler. , the author of the resolution, said the facts that had come to his knowledge warranted him in assuming the responsibility for inaugurating the impriiy. The most important feature of the session, perhaps, was a resolution offered by Mr. Sherman for the restoration of the gold reserve, which thereafter should be held sacred for the redemption of the i and treasury notes, the former to be reissued only in exchange for gold coin and bulli.m. Mr. Sherman will address tho senate on his resolution on Friday. Mr. Elkins asked for the immediate consideration of a resolution ■appro;>os Os the anti' ipated Ixind issue, declaring it to be the sense of the senate that no bonds of the United Slates should be sold at private sale -or by pri- I vate contract, but should lx; disposed of , by advertisement to the highest bidder.’ Mr. Hill (N. Y.) objected. Mr. Nelson (Rep., Minn.)Tnade his first speech in the senate advocating higher duties as a remedy for present financial troubles. The senate then adjourned until Friday. Formal Session of the House. The last session of the house for the year - 1895 was a purely formal meeting, lasting bn! a 'very few minutes, and tin adjournment was taken until Friday, according to the understanding. THAT ISSUE OF BONDS. May Be Postponed For Several Days Yet, but Is Sure to Coiue. Washington, Jan. I.—There were no new developments yesterday in the matter of a nqjj’ bond issue, and the opinion now prevails that it may be postponed a number of alayg yet. The cessation of .large withdrawals of gold for export and the fact that one or more orders have been placed for gold shipments from abroad are important factors in the question of an cjtrly issue. On the other hand the almost daily announcement from the subtreasury at New York that considerable quantities are being withdrawn in redemption of legal tchders would seem to justify prompt action on the part of tlie president. These redeniptions. it is said, are undoubtedly asked for the purpose of accumulating a supply of gold-xvith which to purchase bonds, when they shall have been placed on the,-market by the syndicate, and as ' theyiipw aggregate considerably morel than ss.o(tdd»()o since the forthcoming ! issiye became a settled fact, tlieir ehrly i discontinuance has .become a matter of j the first importance. This can be ac- | complishod, howi ver, only tiirough the ■ operations of the syndicate, 1 mid h is argued, ti,i.ei - cfore, that the interest, of the govermnynt lie’ in a prompt aniipiuieeim'nt of the issue. Whirl .will be I tire result of these conilicting interests is not m>w apparent. , - The eport from New York to tho effect that tbc’Th'embcrs of the now syndi- ; eate have entei'Cd into ah agreement by which thi‘, goveitiineiit is to be at once furnished wi|,h sl(Ht.f>oO.Wo iu gold and later on. at its option,.with $ 1 dO.WO,O(M) -in addition-, eanuet be verified at this’ time, it is. the general opinion, however, that this arrangement for an additional eontiiigcin amount was made with the approval-of the president, who is anxious that this issue- shall be. the hist during his term of office. It is believed further tl;at. lhe..cyudition.as to the procurement of a part of the gold from a-broad, and that no part of it shall be withdrawn, from the treasury, are made parts of the nexv contract. The treasury yesterday lost $500,000 in gold for export and $95,000 by the redemption of legal tenders, leaving tho true amount of the gold reserve at the close of business at $(>2,500.1 IS. The forthcoming ihonthly fnxtsui-y statement will show an - excess of receipts over expenditures for the month of December of about $542,000. wliicli is a gain over November of about $1,800.000. Tho heavy paynients on account of interest, pension- and Pacific bond redemptions during January are expeeited to result in a large deficit for the month., The deficit for the fiscal 'year ending June 30, 1890, is expbeted to bo approximately sl(,-000.000. Th(‘se tuftrres, however, are based on the assuniption that the receipts front customs will nnftapitillv increase diuimr the next ! force months, us isuisually tlie ease. The receipts from international nwenue sources, it is thought, have now about nwhed tlie normal and hence no material change for th'd better is expected through the customs.

REHEARSED JULIET IN A CEMETERY. M Andernon’* Sacriflcex and Hard Work For a State Career. Returning to Louisville from New York city, study was begun on a new plan. I had learned from Mr. Vanden- ! hoff [who gave her a few lessons in elocution and acting] to turn my den into a stage. Imagining one of the walls the auditorium, it needed but a step farther to crowd tho house with an enthusiast™ I public, and a small audience was never •eon in that theater. Chairs were made to represent the different characters, and a bust of Shakespeare—the Chandos, to iny mind the finest of all, though unfortunately not as authentic as tlie Stratford—was placed at a proper height and converted into the “leading juvenile.’’ Clifford, Claude, Colonna, were tho parts assigned to it, but as Romeo I i imagined it looked legst stony. Six months of solitary work was now be- - gun. Dancing and mesic, of which I i was passionately fetid, were renounced_ I and my girlhood friends and companions , given up. The exaggeration of youth I led mo to believe that compl<te couceni trillion on the one subject alone would | lead to success. The labor was parjjeu- ' larly hard, working as I did in the dark, having nd one to consult and no experience to guide me. I longed for help, which never came, except from my mother, who was as ignorant as I of ■ the rules of dramatic art. Still wo worked on incessantly, I producing effects, she criticising them to the best of her ability. L Often in the middle of the night I would awaken her to show some new point. Indeed I owe more to her constant and loving interest and encouragement than I can ever hope to repay. To get tlie hollow tones of Juliet’s voice iu the tomb and better realize my heroine’s feelings on awakening in her “nest of death, contagion and unnatural sleep,” ; I frequently walked to Cave Hill, Louisville’s beautiful cemetery,,theretospeak her lines through the grilled door of a vault. Had a thorough schooling in the art been possible, instead of these random and ungnided efforts, iny work would have been halved and its results doubled. —Mary Anderson Da Navarro iu Ladies’ Home Journal.

CUBAN INSURGENTSI Spanish Officials Continue to Claim That They Are Retreating. — MANY REPORTS IN CIRCULATION. large Detachment* Still Dolnß Mnah Damage In the Vicinity of yiatan.an. May Attempt to Capture That City. Force of the Insurgent* Reported to Be Within a Short Distance of Havana. Havana, Jan. 1. —The most conflict- ! ing reports wore in circulation again j yesterday regarding the movements of the insurgent forces under Generals Gomez, Maceo. Bandera and others. The Spanish officials continue to claim that the insurgents are in retreat ami that the Spanish troops are pursuing them out of the province of Matanzas. But the friends Os the insurgents point to the fact that even the authorities here were cbirfpelled yesterday to adimt that de- j taehments, at least, of the insurgents : are still in the vicinity of the city of Ma- i tanzas and ; that they are doing much damage. Monday it was reported from Camarioca, 15 miles from Matanzas, that iiism-gents, said to number 2.000 men, were moving in that vicinity, which xvo’ild indicate the determination I pf the insurgent commanders to capture I Matanzas. Quintin Bandera, the third in command of the Cuban forces, at the head of a strong column of iiisurgents, said to number several thousind men, is reported to be’ near Macurijes (Corral I Falso), half . Way between Union de' Reyes and Jaguey Grande, wlrere the Spaniards claim Gomez is retreating or ; has retreated into Santa Clara. Now : if it is true that die Spaniards are pur- I suing Gomez tiirough Jaguey Grande _and inti) Santa Clara, the insurgents commanded by Quintin Bandera are behind the pursuing Spanish columns and tween them and their base of supplies, ; , Union de Reyes, not a very pleasant po- 1 , sition for th<j Spanish troops to be in. If the railroad station of Cabezes an- , 1 nounced to have been burned it thht of ; the quite important town of Cabezes, southward and westward of the port of Matanzas’, then the insurgents are away on the other side of Union de Reyes and have passed ZMatanzas; going in the di- | rection, north ward of Jaruco and south- ' ward of Guines, txvo important towns , within a short distance of Havana, j Huwever its believed that these for--1 ward movements are made by the ' cavalry-only of the insurgents, as the I ■ enemy is reported to be moving swiftly and on horseback. But the adherents : of the insurgent cause here assert that | the insurgent infantry and artillery I will follow the cavalry westward in.-due 1 course of time, and that Gomez and' : Maceo have simply been collecting the necessary supplies of men and arnunition preparatory to a final movement forward upon Havana. It was reported liere last night that additional reinforcements of troops have I been urgently requested from Spain: that some of them have sailed, and that the ■ captain general is very anxious that -they should arrive here in the shortest i time possible, in order to take-part in 'the defeus" of Havaiat, it being ' understood tliut -every man who. c-.nld 1 be spared has been hurried to the front.
