The Latest »w« as Flashed Over the Wires from All Farts of the World—Regarding Fol it ics. Religion. Casualties. Commerce, and Industry. BAD WRFCIC A Meat Train Collides With an Electric Car. The fast meat train on the West Pennsylvania road collided with an electric ear on the Sharpsburg and Citizens- line at Sharpsburg. Pa., and lit e persons were injured. The names are: Dan Nolan, mvtorman, fatally injured; Dr. J. M. Kelly, badly hurt, but not fatally: Dan Cypers. Mrs. Noble, and Erank Daugherty, cut and bruised. There were about thirty passengers on the ear and the accident occurred at a crossing. .lust as the electric car reached the railroad tracks the trolley came otf, leaving the car in darkness. The engineer of the approaching train, which was running ai a high rate of speed, did not see the car until he was quite near to it. He applied the air brakes, but could not present the collision. Most of the p ;l .. eengers on the street car were able to get off before the accident occurred, but the niotorman stuck to his post and will probably forfeit his life as the result. He’ll Stick to Secret Societies, Cleveland special: The Universe, the official organ of Bishop Horstman, of tlie Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, is out with the statement that there has been received from Home a reiteration of the Pope's request that all members of the church withdraw from secret societies, notably the Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias. ExCongressman Foran, one of the leading attorneys of this city, and other prominent Catholics in this city who are members of secret societies, consulted and decided to write Mgr. Satolli and ask whether the Pope’s declaration would lie enforced as an edict. Mr. Foran who is one of the leading members of the Elks and a Knight of Pythias, declared in an interview, that while he was a good Catholic, his secret society connections were a matter of conscience, and that he would not give way to any authority on that poiut. Tale of Suffering. Three survivors of the sealer Alta have arrived at San Francisco, on board the schooner Sutherlan. from Hakodate. They tell a tale of extreme suffering after losing their vessel in a dense fog off the coast of Japan in April. They reached the shore but were refused a landing by natives, who spoke English. When the men asked for food and water, it was refused. For nine days they lived on birds which they killed and ate raw. After considerable suffering they made a landing 100 miles from their first attempt. The American consul took charge of them as soon as lie learned of the case and sent them home by the Sutherlan. .Murdered for Their Money. Barboursville iKy.) special: What is considered reliable information was received here that Gus Lobe and wife, formerly ot this place, were robbed and murdered by a band of outlaws in Harlan County. Lobe was a German peddler and often carried a large amount of money with him. His wife at the time of the robbery had ftoh in her possession, and Lobe S2W. When attacked the two made a determined resistance and were both riddled with bnllets. There were six men in the band and are supposed to live near Hagan. Va. The murder w as connitted between Hagai and Harlan Courthouse. The Earth Torn. A few days ago there was an explosion of natural gas at White Bluff. Dickson county, Tenn., that threw up several tons of earth and stones, and next day another explosion occurred near the scene of the first. Great blocks of stones weighing several tons were thrown out. The roar of escaping gas can be heard for some distance. People of Dickson county are greatly excited over it. Thirteen Soldiers Shot. A dispatch from Leinburg, Austria, says: A eourtmartial was held at Przemyal. Galicia, which tried 26 Hussars for the murder of a Sergeant. Three noncommissioned officers and 10 privates, who were chosen by lot to do the deed, were sentenced to death, ami the remainder to imprisonment for life. The condemned men have already been shot. Hanging at the Ohio renltentia n y. John Molnar was hanged in the annex of the penitentiary, at Columbus. Ohio. He seemed to be in a dazed condition, but walked unsupported upon the scaffold. He only said • farewell,” after the noose was adjusted. His neck was broken by the fall and he was pronounced dead in thirteen minutes. Both Oil and Gai. The Perault A- Hale oil well, on the Comstock lease, at Vau Buren. Ind., was drilled in. and it is flow ing at the rate of barrels per day. and is also making a good showing for a gas w ell. It will be drilled deeper. Keward for a Murderer. Tne West Chicago Street Railway Company has offered a reward of $5.1*10 for the capture and conviction of the murderers of J. C. Birch, night receiver of the road, wilts was killed by robbers early Sunday morning. Havoc in the Oil Field. A special from Wapakoneta. Ohio, says: Lightning and storm played havoc in the oil field in this vicinity. Nichols & Levy's loss will reach about SI,OOO, while in the Buckland field the loss cannot now be estimated. Ten PerMont* Drojvued. A Rome dispatch says: An excursion boat on Lake Maggiore was struck by a squall and capsized and ten of its occupants were drowned. Gold Reserve. For the first time since December I. 1891, the gold reserve Wednesday exceeded $100,000,000. The exact figures are SIOO,830.355, w ith an available net cash balance of $1.84,978,458. The gain since February 8, last, the date of the bound contract, is $58,047,395 in gold reserve, and $42,282,887 in the net balance. The syndicate still owes the government about $5,000,000 in foreign gold, their payments up to this time having slightly exceeded the contract requirements.

Cl BAN NEWS. Th. tn.org ent. Win a Gallant Battle. Havana special: A battle was fought on the 20th inst . between insurgents and Spanish near Vega Alta, in the Province ' of Remedies, in which the latter were defeated. The insurgents were commanded by Roloff and the Spaniards by Colonel i halamaneo. son of the General of that name. Salamanco was killed with about sixty of his men. The insurgent loss was small. Every day now adds to the strength of the insurgents. There are uprisings in San Jose, Las Lajas. Santiago de Las Vegas. ' Guira and Alquizar. The Spaniards seem utterly unable to cope with the revolution. ■ In addition to numerous uprisings, the ■ Spanish army is in a mutinous state. The soldiers are badly treated and jxxirlj fed, and desertions are increased. Col. Bassallo, with 480 men, has deserted and joined the insurgents. A Lieutenant . of Volunteers w ith fifty men has also de- i sorted near Camauga. One hundred men, i composing the First Batlallion of Volun- | teers. stationed here, have been arrested , and put in the cabanas for refusing to go into the field. Coronado, editor of La Discussion, was arrested for publishing reports | from correspondents in the field. The | Cubans here are greatly excited and elated ! by the news that the United Mates wiilforce j Spain to pay the Mora claim. They say the news will cause thousands to join the I insurgents under the impression that the United States is really hostile to Spain. INTERNAL REVENI ES. Re|»ort of the Fiscal Year Shown a Gain of Nearly *OO.OOO. Washington special: A statement pre- I pared at the Treasury Department shows the aggregate receipts from internal reve- | nue sources during the eleven months of i the fiscal year ending May 30, 1895, to have i been $131,420,636. a gain of about $89,400 over the same period last year. The re- ! ceipts from the several sources of revenue I are given as follows: Spirits. $74232.200: same period last year, $75,860,447; tobacco, $27,215,082; same period I last year. $26,081,580: fermented I liquors. $28,046,059: same ]*erio<l last year, 1 $27,821,051; oleomargarine, $1,323,861; same ’ period last year. $1,619,706: income tax, $77,130; miscellaneous sources, $526,801: . same period last year. $137,608. During the month of May there was a decrease from May. 1894. of $1,858,632 in the receipts from withdrawals of spirits, and I $7,632 from oleomargarine. The increases were: Tobacco, 139.758: fermented liquors, $283,708: miscellaneous sources, sl6,- ’ 444. _____ A Death Blow to Roby. In an exhaustive opinion handed down j by the Indiana Supreme Court and in which , opinion ail the Judges concur, the Gov- ! ernor gained a substantial victory over the | Roby Rating Association, his contentions being fully sustained by the court. The i laws of Indiana provide that no racing meet ; shall last more than fifteen days and ! thirty days must intervene lietween each ; meet by the association. The Roby as- j sociation has been changing its name every \ fifteen days to conform to the law, but the ; court now says: "The contention of the racing association that it has the right to sublet the track and thus provide for continuous races is plausible, but such a construction of the law would defeat its w hole purpose.” Protecting Italians. A telegram has been sent by the Italian counsel at Denver to Governor Hughes, asking him to protect the Italian laborers in the Congress mines, eighty miles north of Pho-nix, Anz., adding that the consul had telegraphed Secretary Olney the situation and asked his interference to protect their lives. Later a telegram from Secretary Onley arrived say ing. "Protect the Italian miners at Congress mine.” N. O. Murphy, delegate to congress, telegraphed immediately to Congress and received the reply. “No trouble here: but few Italians employed.” Horribly Burned. A colored woman, eooki-g in the farm!' of 11. ii Nance, a: Hopkinsville. Ky.. seized a skillet of grease that had caught fire on a stove and started for an open door to throw it out. w hen she accidentally ran against Mrs. Nance and her daughter with such violence as to upset the burning grease over all three of them, stating their clothing on fire. Mr. Nance was called, but did i not succeed in extinguishing the flames ' until his wife was probably fatally burned. Miss Nance and the cook were also dangerously, if not fatally, burned. Their condition is critical. The Business World. R.G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of. Trade says: From all parts of the United 1 States the best advices obtainable, tell of a rising tide of trade and industry which | threatens here and there to mount too fast. The volume of all business is by no means equal to that of 1892 as yet. though in some important branches it is larger than in that or any other year. Two influences of tre- ; mendous power contribute to the rise, en- j couraging crop news and the confident re- I pienismng of stocks, which have been for two years depleted to the utmost. Gen. Gresham's Will. The will of Gen. Walter Q. Gresham. ' late Secretary of State, has been admitted to probate at Chicago. It is w ritten in Judge Gresham's own hand writing, upon one sheet of paper, dated December 18, I 1888. and is as follows: “I give, devise, and bequeath to my wife, Matilda Gresham, all my estate, property, and effects, real, ; personal and every kind and description and wheresoever situated, to have and hold absolutely. 1 appoint my said wife sole executrix of this will." The Iron Trade, Iron and steel men report great improvement in every branch of their trade. Wages are being advanced and prices are going up. It is announced that the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company w ith general offices in New York, has posted a notice at its factories increasing wages of employes 10 per cent, to commence July 12. The advance affects nearly 6,000 men. News also eome that the Fair Hill rolling mills of Philadelphia, had advanced wages 10 per cent. The Prize King. Dan Creedon of Australia, whipped Billy Hennessy of Boston, in six rounds, in the Suffolk Athletic Club, West Newton street, Boston. It was plain to the 800 spectators present that Creedon would win after the first round, but Hennessy made a plucky battle while it lasted. In the sixth round, when he was floored with a left-hand punch, which dazed him, he made a desperate attempt to regain his feet, but a right-hand swing on the jaw put him out. Indian Skeletons Founds A large mound was opened at Lynn, Ind., for gravel for use on the streets and roads, w hen it was found to be an ancient burying ground. One hundred skeletons were exhumed, some of them being found at a depth of eight feet. They are supposed

to be the remains of Indians of the monndbuilding age. Some w ere standing erect, others sitting, and some of the heads were between the knees. A number of spear heads, arrow beads, stone axes and rude implements were also found among tha skeletons. Cowboy* and Indian* Fight. Wichita special: There was a fight between cowboys and Cheyenne Indian cattle thieves on the North Canadian River in the neighborhood of Hennessy, in which one of the braves was shot through the shoulder by Jack Burk, a cowboy. The Indians at the Cantonment reservation are greatly excited and swear vengeance. A raid upon the ranch to which the cowboys belong is hourly expected. Cabinet Crisis In Great Britain. London, special: A cabinet council has been summoned. Mr. Campbell-Benner-man, secretary of state for war, will offer to resign because of the reduction by the house of commons of the vote for supply of small arms and ammunition contained in the war estimates. A section of the liberals urge the ministers to call a general party conference to consider the matter of dissolving parliament. South Bend Tragedy. Lawyer F. P. Creed was shot by Daniel T. Maes, proprietor of a cider press at South Bend. Ind., and probably fatally injured. Maes tired three shots into Creed's body during an altercation over financial matters. The shooting occurred at the cider mill. Maes had become embarrassed lately and being pressed by his creditors and seeing ruination staring him in the face, became desperate. Four Tramps Killed. A disastrous freight wreck occurred on the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Railway, almut five miles from Bedford. Ind. A through freight train jumped the track and caused a broken w heel. Fourteen cars were ditched, and it is reported that four tramps were killed. Three carloads ot cattle were crushed to death. Total Japanese Casualties. A list of the total casualties in the Japanese armies during the war has been officially published, six hundred and twenty-three were killed m battle and 172 died of wounds. Two thousand nine hundred and eighty one were wounded, but not fatally, and 2.479 died of cholera and 2.981 of other diseases. Tile Price ot Oil Raised. The Standard has made another two-cent raise in the price of Ohio oil. the price nowbeing 79c a barrel. Another shortage in the supply on hand is reported to be the cause of the raise, which was made in the hope of again stimulating the independent producers in their efforts to bring the oil to the surface. Distressing Accident. While attempting to adjust a belt at Morris' factory, at Beaver Dam, Ohio, Archie Ransbottom was caught and w hirled around the shaft until he was battered to death. His father witnessed the accident, but did not know it was bis son until he was taken dow n dead. Katie Couldn’t. Wait. Katie McCoy. 14 years of age. residing on Lawrence street. Philadelphia, committed suicide under peculiar circumstances. Her elder sister promised to present her with a shirt waist. The sister disappointed the child, whereupon Katie hanged herself with a clothes line. Request to Mluisters. The National Christian Citizenship League, w ith headquarters at 153 La Salle street, Chicago, has asked, the clergymen of the country to preach on “Christian Citizenship” on Sunday. June 30, and offers to furnish aggressive literature to those applying for it. Fourteen Poisoned. At a family reunion near Tilton, lowa, fourteen persons have been poisoned. Jacob Trout died, but the others will recover. The poison is supposed to have been in water taken from an unused well A dead bat was found in the well. aL Edict. Archbishop Corrigan has issued an edict calling noon all female members of the Roman Catholic Church to refrain from bicycle riding, on tire grounds that he regards it as degrading to women. Wails Fail. ilea number of workmen were engaged in demolishing the old City Hall at San Francisco, the wall fell killing Janies Williamson and injuring N. Nelson and John Sieber. Lightning’s Franks.

UNION OF TWO SEAS. FORMAL OPENING OF GERMANY’S NEW CANAL. Grand Celebration of a Triumph of Modern Engineering —lnternational Naval Flotilla One of the Feature* -Importance of the W aterway. Boon to Commerce. The most important event in the history of the German Empire since the crow ning of William I. in the palace of Versailles was the opening of the North Sea and Baltic canal. This recently completed waterway was formally opened to commerce Thursday, with international ceremonies attended with splendid fetes, at which the governments of the civilized world were represented. Four of our crack cruisers, the New York. Columbia, San Francisco and Mar blehead. and vessejs of other nations took part in the splendid naval review. Kiel during the festivities presented a ■trikingly effective appearance The flags of all nations were hoisted along the AlJ® mV! A'EMPEROR WILLIAM OF (iFRMAXT. ater, and the sentries at the doors of the principal hotels denoted the presence there of the imperial guests. Naturally the chief center of attraction was the seaport, where the display of warships attracted many thousands of spectators. Those of the United States, Great Britain. Italy and Austria were especially admired. Th* war vessels of fourteen nations hoisted their flags to the strains of the anthems of their respective countries. The Emperor of Germany opened the ceremony by passing in through the canal in the imperial yacht, thus breaking the frail thread stretched across the entrance. The most brilliant feature of the series of festivities was the laying of the last

stone in the building of the canal and in the international banquet which followed, this marking virtually the close of the official program of festivities. This ceremony took place Friday in the open air at Hottenau. The spot where the Emperor performed this ceremony was embelished by handsome designs in landscape gardening, and the lighthouse, in close proximity, showed already the three bronze reliefs of Emperors William 1., Frederick 111. and William 11. His Majesty Emperor William I. laid the corner stone of the Baltic canal on June 3, 18.87, and accompanied his blows with the hammer by the words, “In honor of united Germany, to her permanent welfare, in token of her might and power.” The lighthouse and the block of masonry into which the Emperor placed the finishing stone were surrounded by enormous scaffoldings rising amphitheatrically in a semi-circle and affording seating room for about 15, 000. From these seats the whole space where the banquet took place and the bay where the international naval demon stration came off could be overlooked with ease. The grand banquet, at which 1.000 guests participated, including the diplomatic representatives of the various nations. was given in a structure of original design, 'he latter being based on an idea of the Emperor himself. The structure was a sac simile of a huge vessel of ancient construction as in vogue in the seventeenth century. Canal Cost $38,500,000. After the labors of eight years and an expenditure of about $38.500,<5a1, with labor obtained at 75 cents a day the great canal which joins the Baltic sea to the German ocean is open for use. It intersects the peninsula of Schleswig-Holstein from Brunsbuttel, near the mouth of the -Ibe nver. to Hottenau, on the Kiel bay and opposite that city, a distance of about fifty-nine miles. For centuries vague projects connecting the North sea and Baltic ocean had been discussed, no less than sixteen different schemes having been advocated since the sixteenth century It was not, however, until 1887 thit the foundation stone of the present waterway was laid by Emperor William L, and since then the work has been rapidly pushed being finished within the stipulated time' Th.' canal is 217 feet wide at the surface', 8b feet at the bottom and 30 feet deep thereby accommodatin', the largest

Prosnect of a Good Yield inGrest B itain -Reduced Acreage in I rance. The condition of crops in forei.-n conn tries is attracting much attention at the present time, and the report* then-on is sued by the Agricultural Department a« quite full. The main reports are as fol Great Briiain—The varying condition* of weather have already affected the prospective hay crop, which cannot now be an average, owing to the absence of ram. ibe imports of hay are returning to the averages which existed before the gr--at drought of 1803, the figures for April being 8.121 tons (of which 5,2.83 camo from the United States!, against tons in April of last year. Cereals throughout the country look promising and th* prospect i* f n r a very < top. France —The greater part of May has been unusually cold, but considerable rain has fallen and winter growths are in tne condition. Spring sowings are a- reported as doing well. Authorities anticipate a wheat crop of 28i»,(.M*.>.<.M.W to 290.000,000 bushels, a falling off from last year, due to reduced acreage. Germany —An average wheat crop is now expected, but al! reporta concur m estimating the rye crop as under the average. Austria Hungary—Not withstanding suf* ficient moisture, the prospects for cereal crops is characterized as a bare average, owing to the damage done by the extremely cold antecedent weather. Kuumania—The spring crops have been planned under far table condi nns-W .eH and rape seed are reported as doing well. Russia—The general tenor of reports is unsatisfactory. Spring seeding accomplished very late in northern and central governments. From the Caucasus the reports are favorable. Extensive floods are reported from Poland and the southwest districts. Drought and black frost have effected some injury, it is reported, in the Black Sea district. Sweden and Airway -The reports from these countries are more gloomy than from any other part of Europe, owing to the extreme dryness of the spring It is

generally admitted that both wheat and rye crops will be disappointing. The season is very late and heavy frosts hava continued well through the month. Italy—rhe weather has been favorable and a good average crop is expected. Belgium and the Netherlands—Season backward, but every indication of good average crop. Spain—Extremely cold weather for the season has cheeked growths, hut cereals are generally reported as in favorable condition. PROSPECTS FOR GOOD CROPS. Reports Indicate a Heavy Yield in the West and Northwest, Recent crop reports are to the effect that the outlook was never better than it is now. Along nearly all ’be Western railway systems the winter wheat crop is being harvesto.l and will be al-.ut half of what is considered normal. Rains have recently fallen over the entire West, particularly in Illinois, where complaints were being made of damage to hay, nn d near the southern boundaries, to oats. The actual damage to oats, however, will not affect general results. Spring wheat looks well, both in the West and Northwest. Prospects for a good corn crop are all that could be desired, al! reports received merely adding to the favorable oytlook. In Illinois hay is short, as it is also in southern Missouri, but in lowa. Nebraska, Colorado, and especially Wyoming, large yields may be depended upon. Potatoes and fruit promise well, and the recent rains have led the farmers to put in la's ’ raps of potatoes, corn, and flax wherever there was an acre available. In soma sections of Illinois grain has had more ram than was good for it. though in ths same districts corn has held its own. Oats cover a large acreage everywhere, and with the possible chance of lodging through storms or local damage from rust, which may come later, with extreme heat and moisture together, the crop seems assured. An unusually large amount of sugar beets has been planted m eastern Nebraska, showing that farmers have.confidence in that crop, notwithstanding past failures. Railroads are preparing to move an immense harvest. s - Graham, an artist, formerly ot Chicago, has mysteriously disappeared from the Hotel Mateo. San FranciX
