BRAZILIAN INSURGENTS DOING GREAT DAMAGE. Death of the Founder of Notre Dame—. Thieving: Circus Employes —Murderer Stone Is Prolific of Confessions—Ocean Shipments of Live Stock. Crano Is Hit by a Shell. The' London Times has th 3 following advices from Kio ‘do Janeiro: The armed steamer Crano, while leaving Rio, was hit by a shell and badly damaged. She reports that forty of her crew were killed. The insurgents have an abundance of munitions of war. Decisive action by Admiral Mello is expected shortly. The government is mounting guns on the city batteries. The Republica rammed the transport Rio do Janeiro, which was conveying 1,100 troops to Santos, and 500 of the troops were drowned. Admiral Mello confirms the truth of thts report. New York advices say six more United States merchant ships have been purchased by the government of Brazil for use as war ships. ’1 his gives to the Brazil Government ten new vessels. There was a rumor that Dom Augusto, a son of the Princess Leopoldina, the second daughter of Dom Pedro 11., was now on his way to Brazil and that if Admiral Mello succeeded a Prince of the House of Bracanza would be re-established on the throne of Brazil. Princess Isabella, the wife of the Comte D’Eu and Dom Pedro's he:r, is very unpopular, and if Admiral Mello made an attempt to restore the Braganza dynasty it is probable that he would seat either one of the two sons of I- abella or else Dom Augusto, who is very popular with all classes

CREMATED IN THE WRECK Ann Arbor Train Runs Into a Sink Hole and Three Men Eos- Their Lives. Three more deaths have been added to the long list of those recently caused by railrujrtTdlsastors in Michigan. The unfortunates were members of the crew of a freight train which ran into a sink hole three miles north of Hamburg Junction. The dead are: Charles Beaulieu, engineer; George Alberts, fireman; Thomas Mulligan, brakemun. Ihe catastrophe was rendered more horrible by the taking fire of the train and the consequent incineration of the bodies of Beaulieu and Alberts. The corpse of Mulligan has been recovered. The spot where the disaster occurred is at the mouth of a deep cut overliung with trees, which renders it impenetrably dark. The soil of the place Is loose and sandy, making the construction of a firm roadbed a matter of no Inconsiderable difficulty. Recent rains have caused a large - washout at the place, and that night the sink-hole had settled ten or twelve feot The train, which was a fast freight on the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan Railway, was traveling at tlie rate of fully thirty miles an hour when it reached the scene of the disaster. The track was clear, and in the darkness It was Impossible f. r the engineer to possess even an inkling of the danger by which he was menaced. As the train left the gully the eaglno plunged without a moment’s warning into the pitfall, and turned completely over, killing the occupants of the cab instantly and burying them in a mass of wreckage The trainmen In j the caboose were thrown to the floor, bdt ! quickly scrambled to their feet and ran to j the assistance of the engineer and fireman. ! Even before they reached the front of the i train a sheet of flame had wrapped the ! wreck of the engine and precluded all possibility of approaching it. Oil from the broken tank spurted over the engine and was blazing fiercely in an instant. The fire quickly communicated itself to the rest of the train and before long almost every car was on fire

TRADE IS DISTURBED. Wheat Breaks from 65 1-2 to 64 1-3 Cents anil Closes Heavy. The scare among the wheat shorts which existed as the regular session of the CUieago Board of Trade closed Tuesoay. when 65J4c was bid for December, boiled over on the curb a few minute* after and subdued the fierceness of the bull i re, but not until some unfortunate shorts with too slender margins had paid the session had closed. The chief cause of the advance was the report of the prospective speedy repeal of the silver purchase. Those reports appeared to have been based upon good substantial grounds, but a change hud occurred Wednesday morning In the manner of looking at the probable effect of repeal upon the price of wheat It will posssibly revive the general trade of the country.it was admitted, but It will make wheat none the less over-plentiful, and unless either the receipts become smaller or the foreign demand more urgent It can have no lasting influence upon the value of wheat, it was argued. With that view, prevailing, not only In Chicago but apparently at the other centers of wheat speculation in country, the market opeqed weak with sellers of December at from 65?j|c to and a generally downward tendency during the first hour and a half of the session. Chicago receipts on Wednesday were 134 cars; a year ago €32 cars were received. Minneapolis got 404 cars and Duluth 410, making together 874, compared with 740 for the corresponding time a year ago. The Liverpool niarkot was quoted steady at ; t d advance for American wheat.

MANY WILL HE DROPPED. Closing of the Fair Will Stagnate Labor Circles Somewhat. From present indications the closing of the World’s Fair will not be as productive of hard times to tho thousands of people who hait5 r been empioyod at Jackson park and by the various companies affected by tho exposition as many have supposed. There has been a general impression that the closing of the gigantic enterprise would throw thousands out of employment who would have little saved from their summer’s earnings and practically no prospect of work during the winter months. That many will be left In this condition is probable, but there is every reason to believe that the number will be exceedingly small compared with the total number who have been at work for the Exposition Company, the concessionaries, and tho allied Interests outside the grounds. Indeed, It is said that the workmen thrown on the market will make no appreciable difference In the condition of affairs. At least 3,050 men who now find employment at the World’s Fair grounds will probably be out of work by Jan. L The reduction In tho working force of the Exposition will not bo Immediate In most of tho departments, but the men will be dlsponsod with gradually. Big Pacific Mail Steamer Grounded. Tho City of Now York went ashore on Point Bonita in 6nn Francisco harbor Thursday afternoon, lust as she was starting on her voyage to China and Japan. Bhe was under a full bead of steam. Tue fog was very heavy. As soon as the ship struck there was a scene of wild confusion. The 1,200 Chinese In tho steerage sot up a howl that could be heard half across tho Golden Gate. Captain Johnston was wondorfully cool, however, and he and his officers soon restored order. Ihe tugs took off the two cabin passengers and all tho Chinese, but they could do nothing to dislodge tho vessel, as she was hard and fast. The captain had tried to go out what Is known as the Inner passage and in the thick fog had gono too near the rocka A fearful tide was running, which carried him on tho rocka When she struck the compartments were closed, but she soon had eight feet of water. Most of the cargo will be a total loss. Experts put the value of the vessel and cargo at a halfmillion dollars. Of treasure she carried $191,290 for China and Japan, of which three-quarters were Mexican dollara There is no Insurance on her.

Y„ and bis sister, Mrs. Margaret Hilllker, of Glenwood. have fallen heirs to $1,000,000 each, a fortune left by James G. Flood, of California, who was their undeBattle with Moors. The battle fought about the trenches before Mellila, which resulted in the death of Gen.

In Madrid. The engagement was commenced by General Ortega, who, at the head of the re-enforcements sent to Mellila, drove the Moors from the trenches they had occupied In front of the Spanish fortifications. The Moors fought desperately and with the crealest courage Many of iho Spaniards wore killed, and among them was the unfortunate Gem Margallo, who only forty-eight hours previously exposed his troops to a second defeat by sending a mere handful of men to the onslaught of the tens of thousands of Moors. Tho Spaniards nere amazed at the courage shown by the Moors In face of a terrible tiro the Moors charged recklessly forward until they managed to approach within twenty yards of the forts, driving tho Spaniards Into tho trenches before ihem and cutting the telephone and telegraph wires which had been erected in order to keep up communication with the outlying forts and trenches. It is rumored that there has been serious loss of life on both sides The situation of tho Spaniards Is said to be growing desperate and additional efforts are to be put forward to hasten the dispatch of re-enforeemonts to the front. The Moors were lead by priests

MAY SUFFER FOE COAL. Railroads Have Not Hauled Any Into Chicago and the Supply Is Low. Except for the comparatively small amount shipped in this summer by the lake transportation lines, no coal has been brought. Into Chicago for several months | past. Tho railroads have been taxed to ! their utmost to handle the World’s Fair | passenger traffic to the exclusion of almost | all oilier business, and tho hauling of coal, j which in other times has been such an imj portant Item of business at tills season of the year, has been for the most part abandoned. As a consequence of this condition of affairs coal dealer* are extremely short and their yards are almost entirely empty of coal, so much so In fact that the question of where fuel Is coming from, should a cold spoil set in, Is already a serious one. TRADE HOPE RETURNS. Stocks Go Up and Business Prospects Are Revived. R. G. Dun & Co. ’s Weekly Review of Trade sums up the situation as follows: Fort Is lu sight after a long and stormy voyage, and the prospect of a‘speedy end of the struggle over repeal has brought bright hopes to business. Stocks climbed rapidly for three days, banks relaxed restraints, commercial loans are more freely sought and made, and reports from all quarters show the. prevalence of moro hopeful feeling. This of Itself tends to prod uce some revival of consumption and of Industry which, nevertheless, has made but moderate progreis as yet. It is still too soon to expect much effort in trade and manufactures, and though monetary obstacles are 10 a large extent removed there si ill remain oilier legislative questions which create uncertainty.
