GKEENSBUKW, Ind., Jan. 28.—Through freight train 98 oi: the Eig Four, running between Riverside, O., and Indianapolis, .broke i:i two while on the down grade just beyond Weislerg. The train consisted of an engine and 16 cars of merchandise. The first eight cars ran away from the other section and the latter, catching up, bumped into the others, derailing the train and piling cars in every direction.

Bent Colt and Edward L. King, both brakemen, were caught in the wreck, the latter instantly killed and the former severely injured. King lives near Sunman, Ind., and was once an engineer on the road. His body required three hours' search among the debris before it was recovered.

TOO MUCH PRESSURE.

Natural Gas Pumping: Station Blown With Fatal Kesults.

REDKEY, Ind., Jan. 23.—Excessive pressure on the 12-inch natural gas main at the big pumping station of the Ohio and Indiana Pipe Line company, one mile south of here, caused it to give way, and the gas, pouring into the boiler room, caught fire and exploded. The building was wrecked and consumed, and the loss is estimated at $100,000.

Palmer Goodwin, one of the employes, was burned to death, and Joseph Watkins, chief engineer, of Lafayette, was so badly burned that his recovery is doubtful. Mr. Watkins is the father of Charles W. Watkins of Indianapolis. The pumping station supplied Piqua, Springfield, Dayton, Wapakoneta, Lima and other points, in western Ohio with gas.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—The senate session yesterday was marked by notable speeches and notable debates. Late in the afternoon a controversy occurred between Mr. Sherman, Mr. Gorman, Mr. Teller and others, which led to the most spirited financial debate that has occurred since the present congress convened. Mr. Sherman spoke at length and with great earnestness deprecating the thrusting of an "old worn out issue"—the silver question—into the senate at a time when practical legislation was imperative. Mr. Teller and Mr. Gorman answered Mr. Sherman from their respective standpoints, while Mr. Aldrich, Mi\ Lindsay, Mr. Gray and others took part in the exciting debate.

Mr. Wolcott's speech criticising the president's attitude on the Venezuelan question was the notable event of the early part of the day. For an hour the senator' commanded the attention of a crowded chamber and overflowing galleries.

Two important reports were made by the committee on foreign affairs, one strongly presenting the serious condition of affairs in Turkey, and urging prompt action by the civilized powers, and an adverse report on Mr. Call's resolution calling for the official dispatches of Uuited States consuls in Cuba.

Iu the House.

fho

Chicago public building. It was finally passed. The house adopted the report of the elections committee in favor of Harry Miner of iNew York, in a contest brought for his seat by Timothy J. Campbell.

A joint resolution was adopted to extend the time for the completion of an incline railway on West- mountain, Hot Springs reservation, Arkansas.
