Cincinnati, October 22—A disastrous collision occurred at 4:40o’clock this morning on the Cincinnati Soothern Railway, in a tunnel a quarter of a mile north of Sloan’s Valley station. The trains involved were freigbt No. 22 north-bonnd and passenger No. 5 south-bound. No. 5 leaves Cincinnati at 8 p. m. Another passenger train leaves Cincinnati an hour earlier. They

He grabbed a shotcrun and ran to the spot and just as Grubb was in the act oi stabbing her, fired the charge, taking the top of Grubb’s head off.

8 o’clock 'the patient's eonvuis again began. Witness saw tbe tient Wednesday morning at 11 a. m. and she was resting quietly but very weak. Witness was not sick after eating at Pettit's, but Mrs. Julian had cholera morbus. On croafcexaminatiou uituess testified that Mrs. Whitehead carried Mrs. Pettit’s breakfast in on a tmy, using both bunds, and upon bringing the remnants out into the dining room again, returned immediately to the sitting room. Monday night Mrs. Pettit said to Mrs. Whitehead, “Don’t go away; I want to know that you are in

the house.'’

MUs Lizzie Julian being called, said she was a member of tbe Shawnee Mound . Church. She was at the parsonage on Monday, July 15, 1889, and stayed there that night. "Before morning the patient was given an injection and a whisky bath; the lormer by Pettit, tbe latter by Mrs. Wallace. Patient ate breakfast at 8, and at 8:30 had convulsions, duriuv which her arms were stiff from the elbows down. Mrs. Mary E. Kerr was called. She is a member of the Shawnee Mound Cnurch. She saw Mrs. Pettit for the first time during her illness at 7:80 Tuesday evening, and stayed until Wednesday morning at 0 o’clock. Patient was in convulsions, and would throw her head back, raising her bodv from the bed. She complained of itclunjr, but when witnets left Wednesday morning she was resting quietly. Pettit administered a powder at 11 p. m., preparing it at a table in the presence of* Mrs. Hawthorne. At 11 Tuesday night witness heard voices upstairs. Did not know then who it was, but thought it was Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead in the room with Adine. Witness saw Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead at the lounge that night, he bending over toward her. There was a light in the room, but no other persons. Once during the evening Mrs. Pettit cried Unt in a convulsion, and Pettit leaped from his couch to assist her. On . cross-examination witness said that chloroform had been administered constantly for six or seven hours. Yhe witnets here became refractory and would not describe the convulsions until forced to do so by the Court. Chloroform was administered all night, even during the patient’s sleep. No convulsions followed the powder which Pettit gave at 4 a. m. Dr. Black remarked to Dr. Yeager, as the latter was preparing his medicine. “You arc more generous with your medicines than I am.’’ Witnessdid not hear Pettit crying that night nor heartMrs. Pettit tell Mrs. Whitehead to go out and console him. Witness ate breakfast at the parsonage Wednesday morning and was not sick afterward. Neither was anybody else. * Lizzie A. Meharry, wife of Alexander Meharry, was called. She is a member of the Shawnee Church and was at the parsonage Tuesday afternoon. She saw convulsions which sho described as they have already been described, and left at 5:30 to take a telegram to Wingate, calling Mrs. Ford, of South Bend. She helped prepare the body for burial. It waa stiff and tbe face distorted, the head drawn a little to one side. As time passed the body became more rigid. There were two ugly scratches on the lace and two on the body. The examination of Mr*. Alex Meharry was continued this morning. On a trip to Lafayette, while Mrs. Pettit was in South Bend, Mrs. Whitehead once put her head on Pettit’s shoulder. Mrs. Sophia Meridith was the next witness. She is a member of the Shawnee Mound Church. She was the first at the parsonage on Tuesday morning, when those who were there said Mrs. Pettit was threatened with congestive chills. Saw two slight convulsions that morning. The meals were prepared with dishes at the house, and no one was sick afterward. Before the first administration of chloroform Mrs. Pettit objected, because she had had trouble with it once, when having her teeth fixed. Mrs. Annie Francis was called. She is a member of the Shawnee Mound Church. About half an hour before the death of Mra. Pettit she saw Pettit come into tha sick room from the dining-room with a cup containing what he said was oil. lie was looking into the cup and stirring the contents with a spoon. He held bis wile up y with one arm auu administered the medicine with the other, saying: “Hattie, this is a big dose; take two or three swallows.” ~ It attracted the attention of Witness because he did not ask her to hold the cup she being close by. After tbe death Pettit said, “My God is sha dead.” The words were cold and chilled, said witness at the time. The arms of Mrs. Pettit wore so rigid that her underclothes had to be cut off.

Sabbath.

The proceedings of the council opened this morning with divine exercises, conducted by Rev. Dr. Jenkin.Lloyd Jones and other divines. The council will bedn session for at least oue week. At this afternoon’s session a report will be presented showing that the denomination commenced with the formation of a church of seven members at Newport, R. I., on Christinas Day of the year 1671. From this other congregations were organized in Western Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Jersey. In 1800 the denomination had barely a foothold in Pennsylvania, New York and West

Virginia.

To-day it is organized not only in the States already named, bat also in Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi, and numbers among the membership some of the most inttueniiai Baptists in the country. They differ only from the regular Baptists in keeping the seventh day holy instead of the first, believing that to be the day set aside by the Creator and that<110 man or church

has authority to change the day. Church Congress „t Cnivcrsaiista.

Rochester, <)ctober22.—A grand church congress of the Universalists of the United Htates opened this morning in the First Universalist Church. Nearly every State in the Union is represented. The congress has not been called for ecclesiastical, legislative or financial work, but for the discussion of important questions relating to religion, morals and education. At this morning’s session a paper on “Christ and Creation” was read by Rev. J. C. Adams, one on “Christianity in the first and the nineteenth centuries” by Rev. Augusta Chapin, and one on the “Relation of conscience and courage to immortality” by Rev. Sophie Gibbs. The congress will be in session throughout the week. The twenty-first annual conventiou of the Woman’s Centenary Association of the Universalist church, and the annual convention of the Young People’s Christian Union of the same church is also in session

in this city.

Attacking tbe Alliance Candidate. ISoecial to Tbe Indianapolis N own. I Poreyville, October 22. —August Breutane, Democratic Election Commissioner of Vanderburg County, has protested against the name of Colonel J. S. Wright being printed on the election tickets, claiming that of the 216 names signed to the petition, as required by the new law, nearly forty are in the same handwriting and fraudulent. Colonel Wright is the F. M. B. A. candidate for Congress in that district, and as he has been indorsed by the Republicans the protest has caused a great commotion. The effect will be, if the protest is regarded, to place his name entirely on the Rennblican ticket, so that in this way his candidacy to the F. M. B. A. will not be lost.

Locomotive* in the Holy Land. Washington, October 22.—United States Consul Henry Gilman, at Jerusalrm, reports to the Department of State, under date of September 22, tbat_three American locomotives, made in Philadelphia and intended for the new railway from Jerusalem to Jaffa, have arrived at Jaffa. The Consul says it must interest our oitizens to know that the first locomotive ever used in this ancient laud were made in the, new world. An Illinois Cave discovered. Galena, 111., Oetober 22.—A party of Galena hunters discovered a remarkable cave yesterday afternoon, near Pilot Knob, about four miles from this city. It was explored to the distance of half a mile or more and found to contain many rooms or vaulted openings, lined from top to bottom with stalactites, glistening cubes of mineral and other beautiful geological formations. Further investigation of this subterranean wonder is soon to be made,

more on account of a freight wreck which occurred south of that place last night. When the track was clear the foremost Cincinnati train started out from Somerset first and met and passed safely a northbound train. Then at a safe distance behind the fated No. 5 started"out. Freight train No. 22 north-bound was side-tracked at Sloan’s Valley. When the first Cincinnati train passed south, the crew of the freight appear to have overlooked the fact that No. 5 was to follow, and they pulled out and started northward. Less than a quarter of a mile away th#y entered a tunnel which is onesixth of a mile long. In the most hopeless place that train mefi ever met death the engines of the two traini dashed into each other, and the cars following jammed into each other in a mass. Then came the added horror of conflagration. No description of the scenes has yet been made; only the bare results have b^een telegraphed to the officials of the road here. These are, that Firemen Gould and Welch, Brakeman John E. Montgomery, Express Messenger Ed Ruffner and a mail agent werfl killed. Engineer Taylor, of the passenger train, and Pimlott, of the freight train, were badly burned. The baggage master was injured. No passengers were killed. If any were injured the names have not yet been ascertained. The burning of the trains in a tunnel renders it impossible to clear the track as readily as it could be done in open ground, the smoke and heat preventing men from entering. Transfers will be made until the tunnel can be cleared. There were two mail agents on the train, J. F. Gayle and C. F. Doegan; which one of them is killed is not yet known. Ed Ruffner, the messenger of the United Htates Express Company, who was killed, was a married man, living at Bond Hill, near this city. Wreck at Birmingham, Ala. Birmingham, Ala., October 22.—A passenger train on the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham Railroad, which left here at 9 o’clock last night west-bound, went out, leaving the sleeper and <*onductor in the station. Discovering that fact, six miles out of town, the engineer began backing into Birmingham. At Thomas Furnace, three miles out of the city, the backing train met an outgoing freight* and there was a terrible collision. Several passengers in the rear foach were killed and a number

wounded.

Those wounded have been brought to Birmingham and are at various hotels. They are: Mrs. W. F. Wagner, and two children, of Greenville, 8. C., on their way to Foulkes (Station, Tenn., badly scalded; I. O. Franklin, drummer, of Nashville, dying; George W. Davis, Shell Mound, Tenn.', leg broken and otherwise hurt; J. H. Finnel, of New Orleans, back hurt; J. A. Taylor, Magnolia, Ark., head mashed and eye knocked out; W. B. Flanigan, # of Memphis, slightly hurt. W. C. Burton, of Cordoviaf Ala., scalded and badly mashed; J. A. and J. M. Beard, of Nauvo, Ala., internally hurt; E. P. Rose, of Linn, Ala., arm broken; Rev. H. G. Smith, of Jasper, ribs broken and dangerously hurt; Dr. Sanford, of Hoi Springs, Ark!, slightly injured; A.L. Hill, of Birmingham, Ala., hurt slightly; Hon. B. M. Long, of Cordovia, bruised on ankle; M. D. Towulee and Walter Towulee, of Townlee, Ala.,

slightly injured.

Four or five dead are reported to be under the wreck, but the names are not yet ascertained. The night was blustering and

rainy.

A Twit End Cnlllmon.

Kanrah city, Mo., October 22.—A seri ons tail-end wreck occurred this morning at 7:20 o’clock on IR* Union Pacific Railroad one mile and a f west of Armourdale, a suburb of this tv. in which nine persons were seriously injured, and the engineer of the Rock Island train fatally. The Rock Island uses the Union Pacific track into tbe city. An east bound freight, which leaves the depot before the Union Pacific passenger, was delayed near the scene of the accident this morning, and as there was a very heavy fog, placed torpedoes on the track to. warn the following train. The passenger engineer warned by the torpedoes stopped his train and before a flagman could be sent back to warn the east-bound Rock Island train which was following, the Rock Island train crashed into the “Wathena” Pullman sleeping car, of tbe Union Pacific train. The Rock Island engine was completely wrecked and the engineer was

buriea under the debris,.

— The fireman jumped and probably saved his life, but received severe bruises. The

damage is estimated at $60,000. The following are the injured:

Chicago, October 22.—The members of the Window Glass Manufacturers’ Association, who held a preliminary meeting in this city several weeks ago, convened yesterday. The following officers were elected: James A. Chambers, President; Thomas F. Hart, Muncie, Ind.. Vice-President; William Loefller, Pittsburg, Treasurer; O. E. Frazec, Chicago, Secretary. It was decided that the general offices of the company shall be in Pittsburg. The report of the administrators who have had charge of the ojierations of the American Window Glass Company, organized to take charge of the output of the factories in the combination, came before the meeting and was disposed of after a short discussion. The meeting spent nearly five hours in endeavoring to

house. Mr. George Uhl testified: “She called me a Jew. 1 am a good Christian and a deacon of a church. She knows I do not like to be called a Jew, and that is the reason she always calls me one.” Miss Bertha Uhl said Mni. Buderos had called her a Jew, and abased her. “She is sweet-voiced woman,” this witness said, “but when she scolds she does it in a very loud voice.” Mrs. J'eanette Prossin said the defendant had called people cows and fools, and Mr. Uirich Beneckc testified that Mrs. Bnderos had caBed him “an old gray-haired ass.” Mrs. Buderos had many witnesses to swear that she wns a peaoeable women, and bad never caused any disturbance. Despite the testimony of tin she was acquitted.

The initial cause of the collision was a wreck which occurred last night at Eiihu Station, two miles below Somerset. A mixed train was stopping to leave a car and had not yet got into motion when a freight came up in the rear and struck the rear ear, causinga serious wreck. Young Mr. Payne, a commercial traveler for the firm of Pierson & Clark, Lexington, Ky., had both legs crushed and hassinc^ died. The delay to the passenger trains by this wreck caused the mistakeof the engineer and conductor of the freight train No. 22, bv which the tunnel collision occurred. Fortunately, the passenger train had not entirely gone into the tunnel when the crash came, and so the three sleepers which did not leave the track served as a means of escape for the passengers. These sleepers were detached and drawn away from the burning train, but the baggage car, mail car and two coaches were burned. At 11 o’clock to-day

and smoke prevented anything being done to clear the tunnel.

General Manager Carroll left by this morning’s train for the scene and will personally direct whatever is necessary to be done.' Tbe railroad officials have beard of but one passenger injured. His name is not given but he has been removed to Somerset. The two engineers, Taylor and Pimlott, are now reported as not fatally in-

jured.

Paris, October 22.—The Figaro to-day publishes the last installment of its series of articles entitled “Les Coulisses De Boulangism.” The article which appears to-day states that alter the reverses suffered by the Boulangists at the last general election for members of the Chamber of Deputies, General Boulanger wished to flee to America. M. Rochefort, however, persuaded him to go to the Island of Jersey

instead.

In concluding its articles, the Figaro says that they were issued in good faith, with the object of exposing tbe knavery of Gen-

eral Boniauger.

Calling tar Law Enforcement. IBnecist to The Inaiaaeooli* News.;

Tbe petition will be signed by over a thousand young teoplc of the city. They will also petition Congress for a change iti the postal laws so as to exclude objectionable matter now beingsent out through the mails. The postal laws now interfere with the enforcement of State laws on this subject in several States. This is meant as a special effort to suppress the sale of the Police Gazette, Police News and like publications in Indiana

and Ohio.

Washington, October 22.—The President finds it hard lo locate himself in the White House for work, owing to the painting, electric lighting and general improvement going on.

The Author of that Fhrnse Has Views on Women Preachers.

Richmond, Va., October 21.—Rev. John Jasper returned home Saturday, after an absence of two months. ’For some months past the parson has not been well, and in order to gain strength and improve his condition his congregation granted him a vacation. This time, or the most of it, the colored divine spent in the neighborhood of Beaver Dam, Hanover County. Sunday the pateon occupied his pulpit for the first time since he left on his summer outing. Jasper’s congregation was fairly large, but did not begin to compare with the crowd that in time past has listened to his famous sun sermon. Among those present Sunday were a number of ladies. It seems that for some time past, in imitation of some of their white sisters in the North and West, the colored women here have taken to public exhorting, and sometimes, it may be, officiating at funeral ceremonies. This Parson Jasper opposes. Speaking on this subject he said: “It never was ordained by God for women to preach. God gave man the law to govern tbe world, and woman is only his helpmate. If a woman was ordained of God to preach she would have to take the same fare that a man would—that Is. she would have to be a traveling evangelist; she would have to go and preach and organize churches, and be exposed in traveling in the night air and in the mountain regions and in the valleys and on the islands of the sea -wherever Providence would cast her lot she would have to go the same as a man would, and she would have to be qualified by law to celebrate marriages, and she could not do that, and she would have to, if she was a preacher and was called upon to take care of a church.She would have to sit in the chair and hear all those cases a hich would not be proper for a woman to hear, if sbe was called to the pastorate of a church.” FENIANS IN SESSION. A Biennial Convention—Military Companlea Are Now to be Formed.

New YorIc, October 22.—To-day all appearances indicate that the ehancee for an amicable settlement of the base hall troubles are smaller than ever. The independent feeling which existed yesterday among tbe members of the various conference committees has been strengthened and has now become a determination to stand by the course already outlined by each committee. It is admitted by many that the present state of affairs is due to the action of the players in forcing their way into the Conference Committee of the Player’s League. The question asked by all this morning at the meeting was whether the National League would confer with the players Ward, Hanlon and Irwin. The Conference Committee of the National league has said that they would not, and the capitalists of the Players’ League have said that they would not enter into such conference. During the morning the various committees held private conferences, the result of which could not be ascer-

The three Greek letters, Phi Gamma. Delta, give the fraternity its name and are the initials of its motto, which is one of the few secrets ot the society. The badge is (lisnioiid.shaped and consists of a band ol gold abont a center of black enamel.
