Both L'nuicc Forced lata the Air Knineera and Ftremea' Horribly Crashed Llstr the Killed and Injured. Ueadyille, Ta., December 01. The details of a wreck which occurred oa the New York, renusjlfania'and Ohio railread, five miles west of this city, at 0:30 this morning, proves the disaster to have teen therccfet horrible that ever occurred in this vicinity. The colliding trains were tte "Thnndeibolt," a through train from Chicago to New York, consisting of ta ei-Drees-, fcajrpage, smoker, ladies' car and two Pullrttn aleepers, due in this ci'.y at 5:30 a. in., acd freight train So. 23, a westbcrtd double-header. Both trains were over two hours lato, and the ejpress, beleg entitled to the right of way. was mnnirg without orders, dimply taking it for granted that the express waa in, Conductor Murray, of the freight, pulled out for Gereva, where he had orders agaiuet trains S and 82. Almost simnitareensly the trains swept by the last two intervening stations, Geneva and BnctcESD, only four miles apart, end as the word Hassent to the dispatcher's ctlice In this cily, tte inevitable leeult was cer- - tain. WEEEEFr TT.AISS MET. The two trains, the "Thunderbolt" running forty-nve miles, and the freight train fifteen miles an lour, met on a lorg, forest-bidden curve with a crash that was terrible to witness. Tassenger engine No. 57 ted freight engine No. M seemed to raise bedily in the air, and in an instant they were standing on their furnace eads, pilots pointed to the sky and their driven locked in an embiEceof death. And so they stood fo hours held firmly by the ruirs of the two trains on either side. Both ecgireers and l'remen of the two collidirg engines were crushed between the iron drivers, the mangled bodies of Etgineer Swan and Fireman flames pinned to death jnetas they were on the point of leaping from their engines. The siabt was sickenire, but wis oon covered from view by friendly blanket?. The bapgage car, express car and smoker of the passerger train "were completely wrecked. The taggtge car was telescoped into the smoker lite a wedee. SDlittinsU open and sweeping every seat from the floor. The total number of passengers on the train was fifty-three, fifteen cf whom were in tte tmoker. All of these were mere or leES injured, and William II. Stephenson, of Toledo. 0., died shortly iter he was taten from the ruins. The crath was beard for a great distance, and aoon the reighboxhood wa3 arouel and men and women running across the Held to the scene of the ruin. RELIEYI5G THE WOXSMD. The passengers who were not injured eeemed in a daze, and for a few moments the people eeemed speecblees wIU the horror cf the accident. The groans and cries thai soon came from the ruins brought people to 8 realization of the terrible situation, and in a very short time a large fores of men were at work systematically doinß all they could fcr tte wounded and dyirg. The lailrcai company, after dispatching two wrecking crews to the scene of the disaster, toon followed with a passenger train cn which to transfer the passengers of the wrecked train and bring the wounded and euch of the tfead as had been recovered to Weadville. The train was supplied with ttretcher, blankets and all the horrible paraphernalia for caring for the dead, and and the work of transferring the wounded as prosecuted quickly, jet almost in alienee. v. -The tveral physicians of the city who went out on the special train wer hnav attending to the wounds of the injured, and as fast as they could be taken out of he coaches willing hands carried them to the car which bad been especially prepared for their use. The wrecking crew worke d with a will, and soon a portion of the xcasgled remains cf Fireman Humes were taken from the wrech. The almost unrecoEgmzable form presented a aickenirsg eight. The limbs and lower part of the body were ground to pulr. The aged father cf Humes had arrived and his waillings when he gazed upon the distorted tody cf his son were heartrending. Engineer Swan was exposed to view, but so tightly was his body wedged In the wreck that no attampt was made to remove it. A portion of the body of George, and also the arm and shoulders of Fireman Irwin, could be seen. (XEAEIKU THE WRECK. I The work of clearing the wreck was proeecuted in the face cf a driving storm of aleet that lasted the entire afternoon, jet the horrible scenes possessed a peculiar fascination for men, and even women, who lingered about tbe ill-fated spot until the horrible work of the wreckers was completed. Those of the passengers who were tot Injured were transferred, and sent forward on other trains, while the dead and wounded were brought to this city, the former to be taken to the undertakers and the latter to the hospital. Trains were run around the wreck by the Meadville and LineBvilie read, nntil the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio was finally cleared, about 4 o'clock this afternoon. The railroad officials hhA1 nnki t the matter, and did everything in their power for the comfort of the injured. They eeemed to realize that the most terrible disaster in the history of the road wasupoa them, and they accepted the glooooy responsibility like men. Division Süper; Intendent C A. Brunn and Trainmaster John W. Babcock, from this city, were amozff the first to air! both remained and gave personal direction i u me wxeca. au me lniormation possible wm given cheerfully, and all done that aeemed right and proper under the circumstances.

When unrolled it presents an effective appearance with the white silver frings at the tcp and bottom cf the fifteea by eighteen itch sheer.

Mr. Stocktlager'a Appointment. Special Disratch to theUlobc-Democrat. Waseikotox, D. C, December 31. It is now generally understood in administration circles that actlcg Commissioner Stcck8!ager, of the General Land Oüice, is to be arpointed successor to the recently retired but manifestly ud lamented ''General" Sparks. Various candidates for the position have been considered by the President, but none were deemed entiry suitable who were willing to accept. ExGovernor Glick, of Kansas, now the United States Tension Agent at Topefca, was oflered the place, but after mature dbli oration he concluded that there wai hf.le ? refit In a transfer from a $1,000 offics m opeka to a $1,000 office in Waahinnton, while the political advantages o be gained by such a change were not such as to entirely gratify his vaulting ambition, ilr. Glick, therefore, declined the proSsred position, so the story goes, and the President decided to give Mr. Stocksmser a trial. Some doubts were emressed as to the Assistant Commissioner's executive ability, and he was placed on probation. Since aesumicg his duties as Acting Commissioner the business of the General land Ollice has been greatly accelerated. Although the department is fcreatly behind, on account of Mr. Sparks' policy of obstruction, the actiog Commissioner, as one of his admirers ex pre s es it, ' has male tbirga turn" since he assumed control. The President, in consequence, is said to be well pleased with the Indiana otfijial, atd his appointment will shortly be made. It ts then proposed to reconstruct the met to -J s of bnsicees in the General Land Office to a considerable extent, wltti a view to facilitating matters. More special agents are to be placed in the field, and the various local land offices throughout the West will he urged to Increase their respective forces and facilities for dispatching business. In this way it is hoped to remove at least a part of the stigma which baa attached to the department as a result of the administration of Sparks. Another Accoont, IXriSVlLLX. December 31. A rnrresnnnrfent at Somerset. Kv.. sends the follinparticulars of tbe Southern Railroad accident. The Cincinnati Southern Kailroad experienced one cf the worst wrecks to-dav since the road has been operated. At half past 1 o'clock trains Nos. 1 and 2, the fast mail trains, met near Sloan's Valley anJ on asleep grade, as well as a deep bill. The trains were rusning at full speed -and daehed into each other, so as to cause the lots cf tbe lives of four persons and injuring several others. The facts gleaned by the correspondent are about as follows: 'The dispatcher gave ordera for the trains to meet and pass at Summit, and one of the engineers mistaking the name'Summit' for 'Somerset,' went ahead. Both engines were demolished together with several cars. The following la the liet of dead and wounded: Lee Wi throw, of Cincinnati, baeeagemaater, throat cut, mouth crushed in and terribly mangled otherwise; was dead when found. Lawrence Collan, baggagemaater, from Ludlow, killed outright. James Severance, Jr., mail agent and son of James Severance, of Stanford, Ky., traveling for the firm of J. M. Robinson & Co., of Louisvile, Is fatally wounded. He can live only a few hours. Pat Murphy, fireman of engine 82, arm broken. Pat Taylor, engineer, an ugly gash in the face, and one of his eyes knocked out Taylor la a resident of thia place. He was left at Greenwood under the care of physicians. William Michael, engineer, escaped with a few bruises, which will not prove fa tad. . The dead and wounded ware brought to this place and comfortable quarters were given those yet alive.

The year closes without the relations between Russia and the ellied powers showing any symptom3 of arrelioration. The situatioa has became ore of the greatest perplexity, which nothing lets than eome authoritive deliverance frcm the Czar or the Kaiser can clear up. If the New Year's Imperial receptions pats over unmarked by explicit declarations giving assurances of peace, it will be held as certain that diplomacy has filled to check the progress toward on open rupture. The Cologne Gezelte has a vague announcement that mutual explanations wi!! soon oe made which promisa to avort all dai L-er of war. but reliable advices from St. Petersburg deny that there is the slight est chance in the ten?ion of affair)?. 0 NEW 1XMOAT1058 OF TKACE. oeneral on Schwelnitz, the German ambassador to Ru st ia, Las had frejant interviews with zi.

The road9 are blocked and railway trailia is re tarded. GaKcia is in a similar condition. If an order were given to-morrow for the mobilization of the Austrian trooD3 it wou.d be impossible to execate it except witl in a email radius cf Vienna, but a few weeks hence when the snowstorm has abated and the surface of the conatry is set! led into its winter's hardnesp, military operations could be eauly eHected. It is the oiinion of military authorities that Austria and Garmany will agrte upon winter as the bt time for a campaign in Poland, and that if war must be it should either commence ia February or be deferred until June. While the movement of troops in PulanJ are ceaurg, foices are being concentrate! in lit ssarabia, and this fact leads to tbe belief that Russia either distrustsiPoumauian neutrality or has othT plans than a campaign in Galicia. The forces now massed alonz the Rentier and Odesa lines are estimated at 8.5.000 men. The stations are crowiod with troop.a and artillery transport?. several corps m southern Russia ar9 al ready fully moMl'zeil and echeloned" along tne I'ruth and Dniester rivers and the r'iways converging to Rouraania. ; The Ulack Sea liiet is bain hurrleiiy equipped for active service. Four gunbaats have been snt to the K ilia arm of tha Danube, and numerous flotillas of ve3??is designed for river service are bein? concentrated at Odessa. The formidable extent of these preparations give rise to the suspicions that the Czar contemplates a bidden descent upon Bulgaria while actim on tbe defensive toward Galicia. TOE EXrECTED ANNOUNCEMENT. Reports emanating from Paris attribute to the Czar the intention to announce peace or war on the Rusaiai New Year's day, and war is predicted as Russia's choice. In discussing the issues thq Russian pre?s confidently assumes the defeat of the Anatrians. Gregor De Wolan, recently Russian Consul at Pesth, publishes a brochure under the permisjion of the St. Petersburg Censor, predicting that Hungary will become a Russian province. A map shows Hungary as a part of Russia, all the towns having Slavonic names. The pamphlet, which is quoted by the Hungarian press, increases the ea&erntsi for tha Ii aal arbitrament of war. M. LobanoQ. in an laterview with Count Kalnoky to day, repeated his pacific declarations. 11 stated that aggressive destenes were foreign to Rasaia's policy, but no specific importance is Attached to these assurances while the military position rcmaiu unchanged. THE FORCED DuCUMESTS The text of the forged documents aptears in to-nfght's Reichsalzttger. to. Vlonigale, Assistaat Secretary in the Russian Foreign Otlice, brought them to Berlin and examined them in conjunction with Count Herbert Blsoaark. He returned to Gatschin cn Sunday and reported to the Czar the result of the inspection. The Czrs as&ent to tbe publication of the documents was obtained br pressure from M. Oe (tiers and General Von Schweinitz The Relcbsaczelger prints four letters, three of which purport to have bean written by Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, to the Countess of Flanders, sister of King CaroJl of Ron mania The first of these three Mters is dated August 27. In it Prince Ferdicand says he would not have gone eo far if he had not received the most satisfactory information from Berlin through a note written by Prince Reas3, German Ambassador at Vienna, explaining the secret views of Prince Bismarck:. Prince Ferdinand inclosed this note to the Countess and begged her to induce King Caroil to use his iniluence at StPetersburg. The second document is a forged letter to Frince Renas stating that Prince Ferd id end's taking possession of the Bulgarian throne was a question of personal initiative, to which the German Government cannot for the time being give offictal support. It was not, however, to be concluded that the German Government would not eive unofficial encouragement to Prince Ferdinand's enterprise. However unfavorable or hostile, says the letter, the acta of Germany In the meanwhile may appear, the sentiments secretly cherished by her may one day be made apparent. The third document is a letter from Prince Ferdinand to the Countess of Flanders nnder date cf September 10. He siys that in spite of the open war that Germany is urging against him, he receives assurances every few days from German agents that Bismarck's policy may change opeoly, in the most favorable manner, Germany's attitude depending upon the issue of a grave question with Ruasla. In a fourth letter, Ferdinand informs the Countess that,, according to a communication he has received from Berlin, the fate of Bulgaria has been discussed at meetings between Bismarck, Kalnoky and Crispt, aid that tha result was favorable to Bulgaria. The central powers, he says, hops

that Bulgaria will give no occasion to tha powers to modify iheir friendly attitude. Frince Ferdinand denies that any of these documents are authentic. He says there was never any correspondence batween him and the Countess of Flanders. The forgers remain undstected. The Reicbsaczeiger says: "Ihe sole purpose of the forgeries was to sow distrust among tte powers. If tte statements of the fictitious letters were well founded tbe German policy might have been repreached with duplicity and dishonesty, as the German government has always regarded and still regards Ferdinand's venture as a violation of the treaties. The aipearance of the documents does not a id much to what iä already knawa of their contents. The statement th.nt the fabricators have not been discovered i3 uutrue. The Czar knows whence the forgeries proceeded, but refuses to punish the perpetrators. the crows raixcs's ccxditiox. The reports concerning the Crown Trince'a condition present the best aspect possible. Since Bismarck renewed the pressure for a regency no adverse reports regarding the Tricce have been permitted. The opinion of the Berlin experts that the disease is cancer has not altered, and Dr. Mackerzie's latest diepnosis failed to dispel the belief that an ultimata care i3 impoj&itle. Prince Bismarck's appeal to Crowa Frince Frederick William to consent t the establishment of a regency, although recused, will new be renewed in view of the darger of an outbreak of war. The best men in political and military circles tee! the necessity of there being in the event tf war an active working regent, comie:entfo perform all political duties and in touch with the army. It is impossible fcr the Crown Princes to

act as a regent. Official circles ia discussing the question of the regency pat the riicees entirely out of consideration. Frince William is now m prime health. Hir old ailments have disappeared and he is showing himself an energetic worker for hi3 ccmir g trust of Germany. Only a small court party will continue to oppase a regency If the Crown Prince remains aa Invalid. The Xew Year was ushered In with a frost and recurrirg snow storms. Sleighing and skating have been in full swing here since Wednesday. Snowdrifts have delated trains throughout Germany and Austria for two days.

GOVERNOR MAR MADUKE DEAD

A Sndden Attack of Pneumonia Takes Dim Awnj-DU Life JrTFEKsojf City, Mo.. December 23. Governor John S. Marmaduke died at the Executive Maurion at 9:37 o'clock tonight. Governor Marmaduke has not been well since the adjournment of the special session of Legislature last summer. 6ome time alter the close of the extra session. taking the advice of friends and of his physicians, he went to Laropein comnmy with Mr. Wm. Baggott and wife, of St. Louis. The party visited England and ireianu orieuy, ana i:naiiy located at a famous watering-place in Belgium, where they remained tnree or lour weeks. For several weeks past his friends have noticed that he appeared to be breaking down. Oa Friday last he felt badly, bat attended to his oiUcial duties as usual both on Friday and on the next day. Oa Saturday Light he was troubledlwith a bad cough, end on Sunday his brother, Darwin W. Marmaduke, warden of the pen itentiary, insisted on snmmomog medical aid. Dr. Davison, who was called, informed the Governor that ha was liable to a violent attack of pneumonia. That even ing he made a trip to the office, but quicaiy returned, ana during the night complained of paics in his lungs. On Monday he stayed at home, and by Tuesday morning hi3 condition had bacome so much worse that he asked that Dr. K. 1.. loung, superintendent of the Nevada Lunatic Aylutn. be sent for. His brother, Leslie Marmaduke, of St. Louis, was also telegraphed for. He remained in bed all day, but was ab'e to discusa official business and to join in general con versation with a large number of friends who had called to inquire as to his condi tion. ip to z o clocs this morniog no special uneasiness was felt, bat at that hour a change for the worse became visible and he commenced sinking. By halfpast 2 o'clock this afternoon a great chanrs naa occurred, ana ms physicians after holding a consultation unanimously aauouncea xnai ne was ceyond the reach of meaicai es:u. This announcement created the utmost suprise and consternatien when it had spread through ths city, for the reaaan that his condition was not considered at all dangerous ca the preceding day. He remained in a semi comatose state all tha afternoon and evenin?,and at twenty-three uiiuuies ueioic i j u ciuts. iu-mgar, surrounded by members of his household and a number of intimate personal and oihcial associates, he breathed his last. Daring the ufiernooa a largo quantity of floral Otterings were rcr-ived. Among the reet was a tribute Ironi little children.
