A blunder made today In the ofilce of the train dispatcher of the Fennsylvar la railroad bore fruit in the loss of twelve lives nnd a Bcore of maimotl and uungled victims. The accident, which incurred near Colehour, 111., fourteen inlltt from this city, appears to have been the result of a blunder. Inexcusable by even the railroad officials. Two trains were scheduled to pass south on a Ingle track between Colehour, 111., and Hammond, Ind. At the sumo time a train was due north on the name track. U was arranged to give the north-bound train, which carried inllk and way passengers from Valparaiso, Ind., the right of way and It was ordered to proceed toward Chlcngo and did so at the rate of thlrty-slx miles tin hour. In (Tie meantime trains No. 160 and 12. the latter tho Pen-Handle limited express, were supposed to have been held on the double trnck at Colehour to await the passage of No. 45, the milk train. Orders were given the operator at Colchour to hold No. lo, but nothing was said to him about 12. He obeyed orders and No. 12 was allowed to nter upon the single track on Its scheduled time, running; forty mlleH un hour, directly toward the milk train, which had also been given the right of way In an opposite direction on the name track. The Pan-Handle express had proceeded but a short distance when the milk train wo sighted Ahead nnd the two trains scarcely slacking In speed In the short distance dashed into, each other. " The engine crews saved their lives by Jumping before the locomotive came together with a crash that wrecked them Loth and drove the baggage car of the Tan-Handle train completely through the smoking car behind it. In this car were about forty people. The following were killed and Injured: Dead. ' CHESTER E. COFFIN, Charthage, Ind. A. S. TEMPLK, manager Schiller theater, Chicago. EMIL GODENRATH. E. 11.

The Louisville express train No. 12 left Chicago this morning In charge of Conductor J. W. Easley with George 5lghtneister engineer ana D. H. Vaughn fireman. At Colehour It stopped for orv ders and In accordance with those re ceived started on over the single track. Train Dispatcher C. E. Kennedy at Colehour had before its arrival received the following dispatch from the train dispatcher's office- at Ft. Wayne: . "No. 160 will wait at Colehour until elght-forty-five (8:40) a. m. for No. 43 ahead of time. C. D. I" There was no order for train No. 12 and Kennedy made no effort to stop It. In the meantime the Valparaiso accommodation carrying milk and chickens, with number of passengers, was approaching from the south at high speed, considerably ahead of time, the crew trying to pass Colehour to avoid keeping train No. 160 waiting too long. The track west from Colehour and a mile .way describes a curve and is lost sight of behind a clump of trees as It turns again. The express running forty miles an hour over level country had reached ft point about 100 yards from the curve whn suddenly from behind the trees there burst In view the accommodation train, running at k speed almost as great. Not .two hundred yards separated them when the crew of each ojd&a sighted t&a fatal a, m

quickly as possible the levers of both engines were reversed and the air brakes applied. The efforts of the men did not seem for an Instant to check the terrible flight of speed and the crew of each engine Jumped to save themselves when about one hundred yards separated the two trains, and an instant later the locomotives struck with a crash. The engine of the accommodation being of lighter construction than the other, crumbled away like paper and fell Into the ditch alongside the track. The tender was forced back and under the first baggage car. The heavy express engine stood on the track, but the baggage car was forced up and through the smoking car to a point eight feet from its end. Then as the propelling force ceased, the heavy baggage car crashed through the roof of the smoker. Scene of the Wreck. The scene of the accident Is In a district sparsely Inhabited and It was fully an hour before aid arrived from South Chicago. In the meantime the scenes around the wreck were agonizing. The dead and wounded were pinned In the wreck in tich a manner that before the wrecking train arrived with lifting Jacks it was almost impossible to extricate any of the bodies. In the meantime the cries of the dying were terrible tp hear. Some of the wounded prayed that an end be put to their misery, while others moaned and shriek ?d in tnelr ngony. Blood from the mangled soaked its way downward and emerging from the bottom and sides of the smoking car made puddles of red In the fand. Through the cracks made by the descent of the baggage car could be seen an arm. a crushed nnd mangled head, a face and an already discolored bady. It was long after the collision, an age to the Imprisoned, that the wrecking train made Its appearance and with levers and Jacks proceeded to work. The wrecking party forced up the end of the car furthest from Hie engine, and leaving It there, as quickly as possible removed the dead and Injured. Anson Temple, manager of the Schiller theater, was the first taken out. He had occupied a seat In the forward part of the car. with young Emil Godenrath by his side. Death for both was Instantaneous, their heads being crushed. The next man was E. M. Rlgner, on whose head the heavy weight had descended, crushing It. By 2 o'clock all the dead and injured were removed. Some Opinions. Edward B. Wall, assistant to the first vice-president of the Pennsylvania road, said of the accident: ' "It Is a clear open and shut case of negligence on some one's part and there will not be much trouble In fixing the responsibility and nn Investigation will be made at once. A. R. Kennedy, the train dispatcher at Colehour, was nr first blamed for the accident. He received a dispatch from C. D. Inw nt Ft. Wayne, the train dispatcher telling him to hold train 1'.0 against 41), which was nh'-ad of time. No mention was made of train 12 at all Train 12 went by and later train IJ.'I pulled tip and was held according to instructions and when the news of the accident reached Kennedy, he wired Law at Ft Wayne, repenting the message he had received early In the day and asking them If it was correct The answer was "yes." In speaking of the matter tonight Kennedy said: "I thought at first I wus to blame; that perhaps I did not get tin tin-usage rieht. I called up Ft. Wayne and repeated the message und wus told It was correct. I held M according to my orders, but train 12 was ahead, and having no Instructions regarding her 1 was compelled to let her go." At a late hour tonight the crews of both trains and Operator Kennedy wer arrested mid will be detained until after the. coroner's Inquest. Dnalnrilly At (rial pi at WreeUlnir. RUTLAND, Vt., Sept. 7. The New Yoik express on the Pennington t Rutland railroad ruhed yesterday at a speed of forty miles an hour on Childs bridge over Otter creek. The train consisted of a mall car, a day coach nnd two sleeping cars. When the engine Rot fairly over th structure it began to sink. Engineer Frank Curtis pulled the throttle wide open. All the cars crossed It siyfely except the rear sleeper, which was einpty. The bridge collapsed Just as the forward truck of the last coach reached solid ground. Nobody was hurt. There was a deliberate attempt at wrecking.

Five I'aaaenaers Hurt. OMAHA, Sept. 7. A passenger train and a freight on the Rock Island met head end near Albright, nine miles from this city, this morning completely wrecking both engines and reducing to kindling wood the mall and baggage cars and the smoker, besides a dozen box ears. Elve passengers were slightly hurt and Mall Clerk Miller received Injuries, which. It Is feared, will prove fatal. Blame for the collision has not yet been located. The trainmen Jumped and saved their lives. LOST A WIFE'S LOVE. Letter of a riltaharnr Man Who Committed Suicide. NEW YORK. Sept. 9. V. O.

Many Telegrams of Congratulation Pouring In. Tbe First Time In tbe History of tbe White House of the lllrth of a Child to the President and His Wife The News Told the President by Dr. Ilryant Miss Ruth Is Also Made Acquainted with the Fact. WASHINGTON. Sept. 9. Mrs. Grover Cleveland was safely delivered of a little daughter at the white house today. This is the unadorned statement of an event which will thrill the hearts of all her countrymen and be flashed under the seas to meet the congratulatory responses of emperors and kings. Tho event waa not a complete surprise, as from time to time within the lat few months rumors of its prospective occurrence, veiled as such announcements always are. trickled like confidences Into the columns Into the newspapers. Dr. Rryant of New York, the family physician of Mrs. Cleveland, returned with Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland from Gray Gables a few days ago, and this fact gave rise to renewed gossip concerning this Important event in the lives of the chief executive nnd his wife. Hut the Impression that Dr. Ilryant was hero In attendance upon Lbe president rather served to quiet the rumors that he was remaining at the executive mansion for the emergency of today. Since her return from Gray Gables Mrs. Cleveland has driven out In the white houso carriage with the president every nfternoon, usually going far Into the beautiful hills nnd glens which surround the national capital. Only yesterday she drove out to Woodley, the president's country residence. The baby was born at exactly high noon Just as the ball on the flagstaff of the state, war and navy buildings opposite the white house dropped from the top of the staff. Although there had been sn air of expectancy about the white house during the morning. Indicated by the fact that the servants stood In groups exchanging whispered confidences and by the noiseless tread with which they gilded about the building, there was nothing to signify that anything unusual was about to occur In the large room adjoining the cabinet chamber, on the second floor, where the president receives his visitors. With courage that has always characterized Mr. Cleveland In times of great trial ami anxiety, be did not betray to the public men who called upon him importunely urging constituents for places or conferring with him about the great fight in the senate, or to his subordinates who brought to him matters for his consideration, tho strain under which he was laboring. The President Uets the .Xews. From time to time during tho morning the president was quietly advised ox to the condition of affairs In the sick room and nt exa ;ly 12 o'clock Dr. Dryant summoned him from the reception room into the prUate hallway leading to Mrs. Cleveland's bed chamber. When the president hastily opened the door he realized from the beaming countenance of Dr. liryant that tha crisis had been safely passed. Without a word, but with a suspicious moisture about the eyes, the president and his family physician warmly clasped hands. "She is safe?" inquired the president hurriedly. The smile on the doctor's face nnd a reassuring pressure of the hand told him that his wife was safe and without pausing he added: "Is a boy or a girl?" Something like a shadow of disappointment swept acrots Mr. Cleveland's face as the physician told him that tho new born babe was a girl. While he was talking with Dr. Rryant. little Ruth was brought Into tho hallway by her nurse. Innocently unaware of the trial which her father nnd mother had Just passed through, she was lisping laughingly In the ear of her nurse. When the espied her father, with a hout of delight she stretched forth her arms to him. The president took her lovingly In his embrace, stroked her hair and kissed her tenderly, saying, with a note of tremulous endearment In his tone, "Ruth, my dear, you have a little sister." Relieved of the load of anxiety which had borne down so heavily uin htm during the morlng, the president returned to his desk, and with something like exultation began digging away at tho stack of documents and papers before him. He could not mtrHln the Joy which he felt, however, and after working a few moments lie walked into the ottlce of Private Secretary Thurber, and with a broad smllt on his face, told his faithful companion that the 9th of September would go down Into history. "Why?" asked Mr. Thurber, smilingly; and then Mr. Cleveland confided tho secret of his Joy to him. They shook hands cordially and Mr. Thujber. congratulated the president. At the same time the president advised him not to Allow tit a hammer on the thumb, crushes it and the nail turns black and comes off The thumb swells and is poulticed and the man "lays up." How look at another case. The thumb was smashed just the same but thenan was not laid up an hourl He had a bottle of Dr. Fenner's Golden Relief. He poured some into a cup and dipped his thumb in it as Boon as hurt It is now covered with a thin piece of cloth and kept wet with tho Relief. He works as usual. It is not sore though yet. raw.

make the news public until he should receive word from the physician tnat all possible danger had passed. Mr." Cleveland went back to his desk and a few moments afterward went down stairs Into the blue parlor to receive the Japanese prince, who had called to pay his respects. Mr. Cleveland did this as though nothing unusual had happened. About 2 o'clock he summoned Private Secretary Thurber and told him that the news could be given to the press. At 2 o'clock a representative of the Associated Press called upon Secretary Thurber to Inquire if the -whispers which had begun to spread were true, but before he could ask the direct question the private secretary anticipated his inquiry and In a manner which plainly showed how keenly he shared the Joy of the president, said: "You can tell the world that we have a little girl baby here." Disappointment at the Gender. The news was bulletined at the telegraph office, the capltol, the departments and prominent hotels, and was almost the sole theme of conversation during the remainder of the afternoon. Everywhere disappointment was rtf.nlfested that the baby was not a boy. Before 4 o'clock a stream of messenger boys began carrying congratulatory telegrams to the white house, but the president with his usual reticence about making public matters purely personal to his family and himself, promptly decided that none of these messages should be given to the press. The Marine band concert, which is given at the grounds In the rear of the white house every Saturday afternoon, was, at the request of Mr. Cleveland, postponed, it being feared, although Mrs. Cleveland is regarded as out of danger, that the excitement might Injure her. The thousands of people who went to the grounds in the rear of the white house this afternoon, only to And the gates closed, drawn by curiosity, moved around to the lawn in front of the executive mansion and tramped down the grass, while they eagerly watched the windows of the room In which were Mrs. Cleveland and her new-born babe. Some History. This Is the first time In the history of the republic that the wall of the newborn Infant of a president of the United States has been heard within the walls of the white house. Just as President Cleveland was the first chief executive to bo married in the white house, so, too, is the baby upon whom the whole nation smiles lovingly today, the first child of a president to be born under its roof. The record of births In the old mansion Is shorter than the list of marriages, and rad enough, doubling them both would not cover the number of deaths and funerals there. Of the babies who llrst saw the light ot day In the old house, probably only two nro living until this happy event added another. . One Is Mrs. Mary Emily DonelsonWllcox, a daughter of Andrew Donelson, nephew of President Jackson and the private seretary and confidential adviser of "Old Hickory" during his entire ofllelal life, and the other Is Julia Dent Grunt, the first child born to Col. snd Mrs. Fred Grant, and now a young lady Just past sixteen. Mr. and Mrs. Donelson had two other children born In tho white house which, with a grandchild of President Jefferson snd another of President Tyler, complete the list. Of christening fetes In consequence of these happy additions to the census of the district, some stand out as marked occasions. Mrs. Wlleox has said of the event, of which she was the smallest, but at the same time the most Important personage: "Roth houses were Invited and for a few minutes I was of more Importance than any of the greut diplomats. Jurists or statesmen of the capital. Over near the big window of the east room the ceremony was performed, Uncle Jackson holding me in his arms and Martin Van Kuren standing as god-father, wlille Miss Cora Livingston, daughter of the fkvrctnry of Mate ami the reigning belie and beauty of that administration, took upon herself the responsibility of god-mother. I was said to have behaved very well during the ceremony." When Miss Julia Dent Grant was christened, the company invited by President and Mrs. Grant assembled in the blue room, where the ceremony occurred. The ln.st christening that took place In the blue room was during the first part of President Harrison's term, when his granddaughter, Mary Lodge McK.ee, was baptized with water from the river Jordan, and the clergyman oftioiatlng was the baby's great grandfather, the venerable Dr. Scott. The presence of four generations of the family made a notable gatherlsg and probably one never before seen at the white house. Mrs. Terrine, the mother of Mrs. Cleveland, n rived at the white houso late tonight. At 11 o'clock Dr. Ilryant announced the mother and chill to be doing nicely. not'in.n cnowstKD witch.

Some Strange Stories Concerning Mrs. llalllday. PROVIDENCE. R. I., Sept. 7. "She Is a double-crowned woman and a regular witch." Miss Louisa Halllday, who was supposed to have been murdered with her grandfather near Mlddleton, N. Y., Is here safe and sound. Miss Halllday says she knows the accused woman very well and that she last saw her two years ago, Just a few days before the house of the Halllday farm was burned and her uncle John was roasted alive. Miss Ilallday says the latest Mrs. Halllday who is now charged with the triple murder, boasted at the time of the former tragedy that she would yet have her revenge for some wrongs which she talked about. "The most terrible thing about this woman," says Miss Halllday, "is her two-crowned head. She used to display it to me and say It gave her power over people. 8he said she could do about anything kill, burn and murder and that she had power enough to fool all the people and authorities afterward. "This was about two years ago," continued Miss Halllday, "and the words have ever since been ringing In my ears, so much so that I have never wanted to go to Miidletown to visit the old folks fclnce. After her arrest for burning that barn she was taken to the court house in Sullivan county and tried and found to be Insane. A few months ago she was discharged as cured and at once she returned to the vicinity of tha Halllday farm. She exercises a peculiar power over old Paul Halllday. She is the cunnlngest woman I ever saw or heard of. She could act crazy If she wanted to. I think she used to practice the awful writhlngs and doings of crazy people for a motive, for she would then stop and be as rational as any one." INDIANA DAY.

OPPOSE HOME RULE

A Very Large Majority Against the Bill, The Houso of Lords Voting 419 to 41. LORD SALISBURY'S SPEECH Attacking the Liberals on Every Hand. Tory Cheers Greet the News of the Vote. The Times Jubilant Over the Victory Dy the Vote of the Peers The Ners Takes the nesnlt Itnther Philosophically and Thinks There Is o Cause for Discouragement Other Foreign Xews. LONDON, Sept. 8. A significant feature of the home rule discussion in the house of lords is the fact that a special police force has been ordered to report for duty in the palace yard in front of the house of parliament. In order to be ready for Immediate action In case of a hostile demonstration against the lords when the latter leave the building after division on the home rule bill. The house of lords presented a brilliant and most unprecedented spectacle when at 10 p. m. Lord Salisbury rose to deliver the last speech In opjsitlon to the home rule bill. The house was filled In every part with people anxious to hear the decision of the lords upon the measure, which had been so long debated In and out of parliament. Not only was the house itself filled with peers but all the corridors and approaches thereto were packed with people "eager to be In at thrt death," aa one young brd remarked. The United States ambassador, Thomas V. Kayard. wan present and received much llatteiing attention from many of the prominent parliamentarians present. The side galleries were Tiled with duchesses and countesses, their daughters and other ladies lucky enough to obtain admission. The peers were all in evening dress and fairly blazing with Jewels. In the diplomatic gallery could be noticed the German. Austrian and Turkish ambassadors, the latter wearing the traditional fez. Sullshary Cheered. Lord Salisbury was long nnd loudly cheered when he stood up to make tho closing speech, and it was some time before he was allowed to proceed. "No reason has yet been given by the government," said he during the course of his remarks, "for Introducing the bill. Every speaker on the government side has displayed the greatest Ingenuity in avoiding a discussion of the merits of the bill. "The proposed retention of the Irish members in the house of commons Is an outrage so enormous and grotesque that I am surprised that any responsible government has dared to suggest It. (Cheers.) All the arguments of the government showed that their policy was one of dfspalr. They had no Ught to take a step which endangered the existence, happiness and prosperity of the majority of the Irish people. (Cheers.) The men who would govern Ireland, should the bill pass, are those who have been found guilty of criminal conspiracy. Should we not be In an Infinitely worse pot-Mon than at present if we entrusted Ireland to such men, In the event of trouble with the United States or any other foreign power? (Loud cheers.) "If you allowed this atrocious, treacherous bill to pass you would be untrue to the duty which has been descended to you from a splendid ancestry." (Prolonged cheering.) . The earl of Klmberly (liberal), twice secretary of state for the colonies, lord president of tho council, followed the marquis of Salisbury and spoke for the bill on behalf of the government. The earl's remarks failed to make any decided Impression upon his hearers. At the close of his speech the division was taken. The latter proceeding lasted over thalf an hour, and resulted In a vote of 419 against the bill to 41 In favor of it How Received. In the street an lmmfnse crowd awaited the announcement of the result of the division. A strong detachment of polloe mingled with the crowd, drawn In front of the entrance of the building. When the result finally reached the people it was received with vociferous cheering. Here and there a knot of men were expressive of their approval or disapproval of the verdict of the people. An analysis shows that twenty-five bishops and both archbishops who were present at the division all voted with the majority. The vote was the largest ever recorded in the house of lords. The Dally News says: "The division is a remarkable token of the determination of the house of lords to destroy the hopes of Ireland so long as they have the power to do so. Nevertheless the liberals will continue patient In well-doing. The house of lords has defied public opinion, flouted the house of commons and Insulted the representatives of the people." The Times says: "Of the handful of peers who supported the bill more than one-half were place men, holding ojlice under Gladstone. There Is abundant ground for belief that If Gladstone was to appeal to the constituencies tomorrow the policy commenced by Spencer, Itosebery, Ilerschell and Klmberly would be repudiated by a decisive vote. The decision of the house of lords will be sustained by an overwhelming majority of the English people." The Standard s?iys that the value of a second chamber has again been made appparent. The house of lords by its action on the home rule bill has added to its popularity, though It has set up no claim for a dissolution. If the government tamely accepts this rebuff only one confluslon can be drawn. France and Mam. PARIS, Sept. 8. The Figaro this morning says that the dispute between France and Slam Is far from settled and Intimates that the Siamese and not the French are to blame for this state of affairs. According to the Figaro the Siamese have not only failed to evacuate the territory ceded to France, but have failed even to give orders to the officers commanding the native forces to (vacua te the posts on the left bank of the Mekong. It Is rumored here that the negotiations with Slam will be resumed where they were suspended some time ago. Hut the rumor adds the time fixed upon by the Siamese for the resumption of these Interesting conferences is three months hence, when the water in the rivers will be too low to enable the French gunboats to Insist upon the execution of the Siamese pledges.

After they marchM past the emperor Inspected the veterans, stopping every now and then to talk to somo old warrior with .vhom he was personally acquainted, and sliaklns; hands with many of them. After the ceremony the emperor left tho field at the head of a company. THE C'AMIMIGX I IOWA. t.overnor Itoles pen Us at Grundy Center The Penalon Question. ORUDV CENTER.
