Kansas Ott. Mo., Sept. 9. A special ii the Times from Kiiip.-ia, KMm vys: Oue of tin- worst wreck in the hisUry of tilt: Santa ire railroad oosurred tlir iiii.es east if Iiiti' ut About 1:30 o'clock lust lutfht. Teiv. r tifteeu persoM were killed ami aa iianv more were badly burt. The fast mail traiu going east und the Mexico ft. California express, west bound, collided liead on. The Mexico na4 California express was Bulled lv two locomotives, and w hen the st r neu the engine drawing the fast mail the lioilers of all three rngities exploded and tore a hole in tlie fltmod s.i deep that the smoking ear ot Um w. st -lioiind train went in on top of tlM three engines and tw o mini ears aud balanced there, w ithout turning over. Tlie passengers in the smoking car escaped through the windows. The front end of this car Iis enveloped iu a volume of stifling smoke and steam belching up from the wreck below and tlie rear door MM jammed tight in the wreck of the cur behind. The wreck caught tire from the engines. The cars in the hole and the smoking car were burned to ashes iu uo time. In climbing out of the smoking car several men fell through the rifts in the wreck below, and it is impossible to tell whether they escaped or were burned to deat h. The west hound traiu carried seven or eight coaches, mid its passengers, included BMUtJ excursionists who had been to hear Boa. W. J, Ilryan spcaa at the c. unity fair at llurlingaiue. Mr. ICrvan himself was on the train, but was riding iu the rear Pullman, some 300 feet from the cars which were wrecked. He states that nothing but a heavy jolt was experienced by tho passen K'rrs .n his coach. Mr. Ilryan was one of the nohlest tuen in the crowd of rescuers. He helped to carry out the dead aud wounded and gave the greatest attention to their care. One poor fellow, who was baaly maimed, called to Mr. llryau and said: 'T went to hear you to-day; 1 am dying now, and want to shake your hand aud say Qod bless you. If you possibly cau, Mr. llryau, get me a drink ol water." Mr. Ilryan went into the fast mail car, oue end of which was burning, aud came out with a drink of water which he gave t the suffering passenger. He brought out cushions for others of the injured, und was everywhere present to minister to the wants of the suffering. The engineer of the west-bound ' rar. i had received orders to meet the fast mail at Emporia and was making up lost tune. These two are the fastest trains iu the Santa Fee system, and the west-bound train must have been ruuuiug at a speed of at least 40 miles an hour. Of the seven or eight cars making up the Mexico and California express only

Do pbin returned to Hampton Loads ye .terday w ith Assistant Secretary Koosfvelt, who has just completed au inspection of the North Atlantic eOJMMU (OB at sea, und while under full tlcet maneuvers. This is the first inspection made in recent veins under such conditions and the results were highly satisfactory. I nder the eye of the assistant secretary an extensive prgraiume of exercises was successfully executed in a luuiU'd pcrnsl of time. The Dolphiu reached the southern drill grounds Tuesday forenoon, joining the Maedroe w h.ie the ships were at sub-caliber practice. This wu. suspended and the battleship Iowa w as designated to tire her batteries in honor of the secretary, who was taken aboard for the purpose. The practice was excellent, and from the big L4inch guns down to the little machine guns, the battery w orUed w ithout serious bitch and splendid targets were made. The arinoretl cruiser Brooklyn was next put tii rough her paces aud run up and down the tiring line, making good practice at the distant target. In the eveuiug the flagship New York repell4 an iuiuginary attack by torpedo boats, using search lights mid her secondary battery with great effect. Night signalling with the Ardois system of colored electric lights closed tlie day's work. Wednesday's programme included qeedroa maneuver s, aud the ships got uudcr way early, on signal from tho New York, forming iu column aud passing iu review before the Dolphin. The s.piadrou made a magu i tieent show us it came past the Dolphiu with the great battleships clearing the long swells with resistless power and showing the big guus and men at quarters on the side. Single, double column; formation en echelon, wheels to right and left, and many other coinbination tnovemeuts were attempted with splendid precision. A novel feat.uro ot the day's maneuvers was the use, for the first time in any navy, of Japanese daylight lireworks, as a means of signalling, a system which is being developed to meet the emergency of the loss iu action of a single mast or the hiding of a ship by smoke. The Dolphiu left thu squadron next morning ut sunrise, stopping off Cape Henry to permit of an inspection of the monitor Puritan, which was put through great gnu practice for the purpose ol aff rding a comparison q ,er hydraulic mechanism w ith the electric system of the Brooklyn and the steam gear of the other ships. In summing up the results of the inspection of the squadron, Mr. Roosevelt said: "The trip has been in every way satisfactory. There is every reason to be satisfied with every detail of the management of the huge war ships. This is the first time that such a squadron of modern iroiicla Is lias ever been under command of an American admiral. Indeed, it is the first time iu peace thatan American a luiiral has ever commanded a squadron relatively so formidable, compared with the war ships of other powers. At last we are beginning to have a navy lit to uphold the interests of our people, a navy which, though too small in si.e. Heed f.-ar eoiniiais hi with no other us regards the quality of its ships and mcu."

Wheat has risen five cents the past week, not in a tlurry, but in answer to the daily increasing foreign demand, though reports of the crops, now al

most wholly out of danger, indicate a yield never surpassed but once. Por eign accounts still strengthen the be- ! lief that the deficiency abroad will be about 100,000,000 bushels more than usual, and meanwhile reports indicate that less corn than was expected will be available for export and its price

With enormous speculative sales ol wool, which Oppenrod to constitute most of the market, at Boston, there is I ulso more buying there and elsewhere by the woolen mills, which are enjoy- ( big an extraordinary demand for goods at prices averaging net ten per cent, higher than was paid in the early part I of t he year.

ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS. If Hawaii is gnnexetl there will bo ii increased demand for statcps of that country. In that event the new ofllrial stumps issued only a hrt tiuie ago Will likely come in for u good share of attention, as they have nut yet been circulated to uny appreciable extent. Iu Malacca und in Ceylon, large cotninereiul funis are permitted to print thair ii. mies on the postage stumps to pre vent t heft of stamps on the part of Vo ir employes. In that way, Ceylon ituinps in e of ten considered great treasures, n hen bearing the MUM f "Cave," in small blin k capitals, w hile thia surcharge means nothing but the imprint of u wealthy tea plunter. D. O. BMOd & Co., of Philadelphia, who, from lsll to lh5H, issued so many different locals and operated a privat post so successfully, were, per hep, the originators of the idea of including tho hour at which the letter MMOtOJBpOd, in the postmark. The postal authorities of the pVfrnment did not adopt this nice system of postmarking until long after Hlood & Co. hud set the pace. When the government issued the first perforated stamps a few of 1he good folk living in the rural districts v.ere so bound hy conservatism that they placed the stumps on their letter only after they had clipped off the perforations. They had been using unperforuted ktOinpi for many years, and they did not propose that uny newfnngled nrrangeinents should have encouragement from them. Germany is the home of the stamp forgers, the authorities there seeming to consider that it is none of their business so long as the forgers do not meddle with the home stamps. Lately the forging has taken u new turn, a German firm having shipped to this country thousnnds of sheets of decalcoinunia pictures containing lithographs of United States stumps. The pictures have been held at the custom house, and somebody will lose money on this transaction. A plan for removing medallions on the United States stamps und replacing them w ith miniature photographs is a new idea which has recently been copyrighted. Permission is said to have been granted by the government for the use of postage stamps in this manner, but only used specimens must be utilized for the purpose. Il is now poalible for one to see his own features on the penny satmp instc.id of those of the Illustrious Benjamin, or on the two-cent stamp in lieu of those of the inimoral George. DO YOU KNOW THIS? In cold weather dry indoors to prevent freezing. A little kerosene oil put in the hot Itarch w ill proven! it from sticking. Fold napkins square with the itiitials on the outside. They should also lie ironed perle t !y dry , and then put away nicely in the drawer. Have plenty of the best soap, with borax, atari di and bluing at hand.

State Health tticer Svveariiigeu has issued a circular letter to nil county judges and county commissioners of the Louisiana border of this state urging them to establish local quarantine against all yellow fever districts at once. He instructs all county judges to place armed guards on a' I u tion roads that cross the border from Louisiana. He says that he proposes that the state shall place guards ou all railroads, bulthat he has not enough money to hire guards for dirt roads, and, therefore, wants the respective counties to do their share. Dr. SwearIngeti says that he Isdieves that by placing these guards on all dirt roads, as well as railroads, that the onerentine will be most rffeetive and prove less annoying than the "old hotgun quarantine" that has always been established by the f righ t ened cltietis heretofore, lb.
