DEATH IN THE CRASH. WRECK ON THE PITTSBURG AND FORT WAYNE. Three Men Are Now Dead—Over Twenty Persons More or Less Hart—The Disaster Occurred Near Lima, Ohio—Caused by a Broken Rail. Wrecked the Limited. The west-bound limited on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago Road, known as the “Columbian Express,” was wrecked by a broken rail about one and a half miles east of Lima, 0., whi e running at the rate of fifty miles an hour. The engine, baggage car and day coach passed over in safety, but the train parted in the rear of the day eoach and the dining car and two sleepers were thrown over to the north track with terrific force The accident happened at the east end of the long siding which is north of the main track. The broken rail was foun i about forty rods east of the switch used by the freight train east-bound, which was standing on the siding, with the engine almost up to the switch. The d ning car of the wrecked train jumped to the sidetrack and ran into 4 ho freight engine, which telescoped the car ha f its length Little was visible of the engine besides parts of the cab and tender. The s eeping cw Delphos was BHBBikloJ, while the sleeper Arden, the *Tear car, was thrown clear over on its side into the ditch, but luckily the passengers all escaped with their lives and only a few were severely injured. The chief cook of the dining-car Parisian, J. 11. Manne’, was near the range when the car struck the freight train. The

kit-hen and range are in the forward t end of the car. Manuel was caught by I the front end of the engine and wedged ; in over the boiler and roasted to death. I The body was so firmly fastened that it could not be extricated, and he died in frightful agony. His body was not gotten out until the freight engine could be moved, when it dropped to the ground. I Second Cook John IL Cust’s, tol- | ored, was caught in the wreck by the . logs, but could not be reached, and for some time he directed the movements of the men engaged in clearing the wreck. He was terribly scalded, but was fi ally taken ojit alive. Custis only lived a short time, although he was given the best of medical attention. The others injured of the crew of the dining car were: Nelson Thompson, waiter, head cut by glass; Henry AMHlams, waiter, leg hurt; George W. Jo t, condu tor, burton head and leg Richard Smith and Will Grant, colored waiters, escaped unhurt. H. tSeiboll, the engineer of the freight, escaped by jumping. Philip H. Nulf, the fireman, was caught between the tank and boiler head, horribly c ushed and scalded. He was still alive when taken from his position, but only lived a short time. His body was taken to his home in Foit Wayne. Many of the in ured men were also taken to Fort Wayne. The others were well provided for. Everything possib e was done by the railroad officials to alleviate the suffering of the wounded, and they had a full corps of physicians on the ground in a short time after the accident occurred. The track vas torn up for t distance of thirty rods east of the switcl

grains are not generally favorable. ( n the .Atlantic coast some Injury is reported on early sown areas from the He sian i!v. The season was not favorable for sei ding in the South on account of continued dry weather, and germination was slow from the same cause. Rains in the Hte autumn have improved the prospect. In the Western States seeding was late, the seed-bed hard and cloddy, generation slow and growth unfavorable until November, when material improvement was seen in most fields. In some districts the Hessian fly made its appearance, ca sing damage. The average condition of the crop is -5.3, the figures for the principal States of the great wheat belt being: Ohio, 80; Michigan, 92; Indiana, 91; Illinois, 80; lowa, 92; Missouri, 73; Kansas, 75: Nebraska, 94: California, 97. Ihe average for New York is 97; Pennsylvania, 92; Maryland, 87; Virginia, 86; Georgia, 96; Te as, 90. The condition of rye is a litt e higher tl an that of wheat, making an average of 88.8. The returns duly consolidated make the average farm value of the current crops of the year as follows: C rn, 42.2 I cents a busi.el: wheat, 85.3; rye, 77.4; ■ barley, 54.0; oats. 32.2; buckwheat, 57.9; ; potatoes, 37.1; tobacco, cigar 1eaf,14.1 j a pound: manufacturing and export leaf, . 7.5: hay, $8.39 a ton. The price of corn is 2.9 cents per bushel more than the average of ten I years from 1880 and only four tenths of ' a cent less than the average for the decade from 1870. In the States of larger production prices are as follows: Ohio, 41 cents; Indiana, 38; Illinois, 37; I< wa, 30; Missouri, 38: Kansas, 34; I Nebraska, 26. The latter .State, where - corn is cheapest, has reported a higher ! value only four t'mes in fifteen years, i The average value of the who.’e crop ; .since 1883 has been higher only in 1887 I and 1890, when the yie d was only about ! twenty bushe s an acre. j The value of the wheat crop is 2.5 i -cents per bushel higher than the average ' of ten years from 18*0 and has been ex- i ceeded only once (in 18ss) since 1883. | In the States of the Atlantic coast an 1 I those ®n the Gulf of Mexico, except ! Texas, the value is from SI to $1.15; in j the t hio Valley, from 85 to 86 cents; I beyond the Mississippi, from 70 in North Dakota to 81 in lowa. It appears by the retort of the Treas- ' urer of Yale College, which has just been : published, that the gifts received by the college during the year covered by the ' report amounted to the large sum of i 8343,395. The gifts range in magnitude ' from SIOO to $50,000. Z The term “tabby cat” is derived from Atab, a famous street in Bagdad, inhab- ; ited by the manufacturers of silken stuffs called atabi, or taffety. This stuff : is woven with waved markings of watered silk, resembling a “tabby” cat's coat.

HELD UP UNCLE SAM. FIVE CHICAGO ROBBERS RIFLE A MAIL WAGON. Desperate Thieves Cover tlie Di-iver with Revolvers, Turn the Vehicle Into an Alley, and Plunder the Sack at Their Leisure. Daring Mall Robbery. A United States mail wagon filled with registered and other matter was stopped by live men in ( hicago the other evening and robbed of its contents. The robbery occurred about 7 o'clock, and was so quickly and quietly done that before the affair was reported to the postoTce officials and the polic ' the robbers had over two hours’ start. This they made good and the efforts of tho entire city police force failed after a six hours search to do more than unearth in a manure box on the North Side, three miles from the scene of the robbery, tho cut mail pouches and their titled contents. The wagon was on the way to tho main Postoflicc with mall from tho Stock-Yards I and Southwest stations. It was in the | charge of John Creighton, an experiI enced driver, wl\o, after collecting bis I valuable load, drove down Blue Island- | avenue to Halsted street, and then turned caston Mather street. He was half way to Desplaines street when five men sprang from the sidewalk. One Beked Hie horses by the reins while the others < overed Creighton with revolvers and commanded him to keep quiet. The teain was tu n led to

■ the alley extending north from Mather । street and there, while one of them covI ered Creighton with a revolver, tho । others forced open the door of tho Wagon, and hastily selecting the registered pouches from the others male ofl through the alley. Creighton s guard kept tlie captive covered for five min-

utes, and then left him. | The frightened driver whipped up his i horses and drove as rapidly as pos iblo to the main Postoffice, where he reported the affair. An inventory was then made of the contents of the wagon, i and it was found that tho two n g stored I mail-; ouches from the Stock Yards station at Forty-third and Halsted streets

and tho Southwest Station, No. 513 Ll’uo Island avenue, were missing. According to the red tape methods of Uncle Sam, it was fir t nece sary <to find Inspector Stuart, of tho Po toffice, and report to him, ami then word was seat to the Central Police Station. By this time it was nearly nine o'clock,^and tho thieves Lad a start of two hours and a 1 half. Th re was little for the police to ' work on. Creighton, in the dark, was J unable to distinguish the ieatures and 1 scarcely th® forms of tho robbers 5 i Shortly before Id o'clock Paul Kolar mar, a boy living at 225 Wells street, ’ I ran into the East Chicago Avenue Sta- ' j tion and told the Desk Sergeant that bo 3 ' had found seme mail-bags in tho manure 3 ! box at the re rof his father’s barn. Ho found a number of letters in the bottom 1 of the box. The poli e on arriving at the barn found five registered mail ? pouches which ha 1 evidently been inr closed in the two larger bags stolen from dm w nirnn. Beside the bags wers

cumu give no mo e definite description and knew nothing of the appearance of the others. About a year ago one mailbag mysteriously disappeared from the wagon on the same route, but it was never definitely known whether it was lost or stolen. The bag was found cut open and minus its contents beneath a sidewalk on Milwaukee avenue. As nearly as can bo estimated the robbers secured §f,oOO in currency and 82(0,(09 worth of non negotiable ; paper sent by the Drovers’ and the Stock Rx hange National Banks I’ostujastor Ketcham of the StockYards fetation said: “I only wonder j how it did not occur long ago. Since the attempted robbery of the bank h re we have sent the collections down- town every night, and it was an * asy matter for some of the despe. ate characters of the district to have learn d of the change. ” Mr. Ketcham admitted that this day’s collect ons were probably §2,500. Driver .John Creighton told the follow- | ing story of the robbery: “I had been 1 to the Stock-Yards Station and had re- , 1 ceived two letter pouches there and had driven to the Southwest Station at Four- I ■ teenth street ana Blue Island avenue, j whe.e I got another letter pouch. Be- ; cause of a jam at the Chicago A Alton i crossing I was late and drove'fast down ; Blue Island avenue and crossed to Hal- ' sted street, intending to drive north to • Aan Buren street. There was another i jam, however, and I turned east on Mather street. “As I got opposite the alley I saw sev- ' eral men running out into the street, 1 but paid no attention to them until one of them grabbed the horse's head. Two I men jumped up on the seat, one on each [ side of me, and put revolvers to my | head. They threatened to blow my I brains out if I said a word, and the man i at the horse’s head led the horse into the alley. Once inside they demanded the bag with the Stock-Yards registered mail, but^l said there was none. They i threw out three bags and one of । the men cut them open with a I pocketknife, and in the third one they found the two registers. As soon as they | found the registered mail two of the , men ran through a vacant lot, and the . two who had been on the seat ran after | them, followed by the one at t' e horse’s I head As soon as they were out of sight ' I pulled up the I nes, but I found that ■ on eh ad been cut. As soon as it con d , be mended I drove direct to the Post- \ oil ice. “It was so dark that I could not get a good view of the men, but one of them | was quite stout, wore a short coat, and had a heavy black mustache.” Our Odd Corner.

SCARCITY OF GUTTA PERCHA As a Substitute for India Rubber It Has Proved Invs l iable. As a substitute for India rubb r and for other uses to which India rubber could not bo applied gutta percha has proved invaluable. But the substr nee has now become so scarce that the has gone up to 51.30 a pound and too importations to this country have been gradually decreasing uiitil now there is very little of it for sale in our markets. Fifty years ago the attentio i of Europeans was directed to tho use of gutta percha as a substitute for India rubb r. The fact of its being a non-con-ductor of electricity and the best insulator led to a great demand for it all over tl»? world. No other substance ha been found so efficient and so durable for submarine cables, and as tho scarcity of it increased and the price rose the use of it for a thousand and one purpos s decreased, until now it is mainly used for the insulation of wires. 3 lie difficulty of procuring it has become so great that the price of it seriously affects tho construction of submarine cables.

Gutta percha is not, as many people suppose, a sort of India rubber It is a totally different substance, and is th' produat of a different tree. It was; formerly plentiful in the Mauwsin i P. ninsu'a in the forest- at the so t the hills The Malays used it long before Europeans h aid of it W lien became an article of commerce the Malavs pursued the rm st destructive method j of obtaining it They cut down the tree to procure the juice, unt 1 finally they exterm nated the tre '. Then the supply was obtained from Borneo and other islands in the Indian Archipelago But tho same destrue.ive process was continued, while the demand im reused enormously, until now it is seriously । ! proposed to cultivate tho t ee a- tho | only means of pieservl; g an indispovsa- ' bio article of commerce. , | An effort was made s -me years ago to ! check the destruct’on of the gutta ! percha tree and to substitute a system of I tapping the trees similar to that adopted I so. tap ing the trees for India rubber or 1 I map’o sugar, but the avarice of tho na- ’ ! tives has worked such a sad havoc with i the gutta percha tree that cultivation ’ ! seems to bo tho only recourse to avoid ' I extinction. _____ —
