•4 RUNAWAY HACK TEAM GOES ON 'THE VASDALIA BBIDGE.

Railroad Traffic Suspended and the Wreck Train Called Oat to Release The Horses.

A TRAIN FUGGED JUST IN TIME

THE HACK WENT TEN FEET ON THE TRESTLE.

•.

Horses Wedged in the Timbers Thirty Feet '•From the Entrance to the East End, of Bridge.

Vf

At midnigU Wednesday night one of Fleming's fine learns ran away and but for the fact that the yard men of the Vandalia acted promptly thero might have been a disastrous wreck on the road in consequence.

Tho team at 2 o'clock this morning was fastened out on the Vandalia bridge, thirty feet from the bank, the broken hack was lying on its side at the entrance of the bridge, and three trains were waiting to get over. The runaway was a peculiar one in that the team ran out on the railroad bridge so far without stepping through and becoming fastened until thirty feet from the bank.

Tom Wilcox is the driver of the hack and at midnight was out at Geisselbrecht's theater comique. He left the team standing in front of the place and the horses became •frightened at something and started to run. There being no driver to stop them they "were very soon going down the street, at break neck speed. They turned north on Ninth street, west on Sycamore, finally dashed out on the Vandalia tracks. They kept running until they were on the bridge where they soon fell and were so wedged ill that they were unable to get up.

As soon as the team was discovered the dispatcher's office was telephoned to and a yard man crossed the bridge and was just In time to flag the east bound train. People who knew of the accident and hearing the whistle of the train held their breath lest there be a wreck on the bridge and the crash of timbers. As it was the tram was stopped and the lives of the horses and probably the lives of many passengers saved. The horses are undoubtedly badly injured for they are wedged in on the trestle and cannot be moved except by the aid of a wrecking car.

The hack was left about ten feet out on the trestle. The wheels on one side slipped over the ties and the new vehicle rolled over, How it, and the horses too, for that matter, escaped falling off and down the steep embankment is a miracle. The team is the fine sorrel horses recently purchased by Mr. Fleming. The wreck train was called out at 2 o'clock and the animals, both of whom are groaning with pain, will be taken out or killed.

DEATHS INCREASE.

Yesterday Was a Record Breaker at New Orleans.

New Orleans, Oct. 13.—This was the record smasher in the number of deaths in a single day from yellow fever 6ince the eikness was first reported in New Orleans. It was difficult to .find the cause except in the .fact that concealment, neglect and rebellion against* the authority of the board of health have made it difficult for the physicians to give proper attention to cases. At 7 o'clock this evening there had been nine fatalities reported during the 24 hours. Heretofore the highest number of deaths in any one day has been six.

Among the new cases is that of Hunter C. Leake, general agent of the Illinois eCnetral railroad, and Dr. Spruell. The board of health officially reports: Cases of yellow (ever today, 31 deaths today, 9 total cases of yellow fever to date, 685 total deaths from yellow fever to date, 77 total cases ibsolutely recovered, 305 total cases under treatment, 303.

The board of health tonight received a let ter from health officer Johnson of Plaque mine Parish, saying that D. Taboney had flied of yellow fever.

Galveston, Tex., Oct. 13.—No new cases were reported as suspicious today and there were no deaths from yellow fever.

Jackson, Miss., Oct. 13.—The state board of health tonight issued the official statement as follows:

At Clinton only two cases under treatment At Nittayuma one new case today at Edwards six new cases and two deaths.

Houston, Tex., Oct. 13.—There was no fur ther developments in the fever situation here today.

Mobile, Ala., Oct. 13.—Thirteen new cases of yellow fever today no deaths. R. C. Hetties, formerly of Ohio, superintendent of the Wagar Lumber Company, Wagar, Ala., tied there last night of yellow fever.

LUETGERT BREAKING DOWN.

He Shed Tears—Ilis Attorneys Criticize the Judge.

Chicago, Oct. 13.—The entire day in the Luetgert trial was taken up by Attorney Phalen, who spoke for the defense. He tnade an impassioned plea for his client, accused the police of intimidating the witnesses for the defense and denounced many •f those who had appeared for the state as perjurers. He declared that the chain of circumstantial evidence on which Assistant State's Attorney McEweu had dwelt at so great length during his address was not a chain of circumstantial evidence at all, but a 'fragmentary collection of distorted facts. He will continue to speak the greater part of tomorrow and will then be followed by Attorney Vincent, for the defense, who will close the arguments in behalf of Luetgert. State's Attorney Deenen said that he would not consume over five hours in his closing address for the state on Saturday.

Adolph L. Luetgert shed tears this afternoon when at the adjournment of court he took leave of his little sons. Earlier in the day Luetgert showed emotion and his eyes were moist as Attorney Phalen pleaded with the jury to «pare hi6 client's life.

Luetgert is breaking down. This was the uuiversal verdict of those who have known and watched the man during the two months of his trial. The strain upon him is so great and at last his nervous system is weakening, the giant sausage m&ker does not sleep well at night of late. The near approach of the date upon which he will know his fate at the hands of the jury has completely upset him by the anxiety it has brought him. The attorneys for the defense are inclined to sympathize with Luetgert and today undertook to criticize Judge Tuthill for ordering the two small sons of the latter removed from the side of their father. "It was outrage," said ex-Judge Vincent. "It was uncalled for and I noted an exception to the act of the court and also to the court's remarks." "It was perfectly proper.** Assistant State's Attorney McEvren said. "No one

should be permitted to sit eloee to. the defendant except his counsel It is abaurd to hint that the court has hpt the power ana right to stop a play for sympathy siuch as Luetgert was making before the jurv

STRIKING- MINERS MRRKST^D^

Fifteen of Them, Including Members of a Bras* Sand.

Pittshufg, Oct. 13—The deputy sheriffs at the DeArmit coal mines made a raid on the strikers at Sandy creek this morning and arrested fifteen men, including the members of the brass band. The strikers were marching oii the public road, and were halted by the deputies about a quarter of a mile from the tipple. The band refused to stop playing, and the entire party was placed under arrest without any resistance. The prisoners were brought to this city and taken to Uie sheriff's office, where a hearing will be had this afternoon. The members of the band took their arrest good naturedly and played their instruments as they were escorted from the railroad station to the sheriff's office.

Chief Deputy Van said the men were rioters, and he feared trouble. This is denied by the strikers. Superintendent DeArmit Claims that three mines of the company arc now running to their fullest capacity.

Springfield, 111., Oct. 13.—Some 300 miners went to the Springfield Junction mine today, headed by District President Cartwright of the rihiners' union, because the operators at that shaft were selling coal to small consumers at 6 cents per bushel, 2 cents less than the poor price of the Springfield oper ators. Operators Robert D. Loose and Charles Price refused to increase the price unless the operators would pay them $300 per month royalty,' they being, at a disadvantage in selling coal by their mine being further from the city^than other mines. The delegation then miners working at the shaft and tebe totter agreed to go out in case their ejfijplti^Sfs did not raise the price of coal t'j^ 8 ,,pents per bushel. The Springfield Junction is.paying the miners' union scale.1- Thesheriff and deputies were present in c^ef-Hher# should be any trouble. ./ .'.i

TO FIGHT GLUCOSE TRUST.

New York and Chicago Capitalists Organize ANew Company.

Chicago, Oct. 13.—New York and Chicago capitalists have organized the Imeprial Glucose and Sugar Refining Company with a capital of §3,000,000 to compete with the Glucose trust. An immense plant will be erected at South Chicago and will be ready for operation within ten months. It will have a capacity of 30,000 bushels a day and give employment to 500 men. George W. Lamb of Chicago is the head of the new en terprise. He has been connected with the glucose industry and was secretary and manager of the American Glucose Company until the glucose sugar refining company purchased it. The projectors of the new company state positively that -it will lift its head above all temptation to' sell out to the trust. War to the finish with a, survival of the fittest is the declaration of principles the Imperial Company has laid down to the trust.

Three Addrestei at the Evening Session After Which Synod is Adjourned. Till May.

Wednesday afternoon witnessed the most exciting debate during the meeting of the Indiana synod of the Presbyterian Church, which closed last night.

The second half of the day was given to the subject o| honie missions, and the most prominent topic under this tiead was that of the synodical superintendency. The question which agitated the synod the most •was whether the Rev. Frank Hays, the present state missionary for th.e synod, shouud be retained in his official capacity or not.

For the past ten years the plan of working in missions in this state has attracted wide attention over the country. ,It was called the Indiana plan, and works mainly, as a minister yesterday' aptly put it, "from the bottom up." Any church-may have one or more missions, and any minister may have charge of the missions la touch which had never been tried in any other state before. A iu^n, experienced in such work, and called the synodical superintendent, goes over the state, wherever his services are most needed, and sees to the whole field. He may establish a mission here and he may furnish one with a leader. All these missions are expected to report to him and he is expected to see to them ail..

This office, however, no longer obtains in Indiana. As was first stated in The Express, there has been- much discussion over this.every meeting of the synod, and it was thought the one which was to be held this year would be more bitter than ever before. One presbytery, that of Crawfordsville, was represented by a meeting' of its preachers and elders, who decided'that the office of the superintendent was entirely unnecessary and that presbytery at least cnul^ do allthe mission work by members of the presbyny and at less cost.

The first speaker to take the floor after the meeting was called was the Rev. Frank Hays, whose office of superintendent would be decided by the action that afternoon. The Rev. Hays in a few words said be did not wish to be reappointed to the place if there was to be any disagreement between the members of the synod. .He disclaimed personality in the matter and begged the synod to consider the matter wholly for itself and its merits.

Mr. Snyder, a layman, was not in favor of the superintendent. He said that the laymen were already bearing all they could, with funds here and missions there.

The Rev. Chair, pastor of nine churches in the presbytery of New Albany, said that the Impression that, there was too much machinery in the mission was altogether wrong, but the trouble lay in that the people and the machinery were not in touch. The mission heads often did not have a fair show, for the larger churches, instead of air lowing them to attend to the wants of the poorer, selfishly held them in check.

The Rev. Hunter made one of his characteristic speeches, strongly advocating tho holding of the Rev. Hays in office. He said that a short time ago he in favor of abolishing the 'office, for the.reason that the synod was so heavily in debt. But since the greater part of this debt had been raised he wanted him retained.

The Rev. Love then spoke for the Crawfordsville presbytery, giving .. its action as told above. The plan is

SYNOD'S "MISSION'S

a

to loop little

c^*--"hes together. A number of other persons were heard. One venerable minister was impressed with the idea that he had the floor twice and was hissed for his radical statements concerning the Rev. Hays.

Late in the afternoon the., speeches were completed and the voting done, The first ballot stood 43 to 39 in favor of continuing the superintendency plan. It was seen that this division would never do, and that the brunt of the money raising would be borne by a few. So on motion of a gentleman the vote was changed to an unanimous one against the matter. This will be tried for a year, and it is likely the next year's discussion will be as heated.

It was decided to accept the invitation from the churches of Muncie and hold next year's synod at that place.

The first report was that on beneficences by the Rev. G. E. Davies. The report rec ommended a systematic collection of con tributions and the first Sunday in June of each year was appointed as the time. The report Included a table which showed the •reduction in contributions from 1895 to 1S9S, the loss ranging from 14 to 64 per cent,

The Rev. W. M. Torrence, chairman of the committee on appointment of trustees for Hanover College, made the following recommendations: The Rev. R. M. Stevenson. the Rev. R. V. Hunter and the Rev. John F. Baird. The report was adopted.

The committee on expenses suggested that the synod provide funds for the ex penses it incurs, and the report was laid over till the next meeting.

In the report of the judiciary committee the case of the Presbyterian Church against Harvey E. McCaslin of Franklin at the instance of Elder D. Vanneys of the Franklin Church was referred back to the committee.

The Rev. N. J. Frazer reported for the educational committee. Nine hundred antf eleven students were reported enrolled under this committee. Indiana is seventh in the list, Pennsylvania ranking first. The debt was reduced from 116,000 to $9,000, but falling off of $2,930 was reported in contributions from the Christian Endeavor cieties end Sabbath schools.

The Rer. Frank Hays read the report for the home mission work of the state. His report was a very extensive one. There have been 3,555 accessions to the church during the past year, 2,034 of which were upon confession.

F. H. Hays has traveled during Ore year 11,700 miles and has written 1,600 letters. He organized one new church and helped raise the debts of four churches.

Chairman W. J. Frazer of the committee on education gave the report on that subject, where are 911 roung men who are largely assisted in their work in the colleges and seminaries by the state church. Indiana sends her quota of young men to these institutions. But she fails slightly in the fund. The 42,000 Presbyterians of the state gave $458 to the fund, but drew out $1,954. Indiana sent in contributions from 113 congregations, Cut 207 congregations sent none. The total synodical expense: for the year were $82.18. The assessments for synodical expenses for next year are as

Indianapolis, $S3* Logansport, $2S ie, $16 New Albany, #25 yinceones, $l3 TOitr Water, $24.

The report of ithe temperance committee was read by Chairman W. M. Jennings and the reptort was referred back to the committee, "puring this report the matter of Princeton Inn was touched upon. Princeton Inn Is a boarding school at Princeton College, where liquors axe said to be sold. The synod aBopted resolution to ask tho general assembly of the church to investigate the matter thoroughly.

A repetition of Tuesday's pleasant hour oftBinch "was the order of the synod yesterJlW noon, The ladies of the church again Iraited upon the clergymen.

The real business, of the synpd closed yesterday afternoon at? 4 o'clock, when a^num-bjefr-iof visiting1 divinfe took their- departure. Majjy remained to attend the popular, meetiig at 7:45 in th.e evening, which was given if 'tne interest of foreign missions. A.t this meeting, which was also attended by many citizens, the Rev. R. M. Stevenson of Madi son, late of the Pacific coast, acted as temporary moderator, and opened the meeting with an eloquent address. The first speaker introduced wias the Rev. R. V. Hunter of Indianapolis, who, as is his usual way, brought the smiles to the faces of his listeners by his opening remarks. Tho Rev. lir. Hunter was unable to refrain from mentioning his sorrow that the matter of the synodical sujperintendency had miscarried, and that he considered it a step backward. "I feel somewhat as the fellow who was struck by the street car,' said the Rev. Hunter. "He was dazed, but net dead, and ^rhen he had returned to consciousness his first remark was, 'I feel as if I'd lost my breath.' That expresses my condition of mind tonight when talking of home missions after the action of the synod this afternoon. These foreigners who come to our shores need to be 'missionated.' If they increase and their immoral influences increase In Tatio with the present rate there is no tailing what the result will be. Why, there fs a Mormon Church right in Indianapolis, within a few blocks of my church, and many persons have had the curiosity to attend their so-called services. Then there are the mountain whites and the negroes of the South. Few of them are educated and the percentage of crime among them is great. There is a great work waiting."

The Rev. J. C. Smith of the Tabernacle Church, Indianapolis, held the audience in closo attention for a few minutes. The Rev. Mcintosh was the last speaker. He ie engaged in active missionary work in Indianapolis. He said two-thirds or more of the preachers and the members of the city churches come from the towns and rural districts, and that without these tho city congregations would be thin indeed.

At the close of this address the synod was formally adjourned, to meet again at Winona in short session, May of next year and. to hold its regular meeting next October at Muncie.

AI0W POINt RECORD

CORK USD THE GRAIN MARKETS IN MAK1NQ A SHARP DECLINE.

Wheat and Oatt Followed Salt In Spite of the Fact That Foreign Markets Were Stiff.

Chicago, Oct 14.—Cora, led the grain markets today. It sold at the lowest point I* months aad carried wheftt and oats with it. Changinc from December to May and general liquidation by disgusted longs, remitted in a decline ot l%Ql%c (or December. Wheat declined %®%c, bullish foreign paws steadying the market to a certain «xtenU Oats closed lower* Provisions were helped by an improved cash demand and closed 2&07&C higher.

About all the strength the wheat showed today was confirmed to the first lew minutes' trading. December started at 91%@91%c. with one or two sales as high as 92c, as compared with yesterday's closing price of 91?*c for about halt an hour the price held at about that figure. Opening Influences affecting wheat were the higher cables and the revised estimate by the Hungarian minister of agriculture regarding the world's wheat and rye production. Liverpool before the opening here had advanced %@l%d over yesterday's prices, while Paris was unchanged to 15 centimes higher. The Hungarian figures made the world's wheat production for this year 208,000,000 bushels less than last. The world's rye crop this year was estimated as 40,000,000 bushels short of last year. The Northwestern receipts showed a rather marked falling olr. The total at Duluth and Minneapolis was 781 cars, against 1,046 a week ago, and SS7 a year ago. Chicago receipts were also very light, 165 cars. The effect of all this was offset in a measure by the Cincinnati Price Current, which said that rains had so improved the outlook that an enlarged area was practically assured. Although the opening was strong, there were quite a number of holders who were willing to take their profltV anil selling of this sort was sufficient to matefrthe market in the opposite direction. Y.Sr3h£t}?{LLreP°r*8 concerning the Russian wheal prriouptKm came in while the market waif wehKwl, ttot the effect was not noticeable. BmshhaH's special correspondent said the-,, Caqmwsf ^province would not export over' 2^,600.(500,.bushels of wheat, against 48.000,006 bifEhefe 'la'st year. Very little life was shown aSter ffihe ^opening flurry. Realizing sales by longs,^eoupled with the weakness in corn, made a.combination which the market could not* overcome and there was a steady drift downward. The decline was not rapid, as the trade was too light to warrant much movement. The early selling by the longs simply supplied the more urgent of the shorts, after which the market was left largely to Its own resources. The exports for the day were equal to 695,000 bushels. Primary market receipts were 1,081,000 bushels against 1,038,000 a year ago. December gradually settled down to 90%c and 90V4c, and closed at 90%@90%c bid.

Corn developed great weakness almost from the start. An attempt was made by- the holders ot the December future to change their property to May In doing so the difference between the twe months widened out to 4 per cents, per bushel. December declined lc per bushel during the first hour. Large quantities of corn were thrown on the market as the session advanced, much of which was credited to New York longs. To add to the weakness, there was apparently no short Interest and at times it was very hard to dispose of offerings. Cash demand showed a slight improvement. Receipts were 699 cars. Clearances were sir)oil, 94,000 bushels. The Price Currant said offerings of new corn would be early. Dccstnber ranged from 28c to 26%® 26%c, closing at l%0l%c lower at 2«%c bid.

Oats suffered with corn. There was no trade of .'.importance, and the market was entirely a- sympathetic one. Tscre was some soiling of oats against purchases cf corn. Receipts were light, 296 cars. Charters wore for 265,000 bushels. December ranged from 19V4 to IRKc, closing lower at lS&c bid.

Considering the weakness of corn, provisions showed considerable strength. The market started strong with some outside support, and on the better cash remand. There was a period of weakness due to.the decline In grain, then quiet but steady buying by shorts started prices upward again, and kept the market firm for the remainder of the session. At the. close December pork was 2%c rlgher at $7.75 December lard 2%c higher at $4.27tt and December ribs 5@7%c higher «t $4.52%@4.5n.

Estimated receipts Friday: Wheat. 210 cars corn. 825 cars: cats, 325 cars: hogs, 28,000 head. CIiOStNG. a .a 3

STOCK AND BOND MARKET.

Tho Bean Bad 'things' Their Own Way In Fording Down Frieea, New York,* Oct. 141—The action'of prices iri today's stock market might be likened to the toilsome and arduous efforts of weakened animal to climb to a secure statloh only to be continually tumbled backward by a single hostile stroke. The ready success of the bears In depressing prices, led them eccasiosally to takq profits. These spasmodic covering movements were achieved without affecting any marked change in the genera level of prices and the upward course soon resulted in an almost stagnant condition. There would be a spirit of uctivity whenever the bears renewed meir raid and apparently the flesiie to sell only ceased when the bears ceased in seUing the example by short selling. Chicago Gas continued to occupy by fat the largest share of attention and ranged over 4^t points during the day. Large supportlrtg orders were in the market at the opening so that the initial sale was at a fractional advance over last night's cloee. But this was the highest quotation of the day and the majority of the dealings was a level considerably over a point below last night's close. Sugar, which ^as next in point of activity, was also under very heavy pressure and declined at one time 3 points below last night's level. The firmest tone of the market during the day was In the last hour, and it looked as though prices would be allowed to recover *o within a fraction of last night's close, but a renewed drive in the last ten minutes of trading knocked the"' toilsome climbers again- Net losses ranged from to 3 per cent. In the most active $tqcK in fne list. The Southern rallroods and the iSotffnwftsterng and some of the coalers showed-' tteeMgfeitest weakness in the railroad llsU Manhattan was also quite severely bandied. The gold which was shipped from Europe last W«reK"begati to arrive toaay. $200,000 being d0pa»$eftl1n~7the assay office, and $560,000 In the plear^ng -ftpijse vaults. The money market continue? easy, though with no appreciable change, is rates. No further engagements of gold fof import are announced, but they are considered likely before the week closes. The fade statement for September, Issued by the government, mokes it likely that the excess of exports over

Imports for that month will be found to foot up $55,000,000 against nearly $41,000,000 for August, and over $17,000,000 for July. The delayed cotton movement, which has not yet attained its full foice. Insures an additional heavy trade balance in favor Of this country for the current month. The movement of gold for the season Is therefore considered certain to be very heavy unlets the rates for money in foreign financial centers shall advance so far as to make It more orottt-able not to draw on these foreign credits for gold shipments.

Dealings in bonds were on a reduced scale, fend the tone was weak, !hough fluctuations were unimportant. Total na'.es, 81,850.000. United States old 4's were advanced Vi bid.
