Twenty-Five Killed at BattleCreek, Mich.

Wreck on tit XUlaola Central

Track $r Kaakake- Horrible

Ths worst railroad accident known for years occurred about 4 o'clock, Friday morning, in the yards -of the Chicago & Grand Trunk road, close by the roundhouse of kittle Creek, Mieh., by which at least twenty-five persons lost their lives and double as many more were badly injured. A Raymond & Whitcomb special train of passengers from New York and Boston, who wero returning from Chicago, was Surcharge of conductor Scott and engineer Wool eTr and took orders at Battle Creek station to meet at Nichols No. 9, the 'Pacific express going west, due at Battle Creek station at 1:35 o'clock, but which was nearly three hours late. The conductor or engineer,or both,of the Raymond special.disobeyed orders, passed Nichols station and their train collided with

the Pacific express coming west at the rate j

of about thirty miles an hour. The two engines were driven into each other and are a total wreck. The engineers and firemen, when they saw that a collision was inevitable, shut off steam, reversed their engines, put on brakes and all jumped and escaped without serious injury. The engineer of the Pacific express was named Gil Granshaw and the conductor was named Kurk. The latter was badly hurt by being caught in the cars. Tbe passengers in the four coaches were more or less injured, and from one of them (No. 13) called "the unlucky coach," which has been in several accidents before, there were tw aty-five dead bodies taken from the wreck in the morning by the firemen. They were pinioned under seats and jammed up against the end of the coach by the next coach, which had telescoped it, and then burned to death. The accident happened a mile from the fire at&tfon and before water could be turned on the cars were all destroyed and the bodies burned so as to be unrecognizable. Nearly all had their heads, arms or legs burned off and cannot be identified ye As the second coach crashed through it swept the people in tbe north end of the third car to the vicinity of the stove, where most of the bodies were afterward found. The car immediately took fire and In an instant was all ablaze. The night yardmen and neighbors in the vincinity rushed to the rescue as soon as possible. Those who saved themselves smashed out the windows and climbed through. Three only got out on the left side and about six from the right of the coach; all the rest perished. The New Orleans limited over the I1H-, aofs Central road with every coach full of

of World's Fair passengers, was wrecked by colliding with a coal train, three miles beyond Kankakee, at 11 o'clock Thursday night,. Eight -persons were seriously in-

jured and many more suffered from bruise

that did not require toe attention oi a surgeon. . ( . A head-on collision occurred on the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago railroad near Monroeville, O., Sunday morning, bocause of a dense fog. A bad wreck resulted. The engineer and fireman of one train were badly injured. Two lives were lost. "MURDER WILL OUT." Wrattan Murderers Safely Landed in Jeffersonville Prison, Full Confeialon By One of the Criminals Seven Men Implicated In the Horrible Crime. At last the guilty murderers of the Wrattan family are in the toils of the law. Five of the suspects arrested and taken to Jeffersonville two weeks ago were rightly suspected, but it was not through them that the heinous criminals were exposed. Saturday the grand jury ordered the arrest of James Stone, the man who came to the Wrattan house early Tuesday morning and first discovered the terrible tragedy. His arrest was caused through his own wife, who appeared before the grand jury and testified that Stone arose in the night and complained of a violent toothache, and that he was going to a dentist to have it extracted; that he did not return until a late hour, and then being covered with blood he asked for a change of clothes; that Stone maintained that the blood on his clothes was caused by the bleeding of his tooth. On inquiry it was found that no doctor or dentist had extracted a tooth from Stone. This was deemed strong evidence, especially when coming from the man's wife. As soon as Stone was brought to town the grand jury went to work to obtain a confession from him. At first he strenously denied everything, but being assured that clemency would be guaranteed to him if he made a confession, he at midnight yielded to their overtures. He told his story about as follows: Knowing that Mrs. Wrattan kept a great deal of money about the house Grandison Cosby, a notorious character in the county, planned a robbery. A gang of scyen persons that formed a sort of society for robberies and general hellish ness, was notified of his plan. Their names are Grandison Cosby, Lon Williams, Marten Yarberof this city, William Kays of Pike county, John W. White, Gipp Clark and James Stone. The plan was that Yarber and Clark should get into tho house and commit the robbery while the others were to stand guard. At the time when the robberry was to be committed, Cosby and Stone had not yet arriyed. Cosby was in the city Monday evening, and was so drunk that he got paat going and did not reach the house at all, but Stone arrived after the murders had been committed, and because he was late the other conspirators wallowed him in the blood of the victims, and in that condition permitted him to go home, and that was the nail that fastened down the lid of their coffins. They could not find a cent of the money. As Stone did not arrive until the six murders were committed, he does not know why it was done. All the criminals were arrested and taken to Jeffersonville Saturday night. Williams and Kays are already in Jeffersonville prison. Brown, another suspect, who was taken to Jeffersonville, has no connection with the tragedy, and he will be released. The excitement is more intense than ever. Woe to the murderers if a Daviess county crowd can lay hands on them.

ONE THOUSAND SOLDIERS KILLED.

Pitched Battle Reported to Have Taken Flaoe In Bio Grande do Sol, The New York World's special cable from Buenos Ayres, Argentina, Sunday says: "A pitched battle has been fought on the river Ibicui, in the Brazilian State of Bio Grande do Sul. The Insurgents defeated the troops of General Castillo. One thousand soldiers are reported to have been killed or wounded. The Brazilian men-of-war at La Plata have been manned with new officers chosen by President Peixoto, and are ordered to co-operate in an attack to be made upon Admiral Mello's fleet in the harbor of Rio de Janeiro." The steamer Hevlins arrived this morning from Rio de Janeiro, from which port she sailed on Sept. 28. Captain Stapleton states that there is nothing to report up to that date. Admiral Mello's cannonading has done no serious damage, although a few had been killed by the shells. Captain Stapleton says that on the 38th he saw a young Englishman killed in the streets by a piece of a shell hitting him in the head. A large number of foreign men-of war were in the harbor, including the United States steamer Charleston, recently arrived. REV. PETTIT DEAD.

PH0HTS OF CONCESSIONAIRES.

They Hv Cleared 4t000,(KQ ,4 1 $h Fait Yesterday,! Ate!odkaee . With less than a week left of the official exposition session, a close estimate can be given of the profits made by the hundreds of concessionaires in Jacksop Park and the Midway. Chief Clerk Blackman, df Administrations and Collections Departments, figures that the profits of the concessionaires will aggregate $4,000,000. after deducting the percentage to the Exposition. This represents about 20 per cent, of tho gross receipts, Most, of the concessionaires have made money after paying from 25 to 50 per cent, into the Exposition treasury. The Ferris Wheel Company will pay a profit of about 260,000, after dedcucting 93CO.O0J for cost and 50 per cent, of tho receipts paid to the Fair after that amount was taken in. When the Dockery congressional com mittee was in Chicago investigating the finances of tho Exposition and its estimates of revenue while the iive-million-dollar loan bill was before Congress, as littks as $1,030,0(0 was estimated as tho income from concessions. JJig restaurants in the park, particularly those of tho Wellington Catering Comdany, have found their concessions the most profitable. The electric launch, soda water, pop corn and souvenir concessions come next on the profit side of the ledger. Whatever may bo the fate of tho other features of the World's Fair, the LVrri wheel will turn on its axis for some time to come, It will not be moved to Coney Island or elsewhere. It will remain in Midway Piaisance. New York wanted the great invention, but the company will not leave a good business for an uncertainty, This conclusion has been reached by the executive officers of the company, and it is finally decided the company has the right to its present position on Midway until May 1, 1804, and there it will remain. COUNTERFEIT SILVER DOLLARS.

West Virginia Flooded With a Coin ol Overweight. 4 It has been discovered that West Virginia towns have been flooded with thousands of counterfeit silver dollars. The bogus money has the true ring, but is a little overweight and perceptibly larger in diameter. The milling is not perfect, but so nearly so that it would take an expert to detect tho ditference. The people appear perfectly willing to take them, although aware that they were not minted by the government. There is no clew to tho manufacturers of the spurious coin, if a coin composed of more than the legal amount of silver can bo called spurious, but the money appears to have been gotten through legitimate trade channels. The question with the people who have taken the stuff is upon what ground can the treasury department condemn tho money? The enterprise was probably started in response to oft-repeated newspaper suggestions that silver dollars of tho same weight and fineness as those made by the government could be made at a profit of 40 to 45 cents on the dollar.

A "FAIR" START.

A Ho otiler Girl Embarki on the Matrinio niskl Sea From the Indiana Building at Jackson Park, Miss Gertrude Leigh Wilson, of Lafayette, and Frank R. Phelps, of Chicago, enjoyed the unique experience of being joined in marriage in the Indiana World's Fair building, Wednesday. Mr. Phelps, who is a retail grocer on Halsted street, wrote tho other day to Commissioner Liavens asking the privilege of marrying an Indiana girl in the building. Permission was given when it was found out that he was in earnest. Miss Wilson arrived from Lafayette, Wednesday, and was met by the prospective groom. Accompanied by his brother and a minister, they were driven to the Fair grounds and repaired at once to the Indiana building, which was well filied by those who had learned oi the novel event. Standing in the center of the assembly room, the knot was tied, a cheer was given for the couple and the little party started off to partake of a wedding breakfast, after which they enjoyed a tour of the grounds.

Alone and Unaided He M ordered the Wratteu Family. James Stone made another confesssion,

The officers went out Wednesday morning before daylight and found them where Stone had stated, A small bloody ax and a cornknife were hidden under a log in a piece of woods close by the scene of the tragedy. The weapons are now in possession of the grand jury. Stone may, or may not, be telling the truth. He has the reputation of being a notorious liar.

WILL NOT COMPROMISE.

President Cleveland Sald .to Hm 8t Cfowi on the Xotti'' '..V' ' A Washington dispatch to the Chieago t Record, Tuesday, says: At no time in the last sixty days of the silver struggle has the condition of affairs been more chaotic than it is to-day. President Cleveland has destroyed the last vestige Df hope for a compromise by his authoratative statement that unconditional repeal is the only settlement of the question which will be satisfactory to him. This, coming at the very moment when the com- u promisors had framed a bill and had' flamboyantly given it to the country as a compromise acceptable to the administration, has demoralized all calculations and has aroused new animosities. One of the Senators repeated to a cor respondent the substance of the President's views, and then stated the follow ing as the exact words of Mr. Cleveland: kThe financial question has ceased to be the great one before the United States Senate. The paramount question now is whether the maioritv of the Senate shall be permitted to legislate or whether a minority will compel the majority to abdicate its (unctions. This is a vital issue involving a fundamental principle of our fovernmpnt. and it must he settled before unconditional repeal, tariff or any other subject to which the majority wishes to address itself can be considered." The Senators came away satisfied that no compromise giving the slightest concession or modification from unconditional ' repeal would bo considered for a moment by the President. Ho said that he looked upon the least modification of what the majority wanted as an admission that the majority no longer rules in the American Congress, and such a principle was too iangerous to be permitted to find lodgment in our institutions.
